A New Earth

Chapter 1

1 YEAR EARLIER

Main Base

"I found the girl," He said. "She lives in boston. 15 years old. She has a gift," He smiled.

"What number?" She asked him, "12 is slightly young, though. She would have to be at least level 3 for us to take her on board,"

"Number 7. Level 4- almost 5. I think we just found a natural," He looked around the room and added in a lower voice "She has another gift- Number 9. Only level 2, but still impressive for her age'"

"Transport her immediately. We need a new generation of people with gifts, and she sounds very promising. What is her name?"

"Samantha. Samantha Hall,"

Woburn, Boston 

"NO WAY IN HELL AM I GOING TO DRESS UP AS A COWGIRL IF THAT IDIOT IS COMING TOO!!!" I shout. As you can probably tell, I'm annoyed. Really annoyed. Noah has just broken the news that my arch nemesis is coming to the same party that I have to come as a cowgirl to. "Fine. I will consider coming if he is wearing something very gay that makes him look like an idiot," I smile. Knowing noah, he'll kill someone if he thinks it will make me happy.

"Well," He mumbles, "If it makes you feel any better all my friends are coming as vikings," He sighs. "And I have to come as a cowboy aswell so you better be there!" I hear andy giggle and whisper 'I can't wait for all of us to be dressed as people from the wild west! I haven't gotten to wear my new boots yet...' "WOW!" I shout as soon as I hear him exit the room. "Your brother is wierd!" I laugh.

"I know..." I hear his breathy chuckle. "Listen, I have to go but promise to call me tomorrow- I need to tell you something. It's REALLY important,"

"Okay. Fine. Talk to you then!" The line goes dead. I wonder what he wants to tell me... Probably just some random thing about the party that he's overlooked. Oh, well. Time to do homework!

"SAM!!!!!" I hear my mom yell. "GET DOWN HERE!!!!!" Oh crap. I wonder what I did now? Not that much, I think. Except if my sister told her something again- 2 year old's are evil! I padded down the staircase and walked into the kitchen, to find my mom stirring something in a huge pot on the oven. "The school wants you to come in immediately. Oh, and they said to bring your most treasured possesions- apparently they want to do some huge assembly thing for the 9th grade. It starts in 1/2 an hour."

"Oh ok cool. I'll go get ready then." I wonder what it could be? Probably so everyone can find out more about the meaning of 'precious'. They're always talking about how we learn more about the meaning of life or something- I think this is supposed to be our philisophical age. I grab a random bag and put some photos of my family in. I grab my iPod and my laptop, and shove my great-grandmother's diary in as well. I think that about covers it...

Main Base

"Karen!" He calls, "You need to come in here right now- it's really important,"

"What now? The girl is on her way. She should arrive in about an hour- I just got off the phone with her mother."

"We found another one. 16 years old, lives in london. He is also number 7 level 4- but is level 3 on number 11. Naturals are almost everywhere these days..."

"Transport him as well. Would it be possible for the boy and girl to spend time with each other? They sound like a possible match. And we need new matches," She laughed.

Woburn, Boston

"I'll text you when I get there!" I yell and walk out the door. The air is heavy, but only with the smell of flowers. Spring is just ending, and the heat of an american summer is starting to set in. I look around, smiling when I see kids running around and kicking soccer balls. A car pulls up in front of me, and a very formal lady dressed in my school uniform steps out.

"Hello Samantha! This is your ride." She smiles and ushers me into the car.

"Ummm, I don't think i'm allowed to get in a car with a stranger." She smiles again, and says, "Don't worry! We're here to take you to your 9th grade assembly. We're about to go pick up kate, then luke. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, sure," I say tentatively and make sure my phone is on. I get in the car, and the woman climbs in after me. She doesn't seem evil- early 30's, honey blond hair, deep blue eyes and very pale skin. She whispers to the driver so quietly I could barely hear 'Take us to the main base- and make sure Rick knows we're coming.' She sits back down and smiles again.

"What's the main base? Who's rick?" I shout, evidently scaring her. She looks at me with a sorry expression, then comes to sit next to me. The last thing I see is her getting out a syringe full of a clear liquid.

Then everything goes dark.

London, England

"YES, MUM! I know! I'll call him right now!"

"TELL HIM THAT IF HE IS OUT WITH THAT GIRL AGAIN SOMETHING SERIOUS IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!"

I climb down the stairs. "I think you made that quite obvious the last time he brought her here." I grin. My mum was quite protective of us when it came to girls. "To be fair, dan is 19. He should be able to pick who his girlfriends are...." I trail off after she silences me with an ice cold glare.

"No. He. Isn't."

"Ok... Sorry. I'll just go call him," I sprint out of the kitchen, into my room, and lock the door. Sometimes my mum is EVIL! I get out my cell, and text him

'mum is PISSED :) she says if you're out with sophie something 'serious' is gonna happen

LOL!'

Dan is my older brother. He's 19, and is about to go to university. He's currently dating a girl called sophie who is 17. She's really sweet, but slightly dumb. Well, not dumb. Just... not smart. He is completely in love with her, but mum thinks she's an idiot. I log on my laptop and go on facebook.
