Alien Invasion

The man before her looked nothing like she had been expecting. His eyes weren't black. His alien fangs weren't showing. In fact, he seemed to have no fangs at all. And… he wasn't as slimy as a toad like the aliens she had encountered before. He was pale compared to humans, but he wasn't that sickly shade of grey like all the other Aliens she had previously seen. And the most striking thing of all was that… he was just… breathtaking.Juliet was lost in a trance but was immediately jolted back to the present when she heard someone clear their throat.She couldn't tear her eyes off his as she slowly lifted her hand to place it in his outstretched one. His eyes were silvery gray, akin to the bright moon, and they were full of life, as if there were many stars swirling within them. Then there were his lashes… they were so indecently long and thick for a man. His lips, his jaw, his nose… every single part of him rendered her speechless. She had never seen another human who had been fashioned

The inside of the carriage was enveloped with silence. The prince simply remained still, closing his eyes as if he had shut himself down.The night was getting deeper and Julie could now feel the fatigue and dizziness from the rollercoaster of emotions from the day that even though she wanted to ponder her situation more, her mind began to float like clouds drifting aimlessly. She had been unable to sleep the few days before her wedding because of thoughts about her wedding and the aliens she was going to marry so she felt a little like a zombie. She felt lightheaded and dizzy and she tried to find the right position for her to sleep, but to her dismay, whenever she did manage to nod off, the carriage bounced on the rough patches on the road and she was awakened again. At times, it was so bad that she nearly bumped her head against the wall.This was the first time she had travelled by night, but Julie knew she had to endure this. Her wedding was a secret and only the royals and her fa

The sight of her surroundings made her swallow and goosebumps crawled on her skin. It wasn't just because of the biting cold, it was mostly because the valley felt absolutely eerie. In fact, eerie might still be an understatement to describe the place. All the countless trees were coal black and leafless as if they were all scorched to death. Black ravens were settled on the tree branches and they all looked like they were staring straight at them. Julie couldn't see any plant that seemed to still be alive.A thick layer of snow had iced the ground. The fog was also thick that even though it was still morning, it already felt like twilight. It felt like the darkness would soon settle in and she imagined those notorious beasts suddenly appearing from the thick mist surrounding them."I- I think we should go on," she stammered.Alex's head whipped around to face her."But you're clearly –""I'm fine.""You're not."Julie met his gaze and was surprised at what she saw in his moon-like ey

The poor little bunny moved and peeked at him through her silver-blond locks but the moment their eyes met, she flinched and buried her face again.Alex's eyebrows twitched from the realization that the bunny was scared of him, not at the dead beasts that were scattered around him. He shut his eyes and when he opened them again, his eyes were no longer black. He ran his fingers through his hair and patiently, he tried to coax the bunny once more.Slowly, he climbed inside the carriage, moving very carefully as he approached and squatted before her."The beasts are dead. You're safe now. No one can hurt you," he said, but the girl still didn't move. Alex knew that there was no way it would be easy for this little terrified bunny to crawl back to him again after what she saw. However, he could see that she was on the verge of freezing herself to death. Glancing at the crumpled blanket on the carriage floor, Alex picked it up. "At least take this blanket, Juliet.""Come, let's warm you u

Julie frantically surveyed herself. There seemed to be nothing unusual with her body. The Alien prince didn't seem to have done anything to her while she was asleep, she just somehow knew it.She looked at his sleeping face again and her shoulders relaxed. A long sigh escaped her lips before she looked around the room. It was vast and the windows were covered with thick maroon curtains. The ceiling was also very high. It was a little dark but Julie could tell it was daylight. How long did she sleep? Was she in the village across the Green Forest?But judging from the size of this room, it somehow seemed to be a master room of a huge castle. Was there a huge castle in the very first village across the border? Or could it be that this wasn't the village anymore?The thought that she was finally in the foreign land, the land she and all her friends used to imagine as a place as good as hell, made her subconsciously hug herself. She didn't tremble in fear but there was a peculiar churning
