The Dark Side

Chapter 20

"Oh my god." I grunted.

"Are you Ok?" Joe asked.

"Uh, I feel a little sick to my-" without a second thought, I ran over to a near by trash can and puked.

Earth stood up very worried. "What's happening to her!?"

"She is just throwing up, don't worry, it is very normal for humans." Joe explained.

"Dude, she is gonna find out." James whispered to Joe. "It's already kinda noticeable."

Joe nudged at James.

"What's noticeable?" I asked, whipping my mouth clean.

"Uh, those biscuits.... were expired, and now you're probably sick." said Joe.

"Thanks allot." I said sarcastically.

In seconds My stomach was starting to hurt "I'm pretty sure you guys have bathrooms too?" I asked Earth.

He pointed down the hall, without a word to say. I looked over and saw a sign with a picture of a toilet on it, and walked to the bathroom.

~~~Earth's POV~~~

"Whats going on with her?" I asked.

"Nothing she is just felling nauseous." Joe told me.

"Is it only you're females that get this sickness?"

"For this situation... yes." James blurted.

Joe began to nag at his friend, and soon they were having an argument that I had trouble understanding. "Will one of you, please, explain to me what's going on?" I begged.

They all paused and looked at me. Then I saw someone enter the room over Jame's shoulder, and I was for sure that It wasn't Mellon. Getting a clearer view, I realized that It was Luyten, aiming a gun at my friends.

~~~Mellon's POV~~~

"Oh my god, my stomach hurts..." I said to my self as I was washing my hands.

I looked around the bathroom, and saw how it looked so similar to bathrooms I see back home. I guess our technology had matched up to the aliens technology when they were still at peace. The only thing different, was that the toilets were a bit weird. Probably cause the aliens have tails.

Suddenly I heard yelling and a loud bang outside. I quickly ran out of the bathroom, and saw that other alien that tried to kill us, and Earth laying on the ground. Joe and Jame's dove for cover behind desks dragging Earth with them. I quickly pulled out the gun I found back at NASA and began shooting at the other alien. I caught him by surprise so I took him out with two hits, but I ran up to him to make sure he was dead this time. And, of course, he was still alive. I took his gun from him and put it in my pocket. He started chirping loud and angrily, probably cursing at me, I shot him in the head twice and this time I am for sure I killed him.

I ran over to Joe and James who were taking care of Earth.

"Is he Ok?" I asked.

"He was shot in the chest, I think it hit his lung." Joe said.

Earth was coughing up blood and struggling to breathe. "D-don't worry... we h-have... three l-lungs."

"What do we do?!" James panicked. "He's gonna drown in his own blood!"

Earth pointed up to the bridges. "There's a ho-ospital..."

Earth reached into his pocket and gave me the clump of ice that he had then suddenly stopped talking and breathing.

"Oh my god, did he just die!" I screamed.

Joe checked Earth's wrist for a pulse. "He's still alive. Come on lets get him to that hospital, I can help him with the medical supplies up there."

"Just give him CPR!" James nagged.

James tried to do CPR on Earth until Joe pushed him away. "Don't, you'll make it worse!" he yelled.

I ran over to a near by desk and grabbed a rolling chair. "Come on, help me get him on it." I said.

I remembered on my way to the bathrooms I saw an elevator so I suggested that we use it to go the rest of the way up. Joe and James sat Earth in the rolling chair and we rushed to those bridges. Joe kept checking Earth for a pulse, he said that it was slowing down and that we needed to hurry. Once we got over to the bridges we had to slow down cause they didn't have railings, and the rolling chair was kinda hard to control.

"Were is it?" Joe panicked. "I can't read these signs!"

James looked around."Uh, over there! See the red cross on the building!" He pointed out.

"Why aren't we carrying him, instead of using this stupid chair?!" James yelled.

"Ugh! He's to big for us!" I answered. "What don't you understand?"

"Well they shrink, right?" He questioned.

"I don't know how to make them shrink!" I yelled.

"Shut up, were almost there!" Joe complained.

It was about time we made it. We rushed in, and Joe was amazed how much good equipment they had. He found an emergency operating room and took Earth in there with him. He asked James to help him and told me to stay behind to make sure no more evil aliens sneak in since I had the gun. I stayed put waiting to see what would happen and looked around for any other entrances to the room, then I saw something odd. I walked up to some machine that had a picture of a frozen person, and an arrow pointing down under it.

"Maybe this is what they use to defrost people." I said to my self.

I looked for an 'ON' button but I couldn't read the writing on the machine, but I did see a switch so I flipped it and hoped for the best. The machine started and I cheered silently. I put the ice inside the machine. But then my good mood went away cause I don't know how to use it. And there are still writing I don't understand! I threw my hand at my face in shame. I stared at a screen that had six options. I was totally afraid that I might mess up, but I still had to pick one. so I closed my eyes and randomly pressed a button.Then I heard the machine hum and I opened my eyes and watched to ice melt slowly.
