Jacob was getting a tingly sensation which was causing breaking causing his disturbing his sleep. He kicked his legs a few times and rose up with a shock right after he saw a very vague silhouette pass through the front of his bed. He soon realized that he was not alone…
His initial thoughts were that there was a burglar in the house. He quickly got up and brought out his gun that he kept in his drawers for safety purposes and went downstairs being ever so cautious.
He heard some more rickety rackety sounds that were coming from the kitchen, he went there only to find something…or someone to be exact..
Sitting under the table, looking like a shadow, only partially visible by the light of the moon that was falling top of that thing…
It was hard for him to make out what it was, but upon closer inspection he realized that the thing was a she…it was naked lady, hiding there in fear, the shadow was concealing her breast but the silhouette was still clearly understandable.
She was shivering and she thought that Jacob was going to hurt her, he told the lady to calm herself down, he kept the gun down and raised his hands…
“See, I am completely safe, don’t be afraid of me, come out form the dark, talk to me…let me help you…”
Jacob’s kind words smoothened the heart of the lady a little bit, she got the courage to come out and show her.
What Jacob saw literally left him spellbound and speechless…
The lady standing in front of him was perhaps the most beautiful creation of God he ever laid his eyes upon, a curvy figure for whom anyone would die and perfect perky breasts which made it hard for him to take his eyes off…Long blonde hair that dangled down up to her hips and a cute sweet face that made him spellbound, and in love…
Jacob quickly got back to his senses and took a towel from the side and approached the lady to cover her body. But just as he was about to touch her, the surface of her whole body within a split of a second shifted its color from the usual human tone to a dark-grey blue, it felt as if the body the breathed by turning scales all over which again rotated and came back to its original positions, leaving behind glowing markings for a brief moment which then disappeared. Jacob got really scared and was thrown back a little bit by this sight…it didn’t take him that long to soon realize that she was not of this world…
She was…An Alien…
Chapter 8: The Alien
“So, what’s your story?”
These were the words of Jacob he had come out from the initial shock and accepted the fact that was indeed an Alien in the room. He had a number of questions for her, the first one being how did she even get here!
The Alien pushed her hand forward close to Jacob’s neck, “What! Are you going to perform some Alien ritual on me and prepare me for probing!? “Jacob said in a demeaning voice, but she didn’t stop and attached a small odd looking device around his neck.
“No, I am not going to probe you, this device is simply a language translator which will help you understand my language. And by the way, my name is Talia. ” She said.
Jacob looked at her with sheer surprise while the Talia smiled. Jacob apologized to her for behaving rudely and for staring at her naked body. Talia seemed harmless enough and she accepted his apology then she started to tell her tale…
“Let me start by first telling you, it was not my intention to barge in here in your planet and take refuge under your shelter. The spacecraft which I saw there, I didn’t know that it was still active or even if it was from another planet. The technology which was used to build it was very pre-mature; I thought it was an ancient relic.”
Jacob looked at her with a poker face, as she kept on going…
“By now this much I understand about this world that you people went to our planet looking for us. Perhaps this was respond to the distress signal which was sent from our planet. Let me tell you Jacob, our planet, right now is perhaps the most unlivable place in the entire galaxy.”
“Indeed, our whole mission was set-up on the sole reason of your distress signal”, Jacob proclaimed.
“Let me tell you everything then…” Talia sat on the chair and told her tale.
Apparently, according to her there was a time when Jupiter was one of the most peaceful of the 9 planets in the Solar System. People used to live their happily ever after like some kind of fairy tale. Everything seemed to be absolutely perfect, until their King Ragnaroth the 3rd died. To the public, his death seemed completely natural due to aging, but some people like Talia knew that his death was a brutal murder done through a barrage of conspiracy to set up things in motion so that their current King Akatosh would be able to rise to the throne. After Akatosh came up, everything changed, he became to be one of the cruelest tyrants in the history of Jupiter, and he turned the planet into a living hell. Talia’s life was at risk because she knew the truth, so somehow through an arduous journey she managed to escape from the city walls and stumbled upon their ship. While they were away on the rover ride, Talia slowly crept inside the ship and hid her in one corner. She has the power to manipulate people’s mind into thinking that there is nothing there, which is how she was able to slip past everything and come to Jacob’s home by hiding behind his car. Jacob told Talia about the incident which happened to their rover, to which Talia responded by saying that the marks on his Rover were created by some of the fiercest warriors of Akatosh who were set out to look for her, had it not been for the storm, the Katarians would have shredded their rover to pieces.
Upon hearing everything, Jacob remained really stunned for a few minutes before opening his mouth.
“ So, that’s all fine and dandy, but what I want to know now is, what are you going to do now that you are here? What do you intend to do? Its not like you have any relatives or cousins here!”
Talia seemed to be a little bit shy before answering “I want to stay here, returning to that planet now will only end with my death, I want to learn how to live like a human, I want you to help me be a part of this community, or at least be a part of you…”
Jacob was sipping from a bottle of Pepsi which he sprayed out “What!?”
