The Girl Who Fell
Chapter 1
Nixieldianda, or Nixie, as she likes to be called, lives on Planet Zelia. Her family, rather large, consists of two brothers, Lex and Calo, two sisters Reyaland and Zina , a mother, Jysp, and a father, Creeo. Although, being related doesn't mean that they have to be like each other.
Lex and Calo, twins at the age of nineteen, were the smart ones. They liked to create and invent. They looked exactly alike, with blood red hair and pale skin. They had gray eyes, and you'd think that one of them was a clone if you'd never known them....However, we still don't know if one or both of them are a clone after the incident of last year.
Reyaland had purple hair and pink eyes. She was only five, but she loved to paint. Her memory was extraordinary, able to create images from remembering.
Zina was just a baby, her blond hair sparkling while her black eyes glistened. Her power was unknown, the children surrounding her everyday to get a glance and witness her transformation.
Nixie was fourteen, with beautiful green, glowing hair that fell across her back. Her eyes were the most colorful blues, dark and intimidating, yet mysterious and full of curiosity at the same time. Her power? Magic. If you looked closely at her eyes, you could see galaxies, stars, supernovas, because she could see through time and space. At first she had a hard time trying to take control over her ability. She would receive massive headaches, and scream out in pain until the point in which she would pass out. Finally, after her second year of having these powers, she took over, able to control.

"Today, I made a mistake. This is the day that I leave my family...."
"Forever."
Chapter 2
"Mother," Calo spoke. "Lex and I shall go off, now."
"Fantastic. Send me holograms!" She responded. Her chopped, spiky, black hair and green eyes made her look stunning, with her pale complexion and markings.
All Zelians had markings. They were vast, but most showed on their faces, stretching down to their arms.
Reyla was playing with Zina, shaking rattles and showing the baby the miniature stars floating around the room. They were small enough and preserved with magic so they could not get burns from the intense coldness or heat of the stars.
"Yes, mother," Lex assured her. "Remember, it's only a millennium, we'll be back before you know it." And with that, the twin brothers vanished from thin air in a blue light.
"Nixie," Father yelled. "How many times have I told you not to light your sister's hair on fire?"
"It doesn't actually burn her," Nixie argued, crossing her arms across her chest. She wore a brown dress, while a butterfly necklace glowed around her neck. Her markings were black, curving around her face and stopping in the middle of her back. There were also marks on her arms, lines of intricate designs.
"Go to your capsule," her father demanded.
Nixie glared at him for a moment before walking away. Then she remembered:
She could run away.
Lex and Cal had been building teleport devices, but they weren't quiet ready to use yet. She could run away to see her brothers, or maybe hide out on the planet they're on, Raxicor.
Silently creeping through the corridor, she opened the door to the boys' room. It was littered with gadgets and tech way beyond other planets' time, while Nixie nearly got her head chopped off by a robotic Okie, similar to a dragon but made of metal and was blind. Nixie grabbed a teleport off the floor, as well as some other things, stuffing them into a glowing box, and ran to her room. The box followed her, and she snapped making it disappear.
"Alright," she breathed, "I can finish this up quickly. Just a little magic-" she hovered her hand over the watch-looking device. It sparked, surprising her, but she was oblivious as her main reason right then was to get out.
"Nixie?" Her father called from behind the door. She scrambled to turn the power on, and she almost had it.
"Nixie, I apologize for yelling," Father spoke. "It's just-" he opened the door and Nixie's eyes grew wide. She pressed the button and screamed as she felt as if it were tearing her to pieces.
"NO!" Father shouted, trying to save his daughter.
But all he grabbed was air.

