The Greys Chapter 1 No.1

Beth and her girlfriend, and roommate Caitlin are in the middle of a journey across Australia, which began in Brisbane, and it will end at Caitlin parents' house in Perth. Caitlin is driving the Ford Mustang since they entered to South Australia territory; she is over thinking on how is going to tell to her parents the truth about the relationship in which she is involved for the past two years. She is terrified because her parents belong to a church that does not accept same-sex couples.

Unlike her Girlfriend, Beth is quiet; she is watching the stars through the window of the Mustang. The night sky in the middle of Australia is smog free; the stars can be seen with the naked eye. Beth smiles, and at the same time, she binds with her fingertips the stars on the surface of the window to make new constellations on her own. Beth`s blonde hair is blonder than ever, thanks to the light of the full moon that shines in the sky.

"I know what you're doing, Caitlin" Beth Said calmly.

"Huh, What?" Caitlin answered.

"You chose the road trip, because you want to delay the encounter with your parents... You are scared of them!"

"No...huh" Caitlin said.

"Yes, you are, I know you more than you know yourself"

"I really want to know Australia by road before I'm 21!"

"No, you're not. Stop lying to me! I don't like that..." Beth makes a pause, and then she says: "I mean, look at us; two lonely girls in the middle of nowhere just because you're scared of your own parents! Ridiculous! We could have taken a plane in Brisbane!"

"Ok, I'm sorry!" Caitlin replied embarrassed. She opens her hazel eyes and looks at Beth like a spoiled kitten.

"Don't look at me like that!" Beth said.

"Baby, you know them; you know that they will never be ok with us. We need to keep our relationship in secret!"

"No!" Beth answered quickly. "They deserve to know all the truth. They are your parents!"

"I hate when you act so right!"

Beth extends her hand and strokes Caitlin's hair. "Purr for me" Beth said.

"No!" Caitlin answered quickly.

"Ok, look! If they don't want to be ok with us, so be it. But, they must know the truth..."

"But, Why?! Why!?" Caitlin replied.

"Cause, I don't want to live on a lie! I don't deserve that... you don't deserve that! I want a serious relationship, a serious commitment"

"Are you serious?! You mean, like a marriage?" Caitlin asked nicely.

"I want to be with you forever" Beth answered.

"Me too"

"Stop the car! I want to kiss your right now!" Beth said.

Caitlin smiles and says: "On the next gas station, we almost out of gas!"

-----

Caitlin stops the car in a small gas station somewhere in the border between South and western territory. While the mustang is reloading with gasoline; the girls make good use of the wait; they began to kiss on hood of the car. Beth's blonde hair mixes with Caitlin's black hair in the same way that their tongues do it inside their mouths. Two employees of the gas station enjoy the scene; they look at the girl with morbid attention.

When the tank is full, Beth sits on the driver's seat, because Caitlin needs some time to rest, one employee of the station approximate to the girls to charge them for the gasoline. Beth extends her hand and gives him a 20 dollar bill.

"Keep the change, man" Beth said calmly. She stars the car.

"Wait!" He said.

"What?" Beth replied.

"What are you doing in this lonely place at this hour of the night?" He asked.

"We're going to Perth" Caitlin Answered.

"Shh!!" Beth replied violently to her girlfriend.

"What?!"

"He doesn't need to know that!!" Beth said to Caitlin.

"Oh, ok, ok... No! We're not going to Perth" Caitlin said to the man.

The employee smiles to the girls, and ask to them: "Why did you take this road? This is the longest way to go to Perth"

"Well, we..." Caitlin said.

"Well!" Beth Interrupts to Caitlin. "That does not concern to him!"

"Ok, ok" He answered "But, be careful girls, because, in this road strange things could happen"

Beth stars the car, and then she begins to nag to her girl: "You can't talk with your parents about us! But, when a strange man asks to you some personal questions you answered carefree! Amazing! "

-----

Half an hour has passed; Beth is still nagging Caitlin about what happened on the Gas station.

"Could you forget about that?" Caitlin said to Beth. "Jesus! Sometimes you are really annoying"

"Ah! So, you think I am annoying?! Huh?! "

"YEAH! Sometimes, you are a pain in my ass"

"Good to know! Good to know! " Beth said.

