Life After Earth

Chapter five (that's Genesis pic)

I expected the night to fly but it crawled instead. I was getting hotter by the minute. I thought that maybe being in a space ship was triggering all this feelings. I took some painkillers that Myles had left me but it was no use. So I decided to go to Myles and seek help from him.

I expected the hallways to be dark but they were brightly lit. If I could recall, Myles told me that his room was to my left and that is where I headed. I knocked at the door but there was no response. I tried my luck again and this time, my knock was received by a gruff voice inviting me in.

I entered the dark room and my foot was greeted by an object laying on the ground. I fell down face first. The lights were switched on and I felt myself being helped up.

"Myles, if you keep leaving things laying around you might break your neck! "I scolded him.

"Myles?! I think your greatly mistaken and your the one who is most likely to break your neck. "The voice answered.

Then it hit me. This was not Myles, it was Alcander. This is a cruel joke that Myles is playing on me. Suddenly I started chocking. I was suffocating. My vision went blank and I was enveloped in a realm of darkness.

Myles' P. O. V

I was woken up by a bang at the door in the middle of the night. If it was Aisling then she had a lot of nerve. Then I remembered, I had told her that my room was on the left instead of directly opposite. The one on the left belonged to Alcander! I was in big trouble.

"Myles! Open up, I don't have all night! "

I opened the door and I was met by Alcander's glare with Aisling on his arms.

Did you give Aisling a heart attack? "I asked him.

"Hell yeah! What were you thinking sending her to my room? "

"I made an honest mistake. But what did you do to her? "

"I don't know! She tripped, I helped her up, she thought it was you then she realized it wasn't and... "

"She got a panick attack! So what does that have to do with me? "

"Well, she is more comfortable around you, so I would suggest you help me take her to the sanatorium! "

"Alright! Let us go. "

We arrived at the sanatorium and we hooked up Aisling to the machines. Aisling was burning up. Her body started shaking violently and foam started forming on her mouth.

"Pass me the I. V. I have already put in the drugs." Alcander ordered me.

"You must have given her a fright to make her pass out like that. This is legendary. "I said as I handed him the I. V.

"I'm only worried about her sister, she will kill me. "

"You are worried about her sister and not her life? You are so messed up! "

"Shut up! You are not helping me in any way!"

I did as Alcander said. We waited for Aisling to wake up and just when we were loosing hope, Ailsing's eyes fluttered open.

Ailsing's P. O. V

I woke up and I felt my brain trying to bang its way out of my head. As my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, I caught Myles and Alcander looking at me with wide eyes. My heart started beating fast and the monitor I was hooked up with made loud beeping noise.

"Myles! Wewe ni mjinga! Kama sio wewe singekuwa hapa. Msichana huyu hana nguvu na hana maana kwangu. "(Myles! You are so stupid! If it wasn't for you I would not have been here. This girl has no strength and she is of no use to me.)

"Alcander, jisikize. Ni baba pekee yake....."(Alcander, listen to yourself. It is only father....)

"Baba makalio yangu! Kuanzia leo, sitaki kumwona aidha nitamuua! "(Father my ass! Starting today, I don't want to see her otherwise I will kill her.)

As much as I pretended not to hear any of that, I was hurt. They spoke in a different language thinking that I wouldn't understand but I did. So I put my escape plan in action since Genesis being alive is somehow revealed to be a hoax!
