On the twelfth floor where Ling, Trisha, Murphy and Iva were still contemplating on what to do next, they heard the explosion of the chopper on the rooftop and at once Murphy became more worried than he once was. His mind went straight to think about his sister as fear gripped him, causing him to think that she had died in the explosion.

“Murphy, no,” Iva grabbed him as he was about to run out the room to the top of the building. Tears had filled his eyes already and it was nothing unusual. “You are still alive because you chose to stay with us, so don’t jump into their den, only be killed. Control your emotions.

“No… let go of me.” Murphy pushed her, as he ran out of the room but Ling pursued him at once, he did not want him to die like his sister as they had suspected.

Still running up the stairs, bullets were shot from above, it was the captain and the men he took with him into the building first. They shot the gun because they felt it was the aliens heading up there.

    Meanwhile, Trisha had been listening to all they said even though her mind hasn’t aligned with it, but from what was heard, she left like there was hope for them, so she left the chair she was sitting and came to look through the window because the sight alone might give her a suggestion on what is to be done.What she saw amazed her so much that she had to put her head out of the window,looking left and right towards the sides of the buildings because she might see something that would help him leading down through the window.Well, Murphy had already checked out for this same thing which she was checking out for and none was found, so she could not see any too. But that did not stop her from thinking of another means for them to leave the office.“This is our way out.” Trisha said with so much confidence as she looked around the room.The others did not really bother about what she said, what they were concerned about was what she was going to do, so they stayed calm looking at her

    Nassor was about to follow suit when Lisa held him by the wrist, “No, don’t go.” And that made him know how scared she was to be alone, therefore, he stuck her, as they kept shooting the aliens.Stan took the stairs as he pressed forward, shooting with both guns he had picked, he was not aiming as he shot so that made the aliens take cover because the bullets were flying out rapidly and killing as many that were hit by it. If it were to be the same type of guns used by the soldiers, then they would not be afraid of getting hit by the bullets.Since the aliens were afraid of getting hurt, it was easy for him to get to the sixth floor, but his getting there now made the remaining aliens to divide again because their targets were no longer on one floor level. They had to attack Stan on one end and also attack Lisa and Nassor on the other end.Inside the office, Trisha was still thinking seriously on what to do in order for them to climb out of the building. A lot of time had passed by al

    “Chelsea!!” Murphy cried as he dropped the gun and rushed her because she was the one that was hit by the alien on the abdomen. Ling and Stan also followed suit because they had to help in whatever way they could to ensure that she didn't die as a result of the wound.Nassor and Lisa that were still downstairs also rushed up to help even though they hadn't heard that name before nor did they know Murphy who had called the name.“Stay with me, please. Don’t go….” Murphy was crying as he held her on his lap even as he put pressure on the wound to stop the blood.Iva also helped in getting something to stop the bleeding with, as she used it to cover that wound. Ling and Stan looked around for a first aid kit, even Nassor and Lisa that had just met them got busy all towards saving Chelsea’s life. But Trisha did not make any move to help her life. The sight brought back the memory of Rudo to her mind. She could herself trying to save his life but still lost him. Tears began to flow from h

    Getting to the sixth floor, Iva chose to settle there as she sat at a corner and began to weep, the tears that flowed from her eyes was worse than that of Murphy, this showed that despite her attempt to play hard, she still had a softer heart as a lady than Murphy.Trisha was surprised to see her shedding tears bitterly, it was totally a different mood from the one she had walked out on them with. None of them could ever imagine that the young lady playing could shed such tears.Seeing her like that, Trisha did not jump into asking her what the matter was, instead she sat beside her and in a sorrowful mood as if she knew what was causing her tears.Lisa joined them there, but she was not the type of person that would take over every little thing without knowing its root, so she first sat on the other hand side, crossed her arm over Iva’s shoulder and then asked politely. “What is it my dear?” Iva was so shocked to hear someone she didn't know speak to her in such a calm and gentle ma

    Instantly at the sound of that scream, they all looked to themselves because each was convinced that that voice belonged to a human and not aliens, whereas, they've not heard the aliens speak what they could understand, so there was no reason to doubt what they.Therefore all seven of them headed down to see who was shouting for help.Coming to the fifth floor, they could find the three surviving soldiers that had pretended to be dead. The soldiers were in bad conditions, so they helped them up from the spot they were into a room with the space to tend to their wounds.While treating in the best way they could, the captain's mind was still on the mission of bringing the Ling, Trisha and Nassor to the white house. So he said, "Thank God you are all here.""What do you mean?" Nassor asked him because he didn't get what he meant at first and this was because he wasn't aware that their coming there was because of Trisha and Ling.Well, Ling and Trisha who understood what he was talking ab

