Chapter 1 Meteorite
During a normal day at a boarding school things where pretty well, unfortunately they weren't so well for a student named Anna. Anna was in her Japanese class where she and her other classmates were learning how to speak the Japanese language. However she wasn't really paying attention to what the teacher was saying. She was just staring out of the window with a depressed look on her face.
"Hey Anna!" The teacher called out to get Anna's attention.
"Huh? Oh yes Mr. Fumito?" Anna asked.
"Please translate the following text from Japanese to English." Fumito requested.
"Alright sure thing sir." Anna said then got up and started reading from her book.
"I feel as though my world is ending. I can't focus on anything, but them. My mind is always on them. I wish something could change, that I could restart my life so then I could maybe find myself again." Anna read perfectly translating the text in her book.
She then sat back down in her seat and waited for what her teacher would say about her reading.
Fumito smiled and said "Great job, looks like you're paying attention to my lesson."
Anna smiled slightly but it soon went back to a frown and she looked back out the window.
'Today's the day... I'll see you two after school, mom, dad.' Anna thought to herself.
Half an hour later and the school bell rang, so all the students got up, packed up their notes, and books, then filed out of the classroom.
"And students remember your homework assignment is to translate the first four pages of chapter 12 from Japanese to English. I hope you all can do it and I expect no excuses for those who didn't try and do theirs." Fumito explained as he started reading.
Anna wasn't worried about her homework as it was simple enough for her, as her mother was from Japan. So she had taught Anna some Japanese as a way for her to be close to her heritage. However Anna was thinking about something more important than her homework as today was a day that reminded her of things she'll never be able to do again.
"Hey Anna! Wait for me!" Anna heard a male voice call out to her.
She turned around and saw her crush Vincent running up to her.
"Oh hey Vinc, how are you today?" Anna asked.
"I'm alright, hey you good? You've been pretty depressed today, and more so than you've normally been since you've been enrolled here." Vincent stated.
"I'm fine physically but today just brings back lots of emotions, that's all." Anna explained.
"Alright, well a new Pancake place opened and I thought I'd treat you to some while we worked on our homework together." Vincent explained.
"Sorry not today, I'm not feeling it right now, how about tomorrow?" Anna asked.
"Alright sure I can work with my brother then, and I hope you'll feel better soon." Vincent said before walking away.
Anna just sighed again before she continued on her way, however as she was walking another female student walked by her and purposely bumped into her hard.
"Ow! Hey that hurt you know." Anna said.
"Sorry it was an accident." The girl said angrily before continuing on her way.
Anna would normally say something but today she just didn't want to, right now she had to be somewhere else. So she just continued walking till she found her way out of the school building. She made her way to a nearby bus stop and sat down on the wooden bench.
As she sat there and waited she pulled out her phone and started looking through some pictures she had. While she was looking her phone started ringing and she saw that it was her aunt calling her. So she picked up to see what her aunt had to say as they haven't spoken in almost a week.
"Hey Anna, how are you doing at school?" Anna's aunt asked.
"I'm fine, my classes are going well and I'm getting good grades." Anna explained.
"Hehe what do I expect, you're my brother's daughter so you'd be just like him. He was always a good student back in school... sorry I haven't talked to you in a while. Work has been crazy and Mom and dad need as much care as possible." Anna's aunt explained.
"I know Grandma is old and can't take care of herself, while Grandpa is paralyzed from the neck down, so you've been really busy." Anna explained.
"Thanks for understanding, I hope to see you on the weekend. I really miss you." Anna's aunt said.
"Me too, and I can't wait to make cookies with Grandma and hear what stories grandpa has to tell from his days as a war veteran." Anna explained.
"Hehe yeah he loves to tell them... I gotta go, a client is here so I'll talk to you later." Anna's aunt said.
"Alright talk to you later, I love you." Anna said.
"Love you dear, See you soon." Anna's aunt said before hanging up.
Anna looked at her phone sadly and thought about her family. She felt bad for not being able to help her aunt out with things at home. However due to her own mental issues and education there wasn't much she could do. She then heard a horn honking and when she looked up she saw that the bus had arrived.
So she got up off the bench, grabbed her backpack, and went in the big, humming bus. When she got in she tried to find an open seat, however to her dismay all the seats were already occupied. So she just decided to stand and hold on to the metal bars in the bus.
When she grabbed onto a metal bar she held her backpack so it covered up her back end. Her mother told her that when she takes public transport and she has a bag, to always use it to cover her private parts. That prevented any pervert trying to touch her and it had always worked so she never had any problem when she used the bus.
