Bad Omens

Faylen's POV

"100 hundred years ago lived two planets, side by side they aided each other in battles, farming, and protecting their galaxy. They were the El'rians from the planet of El and the Xearians from the planet of Xearius. The two races were both skilled in fighting and they often held fighting contest between the two planets, the champions were ever changing. The planets each had their own royal family, for the El'rians it was King Jaron and Queen Livia, for the Xearians it was King Saldaris and Queen Echo. The Xearians had a prince, his name was Airen. The planet of El did not believe in keeping the royal families they instead decided on good leaders. The next in line family was the Valran's, or say the oldest, Aithlyn. The rest of the four siblings names were Zaine, Hycis, and Adamar. Soon the two races discovered a new source of power within their own planets. They called it Gian, naturally the planet El contained more Gian than Xearius, the El's cared for their planet as if it were one of their own. Unknowing to the El'rians the Xearians were developing weapons using their planet's Gian. The negative intentions of the Xearians caused Xearius to become sick as if a curse was placed upon it. The King and Queen of El noticed their neighboring planets dilemma, and chose to help not knowing that the Xearians were causing it. The El'rians shared their crops and their water, soon the Xearians became greedy, and declared war on the El'rians. The El'rians fought but while caught off guard they stood no chance. Under the directions of the Queen on the battlefield nearing her death, The next in line siblings fled their planet, to find help and a way to defeat the overpowering Xearians. And some still say that to this day the Xearians still look for the four siblings hoping to wipe out the entire race and any other race that defies their rule, who know's they could be looking for you Eldrin............." I said as I was met with a horrified "NOOOOOOOOOOO" from my little brother. "Shhhhhhhh" I replied harshly, "you'll wake mom up". " Toooo late-I'm already up" My mother said tiredly standing in the doorway wearing her baggy sleeping wear, her shirt was a pink tank top, and grey sweatpants and massive bags under her eyes, "Faylen stop scaring your brother and go to bed, you have chores to do in the morning," she said softly. Even in the dark, my mother was beautiful, she had beautiful dark long black hair and bright greenish blue eyes, with soft pale skin and her facial features were so magnificent she looked like a goddess. She was so skinny too, all my friends mother's were not as skinny as mine even though she had two children and a major sweet tooth, which I'd never tell her. I had silver hair that had bluish tint at the ends(cause I dyed the ends blue) and the same colored eyes as my mother, but Eldrin on the other hand, if he wasn't my brother and if he was older I'd probably even think he was cute. I think he got the better half of our parents genes, he had the same dark black hair as my mother and the pale skin and facial features but his eyes were the same shade of hazel as my father's as I was told. I didn't really remember my father,he had died when Eldrin was an infant and I was five, he had gone to fight in the military for our system. But he had gotten killed in an ambush, my mother was never really the same after. She'd always had that special twinkle in her eye whenever my father was around, but after he died it never returned after eight years. I hadn't even noticed but my mother had already walked up to us and placed her hands on the sides of Eldrins face as he was whimpering, "don't let them get me momma" he cried. "I wont, now go to bed sweetheart" my mother comforted him, ",and you go to bed I mean it". "All right" I replied as I laid on my pillow, "but bedtime story first". My mother looked at me in a gruesome way but I just smiled at her, "arg fine" she replied. "So what story do you want" my mother asked, "hmm" Eldrin replied. A thump was heard from the down stairs, Eldrin and I froze but my mother tensed. "W-what was that" Eldrin asked only to be met by "nothing go to bed, if it makes you feel better I'll check" my mother calmly said. Eldrin and I laid back down onto our pillows, "good night" was all my mother said as she kissed our cheeks goodnight. She walked out of the room with such swiftness I blinked, Eldrin turned towards me and hugged me. I was supposed to sleep in the top of the bunk bed that nearly filled our small dusty, wooden room. But the way Eldrin whimpered,that was all it took for me to know he was scared, I laid with him until he was asleep then I too drifted off to sleep.

Eldrin and I were woken up by our mother shaking us and saying, "Eldrin, Faylen get up hurry, meet me in the clearing in the woods", then she walked out of our rooms in a hurry. My mother's energy felt panicked, it was odd she also wore dark clothing.. It made me feel oddly scared and tense, so I listened and made sure Eldrin and I got out of bed and downstairs. We were going to walk outside after we got dressed as quick as we could but then I remembered it had just snowed the past night. It was always colder the day after it snows so we were definitely going to need Jackets. I started back up the stairs when Eldrin stopped me. "Faylen we have go to like momma said" he whined, "I'll be right back" I groaned back. "Come with me if your scared" I said as I continued walking up the stairs. He slowly started walking but as I sped up he ran after me. I walked into our room and a sense of unease swept through me, I walked backwards towards Eldrin but he wasn't there. I flipped around expecting to see Eldrin but it was like he had disappeared. "Eldrin?" I called out, a muffled whimper responded from behind the door. And a man or something else covered in all black appeared from behind the door with Eldrin in is arms. "LET GO OF MY BROTHER" I shouted without thinking, my reply was "Grab her". Before I had time to comprehend what was happening my arms were pinned to my sides and a hand covered my mouth.
