Book track Version

 

 

Ships were coming, attacking us everywhere. These huge metallic animals were shooting lasers and fire, destroying all our land, houses and life. No one understood, I didn’t understand. Yesterday it was heaven today its hell. I thought this day would have never come, but as my English teacher said: “We are full of resources, gold, precious stones,and one day, I hope it’s in the far away future, someone will come and steal everything from us, as I always say no one’s happy with what they have!” He was right, his prediction happened, although I wish it never would.

 

     We had no hope, and they had realized it, in fact their ships were landing everywhere. The majority of us, citizens of Jazar, were running and trying to destroy this big metal killer, but nothing worked. Then I thought, we would all be slaves and would be used by those wicked and horrible creatures, I didn’t know how they looked like, but when I saw them climbing down the space ships, I realized they were very weird, they wore some kind of invisible, but opaque suit and had a weird colored skin, some kind of light pink, and had strings sticking out of their heads, some longer and some shorter. They also had five fingers, not six… From all those traits I realized what they were, I had studied them in science, and they were called… humods… hucolds…. HUMANS! That’s what they were the humans, the meanest of all the galaxy.

 

     At one point we were all running away, the humans were following us, for no reason. What had we ever done to them? One of my worst nightmares had just became reality, they were capturing people, and in the distance I could hear:

 “ Shela!” “Shela!” my mother was calling me in a desperate tone.

“Mom! Mom where are you?” I was flooding in tears and in the opacity I could see them my father, my mother and my smaller brother in a cage being carried in one of those infernal metal beasts. I tried to run and save them, but at that point I didn’t know what to do, I tried to think, but my mind was blocked. I could see Jazarchians dyeing everywhere, being trapped, crying desperately watching their families being taken away. Strangely at one point, all the humans stopped, went back in their evil ships and left. I didn’t understand, but I knew they would come back…

 

     That night I tried to sleep, I was hiding in a house, the only one left, but I couldn’t, the thought of what those monsters could do to my family was terrible, but the worst of all was that I didn’t even know if I would ever see them again. When I woke up the next morning, I was tired and I felt pain everywhere. I also felt weird as if someone was watching me...

 

      I could her someone breathing, I slowly turned around. There was silence everywhere, then I saw him, I couldn’t explain my emotions… it was my little loving 7 years old brother Asgr. He was crying hysterically, and then he said sobbing:

“Shela! Shela! You’re here! I’m so happy to see you! Mommy and Daddy… Mommy and Daddy they tried to save me! They gave me the syrup, I can’t remember the name, there was only for one. It made me smaller and smaller, until everyone were giants, they made me be free, free! But they are in that thing with those things! I’m so scared!”

“Don’t worry little soldier I’m here with you know, but who brought you here? How did you come here?”

 “ One of those things found me and brought me here, I think she’s the only good one”

 

     From that day we started plotting a revolution, my brother, the human Christina and I joined other survivors, every day we fight for our lives. We would rebel against the humans, invade their ships and save our people. Every day the humans would arrive and destroy more and more our planet. It was full of nature, full of life and every afternoon I could hear children playing and laughing, we were all happy, now the land is desert without colors and life, and now the only thing I can hear is the wind blowing.

 

     Finally we would attack and that day was coming closer and closer. It was a Monday morning, we were getting ready, I wore black clothes. Our commandant Zhir gave us three guns each, one to place in our shoe, one in a hole in our pants next to the belt and one to carry through all the mission. We were about thirty, my bother stayed in our secret area with the other kids and some of the women. Our secret area was in one of the various deserts. We had a trapdoor to enter that was covered by projected rock. Inside the secret area, we had 40 rooms to sleep in, luckily we had more, and so more refugees that survived could come, a kitchen, a reunion area and a greenhouse we created for the animals to live in and to plant crops. We had some holes on the surface that, were covered by more projected rocks that would let light come through. This area, also called The Hole, was created in the III World War, we were thought about it I school and teachers told us how it helped us win the war and that no one knew its location. Luckily Zhir’s ancestors created it, so he knew where it was, and he also found us and saved us from dying suffocated by  dust and from all the diseases all the dead bodies provoked, but mostly important, from those aliens.