The bus doors then closed and Anna felt it shake as it started moving again. Anna held on tight as the bus rattled and shook as it moved on the concrete road.
As it moved Anna started off into space not really paying attention to the other passengers as they bumped into her when the bus shook. It didn't bother her in the slightest as she was only listening to the sounds around her. The humming of the bus, the crying of a baby, the taping of fingers on phones and the bus intercom telling them where their next stop was.
After what felt like hours Anna heard the bus intercom beep and say *Now arriving at Birch Wood Cemetery.*
'Oh my stop, well time to go see them finally.' Anna thought to herself.
She waited till the bus came to a complete stop and the doors opened. When the doors opened Anna and some other passengers got off. After getting off the bus Anna made her way to a pair of Gravestones that were in the center of the grave yard.
"Hey Mom, dad sorry I haven't been here in a while, School has been keeping me busy. Auntie, Grandma, and Grandpa have also been doing well but it hasn't been the same." Anna said to her parents gravestones.
Both her mother and Father were killed in a plane crash as they were heading to Japan to visit her mothers family. Anna didn't go with them as she had a very important exam that week, so she was unable to go. While she was thankful she didn't go she wished that her parents had gone at a different time as she missed them greatly.
Her aunt and grandparents were the only other relatives in the US who could take her in. Unfortunately with her aunt's job and Grandparents age none of them could give her the care she needed. So they enrolled her in the local boarding school hoping that it'd be best for her due to their inability to care for her.
It was a pretty good decision and Anna did love her school, but she always felt so lonely after her parents passed. Today was also their anniversary and Anna always came to the graveyard to visit them and just talk. While she did enjoy her school life, she was so bored with everything and just wished that something would change.
"Mom dad If I'm being honest, after you two died things have become so boring. I miss you both so much, and I don't know what I'm going to do with my life when I graduate from high school. While I am enjoying my Karate club I don't know if I could use that to make a living. Plus I'm only learning it to defend myself for the future... sometimes I wish things could be more interesting." Anna said to her parents grave stones.
A chilly wind then blew and Anna shivered a little before tightening her school uniform a bit.
"Off okay a little cold today, then again it's almost fall, so what do I expect?" Anna asked herself out loud.
She stayed seated in the same spot for a while, till she got bored and decided to start her homework. So she got up and walked into the nearby woods to be alone as there were other people around and she worked best when she was alone. She walked for a bit till she arrived in a clearing and sat down next to a big pine tree. Anna then took out her note book and Japanese book, she then began to translate the pages Mr. Fumito assigned.
(An hour later)
After working for an hour Anna started to feel a bit hungry, so she reached into her backpack and took out a brownie she had left over from lunch. She opened up the plastic packet and started eating the sweet chocolate brownie. As she ate she saw a light coming from above, she looked up and saw something rapidly approaching earth.
Anna's eyes widened instantly when she saw that the object was approaching the area she was in. With fear coursing through her veins Anna rapidly grabbed her things and didn't bother putting them into her backpack as she ran. Whatever that thing that was approaching earth was she didn't want it hitting her.
The thing soon collided with the ground causing a huge earthquake and wave that threw down almost everything in range. Anna was also thrown to the ground as she was hit by the intense wave and the earthquake did not help her in keeping her balance.
Anna just sat on the ground dazed as both her body and mind processed everything. Her mind and body soon became easier and Anna slowly got up, however she was still shaken up and was struggling to stand up.
"Ugh what the hell was that?!" Anna asked herself as she looked back.
She saw some trees where either forced out of the ground, burned, or had moved slightly from the impact. Anna, curious to see what had just crashed on earth, cautiously made her way to the thing itself. She didn't know if it was a meteor or a satellite that had crashed on earth, but she felt like she needed to know.
"Once I see what it was, I should call up some pros and have them assess the damage. And thank god that no fire was started, it seems like that crazy wave had put out any fire that was on the trees." Anna said as she looked at the burns that were on the ground.
After taking about fifteen steps Anna arrived at a big crater that was in the ground. She saw that something was smoking in the center of it and she believed that was what crashed on earth.
"What the hell?! What is that?" Anna asked herself.
She then jumped into the crater and slid down into it but made sure to be slow as she didn't know what it was. Anna's shoes scraped on the now charcoal black dirt that also had ashes on it. She soon got to the bottom of the crater and cautiously made her way to what was in its center.
However whatever it was, it was smoking so it was kinda hard for her to see what it was. Thankfully fate itself decided to show her instead as the thing made a beep. Anna froze in place as the thing then released some gas and opened up.
