Glowing Tattoos

“I repeat. Six gigantic Resurgent class Star Wars star destroyer looking ships have appeared in our galaxy!” The blonde news reporter frantically speaks, downtown New York City.


In the distance the huge black warship looms just outside the atmosphere of earth.


“It has been stated that our leaders have been diligently deploying many means of communication. Hoping that they are friendly” The woman continued as the tv went black.


“You shouldn’t be watching that! Get your stuff packed.” Kalissi sighed loudly tossing her head back into the couch as her uncle shuffled past behind it. “No goods going to come from this. It’s an invasion”


“I tend to agree with you. But if it was an invasion. Wouldn’t they be storming the White House already?” Kalissi yawned leaning over the side of the couch, her black hair cascading over the edge.


“Get ready for school”


“Aliens invade earth, and I still have to go to school?” Kalissi groaned.


“I thought it wasn’t an invasion?” He shot back and she sighed again. Grabbing her backpack.




New York was states away. Of course the closest ship still loomed over this part of the country. But people still didn’t seem to be to worried. At this point it was a stalemate.


The school walk was only a mile or so. Through town and across a bridge. Then a small business district. Yet as she watched the sun rise, a creaking sound so loud it caused her to fall to the ground. Looking up at the sky it was instantly apparent the ship was about to do something.



Hundreds of items , orbs of some kind. Scattered out of the back. Hurling towards the earth in seconds.


It wasn’t even a second before the first one ripped across the bridge. Tossing the tarmac into the air, destroying the edges as screams started to echo around her. Seconds went by, then one ripped right past her. Stopping just short of the bridge edge right next to her.


As it exploded open a gust of blue wind shot out. Dropping Kalissi as a girl stepped out. Her face was covered in bluish green tattoos, but her skin was ice white marble. Hair hung on her shoulders blacker then the starless night sky.


Pain crawled across Kalissi’s body as the girl moved toward her. The bridge slowly collapsed as she strode towards her. Fear was gone, the aliens had killed her. Then she felt a hand on her cheek, pulling her face within an inch of the alien girls.


“Your my new friend” The smile that crossed her face caused the tattoos to shift to a more mellow blue color. “I need your help…. Bad people are coming…. But bad people also came with me….”


“This whole bridge is going down…. We are gonna die” At that the alien girl giggled a bit.


“I save you… you be my friend?”
