Lasta Coop Pre-teen Stories

 Story Two

Lasta Coop In Space

A year past since Lasta Coop rescued the Easter Bunny and despite telling everything to everyone, not one person believed her not even her twin Latso. Although they did enjoy her telling them, and loved all the detail in her descriptions. They also liked to discuss them too, which confused her but what confused her more was the fact that they always asked her where she got her ideas from. Regardless of how many times she told them they continued asking that.

Then a week after her sixth birthday party she was in the garden when she spotted a light surround her and with it came an odd heat. It was not a dangerous heat but a welcoming one, like when you are cold but this was summer so it was odd. She felt an odd sense of security as she felt the weight decrease from her feet and soon she was in the air. Travelling up into the sky until she felt herself dematerialise and with a flash she was gone!

The next thing that Lasta saw was a dark room with coal black walls. As she breathed the air felt uncomfortable in her lungs and had a mild smoky sent. She could feel the gravity was pressing heavily on her but not enough for it to become unbearable. She looked down the hall and could see flashes of light down the hall. She heard a deafening noise as her ears painfully popped.

She was about to turn round fully until something threw a punch her way which she was able to dodge. Then another one quickly followed however she could not dodge this one.

“You are far younger than I remember, Lasta Coop.” she heard a deep voice say. “Well, regardless. I-”

She then saw a flash and then he was gone! Then a hand extended to her. She took it and was pulled up. She looked up at the one who helped her. The creature had scales like a fish but the edges of each scale glowed. It's eyes ere white with only a plus shape to identify the pupils were. It was wearing bulky clothing made of material like plastic and leather.

“Lasta I am so very sorry, however he escaped from our prison.” said a whisper-like voice.

“What on Earth are you talking about? And how do you even know my name anyway?” she asked.

“Well, my name is Detor and that was Otb, I know of you and your legends. Otb, is an evil alien that had just recently escaped from the Intergalactic Planet Prison or IPP for short.” he explained. “He was once a vessel of hope and ridicule on his home planet. The one with silver eyes and purple flesh.”

“So, is he dead?” she asked.

“Hardly! He is your enemy, and he will try to kill you until you turn eighteen and become immortal.” he replied. “However, you will have to face him and his traps designed to kill you in order to go back to Earth and leave what you Earthlings call the Back Knight.”

“And do I get a reward if I survive?” she asked.

“You get to live and go home.”

“Ha! Thanks a lot!” she remarked sarcastically as Detor started to vanish.

“Good luck!” he said as he disappeared completely leaving her to wander the Black Knight.

Wonder where it came from? Is it alien, or is it from some lost time where all humanity had access to technology far beyond when they should? Well maybe, maybe not. What if this was build by magic, or what if it comes from a different world entirely?

She heard her stomach start to rumble as she started to look for something to eat. That was when food presented itself, almost magically in-front of her. It looked like a purple mixture of jelly and jam. It smelt like a fruity icing. She felt her mouth watering as her eyes felt like they were watering too, as they threatened to let out tears of joy.

She walked up to the food but she then doubled back when she saw glowing white eyes looking at her and as she did she spilt the food which burnt the a hole in the floor below her like it was made of acid! She let out an instinctive scream. She only stopped when she heard Otb's laughter which reminded her that her scream was nothing but entertainment to this foe.

So she got up as he ran away and they ran from one room to the following room. Then he suddenly turned round and as he did she saw that he looked like a boy in his middle teens just with dark purple skin that looked as if it was almost turning black but with white glowing eyes. He had long crimson locks with a fringe that sat just below the jawline. She may have been far too young to appreciate it but she could not help but notice that he was not only close to a human but also had a face that maybe someone older would call handsome.

Then he smiled, showing off his pointed blindingly white teeth. She was about to run at him until she heard a noise behind her and spotted that the doors behind closed and as her head turned back she broke out into a run as the doors ahead slammed shut! She banged into them then as she stared to breathe fast she felt that the air was getting thinner and thinner. She soon realised what was going on.

She lay down and held her breath and closed her eyes and extended her arm and then waited. She soon felt her lungs tell her to open her mouth to let in some air, however she knew that if she did tat then she would die, after all her immortality did not come into effect until she was eighteen and to become immortal she would have to reach it to eighteen. So regardless of how much her lungs thirsted for it.

Then as soon as she heard the doors open she scrambled to her feet and ran through the door until she felt herself slam into the floor! She tried to get up but it seemed as if her weight had somehow increased. She then spotted that the door across was open and she had to slide herself to it. As she did she could feel her weight increase again and again. She started to feel her mussels ache and threaten to quit on her but she knew that if she could just get to the door then she would be fine. Then as her chin skimmed the floor she was out and she felt her body become lighter and lighter as she passed through the doors.

Lasta felt herself shaking as she tried to get herself back under control. Then she felt something hit her in the temple. She found herself on the floor as the pain sunk in as she spotted Otb above her holding a blunt knife she touched her temple fortunately for her the blade had not pierced it. She quickly dived out of the way before another assault could touch her she then got to her feet and charged at his groin hitting it with her fist. Then she felt a hand pull her hair and a knee in her gut. She collapsed as saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.

“Well you have only brought this upon yourself. You know, if you had done what I had said we would not even be in this situation.” he taunted.

“What are you talking about?” she asked.

“Oh, oh! You are not the Lasta Coop that I met, no, you must be her younger version. How very interesting.” he said as he knelt down to her and looked at her. He then stroked her left bottom eyelid, his eyes glowing with something that resembled a malicious curiosity. “You have identical coloured eyes. No, you are not her at all! You are just a girl barely a child, but too old to be a toddler. Yes that is what you are!”

Lasta Coop could feel his breath on her face as she gripped onto something and pulled. She was about to hit him with it until she felt something shudder. She lost her balance and soon she could feel Otb's weight on her. She felt her arms being pinned down.

“Now, now, now, stop that.” he whispered in her ear. “Now-”

Suddenly she felt his weight decrease and he was fading before her eyes. Soon she was back home wondering what happened.

Probably triggered a teleport system. She deduced as she walked home to get something to eat.
