Nice girls finish last.

A gunshot shattered the silence of the night. I woke up, startled by the loud, unexpected noise. I got up and tripped over my shoes laying across the floor. Every thing was pitch black, all I could see was the silhouette of the tree in my front yard, dancing in the wind. I swear every month there's a shooting in our neighborhood.1

I walked over to the window and opened it, with very little effort. Almost instantly a cool breeze came through and gave me a chill so i grabbed my sweater off my desk and went back to the window. I gazed out into the distance. As I started to turn around, a black figure ran past my house, too quickly for me too see what or who it was. I was after all, half a sleep. I shook it off and decided it was my imagination.2

The next morning, I woke up by a cop car speeding past my house. I looked at the clock and noticed I was a half hour late for my new job so I pulled on the first pair of jeans out of my closet and put my work shirt on.  I looked around and found a pair of ancle socks to put on then started looking for my shoes. I looked under my bed and by my table and on the floor in my whole room but I couldnt find them so I decided to check the living room. "Shoes, shoes," I said to myself as I paced around the livingroom looking under the table and on the couch and various other places. Finally, as I was about to just wear my flip flops I fount them on my patio. I had stepped in gum walking home and hadn't wanted to track it inside. I hurried to put them on and ran the whole three miles to work.3

"Samera your late!" my boss bit*ched when I got to work. 5

"I'm sorry mam'n I got to sleep really late, on the count of another gun shooting by my house."6

"Well, get to work!" With that I went to my office to work on my part of the facilty project.  When I finished, I got off work early. I needed a break any way so it was good. 7

