“Holy shit!!!” Yev murmured.
“He is mine?”
Eva was pregnant and they were expecting their first child together. Eva loved their unborn child and Yev swore that he had never been happier in his life. It was just too much happiness and he picked her up and kissed her tummy and then kissed her lips, promising never to let go.
They both sat together on the couch as Eva sat on Yev’s lap and he played with her long hair. He had missed her body and her smile and everything about her. She had given him the best news he could ever hear and Yev trembled at how she would react when he would tell her about their plan.
“How was your mission, Yev?”
“It’s a long story, sweetheart.”
“I have all the time. Tell me from the very beginning. What is the mission and what have you all planned? You’re not going to leave me again, will you?”
He kissed her again because he wanted to show his love before he narrated about the disastrous plan which might just break her little heart.
“Do you love me, Eva?”
“Of course I do.”
“Then, promise me that you are going to hear what I say till the very end. You're not going to judge me; no matter what. I tried my best, but sometimes, things are beyond our control.”
Eva was a little scared at such menacing words bit she nodded. Yev insisted that she had to promise and Eva murmured, “I promise Yev.”
“The resources at Yalvok have depleted and we have no place to thrive. The mission I spoke about was invading earth. We had planned to wipe off the human race with our advanced weapons and then we would settle here by making use of the resources. However, after I met you and saw the world through your eyes, I figured it would be a wrong thing to invade a planet and to kill every species here.
I couldn’t bear the thought of anyone touching you, leave apart killing. I spoke with my troop at Yalvok, but they didn’t hear to my suggestions. The stakes are too high and the need for a new place is very urgent or else our race may face serious consequences. We’re here to destroy the earth, but they have agreed not to touch you. I will impart my shield to you which will help me convert you to an alien power and it will make you one of us. I am sorry love, I tried, but this is the only way we can make it together.”
The moment he finished telling his part of the story, Eva jerked from his lap and looked at him with disgust in his eyes.
“Yev, you came here to kill all of us? That was why you had seduced me on the beach? All of it was a plan, wasn’t it? Get the girl and then wipe off the whole race! I knew you were different and dangerous and unreal, but I never knew Yev that you were so shallow. You've broken my heart.”
She started sobbing and it pierced Yev’s heart to see her so shattered. How things had worsened in such a short time. He had thought that she would understand, but maybe he had guessed it wrong, Eva had a loving family and friends and the thought of losing everything was incomprehensible to her.
“I am sorry Eva. I tried. I tried my best to convince people, but they are a big troop. We don’t have an option.”
“Have you ever thought Yev what will happen to our child? Do you want to play with your unborn child? How are you so sure that your troop will accept me! Will they accept your human child? What am I supposed to do of my family? Forget that they ever existed and be with the guy who would kill them and remove the very trace of their existence? Do you think this is love, Yev? Does love demand people to be changed to a different race? Did I ever ask you to live the life of a human?”
Eva went on and on with too many questions and Yev had answers for none. He realized how awry his assumptions had been. However, the worst realization was that there was no way he could convert Eva to Taltics with an unborn child inside her.
Her conversion to Taltics would be very powerful and painful at the same time. It was one of the biggest transformations and was very challenging. The odds were high that he would lose their little child and the thought was unimaginable.
“Shit! I am sorry Eva. I was a jerk to even think of it. Now that I have my own child at stake, I realized what a mess I have made. This is certainly not the way to go. In order to push the road for our survival, we can’t just kill a race. That would be wrong on so many levels. Trust me I am sorry for it. I will fight for you, for us, for our child. This isn’t going to be an easy battle. But I am going to protect you from every single hand that will try to touch you. I will not let anything happen to you over my guard. This is my promise to you. Eva, I love you and I mean it.”
She looked in his eyes and they were no longer black. They were the same color as hers which meant that he was sincere and honest and she knew that the battle ahead would be very tough, but as long as they had each other, she knew they would see it through.
She smiled and cried together and hugged him, afraid of a tomorrow that might be a bit too dark to see. However, he comforted her and then moved away planning how to avert the combat.
Yev knew that the trouble was about to begin and he tried connecting with some of his best friends from the troop. He explained the details of the plan and even suggested the alternatives. He tried every possible thing so that he could stop the invasion. It was useless to try and attack his own men because he would be outnumbered and shedding his own blood would make his soul damned.
He held Eva’s hand and then saw every single place she had been to and there were quite a lot of them. He traveled the whole of Europe through her vision and when he headed to Asia, he paused. There was an endless expanse of the Himalayas and the snow laden peaks were uninhabited.
The human species could not survive in those chilled temperatures and it was mostly filled with flora and fauna. The mountains were endless and there were ranges which the humans didn’t even know about. Not just that he also saw the endless oceans and the beautiful sea life there. It was the perfect place for the little Taltics to grow up.
