Mia ran into the pet shop saying, “Brandon I am so sorry I’m late! I’ll make it up to you for those days that I missed too! And don’t worry about cleaning the bathrooms or kennels!” Mia looks up and sees that Brandon is just staring at her. “What? Did you really think I wouldn’t come in the day I woke up? Come on Brandon say something!!” Brandon puts down the dog brush he had in his hand and walks over to Mia. “Welcome back.” He hugs Mia and pulls back, “Well since you insist that you’ll clean the bathrooms and kennels I guess you should get to work. Make sure to take breaks if your not feeling well! I don’t want your parents and everyone else to kill me cause I overworked you!” Mia punched Brandon on the arm. “Yea. Whatever.” Mia heads to the back and get the cleaning supplies. Brandon turns the radio on, and plays classical music. Mia rolls her eyes and heads to the kennels. I wonder what happens after she went to sleep… I’ll have to read more of it tonight. So that way I’ll be prepared to try and get to the government about what’s going to happen… I hope they believe me. Mia heard a noise from the front. “Brandon, are you okay? Tell me you didn’t spill something else!” Mia calls out but Brandon doesn’t reply. Mia gets up and heads to the front. “Brandon?” She grabs a broom, and looks around the corner. Mia tightens her grip on the broom when she see’s what happened. “SCOTT! I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN JAIL!” Scott shakes his head, “Nah they let me out. How’s your arm baby?” Mia glares at him and sees Brandon on the floor knocked out. “What did you do to him? If you hurt him I’ll make sure that they don’t let you out again!” Scott just smiles and said, “You wont get a chance. I have a few friends who are going to help me get to you and get rid of the government! You probably know them since your future self just visited you and gave you a book. Mine came back with her. That’s what the malfunction was, he said that his specialist team had taken down the rest of her group and they would get her when she got back. So right now in the future you’re dead. But we can change that if you go with me right now. They will give you immunity and they wont touch your family unless they oppose them. So what do you say honey?” Scott held his hand out to her. Mia looked at it and then replied. “Over my dead rotting body! I wont go with you even if that means you kill me!”  Mia hits him with the broom and drags Brandon to the back and locks the door. “Come on Brandon!! WAKE UP!” Mia slaps his cheeks lightly, then gets some water and pours it on him. “WAH!!! What happened??” Mia grabs his hand, “Come on we don’t have much time, Scotts out there. We have to get out of here. Come on. We have to get to the roof!” Mia pulls Brandon to the ladder and pushes him up the ladder, “Faster Brandon!”  Mia yelled at him and he got up to the roof. Mia goes up after him and sees someone is already on the roof. “Crap! Brandon, go for the fire escape! I’ll hold him off! Hurry!” Brandon runs over to the fire escape and the figure turns around to face Mia.

“Ah. Mia it’s you again. I shall enjoy killing you now, rather then wait till you have skills to defeat me.” The figure pulls his hood back and Mia sees his face. His face was covered with fur, beady red eyes, and a nose that looks like it was smashed by a hammer. “Ugh. Gross! Ever heard of a breath mint? Who are you anyway? Why do you want to kill me?  What did I ever do to you?” Mia asked trying to buy some time. “Well for one you’re a thorn in my side that I would rather not have this time around. So I’ll just get rid of you now. I am the scout for my race. And we are called, loosely translated in your primitive language, the Red Eyes.” Mia grabs her knife that’s strapped to the small of her back, “I don’t think you will. Cause I’m not that easy to kill. Just ask your pal Scott. He’s tried to take me somewhere and I proved too much for him. I don’t think you’ll do much better.” Mia goes and slowly pulls the knife out of its sheath, but doesn’t show it to the Red Eye. “Well I’m guessing you didn’t read that book your dead future self gave you, it would contain information about us. Like how we can read people’s minds. And how we can move objects with our minds.” Mia looks behind her to see if Brandon’s down the stairs yet. “Really, then what am I thinking right now? Bet you can get it!” If he can read my mind then I’m screwed! I’m going to stab your eyes out with my pen. “Well what did I think? Hmmm?” The Red Eye looks at Mia and responds “You are worrying about your friend, and your thinking about that book at your home.” Mia stands there dumbfounded; he got it wrong. I wasn’t thinking about the book at all. Maybe he’s bluffing so that he can defend himself when I attack… “You sure that’s right? Cause I’m not so sure to tell you the truth. See I was thinking about running for it and then tell the police that a strange man is chasing me and Scott threatened a friend of mine and myself.” Mia turns around and runs for the steps and makes it all the way down. She starts to turn around, the red eye is already there standing behind her. “Crap!” Mia pulls out the knife and slices the red eyes face. “Leave me and my planet alone!” Mia yells and kicks the creature’s knee and runs.

