1. That Night (Bella Goth)

"Pollination Technician 9, she's awake, she's awake!"

"Get her out of here!"

I could still hear the voices, even two years after the abduction. The event would still bring me nightmares. Every night was one and the same. I would wake up with my eyes shot open, my whole body covered in sweat, my lungs gasping for fresh air.

And tonight, it wasn't any different.

Even the tight grasp of my husband, Mortimer, didn't make me feel safe enough. What if they attempted to break into our house? Wasn't home supposed to be the safest place in the entire universe of the human being? It certainly didn't seem so.

I had to check on my kids. What if they had been abducted at night? It could happen. The aliens, I was sure, were still after me, chasing me for escaping the crashed UFO in Strangetown. I had to make sure they wouldn't touch my family. I had to fight for them.

Stepping quietly into the removated attic of the Goth manor, I heard snoring. Good. Madeleine and Maximilian were asleep. They were the two sweethearts of the family. Despite their alien descendant, Mortimer and the kids loved them endlessly. Their background history was a little bit different. When I was still in the UFO, I was raped. Imagine this - an alien to rape one of his victims. By the time I had come back home, my baby bump was showing. I was grateful my family supported me throughout the pregnancy. And soon the twins were born.

That night had been the worst night of my life, yet it had given me two more miracles, two more bundles of joy who had showed me how bad things could change your life for the best sometimes.
