the Pandora trilogy part I

Wake

The pod barreled through the sky at some unearthly speed, the kids inside completely unaware.only one was awake, and he was running out of time. It wasn't supposed to happen, not yet. He only had 90 seconds left, but they would not wake up for another 20, minimum. And that time could be fatal. Because they were going to Pandora.

And if they didn't know, they were all going to die.

Peter woke up in a white room. He didn't know where he was, just his name. He didn't know why he was here.he didn't know who sent him. He didn't know.....well, he didn't know anything. His head ached and it felt like a knife was trapped inside trying to pry its way out, as if it were a living thing. Peter laughed at the thought. Why it seemed so funny, he didn't know. He didn't know a great deal.

He tried to sit up, to no avail, because evidently He was too weak. He felt as light as a feather. He was outside his mind, for some reason, he seemed to be loopy and inattentive.

Some time passed, but not much. There were sleeping kids all around the room. In the center of the room wave a glass window, and outside of the window was a large....what was it called? Ah, yes. A planet. Of course.

Suddenly, two Doors slid open with a hiss, and as they retracted to the other side of the wall, another child stepped through. As he saw Peter, his eyes grew large in recognition. He sprinted towards Peter so fast Peter thought he was go I.g to try to hit him, or use some kind of violence. But then he came to a halt, and stared at Peter." Of course it would be you...." he muttered.

" what's your name?" Asked Peter. Suddenly Peter seemed less loopy, something about this.kid made him more on his guard, thinking more, Peter knew he should remember this child, but from where?" I only ha e 58 seconds." Said the kid." My name is Ethan. We are currently in space. That planet," he said, gesturing out the window," is Pandora. Once you get there, we have....microchips. Implanted in us. They will give us one month of oxygen. When I pass out, tell that to the others," he gestured now to the kids lying on the floor,"because by then my memory Wil be wiped too. And......remind me these numbers when I wake back up. Here. I found these earlier." Ethan said. He tossed Peter a notepad and pen. Peter caught them a.s held them in a writing position. Ethan said,"893.7866.988. Write them down." Ethan repeated the numbers again. Peter wrote them down. Then Ethan nodded. " after one month, when ten oxygen runs out, we Wil die if we haven't found the vial. That's......all I was told. I don't know.....ugh...." it was evident ethan was going to pass out. He dropped to the floor,limp, and Peter stared in awe. He was the only one left awake.Peter smiled in sporting himself. It was peaceful. The moon, the stars, Pandora......he even thought--

The Explosion shook the pod. Peter flew across and rammed into a wall. He cried out in pain as the ship began to spin forward onto Pandora. 6 billion miles away, the group huddled around the computer lost connection. They were on there own now.
