When the stars fell

When the stars fell: the arrival

*A quick recap*

Samuel returns back home but things turn out to be unexpected he gets grounded by his parents for going to the forest. He hands over the flowers to Mazie and tells her about the children and they both sat wondering in confusion

Everything had cooled down and the party was over. It was bedtime, Samuel felt sorry for going to the forest alone and approached his parents to apologise.After all, they were his parents they forgave him and his mom gave a kiss on his forehead and wished him a good night.

Samuel was ready to go for bed wearing his night wear which was given by his father "woo i love how these rockets are printed on my shirt. I really love it" samuel talked to himself while running hands on the nightwear, he turned off the lights and went off to bed and dozed off snoozing heavily since he was very exhausted.

A quaint feeling came to him as he couldn't sleep well he thought it was because he didn't use the blankets, he stretched his hands to put on the blanket which was kept underneath his legs . He was very sluggish and slept again feeling much comfortable than before.

A sudden voice came on the floor as if something fell Samuel rubbed his eyes and looked down to his bed with his eyes half opened, he saw nothing and as he reached back to sleep he felt strange behind his back, he hesitated a bit, he started to sweat out of fear and slowly turned his head to look behind he couldn't believe his eyes as he saw the same three children whom he saw in the forest sitting on his bed gazing at him without blinking. He was astonished to see their appearance as they had dark eyes like buffaloes and their heads quite larger than a normal human being, their skin was pale and each of them had a rough scar on their head which looked similar like a star, they dressed up pathetically in some animal skin and smelled awful they clearly didn't seem to be humans. Samuel hollered out loud and turned blue out of fear but the children disappeared seemingly. His parents immediately rushed into his room being frightened "What happened sam?! We heard your scream. Did u have a bad dream or something?" father sighed "D-d-ad i-i" Samuel was scared stiff and couldn't say a word after that horrifying sight. His father comforted him by holding him and rubbed his back "son, tell me what did u saw?" Samuel didn't say a word as he was cold feet. Mazie hurried to his room later, afraid, she held on to her mom tight and asked timidly "mommy what's going on?" Her mom made up a story as she didn't wanted her to be afraid . "Sam, we'll talk about it tomorrow honey, do you want Mazie to sleep by your side as a company?" asked his mom gently comforting him along with his dad "sh-sure" he stammered and gluped.

The night went smoothly but dark thoughts revolved around in his head and he couldn't sleep well.

The next morning

Samuel woke up at 11 am but was still weary, he stretched his arms and got out of the bed. He smelt the odour of cookies baked by his mom and hurried to the kitchen "good morning love" his mom accosted him while removing the cookies from the oven "morning" Samuel replied feebly "i know what you have been through... but i can't help you out unless you don't tell me what really happened last night " his mom concerned "It was a horrific incident and it all started because of me, i feel ashamed " he said regrettably "what did you see anyway?" Meddled Mazie taking a spoonful of cereals "I saw the same children sitting beside me" he said in a low voice, Mazie spilled out the cereals from her mouth in surprise "WHAT?!" She exclaimed ,samuel nodded "what children are you two talking about ?" their mom interrupted in doubt "mom, they were really scary to look at and i think they are aliens " he pleaded Mazie and Mom chuckled "Oh dear, you don't believe in Santas how can you think of Aliens?" "i knew you won't believe me but i'm very sure of what i saw last night" Samuel got annoyed and left the Kitchen.

He sat in his room in silence. He had no clue what to think about, the wind was blowing cool and everything was calm, the silence feared him in a way he was still but had a feeling that at some point of time he will see them again. To utilize his time he called over Joey to his place. Joey and him were good friends and also his partner in enjoying wierd hobbies, Joey was a year older than him and loved to read comics.

Joey came over at Samuel's place and had a little chat about last night "Man that sounds creepy" gasped Joey "I know right and i still have this feeling that I'm gonna see them again. I'm quite curious to know who they were." said Samuel rubbing his chin. Joey was curious too "i think they have something to do with you afterall, everything happens for a reason" exclaimed Joey "Nobody knows what the reason can be and i don't think they got something to do with me, these creatures are just stalking me! oh how better it would've been if i wouldn't have gone to the forest" Samuel face palmed "Let's go again" Joey said deliberately "Are you outta you mind or something? Do you want me to get in more trouble after what happened last night?!" Exclaimed Samuel "No, i'm serious and what trouble are you talking about? They did no harm to you, you can't just assume. They really do have something to do with you let's go now!" Joey said while exiting his room and was in a haste "oii what will i answer my parents? I've been dodged by a bullet recently i don't wanna be in dire straits anymore" said Samuel in a concerned manner "Don't worry we'll make up a story and be sure to get back home soon afterall, you're not alone this time" Joey said slyly

Both the lads were on their way to the forest after soliciting with Samuel's parents.
