The Kidogo Girl (On Hold)

Chapter 4

          I’m staring at this creature, my breathing is intensely strong. I’m freaking out and panicking, and I swear I can hear my own heart beat pounding in terror.

          I don’t speak because I’m scared and no words come out and probably because he won’t understand me. But it’s funny because I understood his exact words. Looking at his expression, he looks scared and confused and angry. I twitch my antennas and tilt my head at him, still not saying a word. I also bat my eyes trying not to look harmless.

          He grinds his teeth and walks up to me clenching his fists. I back up and knock over more strange items. “Get out of here!” he yells again, his face turning bright red. “I have no idea what you are, though I am guessing you are from another planet, but get out of here!”

          I have no idea what he means my thinking I’m from another ‘planet’, so I tilt my head again. I then stand up straight. “You can’t tell me what to do!” I yell without thinking. Quickly, I take my hand and cover my mouth. He looks at me, quite shocked probably because he can understand me.

          The creature now walks up to me, extending out his hand towards me. I feel threatened as If he’s going to try and grab me. I back up, but I have nowhere to go. His extends out his fingers and he swings his hand at me and I barley doge it by jumping off the giant shelf thing and I screech, “Leave me alone!” Once I land on the hard ground on my hands and knees. They now feel sore and hurt. I get up and back away from him, my knees a bit wobbly and they tingle.

          The creature gets down on his knees and continues to try and catch me in some kind of see-through cylinder thing as I run on the ground having no idea which way I’m going, or where I’m going. Everything is going to fast until I bump into something hard and fall on the ground.

          I am trapped.

          Getting back up, I look in front of me and I can see my reflection, the kind of refection I see when I look down at the ponds near my home.

          Looking at myself, I look helpless and scared. Why does this thing want me…? I think to myself and slide back down onto the ground and cover my eyes with my arm as I lie down on my back. A brief moan escapes my lips.

          “Hello?” I hear, probably the creature saying as he taps the cylinder thing.

          Removing my arm from my eyes, I sit up and look at him. He lifts the cylinder thing and before I can move, he grabs me in his gigantic hand and I can’t escape his grip. His fingers wrap around my body and I can’t get out.

          “Let me go!” I demand. “I demand to speak to your leader!” I yell trying to struggle out of his grip.

          “Who are you? What are you?” the creature asks me.

          “Me? Well, I am Princess Annie, Princess of the Kidogos, next in line to become the Kidogo ruler!” I snap at him and continue to struggle out of his grip. “Wow, you have one strong grip.” I mumble, loud enough so he can hear.”

          “Are you an alien? You don’t make any sense and you do have antennas.” The creature asks again, still won’t let go of me.

          I shrug. “Well, that depends. I did walk onto your land, lost. I am different from your kind. I do come from another tribe than you do. So I assume I am an alien.” I say.

          The creature tilts his head. “So…um…Annie…” He starts and I nod. “So you came here on foot, sort of, and not from space? You live here on Earth?”