Anna squinted her eyes to get a better look inside and what she saw made her wish she didn't eat that brownie just now.
Inside was a corpse that she didn't even know what! The corpse smelled awful and made Anna sick to her stomach but she wondered where the hell it came from and what the hell it was.
"Ugh! That smells awful! What is that thing though?! Is that an alien? No that can't be possible?! Aliens don't exist right? They're all Sci Fi fantasy right?" Anna asked herself as she backed away from the corpse.
As she was backing away she saw something start to move within the body. She looked and saw a neon green blob coming out of the alien's chest. The blob looked at the alien and touched the top of its head and Anna heard it say something in a different language.
She stood there frozen to the spot as she watched the interaction with the blob and dead alien. A tickle then entered Anna's nose and she felt a sneeze coming, she tried desperately to hold back as she didn't want to alert the blob of her presence.
Unfortunately she was unable to hold back the sneeze and the noise alerted the blob's attention. The blob turned around and saw Anna standing there not too far away from it.
Anna felt her heart start racing as she stared back at the blob thing, waiting for its next move. The blob then lunged at her, she screamed and ran away as the blob tried to seemingly attack her.
Anna scrambled up the crater in an attempt to get out and get away from what everything was. The blob meanwhile kept on trying to get to Anna however she was very quick and managed to do it again. Anna managed to pull herself up and out of the crater and started running away from that thing.
'WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT THING?!' Anna asked herself as she ran to get her stuff and get out of here.
The blob meanwhile also managed to get out of the canyon and chased after Anna. Anna soon ended up tripping on an upturned root she didn't see and ended up eating some dirt and burnt grass. She pushed herself up and spat the dirt and grass out of her mouth before gagging at it.
"Ugh! God dammit! That was gross!" Anna exclaimed as she spat.
She then heard something slithering up right behind her. Anna's eyes widened and she wiped around to see the green blob thing had followed her out of the canyon. Anna shot up and tried to run but the blob was faster and managed to jump on her. Anna screamed as she tried to get it off but it managed to avoid her hands. It then formed a sharp metallic point and stabbed it right in the center of Anna's chest, in between her breasts.
"AHHH! WAHT THE FUCK?!" Anna screamed in pain as she tried to pull the blob off of herself.
The blob however borrowed itself into her chest, Anna stumbled and fell back as she tried to pull it off. She then once again tripped on another upturned root and ended up hitting her head on a rock. Anna only heard ringing in her ears as she slowly felt her consciousness leave her.
Then two figures started running up to Anna, she felt one of them grab onto her and ask if she was alright. However Anna was unable to answer as she felt herself slip unto darkness. The last thing she heard was someone yelling "CALL 911!" before darkness came to her.
(Two weeks later)
Anna groaned as she slowly regained her consciousness. The first thing she heard when she woke up was the annoying beeping of the heart monitor.
However the beeping was thankfully not the only nose she started hearing as she heard wheels gently rolling on the ground. She also heard the gentle pitter patter of shoes on the floor and the chattering of nurses, patients, and doctors.
Soon Anna fully regained her consciousness and she saw that she was in the hospital. Anna sat up slowly and groaned in pain as she felt like her skull was smashed with a cinder block.
"Ugh what in the world? What happened? I feel awful." Anna said quietly.
"ANNA! YOU'RE ALRIGHT!" Anna heard a familiar voice scream.
She looked to her left and saw her grandparents and aunt all sitting next to her.
"Oh hey Auntie, Grandma, Grandpa. W-what happened?" Anna asked.
"A meteor landed right where you were, while it didn't hit you, you were found unconscious." Anna's aunt explained.
"Oh really... oh yeah I remember now." Anna said as she started remembering parts of the event.
"Hey Anna do you remember anything else strange happening there before you lost consciousness?" Anna's grandma asked.
"Ugh not really, I must've hit my head pretty hard, it feels like someone smashed my skull with a cinder block." Anna explained.
"Well the doctor said no serious damage was done so that's all that matters." Anna's grandpa explained.
"Yeah I guess that's true." Anna said.
The family continued talking till visiting time ended, so once that time came, Anna gave her family hugs and kisses before saying goodbye to them. Later on the doctor examined her to make sure that there is certainly nothing wrong with her. He didn't find anything unusual or different about Anna from any other human so he felt like she was clear.
So it was decided that Anna could leave the hospital the next day but should come back again if she starts experiencing any problems. So once the doctor left Anna laid back down and was about to go back to sleep.
However before she fully fell asleep she heard a male voice say "Sorry for making you sleep for this long, I just needed to adjust to your species. We'll get more acquainted later, for now just rest."
