~Heler's POV

Every since the fortune began I just have memories of things I don't remember happening before I arrived. I know how to do things and what to do in certain situations even though I don't reallly know how, if that makes sense. I have strong feelings towards people, in the real world the feelings are different. Some memories are good, but at the moment the memories I remember the most are really just of me worrying. I can remember as a child my parents would never come home until the next day. When they did come home they looked drained and fragile like a human. I wouldn't be able to sleep----wondering if they're alright. My parents had or.... have some kind of connection to Fiona. I don't know what, but all I know is I hate Fiona for it. I don't trust her, but in real life I trust her completely. This hate led me to wanting to help the humans escape. It's all a bit confusing to say the least. I don't know if I should follow my real feelings or the feelings given to me in the fortune. Its probably best if I stick the ones provided to me. I want this fortune to turn out accurate.

With the sun rising, I get up and head to check on the others. I just know it's going to be a long day. I can feel it. Anyways, I start waking up Hayden, Madison and Dylan. However, Dylan was not where I left them. The tunnel is still pretty dark with the light from outside. Good thing, I somehow knew to pack a bag with food and a flashlight. I don't necessarily need the flashlight, but the human's eyesight isn't as advanced as us aliens.

"Good morning." Hayden said as he yawns and stretches. My nose flinches from the smell that reached it.

Never have I smelt such a disturbing smell.

I laughed to myself. Guessing Madison can smell it too, she punches Hayden in the gut. He hunches over groaning in pain.

"Hey! What was that for?" Madison reaches to punch him again, but this time he catches her arm. For a moment they stare at each other. I can sense the intense feelings between them, but ignore it. Then he starts playfully attacking her. I can't help but feel my lips grow into a huge grin. I hear footsteps behind me, and I turn around ignoring the scene in front of me. There stands Dylan looking tired, like he didn't get much sleep. He walks over towards me.

"Sorry, I uh had to use the bathroom, yeah because that's what humans do. We use the bathroom." I look at him raising an eyebrow.

"Oookay, great to know." laughing sheepishly.

  I turn towards the playful humans that are enjoying each other's company.

"Guys, lets go. Oh and Hayden I have gum for you in my bag. Yes, aliens chew gum." I said motioning them to follow me.

   The journey through the tunnel begins. With their flashlights we walk through. It's pretty straightforward, it's a one-way tunnel so it's no big adventure. However, the big question is what's at the end of it. Walking through the tunnel we talk about their life on a such thing they call, what is it called again; oh yeah---planet Earth. It's sounds pretty complicated with politics, and what they called diseases, and all these different countries. Though, it's also pretty awesome. It's much more complex but the life experiences are somewhat the same. It's weird that I realized I act more like humans than I do like aliens. I'm the only one I know that sleeps to regain energy, instead of charging down to restart battery or energy whatever you want to call it. Now that I think about it, this only happened once but I got a fever and went to the doctors. They didn't know how that was possible because aliens can't contract illnesses from the human world. It doesn't make sense. I spent a good amount of time asking them questions of human life.

Boy, was I amazed.

"Yeah, life most of the time was good on Earth. How about uhh.." asked Hayden
