Personal Narrative: An Alien

It was the year 2497. It was just a normal day for me. Until a UFO crashed into the main office building right behind my house. When I ran out to see what was wrong, I saw hundreds of aliens coming out of the open space ship. They were zapping people with their alien fingers. When you got zapped you got turned into an alien too. I was the only person who managed to escape before I got zapped by the aliens. My parents were at work late that day so I never got to see them before or after the invasion. From this day on I will hide from these invaders. I am Lizzy.
It is now the year 2500. I am 13 years old and I am still living a secret life, still running and hiding every day. The aliens are everywhere. Every day, it's getting harder and harder to not be noticed. It doesn't help that the alien leader Zordock has guards everywhere.
Until one day I found him. He changed my whole life. Instead of being alone every day I was with him. He knew more ways around the guards. He was the best thing that had ever happened to my lonely life. His name was Gabe.

Gabe and I did everything together.

He showed me a lot of the underground tunnels . He showed me how to hunt and how to figure out what berries were poisonous and which ones were not. I thought that everything was perfect. Until one day the aliens saw us. I got caught. Gabe managed to get away before they could get to him. The only thing I couldn't figure out was why they did not zap me and instead put me in a basement. I guess that they wanted me to be different so that they could make fun of me and laugh at me like I was some kind of weird exotic animal. If you ask me, I think they are the ones who look weird. They look like some kind of gross green slimy slug alien

thing.
Sure enough, they did make fun of me. Everyday the aliens make fun of me for how I look. They made me their servant. I tried to run away once, but they caught me. Everything was horrible until Gabe showed up and tried to rescue me from the basement of Zordock’s castle.
I heard him yell “I'm coming Lizzy.”
I yelled back “Hurry!”
I saw him come running down the stairs to the basement. There were about 20 guards running after him. The aliens were everywhere we were surrounded. Then Gabe said, “I know a way out of here follow me. ”
“Okay.” I said.
I followed him and he stopped in front of a bookcase.
“Hurry one of these books will open the hidden door. ” He said
We threw all the books off of the shelf until one of them finally opened the door. We ran through the underground tunnel. The tunnel was really dark so the aliens could not see where we went. Thankfully Gabe knew the tunnels well enough that he did not need to be able to see to get us out of there.
Now that all of the aliens know that we are alive and that we are definitely not aliens. It is getting harder to find food and water for us. Zordock sends out guards every day to try to find us. At least Gabe knows more of the underground tunnels than the aliens do so even if we see one he always knows another way out of the tunnels.
“I wish I would have got to see my parents before they got turned into an alien.” I say
“Yeah me too” said Gabe
“Sometimes I still think about them. Do you ever think about your parents?” I ask
“Yeah I think about them a lot.” Gabe sighed.
“Well I Guess we better get some sleep.” I said.
“Okay I will take watch tonight since you did last night.”
“Okay Goodnight” I say.
I finally fell asleep. It’s hard to fall asleep when you know that you have aliens that want to kill you. I woke up once. I had a nightmare that the aliens were taking me away again and that I was stuck in their basement all over again.
In the morning I woke up to see that Gabe was gone. I looked All through the tunnel, but he wasn’t there. I was in a panic. Did he get taken by the aliens? Or worse did they turn him into another alien? I had to find him and I had to find him soon. Without him I would be completely lost in the tunnels.
I finally found him he was out hunting. I yelled at him for scaring me like that. He apologized and we went on hunting and collected berries being careful not to get caught by aliens. If we got caught we would be put into the basement or even worse turned into aliens. If we were turned into aliens, then the whole world would just be all aliens.
We needed a way to find out how to turn the aliens back into people. We went to our old school, but it was turned into a cafeteria for all the aliens in New York city. That idea was gone now that we can not work in the science lab we will have to try to make our own lab.
“How do we do that?” I asked.
“I have no idea.” Gabe said.
“Well , do you know how to even process the aliens to find a way to change them back into humans?” I asked.
“Nope,” said Gabe.
I just gave him a look. Sometimes he is just no help at all. He can actually be a pain in the butt sometimes, but that's just boys for you. One day you love them and then the other you wish they would just shut up and go away.
We decided that we were going to try to attack the head alien Zordock. We got the whole attack planned out. I was going to be the distraction. Gabe was going to be the one who attacked. My job was to distract the guards so they did not see Gabe go in. Once Gabe got inside it was my job to run inside and distract the other guards until Gabe gets all the way to Zordock. Once he gets to Zordock it’s my job to hold off the guards while he kills Zordock. Once he kills Zordock we are going to try to make the other aliens to surrender. If they don't want to surrender, then we will kill them too. Now we just have to put the plan in action.
The plan went exactly as planned, I distracted the guards while he snuck in. Then he got past the other guards without my help. When he got to Zordock the alien leader just stopped and said you win. Gabe and I just stared at him. We were confused, why was he not fighting back? Why did he not zap us?
All he did was say “come here boys.”
All the guards came to him.
“I think we are done here” he said
He lifted off into his space ship the guards following him and with one blinding zap he turned everything back into normal. Everyone was a person again. When we went up to them to ask them what it felt like to be an alien they all just looked at us like we were crazy. They said that they were never aliens and that we were crazy for thinking that they ever were.
We went to my house to my Mom and Dad and asked them the same thing they said that we were crazy also. It was like nothing had even happened. The hole in the Main Office was gone. No signs of aliens were left behind. Except for what was in our memory. We tried to explain to our friends at school, but they did not believe us either. No one would believe us so we stopped trying to make them believe. Maybe it was better off that we were the only ones who knew about the invasion. Maybe we were just the Chosen ones.