As he opened his eyes, he smiled. The plan was ready. The Taltics needed ground and resources and there were parts of the earth which was uninhabited and the two races could exist in unison. The humans didn’t need to know that the Taltics were from outer space.
He smiled and knew that once again, it was Eva who had saved his race. She had saved him and now she was the reason his world would be saved. He teleported back to his planet and shared the vision. Even Xena was convinced this time because no one wanted a blood spill. Destroying a whole race wasn’t something anybody was really keen on doing because, at Yalvok, one of the founding principles stated that, “life comes out of life”. By destroying a life, it was hard to believe that life could thrive.
Yev smiled and was happy. He broke the news to his friends about his little human child and they all congratulated him. After spending some time with his friends, he promised to see them back one earth and he teleported back to Eva’s home.
“Eva, I have come back and I am here to stay. There will be no attack as we will take away parts of the earth which is uninhabited, like those snow covered peaks and the deep blue ocean.”
Eva smiled and kissed him and Yev fell down on his knees and pulled out a little shining bright white diamond and said, “Will you marry me?”
“Yes. Yes. Yes”
The sky smiled as two galaxies became one.

AN ALIEN’S QUEST FOR LOVE
“Etienne, are you crazy? What makes you think, I am ever going to be with you for the rest of my life? You’re a good friend but we are not really compatible. I am looking for someone who could match me.”
“Honey, isn’t love all that matters? I gave my soul to you. That is a proof of the kind of love I have for you. Look in my eyes and you can see the reflection of the deep sea. The depth of my love radiates to you. Is that not enough for you?”
Cecilia looked at him for one last time and her eyes turned dark grey. Etienne’s shoulder slumped because, in Zahari, the land of aliens, d
ark grey eyes reflected a complete lack of emotion.
“Cecilia, I love you. My soul is tied to you. You led me along. What makes you think I am not the one for you?”
Cecilia’s patience had grown very thin and she was disgusted with the constant nagging requests. She threw away the little charm which had Etienne’s soul in it. Such was the disgust and lack of emotions that the charm flew away to a far away land, another galaxy, another planet.
When the heart of an alien broke, the charm was designed to guide him home. Etienne stood there appalled, not knowing what to do as his soul vanished right in front of him and he failed to trace where it landed. Little did he know, the story of his one true soul mate had just begun! His soul would guide him home.
Nothing ever beats the charm of a Friday evening. When you head back from office and you know that the weekend is just right the corner, it gives you a high and there is a smile on your face which just says that you look forward to the time ahead.
Katherine Murray was in her early thirties and despite her unending string of breakups, heartaches and casual flings, she was still to find that one gem of a guy who would prove all her sadistic takes on romance wrong.
She wasn’t really bitter but after being stood up on four dates so far and having dated a guy for seven long months only to later know that he was gay had turned the tables against her. She had a fulfilling career that was growing and she thought that she was happy in her little cocoon. However, it was these Friday nights where she wouldn’t mind a cozy hot body for company, a little peck on the cheeks or maybe even a hot and sensuous kiss.
However, as she wasn’t dating anyone, she decided to hit the beach. There was something very romantic about walking barefoot on the beach. She hugged her Nicholas Sparks novel and wondered if men like the novel really existed.
She often spent her Friday nights walking barefoot and letting the sand dig into her toes and she plugged in her audio book. When she took a walk, she used to hear the audio version of the book and the sexy voice often made her wish that she found someone who could make her feel loved too.
As she was walking down the beach, enjoying her company, her feet hit something. She bent down to take a look and she was amazed to find a beautiful locket. It was unlike any of the pendants she had ever seen because it looked like it was made of some exquisite metal. It wasn’t your usual gold or silver as the locket had a turquoise green touch to it and it was emitting different colors. The shine was so bright that one could feel the reflection of moon in it.
She quickly picked it up and the moment she touched the locket, there was a feeling of tranquility around the beach. If she believed in sorcery and magic, she would have thought that she had found one. However, Katherine knew better than anyone else that magic looked good in books as there was no place in this harsh world for it to thrive.
Yet, she couldn’t stop gazing at the beauty of that little locket. It wasn’t shaped like a heart either. It had a distinct geometrical shape and had some sharp edges at the corner, as if it was protecting something inside.
She tried to open it but it was shut very firmly. She looked around to check if it belonged to someone, but in her heart, she wished that it was one of those souvenirs which you find randomly and keep it as a memory. When she saw that the beach was deserted and there was no one for quite a long distance, she quickly took her chain and slid the pendant over it.
As she slipped on her necklace with the pendant, she started feeling a different kind of energy. It was very hard to explain but there was a kind of movement which made her feel something. She thought that she was dizzy with the drinks she had at the office party and decided to head back home and call it an early night. Her beach had given her a treasure and despite not believing in good luck charm or magic, she just knew that it was one locket she would never part with.
It’s been a month since that walk on the beach and things had been great ever since. The pendant seemed to have brought in good luck as there were more good events that had happened in the last month as compared to her whole year.
