Strained Limits

Chapter One, The Meteor

“Bailey, shut up” A 16 year old boy wearing dark jeans and a black hoodie said to his friend he walked with.

The other kid, Bailey looked a little bit annoyed at him but did stop as she knew how she could ramble on. “Hey Daniel, what's that?...” She asked watching a small flaming projectile fall from the sky heading towards them.

“Hmm?” He grunted lowly before looking up and his good falling off his head. He stumbled back and fell along with Bailey as the projectile hit the ground 20 something feet in front of them. He stood and slowly made his way to the edge of the semi-deep crater that had been created. A orange-red ball of something was at the bottom. The rough, bowling ball sized object did nothing except glow. A few red strands seemingly of the object floated around the ball. He shoved his hands in his hoodie pocket and jumped into the crater, sliding down, Bailey next to him. As they got to the bottom and walked to the object a part of it shot out at them and before they could react it swallowed them in darkness and they fell unconscious.
