3: Night of the comet

Mum! Today's my birthday! What did you get for me?"

"Uh...My child....don't be in a haste....your dad will be back soon, he's with the presents we got for you"

"Really mum! Did he get me a toy car? Video game? What? What?!"

"Haha haha.. If I tell you, then it won't be a surprise....so be patient okay?"

..........

He lay on the roof looking up at the sky with both hands supporting his head.

He heard all they said. They were in the house on which he lay on.

One would wonder how he heard all they said clearly but for him, it was perfectly normal.  Because he could hear from afar. It wasn't that special to him.

He stared at the starry night as he sighed.

The night seemed perfect. With the full moon and star. What a scenario.

But it wasn't gonna be that perfect tonight because he could see it coming.

From afar into the sky....he could sight it. This was one of those nights when it came.....and when it did....things would instantly turn ugly.

There it was. He saw it pass, it was it. So fast, so pretty in the night sky but so dangerous. Tonight, again was the night of the comet.

Slowly, he sighed, closing his eyes. A few seconds later, he opened it and it had gone blue.

It was absurd but it was for real! He wasn't a human neither was he an android, but an Alien!

What could an alien be doing here on earth you may ask. But it wasn't as if this guy had any choice.

He was an alien from the planet PLUTO. He had crashed with a comet and crash-landed on earth on that very night of the comet years back and is now trapped on earth.

Coming to this strange land, this mystical being had taken the form of a human. A man, a fine young man who seemed to be in his early twenties.

He had black hair and beautiful eyes. One could easily get lost in those eyes for it was indeed mysteriously handsome. we could say it was a Sexy cat eye!

Generally, he was handsome with calm and cold facial expressions and tall.

Disguised as a human, this magical being had roamed the earth looking for a means to go back but it seemed impossible. so for the meantime, he had to stay alive. And to do this he had to kill.

Killing humans every night of the comet as a mystical urge of the comet ( which suddenly began happening often!) and bringing destruction to earth was like his meal. His source of staying alive on this strange land.

FIVE MINUTES LATER..........

The little boy sat on the floor leaning against the sitting room's floor. He was in tears, sobbing quietly in fear.

Before the little boy was his mother, lying helplessly on the floor. Her body color was unpleasantly white for it was lacking blood. Her eyes were wide open in shock but she was already lifeless.

"Mum.Mum....." The boy cried quietly in fear.....

The young man slowly walked further away from the building, his head covered with a hood from his black hoodie top. He faced down both hands in his hoodie's pocket.

He suddenly stopped as he brought out a hand, it was bloody but slowly disappeared and went back to normal.

He sighed as he continued walking until he faded...

Hana sat before the makeup table the next morning applying lipstick.

When she was done with outlining it nicely, she dropped it down and turned to her bed where Sunni lay.

Looking at her golden wristwatch. It was 12:30 pm. She sighed "It's late and she's still sleeping? Did she take any sleeping pill?"

She wasn't going to work so she had stayed late because she was going to visit her parents later in the afternoon.

She got up walking up to her sleeping friend. "Hey! Sunni! Wake up!" She said pulling her legs.

Sunni groaned rolling around in bed" what's it?"

"Get up already! It's afternoon!" She said as Sunni opened her eyes.

"What did you say?" Sunni quickly sat up "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Silly...I tried like a dozen times trying to wake you but you kept threatening to report me to the police or something" Hana snapped.

"Whatever...I guess I  won't go in search of work today... it's late" Sunni said.

"You can still go..."

"No...I'm exhausted....it's like you didn't know the tragedy I went through yesterday, didn't I tell you?"

Hana shocked her head "Before I returned from work yesterday...you were already fast asleep so I didn't bother." She said.

"Well sit let me tell you the tale of woe" Sunni urged as Hana sat beside her in bed.

Sunni detailedly narrated what had happened yesterday........

"Wait! Do you mean you met that guy again?! And he's the new inspector general of the Agency?!" Hana asked shocked when she got to the part.

"Yeah! And do you know how I felt? Like poop! Because I had just lost a good chance of joining the team. if only I knew on time and was nice to him"

"Aish....that's bad...but did you bother telling him about joining?" Hana asked as Sunni gave her a cold stare.

"Of course I did! but do you know what he told me?" She asked as Hana shocked her head. "He said that how could a criminally minded person like me who sneaked illegally into a detective van ever be a good detective...he said it was IM-PO-SSI-BLE"

"O my..he's mean," Hana said.

"Yes...but he's the detective general!" Sunni said.

"So what are you gonna do now?" Hana asked "I'd advise you to forget about that agency, there are many good agencies out there! "

Sunni stared at her friend again" Hana..are you my enemy now? How can you say that? I won't give up on that agency....I'll strive even if it means going there and begging that jerk Detective general" Sunni concluded.

Hana sighed " Sunni can I change your mind on this?"

"No I've made up my mind..so I'll get ready today and leave for the Agency! That jerk must acknowledge me!" She jerked out of bed rushing to the bathroom
