If one of my classmates asked me "Maki what do you think of aliens", I would say "I don't care to be honest. I'm not the one who has kill them".
One day they came and started invading the earth. They just came, that's all. We don't know what they want, or why they are here. They can't talk, so we can't communicate with them.
It works like this here: The invader comes from the sky, their "space ship" is an egg by the way (it can be either small, medium or large. It depends on the level of the monster), yes, an egg, It stays under our surveillance till it hatches (it can take minutes, hours or days), and the alien comes out. Our duty is to kill it before it damages the city or harms people. They always land in the school's yard. Always. There must be something that attracts them.
Don't ask me why we kids have to kill them. Adults could do it! It is more dangerous for us! Nevermind, even if we asked they wouldn't answer us. Isn't it unfair? We could lose our lives, and they wouldn't do anything! Why would them let us die, we are just kids.
So, how do we kill them? We use Paxes. A Pax is a creature sealed in our soul, teachers can unseal it. Unless you aren't chosen in your school to kill the aliens, you won't get to see your little creature until you die. Every human has a Pax, and every Pax has a unique ability. The ability depends on the element of the Pax: Fire, Water, Light, Dark or Air.

-April 4-
I wake up in my small, pink room filled with anime posters of magical girls. I love magical girls! They always defeat the evil with their mysterious magic. Aaaaah they are super cool! I would like to be a magical girl too! Everyone would be envious of my powers eheh, oh no wait, I would have to keep it a secret! Anyway, in my room there's a computer on the desk, a lot of peluches, a mirror and a wardrobe.
I stand up, the cold floor gives me shivers. I look at myself at the mirror. I pinch my cheeks...it didn't work, I still am sleepy.
I quickly get dressed as I wash my teeth. I tell to myself not to panic, and that everything will be alright this year as well. I don't know why but I feel like something will go wrong today. I do breakfast and I run as fast as possible to my new school, I'm very late!
The entrance ceremony begins. The principal talks about boring stuff "We hope you'll find new friends..." bla bla bla "...try to give your best at school..." bla bla and other stuff. I look around me. The students are fewer than last year, well I can't blame them. everyone is scared, even their parents are scared, both for the aliens and for their kids' safety.
Woooah, hey, I'm near to you guys! I can hear you! Oh my god, this sounds so painful. I don't want to be a Destroyer, I could die, like that kid. How did he feel? What about their parents? No, what about the alien?! Did they kill it? And if it was still alive? Inside one of us?! Wouldn't that be extremely dangerous? I am the one throwing up now! Thank you guys for telling me such incident! But I want to know how it went, I'm scared but curious!
Mmmh? Why are they looking at me? Why is EVERYONE looking at me?! What did I do? Did I say something out loud? I'll apologize then, but don't look at me like that, that look of pity. Oh wait, why do you guys have that look of pity at me?
Someone touches my shoulder, and tell me in my ear
What, humanity? What's going on? Could you repe-
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Why does the principal want me? Nevermind, I stand up and go on the platform. He takes my left arm, and the right arm of another girl and raises our arms to the sky. The sky that day was beautiful; there weren't lots of clouds but a lot of birds singing. The sun was brighter than ever, there was a soft wind, the cherry blossoms had just blossomed, there were some little kids playing in the streets, playful dogs. Not to mention that today the people I met on my way to school were friendlier than usual. It was a perfect day, perfect before this entrance ceremony.
I feel so uncomfortable, but I feel like I'm important now...NO NO WAIT?! Me? A Destroyer? Was I...chosen? Why? Why Why Why Why? Why me? Why was I chosen? Look! There are at least 300 students, I don't want to put my life in danger! I haven't done anything bad in my life! I don't deserve this.
Shivers. The principal's eyes were staring into my soul. I can't move. I feel guilty for saying such things for some reason. Everything gets dark, the only things I can see are those eyes.
I'm not physically nor mentally prepared for this. What will my mother think about all this when she will find out that I was chosen. Hopefully she will do something, I want my normal daily life back.
We were taken in a large hovel. The hovel had 2 beds, 3 computers with informations about aliens. A lot of phials containing weird liquids I had never seen. A door, I tried to open it but it was locked. The bathroom was separated from the hovel. So you have to go outside huh? The other girl looks fine with all this. I've got to say that she is beautiful. She wears glasses that fit perfectly with her two bluesky-color eyes. She has full lips and big boobs, short purple-black hair and a serious look.
The teacher who took us here, tells us to lay down on a bad, so that she could unseal our Paxs. I'm so nervous, I've never seen one, I don't even know how they are. I hope it will be a water type, I like water. I drink a lot of water every day, I'm always thirsty.
I lay down on my bed. The teacher touches my back gently (while saying unpronounceable words) something like a massage, and then starts pressing on my backbone. Seals appear and...crack I lose consciousness.
Pitch dark. I can't see anything, I can feel my body, I feel observed, I start running but I fall in the dark. Something grabs my feet, I try to scream but I don't have voice. There's no sound in this empty place. Like quicksand, it pulls my body down. I can't think straight anymore. I start fidgeting, I throw punches to the floor but my hands get pulled down as well, I can't move anymore. I cry and lose all the hopes I had. I close my eyes, I try to relax. I think about my family: my little sister, my mom, my dead father. Why do I think about them? Is it because I'm dying...aaah bye bye world.
I regain consciousness but I can't stop screaming. I look behind me, there's the teacher and the other chosen one. Oh, she lost her serious look. Is she scared?
A weird living being appears in front of me. It looks like a ball, a black ball made by a lot of lianas twisted on themselves. It has one eye, the eye is in its core, you can barely see it because the lianas keep moving. I'm kind of disappointed, I wanted something cute, not that thing. How does it represent me?
She swallows. I can't blame her, it must have been traumatizing. I mean, I don't know what's happened after I passed out, but it wasn't something pleasing to see, I guess?
The ritual begins. Nare loses consciousness. Eh? What's happening? Her back slowly melts, I can see her backbone, I mean, I can clearly see it! I go out and I start puking. What was that? Did my backbone melted like hers? I touch my back, but I can touch my smooth skin, I still have it. After 5 minutes I enter. She's...normal? Wasn't her backbone melting? How could she recover in few minutes...I can't even...
Oi oi that's the opposite of mine. I feel a bit hurt inside! That's not fair! Does this mean I'm ugy? Pfff I don't like this girl. Who do you think you are? sigh HER PAX IS SUPER CUTE! It looks so fluffyyy!!! I want to touch it! I turn to my Pax. I will make it feel guilty, ha, I snort.
<
I'm a bit nervous to be honest, I don't want to die but with that thing that rolls on the floor (Maki's Pax) around me I feel a bit stronger. I feel like my strength did an upgrade. Can't wait to see it in action, but just it, not me. I'm not ready to fight.
