Part 1 Chapter 9: Remember me? (2)

  While Alina sat alone, she was the most alone she has ever been, ironically she liked it a little after spending all of her twenty four years in life in the same spot with her family and her locked up city, Long Ridder city. She was by herself and everyone was new to her, people from other areas. She loved being by herself to fully take in the new faces and new facility and the sound of the airplane engines. There was so much excitement that she wanted to say it out loud, but her sister Lilliana wasn’t there and Jeremy too wasn’t there. It’s okay, she’ll tell them when they reach the new earth, is what she thought to herself.

  Among the chaos she didn’t notice the security guard approaching her. Telling her to come with him. She didn’t know what to do. She was by herself. She looked around for her family or Jeremy or anyone she knew to help her decide what to do. But alas there were no one and, scared as she was, she obliged, she didn’t know how to act or what to say. This authoritative figure is ordering her around and she has to comply. He took her to the airplane's runway and sat her on a bench guarded by new earth guards. All she can see is the airplanes taking off vertically to the new earth and there she is captured. Not knowing for what. But she does know. It must be something to do with the humanoids. But how did they find her? Even though the engine sound was thundering her ears, her eyes were fixated on the new earth guards talking in the radio communicator and among so many things she heard the name Gregory. There was no doubt about it, the crazy humanoid who erased her memories and was after her, is, this named Gregory. And She is frightened that Gregory the humanoid is coming for her.

  The guards guarding her outside attracted the attention of the people in the airplanes waiting to reach the runaway and they were staring. One of those airplanes was the one where Zack and Lilliana were boarding. And As Lilliana ascends she notices the guards and so she pauses to see what is this all about. She didn’t expect to see her sister Alina sitting on a bench surrounded by the guards.

  “What’s the meaning of this” Lilliana thought “but we all went through the same procedure” said Lilliana before looking at an unfazed Zack “you did this! She suspected you from the start” yelled Lilliana

  “It had to be what it was,” said Zack boarding the plane.

  Lilliana descends the plane with Zack not caring. She thinks of going straight to them but she knows that’s suicidal. And so, she runs outside the airport to the front gate where the bikes were tossed and the keys still remain in them. She rides in Charles' bike, knowing damn well, it was the most prepared for fighting out of the three and bolts to the airport runway fences. And Thanks to Zack’s first plan she lost no time in coming up with one.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  She rode along the fence and hand grenade an opening, she made a big commotion as well but the place was way less guarded. She was smooth sailing into the airport runway. She runs straight ahead at the guards, Lilliana pulls out a rifle, which wasn’t hidden as Charles’ bike is filled with nothing else. She shoots randomly everywhere, scattering the guards and the onlookers. But Alina, seeing it was her sister, didn’t move.

  The bike stops in front of Alina and just like the guards scattering around, so was Alina’s fear.

  “Bold as ever” said Alina happily to see her sister as they drove away running away from the guards and as stressed and confused Lilliana is she had one destination she and her sister can hide in, the blocks.

  Unfortunately for them, an unwanted figure has just arrived and the explosion and bike sound led his eyes exactly to his prey.

  The girls’ bike slowed down near block A017

  “No! Keep going” said Alina and Lilliana understood what she meant. She wanted to hide in the storage unit where they found their tablets. Hurriedly they entered and cropped down, scared and confused next to their tablets.

  “He… he knew..Zack” Lilliana said as the tears started filling her eyes as the adrenaline dropped and their reality started sinking in and realizing the situation they were in. They left the planes. The final planes leaving in the next two hours, and then, there’ll be nothing. Stuck in the old earth in Joseph’s earth.

  Out of desperation, Alina picked the block where her tablet was. She had no plan. She crumbled like a cookie. She thought she could do this. But she needed him, Jeremy. The guy who betrayed her. She now knows what they were up to last night.

  And what Alina heard in the storage room, what Zack said, is flashing right back to her. And she was right about suspecting something because last night while they all played, Zack was planning something else. He sees the new earth guards are increasing at the airport gate and so he makes a decision in order to save his friends, the abandoned children. To fulfill their hopes and dreams and not to fail at the last minute by some girl. Going through the fences is impossible no matter how much distraction they’ll make using hand grenades.

  Gregory the humanoid remained at the gates all night and Zack, walked towards him knowing exactly well, from his friends’ stories, how scary he is and his white uniform buddies. He made a deal with Gregory, he’ll give him the girl if the rest can ride the plane even though they haven’t gone through the medical check up or have their memory erased beforehand.

  “Eight free seats! You’re asking for too much” said Gregory “Quiet and with less commotion. I like your plan better” added Gregory

  “She might’ve told them” said one of the humanoid to Gregory

  “If she did they wouldn’t want to go to the new earth” said Gregory

  Relieved that his plan worked Zack stayed out until all the new earth guards left before heading to their hiding place.