“Yes, I don’t know why but for some weird reason, I kind of find you a little bit attractive…that were why I chose to get inside your car in the first place. You seemed to be safe and trustworthy, plus were the only one who lived alone…See us Jupitarians have the power to see into the mind of others, we can read them. I sensed a very long impending loneliness in your heart, you needed someone and I need someone as well. Plus I also know that you found me very attractive as well…”
Jacob kept down the bottle, he was really embarrassed but whatever Talia said was true. He kept thinking about what his next move was going to be, but at the same time, he remained lost, staring into her bright blue eyes… Jacob really was starting to have feelings for her…
Chapter 9: Talia meets the world
“You are seriously telling me that you don’t have ferries wheels in your planet? I mean common! That is like the very basic level entertainment stuff!”
Jacob kept on saying this, laughing at Talia while she was clinging herself to Jacobs arm when their Ferries wheel chamber was at the very top. It stood there for a while giving her a view of the night city of New York.
Talia took a moment to absorb everything; she eased her heart and leaned towards Jacob’s shoulder, holding his arm very tightly.
“I never saw anything like this before, back in our planet, everything is so void of color and washed out, things here seems to be so full of life…”
While Talia kept looking towards the magnificent vista, Jacob kept staring at Talia who was very quickly becoming a part of his heart…
Talia seemed to be enjoying this lot, and just as she was about to close her eyes, the wheel started to move again, jerking them off their romantic posture, they both shared a good laugh…
“And this is called Times Square, here you will get everything from luxurious cloths which will addict you so much int
o buying that ultimately you will turn into a bum, and also chocolate that will turn you into hippos”
That was exactly how Jacob decided to introduce Times Square to Talia when they both arrived there. Talia took some time to look around and explore the surroundings. All these people, everyone a different personality, roaming around in this planet free of restrictions, these things were fascinating her beyond comprehension. Jacob became highly curious though when he came to realize that Talia doesn’t know what chocolates her! So without any delay, Jacob held her hand and took her to the nearest chocolate shop, and gave her a platter of their best serving.
“Ohhhhhh mmyyy Gooood!! These are amazing! Outstanding! If I could just take some of these to my planet, the children would pay billions of Zoolaloos for them!! “
The shopkeeper lady looked at the shouting Talia after her mentioning of the word “Planet”.
Jacob held her hand under the table and signaled her to control herself. Talia regained back her sense from the sudden Choco-drive and mitigated the situation.
Jacob wasn’t able to control his laughter when he saw Talia eating chocolates like a beast and eventually making a chocolate shaped mustache around her lips.
Jacob took a tissue and pulled up his hand to slowly wipe away the chocolates from her lips. This was the first time ever Talia had someone touch her lips, this was the first time ever Jacob had ever touched the lips of someone. Talia closed her eyes, and gently gave a small peck upon Jacob’s hand…
“I know how you are feeling, I having the same feeling as well…”
Hearing Talia’s word, Jacob smiled and took her to the next destination.
It was really late and Jacob though that it was time for them to have dinner. Since things were indeed escalating pretty quickly, Jacob wanted to have a light romantic dinner with her. He took her to the Crown Jewel Restaurant situated on top of Lady Liberty.
He knew that during that particular time, the restaurant mostly remained empty and it would’ve been just the two of them.
Talia’s hair was flowing beautifully like with the breeze from the river, her face was only partly visible form the candle light that Jacob had set at the middle of her table.
“You look beautiful…”
Talia smiled, “You know, that’s not the only thing you want to say to me…”
“Don’t you think reading people’s mind is a bit of a privacy invasion? I’d prefer to keep some thoughts to myself, at least until the right time comes...”
Talia felt a little embarrassed and blushed “Sorry, I can’t all of a sudden take away my habit, you know in our world we mostly used to communicate using our mind. So, yes…telepathic communication is pretty much the basis of our communication…”
Jacob leaned a little bit forward very close to her, and held her hands “It’s alright, but now that you know already know what’s on my mind, then let me just say it out loud…”
Jacob brought her hands close to his heart and moved even closer to her, with keeping just an inch of an distance between their lips.
“I Love You Talia, I am deeply in Love with you, and I want you to stay with me, till death do us part…”
It became really for hard Talia to look into his eyes, “I want to kiss you…”
Jacob laughed because usually it is the boy who expresses this first…
Jacob slowly touched her lips with his and they locked themselves in the most passionate kiss of their lives, not that they ever had a kiss before…
That night, Talia and Jacob didn’t sleep in different beds. it was a very special night for them. Jacob finally had someone to share his dreams with, someone who cared for him, someone who would banish his isolation, while Talia had a pair of arms to protect her from anything that might come to harm her in this world. For the brief moment, everything for them seemed to be perfect…
That night, the two bonded together like there was going to be no tomorrow, their bodies collided and they took an oath of becoming the support for one another, they were not simply individual people any more, they were now one…
Chapter 10
Nothing Stays Hidden
Few months passed like that and the intimacy between kept growing ever so stronger. But with every passing day, it was becoming increasingly difficult for Jacob to keep her true identity hidden from the world. To some people he said that she was a very long distant cousin who came to live with her, while to his closes friends who knew that he had no relatives, he made some truly outrageous stories to make them believe and keep her on the safe side. They were able to fool pretty much everyone except Eddie and Erik who knew that something was very wrong, and her sudden appearance right after their space mission was not just a co-incidence.
