I can’t believe he’s here.
I wanted to punch him in the face, to kill him right on the spot, but he had Tracey. I knew that there were others there as well, but the fact that he had Tracey right there, with a smile that screamed his intent to kill, made me hold my fingers together. I looked at him with anger.
“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked him.
“I don’t know. Depends. I feel like you certainly would like to know. But I think the two of us need to play a little bit of catch-up. After all, it’s been so long, hasn’t it? You’re probably wondering how I made it out of that lab,” he said.
“That would be nice to know,” I spat. I can’t believe it was true, that he was alive, and the other man just simply smiled.
“Well, you can thank Lavvy for that. She busted me out in secret, taking me to her planet. From there, they gave me power because of my research, because they knew that there was something more to me than this. But I didn’t expect this to all come to this. I did work with her and the people there. I’m sent as an emissary to destroy this place. We’ve got our eyes set on it, and if you dare defy me it’ll spell war. You saw how easily I decimated this place and, if you refuse to let me go, I’m going to take your precious little girlfriend with me. She’s quite cute. I never expected you to bed some whore of a human,” he spat.
How dare this fucker call her a whore! I immediately felt the anger reverberating through my body as I rushed forward, frightened of whatever was to happen next. I started to feel anxious, the feeling almost driving me completely mad. I didn’t want to shift, but I felt that I would have to in order to get the upper hand. I felt the urge to change, the urge to finally show who I really was.
But I didn’t. There were too many humans around. I couldn’t put myself at risk like that. The Earth government would have a field day knowing the truth. I began to attack my father, but he parried everything.
“What’s the matter? Can’t shift? Are you not going to fight me with all of your power in order to protect your precious girlfriend?”
“I can’t shift here,” I muttered.
“Well, that’s too bad, because if you can’t then you’re nothing but swine that can’t fight,” he said.
He punched me in the jaw, sending me flying back. Despite him not shifting, I could tell that he still could tap into his power. I couldn’t shift. Not yet. I don’t want to be seen as a freak by everyone. But, when I looked at Tracey, bound by the slime monsters and at the mercy of their grip, I was tempted to.
But I had a feeling that tapping into this would be easier. That’s what I did. I needed to protect her. I had so much control over everything here, that just merely tapping into this, using it for good and to protect her, would suffice. I began to close my eyes, my father’s own obviously boring into me. I then gripped my fingers together, my eyes changing color, but I managed to hold everything back.
I lunged straight at the bastard, ready for a fight. I was still in my human form, and most of the people here would probably just think it was Klanden strength. But under the surface of that was the desire to protect. I wanted to protect Tracey. I wanted to watch over her, to hold onto her, to treat her like the princess that she was. I needed to make sure that she was okay, that this would all just work out when the time was right. My father continued to parry the attacks, his eyes widening at the fact that I could keep up. He seemed to be struggling. Then, I hit him with a blow.
There was a small air of purple against there. He groaned, and I immediately pushed my hand straight into there once more. He fell back, hitting the wall once again. He looked at me, and I at him. It was obvious what we would need to do now.
We started to fight, both of us exchanging blows. He seemed to hold his ground well, but I could tell he faltered. I started to smile, knowing full well that this was indeed going my way. After a while, he fell back, smiling at me.
“So, it seems like you want to put up a fight then. No matter, I guess I’ll be making some arrangements with a few friends. Unless, of course, you can stop me,” he said with a sly grin.
I shivered, knowing that this was not going to be good. He was probably going to declare war. All because of this. I had to defeat him, and I had to prevent war from firing up.
He pushed Tracey down on the ground, glaring at me.
“You can have your little girlfriend back. But, if you want to protect this filthy planet and all of these wretched humans, you better come find me. You know where it is. I’ll be waiting. You have a month,” he said.
Before I knew it, the other aliens moved away, freeing the rest of the people. It was then when my father and his entourage disappeared, leaving me with worry.
I grabbed Tracey, holding her tightly and caressing her. Would it be okay? There was a lot that I had to think about but, for now, the safety of my lover was all I could focus on, and I needed to stop this war before it was too late.
