gah, well, if you're sure, here's chapter... erm, whatever, i can't remeber which bit/ one i'm on, so, well... whatever! ^^ (but there is a bit of swearing, so... i think i might have to * them out.... gah, i hate to do that to my work! ( think i've * them all... dammit!)

Invasion:

“Where the f*** is the ambulance, the police, the fire brigade, the life guard… I don’t care Talie…” Grace said as Talie went to correct her. She quickly stood up and moodily sulked away. “But seriously, this is the reason I don’t go on the tube. You always get f*****’ nutters trying to bomb every individual train. Bet they were from Leeds aswell… Leeds dammit. I love Leeds; look what the insane suicide bombers did. 7.7. And now, they’ve done it f******* again!”
“Er…Grace,” said Talie.
“No, I’m sorry, I’m not in the f******’ mood…” Grace stood up and paced up and down the only space she could find. “And now, we’re gonna die in here like every other person. Just waiting, no food, no water, no nothing!”
“Grace…” Talie began again.
“Look, I’m not in the mood for a lecture about swearing ok… I’ve had enough… and for another thing…”
“GRACE!” Talie yelled. Grace immediately turned around and said.
“God, no need to shout Talie.” Talie stared daggers at Grace before Maddy interrupted.
“For god’s sake Talie, what?”
“Erm, I think you, Grace, sorry Mad. You need to come and see this.”

Grace and Talie tumbled and fought their way through the crowd of bodies to a window. Staring down the side of the train, they caught a glitter of gold.
“What the hell?” began Grace.
“But that’s not all,” said Talie.
“Ok, miss brainbox, what else?”
“Well… look. There’s no smoke, no real damage, ok, the train HAS been flipped on its side, but there is no evidence of any bombs exploding, anything like that.” Grace looked quizzical.
“Then what the hell is it?” she asked climbing down from the upturned seat and standing up.
“That, I don’t know. But what I do know is, we need to get these people out.” As soon as Talie said that, everyone disappeared.
“Where the hell did everyone go?” asked Grace twisting around to see only Maddy left.
“Er… Grace, about 5 mintues ago, everyone left. But they sealed the doors. We need to find our own way out.” Grace looked worried for a second and then said.
“Yeah, er, sure, we need to go back and wait with Mad.” They slowly made it 2 cabins along, tripping over rock and rubble til they finally got back to Maddy. The blood was now trickling down the carriage, and Talie and Grace had to step out of the way to avoid it.
“Mad, we’re so sorry. We couldn’t find anyone to help… or a way out.” And then she stopped. Grace could hear a strange noise.
“What’s up Grace?” Maddy asked, but Grace had already collapsed. The voices still travelling around in her head. She only caught a brief glimpse of the creature. It was gliding towards her, lights flashing on the top and croaking the only words she would ever hear.
“Exterminate.”


Exterminate:

“Oh my god, what the hell are we going to do?” asked Talie running around wildly. Grace still hadn’t woken up, and was lying on the floor. Maddy was also worried, no one just collapses. Something had to be wrong. She just knew it. With her one remaining leg, she stuck it out and made Talie go flying into the side of the train. She got up, blood trickled down the side of her head.
“Ah, if you leg wasn’t battered then I would break it.”
“Yeah, well that’s the glory of being in a lot of pain!”

Opening one eye, she could see Talie and Maddy with their backs to her. She had to get away from them both, just for a moment. Slowly a quietly she stood up and crept away from them. Opening the door and realising she felt very sick, she lay down in the carriage after that and closed her eyes. The nausea died down and she sat up, listening intently. Great! They didn’t know she’d gone. Feeling a new burst of energy, she got up and ran the full length of the train. The last cabin smelt a little strange. A mixture of dust and… what was the other smell? Grace pondered for a while, until she remembered where she had smelt it before. Back in their cabin. It must have been the blood. Looking around, Grace saw two men lying on the ground, but the strange thing was, there was no blood in sight. It mustn’t have been the smell of blood. It must have been the smell of… fear. Grace felt a light tap on her shoulder, and quickly spun around. She came face to face with the most dreamiest man ever.