    Stan Gibson, Murphy Herbert, Ling Tingzhe, Nassor Dimka, Trisha Graham, Iva Simmons and Lisa Perry were together in an abandoned house. Well, the house does not really look abandoned as supposed, it was more like a place where the owner had died a few days ago, probably due to an alien attack in a place where he or she wasn't supposed to be. Therefore everything in the house was still working. In short, they had made dinner there and were about to eat, when they heard a journalist reporting since the television was turned on.The report got their attention that they paid attention to hear what it was about. The speech was still kind of focused on finding Ling, Trisha and Nassor even though the government were also taking into consideration the welfare of the entire country, as they advised the citizens to stay off the streets until they have figured a way to kill those aliens and drive them back to the space where they came from.Still on the news, Jarrod West came on stage as he spok

    Well, even with the strange suspicious looks on the eyes of Trisha, Lisa, Iva and Nassor, Ling still did not answer them, instead he walked away from the table, touching the bracelet softly as he began to talk, thereby implying that it was a call from someone which none of the others knew he was still in contact with someone aside them. "Hello dad," he whispered, as there was no need for him to speak out loud, even though that made them more suspicious. So long as he was going to explain to them afterwards, he had no problems with that. Mr Ming-húa answered, "Hey son, I have been trying to reach for days. What happened? What went wrong with the transmitter?" "Nothing, probably lack of network. I was somewhere really bad at receiving services, but I am okay now." "Yeah, I guess. Heard you are with this amazing kid from the academy who could kill those aliens." "Yes, dad. He's really a good person and I'd like you to meet him someday, maybe when all this is over." Ling was glad to s

    Well, Stan remember what Adoth said to him about needing both Ling Tingzhe and Trisha Graham, and also he recalled what they've both done for him, in fact he recalled all that they've been through within the short period of this invasion including how their friendship had grown amongst others, so he was not going to let that little misunderstanding come in between all that, and force him to take side or blame anyone. He nodded his head, signaling Ling to go ahead with explaining himself. "Really?" Trisha was surprised because she didn't expect him to expect anything more especially after Ling confirmed her confessions to be true. Well, she wasn't also implying that Ling picked sides, all she wanted was that he tells him to put away the bracelet and they continue. She kind of knew that Stan would not tell him to put it away after hearing his explanation. The real thing here was that she cared so much about herself and not being tracked by her father and those working for him. "Yes, T

    The news of the aliens evacuation was nothing to be hidden as all radio and television stations carried it across the globe. Nations began to rebuild their structures which were destroyed by the aliens, and the world kept mentioning one name, Stan Gibson, hero of the world, because he was at the fore front of every battle against the aliens. The leaders of China, America, Russia, United Kingdom and other nations which he fought besides, had no option than to sing his praise along with the praises of his team Ling Tingzhe, Nassor Dimka and Trisha Graham. The war against aliens made the whole world to realise that humans are the same irrespective of their race and status and could be able to achieve anything they set their minds towards.It was no longer a wonder to the world how a low class could lead the so called elites and military to victory over an enemy which was far stronger than them.Each continent honored the heroes, awarding medels of different kinds.

    It was very early the next morning and Ling was lying on the bed with Trisha, covered with a mattress as she rested her head on Trisha's arm.Trisha was in a confused mood, he did not know whether he was to be happy or he was to feel guilty because he had just slept with his father's wife on the night after their wedding.After some time, Ling noticed his quietness, and then she looked at his face as she felt that he was not in a delightful mood. But as she looked at him, he smiled with joy and it was not pretentious because he was really in a happy mood.Yet that smile did not stop her from asking. "You are so quiet. Is there anything bothering you?"He wanted to hide it but he could not since he had trained himself to be very honest and sincere and it would be very difficult for him to change in that aspect. "I feel guilty."Then she repositioned as she wanted to know why he was feeling that way. "Of what?"He was amazed that she was not feeling the same way as him, so he had to tel

    Leaving the room of King Nassor Dimka with the claim that she was going to her chamber, she came some blocks away from Nassor's room and then asked a guard who was on patrol. "Excuse me," she draws the attention of the guard.The guard was amazed to see that the new Queen was still wandering around the palace, so he said to her, "My lady, are you still looking for the chamber of his majesty?" He asked this question because it was known to him that the King had called her to his room, so he thought she should have been with the King. "Ermm," she stammered. She had not known her way around more to even know where her room was and it would be embarrassing to ask the soldier to direct her to her room because she knew according to tradition that she was supposed to spend the night with his new husband. So she thought of the best thing to cover up her wandering around the palace. "Actually, I'm coming from the King's chamber, I know it's that direction." She pointed the right direction to