She had got that long awaited promotion at her office and her supervisor had left the job. Her supervisor was a terrible person and seeing her go was a welcome respite. The new supervisor always made sure that she was at ease at the workplace.
She was feeling much better about her life. She knew better than most not to believe in things like lucky charm or magic, but a part of her knew that ever since she had slid that pretty pendant on her necklace, things had changed for the good.
Spring season was about to end and the weather was pretty perfect. She was typing her words in the office cabin when she felt a very strong urge to head back to the beach again. It was an incredible feeling and it was very hard to describe why she had such a powerful urge to head there.
She wasn’t the one to leave her work midway simply to unwind at the beach but the desire kept growing. It was like someone was calling to her and no matter how hard she tried; the pull was just too enormous. She absently touched the pendant and she found that it was reverberating. There was a different kind of energy vibration as if something was trying to breakthrough. She quickly gazed at the pendant and she found that the edges were crisscrossed. Something was definitely happening and she wanted to know what was amiss.
She quickly headed to her boss’s desk and asked for a leave citing health reasons. Her boss looked at her and quickly asked her to take care and head back home as one could sense restlessness on her face. She thanked him and left and immediately headed to the beach.
She had no clue what she was looking for but she knew that the answer was out there on the beach. Unlike that evening, the beach was pretty crowded and she tried to scan the different faces, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone or something, but she didn’t know what and how to spot the thing which could make her feel at ease.
Ever since she had reached he beach, she found that her pendant was glowing some kind of light and she decided that it will guide her and help her find what it was seeking. She was petrified as she was confused as to what it was leading to.
She scanned the beach for an hour but the restlessness just kept growing. There was nothing which could comfort her and she wondered if she had been thinking a bit too much. She decided to sit down near the shore and let the sound of the waves relax her.
She slipped off her stilettos and sat at the edge letting the waves wash her feet. The waves allowed her to relax and the tension that had built up started to fade away. She closed her eyes, hoping to get lost in the moment, but the moment she closed her eyes; she saw a vision.
She was standing at the top of a red rock which was surreal. There was nothing at all except for the rock. Something was glowing from a distance but she couldn’t quite understand what it was. She tried to take a look but the thing just kept changing different colors. She looked down and found the same pendant lying down on the rock. As she tried to pick it up, she felt that the pendant was glued to the rock and it was hard to pick it up.
She opened her eyes and couldn’t quite understand what she had just seen. She let her hair down and relaxed, allowing the breeze flow through it.
“Hey gorgeous!” she turned back at the beautifully sexy voice and found one of the most amazing guy ever. He was wearing a red polo tee and ripped jeans. He had a laid back attitude and he had red curly hair. His eyes were both blue and green which was surreal, thrilling and appealing. His lips were bright red and luscious and the muscles on his body was just perfect. He looked like he had just walked out of a big shot Hollywood movie and she had a lot of trouble staying in place.
Merely looking at him made her wish how it would feel to touch him and to be touched back. She was so busy fantasizing about him that she forgot to respond. He looked at her again and said something which Katherine failed to hear.
After about a few minutes, she realized that she had been shamelessly staring and fantasizing at the random stranger and she blushed.
“Hi, I am
Katherine Murray”
“Hey, I am Etienne Sinclair. I saw you lost in your thoughts while gazing at this beach and you made a very pretty picture and I couldn’t resist myself. So, I did this.”
He showed her a portrait which had captured her true beauty. She was amazed at the kind of detailing which the portrait had. It was like he could see the insides of her mind and it was as realistic as a picture could get.
She asked him to sit down and thus started a story, which she knew would last for a really long time. The pendant had grown quite still and she smiled because she knew that the pendant was guiding her to the real man of her dreams.
“Your name is very sexy and so are you.” Katherine put her hands on the mouth because she had to say that the man was having some kind of an impact on her mind. She usually wasn’t the one to flirt so shamelessly with guys she had barely met, but this handsome hunk was all kinds of dangerous. He looked like he was a walking secret and someone who had a lot of mysteries hidden beneath those alluring eyes. She wanted to be the one who could unveil all those layers beneath and could see him for who he truly is.
Their conversation continued and they spoke about a lot of mundane stuff. Katherine realized that she was visibly relaxed with this strange guy and she thought that it would be good to meet him again. She wasn’t seeing anyone at the moment and the thought of dating Etienne looked like a dream come true. They decided to meet over coffee the next day.
That night when she went to bed she saw a strange dream again. It was again related to the pendant but it was hard to comprehend what exactly it meant. When she woke up, she was a little tired as she hadn’t slept properly. She had tossed and turned the whole night, but she remembered her meeting with Etienne and she found herself smiling all over again.
She remembered that she had a coffee date with him at 7 PM and she decided to wrap up her work quickly so that she could come back home, get ready and meet him. She wanted to look her best because Etienne was a showstopper and she wanted him to look at her like she was beautiful too.
