Alien //H.S.//

Chapter 8

*Alice*

I wake up to something banging loudly. It takes me a moment to realize that it's my heart that's creating the banging noise.

I look around, and try to figure out what happened. I don't remember much. Let's see...I was at the dance...that explains the dress I'm wearing. The crown...oh yeah I won queen! And...wait...the scream and gun shots...Seth and Harry...me fainting. Oh yeah.

I slowly sit up, and realize that I'm on a bed, but whatever I'm in, it's moving. A car? No. Too round. And it's big...and it feels like we're flying...

I look around, and it turns out, I'm not alone. Harry's leaning against a wall all the way across the "room" I'm in. He's watching me closely. He's also right by the door.

When I find my voice, I decide to speak. Maybe find out where I am...

"Where am I?" I demand. Harry shifts his position, so that he's now walking towards me, his hands behind his back. He pauses next to the bed I'm currently on, and hesitates.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you yet." What?! That's a bunch of bull shiz!

"Well then I'm leaving." I say and start to get up.

"Yeah, I don't think so." In seconds, he's on top of me. "We're about 20 miles up high." My eyes widen. "And you will stay here, understood?" I stare at him, shocked. What happened to the Harry that wanted me to have fun at the dance? The dimples Harry?

"What is wrong with you?! Why are you so mean all of the sudden!" My eyes fill with tears. His expression softens. He reaches out and gently rubs my arm. I pull away immediately. He sighs.

"I'm sorry, Alice. I really am. I tried to look for a better way...but I just couldn't. I really am sorry I had to do it this way...most of the people at the school are fine I think."

"Seth!" I choke back a sob. Harry inches towards me. I inch away.

"It's ok." He whispers. And then I understand.

Seth.

I can hear the gun shots and screams again, it's like I'm reliving the moment. Seth looks at me with wide eyes.

"Alice!" When did he call my name in that mess? Or did I not hear the time when it actually happened?

"Alice!" His voice is drowned out by his own scream. He drops down on the floor, a bloody gap in his chest. His eyes roll to the back of his head, his body goes still, his lips turn blue, and his skin an ugly grey color.

No.

Seth.

He's gone.
