..It's not real
Or is it?
Autumn Santos never really considered fear part of her vocabulary. I mean, what's to fear, she has a stable loving family, two younger siblings, great friends, and she's in her senior year. What could go wrong?
Except, things change.
There's others out there. And they're not kind nor peaceful. Seranians are from Kaarinstina, a planet and species that has never interfered with Earth, not even knowing we existed like they did. But, after the world's largest leaders find out, and try to end the species before they end us, things go wrong.
Very wrong.
They want revenge.
People hide, flee, just in time.
Except Autumn.
And 1,233 others.
What do the Seranians like the most?
Fear.

I was drowning.
My head hurt.
I've seen in the movies drown, but it was never as painful as this- a slow death killing me inch by inch.
My lungs begged for oxygen, screaming in pain, and I hold on a little longer, the water freezing my skin to numbness.
This is it.
With no choice, I give up, slowly sinking, nothing but pain filling my senses.
"Actually I do. I'm working", I said with no emotion at all. They didn't deserve it. They don't get to know how I have felt through the years without them, I'm happy here.
"Nope, your coming out to dinner away from this dump with your brothers and father", He said whilst looking around in discust. I rolled my eyes at him which he looked pretty shocked at.
"Look Stone, Im not that 6 year old you can just boss around and fuck over anymore, I can take care of myself, Ive been doing that for my whole life so far, so why not the rest, so either order something or get the fuck out", I said to him getting faster and faster as I spoke. The boys gasped when I swore at Stone.
He, on the other hand, looked furious.
Matilda is 16 years old, with 5 older brother, 5 terrifying older brothers in who she hates with a passion.
They left her to deal with their father wrath, to live their own lives far away. She now lives alone, in a dangerous and dirty neighbourhood, but she doesn't care, as long as she is far away from those she is suppose to call family.
But when they all turn up for Christmas, hoping for happy times and warm hugs, she is instilled with fear and pure anger.
Will she accept them, or will they stop trying?
She couldn't care less, she was always the forgotten child.
