The people from above

the people from above. Far from home

Months went by as I was sitting next to an actual ALIEN, hidden away in a spacecraft. We where playing little games to help us understand eachother. I've learned that the name of the Azurean is Myrthe, and that it was actually a her. her planet is called Earth, and her species are called 'humans'. Myrthe and I talked about a lot of things. Mainly about what the Azureans where doing on Citerus and why they took our people. Myrthe told me they wanted to inhabit a second planet, so their species would have bigger chances of survival. Myrthe was actually an activist that demonstrated against this and sneaked up into one of the spacecrafts to get a view on what was happening and maybe report it when coming back home. Suddenly, an alarm went on and the spacecraft started shaking and making loud noises. I was scared. The noise and the shaking suddenly stopped with what felt like we crashed. Myrthe told me: "We're here." she sneaked out of the hatch, opened a door, snatched a suit and ran back in. She said: "Put this on. From research on an individual of your species, we know you are vulnerable to carbondioxide." while putting the suit on, I thought about Sia and started crying. Myrthe asked me what was wrong. I told her about what happened to my sister. She put her hand on my shoulder and said she was sorry.

After a while we left the spacecraft. I got a good look of the planets sky. It was light blue with a yellow sun. Myrthe grabbed me by the arm and said: "Don't look into the sun like that! You'll be blind!" she took me away from the spacecraft towards some kind of barricade made of bended rods. There was a hole in it. We stepped through the hole and ran towards some kind of box. She opened it and pushed me in. Then she walked over to the other side and stepped in too. I asked her what it was. She replied with: "This is what we call: "A Car". Put your seatbelt on!" as she started moving the car. I looked around and saw a button in front of me, so I pushed on it. A small hatch opened and lots of things fell out. Among those things was something with two dark transparant discs and a stiff frame, so I put it on my arm. Myrthe looked over to me and said: "What the hell are you doing?" I replied with: "Putting my seatbelt on." she took the object from my arm and grabbed a black rope, pulled it over my body and attached it to the other side of me. In fear, I asked: "What did you do?!" she said: "I put your seatbelt on." confused, I kept staring at the so called 'seat belt' before asking: "why?" she said: "So you won't fly through my windshield when I have to hit the breaks." I looked over to her and asked: "what are breaks?" she responded with an aggressive look in her eyes. I apologized and started looking through the transparant wall in front of me. After a while, the car stopped at a big thing what looked like some kind of shelter made of rocks. I looked over to Myrthe who opened the car and stepped out. I opened the other side of the car just like Myrthe did and wanted to step out too, but got pulled back by those seat belts. Myrthe walked over to me and pressed a button next to where I was sitting. The seatbelts immediately pulled back towards the other side of me, and I could finnaly step out. She pulled me towards the stone objects and searched through her clothing. I started asking: "what is-" but she interrupted me with: "house!" she grabbed a tiny shining thing, pushed it into a hole and twisted it a big opening appeared an she pulled me in. She started yelling words I didn't understand yet. We walked towards a big space inside this house, and a few Azureans where siting there. One of them said: "Look. Myrthe brought an astronaur with her." Myrthe pointed at a short and round Azurean with a patch of fur on its chin and said: "That is Leonard. He is our computer guy." then she pointed at a really tall, but thin Azurean with long fur on its head and the same stiff frame with transparant discs covering its eyes, that was sitting next to Leonard. Myrthe said: " That's Jacob. Our planet guy." in the other corner of the room was an Azurean busy with mixing substances. Myrthe pointed in that direction and said: "that is Sennah. She is our chemist. She's cooking today" Out of curiosity I looked at Myrthe. She said: "Oh, I'm a Biologist." I started to look more confused and she replied with: "difficult words with difficult meanings." then she took my arm and said: "This is Vanjira. He's from Citerus." Jacob walked towards me. He was really tall. He looked me right into the eyes. He placed his hands on the dome and looked in. He said: "Wow! I have never seen a real Alien with my own eyes before!" I said: "You are an Alien." Leonard replied with: "not on this planet, buddy". Jacob continued with looking at me "Look how big he is." did he say: "He's at least 2.3 meters in length!" I said: "I'm not big. My father is big. You are just small." Hearing this' Jacob got really excited and asked: "How big is your dad?!" I raised my arm and pointed towards the ceiling. And I said: "this room is too small." everyone was truely amazed by what I told them. Leonard started asking why I didn't put the spacesuit off. Myrthe explained about the carbondioxide in the air would harm me if I did that.  Sennah seemed to have noticed that Myrthe said this and ran towards a table. She looked towards Jacob and said: "fill the bath" she immediately started reading through some books and grabbing some substances. A couple of hours later, I was escorted to a white hole filled with water. Sennah dropped a little bit of some blue liquid in it and told me to lay down under the water and put the space suit off under water. After I did that she told me to hold my breath for a couple more seconds. She grabbed an hollow piece of rock and told me to inhale what was in it. This was slightly irritating my throat. Sennah told me I could now breath freely without burning my throath. I thanked her. Jacob and Leonard where truely amazed. Jacob mumbled: "Are... Are those.... scales?..." As he grabbed some photo's. He showed me images of outer space and asked me: "can you show me where you're from?" I looked at the pictures and pointed towards the redish orb on one of the pictures. Jacob and Leonard looked at eachother, with Jacob saying: "that's Saggitarius Zèta 24GF9. You're far from home my scaley friend."
