(Third POV)
Time passed by quickly and soon days turned into months and then into years. Life went on and the remaining humans soon adapted to hiding and foraging. It was new and strange, yes, but because of the aliens we weren't killing our world anymore.
We were more or less free.
Elena watched as Ana ran around with her new friends. The village or town at this point was flourishing and growing. There were more safety measures but in the end it felt different.
It wasn't a prison or a corral. It was home and it could be whatever it wanted to be.
Connor smiled at Elena besides him and grabbed her hand. In the past months they had slowly gotten to know each other. The frail bond that used to be there was now replaced by a stronger one. It would survive many more years and invasions and eventually the birth of their kids.
The aliens were thriving and making Earth their own. They tore down the cities and towns but for some reason our presence lingered. They weren't sure of why. Maybe they forgot that they're was a reason why we were still alive and holding on.
We were the apex predator. While that wasn't as true anymore, the planet. Our planet. Remembered.
It remembered the laughter of little children
It remembered how we shivered in the cold
It remembered the fighting spirit
The wars
The famines
All the lessons we learned
Our ruthlessness
and yet........
It also remembered the best of us:
The love of a family
How kind a stranger could be
Little children helping each other
The ones fighting for what they believed was right
Those who cried and were comforted
and in years to come it will remember all that and more.
Our tears and our joy, our anger and our sadness. Our fear and our helplessness. Our love and our hate.
But most of all?
It will remember our Fight For Freedom.
