Ben-

It was rare that you got to take a walk, and take time away from your home life with an excuse. It had already been an hour, but you still had no urge to go home to all of your crying younger siblings. You like kids, but one can only deal with being stuck inside with sticky little hands for so long- without getting cabin fever of course. You hadn't brought your wallet, so you didn't plan to stop anywhere for a random splurge or food, even though you were headed down town.

Surprisingly enough, the boy from Mr. Smoothies- Ben Tennyson did actually text you. You two had begun to text often, and maybe this is bad on your part,,, you tended to respond too quickly. You know that there's this rule to take twice as long to respond as they do. If they take two minutes, you take four. If they take 30, you wait an hour... or whatever. But you were never that type of person, and it's just hard not to text him back. He's really nice to you and kind of funny sometimes. He's also cute, but that's not the point. You couldn't help staring down at your phone as you walked. He wasn't the kind of guy to purposely wait on a text back, but it had been the entire hour of the walk since you sent the last message.

The world was completely tuned out, so you didn't notice the rogue alien barreling down the sidewalk on food... Until it snatched you up.

It dashes out into the street with you under it's... arms. It seemed to have outrun whatever- or whoever- was chasing it. It looks around frantically as you scream and struggle, grumbling to you to shut up. You try to slam your elbow into its face, but it seems to do nothing more than bruise your elbow. However you kept trying.

By it's nervousness, some authority (or the guy you're talking to) is on their way- but you don't want to be some hostage in distress. You continue to fight and scream, to which it covers your lower face with it's silky feeling tentacle-like hand. Your nose and mouth was completely covered- which you did know was probably not what it meant to do. However, your breathing was still restricted. Your mind began to race, barely able to actually get a real thought in until...

You open your mouth as much as you can, then sink your teeth into the smooth and cool flesh of the alien holding you hostage. It lets out a pained yowl, and it's grip on you tightens in shock, but you just bite harder. Suddenly, a bitter and cold liquid seeps out onto your teeth. It makes you want to gag, but you keep biting. It then releases you, and your teeth unlatch from it's now bleeding flesh. It looks down at you in complete horror, before fleeing down the middle of the street. You then collapse to your knees, sucking in deep and pained breaths. Your body begins to shake as you realize what felt like minutes, was only a few seconds.

Three people round the corner as you fall. Ben, a red headed girl, and a much taller guy. Your name leaves Ben in confusion as he rushes over to you. You look up at him with wide eyes, trying to swallow your shellshock.

"What happened!?"

Your mouth gapes open like a fish. "I- It... It grabbed me, and tried to suffocate me. I... I bit it." You choke out with deep breaths, voice breaking as tears flood your eyes. Just then, Ben leaves you, running to catch up with it. The sound of him transforming going off. The taller guy runs right past you, following Ben. The redhead stops, kneeling by your side, her hand placed on your shoulder.

"Are you alright? Did he hurt you at all?" She asks, and genuinely seems worried. However, you know she's probably needed by Ben and... the other guy. You shake your head and try to get to your feet, to which she helps you. You take a deep breath in, calming your thoughts and your nerves.

"They'll need you. I'm... just going to go home."

-

And that's what you did. You walked straight in the door, and ignored two sets of young twins pulling at your clothes for attention. You pushed them out of your room and locked the door, letting yourself fall asleep for a couple of hours. Only to be woken up... to help put your younger siblings to bed. You spent the time after finishing up housework, then homework. In the middle of a math worksheet, your phone buzzes alight.