    At the end of the wedding all who had come to grace the occasion were returning to their various homes and kingdom. Ling got the chance to speak to her father before he left since she might not be seeing him again for a long while or even forever.As she hugs King Stan goodbye, tears seem to drop from her eyes causing Stan to be baffled because he had seen smiles of joy on that face just some while ago. So he asked, "What is the matter my dear?"From the question she then knew that she had let herself too lose, so she hastily wiped the tears that dropped from her eyes, wearing a happy face again, but it was obvious this time that her happiness was not genuine like what it was earlier. "It's nothing father. Just tears of joy." Even though he knew that she lied, he did not care, as long as his kingdom was free from the attack and domination of the dragon king, he was satisfied. "I am happy to see that you are happy. Trust me, king Nassor will take good care of you. There is nothing to

    It's been twenty years since the death of the Queen of Ocalis, leaving her husband, the dragon King Nassor Dimka to be very brutal and dangerous, as all he sought was to rule the entire world, so taking over Kingdoms and dukedoms had been the only thing that gives joy and rest to his soul and the dragon in him.This continued until he came to Kingdom of Erellan, ruled by King Stan Gibson to do likewise as he had done to many other Kingdoms before now, but there he saw a young beautiful damsel, Ling, who remained him of his late wife and mate, Patricia, so he found it difficult to take his eye off her until she had left their presence after delivering a message to her King. King Stan knew that Nassor had come to take over his Kingdom either by his succumbing or by force which would be his death, but from the way he saw the dragon King stare at Ling still she left, he had an idea that came into his mind, so he said it out immediately. "I see you have interest in my daughter and I could

    In the evening hours of that day, the clouds filled up and then began a very heavy storm with lightning striking down to the surface of the earth, and the storm destroyed a lot of things in the entire kingdom; such as the crops of farmers and some buildings which were not rooted strong in the ground. *******But Foster reversed the question, "First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Foster, and these are my sons Fanser and Einar." He pointed at them respectively. "Why don't you tell us your name, so we would know what to address you?""My name is Claus, I am from Alaska and I believe this is just another rural town in the state." The man said."Well, Claus, as you have said, this is a town but there are no such things as rural towns or whatever the second or third type of town you may know. This is the kingdom of Pell and the place you mentioned, that is, Alaska, we do not know any place or kingdom that goes by that name in the world." Foster said."Oh no! You haven't heard of the

    Early the next day, by eight o'clock in the morning, Miss Linzi, Kellie, Andy and Eddy came down from a cab that just dropped off at the front of the Alaska Regional hospital. Then Miss Linzi walked in with the three kids, and as they got to the reception, she said to nurse there. "Please excuse me." "Morning ma'am, how may I help you?" The nurse asked Linzi. "I received a call from the hospital last night, and the person that spoke with me told me of a young man who was brought here from an accident scene. We are here to see him." Linzi said. "Slow down, could you be more specific, as in what is the name of the person you are here to see?" The nurse asked. "His name is Claus." Linzi answered. "Are you his wife, ma'am?" The nurse asked. "No I am not, but this is his daughter." Linzi said as pointed at Kellie. "Please can you direct us to his room?" "Please ma'am, we would like to know you are related to Mr Claus." The nurse said. But Kellie said on her behalf, before she coul

    Hours later, Miss Linzi was seen as a cab dropped her and the children at their compound, and after she had paid the bills to the driver, she led them to her own apartment to rest."Miss Linzi, where did you say our mother went to? And why hasn't she returned from work up till this time?" Andy asked after they must have spent a couple hours and the day was about to pass by."Oh sweetie, I am sorry that your mother did not tell me the reason why she had to stay out late today, but I believe that there is a good reason and she will soon be back." Linzi answered, as she set the dining table. Then she said to the three of them, "Come on, why not have some dinner while we wait for your parents to return from work."So they left the sitting room and came to dinner, but just before they began to eat, Kellie said, "Miss Linzi,""Yes Kellie." She replied as focused on what Kellie wanted to say."Have my dad called you again?" Kellie asked."No he hasn't." Linzi answered."Can you please give h

    After that he picked up his phone and then read the message which came earlier, then he looked at his wristwatch and looked at the phone to see the time when it came.Then he exclaimed. "Oh my gosh! I am running out of time." As he started the car again and zoomed off.Soon he arrives at the compound of Mr Jaxon, his boss who had been disturbing his phone since."Finally you are here." Jaxon said.And to Claus' greatest surprise he was not as angry as he spoke through the phone, but he still had to apologize. "Good morning sir, I'm sorry I could not make it as early as I suppose.""You came at the right time, I just finished preparing." Jaxon replied.Then Claus became surprised because he had been hurrying him to come down to his place.Noticing the amazing countenance of Claus, Jaxon said. "I know you are surprised as to why I was disturbing your phone earlier?""Of course, and I would have been at the station by now if I had taken your instructions." Claus said."Oh! I knew you wou