Later one day, Jacob decided to take her to a national park which imitated the cliff sides of Mt.Fuji. The park was relatively new and they wanted to see what it was offering. But that was their biggest mistake; well it’s actually tough to say that it was a mistake, because accidents never approach knocking at the door.
Standing at the edge of the cliff sides, Jacob was holding her hand looking outward into the emptiness where the horizon was meeting with the sea.
“Miss home?” Jacob asked
“I don’t have a home anymore remember? My family died long ago, I was the only one left…You are my home now…”
Jacob pulled her close to his heart and gave her a loving embrace, but then all of a sudden, the footing under Jacob’s feet broke apart and within seconds, he was down on his path to a swirling death. This was the first time when Talia was forced to use her powers in public, what else could she do? It was about saving her home…
Talia quickly reacted to the situation by focusing all of her telepathic powers upon him. A light blue aura came out from her chest which turned into a silhouette of a hand around Jacob, gently holding him and brining him up towards the ground and to safety. Talia quickly ran towards him and held her as tightly as she could…
Jacob caressed Talia and thanked her...but he knew that things were not going to be the same anymore; this single event was going to both of their lives in danger, especially Talia’s…
Jacob was scared, not for him, but for her and told her that they must leave immediately. But it was too late, as the pedestrians around that place had already taken pictures and videos of what perspired back then.
Upon returning home, Jacob turned on the television, seeing that the video has already gone viral and people are calling it the “Dawning of a new age”
Crisis was starting to break apart; the whole country slowly was going into a wide level destruction. The people demanded them to be capture; the people questioned the competency of the government.
Jacob realized that very soon, NASA will take action and they will send re-enforcements to capture her. Things were getting very intense for the couple now.
The only path for them now was to at least try and leave the country. Jacob had some inside contacts who would be able to help them leave the country.
“You do realize what’s about to happen right?” Asked Jacob with a very grim voice, “Yes, I do...” Talia was sad, but she knew that this was inevitable.
Alien supporting groups came out to the street claiming that the lady on the video was the second re-incarnation of Jesus and that she has come to save the world. While Christians believed that she was a heathen and she needed to be put down in the name of Jesus.
Within hours of that video being released, the political situation of the country crashed and the groups started to collide. The government started to send out troops to control the whole situation, while at the same time capture the convicts.
“There is only way this end brother, hand her over to us, and we can put an end to all of this”
Erik was standing there right outside Jacob’s door as he was about to go out.
“You know I can’t do that, I love her…”...Jacob said holding Talia very tightly.
“You have sworn to serve and p
rotect the country! Not a foreign object” Eddie shouted.
Jacob lost his temper and punched Eddie right in his face, “She is not an foreign object, she has a name, and she has done no harm to this country or to humanity and I am not going to let anyone lay a single hand on her…now if you want to try and stop me, you will have to go through my dead body…”
Eddie looked at Jacob; Erik looked at Eddie and helped him get up. “Only for old time’s sake, we are not going to stop you my friend, but you do realize that there is nothing we can do to help right? The government will eventually catch up with you…”
Jacob didn’t say anything and pushed both of them aside, got in his car and started to drive far away towards the harbor.
By now their picture had spread on everybody’s cell phones. While they were trying to pass through the interstate, they were stopped by a radical group who broke the glass of their car and tried to pull her out. Jacob sped past them, but Talia remained much traumatized from that.
Jacob didn’t even stop for any speed breaker or traffic signal, Churches were set to fire and any and every supporter or even a fan of Alien related stuffs were being put into prison or even beaten on sight.
While Jacob was driving the car, Talia slowed everything around her inside her mind; she though that this world is no different from theirs. She though that here, she would find peace and be able to live a normal life. But she soon perceived that this world was not yet ready for her arrival…
While Jacob had plans to smuggle themselves out of the country, Talia had something completely different…
Chapter 11: Time to Leave
Jacob somehow managed to reach the harbor safely; he quickly opened the door for Talia and helped her get down. He held her hand and ran with her towards the boat as fast as possible.
But all of a sudden he was pulled from behind, as a group of people came near Talia and attempted to beat her up. In her self-defense, she let out a very powerful shockwave which catapulted to culprits aside, accidentally killing on them. The others got scared and escaped; Talia sat down on her knees and wept in shock…
