Fallen Stars

Falling Deeper: Chapter 1

   Drifting... through the wild depths of space. Hunger for Stardust gnawed at her mind. A single star, sat alone, in space.

   'Sometimes... I wish I could have friend...' the sad star whispered to herself. 'Sometimes... I want to be big like the others...' the star whispered again, 'and sometimes, I wish I could be happy.'

   A rumble echoed across space. The star looked up, and to her sides, and down. Nothing was there. Another rumble, but much louder. The star now looking uncertain, tried waving her small little arms away from the rumbling sounds. 

   Heat washed over the star, she looked around. Suddenly, she saw it. A massive astroid coming straight for her! Wiggling out of the way for the angry asteroid, she tried not to cry from fear.

   WHOOSH! As quick as a flash the astroid hit her and sent her flying toward a planet. The star screamed with fear, her eyes going dry and her heart feeling like it was going to beat out of her chest.

   She was going lighting speed when she hit the ground. It was soft and moist. She was a size of a small fern compared to a lot of other things in this place. Calls of animals echoed across the forest. Trees loomed over her.

   'Wha-wha!' the star gasped.

   'Yip yip!' She heard a weird high pitched noise coming from behind her. She turned around and found a creature, about the size of herself, looking at the star head to toe. It was orangey-red and had a large bushy tail.

   'What are you?' said the star curiously.

   'My name is Foxglove. I'm a fox.' Foxglove said. 'Whats your name?'

   'I don't really have a name... but you can call me Star if you want!' Star said enjoying the company.

   'Uh ok? But what are you?'

   'A star.'

   'Yeah I know your names Star, but WHAT are you?' the fox said getting agitated.

   'STAR!' Star shouted annoyed.

   'So your names Star and you are a star?' Foxglove said, looking confused, but interested.

   'Uhh, yes?'

   'COOL!' Foxglove jumped around and yipped loudly, but stopped when she heard a growl.
