Julie and Emily

Hello, Marshall here. I am happy to say that Thestarwarrior has begun their own branch in the Stranded story and I am looking forward to what happens and where they take it.

We didn’t want to go to the colonies but it wasn’t like we had much choice. We lost our mom and dad during the war, along with our home, our money, and any future plans that we had. The other option was for us to find work under the Earth’s new rules, which would most likely be as a sex ****. I'd heard horror stories from other worlds that had been taken by the Tyrusiens, they always ended with the men being eaten and the women baring a Tyrusien child. I wasn’t about to let that happen to Emily, nor was I going to be the mother of a Tyrusien cub.

It must have taken us over two hours just to get on board the evacuation ship. There were so many people there eager to leave before the Tyrusiens reached this part of the planet. I was told once during history class that most planetary invasions lasted longer than a decade, due to how big the world was and how hostile the environment to foreign life. It had been less than a few months and the Tyrusiens has already taken all of Europe, Asia, the Americas, even Africa and Antartica had fallen to the filthy beasts. Britain was the only place left untouched by the aliens and that was probably because they bombarded the bloody island into oblivion.

There was a bit of a delay during takeoff, though we weren't quite sure what. There were rumors running around about how there were Tyrusien vessels spotted in low orbit as well as a riot braking out at the entrance to the colony vessels. Whatever the reason, we were eventually off before sundown. As our ship left the atmosphere we could hear the sounds of battle through the walls. I was told later that I probably heard the sound of one of our colony ships exploding. We had just barely escaped with our lives as two Tyrusien war ships were barreling down on us and another was bombarding the star port we had just launched from.

One of our ships were destroyed just after leaving the atmosphere, another’s hyperdrive went out before it could escape, the rest couldn’t even make it off the planet. Our ship was the only one to escape. The last hope for humanity reduced to a single civilian vessel, a little over two hundred people onboard.

For the next few weeks, we travelled the stars in search of a habitable world that the Tyrusiens would ignore. In the meantime, I watched over my sister, protected her from some of the more handsy people on board the ship. I was almost sent to the bridge once after decking some overweight basted that wouldn’t stop grabbing our asses. Fortunately, one of the crew, Kyle, stood up for us and even offered us a safe place to stay. Emily and I were attractive eighteen-year-old blonde girls, I wasn’t about to turn down a knight in shining armour, especially one as cute as he was. Dark hair, toned body, he even looks good in a uniform.

Eventually, after two weeks of searching, we finally found a habitable world, uncharted, world. The planet dubbed, New Eden, was almost Earth like in appearance and from what I heard, with no signs of past or present habitation, I even heard that there were a few dinosaur like aliens running around witch really made my day.

We had just entered low orbit above New Eden and was looking for a safe place to land when suddenly the alarms started blaring. The alarms were quickly followed by a sudden impact, an explosion, and an order to abandon ship. What followed next was pure chaos as everyone on board fought to reach the escape pods. I did everything I could to stay with my sister, grasping her hand so tightly that I almost cut off the circulation to my fingers. In the confusion, Kyle was able to get us to an escape pod and quickly pushed us inside. But despite our pleads for him to come with us, he refused to go, saying that he needed to help the others escape the ship. Fucking honourable bastard. After sealing us inside, he launched the escape pod, and we plummeted down to the planet below.

The impact must have knocked me out, because the next thing I could remember was waking up strapped to my chair. I could smell the hit of smoke in the air and as I tried to open my eyes a blinding red light blinked in my face. When my eyes finally adjust to the light, the first thing I saw was my twin sister, limp in her chair.
