Beneath The Sun And Stars

Fast Forward a few years and the aliens have now devastated the planet zapping it of its resources and human life. Daniella has driven to South Dakota to investigate the crash site

"I don't understand what in the world would make you want to visit that crash site" Madison said late one night. For the last year they had been hiding in an abandoned junkyard. Food was scarce. Happiness was even more scarce. Constant fear of being found was always pulsing in their heads in the deepest parts they couldn't push out. "Because. There might be something we're missing. Something that could lead to their downfall." He said back in defense. "Okay I'm one for danger but what you're doing is one of the most stupid things I have ever heard." "Maybe. But I'm doing it. And you aren't stopping me."

Daniella sat in her hotel room fiddling with her thumbs waiting for the call that would determine what she would do next. Her plans to inform the media had failed. The ship had landed before she got there. "Why am I like this." She spoke before watching to the kitchen. "Oh great. Now I'm talking to myself." Daniella opened the hotel refrigerator grabbing something to drink. As she walked back to the living room to sit down the phone rang.
'Hello? This is the Admiral'

'Oh thank god! I've been waiting'

'The crash site is indeed cleared'

'You don't know how much that means. I'll get to the site immediately'

'Stay safe'

'I will, have a nice day'

'Goodbye'

"I'm going come on let's go." Zach said in rising anger. Madison refused to go."Absolutely not. I'm not getting myself killed." "Fine. I'll just go by myself." Zach packed up with food and water before walking out of the junkyard pushing the backpack onto his back. Madison waited awhile until Zach could barely be seen before she loaded up as well and walking out after him knowing what she was getting into.

Sam sat around watching the sci-fi channel eating popcorn. The alien invasion was actually interesting to him. Seeing the crash site had been something he wanted to do. He waited until midnight before packing his bags. He wasn't sure when he'd be back but this was something he wanted to do. And no one could stop him. He walked out confidently beneath the stars.