           One month later... I was making my bed one night when suddenly a flash of light went by my window. I had my shoes on already so I went to my front door, looking through the peep hole before I went out the door. I looked around but saw nothing. I took a step and before I knew it everything was black.  When I woke up I was surrounded by darkness. Not even a hint of light showed up any where and I was starting to think I was dead when I heard some one speak. "Awertcamillaton your queen is awake," it said. "SHH! Don't call her that when she can hear it, it's really embaressing!" the another said. "Oh sorry master," the first voice said again in a quieter voice. A candle was lit and every thing lit up. I was in a small cave with water trickeling down the walls. I stood up and looked behind me and saw two exceptionally large human-beings.  "WH-WH- WHO AR- WHO ARE Y- YOU!?!?!" I screamed. "There's no need to yell Samera," the larger one said. His voice was masculane and smooth.  "HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME? WHEN DID I GET HERE? WHERE'S MY HOUSE? WHAT DAY IS THIS?" I stormed out a bunch of questions. "CALM YOUR BUTT DOWN!!" the smaller one yelled back. "Taraplisackk was that really nessisary?"
"Sorry I get angry easily.. short tempered." "Well could you at least hold back for my Samera?" "Wait you'r Samera?! When did I become owned?"  I asked. "It's just an expression don't worry about it," the big one said, "I am Awertcamillaton, or Camil for short. This is my friend Taraplisackk," he said pointing to his friend. "You can call me Tara if you please. I know our names our on the long side," Taraplisackk said. "Okay well now that takes care of who you are, what do you want from me?" I said, a little more calmed by there politness. "Well.. I have been watching you- and before you get freaked out, I watch a lot of people but you espesially. I- well I sorta fell in love with you while doing so," Camil said. "What? Why do you watch people?" "Thats my job. You're an artist for a magazine and I'm a person watcher, I make sure- well I have already gaven out to much information." "What? What are you talking about, you haven't told me any thing I wanted to know!" "I'm sorry, I'm soo so sorry Samera." Camil did the impossible, he started crying. Here he is, a buff man with abs and all, black sexy hair, high cheek bones any one would kill for and probably the tallest man in Alaska and he was crying. "Wh- why are you crying? It's okay, I'm not mad, please don't cry!" "You should be! Look were you are, I took you away from you're home for what? For the small chance that it would be love at first sight for you. That's it. That's all I wanted to know. Lame right? I know what you're probably thinking. Yeah Camil is such a loser, he has to get kidnapp someone to see if they will like him. What was I thinking, I'm such an idiot." "Don't say that! You are not an Idiot you're just lonly. I can't say I'm in love with you, because that would be a lie but what I can tell you is that you're extreamly cute and I wouldn't mind getting to know you better." I hated seeing people cry, it made my stomach lurch. "Really? No lies?" "None but you have to promise you will for one take me home and two on the way explain some things." "Okay I will I promise." "Are you leaveing now?" Tara said. I almost forgot about him. "Yes, my Samera wants to go home, and I really should get her there before the sun rises," Camil said, "Come Samera we will fly back to you're place." "Fly? As in an air plain or helicopter? How far are we from my house?" "No silly wings, were around 50 miles from your pad." "WINGS??" "Yes wings, do you expecet to walk across Alp lake?" "Well I didn't expect to be that far from home either," I said under my breath. We walked out of the cave and when we reached the edge of a cliff I looked up and saw a thousand of little stars glimmering, waiting for the sun light to come up and hide them again. "Wow the stars are beautiful," I said. "Yes, much like you're self I have to agree," Camil said. To that I blushed and looked away. "Is something wrong Samera?" "No that was just very flattering." "Oh. Well I'm sorry to distort you're veiw but we must be off, hop on my back." I did as he said and he ran, then jumped off the cliff. My first thought was oh my gosh were going to die but then out of no where he grew giant wings out of his side. "THIS IS SO FUN!" I yelled over the loud rush of wind. He just smiled then his wings shiffted. Before I knew it we were doing 360s and more. It was the most fun I had in- well it was the most fun I ever had. "So as you can see, I'm not you're normal human. I come from floraxx2 and this," there was a flash of light and Camil changed shape, size, and color, "Is what my 'Alien' self looks like. To us flaxin you humans are the Aliens but I hear you say we are so there you have it. I was sent here, one out of one hundred and fifty two, to watch and observe you guys. I don't know what it is about you but when I saw you I automatically knew I was in love." "So you kidnapped me?" "Correct and I am so VERY sorry. I know now that it wasn't right but when I saw you step out of you're lovely home when I ran by I couldn't help but think.. it was ment to be." "How long have I been with you?" "Seven of you're hours." "Oh then It hasn't been to long then. Do you know what time it is?" "No sorry. All I know is it's 5 something in the A.M.. "Oh. Well in that case I don't start work for another four hours today." "Yes well you shal be home in fif-" he got cut off by a huge yawn he let out. "Sorry about that I am exausted. Any way fifteen minutes." "How often do florax sleep?" "Same as humans. Eight hours a day is highly recomended." "When was the last time you slept?" "Uh.. well four days ago." "What!! You are not going to fly all the way back home. Would you mind sleeping at my house for a while?" "Oh no I cannot intrude on you're personal space." "No you wouldn't be intruding, I want you too sleep and you really need it." "If you insist." "Before we get there I have one more question though." "And what would that be?" "Well out of every one that you watch, why did you fall in love with me?" "Ah. I too ask my self this question. How do I find a human so attractive? What about her is so great? But then I think, what about her isn't great? The only thing is the fact you can't live with me." "Oh." I said. I could tell I was blushing. When we got back to my house I led him to my guest room. "You can sleep here and if you need any thing I'll be right around that corner right there." I said pointing to the hall. "You are much appreciated Samera. Way to kind to me." I smiled and said good night then went to my room. After I got dressed I slid into my bed for that final two hours of sleep I would get. I fell into a deep sleep almost instantly. When I woke up, I looked at the clock and it had only been a half hour. That was odd. I never woke up before I was supposed to unless something woke me up. I looked around and didn't see any thing so I tried to go back to sleep but as I lay my head down trying to get compfertable again I heard a ruffeling noise to my left. I turned my head and there was Camil, looking almost.. dead, but he was walking so I knew he couldn't be. "Samera?" he asked as if he couldn't see. "Yeah Camil what's wrong?" "I feel to guilty to sleep." "Well maybe you should tell me whats wrong, get it off you're chest?" "Okay. Well I lied to you. I'm not who I said I am. Well my name IS Camil but I'm not a Florax." "Oh, then what are you Camil?" "I'm- I'm- I'm a vampire." "YOU'RE A-" And he sprang for my throught.
