     This is a story about Ben Fieldstone and Laura Armstrong.   The story starts out with Ben as a young boy running away from home and then seeing his house getting destroyed by something that came from the sky.  He finds out that his family has been killed and goes into foster care.  A few months later Laura and her twin brother,X-10, is born.   Laura is born like a normal human being while her brother is deformed and looks alien like.   X-10 is taken to a lab and the doctor that delivered Laura takes her to a couple that wanted to adopt a child.  Years later Ben runs away from an abusive foster home and Laura is growing up like a regular child but there are events that keep happening to everyone that Laura cares about.  Ben is in the military and nearly dies if if wasn't for a strange man name Felix did not save him.  Felix tells Ben that he is meant for a bigger purpose and leaves Ben wondering why.  Laura grows up and her parents and friends are dying around her with her no knowing that her brother is doing it.  She and Ben eventually find each other and find out that they are to fight her brother and have children.   They fight the battle with her brother and win.  They have a son and soon find out that the aliens are planning to come to Earth.
