THE RETURN

"Tears are the words, heart can't say.."

The alien monster had terrified everyone as it roared loudly, standing at the top of the tower, trying to break it down into pieces.

It got successful as the sparks flew into distance, the light beam vanished and the tower fell down breaking into pieces followed by everyone screaming in shock and pure horror.

The creature too fell down with a loud thud, but immediately got up and snarled, following the humans around that were still running, trying to find cover.

Anna was watching the creature with wary from her hiding spot, which was behind a few storage boxes. From the corner of her eye, she saw Judy accompanied with her father, John, approaching her.

Judy was taking long breaths to calm her down. She had always been a very good runner and knew how to manage her breathing when necessary.

John, who was a Navy Seal, know how to handle such situations and was trained for it. Anna, had never actually been in a situation like this like the most, just stayed quiet and thought.

She have had many fight trainings and matches, and with her powers being a contributing factor, maybe she could fight it but would need a help, as she didn't really had the exact required energy to fight an unknown, alien creature with sharp teeth, a long tail, she was sure would hit hard along with fangs and sturdy body, after the light summoning.

The three found their eyes widening when they saw Penny go to tent to hide, unaware of the fact that the creature had seen her. They made a silent agreement to follow her and help her out and get her safe.

Moving with creating as less sound as possible they reached the opposite of the tent at which the creature was standing beside.

To make the situation worse, the radio created a sound which turned out to be from the resolute, belonging to captain radic. Realizing that the creature would have gotten alarmed the three thought of something quick just as Penny turned the radio off from inside.

The three were fortunate enough that Anna had a small knife with her. Anna took the pocket knife out from her pocket and slit the tent open to reach Penny. The sudden action apparently scared Penny, who screamed, thinking it was the creature.

"Anna." Penny sighed in relief when she realized who it was.
"Its okay Penny. I got you. Come on!" Assured John and took penny's hand making a run for it.

Just as they ran to get to a safe spot, the creature cut the tent open with one of the horns on its back and followed the four.

The creature emerged out of the tent. John stood in front of the three girls protectively trying to scare the creature with the knife in his hand he took from Anna. The creature slowly walked to the four as they took a few steps back.

"Dad why aren't we running?" Questioned Penny, scared as the creature glared at them with its big red eyes.

"If we turn our backs, we haven't got a chance." John warned softly.

The creature walked closer and roared at the four humans infront of it.
"You see this?" Said John, raising the knife in his hand a little.

An idea quickly came into Anna's mind. It maybe would scare the creature and it would leave them alone. Anna opened her palm and within a second a red blazing flame of fire summoned in her hand.

Anna waved her hand near it's face and it took a few steps back, probably scared of the fire. It didn't last long as the creature got a hold of himself and roared loudly at them, trying to avoid the fire but, it was working a little.

The creature ran forward its mouth open, ready to attack but, it wasn't able to reach them. It got pushed into the side by someone and the four looked in shock to see who it was.

They laid their eyes at the source of the push and found robot standing there, his blue lights swirling in his face. Anna disappeared the fire from her hands with a smile as she looked at the robot who came to save them.

A silence fell upon the field, it was all too quiet. Anna knew that every survivor was looking at the robot, not knowing what to think about it.

Some may have thought that it came to save them from the alien animal but still there a question though, why? Or it had really come to save them or attack them. Maybe some may have joined a few pieces together and figured out the similarities between the robot and the ones who attacked them on the resolute, if that is they knew they were attacked in the first place.

Anna decided not to think about it and pushed away the thought. It would be dealt with later. Now they had bigger problems.

The silence was broken by the creature as it stood back up and snarled. It all turned worse when another same creature came into the view roaring. Everyone looked at the two creatures and robot wondering what would happen next.

"You've got to be kidding me." Judy sighed looking as there were now two of it. The two animals walked closer to the robot surrounding him.

"Run now." Told John and pulled Anna back with them who was watching the robot with worry and wanted to help him.

"Hey! Anna, robinsons over here." Called don, waving them over to where he was hiding and watching the scene.