"I thought; the kiss will calm you for the rest of the trip, but I was wrong!"

"So, you kissed me to calm me down?!" Beth asked sarcastically.

"Yeah! Yeah! You are driving me crazy! It's been three month with the same old story: you must tell your parents the truth! Cut it off! Jesus!"

"I am tired living on a lie"

"Oh, my God" Caitlin said. She gets out of her pocket her cellphone, and says to Beth: "I will call my parents right now! To tell them the truth about us! Are you happy? Are you happy?!"

"Yes I am happy!" Beth screamed.

"I will do it, I mean it!"

"Do it, I'm watching you"

"Ok..." Caitlin dials her parent's number. Her mother answers the phone. "Hello mother... I have no time... yeah, yeah, I'm fine... you remember Beth... yeah, yeah... well, she's not only my roommate, she is my girlfriend... well... see ya!" Caitlin hangs the phone. "Are you happy now?!" She said to Beth.

"I am happy!" Beth answered defiantly.

Suddenly, Beth loses the control of the car.

"Oh my God" Beth screamed.

"What happen?"

"I can't control the car; it just turns off by itself!"

From nowhere, a little girl appears in the middle of the road. She is wearing a long white dress.

"Look out!!" Caitlin screamed, while she points out the girl with her finger.

Beth struggles violently with the rudder of the car to avoid hitting the girl. After 10 seconds, the car turns on again by itself. Beth finally can applies the brakes; the car avoids the little girl, and slowly stops on a side of a road.

Caitlin gets out of the car and runs to the girl. The little girl is about 10 or 12 years old, she's got long and straight hair and her eyes are blue.

"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Are you ok?! Are you ok?!" Caitlin said to the little girl.

The girl is terrified.

Beth gets out of the car and runs to the little girl too.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't see you, sweetheart" Beth screamed.

"What are you doing by yourself in the middle of a lonely road?!" Caitlin asked to the girl.

The little girl, still confused, looks at the eyes of the couple of friends and whispers to them: "They are following me"

"Who is following you?" Beth and Caitlin asked at the same time.

The girl look at the sky and whispers: "They!"

Beth and Caitlin look at each other's with fear on their eyes.

"They will hurt me, and they will hurt whoever interposes on their way!" She said.

"She's frightening me" Beth whispered to Caitlin.

"Let's go to the car" Caitlin said to the girl "You will be safe with us"

"We are not safe, they will find me wherever I'll go" The girl answered.

----

Inside the car, Caitlin is sitting with the girl, while Beth is driving.

"Who are they, sweetheart?" Caitlin asked.

"They're demon... heartless demons" the girl said with tears on her eyes.

"Oh, my God..." Beth mumbled.

Caitlin strokes the girl hair. "Tell us your name, sweaty"

"I'm Lucy"

"Where are you from, Lucy?" Caitlin asked.

"I'm from a little town near from here, call: Sharp Brakes"

"I don't know that town!" Beth said, and types the name on the GPS. "There's no such thing called Sharp brakes! Look!" She shows the GPS to Caitlin.

"My town exists! Are you calling me crazy?!" Lucy screamed.

"No one here thinks that you are crazy, sweetheart" Caitlin said, and gives to Beth a bad look while she shakes her head.

"Two nights ago, they came, but something makes them run away... but tonight..." Lucy mumbled "...They returned to kidnap all the women of the town... I-I-I-I just run... I could escape after they take my mother and sister..."

"But, who the hell are they?!!" Beth asked.

"The aliens! The Grey aliens!!!" Lucy screamed to Beth.

"Oh my God" Beth mumbled.

"But, but, but... where is your father?" Caitlin asked.

"I'm almost sure that they killed all the men in Sharp Brakes, but I want to believe that some of them could be alive" Lucy said "My town is near from here, in the next exit we need to turn to the right to take an unpaved road to get there... please, take me home! I need to know if my father is still alive!"

----

One hour later, the car is parked on a side of the road, Lucy is inside of it; she is terrified, she cannot remove her eyes from the night sky looking for UFO. Beth and Caitlin are outside of it, staring at the unpaved road. The road goes right in to the dark wild.

"We just can't go this way! This is insane! I can't believe that you are actually thinking about it!" Beth said.

"You heard the girl... if we want to go to her town; we have to take this road..."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
