Gustavo visits Chicago's World Fair eager to see the mystifying aliens that fly the windy skies, but when a piece of metal lands in the street, he soon finds there are more dangers within the city than a spaceship colliding with Earth. **** Gustavo isn't the adventuring type but when his uncle invites him to the city to attend the World Fair, he couldn't say no. But he didn't expect to meet an alien named Vera, who like him, never ventured far from home. He also didn't expect to dodge a piece of metal falling from the sky. He continues to tell himself it was just an accident, all will be fine. But the look in Vera's eyes tells him otherwise. And the city underneath the aliens may have more lies than lights, and a falling spaceship is the least of his worries. ** [This story will become free on July 5, 2023] *** 🌟 WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST 🌟 WATTPAD HQ PICK OF THE MONTH [April 2022] 🌟 Featured on the Editor's Pick List April 2022 🌟 Featured on @YA 🌟 Featured on @Mystery 🌟 Featured on @YARomance 🌟 Featured on @ScienceFiction Copyright Vee Lozada Exclusive to W A T T P A D

Those who were taken... They never came back, dragged beneath the waves never to return. Their haunting screams were a symbol of their horrific deaths. Like shadows they lay in wait, the deep blue waters hiding them from view. With sharp claws they attack, Pointed fangs tearing into skin, Eager mouths devouring human flesh. Cally was taken, dragged under the water by one of the vicious creatures. But she was not devoured nor torn apart by ruthless claws--no. She was a captive. ~•~ Water instantly invades her senses. Her eyes sting, her lungs and nose burning. She thrashes, kicks, claws--anything to get away. Her efforts go to waste as her body slowly starts to shut down, the air in her lungs quickly being replaced by sea water. Cally is vaguely aware of arms wrapping around her waist and behind her head before she loses consciousness, submerged in darkness. And so she is taken. Another victim of the mysterious sea. 《Completed》 Subscribe to TheAllieL Patreon for exclusive stories and content not featured on Wattpad and to support future works and book publishing! - Free Subscriber Tier - Allie's Library - Tier 1 - $2/month - Allie's Journal - Tier 2 - $5/month Subscribe here: Patreon.com/TheAllieL
