In the Earth year 1981, humanity made the most terrifying encounter with an alien species from a distant planet on the opposite side of the galaxy, travelling through artificially created tunnels in space, the alien species quickly conquered the combined armies of Earth before a full force of invasion resulting in the deaths of millions of humans. Many of those who survived where taken back to the alien homeworld and sold into a live of slavery, decades had passed as earth was little more than a cesspool of rotting corpses and destroyed cities, crumbling into the ground.
I never knew my birth parents as shortly after my mother fell pregnant, my father was sold by his owner to work in the mines, deep inside the aliens homeworld and my mother died when I was only three years old. Under the orders of the alien overseers, I was placed with a family of humans living in the squalor of the slave camps, I was the youngest in a family of five boys ranging from seven to fourteen years old. The early years of my life was not a pleasant one as I was not strong enough to contribute to the family unit where I was placed, eating the scraps of what they had left along with whatever else I could find. By my sixth year, a large and menacing alien male entered the home where I had been placed, I was terrified as often, many of the alien species would purchase humans for whatever purpose they needed and now, it was my turn to be sold for little more than extra rations for the family unit I had been placed with. Terrified of what fate may await me, I had no idea that what my life would become after that day would change me beyond anything a human male or female could have asked for.
The alien species where mostly human looking, the males where large and menacing looking, pale green spot like markings ran down either side of their faces, down their neck and chest towards their gentiles, a slight three point ridge like structure could be clearly seen nose which led towards a slight ridge formation running up their forehead towards their hairline where it disappeared, a dense muscular structure made them appear as if they where twice the size of the average human.
The female of the alien species where more slender, almost human looking in their appearance although with the gentle and pale blue spot markings which ran down their bodies in the same way as the males. Unlike their male counterparts, the females displayed either green, blue or grey tint to their eyes with no nose or forehead ridges which gave them a softer and almost human appearance. Although rarely the males displayed hair on their heads, sometimes they would allow their hair to grow which would publicly denote their rank within the alien structure, the females however, would allow their hair to grow to different lengths to display their own level within their society.
Taken from the place where I had been born, I found myself in a large home, high in the hillside above the capital city of their world where I was introduced to a middle-aged human female, the male who now owned me had specific instructions on how I should be treated as I would be fed, bathed and dressed in the appropriate attire which had already been purchased for me and my mattered and dirt filled hair would be shaved. It is safe to say that by this point, I was terrified beyond my ability to move. I had never known kindness in my life, nor what a smile looked like as the middle-aged woman took my hand gently and led me into a large room where I froze at what I saw. I had never in my life seen such a large amount of food in one place before, especially given instructions to eat what I could. I honestly think that I was sick after eating so much food which tasted like heaven itself. After gorging myself on what I cold, I was allowed to rest on a real soft and comfortable bed for the first time in my life and the morning after, I was bathed and cleaned by the woman, I still to this day have no idea of her name. My hair itself was so badly brittle and covered with god only knows what filth that had had almost fallen out during my long and luxurious first bath in which I was allowed to splash around and enjoy myself for the first time in my life.
After bathing, I was dressed in the softest and most luxurious clothing I had ever seen or felt on my body, the luxury of what I was given made me weep with joy, something that I had never before felt in my life. For the first time in my life, I had clothes and real shoes that fit me perfectly. In the mid-morning, the alien male entered the room with a soft smile on his face as he looked down at me it was then that he did something that shocked me beyond anything I have ever seen of his species before, he knelt down and spoke to me with a gentle tone in his voice as he told me the reason he had bought me.
He had a daughter of his own who was four years old and wanted someone to play with. He told me that I would be given a roof over my head, real food and drink, clothing and anything that I needed if I would be her friend and keep her occupied. That was my job in life from that point onwards, I would be responsible for entertaining someone I had never met. I had never had a friend nor seen such kindness, but I knew what my role was, even through my limited intellect at the time I knew that if I did as I was instructed, I would perhaps be safe in his household as he had promised me. Taking my hand in his gently, he led me through his household, past the many human servants he had bought to run his house, each of them appeared as well fed and taken care of, I even saw more smiles from the humans as I passed them.
