Aliens Comes To Create Hybrid Race From Us

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Line Breaks



Lila Carter stood in Dr. Clara Evans' office, the air thick with the stench of alien blood and fear. The splintered door hung off its hinges, two Xytheran corpses sprawled on the floor, gray limbs twisted. Ethan Blake leaned against the wall, chest heaving, his shirt torn open from the fight, blood streaking his muscled frame. Damien Voss wiped his knife, smirking despite the gash on his side, his leather jacket slick with sweat and gore. Maya Torres rubbed her bruised head, cursing under her breath, while Zara Quinn sat frozen, sketching the chaos, her pencil trembling. The girl they'd rescued—still nameless—rocked beside her, whispering about "cold hands" and "needles."

Clara adjusted her glasses, unfazed by the carnage, studying the glowing disc on her desk. "They're tracking this," she said, voice cool and precise. "Or us. It's a beacon." The lines on it pulsed faster, green light casting eerie shadows.

Lila clutched Jake's torn shirt, her knuckles white. "Then we use it," she said, voice steady despite the knot in her chest. "Draw them out. Find Jake." Ethan pushed off the wall, wincing, and grabbed her hand. "We do it together," he said, his grip warm and firm. His hazel eyes locked on hers, fierce and raw, and her heart stuttered—loyalty, pain, something deeper.

Damien stepped closer, smirking. "Count me in, princess." His voice was low, teasing, his breath brushing her ear as he leaned in. Her skin flushed, a jolt of heat clashing with Ethan's steady pull. Maya rolled her eyes. "Save the flirting, creep. We've got bigger problems."

A rumble shook the building—low, menacing. Lights flickered, and the disc flared bright. Zara gasped, dropping her sketchbook. "They're close," she whispered, eyes wide. "Too close." The girl whimpered, clawing at her scarred stomach.

Before anyone could move, red and blue lights flashed outside. Sheriff Tom Reed's cruiser screeched up, and he barged in, gun drawn, his bulky frame filling the doorway. "What the hell's this?" he barked, staring at the dead Xytherans. His grizzled face twisted—shock, then anger. "Carter, you causing trouble again?"

"They're real," Lila snapped, pointing at the corpses. "Took Jake, attacked us. They're aliens, Reed." He grunted, holstering his gun but not relaxing. "Bullshit. Looks like a gang hit."

Clara stepped forward, calm as ever. "Sheriff, examine them. No human has that physiology—elongated limbs, no pupils, biofluids." Reed scowled, crouching by one, poking it with his boot. Gray blood oozed, and he recoiled. "Christ…"

"They're Xytherans," Damien said, smirking. "Here to experiment—breed with us. Your town's their playground." Reed glared at him. "Who're you, punk?" Damien shrugged. "Someone who knows more than you."

Ethan moved beside Lila, his arm brushing hers, blood still dripping. "Believe it or not, they're killing people," he said. "We need backup." Reed stood, jaw tight. "Cole's on his way. But I'm not buying little green men."

A scream cut through—a man's, raw and desperate, from the street. They bolted outside, fog swirling thick. Deputy Ben Cole staggered from his cruiser, clutching his side, blood seeping through his uniform. "Sheriff!" he gasped. "They… got her…"

"Who?" Reed grabbed him, steadying him. Ben's eyes were wild. "My sister—Liz. Took her… right outta the house." He sank to his knees, panting. "Tall… gray… dragged her up…"

Lila's stomach dropped. Ben had mentioned Liz earlier—dreams, symbols, like Zara. "They're targeting the marked," she said, glancing at Zara, who shrank back. Clara nodded. "Pattern fits. They tag victims, then harvest."

Reed cursed, pulling Ben up. "Where'd they go?" Ben pointed shakily skyward, where green pulses glowed brighter. A shadow loomed—a ship, sleek and jagged, hovering low. The hum vibrated their bones.

"They're bold now," Damien muttered, knife ready. "Means they're desperate." He stepped closer to Lila, his hand brushing her back, possessive. Ethan tensed, glaring, but said nothing.

The ship descended, a hatch sliding open. Three Xytherans dropped down—taller, broader, their gray skin shimmering, claws extended. One held a limp figure—Liz, Ben's sister, her dark hair tangled, shirt ripped, bruises blooming on her arms. She moaned, barely conscious.

