had ever kissed anyone and it felt good to stay conjoined like they were meant to be with each other for the rest of their lives. After they were tired and exhausted, she collapsed in her arms and he let her rest. He knew they had a huge task in front of them and he gently dressed her, nuzzling her all the while. She smiled, but he knew that she was still sad. Before too long, a group of aliens came in and took Mia away. Carter didn’t understand what was happening and he promised Mia he would fight for her. None of them told him anything and when he kept shouting, he was taken to the same guy who called him as his father. “Good job, Carter. The plan is coming along. You need to seduce the lady again because we need to have a progeny with mixed blood. Your mixed blood makes you capable of feeling emotions which our race doesn’t have. When you will have an offspring with a human blood, the amount of emotions which our race can feel will be phenomenally high and then we can study those DNA types to come up with richer combinations of even more advanced technology.” Carter was appalled as he heard his father speak of him like he was a robot. This race was certainly devoid of any kind of feelings. He felt repulsive of his own existence. Why couldn’t he be a normal human with an ordinary life? He hated the fact that his biological dad needed nothing more than an offspring with an amazing genotype. However, what hurt him the most was the fact that, Mia would be devastated to know that this is what their plan was. She was a young girl and knocking her up for taking a race forward was the last thing anyone should plot. He knew instantly that he had to leave the place before it was too late. The human race was at stake because once they had the genome, they would exploit it and Xorosa would do anything to take their race forward. Carter had no idea how to put up a fight, but he knew he had to do something. He decided he would have to become one of them in order to play the game. It would be a hard game to play because the people where were far more intelligent, but he trusted himself and he remembered the face of his beautiful mother who would be so broken without him and he remembered Mia who had kissed him, like he was her true soul mate. The love he felt for the people he knew gave him the strength to fight and he decided he would do whatever it took to fight his way back to the planet that was his real home. “Wow. This is so cool dad. You know I had been looking for you since a long time. I wanted to know what being an alien feels like. I have always craved power and I would love to be the future of tomorrow. I want to know more about this race dad. I want to feel like I belong here. I don’t want to be an outsider anymore.” Lambert looked at his son and smiled. Once an alien, always an alien. They weren’t really capable of feeling emotions but being tied to his son made him confide in him. He told him about the way things worked here. Carter listened with rapt attention. He had to make sure not to miss out on any of the details because each one of it mattered. He started plotting a strategy in his mind. “At Xorosa, we are all specialized for certain tasks. As we are assigned the duties, we follow it accordingly. There is no scope for fiddling with the order because it breaks the workflow. We have been evolving at a rapid pace and we want to eliminate the weaknesses which our race has. As we are not capable of feeling any emotions, it makes us mechanical. We have taken a study in human emotions and I am capable of feeling some of them. I hadn’t completely planned to knock your mother, thought it was a part of my plan. However, things went a bit too fast and I didn’t even have time to explain. The emotions I felt went away as soon as they came in. It is believed that only the strongest and purest affection can be felt by a very few of us. When people here came to know that I was one of those who
