chapter eight
A day feels longer when you're constantly in danger. But today was going to be an extra dangerous day, I could tell the moment I woke up. I needed to go out of the base and find out why I felt so nervous, or if my nervousness was pointless.
"Safina!" I shouted. She came rushing into my room as fast as she could.
"Are you ok?" She asked hurriedly.
"I don't know, that's what I'm gonna find out. So get dressed quickly." I urged. She rushed back out of my room and I got dressed and had some quick coffee before Safina and I were out of the base and walking through the woods.
When we arrived at the main gathering, we hid behind a tree because in the main gathering. There were millions of people all sitting down, acting like something was about to happen. I looked up at the sky to see a giant ship hovering above the people. Something was about to happen. Something big!
We stayed behind the tree until a loud, booming voice seemed to come from the sky, causing both me and Safina to jump.
"People of this planet, please to not be afraid. Two prisoners have escaped. Prisoners that we need! The person or people who find these prisoners will be assured the rights of an alien, and the rules will no longer apply to them, so long as they don't cause any major trouble."
Two big holograms appeared in the sky of a boy and a girl. And they looked exactly like...no it couldn't be, but it was Conan and Promise!
The loud voice spoke again. "These are what the prisoners look like. We will be posting pictures of them everywhere. We need them as soon as possible, so if you find them, bring them directly to us!" Then the spaceship flew off, leaving people in an uproar. I needed to find out why the aliens needed Conan and Promise so badly!
"Safina, I need to go listen in on the conversations of the aliens. I need you to stay here and if I get in a sticky situation, get me out." I said.
"Of course, but please be careful!" Safina begged.
I walked off towards the building where the aliens gathered to discuss important information. Since no humans were allowed, I needed to sneak in. I walked around the building, looking for a way in, but I could only see walls. So where was the entrance? I walked around a few more times, slowly giving up hope. But then I saw a little knob on the side of one of the walls and as I inspected closer, I knew why I had not seen it before. It was the exact color of the wall, making it look almost invisible. I pulled the knob, causing the ground to burst open beneath me as I was sucked into a tube. In less then five seconds, I burst out of the tube and landed in a vibrant, blue room filled with lights.
I had to hide before an alien came in here! I looked around, trying to find a good hiding spot and spotted a vent which I quickly climbed into, just as two aliens entered the room.
"Let's hope someone finds those two prisoners." One of the aliens muttered. "We need them in order to finish our project."
"Yes, it is terrible enough that Queen Akzurae would hide her kids on earth, but now they escaped from right beneath our noses and we need them back!" The other alien replied angrily.
"Queen Akzurae has always been a smart leader, but thankfully we destroyed her planet, even though a few of the citizens escaped, as did Queen Akzurae."
"What! I did not know that! That may make our project a bit more difficult."
"Don't worry, we will make sure that Queen Akzurae knows nothing of our plans. Now let's grab what we need and go." Both aliens grabbed a cup with blue goo inside, then left the room.
I was shocked! The things I had just learned made my head spin with confusion. Did Conan and Promise know they were the children of this...Queen Akzurae? What was the project that the aliens were working on? There were so many questions, and I had no answers. I needed to get back to my base, so I stepped out of the vent, grabbed one of the cups with blue goo to inspect, and pressed the button that said UP TUBE, and I got sucked back outside of the building. I rushed back to Safina.
"What did you find out?" Safina asked me.
"Not here, I will explain everything once we get back to the base." I whispered. "I need answers from Conan and Promise!"