"Liz!" Ben lunged, but Reed held him back. "Wait, damn it!" The lead Xytheran tilted its head, black eyes scanning them. It hissed—a sound like static—then gestured at Liz, claws tracing her neck. A threat.

Lila gripped her bat. "Let her go!" she yelled, stepping forward. Ethan and Damien flanked her, a wall of defiance. The alien hissed again, and the others charged.

Chaos erupted. Ethan tackled one, fists slamming its chest, claws slashing his thigh. He roared, pinning it, blood soaking his jeans. Damien danced with another, knife flashing—slashing its arm, dodging a claw, then stabbing its gut. Gray blood sprayed, and it fell, shrieking.

The leader dropped Liz, lunging at Lila. She swung her bat, cracking its jaw, but it grabbed her, slamming her to the ground. Its weight crushed her, claws tearing her tank top, cold fingers digging into her ribs. She screamed, kicking, as its face loomed—black eyes, no mercy.

Ethan roared, tackling it off her. They rolled, trading blows, until he snapped its neck with a sickening crunch. It went limp, and he staggered up, pulling Lila to her feet. "You hurt?" he panted, hands on her face, checking her frantically. Blood smeared his fingers, but his touch was tender, desperate. She shook her head, breathless, clinging to him. "I'm okay…"

Damien finished his, wiping his blade, smirking at them. "Nice save," he said, but his eyes darkened, jealous. Maya rushed to Liz, helping Ben lift her. "She's alive," Maya said, voice tight. Liz moaned, claw marks on her thighs—fresh, brutal.

Clara knelt by her, clinical but grim. "Same scars," she said, glancing at the girl from the mill. "They've started the process—implantation." Ben sobbed, clutching Liz's hand. "What process?"

"Hybrids," Clara said. "They're forcing human women to carry their offspring. Their race is collapsing—plague took their females." Reed stared, disbelief cracking. "You're serious?"

A low whine cut the air. The ship above flared, then shot upward, vanishing into the fog. "They're retreating," Damien said, frowning. "For now." The disc in Clara's hand dimmed, but still pulsed—alive, watching.

Lila's ribs ached where the Xytheran had pinned her, her torn shirt barely covering her. Ethan shrugged off his jacket, draping it over her shoulders. "Here," he said, voice soft. It smelled of him—sweat, grease, safety—and she pulled it tight, heart racing. "Thanks," she murmured, meeting his eyes. He nodded, lingering close.

Damien scoffed, stepping between them. "She's tougher than you think, mechanic." His hand brushed Lila's arm, bold and warm, and she flinched—not from pain, but the spark. Ethan's jaw tightened, fists clenching.

"Knock it off," Maya snapped, supporting Liz with Ben. "We've got enough to deal with." Reed grunted, holstering his gun. "Back to the station. All of you. We figure this out there."

They piled into Reed's cruiser and Clara's car, a battered, bloodied crew. The station was a brick box, cluttered with files and coffee stains. Reed locked the doors, pacing, while Clara set the disc on a table. "We need to decode this," she said. "It's our link."

Ben sat with Liz, stroking her hair as she stirred. "They… hurt me…" she whispered, voice breaking. "Tied me… cut me…" Her hands pressed her stomach, trembling. Zara watched, sketching Liz's scars, muttering, "I see it too… the tables…"

Lila sank into a chair, Ethan beside her, his hand resting on her knee—steady, grounding. Damien leaned against the wall, eyes on her, dark and hungry. The tension simmered—Ethan's quiet strength, Damien's reckless heat, pulling her apart.

Reed stopped pacing, glaring at the disc. "If this is real, we're screwed. No backup's gonna believe this." Clara nodded. "Then we don't wait for backup. We fight."

A thud hit the roof. Dust fell, and the disc flared again. Zara gasped. "They're back." The girl whimpered, and Liz sobbed, curling into Ben. Ethan stood, pulling Lila up. "We're ready," he said, voice hard.

Damien grinned, knife gleaming. "Let's dance." Lila gripped her bat, Jake's shirt in her pocket a burning weight. The Xytherans had taken him, hurt Liz, marked Zara—and they weren't done. Her harem tightened around her—Ethan's loyalty, Damien's danger, Maya's fire, Clara's logic, Ben's desperation. The line was drawn, and it was breaking.

A claw scraped the roof, and the war crashed closer.
