Chapter 1 : The dream

Slobber covered my face and I instantly knew it was morning. I opened my eyes only to see my mom pounced on my chest repeatedly licking my face. “grrrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrrr!” I growled. My mom grabbed me by my shirt using her jaws and slowly dragged me to a tree stump where breakfast was waiting, 12pounds of freshly hunted antelope and some grubs. My siblings and I scuffle as we fight for the food. My brother grabs the hoove, my littlest sister grabs the ribs and I grab the remaining flesh. Mommy doesn't eat. She just sits and watches us. She is so very nice. She gave me a place to stay and she only eats after we are all full. Sometimes we leave nothing behind and she eats nothing. But we can't help it, we 're hungry. After our meal, we go splash by the river.

We jump on each other while we playfully bite each other. Just when I'm about to pin my brother, we hear very loud noises. Like thunder, but louder. We then see something in the air. It looks like some sort of large mosquito flying above us. My mother immediately rushed past us and dragged each one of us to safety. Some things came rushing out of the mosquito. All we saw were things flying down and surrounding us. My mother stood in front of us and started growling at the intruders. They were pointing black things at mother. We all were so scared ducking behind mom. They spoke in some gibberish I had never heard. They were flashing lights at us with huge things.

They seemed to be looking at me. They started coming even closer to us and my mom growled harder and louder. They released something that came flying and hit mom straight in her chest. It made such a loud noise and it led mom flying and crashing to the ground. She wasn't moving and all I could hear were soft whimpers from her. I was so scared and I came rushing at mom and I saw a piercing that was bleeding on her chest.

The things started heading for me while gibbering loudly in their language. They came and held me and lifted me up into the air.

I was trying to resist their grip but they were far more powerful than me. Mom let out her last whimper then they took me. They climbed with me into the air while I was barking and growling to be let down. I wanted to stay with my family. Then they threw me into their giant mosquito. I tried to bite and when I did they started hitting me. Then they pointed the black thing at me. One of them took out a plastic tin bottle with a sharp point and poked it into a bottle sort of draining the liquid from the bottle. Then. The man came at me. I noticed he was still holding the sharp thing. Then.. with so much vigor and energy. He stabbed It into me. “aahhh” I woke up screaming. Mama and papa quickly rushed into my bedroom. My heart was racing. I was sweating. I had a sharp pain in my shoulder. “sweetie are you ok?” mama asked. “are you feeling ok princess?” papa asked too. “mom.” I said with tears in my eyes. “ I had this dream mama” “ they shot-” “they grabbed-” then I broke down into tears. “it's ok my princessa” papa said “ it was just a dream” mom consoled. “Now go back to sleep my little señiora” “can I sleep in your room tonight mama, papa? “ they glanced at each other and said “of course my chiquitita” I headed to their room leaving them behind in mine. “ oh no Ben” “ I think it's happening again” “ it's been long since she had them” “I think they are back” “I think so too honey” “this can't be good Ben” “this can't be good.”
