When Darkeness Breathes...

XIII A Rainbow? (of skins...)

I can not explain my true torture, my true thoughts behind what was happening to me as it was happening. Terror. It invaded every pore, it poured out through every ounce of sweat. Freezing my mind, except for the pain. Invasive. Excruciating. Never ending. And always coming back for more.

Recovered Memory:

It was as I reached puberty that my terror took on a new level.

I remember now, awaking one night, disorientated. I was 15. It was a noise that woke me. Some subtle noise that just did not belong in the dead of night. I could not move, frozen in place. I know that most people would say sleep paralysis, I what say that I wished that was all!

I looked downward, the only part of my body that could move. There was a figure standing on the end of my bed. If you will, picture Yoda, from Star Wars. The proportions and size were perfect, but that was were the similarity ended. The figure was red skinned and if I had to guess, I would say that it was more female in gender. "She" had black, almond shaped eyes. All pupil and unblinking. You could see the entire universe in them. Yet demure in appearance. Very Feminine. She did not have hair, but there was some type of extensions that came out of her head and hung downward. She had a type of wrap around her body.

When I looked at "Her," she glanced down at me. I felt that she was trying to make me feel at peace. I could hear her even as she had no apparent mouth with which to speak. She said, "do not worry. do not be afraid." But I was. That was when I heard again, the noise which had awakened me. From my bedroom door, which was wide open and in view of the hallway, I watched as another Being, this one at least 6 foot tall, emerged from my brothers room. What was it searching for?

It was thin, yellow skinned. Almost reminding me of the waxy green beans I had seen in my youth. It reminded me of the Greys, only taller, with larger heads and larger unblinking eyes. It had no type of clothing, as well as having no type of apparent gender. It looked my way, as I made some type of gasping noise in the recess of my throat. Making myself noticeable to it.

I felt fear, real, terrifying fear. There was something violent, aggressive and very dangerous resounding from this yellow Being. It approached my way. Menacingly. But the red skinned Being held up her hand and told it to "move on". It listened without question.

I felt some of the fear move on. "She" looked back at me and gently padded my legs through the covers. She said, "do not fear. it is ok." And that was the last thing I remembered. Darke into sleep...

But I also realized one thing. That these aliens came in different divisions, though they were of the same species. And I feared them all the more.

That fear was true, because when I realized what these ones were after, I truly realized nothing was ever going to be the same again.
