Soulmate

The descendant of Myra

“Destination…” came the electronic voice.

“Base, downtown.” He replied.

“Is it like a tranformer?” Rose asked tentatively as the car sped  smoothly through the roads.

“No, It doesn’t tranform into a robot but it can change forms into various cars…”

“Jesse and me likes the blue better…” came the electronic voice.

The way it spoke reminded Rose; an exuberant child.

“Blue is the youngest like in human terms he is 13 years may be but technically he is 140…” Jesse explained.

Rose liked the car, it would respond mostly in songs. It was chirpy and vivacious. She wanted a car like Blue someday.

“What’s a base?” Rose asked as Blue announced that they are 2minutes away from their destination.

“It’s the operating base for all the invader activities. The whole downtown lies hidden from all the oldies… It’s better to see for yourself rather than my explaining…” Jesse said.

“Yeah! Blue goes to Downtown …” sang Blue.

They approached a small cottage with a small garage, the whole house was withered away. It seemed to be that there was no living person inside the house. As Blue approached the the wooden garage, the shutters lifted up as if it was motion sensor.

Weird! Abandoned house, modern technologhy. Rose thought.

Rose craned her neck out of the window to see empty space. There was a red circle in the center of the garage. Blue stopped in the circle.

“Don’t panic. Did you wear your seat belt?” He asked.

When Jesse don’t do something that’s what exactly Rose did. Suddenly, the earth below them gave away, Rose clutched the belt tighterm,she felt as if her organs would slip down out of their place. The force was so great. She screamed at the top of her lungs and her cries died down as the chirpy loud cries of Blue echoed in the glass like container that worked like  a slide. They twisted and turned as if it was a roller coaster ride.

Rose held her breath each time they came down. She prayed for it to end quickly after what seemed to be endless minutes of torture she felt Blue getting ready for a showdown.  She knew the landing be a combination of grating sounds and damaging but Blue cushioned the fall with his special gadjets and it was a pretty smooth landing.

“Whoooo!” Blue whizzed past the deserted streets. A few grocery shops and small pulled down houses passed by them.

“Blue… Slow down.” Jesse said.

They drove past a row of shops, a shop contained gadjets, another weird looking animals, another containing a Spa, It was like a regular shopping street only there were invaders instead of Earthlings looking after the shop.

“Hey, Baby…” Blue wolf whistled.

Rose saw Jesse looking out of the window at a pink lambhorghini.

“Shut up, Blue…” Came another metallic voice. Rose couldn’t miss the authoritative matured voice of a woman.

“Blue likes her but I can’t say the same with her…” Jesse said.

“OH! Blue….” Rose really felt sorry for him. He was really a nice boy though she expected some kind of matured behavior for a 145 year old lad.

“Stay in the lot, no going after missy…” Jesse warned as he got out.

“Do you think he will stay…?” Rose asked as Blue drove away in a snake path, baby song blaring loudly from his sound systerm.

“No way…” Jesse smiled.

They stood by the base entrance where a guy dressed in blue uniform stood, Jesse stood in front of him as if he was expecting that man to check him. The man took of his black glasses, his eyes shed bright red light that shed on Jesse, the light scanned his entire body.  Jesse stepped in as soon as the man had his glasses on again. He did the same with Rose and let her in.

They walked by the reception area where a lady was sitting, one hand holding the receiver, the other taking down the notes at inhumane speed, another set of hands were folding and sealing the envelopes.

“She has four hands…” Rose exclaimed.

Rose was so engrossed in the invaders that walked freely on the grounds. There were invaders who looked totally humane and then there were invaders taking shape of a combination of animals and yet behaved human. It was like a MIB movie only far better in reality.

“Stay here, I’ll be back in  a few.” Jesse said.

Rose was sat in a cafeteria, the delicious smell of the food made her stomach rumble. She didn’t have any money and she sat staring at the menu deciding what to order when Jesse was back.

“You seem to be starving…” A sweet yet powerful voice said.

Rose was expecting it to be an invader, she turned around with a perfect smile only to see a beautiful woman in her mid thirties staring at her. Her soft brown eyes reminded Rose about her Gramps…

“I’m waiting for my friend…”Rose said smiling.

The lady sat herself on the opposite chair, her movement was really gracious as if she was a queen from the era where Kings and Queen’s lived.

“But your stomach is in disagreement with you…” she said smiling as it rumbled again.

The lady placed her plate of grilled sadnwich in front of Rose while she munched another one. Rose seemed hesitant but than her growling stomach roared in protest.She took a quick bite thinking what wrong could happen.

“I’m Elisa but you can call me Lisa or Lis…” she said smiling.

“I’m Rose…” Rose said still munching on the sandwich. The people who walked past them either bent a little or greeted Lis by calling her ‘mam.’ She must be in a high position Rose thought.

“Tell me about you…” Lis smiled.

Rose didn’t know what came over her, she barely knew the woman but there she was sitting with her, sharing food with her and telling her everything about her life and about the past few days.

“You are really lucky to be alive after being attacked by them…”

“Rose…” Jesse came running to her as she saw her talking with someone. She didn’t want anyone to know about her yet.

It wasn’t until he saw who it was,he relaxed a wee-bit.

“Your majesty…”he bowed.

“Jesse…?”Lis looked at Rose for conformation and she nodded.

“Call me Lisa…” she said.

“It’s nice meeting you Jesse, Rose was telling about your bravery…” she said.

Jesse smiled unable to trust his voice to speak. He knew about her; Elisa the last direct descendent of the noble family  ‘myra.’ The powerful yet humble director of the Base.

“Mam…We have an emergency.” A black suit person said.

“It’s nice meeting you, Rose. Hope we’ll meet each other again.” She gentle kissed Rose on the forehead and apparated.

Rose felt a well of emotions churning inside her, her soft lips and her tender touch it was affectionate and full of love. She liked the lady very much and had a gut feeling that she was going to see her often.
