I told Tom to turn it on and countdown before he blasted off so it would sound cool. When he got to one you could hear yelling outside then the door opened. It was too late we couldn't do anything, if we couldn't stop this spaceship we could get into space with no oxygen. I couldn't get up with the pressure of gravity pulling me down.
Then I heard a man scream right before the door shut. Tom looked over at me and Jungkook, he gave us his what just happened look. I spinner the chair around to see the head chief of the clan.
"I have always wanted to see space but our masters told us not to," the chief said," that man was one of our masters, I was next to the door when he opened it so I closed it on his hand."
Tom looked less worried now then when he saw the chief but I knew what he was thinking. So I did what Tom didn't want to do himself.
"Who is your master?" I asked.
"Some people call him Space others call him Death. No one has ever seen him and lived," he said.
The chief went over to the nearest seat and sat down. He moved around in his chair feeling how comfy it was.
"Back in my day, around 2879, chairs used to be real comfy and I thought nothing could get better than that. I learn now that I stand corrected."
Everyone laughed, we all knew how chairs felt compared to these. Chairs at home felt like you were sleeping on a thousand blankets. This felt like I was sitting on air.
Then it all went south, there was a scream from behind us. I turned around to see Eliza, she opened the door. I felt all the air around me get sucked out, the air in my body was the same. I flew got sucked out into space, I looked at the spaceship one more time before I closed my eyes.
I woke up surrounded by people looking down on me. The one right above me shot me with his gun, I then fell back asleep.
The next time I woke up I was in a cell. There was a guard on the other side of the bar. He looked at me and threw me an apple. I decided not to take it, they might have poisoned it. An hour later the guard looked at me again but this time he just shot me.
I woke up one more tine in a big room. On a chair in front of me was a man. He looked down at me with his big red eyes, I felt like looking back even though he was so scary looking. He was wearing a black suit with black hair. He had a shaved beard and a moustache.
"Who are yo..." I got out before he interrupted me.
"Space," he said with a deep booming voice.
"How did I.."
"TALK LATER, BUSINESS NOW. I have been watching you since the day you were born. You have such a great mind like your father, oops forgot, you don't know who your father is. Your father was a great man who worked in this business of mine. You could say he was a hero of space. Have you ever wondered how the sun keeps it grip on you, me. Why space doesn't have air in it, me. How Earth has gravity, me. Have you ever wondered how the planet sucked you in, how you got off that planet without trouble, how you didn't even die out there, all me. Now time for business, do you want to join me and my hope for the future."
"I just want to get back to my friends."
"How about you sleep on it," he pulled out his gun and aimed it at me. That is when it happened, the gaurd that held me in the cell shot Space. He fell onto the ground with a big thud.
The guard came over to me and helped me up. I looked at him and saw that he was the chief.
"When I saw Eliza at the door I knew what was going to happen. I have worked in this business for over fifty years so I know all its tricks. I put on my space suit and buckled myself with the backup buckle. I waited until Space and his crew picked up the spaceship, I knew he would never leave it behind. I snuck out of the spaceship and killed a guard with the gun I brought. I took his suit and went looking for you. I also knew that Space only let the guard into the room when he is talking to the prisoner, then this happened."
I heard someone knock on the door. Then the chief ran to the door with his gun. Space got up and pulled out his gun but this one looked different. He aimed it at the chief and fired. Cheif must have expected it because he jumped out of the way fast. A man ran into the room and got shot by someone behind him. I saw Tom with a gun aiming around. Space looked at the chief and said," Should you introduce yourself to your son here."
Tom looked at the chief like he already knew. The chief looked at me with his blue eyes and said,"Well you know now, I'm your real father."
Space looked at me and aimed his gun at me. Chief looked at Space then me then Space then Tom. Tom knew what that look meant, he dropped his weapon and so did chief. Space smiled and was about to say something but a boom interrupted him.
A man ran in and screamed," THEY HAVE FOUND US SIR!!!!!"
The chief smiled,"Checkmate."
Space ran out of the room and whispered something to the man. He pulled out his gun and aimed it at chief. Tom behind him aimed it at the man. Chief put his hands up and rolled to the right. Tom missed by inches and the man jumped out of the way just in case. Chief picked up his gun and shot the man in the head.
They both looked at me and gave me a hurry up look. They both ran out of the room, and I followed.
