I struggle to keep my eyes open as I drive across the long, straight, boring roads that span across the plains of the Australian desert at 3am. suddenly ashhnikko's song little boy thumps through the sound system and breaks me out of my trance. I take a long drink of my red bull and light a smoke while dancing and singing along. suddenly the car goes completely dead no headlights nothing, the suddenly silence rings through my body setting every nerve on fire. I slowly apply the handbrake and knock the engine in to neutral trying to gently slow the car down without sliding out. To my surprise it works quickly and I manage to get the car parked on to the shoulder of the highway without dieing which is a positive. I reach into my handbags and pull out my phone it's dead to... wtf this was what the music was running through it definitely shouldn't be dead.
I try the key nothing, I pop the bonnet, grab the emergency tool kit, take out the torch I keep in the bag and step out to investigate. I quickly survey my surroundings and there isn't a single soul that I can see. I inspect the engine and everything on the surface looks fine. battery has full charge which confuses me I grab the pilers out of my bag and start pulling out fuses checking each one and replacing it as I go. suddenly all around me starts to glow with a soft purple light.
"wtf is this" I mutter as I place the fuse back. as everything gets brighter and I instinctively run for the driver side door and throw myself inside. I grab my handbag and wrap the strap around my waist just in case. I pull the Stanley knife from my tool kit and go to look out the windshield but me being the idiot that I am forgot to drop the bonnet before I got in.
"damn it" I try the key again still nothing. "stupid electric windows" I mutter to myself. I look around the car and can't see anything.
I freeze listening for any noise. not even a cricket... this feels wrong every nerve in my body is screaming for me to run but I grip my insignificant weapon tightly and open the door anyway.
I step on to the asphalt and quickly shut the bonnet. I look up trying to find the source of the eerie light and see a starwars looking ship above me and 5 huge horned and winged humanoids right in front of me. ALIENS! what in the hell would they want with me? I am an insignificant human being in the grand scheme of things.
"Hello my name is Violet, who are you?" I ask calmly keeping all 5 firmly in my line of sight.
"we are warriors from Jupiter's moon Callisto. We need you to come with us" he said in a gravely and strange accent.
"why?"
"because we have been ordered by our king to find you"
"why?"
"because he wishes to meet you"
"why?"
"I don't know"
"thanks but, no thanks. I am on holidays" I politely decline.
"that isn't an option" he retorted sounds amused.
"I will not come easy" I smile.
"your choice" he says nodding at his silent friends.
they move forward much faster then most humans. I smile at them sweetly as they reach for me I use the car door as a block and drop to my knees and slide the Stanley knife across both of their heels. their high pitched wailing split the air as they dropped to the ground. Expecting the others to already be on top of me I slash upwards as I stand and feel my knife hit flesh. the last two grab the knife from my hand. and throw it across the road in try to restrain me by grabbing my right wrist.
"big mistake" I smile at him and move my wrist and hand in a quick circle braking his grip, using the momentum I punch him in the nose with my left fist it impacts with a loud crunch and a satisfying spray of bright blue blood. I feel a needle in my neck and everything goes black.