I have to get home and grab that book! I knew I should have brought it with me! Have to get Tasha from dance and call mom and dad to tell them were going to the mall! It’s the only safe place I can think of right now! Mia pants running towards her younger sisters dance studio. She opens the door and runs inside, “Tasha come on. I’m taking you to the mall.” Mia told her sister who was putting her sneakers on. “Okay. But I have to stop by the house to grab my wallet.” Tasha replies and grabs her gym bag, “Mia where’s your bag? You never leave the house without it.” Mia grabs her sister and starts running toward their home. “I’ll explain later. Right now we need to get home grab what we need and get to the mall. It’s public and no one will try to hurt us there!” Tasha and Mia run towards their home using alleys. “Okay Mia. I’ll go first. They won’t suspect me right now. They only know about you.” Mia looks at her younger sister and finally nods her head. Tasha walks out from the alley and towards they’re house. She opens the door and signals Mia to run across the street and into the house. “Okay. Grab your wallet and I’ll grab my things. I’ll make sure to get a few extra knives.” Mia goes up stairs and slowly opens her door. She peeks inside and walks in. She grabs the book and stuffs it in her gym bag; she goes and throws a few knives and her wallet into the bag. “Are you ready Tasha?” Mia calls out. “MIA RUN!” Tasha screams from her bedroom, Mia grabs another book and throws it in the bag. She runs to her sister’s room and pulls out several knives. “You! Let her go! If it’s the book you want then you can have it, just let her go!” the Red Eyes tightens it grip on Tasha, “Throw the book over here and I might let her go. She seems like she’ll be a pain later, just like her sister.” Mia grabs the second book that she put in her bag and threw it over to the Red Eyes. “There. Now let her go!” Red Eyes let Tasha go and grabbed the book; Mia grabbed Tasha and ran out of the house. “Hurry! We have to get out of here! We’ll call mom and dad later!” Mia pushed Tasha in front of her; “I’ll meet you later! Run fast and don’t look back! Don’t stop, and whatever you do don’t give any of your real information to anyone!” Mia pushed Tasha in the opposite direction, and pulled out her phone and dialed 911. “Hello. Someone is in my house. 200 windy drive. Please get them out! Thank you so much!” Mia hung up the phone and ran to the closes shop she could see. Tasha better run faster then she’s ever had to! I wont let those creatures get her! I’ll turn myself in. Now I need to find somewhere to read the rest of this book! But where can I hide? I know! The food court! Andrew should be working; I can ask him if I can hide in the kitchen! Mia walks quickly to the food court and over to the pizza palace. “Hey Andrew! Can you do me a favor and let me hide in the kitchen? I’ll explain it to you later, but right now I need to get out of sight and I need to read this book. Please!” Mia asks Andrew and he just nods his head. “Over this way. Mia I still think that you shouldn’t be up and moving just yet.” “ I know Andrew, but you know how I am. The hard worker who can’t stand missing a day, or worse three!” Mia goes over to a section of the kitchen where no one is, and she turns around to face Andrew. “What I’m about to tell you can not be said to anyone else. Can I trust you with that?” Mia waits for his answer while he thinks about it. “Yea. Mia you can trust me with it.” Mia looks at him and opens the book. “This is the future, and I’m going to need your help.”
