Silence.... there was only silence surrounding Sidra, there was no one in the whole street and he couldn't even hear any noises in the distance either.
*huff* *huff*
Breathing heavily and with his heart and mind racing he couldn't understand what was happening around him, 'maybe they went to the park, yea they do that sometimes' trying to think positively he forced a smile on his face and started running towards the park.
The park was a few minutes away from his house so it doesn't took much time to get there but he still rushed as fast as he could,Sidra wasn't just fast but also really loved running too and on top of that he was training to become an athlete.
In a matter of minutes he got to the park and not only there wasn't a single person there but all the way to the park he didn't saw anyone, not even dogs,cats,birds or any other animals where in sight either.
Starting running again through the park and trying to find someone he thought 'please anyone, just one person to talk to is enough!' He's mind wasn't as lucid as usually, if he had thought about it more carefully he would've understood the situation sooner but he let himself be overtaken by panic.
__
After a while of searching with no success he remained still looking at the sky, *huff* *huff* panting heavily sweat was falling from his face he already went through the whole park many times but still couldn't find anyone.
Looking at the sky sidra decided to close his eyes and tried to think about the whole situation, trying to calm himself down he sat on a near bench and started to think through all the events of the past hours.
'First the mysterious hourglass which later i found broken then my grandparents missing and no other people or animal around either just complete silence'it was scary Sidra didn't like this silence it gave him chills,'i don't have anyone to ask for answers either, what do i do then?' Leaning back to the bench and closing his eyes once again he ended up in a train of thoughts.
"The news" he murmured to himself after thinking about it for a while, opening his eyes 'Right! If something really happened there's no way there wasn't any news about it' taking out his phone from his pocket he turned it on and scrolled to the news and just when he did he's eyes opened widely.
The first news he saw said
'an unidentified object has appeared in the sky-26/08/18'
'many more of these unidentified objects which we think are spaceships have appeared in the skies of the world-27/08/18' and then lastly there were live streams still going on.
Opening it sidra saw that it was still on but he couldn't understand from where it was, underneath the first live there where many other of them all similar to each other talking about aliens.
After trying to understand more about it he tried to rewind some of the lives, without success he kept trying for a while until he found one titled 'aliens have appeared are they peaceful or a threat!?' Opening it and rewinding it he went back by some hours with nothing happening till.
'There's something that came out of the ship and started glowing! Im gonna go near and see if i can get a better angle' said the man in the live and after getting near and a better angle of it from the top of a roof he showed that many other ships near there all started to do the same thing.
"What th-"Before he could finish his sentence a strange glow surrounded the whole area in the footage, it was a strange orange glow which didn't just surrounded that area but the whole world there where many other lives similiar to this from other countries and cities.
What happened next shocked me even more, after the glow surrounded the whole world a strange stuff came out of it and it almost looked like some kind of dust.
The dust started to cover everything slowly and then something even more horrifying happened after a while the dust was gone and slowly the people and the animals started to turn into dust themselves leaving nothing behind but silence.
'Huh?'i was taken by the shock and stayed still holding my phone still in my hand with my eyes widely open, my mind wasn't processing what just happened it was too much.
"Evr-evryone i-is gone?" Shacking my hand let go of my phone which fell to the ground and trying to calm myself i leaned back on the bench again 'are they dead? are they all gone? Or where they taken somewhere?' He kept asking himself questions at which he didn't had answers to, he was left in silence surrounded by no one he was left alone.

In the space not too far away a small spaceship was approaching earth.
Inside of the ship a voice could be heard "Lira zhat'khul akh lan klo" The voice sounded deep, rhough and almost bored and then another one "khora"this one was more fluid,quite and calm almost like a young kids.
After entering in the orbit the ship changed position and stayed in the air for a while, "khlas earth hlash hatorn mala" "halash haten khrosh?"the two voice's kept talking to each other "hm? Shlash tathem hara?" "Ah shtat?".
A moment later the ship changed position again but this time it flew at a high speed, flying on the sea and then over some cities the ship stopped midair and started to float in as if searching for something or someone.
After some seconds the ship slowly floated toward a little green spot and landed there, four metallic long arms came from underneath it and leaned the ship to the ground.
The side of the ship opened up as if it was a door and two figures walked out of it, looking around them they didn't notice anything or anyone then one of them looked like it was checking some sort of machine in it's hands.
Then another figure appeared underneath the ship, noticing the figure on the ground approaching them one of the two figures Shouted "khali hared shanto kamal!" Taking a better look at the figure underneath them they saw what seemed like a boy with brown hair,a pair of gray eyes and a shocked look on his face.
It was sidra who didn't knew what was going on and neither who the people who shouted where but the fact that a flying ship just appeared near him terrorized him, 'did they come back for me?!' He thought to himself while one of the two figures kept saying strange things he didn't understand.
After a bit sidra finally decided to say something,it didn't matter if they where here to take him away or kill him the only thing that mattered to him right now was answers.
"I-I don't know what you're saying!" Shouting back said sidra and after a bit of silence one of the figures seemed to take out something from somewhere and then pointing at sidra it shot something "wha-" Before he could finish a strange light came flying at him and hit his head which made him fall to the ground.
'Huh? Did i just got killed?' Thought sidra 'am i really dying like this?'slowly some noises started coming from the distance "you..
khlad understand.... stol wor?" Putting a hand on his head sidra slowly sat up with his head throbbing.
"Huh? I'm still alive?" Said sidra looking down at his body "obviously you are, what did you think that I just killed you?" A voice came not far from him, the two figures where approaching him floating down slowly on top of what seemed like a little platform under their feets.
Getting up from the ground he took a better look at them and could finally see how they looked, one of them was tall even taller then himself it looked like it was a man he had gray skin with short red hair,two pairs of completely black eyes and a sturdy build.
The other one was much smaller almost half of the others height this one looked more agile and feminine, she had four pairs of eyes two smaller ones on top of the main ones and they where of a purple color just like her lips,she had two little horns on top of her forehead, pointy ears, silver hair and pale skin.
"I just shotted you with a translating ray"said the man "a what?" Asked sidra blinking a few times "it's a special ray that helps you understand us" answered the man unbothered by sidra.
"W-who are you guys anyway?" Trying to stay calm sidra asked them "I'm Zora and this little girl is Lira"said the man pointing at the girl beside him, "let me ask you one question too, how are you still alive?" Asked the man which caught sidra by surprise.
"What do you mean how I'm still alive?"Looking back at the man he tried to stay calm "well your race has been gotten rid of by the dust empire so how is it possible that there's still a human alive?".
