Just A Beginning

Chapter 2

Wait, hold on this alien just tried to kill me and now she needs my help??

"Listen princess, you just tried to kill me and I decided that I'd stay out of your way."

"Look, I'm not entirely ecstatic about it either." She starts "but you're the only individual I've encountered that doesn't have the slightest feeling of fear."

"The only person you've encountered within the 20 minutes of you being on earth... how ironic."

"Irony has nothing to do with the fact that you're brave and I..."

"You?"

"I.. need you." She looks away in discust of her words.

What... do I smell bad or something?

"With what, princess?" I ask with a heavy sigh.

"A sudden unfortunate event has occurred on my home planet of Tameran and I must return." She paces over to my mirror.

"And what do you need me for?" I ask as she picks up a small knife that lay on the table.

"I'm practically a wanted fugitive on my planet and it's highly difficult to enter my planet's atmosphere without the sensors going off, you're pure human and they haven't quite fixed the bug of true human Deoxyribose Neucleic Acid or DNA so if I stay near you they won't detect my presence."

My head litterally just exploded.

"So, you're telling me that I need to go with you to your planet to help you do.... what exactly?"

"Well I have but the slightest of feelings that my planet is being attacked and-"

"Wait!  you're going to be dragging halfway through the galaxy, going through tremendous deathly situations to reach your planet over a meer hunch!?" I exclaim

"Yes." She bounces on her toes a bit with not smile.

"Hold on, what's the percentage out of one hundred of me actually living?"

"Hmm, about a twenty-six percent chance."

"What about the other seventy-four percent!?" I exclaim.

"You could blow up." She says with no worry in her tone. It sounds oddly happy. Still no smile.

My eyes widen and I sit down on my bed in front of her spinning around on my black spinny chair.

"So, how far is this planet of yours?" I ask after a few minites of total silence.

"Approximately four lightyears away but don't worry, it'll only take us a few minutes to get there if I travel at my fastest."

"Okay, is there any earthlike things back on your planet?"

"Everything besides metal; we build our buildings with stable concrete and gold."

"Interesting. What is your government like?"

"We follow the rules of a Monarchy."

"Oh duh.... blonde moment."

"What is the 'blonde moment'?"

"Nevermind" I role my eyes.

"Any other questions?" She asks standing walking over to the balcony window.

"Not entirely, no."

"Okay well." She opens the balcony window doors and jumps onto the railing looking back at me. "Are you coming?"

I look around my room as I stand up walking towards her. I jump on the railing with her and look at her as she looks at me with her big green eyes.

"I'm in."
