Brendan woke up to the hearing of screeching sounds from afar, he had been hanging in chains for a long time and had fallen asleep, thrice. He regrets trusting Thompson for his words and now he is going to be killed for it. That's what happens when one lets their emotions get the better of them. “So they left you behind, why?” Omini asked. “They think I'm dead. So it doesn't matter if you kill me now.” Brendan replies, promptly. “I'm not going to kill you, death will be too easy for a punishment.” Omini approaches with his long fingers hovering around Brendan’s neckline. “I will make sure you suffer and beg for death to come.”Brendan felt a lump go down his throat and cold sweat forming on his forehead, but he refused to show his fears in front of his enemy. “How did you learn how to speak human language?”“We adapted. It was very easy since we are more intelligent than your kind, more advanced in technology and every mutation, able to understand hundreds of languages.” Omini boa

Chapter 14: The Alien KingSonia hears a knock on her door while preparing breakfast. She wasn't expecting anyone since she just got a house in Texas, very close to Mrs Omar's house. After what happened, she took Brendan’s mother as her own mother and visited her frequently to help with the basic house chores. She walks up to the door and when she opens it, she is surprised and happy to see her old man. “Dad? What a surprise.”Thompson furrows his eyebrows as he stands up. He groans while massaging his temples, feeling severe pains at the side of his head. “What the…” “Rise and shine.” Brendan looks at him with wide eyes. The spaceship was on autopilot so he came to where Thompson sat and tapped his shoulders. “What was that for?” Thompson shrugged his shoulders. “What?” Brendan asked, and for some reason, he felt the urge to laugh. “Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You f*king smacked me by the head back there.” Thompson complained.“Oh, that. What were you e

Sonia boarded a taxi to go to Mrs Omar’s house. She silently sobbed, burying her face between her palms. Although her back hurt, she dared not to raise her eyes, lest the driver notice her and think she was some kind of a depressed girl or worse, that she had been abused. After she came down from the car, she put on a shade to cover her red eyes from onlookers patrolling the street. The view of little children playing by the field and their parents watching from a distance, holding hands. For Sonia, it brought back memories of her third birthday celebration. It was the best summer she had ever had. Her school friends came over and they played in the fields near her house while her parents and the adults talked. Her grandparents were also there to support her.Sonia's heart began to pound loudly behind her chest as she glanced ahead of the street. She could see Mrs. Omar's house about twenty steps away, and she started to consider how she could tell her why she had returned. However

A DAY AFTER SONIA'S DISAPPEARANCE SOMEWHERE IN ATLANTA Drummond walks into the detainment quarters where he has been holding Sonia captive. The room has a transparent-looking wall constructed with futuristic surveillance devices that prevents anyone from escaping. The facility is situated in the middle of an island, which makes it impossible for anyone to escape. “Hello, Sonia. How are you coping? I made sure everything you need is available.” Drummond smiled. "Just let me go! What do you want from me?" Sonia yells back and slams her fists against the glass wall. "Nothing really. Just that your father has been proving stubborn lately. Anyway, I am hoping you could help me persuade him to..." "Never! I will never help you with your evil plans. You are going to pay for all the lives you've destroyed." Despite Sonia's objections, Drummond grins cynically and bursts into laughter like a crazy person. "You will, eventually. I have so much in store for you and your friends." Drum
