Part 1 Chapter 9: Remember me? (3)

  “He wants the girl” is what Alina heard, was Zack testing the water with the boys, and he knew he couldn’t tell them and so he kept it a secret; the reason he changed the plan. Knowing quite well that his friend Jeremy would’ve stayed back on earth instead of going to the new earth without Alina.

  But Zack wasn't heartless; he saw Alina's determination in sending her family to the new earth in himself and therefore he asked for her family to reach the new earth. It was a hard decision to make, he knew the answer but the execution could mean death to Alina. But one victim was a cost he knew he might run into ever since he escaped the orphanage and he is glad it wasn’t him or one of his friends. But Alina was different; she was weak and this is the cost of being weak.

  The girls are trembling at the thought of missing their planes and their inability to re-enter the airport now. Their hearts pounded so hard but it soon mixed up with the sound of steps.

  Suddenly a figure appears and it's Gregory the humanoid.

  "We have finally found each other" said Gregory, unmasked terrorizing Lilliana into screaming, echoing this empty storage unit and empty world.

  "Can't let you go on living," said Gregory bluntly, making Lilliana pull herself together and her fear stopped and redirected towards her sister's life, Alina. Alina is shaking an frightened.

  Alina is confused not knowing why she is this scared. Deep down, she knows she can't escape, but why? She can't remember. Something she saw in a black cylinder is trying to peek through.

  "I won't let you touch her" yelled Lilliana who grabbed Alina close.

  "Sisters? I assume. “ said Gregory

  “...Yes please forgive us” said Lilliana

  “I'll let you escape. Go on runaway from your sister's fate" said Gregory to Lilliana.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Lilliana is surprised at what she hears, but in a second after taking in what Gregory has said to her, she turns hostile.

  "Are you freaking kidding me? Go to hell! I'd rather die than let you touch a hair of Alina's hair" said Lilliana which, weirdly, angered Gregory tremendously.

  “You won’t runway,” said Gregory calmly but with anger boiling within.

  "Please let us through I won’t tell anyone about you" said Alina

  "I've calculated and planned every last step. And I made sure not to make one single slip up. But unfortunately, as suspected, it had to happen and it was you. I need you gone. You saw too much."

  "I don't remember most of it" said Alina

  "I thought you'd like to know why you'll die" said Gregory as he raised his hand and pointed at Alina

  Gregory raises his hands horizontally slowly. points his finger at Alina.

  Alina's eyes open wide but not in shock. She remembers.

  Alina gasped and then weeped. She knew what was about to come.

  "So you do remember" said Gregory

  She does remember, the humanoids, the new species of the new earth, human’s great slaves and their one level higher in the food pyramid. The humanoids that are going rampage on the new earth, devouring humans. With their genetically fortified body, strong as lions and tigers, and their speed that challenges race cars.

  And now she remembered something else.

  Lilliana tried pulling Alina away but she just stood there with tears in her eyes. Lilliana forcefully dragged Alina away as Gregory stayed still.

  "It's no use" said Alina, pushing Lilliana away. Lilliana is puzzled at Alina's actions but that all changed when she saw the humanoid, with his finger pointed at Alina and a blue ray forming at the tip of his finger. And a blindingly bright ball of energy is formed.

  Lilliana runs towards Alina, still standing. Alina wanted to yell at her sister to go, to run away but she couldn't. She was too scared.

  Lilliana reaches her arms to Alina and Alina reaches back at the last second and they hug each other for the last time before a blue ray blast is released in a straight line. They cried in each other's arms before everything happened too fast.

  The blast was so great it blasted through the storage units. Showing the humanoids' true power, the real inhabitant of the new world. Alina and Lilliana disappeared.
