INVASION

Parasite.

When I woke up.

The voice was echoing..

$: Hello

John: ..........

$: hi how are you feeling.

John:..........

What welcome me was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

$: say something

John: Am I dead.

$: what?

John: is this heaven.

$: well you can say so.

John: wow so, it true Angels are beautiful.

Beside her I saw Jack.

I stood up went straight to him,

John: dude you are dead too.

Then I saw Dan plus Rick and Maxy.

John: oh, oh, OH. my God am still alive. What's going on guys what happen. Oh my headache. it's gone.

I faced the girl earlier.

John: thank you so much.

I stretch my hand out for a shake but she turn it down and frown her face at me.

John: is something wrong.

When I look back they were all looking at me with angry face.

John: come on guys what's is going on. Dan?

Dan: dude don't call my name am still pissed at you.

John: why? Why are you looking at me like this. And Jack am really sorry for the hell I caused earlier but please can you put me back to the squad.

Jack: what did you mean?

John: you kicked me out remember.

Jack: I did no such thing. You quit yourself.

John: what, you are pissed with me, you ask me to tell you what I saw yesterday. I said no and because of that you kicked me out.

Jack: now listen to yourself, can I really do that kind of thing because you did not...... Please stop the bullshit. Am just glad you are back to normal.

John: the hell is going on.

Dan: you created a big scene that day. First your behaviour to us was outrageous. You almost fight with me. You screw Jack shirt up. It's like you are insane. We keep our distance from you. Then you ask rick about their camp and destroy the place to the last bit. We saw you on the floor uncousious, Infront of Baron office with three guys down already, the fourth one is weak. We took care of it and Baron. Thank goodness Solomon has a standard care center and a brilliant scientist that how you recover.

John: Wait, wait. Am still confuse. Did I kill a bunch of wormbies.

Dan: yeah, I came to the place when I heard a loud roar and rumbling. At first I thought there was a fight between them. Then I saw you battling them and extinguishing them out completely.

John: did Jack kick me...

The girl earlier interrupted.

If I may. My name is Skylar by the way. You were controlled by a mind parasite.

John: mind parasite.

Sky: yeah. They are the most powerful parasite ever discover since the big invasion. They have the power to create a scene in the host mind making it look like its real then mold the host to do what ever they want. Before everything start. Do you notice anything strange.

John: strange strange. Yeah I do remember. My hand talked to me, it has eye and mouth. And Sometimes I feel headache.

Jack: wow

Skylar: that hand stuff is not real. It only create a scene In your mind to let you see it and that is how it can communicate to you. You are the only one who can see it.

@: I like her, I should be in her body instead.

John: so am being possessed.

@: oh yeah you are.

Skylar: There are lots of different Species, some has different ability like some may be able to transform to monster at will or some may be able to change just some part of their body. And some are already a monster. The common ones are the one you see that roam about. This parasite are what cause the invasion. they are the invasion. They invade our planet for some reason.

We all stare at her as she narrate all her discoveries on this things.

Solomon enters with his daughter.

Solomon: well isn't he the hero of the day how are you feeling.

John: Am fine. The little girl hug me.

Little girl: thanks for taking back our home.

I bend down to her level.

John: well isn't that cute what is your name.

Little girl: my name is Mary.

John: such a lovely name.

Mary:thanks ( and she went back to her dad), are you busy now, I wanna play with you.

John: oh am sorry, but that will be later.

Back to Skylar.

John: how can I fix it or have you fix it.

Skular: it can't be cure and but it can be remove.

John: Okay how?

Skylar: it's in your blood unless we drain all your blood completely. Which means the only way to remove it to kill you.

John: whoa whoa, calm down, my blood?

Sky: but you can control it.

John: how?

Sky: be the boss, it will try to communicate with you, try to tell you what to do even go to the extent of make you feel uncomfortable in other to do its needs. All you have to do is be the boss.

John: Be the boss okay I can do that. (I scratch my head) but how the hell did I get it.

Skylar: did you come in contact with a developed mutant.

John: what?

Dan: did you f**k a mutant.

John: ewww gross. How can you say things like that.

Dan: ( he hold his two arms up like ?) hey, Am just saying.

Skylar: I did not mean s*x I mean have you come in contact like blood transfusion or s*x or kiss or maybe you get contact with its blood.

John: you just said you don't mean s*x.

Sky: well that may also occure. the rate at which guys nowadays became horny when they meet a woman, beautiful or not beautiful. Like what you try to do three days ago.

John:( I blink my eyes like 3 times). What the f**k are you talk about.

Jack: yeah what the hell John, you try to r**e your saviour?

I open my mouth, wide open.

Dan:( smacking his lip.) this is disappointing.

Rick: what? The hell are you trying to pull.

Maxy: ah this never gets old.

Solomon: (cover Mary ears) Dude.

John: see guys I swear I knew nothing about it. And wait a minute, three days ago.

Dan: you were in coma for a week.

John: ahh thats a relief. I did not miss much.

Sky: don't try to change the subject.

Jack: yeah don't........... John.

John: this is not funny. Okay look sky am sorry I don't know what happened But am sorry. Does that clears it.

Skylar: I don't need your apology

John: wa...(okay okay, John calm down.) okay is there a way if getting ride of it.

John: oh yeah never mind. I've ask the question before.

Sky: alright if you need me I'll be out side.

The rest of the crew also logout

I sat down on the bed.

John: my life is complicated.

After 30 minute of adjusting my self.

I came out. It's evening already. I walk toward a devastated building. I touch it.

John: I remember this building. It's the building that was caught up in the explosion. Ahh well

I sat on the disintegrated part. Looking at how people keep moving up and down rebuilding.

In far distance I saw sky coming toward me. With a bottle of alcohol in her right palm

John: I guess that's part of the parasite ability.