"There's a huge storm coming," Lila stated. She put her brown hair into a ponytail as her blue eyes scanned the computer. "It's impossible."
"What? What is it?" Questioned Felix. His black hair fell into his green eyes, and he peered over the girl's shoulder to look at the oncoming storm.
"Leave it alone." An older man, looking to be in his forties, stood to the side, cleaning a telescope. "It's New York. We get storms."
"No, Arthur. I'm talking much worse," Lila continued. "It's off the the charts." She turned the laptop, so that it was facing Arthur. "Look."
He glanced at it and huffed. "What? Are you pulling some kind of prank? No way that's real."
It took him a second before his eyes widened and he snapped back, grabbing the computer to check again.
"By GODS!" He exclaimed.
"Let's go check it out," Felix suggested. He grabbed a video recorder and and ran to the van, followed by the other two.
They made their way to a clearing.
"Strange," Lila mumbled. "Does anyone else notice the storm is only right here?"
Suddenly, a big crack of lightning and a giant boom erupted from the clouds. Something fell from it, looking like a helpless bird.
"What was that?" Yelled Felix over the wind.
"I don't know," Lila responded. "I'm going to go check it out!"
"Be careful!" Arthur shouted. "It could be dangerous."
Lila rolled her eyes and grabbed the camera, which was still recording.
"I'm Meteorologist Lila, here with my team. Something just fell from the sky and I'm checking it out right now."
She handed it back to Felix, walking for about a hundred yards before stopping in the middle of the field. Her look went from curious, to confused, to surprise, finally ending in shock.
"CUT THE CAMERA!" She yelled. Both men jumped out of the vehicle and ran towards her.
"What's the problem?" Arthur questioned.
"See for yourself."
In the middle of a giant hole of burned grass lay a young girl. She was on her side, curled up in a ball.
"Who is she?" Arthur gasped.
"I don't know," Felix answered, "But I'm sure as Hell she's not from around here."
Chapter Three
Lila leaned down to check on the girl.
"She's still breathing! Come on, help me pick her up. We need to get her to a hospital."
Felix looked at her hesitantly, then glance at the young girl in Lila's arms. "But what if she is....you know, alien?"
"I highly doubt she is," Lila responded, although she didn't sound so sure herself. "But even if she is, we don't know how to take care of her. She could have broken bones or something."
The whole trip to the hospital, Felix stared at the girl who lay in the back of the van, on the floor. Lila was sitting next to him, while Arthur drove. Even though he didn't was to sit next to the mysterious child, Lila snapped and forced him to.
Finally making it to the ER, they picked her up again, running inside.
"We need help!" Lila yelled. Everyone looked towards them.
"What's the-" a nurse with black hair walked up to them. When her brown eyes trailed over the markings on the girl's body, she glanced at a doctor behind her, and nodded. Immediately, the doctor walked away, grabbing his iPhone and calling someone. She followed, replaced by a man with short brown hair and blue eyes.
Setting her down on a gurney, the nurse checked the child's heart.
"Impossible," he laughed.
"What?" Questioned Felix.
"Two hearts!"
He took a blood sample and then wheeled her into a private room, where they scanned her and bandaged the wounds.
Two hours of suspenseful silence later, a group on men wearing black suits entered. As if on command, the nurse motioned for them to follow, while he kept a serious expression on his face.

At first, everything was blurry. As Nixie blinked, she tried to rub her eyes, but realized that she had wires connected to her arms. Sitting up, she tried to pull them off, succeeding in only a few, before she noticed there were others in the room.
"Hello," a man stood by the side of the bed she lay in. Nixie, not yet understanding where she was, just looked around and brushed a strand of green hair out of her face. The man had icy blue eyes and pale skin, as well as a short brown haircut.
"Do you understand me?" He questioned. "I'm Agent Jameson. You're on planet Earth, in America."
They all looked at her expectantly, as if thinking she'd answer.
Oh, she thought. Yes, I know how to speak the languages of Earth.
She cleared her throat and sat cross-legged on the bed. "Hello."
Some of the men looked surprised, but Jameson just smiled.
"And what's your name?"
"Nixieldianda," she responded. "But I like to be called Nixie."
"Well then, Nixie," Jameson spoke. "Would you please come with me so we can talk?"
She glanced around the room, and nervously took his hand as she gave a quick nod.
Exiting the room, she saw two men and a woman sitting in chairs, reading. Her bare feet left a cold chill to run up her back.
When the people noticed her, they immediately stood up, staring as she walked bye.
"Nixie," Jameson started, "these are the people who found you and helped you. This is Felix, Arthur, and Lila."
"Hello," Nixie greeted quietly, staring at Lila curiously.
Lila stared back, a bit nervous as she glanced at Felix. Nixie motioned for Lila to come closer, and then whispered in her ear.
"Come along, Nixie," Jameson spoke. But she ignored him, and finally Lila took a cautious step forward.
"Don't move," Nixie breathed.
"What? What's that supposed to mean?"
But before Lila could try to get more information, Nixie was shuffled out of the room and outside.
