"Wait, I don't understand. You're telling me too many weird things," Shawn said, then he rose and added, "Can you explain it one at a time? —and please go straight to the point."
"We don't have time. It's almost dawn, and soon, when they wake up, they'll slaughter us both. My time here is nearly over. Whether I like it or not, they will perform the experiment on me again, and you will be tested before they eat your flesh."
"How can we get out of here?" Shawn asked, gripping the rusty metal bars as they began to move.
"I'll tell you now. I'm already done with my preparations to your body. I really like it and I want to taste more and more to infinite time. You taste good, but my time has ended. I have no choice. At least I've tasted the warmth of a human body. Now I understand why humans can reproduce such beautiful offspring. I wish we could do the same as you," Zerath replied with a seductive look, illuminated from the flashlight.
Shawn smirked in disgust. "Eh, but the problem is you're an alien. You don't have sex organs."
Zerath pressed her finger into her hip, wounding her thick, rough, greasy skin. She revealed something with a needle. "This is the remaining syringe. It has the power to last for two hours," she said, handing Shawn a green bottle. "Drink this mutagen when I give the signal. Its effect only lasts for two and a half hours, but don't wait for the 30-minute extension before it expires. We need to hurry and explore your world. Remember when we pass through that circular door. Don't speak unless it's absolutely necessary. The guards are robots. They can detect even the slightest vibration—especially from Earthlings. They are only sensitive to the ordinary humans. You are like me now. I am wanting you more."
A deep sigh with a little gross shaped the expression of Shawn.
"Can I take this syringe to you now?"
Shawn nodded with approval.
Then she began injecting Shawn—two in his arms and two in his feet. Zerath did the same. She then used the green element to melt the metal bars in the box room. Afterward, they moved forward and became invisible to the guards. They couldn't smell Shawn because his body was now contaminated with the rancid odor of an alien.
When they passed through the circular door, Zerath signaled Shawn to drink the mutagen.
The robot guards didn't notice them because they were now invisible. They walked further until they reached a room with two large, floating monitors, each about three meters wide. Zerath touched a green button beside the red power button, and the planet Earth appeared on the screen. Shawn saw a peaceful, beautiful world—green forests, clear streams, and waterfalls. It looked like paradise, with creatures living happily in a simple world. Birds flew freely. But the sad part was that there was no technology at that time.
"Our predictions came true," Zerath whispered. "We predicted that one day someone would invent a flying and floating object, and you already know that. Look at your world now. It's too dark. We would want to annihilate earth, because we want to restore it. People are cruel. Every day your people continue to destroy the planet. They care less of the future generations. Unlike us, we preserve our kin the way we could."
