Onision Self Insert (Reaper's Creek)

Chapter 14: No More

"Excuse me." a voice came from beyond the darkness created by my own eyes. I opened them. "Hello." said the flight attendant standing next to my aisle seat. I replied "Oh, hi, I... did I do something?" she laughed and answered "No, I was just wondering why you didn't impregnate Julia." I was wide awake now. No words, I had no ability to talk. The flight attendant continued "Was she everything you wanted. Shame about being so far away from her now... I wonder if she'll sleep with Michael next." I couldn't even look at her, my eyes were fixated on the drop down tray in front of me.

I heard a familiar voice laugh near first class. The flight attendant dusted off her vest and walked away as if she didn't just say anything mortifying to me at all. The laugh in the distance continued, but I was so deep in my own thoughts, so physically numb, I couldn't do anything but remain still, almost as if I was in shock, paralyzed. While brief, that woman attacked my most vulnerable place, and turned me upside down as if it was nothing.

By the time the plane landed, I had mostly recovered. I had high anxiety about the laughter I heard while the fight attendant harassed me. Who ever it was would no doubt be gone by the time I got to the front as first class always leaves the plane first.

The plan was a cluttered mess as we tried to get off, a typical routine, everyone crushed together in the long aluminum can, trying to gather their same covering cloths packed in their nearly identical zipper bags smacking each other clumsily as they removed said storage containers from the overhead bins. Upper body strength escapes so many of us.

Walking forward I could see all the seats within my light of sight were empty. It was a relief.Just before getting off the plane I noticed one of the first class bathrooms were open. I could only see the lights surrounding a mirror inside, upon the reflection sat a face, smiling at me. The moment I recognized who it was, I ran.

Laughter from the bathroom exploded after my first few steps, then faded as I got away from the boy, the alien, whoever he really was. It seemed every time I was around a metal roof or housing, he had to follow me.

I came to a complete stop just before stumbling through the exit of my gate. I don't want to live like this. I don't want to keep running. I don't want to keep getting abducted or drugged.

Taking a deep breath I walked back on the plane, ignoring the looks people were giving me as I passed them. I had pushed half these people out of the way in my earlier sprint, now I'm pushing past them again, I felt rude, but my anger made me blind to caring whatsoever.

The boy from special ed class didn't expect me to return, he was still chuckling to himself in the bathroom. The flight attendant who harassed me earlier said "Oh, excuse me!" clearly confused and conflicted by my return to the plane.

Without hesitation I grabbed a fork from the flight attendant food distribution cart and planted it as deep as I could into the neck of the special ed boy.

As soon as the fork when completely in, making contact with the bones in his spine, his eyes went black. He had a look of absolute shock & terror, as if he was a sibling just playing pranks and someone just snapped. But this boy was not my sibling, this boy was not even human.

Immediately behind me I heard a loud smack, it was the flight attendant, she had fallen, her head colliding with the metal cart I just grabbed a fork from. Maybe he was controlling her telepathically? Or maybe I was a nut job and this was all a hallucination. Either way, I didn't want to be around and try and explain any of this.

As the other airline staff members crowded the fallen woman, I looked back to see the alien's human skin facade melting away. How stupid, there was no disguise, no failsafe what began to show itself was just a smaller version of the aliens I encountered in my dreams. Now I definitely had to get out of here.
