The Invasion

Chapter 9 - Despair

The supplies are running out, everything is running out. I thought in despair. I had no one to ask for help, no one who could do anything. I felt Blarion trying to intrude in my mind again, but I imagined a sword hacking his head off, and he immediatly stopped trying to speak. We were in this damn safehouse for months already.

6 months since the Alien invasion, and the surface world was nothing like it used to be. Cars had been discarded, and now they had some sort of ship, that glided through the streets. There were no more medicines, they had discarded everything, bringing their own. I actually felt this was worse than the destruction of our civilization. I felt like this was just added insult. We didn't go out anymore, and I was doing my utmost to keep my frustration in line without breaking everything in the house.

Nights was my worst time of the day. Sleeping, I couldn't keep my shields up, and he took advantage of that, sending me dreams, where he'd touch my body, arouse me, make love to me, trying to conquer my heart. He spoke to me in those dreams he knew I couldn't control, telling me how he loved me, how he wanted me, how much he was sorry for destroing everything. And when I woke up, sweating and aroused, for goddess heaven's know what, he'd try again, speaking to me, inside my mind, as if I was stupid enough to believe him.

But now, maybe I had to... Supplies were ending, and I had a clan to feed. I knew, from tv, that everything was back in working order, so, with Zeph's help, I planned to rob a store. It was supreme effort keeping this from Blarion, but I managed it, I was responsible for my people and I had to do what was necessary to survive.

So, on friday, night fall, without flashlight, or any tool to help me besides my weapons, I crept as fast and as silently as I could to the nearest food store, which was just know closing. I hit the starion guarding the shop, making him unconscious. It was quite easy, and I suspected he wasn't one of the soldiers. I got inside, grabbed 3 bags big enough to use as backpack, and 2 baskets, and took everything I needed. Eggs, Milk, rice, potatoes. I was strong enough to take everything luckily. But I heard a suspicious noise, and with enough forwarning, I managed to run into the tree line, hide what I had stolen and prepare myself for a fight. Five soldiers in angus form were sniffing around the starion's inconscious body and one of then looked right at me and opened it's beak to give the alarm sign. Oh, oh, I was fucked. As fast as I could, I took out 5 blades, 3 on one had and two on the other, and threw them with deadly accuracy, Hitting all of them at once.

"Ah, I missed you darling." I whirled around and saw Blarion, to my right, some 10 or 15 meters away from me. I took my sword Kyu out, and looked at him coldly. "Is it not enought the disgusting dreams you send me, now you have to act like you're a human that wants me?"

"But I do want ou." He replayed.

"And you're the one who destroyed my world, everything I loved, and even the man of my life." He winced from my tone and I took the chance, to take up everything I had taken and run away with all the speed I could muster.

I hear him changing to Angus behind me, and I sped up even more. I hear him speaking in my mind, asking me to wait, begging me to let him explain. Explain what?

But when I got to my house, I knew... The shopping fell from my hands and I ran forward, entering the now vacant space. Everything was bare, everything turned over as if a fight had happened. I searched every single room of that house, but there was no one there.

I went outside and Blarion was waiting for me. I unleashead my sword again and went right up to him, and touched his neck with it, in the right position to cut. Our faces were inches away and I could see how my proximity affected him. His yellow eyes were softer than I had ever seen them, and the pupils were enlarging, just a bit, but enought to understand.

"Where... are... they?" I asked growling each word slowly, viciously, sharp enough to cut through diamonds.

"We took them." I moved the blade, making a line of blood flow from his neck.

"To where?"

"To a safe place." I started hitting him, the blade forgotten at my feet, but he was stronger than me, much stronger, and before I knew it, I was lying down in the mossy forest floor, with him on top of me, the position making someone else think we were old lovers, but in fact, his body restraining mine. "Let me go." I told him.

He looked at me with deep satisfaction and his answering "No" was lost when he kissed me, full on in my lips. I tried to fight it, fight him, fight his body, but for the first time My body surged with a lust so strong that I forgot everything except kiss him back.

He let go of me somehow during the kiss, and when we parted our lips, His open yellow eyes were enough reminder for me to hit him, kick him away from me and run to the forest. Now, he had taken really everyone from me....