John, Penny and Judy along with Anna ran to stand beside don behind a few boxes. They all witnessed the scene, robot laid prostate on the ground while the two brutal creatures kept on picking on his metal body with its paws and mouth.

Out of a sudden, both creatures got raised up from the ground for about two to three feet. A few mouths opened in shock as both the similar creatures' bodies turned upside down and then fell to the ground with a loud thud.

The animals snarled, probably confused. There could have been three explanations for this unusual event; one, that the humans' eyes were decieveing them, two, the robot who laid there had some alien powers, and lastly three, a young twelve year old girl of the 24th colonist group who had supernatural powers did that with telekinesis.

It wouldn't take a genius to understand that Anna windsor did that. Anna hoped that no one would wonder that why she was helping the unknown robot.

The girl's lip curled upwards into a satisfactory smile when she saw that robot got the time to get up after the creatures brutally attacked him while the animal tried to get up as they lay on the ground.

The relief only lasted a minute when the two creatures jolted up and scratched robot. What no one knew then that a 12 year old boy, who was somehow connected to the robot, worried for him, his family and his friend, got out of the jupiter, where he was hiding.

"Fight back. You have to bad. Fight back." Encouraged the scared young boy, for the sake of his alien friend.

Just before the creatures could hurt the robot more after the distraction Anna created,the blue lights suddenly changed to a bright red. Everyone watched scared but also somewhat curiously as the robot's body reformed itself, now having four arms.

The fight didn't last for long when the robot pushed both the creatures really hard. Everyone raised up from the crouched positions when there was no movement in the animals.

The people were digesting the events that took place and stared at the robot is surprise and fear. The robot who was now bad as he was before turned at sound and raised one of his arms to attack them.

Anna was watching the robot cautiously and then Will jumped in front of the robot before he could attack the other fellow survivors.

"No!" Came both Will's and Anna's voice together. Will stopping robot from attacking and Anna yelling at Will not to do anything stupid, even though she trust him she was still scared for him as he stepped in front of the robot.

What shocked everyone that, Will actually managed to calm the robot down by whispering some words to him and saw as the robot changed back, his body of the shape of a human now.

The robot's redy light, which represented anger, rage, evilness, swirling like a storm changed to a blue one, calm, kind, good, as calm as the see.

Slowly people started to get out form their hiding spots, trying to ignore the presence of an alien robot. After the events and not to mention the tiredness after working the whole day, they decided to talk about the robot the next day.

Anna walked to Will where he stood with robot, his father and sisters not far. Anna went up to the her friend and brought him in a hug relieved to see he was safe and sound. Will smiled, happy to see his best friend as well and hugged her back.

"Are you okay?" Asked Anna once they pulled back.
"Yes I am. Are you?"
"Of course." She smiled and turned her attention to the robot as Will hugged his family.

"I'm glad your back." Said Anna, grinning at the robot. She observed his lights and it looked he was saying something, she just couldn't understand it.

***

One of the sad truths about life is that, things don't always go as planned. She could have never imagined that fate would bring her at this position.

Everything happens for a reason, Anna always believed that and tried to see things from a positive outlook. But now, she couldn't see any reason why she had lost her family, her everything.

Time really does go by fast when one is having fun but when it's the other way around, its sad how depressing it is. Those hours start feel like a hundred years.

Those times, when you are not really alone but, still lonely. When you want to be left alone but at the same time  need someone, desperately. When you need someone to talk to but, you know that no one would understand your pain or you wouldn't be able to put it in words.

Its all a conundrum.

Anan wished for the pain to go away. Her body didn't hurt, her mind did, her heart did. It was unexplainable that how suddenly her smile changed to a frown.

How just in a matter of seconds, the happiness went away completely and got replaced with sadness and grief. It felt like all the happiness and gone from the world.

Anna stared at the picture in her hand which included her family and her. Oh how happy they looked, smiling at the camera. She remembered the day, the picture got clicked. Why did it have to be that way, she would never understand. No matter how much she wished to have them back, she knew it wasn't possible.

The happiest memories now were the ones that would bring tears to the eyes.
