Invasion

Chapter 3

*Note, this chapter has another language in it (one that I have made up) and the translations are at the bottom, but it is pretty easy to decipher. If you would prefer the translations in a different place, just let me know*

I was just relaxing in my room when a big crash from outside came. I knew this was the crash of us finally finding our new home. We were saved, but I realized we now couldn't feed off aliens' sorrow. You see, on my home planet, we needed to feed sorrow from other aliens. I know most of the aliens will be happy to find a new home planet. I know humans will feel plenty of sorrow but I have no idea if we can feed from them.

I ran from my room to find my mother, she worked with programming the holograms.

"Mother, we're here on earth. Correct?"

1"*esy Saros. Og dinf esom snamuhs ot yalap hiwth. mi yusb*."

"Okay mom." I started to walk away, but noticed on the big screen, two planks landing on the ground of earth.

"What's that mom?" I questioned pointing at the planks on the screen.

2"*Yeht rae het klanps orf het people ot lawk pu. Taht elub klanp si orf people owh nwat ot narel rou yaws, ubt yeht rae yelaler inebeg tekep repoisen nad sibreamle os ew evahé ingethmos ot defé fof fo. Het def klanp si orf people owh nwat ot evahé esome sinespahp ubt yeht liliwé ualtléléev scros revor. olsa, doogo boj no rouy human.*" My mom never looked up except to say the last part. I could sense she was proud, for once in her life. I look at her.

"Thanks mom, I've been practicing," I ran off to think in my room. How could we go to someone else's planet and feed off them?! I decided to just take a walk. I didn't realize I was following my nose, but I found a girl. She looked around 15. I could sense a lot of sorrow coming off her. If I wanted, I could feed off her for days. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I walked up to her and she didn't even look at me twice. I guess I am one of the more people looking aliens. I looked at her and just smirked. She was watering fake grass.

"Hey, um. What are you doing?" I asked out of curiosity

"Watering the grass, can't you tell? Or have you never heard of laboured work?" She looked at me rudely and rolled her eyes.

"Well, uh, yes actually. I used to clean the house all day. I actually did lots of this 'laboured work' you talk about because I had no one. Judging from you right now, I assume you have no one either. Also, the grass is all fake, Ms." I told her. I could sense a lot of anger and sorrow coming off from her. Then I smiled as if to say it was all ok. She came back with a sassy response.

"Oh, uh, I knew that. I just was cleaning it. It was very dusty from all that dirt the aliens keep flying around because of their ships," She threw the watering pail across the lawn and looked down with an awkward smile.

"Yeah, um, sure," I walked away to hide a smirk while she ran inside. It was weird not having someone cower in fear or call me a freak. She seemed embarrassed because of me. I giggled at the thought of someone being embarrassed in front of me.

I ran all the way back to my room to grab a book that used to cheer me up. It was about a girl who has the saddest life ever. Aliens fed off her as she was locked up, but she managed to escape. Obviously, she didn't escape because this book was written by a namuh, but I changed the ending in my book. I ran back to the girl as she watched a little boy and tied up her tail. I assumed the boy, who looked around 7, was her friend. He also had a small sense of sorrow coming off of him, but it was slowly fading as he played with his other friends. I tapped the girl's shoulder. I gave her the book.
