| CHAPTER THIRTEEN - 690 WORDS |

NEXT THING YOU know, the teenagers were driving in a stick shift 1973 Ford Mustang Mach One. Mackenzie was in the middle of Dariush and Gabriel, Gabriel on the left and Dariush on the right. Zhenzhen was driving with Alex in the passenger seat.

Mackenzie bobbed her head with the music, hand intertwined with Gabriel who did the same movement. It was probably the most fun that they had during this alien invasion.

Zhenzhen took a sharp turn, Alex's hand holding the top of the car as he adjusted the hat on his head.

The music abruptly stopped when the alien from earlier jumped onto the car, Mackenzie screaming loudly at the sudden creature as did everyone else. Zhenzhen lost control slightly over the car as it head-butted the window shield. Gabriel clenched onto Mackenzie's hand, shouting to get the thing off. It grabbed took one of it's hands, smashing a hole in the window. Leaving the window alone, the alien crawled on top of the roof.

"It's on the roof!" Gabriel yells.

"We can see that!" Mackenzie screams back. She was surprised by the hand that ripped through the roof.

"Hang on!" Zhenzhen shouts, turning right and slamming into something that sent the alien off the car.

Gabriel, Mackenzie, and Dariush look behind them to see it completely gone. "It's gone, gimme some." Dariush exclaims, taking Mackenzie and Gabriel into a hug of relief.

Well, that was until it jumped into the back of the car where the three's heads were. Mackenzie screamed as she pushed both of the boys off her and more towards Alex and Zhenzhen at the front. She looked around to see them on a highway, gulping and crawling on top of Gabriel and opening the door.

"What are you doing?!" Gabriel yells as the alien screeches behind them.

"Saving myself, now jump!" Mackenzie shouts and jumps out the car, tumbling onto the road frequently.

Gabriel took a leap of faith as well, tumbling with near her. Dariush yelled as he jumped and so did Alex and Zhenzhen. As Mackenzie gets up, Alex tumbles to her feet and sweeps her off and back into the ground with a groan. She looked to the car to see the alien still on it. The car, not being controlled, swerves off the highway and flys down to the ground. The alien thinking it could miss it, gets stuck and gets directly hit by the front of the car against a wall.

"Is everyone okay?" Gabriel yells when he gets up and runs to the ledge to see the alien not moving.

Mackenzie sighs in relief until Alex speaks the words nobody ever wanted to hear.

"Guys, I don't have the key! It's probably in the car!"

"Are you shitting me right now." Mackenzie narrows her eyes as she charges for him, only to be held by the waist by Gabriel.

"We need that key!" Alex exclaims as he panics along with everyone else. Mackenzie never knew the smart one would could be so dumb and careless to leave the most important thing right now in a car that almost killed them by the alien creature, which would only be stopped using the key.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it." Dariush repeats as he walks forwards and passes the group. Alex stops him, asking where he was going. "To get the key!"

"No way we can kill that thing, it's just going to reanimate."

"Well, yeah, but we need that key to finish this off."

"And you're going alone? You'll die if you go down there, Dariush!" Mackenzie yells.

"She's right, we should go together." Alex tries to reason Dariush out who just shakes his head.

"So all five of us can die? I thought you were supposed to be the smart one. It's my turn. Look man, did you know I was named after the ancient King of Persia, Darius? Well, do you know what his greatest enemy was, the only one to ever defeat him?"

"Alexander the Great."

"Yeah, I knew you knew that."

"This time. Darius gets to be the hero."