@: hello. How about we go again.

John: not a chance

@: what? Are you disobeying me.

John: who the hell are you.

It took a form on my hand.

@ I believe we've met before..

John: yeah Once.

@: Do you like it, do you love what you can do.

John: I Ignored it.

Then I feel a slight headache.

John: if you cause me any pain.

@: what will you do.

John: why don't you check my mind and find out.

@: okay fine. I'll let you go this time. By the way Am hungry lets go get those low level parasite.

John: shut up.

?: John.

John: hmm,( turn my head to the one calling me). Oh hey sky what's up.

Sky: you are talking to the parasite right.

(Where is the bottle she was holding.)

John: (sigh) it's really annoying people think am Insane.

She sat beside me by the left.

Sky: yeah I get a lot.

John: is that so?

She is drunk

Sky: yeah I mean people normally........ ( she look at me) am sorry, I don't wanna bother you with my boring life story.

John: hey if you think your life is whack. Think of someone who lost his parent at 13, got kicked out by his family, live on street, for some month later live with an old blind man that trains you like no tomorrow after some years you live alone again, rescue a rich girl that decide to help you out by paying your school fees and house rent and when your success and freedom is at its peak, suddenly everything change to a nightmare. To this things we are fighting all over. After ward the same person killed his savior. Ruin the chance to love and contact a virus or parasite. Now tell me. Is yours worse than that?

Sky: who are you referring to.

John:: sigh) ME. The most unluckiest man alive. Feels like am born to surfer.

Sky: wow,..... It's...... And how do you live with that?

John: well. I trust in God. That's all. Now tell me yours.

Sky: sigh) When I became 15 years old, I lost my family to some political gang. It's like they are fighting for a post in the politics, and we're cut out off it. I was left alone in a big empty house, all by my self. I was so intelligent people call me freak, and I never had friends, the bodyguards follow me up and down and this keep people away from me. Then one faithful day, I decide to run away and in the process I was hit by a running car. This break some of my bones which had to be replaced with an artificial ones.

John: wow

Sky: and since then I've been in the hospital getting treatment and never once leave there until this invasion occurred.

She opened her stomach, the left side is all scars and

John:( I was curious.) wow, can I touch it.

Sky: shy) hmm, yeah you can.

John: when I touch her stomach it's rough like someone who has lived a dead road life. .

John: wow, your life is tough. I cant even compare it with mine. Wait. Sorry for this question, can you conceive.

Sky: her face expression change.

John: am sorry if that got you mad I'll just shut up.

Sky: you always say sorry.

John: what do you mean.

Sky: you say sorry everytime even if you are not at fault.

John: well, that's just me I guess.

Sky: She smiled sexy and stick her tongue out, sliding it round her lips. Moving her hair slightly showing her beautiful face.) as to your question how would you like to find out. She start releasing her left shoulder clothe.

John: (I look left and right while still focus my gaze on her). hey what are you doing.

Sky: What do you mean, you are grown up at least 19 to 20 years of age. Beside don't you really want me so bad. When last did you have s*x.

Half of her left breast is Almost showing completely.

John: stop it, this making me uncomfortable.

Sky: you sure you don't want this. (Getting close.)

John: I grab her shirt draw it back on her shoulder. Am sorry but I can't.

Sky: (She adjust)Why? is your thing not working.

John: Yes, No. what wait.No, No. It's working fine thanks. I just don't want to. You are drunk.

Sky: (she look down like she was disappointed. Then she look at me again and smile), I was just kidding, testing you.

@: this girl is horny

John: oh no you are not. You are definitely horny. And am not the guy for you.

Sky: how did you know that.

@: see I told you.

I touch her shoulder, looked at her.

John: (sigh), I have an annoying parasite who wouldn't just shut up.

Sky:(sigh) I'll tell you one thing though, you are the most luckiest person in the world, because with the parasite in you, you should have become some unrecognizable, dis arranged, an ugly Monster. . But some how you are lucky it's attached to you blood not your brain. That's one thing to be thank full of. ( yawn) Alright am off to my little house. Good night.

John: night, I look up. ( oh yeah it's night already.) Alright good night.

She stood up, start walking away. I face my gaze downward, then I heard the foot step stoped. I hear it again, but it's like she coming back toward me when I look up,her lip met with mine as she wrap her hand around me. She withdraw.

Sky: Good night.

I was dumbfounded. I don't know the exact words to say except to look at how she bounce her ass off to her tent.

John: What the fuck

I sat on the brick for an hour thinking about it. Then my butt start to pain me. I stood up. Walk around the place, some guys saw me.

$: who is there.

They move closer to me and flash a light at my face. It hurt my eyes damn.

$: it's him. THE UNSTOPABLE.

John: THE UNSTOPABLE? oh come on guys stop it. We are all survival so we do anything to survive except killing innocent people.

$: yeah men thanks, we really appreciate it. You've given us our freedom back.

John: no need to thank me. everyone one deserve it. So if you don't mind am just walking through.

$: oh no problem you are welcome anytime.

I move on. As I keep walking I saw a light with some figures standing beside it. I fix my gaze on it and I discovered it's Dan and some men getting drunk. But he never drink. Why?

John: I think I'll leave him alone for now.

I keep walking until I don't feel like walking again. I decide to sit.

After I sat down I looked at my palm and.

John: What the hell is going on with me. How am I different from those mutant. And how the hell did I contact it.( I lay my back on the wall turn my head up looking at the sky.) How did I get it

Then I remember when Dan blew the cylinder and there was blood all over me. But Later, everything dried at once leaving no traces of blood on me. And I thought it's not suppose to feel air or sunlight. What a dumb thought. That's it. Am sure of it.

@: Wow you are indeed brilliant. You guessed it overnight.

John: what do you want from me.
