Chapter 67 Chapter 67
Jess’s POV
“I have no idea, but I think we are about to find out” I carried on looking through my scope as I could see a lot better. Kieran was doing the same. “Hey, can you see a windscreen on the ship?”
“No that’s what I am looking for. If we can shop that we might be able to shoot whoever is driving”
“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing but there are no windows at all. There is not even an engine to try and shootout”
“I know but we have to try something”
“Then let’s just shoot at the fucking thing. We are bound to do some damage. Justin dad I want you to just shoot. I do not care where abouts you hit the ship just make sure that you do. Kieran, I want you to do the same. On three, one, two, three” We all started shooting. The humans watched us for a bit and then John figured out what we were doing and gave the humans orders to do the same. Amber joined the humans and started to shoot fire balls at it. Hayley watched for a bit then she went to the forest and started to pull full sized pine trees out of the earth and throw them at the ship. Her family watched here in shock and then they also joined in the fun. It started to look like we were winning and that the ship was going to crash back down. But then it started to speed up. In less than a heartbeat it was gone. “Shit” I let my body slump down and put my head in my arms. We had failed. We had let the aliens get away. Romeo dug under my arm with his nose until I put my arm around him. By the time that I lifted my head and felt up to facing people Kieran had packed up all the guns apart from mine. “You packed everything up?”
“Yeah, we just need to pack up yours and then we can head back to camp and meet with the others”
“That sounds like fun. What’s the point? We lost. The aliens got away.
“Yeah, and now, we need to be ready for when they get back”
“What they don’t have to come back here to destroy the planet. I am sure that they can do it from space”
“We have something that they want. They are not going to destroy earth before they get the women. They need them for their survival”
“I guess your right lets go back to camp” I didn’t bother putting my gun back in its case. I threw it over my shoulder. Kieran grabbed my bed roll and put my ammo back in my bag. We all walked back to camp in silence. We were all brooding on what had happened. As soon as mum saw us she came running up to hug my father.
“I was so worried about you. Are you ok?”
“Am fine there was no need to worry. I had Jess and Kieran there to protect me”
“I know but I worry. I kept thinking that the gun might backfire and blow up in your face”
“Mum, come on. I would not let dad use a gun that was not safe”
“I know am sorry, but your father is a used car salesman not a sniper. I worry”
“I know” I walked away from my mum and dad and walked towards John. Kieran and Justin followed me “Ok boss, do you have any idea what we are doing next?”
“No not yet. I was thinking that we pack up camp and head back to town. The aliens are not going to come back in a hurry. My guess is that they will go back to their planet and plan their next attack”
“Okay. We are going to have to get a team together so that we can stop them from getting the women again”
“Yes, I was thinking about that. We need to contact the departments in the rest of the world to see if they had the same attack that we did or if they decided to attack us as we are a small country with not many people”
“It would make sense if they only attacked here. We have all this nature for them to hide in”
“Yeah, we need to get back to the warehouse and have a meeting. I will try to contact most of our agents and see if I can get them to come to a meeting”
“Ok. What are you going to tell all the humans? They look scared shitless of the vampires. Maybe we should get the vamps to wipe their memories of them”
“We will talk to William about that and see what he wants to do. I am going to tell them that we are heading back to town and that they should all head home”
“Ok good luck boss” I watched John walk over to where the humans where all gathered. He stood on a rock so that he was above them. It was a simple thing to do. When people are looking up at you, they automatically put you in a position of power. It was such simple psychiatry. I could not hear what he was saying from where I stood. I watched the expressions on the faces though and was shocked at how easily they took the news that they were to go home. Not one of them questioned the fact that the aliens had got away. John got of his rock and walked back towards us.
“Not one of them asked any questions. Do they not get that the aliens are going to come back?”
“No Jess they did not even know that Aliens did not exist before now. They think that the aliens lost so they have gone back to their planet. They did not fully understand in the first place why the aliens where here”
“God it would be so nice to be that naive sometimes”
“I know Jess, but we are glad that you’re not as we really need your skills”
“Yeah, I know. I just think that it would be nice to have to ability to think that things like this can really have a happy ending” While I had been talking to John my parents had walked over to us.
