the Frozen Cube

chapter seven

The timing of my strange dream seemed considerably weird because later that day I got a call from a government agent. They said to meet him at a secret location because someone could be listening in to their phone conversation.

I met them at the park where they had a folder for me. The government is so secretive about all of this, which makes sense. So, I waited till I was safe in the garage to open the folder.

The contents of the folder were a location of the cube, pinpointed by satellite. It turns out the cube had been destroyed, but the partical accelerator explosion was enough to make them consider the possibility of its return. The dark matter infused in the metal had brought it back together.

They found the cube on the opposite side of the planet from where the Allspark had told me to go, the south Pole. I didn't tell anyone about the Allspark because humans aren't supposed to know about the Allspark.

My mom was making bread when I handed her the letter that says the military had requested for me. My mom looked horrified that I was going to be sent away. She said she would do whatever she could to fight this because I wasn't 18 for another month.

"Mom," I raised my hands, "it's fine. I want to go."

"But you've always had a problem with violence. They will have you using guns."

I grabbed her hand. "That's a risk I'm willing to take, but if my country needs me, I will fight to defend it."

My mom started crying, "ok, go pack your bags then. I'll see you when you get back."

I went upstairs to pack. I was really worried about this. What if my dream had been real? Does this mean that by going to the south Pole would cause me trouble? I was conflicted as I finished packing.
