Chapter 13

Capability.

Tentacles

Meghan took out folded pieces of paper in her pocket then set them out straight on my bed, I stood up to give her room, despite my small room I kept my distance from the aliens.

Meghan had one paper in her hand that had sentences of some kind and bullet points. Taking a glance at the first sentence I couldnt make sense of it, I assumed the weird shapes and lines is their universal language, everyone had their eyes on the pieces of paper set out on the bed.

"So what will be needed first is a base, we need a base to always go to when we go into cover or is severely wounded" her eyes met mine for a second before continuing onto the next bullet point. I'm guessing that it was meant for me.

"Next! Don't find it, let it find you, don't let it suspect that you are going against it. Assuming the amounts of times it has seen me and memorized my moves I'm sure it will either try to kill me immediately or run away. We will need it here"

She took another look at the paper before speaking again "this is earth, it's a special planet to all ....'aliens'. To prevent the human population going down we will need to make it focus on us!" She turned her read towards me then looked back the at others. "Lily and I will be doing that. It's our job to keep this thing distracted in order not to have it kill others.... that means.. we will have to be getting some good moves to let it only focus on us."

Exactly knowing what she meant I quickly looked away blushing.

"As for y'all! You three will be traveling to the origin of it finding the weakness! You probably have already learned where it is and what it looks like, just a friendly reminder." She picked up a piece of paper on the bed that was a creature that had tentacles coming out from behind and under. Meghan pointed out to the..'eyes'. What you do is cut out the pupil and enter inside, but before you do that I will give you a signal on when to go, the body of it is usually numb and every nerve from the head will be traveling down to give enough power to release the sperm. From here, the thing will be blind and that's when I'll give you all the signal to quickly make your way into the brain, follow the white string, it will lead you to where the heart is, under the brain. From there you all will work together to pop the heart out and the six other small hearts from underneath. At this point the thing has froze up, but it won't stay like that for longkeep your distance away from the brain immediately. Don't let it shock you it's deadly, go out the same way you came in. Lily and I will be released and I will call up my organization to help pick it up and leave."

I took a glance at everyone's expressions, they looked serious. My only thought was..this isn't going to be fun at all..it's pretty interesting on how things are working with this whole alien/human life stuff. This is really happening..

Meghan stood up to grab a few sticks from out her pockets then sat back down, they were colored and pretty thick. Everyone groaned when they saw it. I stared at Meghan wondering why. Meghan laughed a little, I know it's a bother but we all need to communicate some how, and this is how!" Meghan turned to me, putting down the sticks all except the blue one, she flicked the top of it which made it grow longer and skinnier by the second, at the end point of the stick there was a tiny light flashing, she got closer to me and pointed at it. "This. This is what will be used to communicate with everybody else, this flashing light will be placed into your inner ear making sure you can hear us specifically when were needed to be heard. But do not worry you will only feel a slight pinch, and I won't put it in right now it's when that day comes."

A small shiver went down my spine knowing the fact that she will shove that needle in my ear and place that thing in my head.. "ehh...."

Meghan folded it back to its original shape placing it on the bed with the others. "Any questions so far?"

I raised my hand. "Yeah..... what confuses me is that..... this thing you say it's on this world... I only seen it in my 'dreams'. When I first met u as this i was in school, it was damaged, the sky was dark, everybody was screaming and trying to hide but it's people that I sort of don't know. If people are actually dying from this, where are they? Earth seems monster free right now."

Meghan took a moment to think about it. Veronica & grace chuckled, nick turned his face to the side to get a better view of me. "Meghan did you not explain this part to her?" Veronica said.

Meghan smiled a awkward smile "whoops"

I couldn't help but have a puzzled look.

Meghan sighed "welp night as well tell you... you...well this earth is actually lucky to have it in your dream state for now. That monster..when it came over to this dimension it didn't travel far enough to reach the "reality" of the earth, it traveled far enough to go into the dream state, and yes those people who died are actually real people, the ones who are in there were also dreaming just like you, either sleeping or in a coma. If you looked at the news from other countries as well as America you will see that a lot of people are dying in their sleep, scientist claims that it's from shock but in reality, the scientist knows that what's ever doing this is this alien thing... the government is trying to go after it actually, stupid humans think they can find out everything. You actually know more than what they know~"

My jaw dropped things have obviously gotten worse, this is becoming way to real to me.

