Trapped with Her
Synopsis
Could you imagine what Earth would look like after Alien Invasion? 'Trapped with Her' will give you a glimpse of that reality as a man journeyed with the only girl left on planet to find answers... *** When the world suddenly became empty and no one was found in it except me and the aliens. This only means one thing to me; I've survived the invasion of aliens. But sadly I just woke up from the coma to realize I was alone. No sign of anyone. The world is deserted and no one to keep me company. The once-thriving metropolises now stand as skeletal sentinels, a testament to humanity's absence. Crumbling skyscrapers pierce the sky like shards of glass, their windows blown out, leaving gaping holes that stare like empty eyes. The spooking sound of the empty city could whisper to me to 'survive.' With all eagerness to find answers and on my way to discover what has happened to the entire human race, I will eventually seek out to know if I'm the only survivor. It's a crucial time and I can't do this alone but be part of a team of survivors that would kick the aliens' asses. Searching out survivors won't be an easy task but it's a way to survive. I can see through their humongous half-green eyes but I won't let it terrify me. Neither will I be frightened by their appearances of bald heads, white pale skin. It's okay to be afraid but I will be courageous to resist the fear that suddenly wants to consume me. Even though the aliens possess a lethal weapon that fires glowing blue balls, I resist, I won't be a victim of their weapon because I could hear the silence of the city whisper to me, 'survive.' When they shoot me with their lethal weapon, I could take cover and run as fast as I could without looking back. I'm certain I'm not the only one that would have survived the invasion of the aliens. This isn't their world but my world. At least I know the hood more than they do. My quest to find other survivors won't be cut short. I will survive and planet earth will thrive again.

7 Days Ago.
"We're being shot at! I repeat we are being shot at," Jimmy yelled over the talkie.
He is radioing his captain who has earlier instructed him and his team to carry out friendly training in the woods. Some hours later in the woods with some of his comrades, their training turned bloody.
"Shot by whom?" the captain gaped as he enquired over the talkie on the other side.
Jimmy brought the talkie close to his mouth and replied in a quivering voice filled with anxiety, "Not by 'whom' but by what?"
He's taking cover with some of his comrades behind a rock. Some of his comrades have been hit. They weren't training with a real bullet but 5.56 mm non-lethal marking rounds. This bullet has two primers. The forward primer propels a wax-filled projectile that marks with colored wax upon contact. The wax washes out with normal laundry procedures. They can't engage with such a bullet.
"What the hell are you talking about?" the captain enquired with mixed feelings. He wasn't there to see what Jimmy was talking about but from the way Jimmy sounded, it calls for keenness.
Jimmy peeped through the rock and immediately leaned back once more behind the rock. "There's a fucking half-green eye monster shooting at us!" Jimmy yelled over the talkie. He is certain of what he's seeing. They just ran into a creature with a bald head, pale white skin, and humongous half-green eyes. What baffles Jimmy and his comrades is that this creature possesses a lethal weapon that fires glowing blue balls instead of bullets. When hit with the glowing blue balls, it blasts the victims away with a deadly shockwave.
"What the crap?" the captain exclaimed. The description of their attacker sounds strange. Since his entire life as a marine, he has never seen anything like that. "You should return fire!" the captain added.
"Are you fucking kidding me, sir? We don't have real bullets on us, send support!" Jimmy cried out.
Jimmy Davis through his entire years in the marine has displayed how bold he is in the face of danger. There was a time his base was invaded. He knew what to do but decided to seek permission before he could engage. He radioed his commander. 'We are under attack,' he said.
'Why the hell are you fucking around? Return fire. I repeat, return fire!' the commander yelled over and over again making sure Jimmy copied.
Faced with the same fate, Jimmy is out of ideas. He got no real bullets on him neither are his comrades. It's quite obvious that they can't engage. As they were hiding behind a rock, the creature walks up to them and grabbed one of the men. The creature lifted him above the rock and smashed his head on the rock.
Fear gripped the rest. It's just the three of them that have survived the attack of the creature. Jimmy was shivering in fear at the sight of the creature. He narrowed his gaze at the creature and swallowed a lump in his throat. "What the hell are you?" he asked.
"We come in peace!" the creature replied in a static voice. He reloaded his lethal weapon with a white magazine and had it pointed at Jimmy. "We come in peace," the creature added.
Before the creature could pull the trigger, Jimmy rolled over. His action enraged the creature as he flicked around and started shooting aimlessly. The two other comrades of Jimmy were hit. The force from the glowing blue balls blasted them away with a deadly shockwave.
"Oh no!" Jimmy cried out. Realizing he is all left alone, he pulled himself up and started running toward the camp they set inside the woods. As he was running he was pondering what the creature has said: 'We come in peace.' This made his mind troubled that the creature might not be alone. And again, he wondered why the creature claims to have come in peace and yet has killed his men. None of this made sense to him.
As soon as he got to the camp, he quickly jumped into the military jeep and drove off. Thinking he was already getting away from the creature, he was disappointed when he saw the creature standing a few kilometers away from him with his lethal weapon pointed toward the military jeep.
"Fuck me!" Jimmy exclaimed as he swerved off the rocky road. He just made the wrong turn in his life. He's heading towards the rocky hills. As he was about to jump off the jeep, the creature fired multiple shots at him destroying the jeep with the shockwave from its lethal weapon.
"My work here is done," said the creature in a static voice as he put down his weapon.
An Hour Later.
