5. First Jump

The Slyuca people were still digging until Juliana's mum ran outside with the gun. "Get out! Go plant your bombs on your own damn planet! Get away!" They saw out the window the Slyuca people run away at top speed. "Hi girls and boy," Mrs. Holage said calmly when she got back in.

She put the gun where it was in the first place. Danny and Anastasia had they're mouths wide open. Juliana however, decided to get a board game from the cupboard where the gun was on.

"Did you just see what I just saw Danny?" Ana gulped.

"I don't know what you saw but I just saw Mrs. Holage whip out a gun," They looked at each other in shock when,

"Hey do you guys want to play monopoly? Or Ludo?" Juliana asked making the two ghosts jump. "Monopoly please," Said Ana and the game began.

It was night time now, Danny had left hours ago, but Juliana and Ana were far from going to sleep. Ana had plans to go into Mr. Holage's lab and travel back in time. When everyone was surely asleep, Ana and Juliana crept from Juliana's bedroom, down the cold tile steps and into the lab.

"When are we going to Ana?" Juliana curiously asked.

"You'll see," was the reply. "How do you work this thing?" Asked the confused Ana. "He did label everything, there must be a manual if I know my Dad," Said Juliana. Low and behold, in the 'glovebox' compartment, there was a small manual.

"Rightyo, first we gotta move this leaver over here," instructed Juliana. "Set the date and time over there," Juliana pointed at a flat surface with numbers on it. "Just turn that knob right there. Yeah, right there," Juliana showed Ana.

Numbers lit up on the surface. Ana turned the knob and set the date to the fifth of May. "Now what?" She asked. "It just says to push that big red button," Juliana read out loud.

"Okay," Ana said and hit the big red button. They seemed to whirl round and round making Juliana retch in a paper bag that was in the glovebox. Ana was too excited to think about doing anything else. 'Today is the day,' she thought. 'Today is the day I get my brother back.'

When the swirling movement had ceased, Ana opened the door and jumped out of the machine. "Shut up!" A familiar voice yelled and she heard a door slam. "You said that because?" Juliana asked waiting for Ana to finish the sentence. No answer.

"Okay, so what? Do we just walk in, grab your brother and go?" Said impatient Juliana. "I want to try and disarm the bomb or move it at least," Ana said, and explained the plan.

"You're going to knock on the door and distract my Dad while I will find the bomb, I mean look, the bomb is under a bit of dirt that looks like it was recently moved, give me a thumbs up sign when your ready" Ana explained. "Got it?"

"Got it," Juliana confirmed.

Juliana ran to the front door of Ana's house and knocked on the door. Her dad answered the door, Ana couldn't hear anything. She waited for ten minutes and was suddenly worried about Juliana. She crept towards the front door. Ana could hear Jake's voice yelling to his songs blaring on his radio.

The sound of his way off tuned filled her with two thoughts, 'I miss him so much, I can't call him because that would kill the plan,' and 'I had almost forgot how awful his voice was, geez'. A tear trickled down her cheek. She wiped it away and tried to carry on with the plan.

"Juliana? Juliana?" Anastasia called/whispered. 'Crunch' 'crunch'. Someone was near her and almost yelled for help when a soft something covered her mouth. The strong smell of chloroform filled her nose and mouth. The whole world disappeared before her eyes.

Her captor held the soft surface right on top of her features. 'No no no. I have to save Jack. She writhed but it was no use. It was if the captor knew exactly what she was going to do next. She slipped into an endless darkness.
