Polaris

Polaris | Polaris |

The UFO hovered for a moment, then landed on the log crushing it like it was nothing. Noah couldn't believe his eyes! Chris just stud there, he was used to it at this point. Suddenly a metal stick shot out of the UFO and aimed at Cat. Metallic boxes circled the stick, suddenly attaching to the stick creating a gun. Everyone stood still... Cat trembled as the end of the gun started to turn red. A loud humming noise emitted from the gun and the red glow became so brilliant that Cat nearly lost her vision. Will pulled her away and hinted to Noah that it was time to leave. Noah signaled to the others to slowly move back wards and go for cover. Alex tensed up, he had raised the scope of his gun up to his eye and had his finger on the trigger. Chris jolted forward towards Alex.
"No Alex! Wait!" Chris ran over to Alex who had pulled the trigger and hit the UFO. It left a dent in the hull, the UFO fell onto the sand next to the log and shut off. They all stood there astonished at how little effort it took to kill it. Alex walked over to it.
    "Huh. And I thought I was the worst marksman in the group." He said with a laugh. Suddenly the UFO darted up from the ground and shot Alex in the chest, then flew out of their sight. Everyone rushed to Alex to see if he was ok.
    "I'm sorry Chris. I was scared. I guess that's what people do when their scared, they shoot things." Alex chuckles.
    "Trust me you'll be fine, we have a first aid kit over at the log," As soon as Chris said that, Alex pointed to log that was in smithereens. "Oh, um, we have extra bandages in our backpacks come on." Will grabbed some of the extra bandages from his backpack and wrapped it around Alex's chest. When he was done Noah came over and put Alex's arm on his shoulder to kill some of the pain.
"Hey don't we have that cave thing on the hill near the log. I still have a shovel, maybe we can dig it up." Will said grabbing his shovel. As they headed up to the hill Will and Bell ran ahead to start digging.
    "Alex doesn't look to good. I don't know if he'll make it past a day." Bell said as she flung a pile of sand into the air.
Will chuckled,  "I say he'll be fine. Alex is strong he'll be fine. I hope." Will and Bell continued digging until they couldn't dig any more. Will leaned on a rock near by to rest while Bell went to go get the others. When they got up the hill to the base they dug, Will was gone! Everyone looked frantically for Will. They checked the rock about five times before Noah spoke up,
    "Guys! Over there!! I see him! He's been kidnapped!" Noah pointed to another rock far away from them. On the rock was a masked figure who, as soon as Noah saw them, quickly ran to a spacecraft not too far from them. The spacecraft had two long wings and had a very airplane like hull. Noah and the others quickly ran after the masked stranger. Bell was helping Alex run as she had the idea that running to the spacecraft would get her there quicker. So as quick as she could, handed off Alex to Chris, and bolted for the spacecraft. As the stranger approached the ship the hanger door began to open. Noah was just inches away from reaching the stranger right when it jumped up into it's ship. Suddenly, two engines appeared for the stern of the ship and blasted the stranger into the sky. Everyone stopped and took a breath, before seeing the ship completely disappear from their views. Fear, panic, and confusion filled their heads as thoughts of being lost in space haunted their minds.
Noah was furious, "I was SO close! I could have saved him if I was just. Faster." Cat walked over to Noah.
    "Noah. Don't beat yourself up about this, there was nothing you could have done." Cat said as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
    Noah turned to look at everyone and said, "We'll have to head the to Polaris then. How are we supposed to get to a star millions of miles away!"
Alex looked at Chris. Chris had an idea.
