The Trespass

Hello, I’m Britney Rojers of the first batch on Mars .

This is my video log which NASA told me to keep. You know about how the people on earth in the 21st century was sending normal people to the moon who would have known an 80 year later people would be living on Mars?

 Anyways we left on 2101, ironic I know. The reason why Mars is known as earth’s sister is because of two reasons 1: they are close to the same size and the time is almost the same. On earth 1 day is 23 hours and 56 minutes so we round it off to 24 hours but one day on Mars is 24 hours and 36 minutes almost the same right? Moving back to the story we left on 3001 January 1st we faced many hardships on the way but at the end we reached. We reached on Mars on the date: December 15th of 2101 we were delayed by 2 months, but the journey was worth it. In my batch we had 10 people (for safety measures they did not send many people) 

I was the commander -in- chief. It took us a few months to build our houses for the next few years. Fun fact : did you know a Mars day is 24 hours and 36 minutes but a year on Mars is 637 days? So for the next 3 Mars years we had to live on well Mars. On February 20th we finished our houses .

That day our leader; miss perfect Rachel brown conducted our first official meeting on Mars. Don’t get me wrong i like her a lot but she really was miss perfect. In the meeting she spoke about how we should embrace Mars as a home and love it. We should have fun but at the same time be serious. then she later spoke about how she wanted people to tell her if she was doing something wrong. People kept talking about what a great humble, smart, generous and kind person she was but they did not know her like me after all she was my sister!

That day I saw Rachel doing all sorts of weird things like going into the imfirmy and picking up different surgical knifes and then going out of our headquarters and picking up stones and smelling them. I started getting worried that she probably had a serious stress issue. That night I confronted her and asked her about her weird behaviour she suddenly stiffed up and uncomfortably passed her behaviour as a symptom of stress overload. The way she replied had not satisfied me I continued to question her. She started to play a mimosa pudina, closing to my questions until 

she screamed at me with anger “ GO AWAY BRITNEY OR I WILL TAKE YOUR POSTITION AWAY!” Startled by her sudden outburst I obeyed dutifully. And went back to my room. That night sleep did not find me I stayed up pondering on Rachel’s behaviour . That next morning Rachel, camer and Lavendar went on exterior job (collecting rocks and finding flat land to build buildings) and did not come back by the evening, was working on coding our rocket’s program to make sure it was working. By the time I realised Rachel was not there it was already 6 in the evening too late to search though it was possible that the had probably found something and were sending coordinates but I was still suspicious of Rachel but let it slip. By the next day Rachel and her crew mates had still not come. Now everyone was in a frenzy , scared that their leader had still not come back. Being the commander-in-chief I was supposed to calm everyone but i did not have Rachel’s charm with people . By a few hours I was able to calm everyone down. I called a meeting in favour of dealing with this situation. In the meeting i asked everyone “all in favour of sending a set of people to find the missing crew mates?” Out of our 7 people 2 raised their hands one of those two were a boy called liven when he saw how many people raised their hands, he looked so betrayed.

“How dare you all? Rachel was our leader she was loyal to each and every one of you all especially you Britney she loved you so much it was almost like she was your bigger sister!” 

She was my sister thought

Another girl called Insila quickly retorted on liven,

saying

“What makes you think we don’t want to save her? We all do! And by the way ten times more than you. We just are smart unlike you; we don’t want more people to disappear like Rachel!”

Liven slowly sunk back into his seat with an embarrassed look on his face. At the end we decided not to risk anyone else’s life. That night i went to sleep feeling satisfied with how i dealt with situation . That night was the last night I would ever sleep peacefully in dead of the night i saw a figure in my room. The figure was most probably a girl , she looked like she had not eaten in months she had a carnivoraous stare and she had a creepy sneer her other features were familiar but i for some reason could not place her in my mind suddenly i realised 2 other people in the room all looking like the girl.

They all were staring down on me. In a frenzy I quickly took a small glass of water from my bedside table and smashed it against one of the three’s face. One of them suddenly stopped staring at me and looked normal for a second a familiar look of confidence loomed over her face. The look only a leader could have. Rachel! Suddenly it struck me. They had found something they had not intended on finding. While all these thoughts zoomed in my brain the mad people took advantage of my current state and one of them (who was not Rachel) hit me across the face with a torch. That was the last thing I remembered.when i woke up the next day i was in my room only my glass was on the table and my face did not pain at all! How i was sure something had happened the last night but what? Was it all possibly a stupid dream? I got up from my bed and prepared for the day. When i was done, i went out and what surprised me was that over the night Rachel, Camer and Lavendar had returned but they looked completely normal. That day Rachel had called me to her room 

“Hey Britney sorry we disappeared like that we had found a few non barren plac-” suddenly her voice sized up she was earlier speaking with her normal bossy tone now her voice completely changed to horror and scared “ save me from him Britney, save me he is killing me!” Rachel’s voice changed back to normal 

“ remember Rachel i will not kill you until i find a new host stupid human so fragile only thing you deserve is death death and death” for the last few minutes of this conversation i was paralysed “Rachel ar..are you um... okay?”i asked

“ Rachel looked at me innocently and said “ yes Britney why would you ask?” She started to walk towards me” Rachel le..let me go’ i said while trembling “ oh don’t worry when I’m done with you you’ll be as free as a bird.”

