They came in the darkness. And they came with a secret.

We always thought it would be aliens, for centuries humanity has fantasised about the coming of an alien race. But we were so wrong.

It was summer when they came, I remembered waking up and looking up into the sky. And there it was. 

Another earth. 

It wasn't aliens that came, it was us. Humanity. They came through a pocket in space, fleeing their dying universe.

Earth celebrates. But soon a secret is revealed. A secret that leaves humanity shaken to its core.

Within months our earth is overrun. All that remains now is a small group of resistance.

An answer presents itself. A battle is won but the war is lost. A small group of survivors lead a deadly chase across both planets. Humanity's redemption the prize.

My name is Lily, and this is how the world ended.All Rights Reserved

Under the Shadow of the Moon by aryawest

Luna Vis woke up one morning, or rather one night, to the dim light of the moon. It was a day that started like any other, but turned out unlike any other, setting off the chain reaction that set her life ablaze for a second time. For six years she had lived a new normal after her life was uprooted, but now everything was on the cusp of changing again. Almost exactly six years prior, the world as it was had changed entirely for half of the world. And over a century prior to that, the world had burned. The world burned in silver and in gold, and out of the ashes rose a phoenix: a new dawn for civilization. New cities, new ideas. New weapons. New... insurance policies. Now Luna and her friends are learning first hand what being on the front lines of a war is like. Now they are finally learning what it was the government had kept so secret for six years. Now it is all up to them, but more specifically, up to Luna to stop The Eye and the White Sand from ruining everything. Only months away from her sixteenth birthday, she is handed a purpose that may just be worth a sacrifice. Soon the world will be normal... whatever she chooses that to be.

The Green Eyed Monster by SapphireSky_

✔️ Completed ✔️ -A Moon Trilogy Companion Story- Rachel's life ended on a night much like any other. Shadowy men in shadowy uniforms took it away from her in one fell swoop, and she was forced to flee into the night as he home burned to the ground with her family inside. She did her best to keep herself going, but no amount of optimism could have saved her. Only a convenient friend was her salvation, and this same friend helped to stir a hatred and jealously for the human monsters that went about their day without a care in the world while she starved. And she allowed it, welcomed the ill feelings, for her parents had told her much the same before they'd been killed, along with her little brother, Benjamin. But though her parents hadn't made it out alive, Benjamin hadn't really been killed. He silently bided in an enemy base, surrounded by people he soon wanted nothing more than to kill. And though he was young when the fire ended his family, he swore he would never forget. He promised himself every day, until a time when he could live out his goals. He wanted nothing but to exact his revenge, and he let it consume him.

Not Your Ordinary Alien Story by KaylanCallan

Aliens have been here before... one was left behind. Eighteen-year- old Zoe must find him and she doesn't have much time. Along with the alien, a beacon was left on Earth which when activated, opens a portal through which the aliens will return. The extraterrestrials visit Earth to usurp Qi, Earth's vital energy. If the extraterrestrials go too long without Qi, people on the alien planet will die. However, when Qi is extracted from Earth, the weak and elderly of Earth will die.

When Zoe discovers who the alien is, it's a complete game changer because the alien is closer to her than she ever could have imagined. The story takes place in a small town surrounded by forest near the Oregon-California border. Of course it does, after all, the highest concentration of Qi is found in forests where ancient redwoods grow. You might be wondering, what is Qi? In Japan it is called "ki," and in India, "prana"." The ancient Egyptians referred to it as "ka," and the ancient Greeks as "pneuma." In Africa, it's known as "ashe" and in Hawaii as "mana." Qi, Prana, Ki, call it what you will, this energy is the life force itself.

Subjects have been resistant as of yet but perfect candidates. Terra must survive. *** They truly believe all those lies, a fabrication of what they indoctrinate us to think is reality.

They believe in a utopia, a heaven here on Terra following the destruction of Earth. But I am worth more and no one will be taken from me again. My fate was written a long time ago but you still have a choice. Will you join the rebellion?

Earth and humanity were saved, and the little planet to thank for their salvation was named Umbra. Alice is a xenoarchaeologist, her passion in life has always been the study of ancient cultures, and now she has the opportunity to study the most ancient one of them all.
