Chapter 21 the arrival:

Amber was in a flowerbed doing some gardening when she saw something falling in the nearby field. Bang! "What was that? An escape pod? I've not seen one of these since I watched Star Wars with my family." Amber got of her knees and brushed the dry dirt of her blue dungarees and rushed over to

the colourful field filled with Daisy's and other beautiful flowers.

She saw where it had crashed landed. Amber got ready to fight then saw

two Martians come out with a white flag "We come in peace! We're hear to

help you! Master Martian has found out you have gone and he's coming

back for you! He won't give up. He's not that kind of breed! You must

leave this planet before master arrives!" Amber looked at them

sarcastically "we're all trapped here now you numbskulls?" The two

Martians looked at each other worried. "Now where all doomed! This is

all your fault Joseph! You told me to go with you and now we're stuck on

an abandoned world and when our father comes he's going to hang us!

Well done, brother." Said the second Martian in frustration. "Oh stop

being immature, brother and close your mouth, you'll catch flies if you

don't. The humans will help us. Won't you?" Joseph said, hope gleaming

in his eyes. Amber was about to reply when suddenly. "Amber move its a

martian!" Ryan hid behind a log with a fully loaded AK 47 in his arms,

ready to fire. "No Ryan stop! There friendly!" Amber screamed, rushing

in front of the little creatures as protection. "Since when are those

things friendly!" Ryan wasn't having any of it. He glared at the green

fellows through his loved ones sight. "Ryan please don't! They want to

help us! They want us to be allies. Just us and them." Amber looked at

them cheerfully. "When you say them, do you mean all of them or just

them two?" Ryan asked, facing his gun down to stop the tension. "Just

them two. They warned us that the master that tried to destroy the human

race was returning to destroy us and take over planet earth. They want

to help us attack back. They left everything they knew and loved, for

us. We have to help them. They have nothing. We are there only chance in

survival." Amber stared at Ryan sympathetically and he sighed. "We also

have hover boards and laser guns" Ryan was surprised "really? Cool! Let

me see! Oh yeah, ahem, we'll help you, Martians. Now let me see the guns." Ryan rushed over to the Martians and put his arm around Joseph in his most friendly way and walked into the house with him. Amber was happy now then she remembered, Jane. Her best friend. Dead. She felt

hollow inside. A sudden pain filled her. A single tear went down her

face as she rushed back to tend to her garden, she rubbed her eye with

her sleeve, put on her gardening gloves and got to work. She started

thinking. Why did they leave everyone and everything they loved for five

lonely human beings? They could have been sent by their master. Amber

shook her head and got rid of that dangerous thought. She planted some

red roses and Lilies, they were her favourite, she took a deep breath of

the scent. They were also Jane's favourite. "I will never forget you,

Jane" she said under her breath. She stood up and walked towards the

house. Trying not to cry. Ryan spotted his beautiful girl with moist

eyes. He decided to comfort her but by the time he thought of that she

had already ran away crying to herself at the bottom of a tree. She was

trying to stop but she couldn't. The tears carried on falling down her

face uncontrollably. Her grandma, Grandfather, uncles, cousins, friends...

All dead. She had lost everyone she had ever cared or loved. She felt so

shallow. Saving herself and no one else. She was guilty. "Baby?" Amber

looked up to see her mother walking towards her slowly. "Mom... Hi, how

are you?" Amber could now stop since she wasn't alone. She had got it

out of her system. Or so she thought. "I'm fine but I can't say the same

for you." Said Leanne now sitting next to her daughter. "I was just

thinking. All those people we left on the ship. Our friends and family

are all..." Amber couldn't bare to say the word. She sighed. "Well,

survival of the fittest, I suppose. I don't blame you for feeling bad

but there's nothing we can do about it apart from destroy there kind

just like there trying to with man kind. They will pay for this. Don't

you worry about that sweetie. We're prepared for anything." Leanne

smiled happily and hugged her daughter. "Right I'm going doing some

shopping. See you in a bit" with that she walked away and left her

daughter smiling gratefully. She suddenly heard Ryan searching for her.

"Amber? Where are you?" He yelled. He was panicking. Amber laughed

quietly until she heard a rustle behind her. She froze. Her heart was

pumping as loud as a drum. It was Ryan but he was hiding in the shadows.

He had already seen her there and was going to get her into a better

mood. He charged forward "Boo!" Amber screamed at the top of her lungs

whilst Ryan laughed so hard he fell to the ground "You idiot! You gave

me a heart attack!" They playfully fought with each other which resolved

to Ryan tickling Amber making her giggle like a mad person. She was

giggling so much her eyes were watering. When Ryan was content with her

mood he stopped "now that's the Amber I know and love." He helped her

onto her feet, put his arm through hers and started walking back to the

house. By the time they arrived back home it was dark and from there

walk they were both exhausted. They went to there peaceful home and went

to sleep. What a long day.
