Auni stirred and fluttered her eyes open. She was in a bright, white room. Auni blocked her eyes with the back of her hand and sat up. The bed she lay in, a white lamp table with a lamp on it, and a large mirror were the only things in the room. The door was a perfect white, making it almost impossible to see. Pulling off the white covers of the bed, she put her feet on the cold floor and stood up. To her surprise, she was no longer in her school uniform but a long, loose white gown. It’s long sleeves fanned out at the end. Wiping her eyes, she walked over to the window. But before she could really study the strange outside world the door opened. Auni spun around and looked at a woman in her late thirties or early forties. She had bleach-blonde hair that was pulled into a tight bun at the top of her head. Her outfit was a tight blue dress that hugged her immensely, stretching to her high-heeled shoes where it flared slightly. Her face was very pale, and her eyes silver/blue. And she almost looked Asian
“Who are you?” Auni asked in timid a voice, but it didn’t waver in fear.
“I am Miss Aadile.” The lady said. “Welcome to O.T.B. I am here to know if you’re hungry.”
Auni looked at her with suspicion, but nodded her head slowly, her eyes slightly showing her fear. The lady, Miss Aadile, mumbled something as she pulled out a white clipboard and wrote something down.
“I’ll be back soon.” said Miss Aadile as she shut the door.
Auni let out a slight sigh and turned back to the window. Outside there were stars everywhere. Blue, yellow, red, white; so many different colors filled the sky. And at the corner of the window was a huge star. That looks familiar. Studying the star closer, her breath caught in her throat. It’s the sun! There, so much farther away then she was use to, the sun was shining just like nothing was different. Which it wasn’t. Except I’m in a space ship. She wrapped her arms around, hugging herself for comfort. A tear or two slipped down her cheek. What’s going on?
Isn’t it obvious? You’ve been kidnapped. Something said in her head.
“Who is that?” Auni said, the back of her hair standing up.
There is no reason to speak, unless you want to have people take you as crazy. You are the only one who can hear me. It replied.
What have they done to me? Auni was just about ready to scream.
Fine, seeing that I’m scaring you to pieces, I shall leave till you are ready to listen.
Suddenly, the door opened and Auni almost jumped on the blonde lady. Looking startled at Auni’s jumpiness, Miss Aadile set a platter with empty plates on the lamp stand. Waving her hands over the plates and muttering something, a whole meal popped up at of nowhere. Without meaning to, Auni’s mouth dropped open. Miss Aadile looked up at her and smirked.
“Come eat,” said she, “And after, the director wishes to see you. There are things he wants to go over.”
Auni slowly walked over toward the table, but stopped abruptly. Her knees began to shake and she felt weak. Not caring that someone was in the room, she let herself pass out on the bed. But she wasn’t completely out, she could hear the voice of the lady talk into a receiver and someone reply back. Then she heard more foot steps come in and felt the presence of someone leaning over her.
“... she is still going to take the test.” one said, it sounded like Miss Aadile.
“Yeah, she seems well enough. She’s not use to the air...” another voice said, much deeper and younger.
Auni drifted off completely back to her own world. It was blurred a fuzzy around the edges, but she could see someone approaching her house. It was a young man, about her age, and he rang the doorbell. But someone shook Auni and she woke up instantly; blinking once more at the painful whiteness of the room.

This must be the house. said Kioshi as he walked up the steps of Auni’s light green house. He had finally made it to earth, breaking the portal completely that had once said it wouldn’t open. Kioshi was wearing a dark outfit. Black pants with a black top that on the left side was sleeveless but on the right it had a type of shield that covered just his upper arm. On his chest was a metal bear with a ring through its mouth, it resembled a door knocker. The black top opened up in the middle of his chest reveling a dark, dark grayish-blue top. He rang the door bell and took off his sunglasses. The door knob moved and the door opened. A small girl with her brown hair pulled back in a high pony tail looked up at Kioshi. She frowned slightly then smiled.
“You must be a friend of Auni?” she said. Kioshi easily heard her youngness through her voice. He smiled tenderly at her.
“Yes, I am a friend of Auni. Is she here?” said Kioshi. The little girl frowned again.
“No. Something happened to her.”
Kioshi’s jaw tightened but he didn’t let the little girl see his anger. He tried to hide all his emotions.
“What happened?” he asked.
The little girl shrugged, “I don’t know. No one told me that something happened. I just know.” she checked behind the door then looked at Kioshi with concern. “ I can see through her eyes.”
Kioshi’s breath was lost for a moment. Did he just hear right? If this was true, then there was no doubt who Auni was.
“Are you Auni’s sister?”
“Yeah,” her eyes brightened. “ My name is Madoline.”
“How long have you been able to see through her eyes?” Kioshi asked.
“Um.. just lately. ‘Cept the other day. When I was looking through, it went all black and i couldn’t see anything.”
Kioshi suppressed a small grin.
“Madoline, what was the thing you saw that makes you think Auni’s in trouble?”
Madoline’s eyes surrendered to fright.
“A ship.”
