Chapter 5: A Serious Misunderstanding


With Peter and his wife in tow, we continued flying above the city. While we weren't as close to the ground as before, we still could see the emptiness below. Did the whole city turn into zombies? There's no one down there. I guess the zombies have somewhere better to be. While we were flying, a look of worry swept through Jessica's face.

"Jessica, you okay?" I asked quietly.

"Rain, look" She said, gesturing to the ground below. My eyes turn to where she gestured and found a stunning sight. Down below, a huge hoard of zombies crowded around the gates of the mayor's house. Desperately, they latch onto the wide gate and try to pull it apart. However, from what I could see, the zombies didn't have any luck. But then again, zombies aren't known for their phenomenal strength.

"Jessica? You think there are survivors down there?" Jessica shrugged.

"You want to investigate?" It would be nice to find more survivors. But what if we're too late? I shake my head. It's too risky to try to find them. Plus, this ship is small. We won't be able to accommodate any more people. Jessica silently nods and takes us away. I would love to help, but I don't want to take any unnecessary risks. As we fly away, the city starts to become a distant view. A distant, yet desolate view. This is what would happen if the Plexions invade Earth. After we land, I will surrender and be taken to the Plexions. I can't just hide while Earth gets destroyed. If there's any chance to prevent any more outbreaks like at the city, I will have to go up to them. Even though I know in my heart they won't honor their end of the bargain. Suddenly, the ship jerks violently. In the back, Peter and his wife are thrown to the ground.

"Are you okay?" I yell.

"Yeah, me and Molly are fine." I turn toward them then turn back to Jessica. Frantically, Jessica hits several buttons.

"What's going on?!" Jessica turns toward me.

"We're being shot at." What?! Shot at?! By who?! I ask Jessica and she pushes a button that activates a small screen. On this screen is a helicopter. I look at it and find the UCA emblem on it. The government? Oh no! They must think we're Plexions!

"Stop right there or we will fire!" Oh no! This is not good!

"Wait! We're human!" Jessica says frantically. Her voice quaking into the speaker.

"Human? Yeah sure. What would a human be doing with a Plexion ship?" A Plexion ship? How would they know we were riding in a Plexion ship? Instantly, an answer came to me. That voice sounds familiar, could it be?

"Tristan?" I ask into the speaker.

"Rain?" He says back. So it is Tristan! He's okay!

"Tristan, you're okay! Thank goodness! Do you know how worried I've been? Where have you been?" I ask, my voice stern.

"That's a long story Rain. I'll tell you it when we reach to UCA camp. And sorry about the confusion. With Mordecai's invasion message and the outbreak, it's been a long day." I nod, yes it has.

"That's okay. I'm just glad you're okay. Where is this UCA camp?"

"Follow us" The helicopter behind us suddenly rushed ahead. We followed them, and got to the camp without any complications. However, despite our smooth trip, we didn't know what the UCA wanted with us. But we were about to find out.
