Our World

Maria-Jose Villamar

    Peter and I planned our great scape. As we arrived to school, the patrols had to go to the other side to enter the building. Our best friends already knew what we were up to so they agreed to help us.
    They took our backpacks and put them in our seats. By the time class was starting, we were sitting in our Falcon ready to fly away.
    Peter and I headed to Niktapo.
    We were two hours away from our destination when the Falcon’s alarm was activated. The patrols had installed a tracking device without us knowing it.
    Peter and I took our seats and started driving the plane as fast as possible to escape. He was in charge of the speed and I was in charge of the shooting. We did well until we finally got to Niktapo.
    By the time we arrived, our father had contacted the president.

    “They can’t be accepted into Niktapo or we will attack your country.” My father told him.

    “If you want me to reject them, you must do something. I don’t want to treat them if they were our enemies” said the President.
    “Ok, then I’m sending my soldiers to stop them.”
    As soon as they arrived, the soldiers confront them.
    “Now what?” I asked Peter.
    He was walking in circles. I could see his despair. He stopped, looked at me and said,
    “The Earth, that’s it”.
    We hopped on our plane, the Falcon.
    Our last hope was Earth, so we couldn’t let this opportunity vanish.

    We were flying down, when suddenly things started to change. Things we had never seen before came across our road. Earth was totally different of what we had known in our planet. We saw deaths, despair. Fear and other horrible feelings were reflected in our eyes.
    The people that used to live in Earth destroyed this place. Our planet was living in the future. But Earth was living in the past. So our vehicle started to fail. In less than two minutes, we were falling and there was nothing we could do.
    Five minutes later we were under the water trying to escape. We were scared, as we didn’t know the place. Also, we couldn’t be discovered because we were very different than the people living here. Our skin, clothes and way of speaking were rare.
    We got out our Falcon as fast as possible with our emergency space suits. We swam under very cold water until we saw an empty harbor

    Today it has been 100 years since we landed in this place. We have been learning through all this time how to be more like “them”. The wish of going back to the future, to our home, is greater every day.
    By this time, my father’s time in the government must have finished. Also we should be starting University. As we are forever young, I just hope someday, pretty soon we could get back to our world and be happy.
