we watched as the new planet came into view. it was magnificent, i looked over to the other pods, one of which had my mentor in it.her face was expressionliss
as she looked at our new home.i'm fifteen years of age,and a young witch.my supervisers or mentors said that it would be good for us to go with other witches
and have an experience of our own.My names Sorrow and my best friends name is Ember.We were so excited that we were practially bouncing in our seats.we had just entered
Earth's atmosphere when everything went wrong.the controls started going haywire and we fell faster and faster to the ground. i glanced over at my mentor only to see
noone there.now heres something you should never do in a situation like this. i paniced as i saw the ground grow closer and closer.BAM! the pod hit rattling everything
including me.i had just managed to get out when it suddenly burst into flame.Surprise!. i gasped as the wave of heat hit me sending me back thirty feet.After i recovered
i stood up looking around for anyone.i noticed smoke rising from my west.i walked slowly, fore if i moved fast my leg would start to burn.After a few feet i opened my
suit leg and saw red angry blisters from the blast.i winced at the sight but forced myself to keep walking.I finally made to the crash sight. i saw Ember lying on the
ground i ran forgetting for the moment about my leg.I kneeled down and was just about to check her pulse when she jerked away seething.
"good to know your breathing." she gave me a dirty look and got to her feet.i on the other hand was slowler about it.
"What the heck happened?"
"Like i would know,all i remember is the controls going haywire and me crashing." i said
"NO!"she answered sarcasticly
"You asked me what happened and i told you." she ran her eyes over herself than me,proabley checking for any wounds.her eyes found the blisters and she made a face.
"Ew."
"yeah no kidding,are you going to heal me or we just going to sit here and watch it ooze?"she made a retching sound at the word ooze.but she got down and placed her hand
on it muttering words in ancient tongue.
"Sowe,koska,obold."light shimmered out of her hand and i watched like so many times before as the ooze stopped and the blisters disappered for good.for a girl with
healing powers she gets nauseated very quickly.
"Move it."she ordered. i moved it feeling the muscles felx and tighten.
"Good."i mummered she nodded her head and flicked her bangs back away from her face.
"Do you know where we are?"
"Not a clue."
"Okay just great,wonderful. we are so screwed." Ember said as she paced back and forth.
"well i do know one thing."
"What?"
"we know that were seperated from our mentors but we couldn't have gone far."
"Yeah,but we crashed a few minutes after they did and we were all going really fast.who knows we could be in another sta-."
"Shh, do you hear that?"
"Hear what? sorrow what in the blazes are you talking about?"
"I hear cars." her face lit up than it fell
"But sound carries out here it could be miles away from us."she said
"Than i guess we better start now huh." she rolled her eyes but followed.it was almost dusk when we came across the highway.
"ready to hitch-hike?"her eyes widened to the size of pancakes.
"Are you nuts!" She shrieked. i laughed and held my thumb as i started walking down the side.
"You might as well start counting how many cars pass us to pass the time." i said we walked and walked and walked. it must have been close to midnight when Ember said
"Two-hundred and fifty-five cars have passed and not one stopped."
"NO thats not true there was that old man." i said with a laugh
"Yeah,well he was a creep, so he dosnt count." she mummered
"Sorrow i dont think any one is going to pick up two Fifteen year olds out in the middle of a desert." i had just turned to tell her that she was probablety right when
a pulled over with two teenage guys.
"You two need a ride somewhere?" Ember turned her head and slightly shook it.
"where you heading?" i asked him
"New York." he siad with a smile."You?"
"The same as you." i replied
"Really than why dont you hop on in and we'll take ya." i turned to Ember i didnt know what to do. she shrugged and motioned for us to talk.
"Hold on my friend needs to talk to me." i turned and followed her behnd the car.
"NO and thats final."
"Ember there going to the same place as us, and your telling me no. re you insane?"
"I"m not getting in a car with two horny teenage boys. i think we should have gone with the old man." i laughed
"Yeah whatever just get in its not like the the last thing there going to do to us is kill us." she turned and got in without a single word except
"If i die i will come back and haunt you for the rest of your life."
"Your just overreacting,thats all." i climbed in and shut the door while one of them turned the wheel and we were back on the highway.
"Thanks guys."
"No problem. what your names?"
"My names sorrow."
"And your friends?" i turned and looked at her she sighed
"Ember. yours?" the guy that had talked to us before said
"I"m Matt."
"Xavier." the other one siad not taking his eyes off the road as he said it.
"Nice to meet you, two." i never would have realized that by us telling them our names that something big and bad was going to happen.
