Jalarci by Becca (children's ebooks free online .TXT) 📕

I know that sooner or later step-dad will start looking for me, and if he found me I would get beat really bad. I went down to the forest river, picked up some water and put it in my backpack.
Right as I get up to leave I hear rustling in the bushes. I jump back and look around. Nobody was even around. some animal, I thought. I start walking up the mountain that leads back to my home, I had to go home I knew I couldn't survive all alone in the world. I mean come on I just got scared from a stupid animal, how am I supposed to face the world?
Well anyways. I started walking up the hill again, I hear the bushes rustling again but ignore it. All of a sudden something grabs my leg.
"Ahh! let go!" I kick. I turn around and i didn't believe my eyes, It was an animal, well not an animal a animal/human deformed thing. "Ahh!" I scream again, but now I feel like a little girl when I scream. The animal thing mimcks my scream and goes to hide behind a bush.
"Hello?" I didn't mean to scare you, come on out." I say calmly.
"loip fdeoo polkn!" He says at me and gives me a scared voice.
"sorry I don't speak...whatever that was." I say. He grabs my hand and examines it carefully.
"uhhhh? hello?" I tell him confused.
"S--sorry." He looks down about to jump back into the forest.
"Don't go! what exactly are you? Whats your name?" I pull him by his arm so he won't go away, but his arm is slimy and squishy like a fish.
"me Jalarci. Me Recto species." He stutters. "Oh, well iv never heard of a Recto...umm I'm a human, My names Tom." I smile because I hope he'll stay if I'm nicer.
"oh." He plainly says probably because he still confused or he doesn't know what to talk about.
"Do you need some kind of help?" I ask. He looks like he's in a hurry and scared.
"Y-yes, will you help me T-om?" he looks up at me like he's begging for a cookie from his parents. He's about two feet tall, Chubby, green and wears old ripped human clothes.
"I-" I stop and think. "I don't know. Depends." I say.
"Well,ummm my ppp-lanet needs help. Quick. Fast. Me parents are died. I mean dead. they were the qu-een and kkking and they were the only people that could help us. We need food, workers, more gr-eens, more plants!" HE cries. I'm guessing he's probably a little kid because of the way he talks.
"okay, okay. Wow that's horrible Jalarci, I don't know how I can help though. How many people are still on your planet?" I say.
"You have to T-om! Theres only 100 people left! Please!" HE cries again.
"okay then take me to your world." I say even though I know he can't actually take me. or could he?
"Follow me." He says. I ask him questions while I follow him deeper in the forest.
"Why are you here? How do you know english." I ask.
"Well i came here for hhh-elp, and to lookie for others like me. Me parents taught me they did comie to earth a lot and they stud-ied the Humans main language. English." He says casually.
"oh." I feel stupid as I say oh.
I follow Jalarci for a long time until he came to a stop. I'm so confused I just want to run back home, even though its worse there I was scared and worried. An alien just came to pick me up and bring me to his planet to help him, of course nobody would believe me. But I did the right thing I stayed, and helped a creature. a creature Just like me. I wish Some body would help me, I was also a helpless creature.

Jalarci is behind a bush pointing into a cave.
"Whats wrong?" I ask.
"We ha-ve to goo this way." He says and runs to the cave, I run after him.
The cave is dark, long and and a lot of rocks at the bottom of our feet. All of a sudden Jalarci stops and turns to the wall and touches what I thought was the wall, but it wasn't it lit up and numbers were in a little square on the wall.
"Wha- what!?" I didn't know what to say.
"This iss the code whe-re youu can type-e a code which it will lead to me planet." He says calmly.
"umm okay." I say as I'm calmed down also.
I see Jalarcis green slimy fingers push on the numbers, and all of a sudden the wall opens up to a bright light. "He-he." He does a weird laugh and motions me into the light. I let out a big breath and say to my self "here we go." I walk in and behind me the cave wall shuts with a big boom.
"How did you know that, that was where the wall was?" I asked him.
He looks up at me again, this time he sighs very loudly and says "Been there manys of times." I feel Jalarci getting annoyed at all the questions that this earthing is giving to I decide to only ask a few more over time.
I look around his world and it is so different all the houses are made out of random sticks and the ground is blue and gooey, but the weather is very hot. There is floating U.f.o's flying around like in the movies. I could tell what Jalarci meant now when he said "no more greens!" there wasn't any tree's or anything around.
I just follow Jalarci like a little kid following their parents in a large grocery store.
"So where are we going? and how can I help you?" I say trying to be nice so he won't snap, I never knew what kind of patience and alien would have.
"well I don't know..." He says and turns to me. He stops and thinks for a while and then talks again. "I know I will take you to Maxie!" He's excited and starts walking again but now I know he knows where he's going. I was about to ask who's Maxie, but I stooped my self.
"Here wee's are." He points to what looks sorta like a tent.
"whos' house is this?" I ask.
"Maxie!" He said very short tempered. He pulls my arm and we are inside the tent like house. It is very cold and I set my bag down that I have been carrying for hours when i was going to run away. The tent was any bigger on the inside then It was on the outside but big enough i guess. In the middle of the room sat a old version of Jalarci, I was guessing that this was the "Maxie".
"Jalarci!" He swings up Jalarci and holds him tightly, I wish I had some one that would do that to me. "Unkey!" He said cheerfully. I was guessing Maxie was his uncle.
"ha-ha and who is this Jalarci? A human! very good boy!" He chuckles like Santa and holds his hand out like he wants a shake so I shake.
"Well hi sir, my names Tom. Jalarci's been saying you need help, maybe by a human?" I tell him making sure all of this is right.
"yes yes! but before all that how about you sit down and tell me about earth, boy." He pulls out a chair at the table him and Jalarci where sitting at. But when he says "boy" it reminds me of Kilo my step-dad. I sit there and I'm yelling at him in my head, I want to run away and live in this world forever where everyone's so nice and treat me like there king and not a servant!
"Are you okay, boy?" He asks with a worried face.
"Uh yeah sorry of course
