The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"Penelope! Get away from him!" I screamed as I rushed to my brother's side.

I pushed Penelope away roughly.

Her hand slipped from the knife's handle and Tyler lost the support holding him up.

He titled to the side sharply.

I blocked his fall and laid him on the floor gently.

His upper body was on my thighs.

Hot tears welled in my eyes before dripping down.

I grabbed the knife that was still embedded in Tyler's stomach. I yanked it out.

Removing the knife slowly would prolong the extra pain he was feeling.

A splash of blood flew out of the wound and landed on my face.

The hot liquid burned my skin.

The smell of iron assaulted my nose.

I could not inhale any fresh air.

The air in the atmosphere was contaminated with blood.

"Tyler, don't do this to me. I won't forgive you. Hold on." I mumbled as I used my two hands to press the wound.

The blood was spurting out of the injury like a fountain. The knife must have touched a fragile organ.

Some of my tears dropped down. It fell on Tyler's face.

"Edna, don't cry." Tyler whispered.

I tore a piece of my shirt and held it to the wound.

The plain cloth soaked up the liquid pouring from the injury immediately.

The excess spillage added another layer of red on my stained palms.

The blood was not stopping.

"We will be together, Tyler." Penelope laughed.

My furious eyes shot to her.

I wanted to tear her piece by piece. I wanted to see her suffer.

Penelope was lucky.

I had to keep the wound on Tyler's body covered. If I was free, I would have torn her face off.

I regretted the day I met her.

Numerous people were rushing past us.

Then, I remembered the upcoming destruction the earth was going to face.

My face paled.

I can't leave Tyler here.

It wasn't possible!

"Please, is anyone with first aid here? Is your room near this place? We need medical assistance!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

The people at the entrance of the base didn't even listen to me.

Some people turned their heads to stare before looking away.

Nobody lifted a finger to help.

They just rushed past me like emotionless machines.

Color drained out of Tyler's face.

His breathing was becoming labored.

He was breathing out more than he was inhaling air.

My hand shook.

"Tyler, hold on. We are going to get on the spaceship together. Remember your promise to me. We advance and retreat together!" I said.

I didn't want him to close his eyes.

I looked at the base with tears in my eyes.

I would have gone into my room to check for medical supplies to avoid all these snubbing from people who should have human sympathy.

The thing was, our rooms were at the depths of the base.

Before I can come back with first aid supplies, Tyler would have given up the ghost.

The worse possibility is if the spaceship left us behind.

Then, both Tyler and I would have no chance of redemption.

The only thing we can do is go to the spaceship.

Medical help should be there.

"Edna, sorry for the trouble I caused. I was the one that brought Penelope into the picture. If I die, take care of yourself. Make sure to hurry into the spaceship. I think I have kept our parents' promise in a satisfying way." Tyler said slowly. I glared at him, "Stop talking and save your strength. We are going to the spaceship together. We are going to survive. Don't worry. Penelope is just misfortune in human form. Meeting her is our mistake, not yours alone."

I released one of my hand and hung Tyler's arm on my neck.

I grabbed his bag and wore it on my body.

The weight of the two bags became noticeable.

I gritted my teeth and stood up from my squatting position with Tyler's body leaning on me.

As I was standing up, I grabbed the knife on the floor.

The hand holding the knife supported Tyler's body frame while the other hand pressed his bleeding wound to stop blood flow.

"Edna, it's useless. I don't have any strength left. I would just delay you. Go to the spaceship quickly. I don't want you to remain here." Tyler advised.

The hidden resignation in his voice pricked my pupils.

I blinked the tears away.

This wasn't the time to cry.

I should put that energy in carrying Tyler to the spaceship.

My tear ducts didn't want to listen to logic though.

A stray tear slipped out of my left eye before trailing downwards.

"Shut up!" I chided him as I dragged him forward.

My body felt like lead.

Still, I put one foot after the other slowly.

Penelope came closer.

"Penelope, if you take one more step towards us, I would replicate what you just did. You'll die." I hissed.

My wrist moved and the knife I was holding pointed at her.

A flash of fear flitted across her face.

I scoffed.

How hypocritical.

Her behavior was disgusting.

She was afraid of death but she wasn't afraid of injuring my brother.

This was the person she claimed to love.

If the earth didn't bring her destruction forward, Penelope and Tyler would have spent the rest of their days together.

Human beings and their disgusting habits.

Bile rose from my stomach when I imagined Tyler living with this snake in human skin.

So, her craziness had limits.

A few minutes passed by.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

I brought my brother to the spaceship.

The beaded drops of sweat on my forehead slid down.

My clothes stuck to my body.

There was a large crowd in front of the spaceship.

Seven men and women in black uniform was at the entrance of the spaceship.

They checked everybody's ID card and passes.

The spaceship behind them was huge.

The crowd before it looked like miniscule ants.

The body of the spaceship was sleek and metallic.

Even with the gloomy clouds overhead, a shine would appear on metallic material occasionally.

It was futuristic and beautiful.

The materials that would have gone into building this spaceship would be huge and expensive.

I didn't spend any extra time on the spaceship.

I fought through the crowd.

"Watch it, girl!" An irritated female voice said.

"Stop pushing." Another voice shouted.

I ignored all the murmurs and complaints.

I arrived at the area the seven men and women were standing in.

Tyler's head was resting on my neck.

His head was not facing my body so I could not feel his breathing.

His body weight suddenly spiked upwards. The numbness I was feeling increased with the new heaviness.

I tightened my hold.

"Hold on, Tyler. You are stronger than any evil plans. We will make it." I consoled him.

My voice trembled.

"Please, there is someone wounded her! We need medical attention!" I shouted.

One of the women checking the identification of the crowd came towards me.

She took a long look at Tyler and I.

Her face was expressionless.

"He's dead. We are not bringing dead people onboard." She spat before turning around to leave.

Her words were like a thunderclap.

What did she just say?!