 

     When we went out, it was like a desert, dull of dust, destroyed grey buildings, all the vivid nature, flowers and animals we had became extinct except the few ones we could save. There was a prevailing smell of deciding bodies and blood, all the freshness and the cent of flowers was vanished and the only smell left was smell of emptiness and death. We climbed a near building that was actually one of the only few left. It was very tall white building, that was now damaged, in fact there were only few stares and were really unstable. There were Brocken windows everywhere and I could see desks with broken computers on them. The floor was covered with personal broken objects, pictures, little statues and work material, that were all burned and ashes were still flying in the air since the day it all started.

 

    When we finally reached the highest point in the building, we could see the top of the spaceship. Zhir threw a rope that attached to the building and one of the edges of the ship. We all, one by one placed our biggest guns over the rope and held it on both sides and then we threw ourselves in the oblivion, until we touched metal, which guaranteed the arrival to our destination. In the meantime Christina was distracting the majority of the guards. Her plan was to trick them by telling them she got lost and when they were going to come back she would kill them all and say that Jazarchians did it, so every day they could rescue more people while the humans were searching for them.

 

     When almost all the guards were following her, we entered. All the technology was high-tech and there were even tele-transporting machines, also we had some, but they were not very common because they were experimental. The inside was monotonous all white and black with very bright lights, that as you looked at them, they made you blind for a few minutes.

 

     There was a smell of hospital, plastic and new everywhere, it was horrible. At a certain point we could hear people screaming from a room. A corridor was leading to it, the light was opaque there, like if they were hiding something, and at the end of it, there stood the metal door, with only a ten centimeter window to see inside.the room was all white with a metallic table in the middle and a wall full of knives and needles. Then we could see a Jazarchian wearing a short light blue dress similar to the one you use in hospitals when your sick,  being dragged to the table . At that point we noticed the door was looked, but we had to do something fast, I placed a Zolah, a technological instrument that opens doors automatically without needing a key, on the doors lock. As it opened we ran humbling inside, we attacked all the humans, luckily Zhir had given us a gun with the silencer so no other human could hear us. When I saw the face of the Jazarchian I could recognize him, he was my neighbor Lazir.

 

     When all the humans were dead, Lazir had a relieved, but tired face.

" Thank you so much, you saved my life" Lazir said with a tired voice.

"Don't worry, are you fine?" Shela said with a great smile on her face.

"Ok, you will talk later, now we need to find the others" Zhir firmly added.

"Okay, the rest are in the room at the end of the next corridor it has 59 on it" Lazir stayed in the room with one of us, as the rest went past the corridor.

 

     As we saw the door we entered and could see many cages, but the problem was they were empty. We didn't understand, and as we tried to figure out what had happened, I noticed I could hear a whisper, that was coming from one of the cages. Then I noticed a shadow coming rom the same area then we all started shoot at the cages and noticed that as it reached its border the bullet broke in thousands of pieces and a spark appeared. We couldn't believe what we saw, and decided to use Zolah, to see if it worked. Luckily before of placing it we saw a box next to all the cages, so we opened it and saw a " OPEN" bottom on it we simply pressed it and instantly we actually saw Jazarchians and even other people/aliens! (Those humans are really stupid!) We went in groups through the corridors and as we went out from the ship we could see Christina entering it, she made it!

 

     Thanks to this operation we could find many of our friends and family, and lukily I found mine. Since that day we did this operation a few times and we are regaining our land and the humans are coming less and less. Every time we get out of a ship with our goal accomplished we throw bombs at the ships, so they can’t contact anyone. Finally the humans understand… Jazar is ours and no one else’s!
