Chapter 7 - Chapter Seven: Aliens

He got off from where he was and went over to the Iron bar gate. He peeped and in front of him, he could see another person behind the iron bar. The person was a man and he was naked with a crazy, rough hair. He was sleeping on the little bed he had.

Greg tried to get out of the place but it was impossible.

He banged hard at the gate hoping to draw some attention of something or the naked man. But, despite all the bangings, the naked man didn't move an inch from his sleeping position.

"Where am I!!" Greg shouted and his voice echoed all over the place.

"Greg?... Greg! Is that you?" A tiny coarse little voice said. The voice sounded as if it hadn't spoken in years to anybody.

"Who are you?" Greg asked.

"Ahh" The voice sighed, "So it's you Greg. It is I, Merly. I didn't believe you could wake up anymore."

"What do you mean? Where are we??" Greg asked at once.

"We are in a strange and unknown territory." Merly Said.

"Territory, How did this all happened." Greg said.

"I don't know, it would be best if we ask that naked man." She said.

"Mister Must! Mister Must!!" Merly called out to the naked man and the man woke up.

"Hello pretty flower. I just slept for 7hours 34minutes." The man said as he stretched his body.

"Is that a wristwatch in your hands?" Greg asked.

The man was frightened by the sudden masculine voice he heard.

"Who is the man?" The naked man asked.

"Uhmm, he is my brother!" Merly Answered.

"Ohh, the one who slept for a full week, that is 168hours in a prison." the naked man said. He stood up from his little bed and headed for the iron bar.

"Oh, not again." Merly complained. Her own cell is behind Greg's while the naked man's Cell is right in front of the two cell. His cell was a lot bigger compared to Greg's and Merly's cell.

Greg could see the full appearance of the man. He has a bushy brown hair and a long uncut beard.

"Don't you have anything you could put on?" Greg said with anger. The man laughed and looked at the two of them.

"Ohh, you are still new here. You will soon understand." The man replied and said no more.

There was silence between them and Merly decided to break off the silence by asking about the strange place they are in.

"How many days have you been here in this ... prison." Merly asked.

"Not prison, this is an Alien world. I've been here for the past twenty eight years! And I'm not the only one here, for we are thousands, no millions in this place." He answered as he was demonstrating with his hands.

"Just what the hell are Aliens?" Greg shouted but they heard a footsteps coming towards them.

"Ohh, it's time to go visit the city" The man said as he glanced at the so called watch that was in his hands.

A figure appeared in front of them and behind the figure were another two figures which Greg concluded to be the Aliens the naked man was talking about.

' So this is how Aliens look like, but who is the pretty lady in front of them. 'Greg thought. The figure in front of the two Aliens was a lady in a super incredible metal suit. And at the chest piece, there was a small red glowing gemstone.

When he raised his heads up to see the face of the lady, he fell in love in an instant. Although the girl has an human face, still, she is an alien.

"Pretty girhb njsh" Greg mumbled rubbish to himself.

The lady looked below and stared down at him. She brought something from her side. It was the red metal stuff that Greg stoled from the guys he burned with fire.

"Where did you get this from?" The lady asked with a hard tone. Greg who was not fully out of his daze stared blankly at her.

The Aliens beside the lady alien opened the iron bar and the lady alien slapped Greg.

Greg shouted out in pain. The slap from the alien lady was so strong.

"I will ask you again for the very last time. Where did you get this from?" she asked again.

Greg not wanting to get the same slap he received the first time quickly answered but with anger.

"I don't know!!" He shouted out loud and went into the deepest corner of the cell. The lady looked a lot more older than Greg. But Greg has fallen in love with her at first sight.

The Aliens beside the lady alien went inside the cell prison and carried Greg back to the entrance of the cell and stood behind him, in case he runs back.

"I would have instructed them to kill you in an instant, but you still have one task to do for me, before you die. You Insect!" The lady alien said making sure her last word resounds well.

The Aliens that were behind him carried him and binded him with a Gemic chain.

Gemic Chain is a chain that the aliens created using gemstone. The chain can be controlled without touching it. It is used mainly by all the aliens. It glows in colour, because of the gemstone used to create it.

The chain kept on getting longer and longer till every part of his body was binded by the chain, except his face. His clothes were getting torn pieces by pieces. That is how strong the chain is!

"Since you don't know where you got this from, how about asking your twin sister." the alien lady said and they were both surprised by her speech.

"How did you know that we are twins?" Merly asked.

"I got every details of you with me. And since you've been here, I've been monitoring and listening to your discussions." The alien lady answered. "Now that I've answered your questions, it's time for you to answer mine."

"Where did you get this Mother Gem from?" she asked.

"How would I know, I've never seen it before!" Merly Answered.

The two aliens brought out another chain and went toward Merly. They dropped the chains on the floor and it started gliding by itself like a snake. And it went into Meely's cell prison.

Merly, upon seeing this, tried to prevent the chain from binding her, as she ran back towards the little bed that was in her cell.
