The Invasion

Chapter Seven - Meeting Korma.

Doctor Fawn receives a text from Leah: “Just reported to the FBI. Told them EVERYTHING”. A frown appears on the Doctor’s face. Slamming his car door, he drives to the supposed address of the countryside’s graveyard.

The quietness of the graveyard is deafening. The doctor creeps out of his car holding a box. “The corpse of the alien's children would be mine” he laughs, trying to act hysterical. His laughter echoes, that scares him.

Walking through the straight line of the graveyard, he stumbles on something. It looked like a bangle. He peers closer to it. It had an inscription that read “Zeug”. The same bangle was found on the hand of SPEC 601. On the left hand but on his right hand, nothing.

Doctor Fawn smiles as he looks around. If that was there, then they are good chances SPEC 601 landed with a portal nearby. The farmer must have been right all along.

Ahead of him, three heaps of sand. Their size couldn’t be the size of an adult nor a child infact. Maybe a baby. He walks to the first heap. Stretching his hand to touch it, a flying knife strikes on the sand.

The doctor flees back and turns. A figure dressed in black begins moving towards him. “You’re alien, aren’t you?” Doctor Fawn retorts.

“My name is Korma da Zin, daughter of Lord Zin of the sixth valley. I swear unto you human, you shall not leave here alive” Korma smirks.

The Doctor starts a hot run to his car. Korma retrieves her knife from the sand and pursues him.

Mara kept looking at her mother’s phone. She was actually the one who had sent the message. Even though, the Doctor’s plan wasn’t good enough, he shouldn’t be left in the dark from all this.

He’s so obsessed to know more about them. They could use his knowledge.

Her mother walks out of the Chief of the FBI's office. “All good?” Mara asked. “All good.” Leah responded. Mara hands Leah her phone, Leah tries making a call to the doctor.

Doctor Fawn couldn’t answer it.

Korma was fast in running. The only possible way is to hide from her. But a graveyard doesn’t have so many hiding spots. He was glad, he kept his phone on 'silent' or his loud ringing tone would have sold him out.

“Hide with your daughter” he texts back at Leah. With the message being sent, he switched off his phone.

He checks for Korma and doesn’t find her close. He comes out of his hiding place and makes a run to his car. A blow lands on his face. “I have been waiting for you” Korma says as she hits him again. Doctor Fawn stumbles, he grabs a dead branch from the floor.

“If you kill me, the whole Earth would chase you” he threatens. Korma throws her a knife at him, but he dodges it. He throws her the branch in his hands but misses.

Some feets away him, he sees his box. Korma moves closer to him holding another knife in her hands. Doctor Fawn grabs the box and brings out a syringe-like thing from inside it.

He charges towards Korma but she doesn’t move. She had assumed it was a sleeping injection and sleeping injections do not work on outer space creatures.

Unknown to her, the syringe – which wasn’t actually a syringe – was completely something else. An invention the doctor had made at the last minute. The object gets buried into her skins and some fluid dumps in her. She feels only slight pain. “You know nothing about aliens” Korma laughs when she recovered from the pain.

The doctor was now weak. He had use most of his strength a bit, he falls unconscious. Korma came close to him and stabs her knife on his sides.

She returns to a little cottage beside the graveyard, she took out some fuel and matches. Digging out the corpses of her off springs, she lay them out on the car.

She thought of taking the doctor with her to Zeug. Her father needed a human man. Well, the doctor was already half dead, and he wouldn’t be healthy enough for their use as he is probably in his sixties. Korma leaves him to die in the graveyard.

On her way out, she sees Doctor Fawn's phone. He had accidentally dropped it while running. She reboots it. “Leah!” she scoffs on seeing Leah’s message.

The FBI couldn’t destroy her. She has a well-organized plan. Mara must have told all her secret. Or else not even Leah or this doctor could have guessed out her true identity.

Well the FBI would have to find her before they could capture her. After staying on Earth for twelve years, Earth was like her playground. She could maneuver he way around here. And she had so many puppets in high places.

She thinks of something. “Why don’t I make a puppet out of the so-called Chief of the FBI?”. She had heard of the Chief’s attraction to beautiful young girls despite having a wife of his own. She would put that to good use and frustrate all Leah’s plans.

Suddenly, she began feeling a strange sensation around the place Doctor Fawn had stabbed her. It spread down to her body moving with a strange vibration. Liquid began flowing out of the spot. “Mawa.” Korma says softly.

(P.S: “Mawa” is the Zeug's term for “blood”. Zeuga’s believe that the blood is like the spirit of a person. So loosing blood means losing your spirit, to the Zeuga’s.)

She struggles to get into the cottage.

Mara wasn’t feeling so comfortable. The doctor wasn’t answering his call. Though her mother had said he was being snobbish because he’s angry, it’s still unlike him to just forget about the whole mission. He would naturally be interested in the FBI's decision against the alien.

Her mother was still giving reports to some FBI agent. Mara noticed she didn’t add Michael’s name in her confession, she just said “I know a man who has been manipulated by the alien”. Maybe her mother was trying to save Michael’s integrity somehow.
