Galactic Girl (PG)

~ another prompt for a book about an alien ~

Running through my streets was quite foreign. We could fly after all.

I should've taken that spaceship, it would've saved me at least five minutes of running time. Maybe five minutes is I would've needed.

But no, I chose to jump out of the safety of my spaceship and run towards my staff of power.

I groaned as I reached the staff, an explosion knocking me off my feet, causing me to skid across the muddy ground.

The stinging on my knees and arms meant I was injured but I couldn't think about that.

Swinging my body around, I stand up and continue running, holding my staff in both hands.

A distant scream echoed through my ears. How'd did it come to this?

A planet brought to its knees by an unknown overlord.

"Desireealosomg!" I paused when my full name was shouted.
I knew that voice.

I was silently glad I was wearing my tunic pants and corset, it was easier to fight in than a floor length dress and heels.

"It's Desiree" I corrected, flinging my body into a fighting stance.
The person smirked and straightened their spine, their boots tapped in the mud.

Ever so slowly my eyes grazed up from the mud on their boots to the designer tux and to the face of the overlord.
His eyes burned with the embers of hate along with his auburn hair, a trait some Callanore's share.

"How are you Donre?" I asked suddenly very aware of how thick the air was around us.

"Oh I'm splendid now that the king and queen are dead" he snickered. My heart sank slightly.
They were very fair rulers, they didn't deserve that.

"So you're here to kill me?" My question was answered by the flame licking in his eyes.
Not waiting I flicked my staff around like a helicopter and shot an orb at him.

The orb was blocked by a force field.
I didn't know he could do that!

"How-''

"-not him. Me" a new voice joined us but no body.
Less than two seconds later, a body of a seven foot tall amazon styled woman with a silver chest plate and a chain skirt appeared. She was from the planet Erana. The planet known for warrior women.

"You teamed up with Erana?" I said shocked. He shrugged and dusted off his suit, the field disappearing.

Tears threatened to escape but I wouldn't permit them. I will not cry over this.

In the distance, the sirens blared and citizens screamed in agony.

"Give me the staff Desireealosomg!" He shouted.

"Never!" I swung the staff in the shape of the infinity sign before pushing it forward with my free hand.

The energy amplified and pushed back the Erana warrior and Donre.

I didn't waste a second, I sprinted towards the car park which had two ships still parked and looking un-damaged.

An irritated scream followed by loud footsteps reminded me I was on a time schedule. I had to get off this planet. Now.

I slid over the bonnet of the purple ship and ripped open the door, sliding into the driver seat.
No keys?!

Cursing I look up from the steering wheel and see the Erana warrior at the passenger door. I scream and dive out of the door as she used her strength to squash the ships passenger door off.
