In this future we are aware of aliens and their existence is pretty common knowledge however they are still a very new species to the humans. earth has some comunications with other planets aswell. i think that's all you need to know about the world for now... hope you enjoy the story! please follow and vote/ comment. =^w^="

The last thing I remember is being held.....

I can't remember who......or why.......but I felt so safe........so calm and loved........

A voice.....I remember hearing one.....it kept reassuring me telling me it's going to be ok...

????? : "Stay with me now! It's gonna be fine don't worry...I-I've got you!"

Why does he sound so panicked.......

????? : " Gea! Gea! Stay wake! Come on girl Hold on!"

Gea...that's my name but... who is this person holding me...he has such a familiar warmth...

Am I in danger?

I call out to the voice, hoping I could find out what's going on or at least who this person is

Gea: "who are you?"

???? : "come on don't tell me you forgot me. Come on of all people..."

Gea: I'm sorry...

The voice has changed from being worried to calm

???? : " Aww really, you're hurting your old man's feelings you know...remember its Masahiro!"

Gea: "d-dad! I can't believe I didn't recognize it was your voice."

Masahiro: "There we go, now what are you doing...you need to wake up sleepy head."

Gea: "wake up?"

I wake up with a gasp and immediately I notice something isn't right. I'm not in my typical bedroom... and I can't move. Where am I?

I try my best to look around the room but everything is so dark I can barely see anything. After what seems like a long while, a flash of light envelops the room and for the first time I can see clearly.

I finally know where I am. I'm in one of my dad's old laboratories. I've only been here a couple of times but there's no mistaking it. However it's changed a lot. The clean white tiles I was used to seeing has been replaced with a mess of wires all seeming to connect to whatever I'm in. Some tiles are broken and the neatly stacked books on the shelf have all been tossed down. My father always took such good care of his things...why is his lab so messed up? There's glass all over and even though I can't move my neck, looking down I can see there's scorch marks coming from behind me on the floor. There's been a fire and someone stopped it before it got to me.

( the photo that you see is how Gea remembers the labratory)

Suddenly the light turns off again

I covered in darkness again and instead of answers more questions keep popping into my head. I tried my best to make sense of what was going on. it seemed like hours went by...but i couldn't remember anything...

Then my head started hurting. It was like someone was drilling into my head then I remember what happened...

I was running for my life...

It was a warm day when we got the news. It was a day like no other yet I had a feeling in my gut that something bad was going to happen. I was in elementary school at the time so I thought I just forgot my homework or there was going to be a pop quiz so I shrugged it off. The day went by smoothly until I got into history class. Our teacher thought the best way to learn about the world was to see what was going on real time instead of using our usual Digi-books, she borrowed a holo-TV from the classroom next door and switched on the news channel. The news anchor was talking about the usual news that we are all used to seeing. I was half expecting him to start talking about Advancements in technology "will artificial intelligence cause a problem", saving the planet from global warming, "how to use the new recycle robot to make new things", and all the other repetitive things they used to have on years ago. Usually my teacher just takes a bunch of fake or old news stories and tries to quiz us on our actions during these scenarios. Usually they all start with old real situations but then start getting more and more ridiculous. The news man the reaches for his ear piece. His calm and composed face switched to confusion.

This was probably going to be the fake scenario. I thought to myself

News anchor: " I'm sorry but there seems to be a live feed going on. Apparently the president has declared this a national emergency. Please remain calm and listen to the instructions given."

The video feed turns to static for a moment then we see the presidents face. He looks worried and afraid, one could clearly see the sweat forming on his brow. He clears his throat with a cough and speaks.

President: " Due to unforeseen circumstances we have arranged to evacuate everyone from the US to our generous neighbors in Asia. There has been a dispute between one of the nations and we fear a nuclear strike. Please report to your nearest airport with as few belongings as possible. Please remain calm and obey security or else we will have no choice but to use force. Thank you and have a safe trip."

I couldn't believe it at the time, and apparently my teacher was shocked too. This scenario was a little more extreme than the others. The class was silent until one kid raised his hand.

Student 1: "Umm miss. Why did you show us this? It's not really happening rig--"

Before he could finish the intercom started crackling. Soon a hologram of our principle was on each of our desks.

Principle- " All students are to be dismissed at once."

All of the children started to line up in the courtyard waiting to be picked up by their parent. I knew my father had to work late so I, like always, started to looks for my siblings who were in the same school as I.

As I walked through the courtyard, I noticed that all of the parents were in a rush and panicked. Could what we have seen on TV been real? Are we really evacuating? No that's ridiculous. I kept telling myself.

???? : "Over here!!"

I turn around and see my little sister Starlene. She ran towards me and gave me a big hug. She's was around 5 in kindergarten so her class always came out before mine. She had short and curly brown hair and brown eyes.

Starlene: "Geea~ I heard some pawents talking about that- that- we have to go far far away."

Gea : "Don't worry its nothing we're gonna be OK. Now hurry we gotta get home OK."

Starlene : okay...

I turn around and start heading towards my younger brother's class. I try to spot his unmistakable red jacket that he always wears and then I spot him. He, like my sister also has curly brown hair with eyes that are a deep brown. We make our way towards the gate and start heading home.

We get as far as three blocks away from the school when the chaos started.

Cars were crashing.....people were screaming....and there were giant ships above us....