"But yes. This creature is real and there's people out here dying from it. And there will be more if we don't stop this thing soon enough"

Grace cleared her throat. The voice of hers was a very soft voice, the type of voice you'd hear from a dubbed anime. I will admit she was kinda cute.. but her height scared me a little. "Meghan..we should wrap things up I still need to fix the machine and nick over here" she gestured to him "is running out of nutrition. And also we don't have a place to stay."

Meghan face lighted. "Oh yes! Umm.. lily I forgot to tell you, I asked your mom and she said I get to crash for the night since it's the weekend. And since it's their first night here on earth they will be staying too"

"WHAT"

I panicked

"W-what if my parents find them!? We can't have them see a green human being! And they don't even know these two!"

Meghan waved her hands giving me a sign to calm down "look there's nothing to worry about!" She grabbed my shoulders "remember how I said they can shape shift? And also did you see them at all at school? Exactly! They will blend in just fine! Look.." Meghan released me from

Her grip and grabbed my pink piggy bank from my counter top. Meghan turned back at me "watch this" she stepped towards grace. Grace gently grabbed it out of Meghan's hands and focused on it, she ran her fingers through the smooth surface and looked into the penny hole, she even gently rotated it observing all of its flaws and details, soon after she placed the bank on my bed and seconds after there was a small cloud of dust, clothes dropped on the floor, as the smoke cleared out there was a hiding from under the clothes. We all watched as Meghan bent down puking her up removing the clothes from her. It was a piggy bank. I stared in awe. I froze wondering if I should be freaked out or amazed. I grabbed my piggy bank on the bed and set it next to grace. It was exactly the same. If I were to leave the room and come back I really wouldn't tell who is who. Veronica rolled her eyes, nick stayed in the same position not changing his expression. "I-I.." words couldn't come out of my mouth, I truly was shocked. I turned to Meghan and whispered. Can she hear us? Can she still talk?

"Of course I can hear you." There was a small echo coming from the bank. I couldn't help but stare.meghan chuckled. "Ok grace come back," Meghan set grace down back on the floor then poofed once again back into her human form, except now..she's naked. I couldn't look away though.Something about it was weird but at the same time beautiful, as if it was supposed to be what human bodies should look like. Grace bent down to grab her clothes.

Veronica sighed a huge sigh "Well.. whatever it's getting late we should go."

I looked at her in confusion. "Wait..don't you shape shift too?" Veronica had a bothered look on her face before looking over at my direction. "N.no do you have a problem with that!? Hasn't Meghan already told you!? I create illusions!" She pointed to the wall behind me I stepped back realizing what I saw, there was a blackhole in the wall "woah! What the fuck!" I stepped back then looked at Veronica then back to the wall. It disappeared. "That's amazing...."

Veronica's chin was high as if she knew she was the best around "Hmm yeah I know I can pretty much...make anything yknow.." Meghan chuckled "and don't forget my buddy over here!" She pointed at nick, he was y'all compared to her size. He just stood there then attempted to wave at me.

"He can turn into any plant, he is also a She." I stared up to nick. "I guess that make sense..but do you have an example of a plant you can turn into?"

Nick fully faced me. His voice deep but comforting. "I will be needing soil for that." He crossed his arms and stared down at me, it kinda made me a little nervous. "Oh umm we have a pot and soil in the backyards yeah my mom loves to do gardening. Haha.."

Meghan sighed and clapped her hands" well then! It's settled! Shall we get some rest!?

I looked at her funny "it's 6"

She tilted her head "is it not the time humans sleep?" I chuckled a little "well yeah kinda but us humans now a days like to stay up a little late before going to bed..the reasonable time is 8 or 9.

But...I guess for my parents not to be too suspicious of anything we should sleep early.."

Meghan smiled "yeah.." she then took a deep breath before facing everyone "then we will continue on this meeting tomorrow! Tomorrow is a big day. Get ready!!"