Jimmy's captain didn't abandon his men in the woods. He sent a helicopter to rescue them but they arrived late. However, they were able to find Jimmy who was fatally wounded. He managed to jump off the jeep before the creature fired shots at the military jeep.
"Stay with me Jimmy," echoed one of the nurses.
They were fast enough to get Jimmy to the nearest hospital after they managed to stop his bleeding. When he jumped off the jeep, he hit his head on a rock.
"Stay with me… Keep your eyes open…"
Jimmy drifts in and out of consciousness but this isn't the time to let him close his eyes.
"Jimmy… Jimmy… Don't shut your eyes!"
"Jimmy, can you hear me? Keep your eyes open!"
The nurses did their best to keep him awake. They kept on calling for his attention to be awake as they quickly rushed into the operation room. But his eyes were already shut by the time they could get to the main ward.
Chapter 2 _ The Encounter | Trapped with Her

7 Days Later The only thing on Jimmy was a white loose flowing gown. He narrowed his eyes down at the gown. Nothing is making sense to him at all. His head still hurt a bit and was still dressed in a strip of woven material used to bind up a wound--to protect an injured part of the body.
On realizing his head was dressed with a bandage, it occurred to him, that the white loose gown must have been from the hospital downtown but what he can't figure out was what he was doing in the middle of the road. He should be in the hospital and not standing in the middle of the road with abandoned cars surrounding him.
"What is going on here?" he mutters under his breath.
There is no sign of anyone. It's a ghost town. The only thing he could see was cars with no driver on them. Some of the cars are already burnt and some look as if they had a fatal car crash. He teetered towards one of the cars with his right hand holding his lower abdomen. He can still feel pains down his abdomen and left side ribs.
On getting to a black Lexus that crashed through the wall of a mini shop, he peeped through the broken wall of the mini shop but there was no sign of anyone. His thought went back to the deserted city of Coast Land when he was sent for a peacekeeping mission during the invasion of a terrorist group. For a moment he thought that New York City have been invaded by an enemy troop. He couldn't wait to see to the end what has happened to his beautiful city. All he wanted was answers but obviously, there was no one around to give him that. He moved towards the iron door of the mini shop and gave it a gentle push.
The glass door flung open and greeted him with a soft breeze. He teetered into the shop and everything looks normal. The shop was still intact except for the broken wall as a result of the black Lexus that crashed through the wall. Everything in the shop looks normal and there was no sign of robbery. The goods are intact but there was no sign of anyone.
"Where did everyone go?" he asked looking around. Nothing could come to mind. He's lost in his thoughts.
As he was still looking around, it occurred to him he was still in a loose white gown and he needed something else to wear. He didn't wait for a second but moved towards one of the hangers and pulled out black pants and a white shirt. "Perhaps this will do," he whispered to himself as he unfolded the shirt.
Not quite long after he had dressed, he heads back to the entrance door. As he was inspecting the black Lexus car that crashed through the walls of the mini shop, he started hearing a sound like that of a radio wave receiver. The sound wasn't coming from the black Lexus car. It was coming from his behind. He flicked around in haste. Before Jimmy, stood a lady, she was dressed in a white flowing gown with a red cape.
"Did you know what happened here?" asked Jimmy as he slowly moved towards the lady expecting a reply but the lady went mute. "I just woke up and found out things aren't the same again," Jimmy continued.
As Jimmy was about to speak further, the lady's eyes turned humongous half-green.
"What the hell!" Jimmy let out a scream as he quickly draws back. He remembered seeing this type of eyes days ago. The only difference is the lady wasn't looking like the creature he encountered in the woods during friendly training with his comrades.
The lady slowly raised her left hand and placed a finger in her left ear. "I have come across a human, what should I do?"
"Fuck!" Jimmy exclaimed realizing the lady was using a radio earpiece. One thing is not certain as he couldn't tell who the lady was talking to on the radio earpiece "Who the hell are you?" he asked expressing nervousness.
There was no response from the lady. She was busy listening to further instructions over the radio earpiece. It's now clear to Jimmy that she has contacted someone. She was wearing a tiny earpiece that is not visible to Jimmy's eye.
Jimmy Davis was still trying to analyze what is happening around him when the lady pulled out a lethal weapon and have it pointed toward Jimmy. The lethal weapon looks exactly like the weapon the creature in the woods used against him and his comrades seven days ago.
On recognizing the lethal weapon, Jimmy slides across the black Lexus, taking cover. He can still recall how his comrades died and how he ended up in the hospital but what he can't remember was how he ended up in the middle of the road dressed in a hospital gown. As he was thinking about what next to do, he remembered how the force from the lethal weapon destroyed the military jeep he was in. At this thought, he realized the black Lexus can't protect him from what was coming. He quickly ran towards the iron door of the mini shop and slammed shut the door behind him.
"I'm doomed!" he said panting heavily as he held his lower abdomen. He can still feel pain. What he needs right now is to rest but how can he get it when he has someone after him with a deadly weapon?
The next thing he heard was a blast. The force from the lethal weapon blasted open the iron door of the mini shop. The lady made her way into the mini shop and started scanning the inside of the shop with her humongous half-green eyes.
Jimmy has nowhere to run but he can hide. He was hiding behind the brick counter still panting. He has been one of the bravest Marine Corps in the history of the US Marines. However, to him, this is not the time to play bravely but the time to survive.
The lady can hear his panting. It's as if she can hear his breath. Immediately, her focus diverted toward the brick counter as she started making her way to the counter. "I can smell you from here," she said standing in front of the counter with her lethal weapon pointed toward the counter. "I can make it easy for you if you comply," she added.
