The Escape

Late one cold winter morning of my twelfth year, my mom decided to tell me that my father wasn't a warrior, he didn't save lives, or help people in need. He was just a drug addict that left me and my mom when I was 3 months old. I closed my eyes, trying my best not to cry, not to become a huge waterfall. With this on my mind I couldn’t believe that my mom lied to me, lied about my father. In the meantime, all of my classmates parents were getting divorced and getting all depressed so they would come to me “Ansley” to tell me all about. I asked my mom for a picture of my father and she walked at a normal pace to her sock drawer. Underneath all her socks was a little blue box. It was all worn out. Inside there was a piece of paper all wrinkled and she picked it up with her shaky hands. “Ansley I want you to keep this, this is your father Dean”. My Father's picture was in my hand. I couldn't believe it. My hands couldn't stop shaking, my pulse raised to the speed of a race car. My dad was so handsome he had brown wavy hair, deep blue eyes that looked like the ocean when the sun rises, tall muscular and skinny. My eyes slowy open the next morning I turned my head to my alarm clock the bright red numbers said 8:00am crap I was late for school. My mom goes to work at 4:00am so I don't see her until dinner. My backpack and lunch were at the door. I rushed out of my bed and ran to the door got my backpack and ran to school. When I took one step in my classroom everyone was staring at me in a disgusted way except for my two best friends which were so happy to see me. Everyone at my school is so fake, rude, and filthy rich except for me and Ashley and Robert whitch are my two best friends. Something hit me I felt  like something summoned me. I ran furiously out of my school, my class left in confusing. I ran home I felt my feet blistering I saw an object floating in the bright blue sky. I saw miss.reid my annoying fat big forehead neighbour and I ran to her to ask her if she sees a big black object in the sky and she said “you're seeing things kid go home” I couldn't believe it, am I seeing things? I pinched myself to see if I was sleeping, dream, no it was real. The big black object in the sky seemed to be a space ship that was starting to land on my farm I was scared and surprised. When I was a kid I used to dream about aliens and how we had this some sort of connection. I was in the same position in my dream as I am in reality. My dream is becoming real. I ran to my farm to see the spaceship.This bright beam of light struck down on me. I felt my feet slowly rising from the ground and I heard this loud buzzing sound around me getting louder every second until my ears popped. I started to hear a different language It was crazy how I recognized the language. It wasn't english. Then the creature or as you would call it an “alien” looked at me like I belonged her like I was meant to be. They took me to a room and slamed the door. There was a bed that looked like the ones at the hospital. There was nothing else in the room except for light. I was really tired and exhausted so I decided to have a nap. I layed on my bed and all I could hear for a while was the crunching sound of the paper sheets on my bed. After a few minutes I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep. My eyes shut and everything went dark I saw my  mom, and she was crying so sadly and she was in my room slouching on my bed holding my teddy bear that I used to bring with me everywhere so tightly that I think that his head would pop off. I felt so cold inside I needed my mom to tell me I'm safe to tell me that everything is going to be okay. She can't she's on land and I'm in mid air. I needed to make a plan to go home, immediately. So I peeked my head out of the door to see if there was anyone guarding the door there was. So I quickly and quietly closed the door. I saw an airlock window small enough for my skinny body to fit through. I tried opening it, my weak arms didn't help at all. I tried my best and it opened what a relief, but then there was this loud alarming sound with red flashing lights everywhere so I quickly scooted through the space to freedom. Then I heard giant loud footsteps coming towards me. I wanted to go home so badly. “Get her!” they said in their language more footsteps were coming towards me. I made it to the moist green grass at my feet the birds singing. BAM something hit me a flashback a warning to tell me run, run home don't look back grab every weapon you can find and fight back against the aliens your destiny is to defeat them. I fainted it was to powerful but something, no someone pick me up gradually from the ground and started running. The someone slapped me so hard that I woke up with a gasp. I turned my head to see the someones face but I couldn't because of the bright light coming out there face. It was just a bright floating light. I thought deep thoughts and felt that she was my angel from the sky that came to help me. My angel leaded me to my living room couch and set me down with care. My angel gave me a dramatic look back before it left. After my angel left I hurried to all my house doors and locked them. My feet started to get sore walking up the stairs to my room. I hurried under my blanket with fear realizing that I for got to get weapons, I cursed to myself quietly. I tiptoed out of my blanket slowly down my stairs until I heard foot steps but they didn't sound like the footsteps in the spaceship they sounded like a delicate kind of persons footsteps. I started walking backward on the stairs trying not to make a squeak. The sound of keys hitting each other going through the keyhole the noisy door opened without a doubt and one foot at a time my mom came out of the door. My body relaxed in relief I felt like 100 pounds just came of my shoulders and my heart slowed down from a rabbit running away from a tiger to a normal pulse rate. man was I relieved to see my mom. “How was school today kiddo” calmly my mom asked “wierd.”  I dashed to my mom giving her an enormous huge. I wondered what happened to the aliens and my bright angel where did they go.
