Abducted

IN WHICH BRAVERY, ROMANCE, AND OF COURSE, ALIENS, MEET.

        Chapter 1        

  My best friend went flying up in the air, screaming loudly. The alien motherships blasted towards us, plucking innocent people off the streets into a black hole that is the alien civilization. I prayed that I wouldn't be abducted too, who knows what they would do to me? But today wasn’t my lucky day, for the ghastly light shone itself on me. I was lifted up into the air, telling myself that it was just a dream, I would wake up in a few minutes. As I got closer to the UFO, the light got brighter, and brighter, and brighter, until I finally got all the way up. As I got in, I saw these, well, these things that I soon realized were the dreaded aliens. I hadn’t believed such creatures could make these spaceships, let alone even exist.I couldn't have been more wrong.
When I rose all the way in, I gazed around the high-tech room. About 70 other people were locked away in cages, and more coming. Who knew that a creature like this could be so, oh, I don’t know… genius? Everyone had always told me that we, humans, were the smartest living things on earth. Well, actually that is true; these things were from some planet far away.

I turned and studied the horrid aliens. They weren't very horrid at all, actually. They had round, stout, scarlet bodies and cream-colored stripes, with two arms and two legs. Their spherical faces were unusual, with only their eyes. Two of them came to me and dragged me to my own cage. One of them stared in at me with big, emerald eyes that looked determined and almost happy. It squawked at me, and the others joined in, chirping happily to each other. Suddenly, a lady dressed in a suit came through a door in the corner. 
“Congratulations,” she boomed, her voice echoing around the room. “You humans have been chosen to assist planet Castia during our war. We hope you can help us through this deadly time.” She crouched next to one of the aliens and, while stroking the top of its round head, spoke to it softly. The alien replied with a low whistle. That woman looked so serious it was almost scary. I decided I would help, because if I didn't, what would they do to me? 
She stood and looked at each of us, talking about what an honor it is to be chosen. When she looked at me, she stopped for a millisecond and smiled slightly before continuing. There was something familiar about her, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
