Space Cadette

2

10 YEARS AGO

ish sat infront of the TV as her mother prepared breakfast.

Ish was always infront of the TV on sundays to watch her father keep the aliens at bay, she dreamed of being just like him to appear on TV as a hero, to ride on a fighter ship blowing alien space crafts to bits.

He is the most skilled genuine man in the air force making him the best supreme fighter pilot in the world.

The screen switched to a view of ish's father he was in a ship fighting away the aliens.

Ish excitedly bounced in her seat cheering him on.

But suddenly his voice can be heard screaming.

"MOTHER SHIP!, MOTHER SHIP!"

an enormous ship came into view there was too many invaders and all the fighters began to have a difficult time warding them off.

There was just too many when it seemed like the end of human kind
Ish's father rammed straight into the mother ship causing an ominous explosion.

Ish froze, time seemed to have slowed down.

Ishs mother screamed in terror dropping to the ground screeching out in pain.

Ish sat like a stone tears pooling on her eyes.

The invader ships retreated as other fighters dove into the mother ship sacrificing themselves.

The world around ish echoed and blurred, like a bomb ish burst out crying loudly mourning her father's death.

PRESENT

Cadette gasped jolting awake she slowly blinked her eyes and looked around the very dim environment she was in, she rubbed slime away from her eyes and face.

She gagged feeling a tub in her mouth she pulled it out and coughed out a bitter sweet liquid.
She felt an arm around her waist, looking up she saw Leon's face, he was still unconscious.

She threw his arm away from herself and struggled to sit up.

Her jacket was stuck to the ground from the slime. She wiggled her way out of the jacket and looked around her she seemed to be with dozens of other people who where all asleep with tubes in their mouths.

She crawled over the slime covered bodies and found sera.
She pushed the people on top away and pulled sera out tearing away the tube from her mouth. Sera coughed and gasped.

"..c..cadette..?" She slurred out.

Cadette slapped her face a little to get her to wake up.

"Hey.. hey we need to get out of here."
Cadette said shaking her friend awake.

"Hmm? Where the fuck.. where the fuck are we." Sera croaked wiping the slime off her face.

"I dunno.. but this definitely isnt the theater parking lot." Cadette said looking around.

"Hey theres your friend." Cadette pointed at ben.

Sera went over ben doing what cadette did.

"Wheres leon?" Sera asked.

"Hes over there." Cadette pointed.

"Well go get him!" Sera exclaimed.

Cadette crawled to leon and took off the tube from his mouth but he wasnt waking up.
