Where was I? Yes, I was explaining about how exactly my kidnapping led to the shutdown of a major California roadway and an unseasonably peaceful weekend.
As you may have read, all of my troubles began three months ago, at the end of April when Prince held audience in town. The musical artist you know as Prince is in fact a real prince in the royal house of my home world. His presence on Earth appeared to be benign in nature, but since his presence here was a surprise to me, I thought it might be a good idea to investigate further into others of our kind living on this planet. As I undertook this action, I knew I would have to be even stealthier than I was trained for, since it could attract all sorts of danger. Then, there was the matter of April.
Against my better judgment, I agreed to more than one date with April, who is one of my sister’s instructors at the local school, and we became quickly involved. It was never my intention, but I somehow developed feelings for April. I soon came to the decision that I could no longer keep my true identity secret from her. Telling her where I came from could put her in danger, but I knew that her not knowing and understanding the truth could endanger her more. As much personal trouble as it caused, she was at least prepared for what happened next.
As best as I have been able to determine, I was not the only one who decided to look further into the presence of Prince. When I began to quietly investigate Prince and those around him, I thought I had to be careful to arouse suspicion from those I was investigating. I had not anticipated that there would be a third party with an altogether different motive. The others that were keeping their eyes on Prince were former comrades I thought had been long gone after the mission that brought me and my sister here had failed. They were part of the invasion force.
First, you must understand, my mission was never part of any kind of invasion. Our team was to study and attempt to assimilate ourselves into human culture in attempt to understand and eventually ally ourselves with the inhabitants of Earth. However, should our mission prove that no such alliance was possible, the contingency was to be prepared if humans were too dangerous to our existence. No real invasion in such terms was planned. Unfortunately, the contingency team took matters into their own hands.
What I have since learned is that the accident that doomed the craft that was meant to bring us all to Earth was in fact no accident at all. It was an attack, meant to frame Earthlings for a act of war that was a complete fabrication.
Needless to say, my presence here, along with the Prince, jeopardized this particular plan, and I discovered it just too late. They could not touch the Prince, but due to my blog, they needed to silence me and it, and quickly. This also meant my sister was in danger of becoming their target as well.
I acted quickly to lock out my blog so they could not touch it, and I only hoped that Madison would be able to figure it out. Fortunately, I knew her friend Douglas would be able to figure something out. He was already beginning to suspect something about us, so he would be a useful ally. Luckily, they were able to pick up on my hidden codes and messages when my protocol was initiated.
Then, I would just need time. Time for my sister to figure it all out and try to contact those who would be able to help us. That time would take two months, but it culminated in the best lie the local government could come up with.
More on that in the next part…
