It was night time , and Groux was exited to go to Earth, he has only been there once and it was an amazing time for him.
The axis of the two worlds aligned and there was a crackle in the sky of the monsters planet, then lightning, then thunder, and a huge blueish portal opened in the sky, a beam of Lazer-like-light shot down from the sky to the ground lifting up rocks and any other thing on the ground up into the portal.
Different animals A K.A monsters,were already waiting at ground of the portal.
"I'm so excited" Groux said with a screech.
"Calm down, let's wait for the other monsters to go, so we don't get hit on the way up" Said Brox.
Groux sighted some other ones of his species going up the portal.
"Dad, what is our species called again ? " Asked Groux.
"We don't generally have a name but we normally call ourselves Albus"Brox replied."Okay, looks like it's our turn"
They went to the base ot the light that came from the portal and they started rising into the air ,and about a minute later they went through the portal.
Brox and Groux appeared like a tiny blue explosion in the night sky of the earth, there was no portal, just the appearance of the monsters, they fell slowly, straight, on a line to the ground, which had a blue circle on it. And it's same thing for the other creatures, they all land in the blue circle.
"I still can't get over the fact that their plants are green while ours is red"Said Brox. "Remember son, do not go into any form of light, human made or natural, and we are leaving before their sun rises"
"Yup, I can never forget, their sun burns us alive,and only some of their light burns us, but we can't identify it, so we stay away from all light" Groux said like a nerd.
The ground portal was in the forest and they walked deeper into the forest. Brox took Groux to the end of the forest, where they can see the large city.
"One day , we too will discover how to make technology and be great like them" Brox said sentimentality. "Okay , soooo, we are hunting a buffalo, that huge fat animal that looks like a Mooraine, but it's not here , so we'll look for an antelope".
"Okay" Groux replied.
They searched almost all night for any form of meat but they couldn't find any.
"It's only a few hours till sunrise, we most go now" Said Brox.
"Dad, let's just learn to cultivate animals , like every other human and Albus does" Said Groux. Brox immediately burst into laughter, wheezing loudly."What ?" Groux asked in perplexity.
"Animals aren't cultivated, they are reared" Brox said in between laughs.
"Ha ha , very funny " Groux said sarcastically. "WAIT!!!" Groux shouted.
"WHAT ?" Brox said in fear. "Is it a human ?"
"No , an antelope " Groux pointed at the youth antelope, grazing on the lush ground.
"Great eyesight son" Brox said in excitement." Prepare yourself, like we do on our planet "
They buried themselves in the thick grass , crawling silently until they are very close to the antelope, Groux was at the antelope's front, while Brox was at the back, their plan was for Brox to scare the antelope, and as it was about to run forward Groux will grab it. Brox counted down with his fingers to Groux, three....two.... one. Brox jumped up and the antelope panicked , it ran forward and Groux popped up also, and this was the moment their plan took an unexpected failure. As Groux hands were just inches away from the antelope, the antelope's spine twisted wildly to the right and ran.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
"What the ....how did that happened" Groux said in extreme confusion. Both of them ran after the animal, chasing it with all their strength, each time they were very close to catching it, it'll hop and take and unexpected turn, dribbling them in a satisfying manner. They tried and tried to catch it but it was all in vain.
Little by Little Brox noticed the forest getting brighter and realized, they were about to run into the city.
"Groux , stop" Brox called in fear.
"Don't worry Dad, I'm about to catch it"
"Groux STOP" Brox , shouted but the words fell on deaf ears . Brox stopped running but Groux continued. The antelope ran into the city and Groux followed without realizing it , soon they were in the middle of an express way and a car hit the antelope , causing the car to hit another car beside it and there was an accident. Then Groux realized where he was , on a road in the city of Lagos in Nigeria, Africa.
"Oh my Goodness"Groux said in extreme fear. People came out of their car and a traffic jam was formed. Murmurs and confusion was everywhere.
"Psst" Brox called. Groux looked and saw his father. "Come fast" But Groux couldn't move, he was in paralysis.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS ?"A man shouted " How can you be painting yourself white and disturbing the peace of the city"
"I'm so sorry" Groux said . But his voice wasn't like that if a human, it was thicker, with a resonating crack.
"What the fu...." A woman exclaimed.
"Are you wearing skin as a wrapper" Said another man.
"I don't think that's a human being" said a young male youth. Someone pointed a flash light on Groux's face and Groux was about to have a heart attack because he was afraid the light would kill him, but it didn't. When everyone saw Groux's red eyes they panicked and screamed, some tried to drive away but the traffic jam was already too congested.
"Let's kill this thing" A man shouted, and a group of men grabbed anything they could use as weapons and ran towards Groux.
"Nooooo" Brox exclaimed silently.
Out of confusion, Groux ran for his life, deeper into the city. Chased by a group of armed men, Groux ran into the market place, destroying everything in his path, stalls , food baskets and pushing people away. Groux saw a little corner and hid in it .
"Where is he" A man said.
"Maybe it was even someone playing a prank" They returned to the congested road filled with police officers.
Groux didn't know what to do, he was extremely confused, beyond measurement, he stood there for as long as he could remember, he decided to leave and find the forest . He walked out and saw that humans weren't that much, as it was night time, during his time of hiding, he noticed that humans would go into a fine building with a clothing and come out with another clothing and a shopping bag. He sneaked into the shop and noticed that only one human was there, and the human was sleepy, he grabbed a long sleeve hoody and a long trousers, basically, anything that could cover him, he ran outside, back to wear he hid , took off his animal skin and put on his new clothes. He came out with a hoody , trousers and socks, no shoe.
He walked slowly and shyly on the sidewalk, people were staring at him, dazzling at his white face and red hands.
"He has really long arms" Groux heard a lady say.
He continued walking and he noticed the forest, he was really happy, and he also noticed the world was getting brighter, the sun was rising, he ran with all his might, his hands stretched to the back, and his knees bent, that's how their species run. He got into the forest and finally found the portal, with his dad in the circle, sitting, with a mourning face.
"DAD" Groux shouted, he took of his hoody and socks in excitement, leaving him in the trousers.
Brox jerked up. "Groux ?"
"DAD , IM HERE" Brox jumped up high and celebrated.
"QUICK, RUN" Groux wanted to run, but there was a problem, the blue circle was in the sun , and the sun wasn't hurting his father because his father was the circle, and the circle was starting to shrink, they were the last creatures from the monster world to return.
"I CAN'T, THE SUN" Groux shouted.
"DON'T WORRY, I DON'T THINK IT'LL DO MUCH DAMAGE, RUN" Groux ran with all his energy and might, speeding into the sun , but the moment the ray of sunlight touched him, his skin turned red, as though he was a burning coal and he began to scream wildly , his trousers caught fire and Groux fell to the ground, lifeless.
Brox was extremely dumbstruck, refusing to believe we had just happened, the earth portal closed, causing Brox to disappear back into his world.
