My Enemy, My Hostage, My Alien
Fifteen years ago, aliens slaughtered Birdie's entire kin. A strange alien boy appeared. He would secretly bring her food and even took a bullet for her before vanishing from her life forever. Now, having reclaimed her empire through a blood-soaked struggle, Birdie finds that the final survivor pulled from the ruins is none other than a tall, alien heir with pale violet eyes. Just as she is about to execute him, an unexpected turn of events forces her to reconsider.
Story Guide
Episode 1
The Donovan ranch throws the biggest party in the valley—and it's the last happy night Birdie will remember. Her father lifts her up, presses a split-heart necklace into her hands, and promises they're a team, together forever. Seconds later, the cheers turn to screams. Forty figures in black pour into the ballroom, and they aren't men. They're aliens.
Birdie's father shoves her behind him as the room falls apart. These are the rivals who killed her mother, and they've come to take the ranch too. The night ends with her father forced to his knees and a daughter who suddenly has nothing left to lose.
Episode 2
Chaos swallows the manor. Birdie clings to her father as he backs out of the ballroom, guns blazing, and hands her off to Levi with one order: get her to the safe house in neutral territory. Before she's pulled away, her father presses his jeweled belt buckle into her hands—the Donovan crest, with a real key hidden inside. "This holds your key to the kingdom. Don't lose it."
She begs him to come with her. He doesn't. He runs back into the fray, and the alien leader makes him kneel, demanding the land back. When Birdie's father refuses to break, the leader turns his eyes on her—and fires. Levi grabs her hand and they ride.
Episode 3
The safe house is empty except for an armory and a child's fear. Levi leaves Birdie alone with her father's buckle and a pistol, and her grief finally catches up with her. Then she spots a lit house down the block and sneaks in, shaking—only to be caught by a hand that's strangely soft, with long fingers.
It's an alien boy. Lavender skin, glowing violet eyes, and no interest in hurting her. He warns her to stay quiet and promises food if she comes back tomorrow. Terrified and confused, Birdie can't square him with everything her father taught her—but she smiles back anyway.
Episode 4
Birdie returns, and the alien boy's face falls when he learns what happened to her family. "You're so brave," he tells her—she doesn't feel brave. When soldiers close in, he throws himself in front of a gunshot meant for her, the bullet tearing through his shoulder, then hauls her down a hallway and out a window.
She grabs his wrist and finds a wide scar that glows under her touch. He's a child slave. He shoves her out, telling her to run. Inside, the aliens put him on his knees—until their leader realizes who they've just shot: the heir.
Episode 5
The next night, the window is cracked open. The boy gives her a name—Gav—and Birdie finally says the ugly truth out loud: his kind killed everyone she loved, and one day she'll kill them all. But not him. "You're not like them," she tells him, and presses half of her father's necklace into his hands.
For weeks Gav feeds her, saves her, becomes something like a friend—maybe more. Then Levi returns, and Birdie never sees the boy again. Fifteen years later she stands over a field of bodies outside the manor, her revenge complete. Levi drags out the last survivor: tall, violet-eyed, wearing a chain just like hers. Her heart leaps. Gav?