She said while she was cackling she had cornered me in one Corner of the room. suddenly a siren started beeping “ oxygen has been cut! Britney report to the oxygen room at once.”

 “ ugh I’m still not done with you sister !” She said that word sister as if it was a new type of spice. Which disgusted and frightened at the same time

she opened my way and I quickly ran out of her room sure to tell everyone but i suddenly realised no one would listen to me Rachel was their idol, leader goddess. She had all of them wrapped around around her fingers. I quikley ran to the oxygen room the machine was breaking apart loads of oxygen was lost many people including insila and liven were trying to stop it but their tries were futile. Me, being the chemist between all of us new exactly what to do. I quickly took one chemical which was founded in 2070 known as ageion . If it was burnt than it could seal cracks in walls or well anything.I quickly removed it from my pokets(it’s been useful multiple of times) and I started to fix the generator . In the next ten minutes I was done .

 I suddenly realised everyone was watching me (including Rachel) when i was done everyone clapped for me. I spotted Rachel in the crowd giving me a mock clap it was surprising how much a person can change because of power! Rachel gave me that carnivorous sneer, which told me that for sure she would deal with me in some time. 

Rachel said “ okay that’s enough please go back to whatever you all were doing before this incident. Rojers i need to talk to you.”

My heart started to beat really quickly would this be the end to my life. Would I die isolated on Mars? Little did i know how much longer i would live, but who said sane? ha ha. Anyways Rachel took me to her room and said,

 “Well, Britney lets redo this. What was I going to do? Oh yeah about to infiltrate your body you look stronger than Rachel!”

 Said well Rachel with a sneer 

“ what are you?” I asked my natural quriousity taking over 

“all will be revealed in times course, now no more delays!”

Said Rachel she started to descend towards me .

She kept walking towards me that very soon i had stumbled against a wall 

“nowhere to run now Britney even as a child you were the more carefree one but i was always the smatter and more sensible one . You always attracted trouble towards yourself and i was the one who bailed you out you never were scared of consequences because i was the one who bailed you out. Now i love seeing that fear in your eyes. Maybe for once you understand that your actions have consequences.”

 She said with that ugly sneer which she wore.then she quikley put something against my mouth and well i don’t remember anything else. When i woke up i was in my own room and nothing felt amiss for a second time it was almost like Rachel and her minions were toying with me. I was scared out of my wits what the hell was going on with Rachel . A small voice in my head said that she was simply trying to scare me out of my posting and that she was a phycopath. I got dressed and went for my job i bumped onto rachel a couple of times but she acted like nothing had happened between us.every time i met her for some reason a voice lurking in the dark depths of my mind , said that I should kill her or she would kill me.

The temptation was almost irresistible. Almost. I passed this weird thing off as a sleep deprived matter but after a few days this “voice” started to take over my brain slowly and slowly until I could hardly talk people!

I went to our crew’s medic she told me that this could be because of two things ether a disease or a parasite and since there was no living creature on Mars she passed it off as a disease a few other people had also come to her with the same symptoms and she thought a new corona virus was probably doing the rounds.

 The second she said the word “parasite” the voice in my head took over completely it said a flurry of words which i could not understand. After my appointment with the doctor, I went to my room and when i reached, the voice created such a loud screech in my head that i fell on the floor covering my ears. Oh, you have no idea how bad the pain was! The voice said “listen to me Britney you are weak and i am strong. You are dumb and I am smart. Let me take over the thinking business. It’s too hard for you! Just. Give. In” oh the horror! but i did feel the temptation to give in it was overpowering me. It would surely be easier for me right to just relax. It took some time but finally i gave in and ever since I have been under its control, he he he . 

By the day more and more people were dying but. In an unusual way. They died from multiple stab and choke wounds . but not me ha ha ha. Who would have known that a little control could change your life ? heheheheheheheh. The deaths continued until it was only me and Rachel.

She knew that she was not killing the people, but neither was me in fact I can’t remember anything. Just give in. Just give in. Rachel called me mad and paranoid but really i was just misunderstood right Steve? Steve the voice answers me! Na na na na na na. Hahaha. Then one day Rachel came and confronted me “You are the one who is doing this I saw that look on your face that night my assistant insila died. You’re a murderer”

I can’t really remember what happened. But ………. But I remember seeing Rachel’s dead body. Well like she matters. We are on our way back to earth now. Only I survived from the original 10. But I am bringing back a present for our planet and human world. The present’s is what killed everyone. The present will cause a trespass.
