I looked around in confusion "what do you mean?" John got closer to Amy and me "something feels... off..." as the wind whistled as it picked up speed suddenly, I felt something was very off. Right in the middle of the cleared path blue sparks appeared as ripples, as I watched the blue sparks dancing in disbelief i felt a sight burn on my neck where my birthmark was. I looked over to John and Amy who seemed surprised, confused, and other emotions on there faces that I couldn't make out. Amy looked at me and said "ok, now I believe you!" John looked at me "this isn't some kind of trick right?" He said laughing nervously, I shook my head no "well that's great" John said looking back at the blue light, i looked back at it to see the blue sparks becoming strings of light attaching together to make one big string of light. The string of light broke into two spreading apart to Make a portal. "I think we should hide!" I screamed, Amy nodded and we all hid behind the trees. I could hear electric like sounds then heard what sounded like a hover bike of some sort. I looked over the the other tree where Amy was hiding and saw fear spread across her face. The electric like sounds became lower until it came to a sudden stop, as it did there was another rush of hot air. I peeked from behind the tree to see a 7 foot alien. It's skin was dark purple with one eye, it's cheeks were flushed with a bright red. On each side of its head there were 2 spike like things that curved around its head. As I traveled down the body I noticed that the creature had only four fingers and a tail what had the same like spikes on it. it wore what looked like a plain white Tank top on, my eyes traveled down to the feet to see the strange looking spikes growing out of its ankles and looked as if it walked on its tippy toes, that's if it had toes. I made a small gasp and hid behind the tree again, that was an actual alien! I heard the Aliens footsteps as it softly crushed the grass under it. I looked back to see Amy and John gone, the basters left me! I felt frustration swell up in my stomach, but fear took over as i heard what sounded like the strange spikes from the creatures tail drag along the ground. Instead of running my Curiosity got the better of me and I looked back to stare face to face at the alien. I smiled a bit then took off running but Got tripped by the creatures tail grabbing my ankle dragging me to it, I started screaming and trying desperately to get away but the grip got tighter and I was face to face with the creature again. Only this time I was upside down. I stared strait into its golden eye until it spoke "i know you can't understand me but calm yourself" the voice sounded like a female. I was afraid but kinda confused by that they just said. I looked behind them to see a black-blue-and-purple bike parked. I looked back to the creature "s-so... are y-y-you going to kidnap m-me?" I asked my voice low and shaky. The alien rolled it eye as if it was annoyed "why does every- wait...." it's eye looked at me sharply "you can understand me? And speak my language?" I felt a shiver run up my spine as she eyed me "y-yes?" I said my voice cracking a bit. she looked away, or was it a he? I wasn't sure, they looked away for a sec then look back at me "well then you don't mind telling me-" she jerked me with her tail to the area where the meteor was "-where exactly the meteor here is now, and how the humans were able to make it seem like the ground was untouched" I shrugged "I- I don't know..." I looked at them then reluctantly asked "I... how do you know that there was a meteor here?" the alien looked at me, there pupils dilated for a moment then went for normal then they sighed "because it was a shipping, not a meteor. It was made to look like it was one..." I became confused then asked another question "why?" There expression changed from annoyance to anger "can you please answer one of my questions?" I shrugged again "I don't know, I found it the other day then ran away then I saw people in black suits come to check it out, That's all I know I swear" the alien was silent then spoke "did you know them?" I shook my head no, more silence. "Have you heard about them" I thought for a moment then shook my head again "unless you count that one time a kid in my class talked about how there were people who steals important things from the government" the alien seem confused then shook its head "I- no, that's not important" they looked at me right in the eyes as if it was looking into my soul, I stared back feeling nervous then I spoke "um... do you have a... name?" They looked away for a moment then spoke "tell me yours first, then I'll tell you mine" I nodded "Shara?" My answer sounded more like a question, it looked at me then sighed and mumbled "sardonyx" I silently nodded and asked "it's it ok if you... put me down?" Sardonyx started at me then nodded slightly letting go of me, I fell head first into the ground and landed on my back "Ow!" I stood up and rubbed my neck "thanks?" I said, again sounding more like a question. Sardonyx grabbed me by my arm with there tail and pulled me towards them "when you found the astroid did you see anything strange in it?" I looked at the ground and nodded "what happened when you saw it?" I looked up at sardonyx, I started to get scared and freaked a little. I replied with I shaky voice "I... may or my not... accidentally touched it?" I nervously laughed. Sardonyx looked wide eye, there tail loosing its grip on my arm "I... how long had it been sense you had contact with it?" She asked, she sounded nervous and a little angry. "Uh... 24 hours ago..?" Sardonyx looked surprised then mumbled to herself "if I'm correct you should have died within 10 human hours..." I gasped by what they said "died?! Was-Was that poison?!" I asked afraid. sardonyx slid her finger down her weird like spikes then spoke "well... most alien life is affected by it but there are a few that can touch it and have no affects...." I stared at Sardonyx "there's symptoms? What kind of symptoms??" I asked, she shrugged "well there's a drastic change in skin color, lots of mood swings, swelling in the area it affected, sickness, dizziness, and sometimes a change in the body temperature." I looked down at my skin "uhhhhhhh..... how far apart are the symptoms?" Sardonyx shrugged "I'm not sure, I don't get affected by it" I looked at her with panic in my face "what if I told you my body absorbed it?" Sardonyx paused for a sec "...absorbed?" I nodded "uhhhhhh..... I don't know, ever heard anything like that..." laughed nervously and said sarcastically "that's great!" I basically just had a panic attack right then and there "No idea?! Haven't herd of it?! That's fine! Reallllyyyy fine!" I started laughing more, Sardonyx stared at me then asked herself "is this how humans act all the time?" My laughing turned into screaming "IM GOING TO DIE!" I took a deep breath "no no no, think positively shara, positive!" I took a few deep breaths trying to let all of the stress and fear out
I felt Sardonyx put there tail on my shoulder "if ya want, I could take you somewhere to see how it'll affect you. Plus my bro will be pissed if he finds out that a human absorbed his stuff" I looked at Sardonyx as she walked to the bike "Does that mean-!" Sardonyx looked at me and smiled "yep, your leaving earth" I gasped, going away from earth sounds amazing... and scary.
