Back To Earth: Chapter 1

Waking up in a strange place filled with clear
skies, fluffy white clouds, trees, plants and
soil, she stood up and looked around. The
girl was a brunette with blue eyes and was
carrying a huge backpack. Having decided
that she could not stay there for a long time,
she started to move forward and at the
same time took note of her surroundings.
Hours later, she stopped by a hill and
watched for the first time apart from the
ones she had seen in pictures and movies,
the sunset. Due to the stories she had heard,
she knew she had to move fast, especially
since she had began to feel eyes her and
could hear growls in the distance. She soon
found herself in an open field and it was
getting dark. A few seconds later, she could
hear animals following her and she began
to run. She jumped over logs and rocks and
tried her best to keep a good distance
between her and the animals chasing her.
Soon she heard sonic guns blasting through
the air and the animals scampered back,
then she bumped into a man and fell down
on the floor.
After thorough check ups, scanning and
questioning, she was led to an infirmary
instead of the main office like she had
expected, where she met a much older man
who she guessed was the commander
judging from the way he dressed and
looked.
"My name is commander Benjamin
Martin."Pointing at the man beside him who
she had bumped into earlier, "This is captain
David Morgan who I believe you've already
met and doctor Katherine Morgan."
"Pleased to meet you." Dr Morgan said with
a British accent, smiling warmly at her. She
only nodded.
"So...what's your name?" Dr Morgan asked.
"Macy."
"How old are you?" Commander Martin
asked.
"Eight."
"He chuckled. "Don't you look a little old to
be eight?"
"Maybe."
"So how old are you?"
"Nineteen."
"How did you get here?" the captain asked.
"The gateway."
"I know but what I mean is how were you
able to get here since the gateway was shut
down?"
"Well I was among the recruits but due to
certain complications I and most people
couldn't get through so out of curiosity,
instead of going home I stayed back to
investigate and I was able to fix some things
there secretly while pretending to be a
member of the staff and I managed to get it
working temporarily for a few
minutes.Luckily, before the guards could
come for me someone or some people got
through the gateway which I thought was
impossible and things got messy, so I
managed to slip inside and here I am." Macy
explained.
"But that happened three months ago."
"No that happened this morning." Macy
argued.
"Well according to the scans Max sent, due
to the disfunctioning of the gateway you
time travelled for three months but it only
seemed like a few minutes to you. It
happens to everyone in a few seconds but
yours were longer." Dr Morgan explained.
"So I wasted three months of my life coming
here?" Macy asked getting slightly angry.
"Sorry sweetie." Dr Morgan said
apologetically.
"Who do you work for?" C.Martin asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You should know."
"Your men already asked me in their
interrogation room or whatever and I
already told them; I don't know what you're
talking about. Look I came here for a new
life not to meet some paranoid security
officers who are scared because of some
invasion that happened before I came."
Macy explained clearly frustrated.
"Okay but we still gotta make sure" Captain
Morgan said.
"Whatever I don't care!" Macy yelled.
"Control your temper Miss. Now the unit
where I could've put you under close watch
is still being rebuilt which means you'll be
staying with the captain and his family."
C.Martin ordered.
"WHAT?!" the captain yelled.
"I don't need some babysitter." Macy yelled
back.
"You don't have a choice. Now Captain, Dr
Morgan can I talk to you in private?"
The three of them walked a short distance
away from Macy who was pacing clearly
frustrated and angry.
"Martin I'm not sure we have room for
her."the captain said.
"But you're building one." the commander
replied.
"I kinda like her." Dr Morgan said.
"Of course you do." her husband replied.
"She seems like a sweet girl beneath all that
anger."
"She's an adult." the captain argued. "And
she's kind of scary too."
"She'll be fine."Dr Morgan said convincingly.
"Hey kid come over here."C.Martin ordered.
Macy walked over to them and crossed her
arms. "You done yet?"she asked.
"Do you know anyone here?"the
commander asked.
"Maybe but I'm not saying anything till I'm
sure it's safe." Macy replied.
"Wait. What's your last name?"the captain
asked.
"Keep guessing." Macy replied,"So...where
am I staying?"
At the Morgans home...
"Macy, I would like you to meet our kids.
This is Jason, Amanda and our youngest
daughter Emily."Dr Morgan introduced,"And
you can call me Katherine"
"Sup."
"Hi"Jason said dryly.
"Hi"Amanda smiled while Emily waved.
"where do I sleep?"Macy asked ignoring
them. "In Jason's room. No" "Dont you have
a couch bed or something?" "no."the
captain replied. "Okay...see ya in the
morning"
