Chapter 1

The rain beat steadily down on the gravel driveway. Terra ran, holding a book over her head. Lightning flashed in the distant sky; thunder roared willing all to submit before it. The bus stopped momentarily, then seeing nothing through the heavy fog, hastily sped away to the next stop. Terra's pace quickened, but she knew she wouldn't catch the runaway vehicle. She paused at the end of the driveway just in time to see the bus pass around the corner.

"NO STOP!!! Come back…." Terra yelled uselessly into the gloom. "Not again! Mom is gonna kill me!"

She trudged forward, her heeled boots clicking with every step. Streams of muddy water formed on the sides of the road. Terra shivered as droplets of rain ran down her neck. She pulled her coat closer around her hoping to keep the warmth in.

She looked up in time to see the dull gleam of headlights through the grey fog. She jumped into the grass, hearing the sickening squelch as her boots sunk deep into the mud. The car passed by, stirring up water in it's wake and spraying it in every which direction. Terra made her way back to the road, but suddenly came to a halt as something caught her foot. She wrapped her arms around her legs and yanked them up with no success. It seemed that the harder she pulled, the heavier the object became.

Whispering curses under her breath, she pulled one last time with all her strength. Her leg shot up, catching her off balance. She flapped her arms out in front of her trying to grab something that would hold her up. Terra fell backwards, sliding down the muddy surface of the ditch. A small yelp escaped her lips, but was drowned out by the strong beat of the rain on the pavement.

Terra sat up slowly, stretching her back. It felt like she landed on a pile of rocks and they were digging into her back. "Ow…" Terra moaned. "This is not my day."

She moved her legs, making sure nothing was injured, then moved to her arms and wrists. Pain shot through her arm causing tears to slide down her cheeks and mix with the rain. She crawled up the steep hill, her injured arm clinging tightly to her body. Her hair, now murky brown, hung in loose dreadlocks in front of her face. Sitting on top of the ditch, fully uncovered, was a silver metal sphere. Terra, still resting on her stomach, looked closer at it. There were tiny symbols engraved deep in the object. Without thinking she stuffed it into her wet backpack.

"Hello, are you okay?" A voice shouted from the house across the street.

Terra just lay there starring dumb founded at the blurry figure coming towards her. Her eyes started to cloud up just as the voice asked her again if she was all right. Then she blacked out completely.

White. That was all Terra could see. She sat up in the small hospital bed, not knowing where she was. She looked over at a teenage boy, about her age, starring blankly at a picture of a heart in the health magazine, trying to pronounce the big words in the captions. He looked up and saw Terra watching him.

"Hey, you're awake! Okay just between you and me I'm your brother, only way they would let me stay!" The boy said with a grin spreading across his face. "Oh and by the way, the name's Jack." He raised two fingers up to his for head in a lazy salute.

The doctor and his intern walked in then, he was tall and rough looking, with clean-cut gray hair and a knee length white coat, yet the intern was a fairly young, sandy blonde haired woman, who carried a clipboard and wrote down notes on everything the doctor said. "Hello, my name is Dr. Aldrick, and this is my assistant Cassandra Fraiser, she will be helping you today and I will be back to check on you momentarily." With a brisk bow of his head he spun around, leaving Cassie to fend for herself.

"Well lookie here, little Cassie, becoming a doctor!" Jack piped in.

Cassie's eyes widened. "Jack! Wha… Um… Can I speak to you for a second…" She grabbed his ear." Out there."

"Hey! Ow! Cass don't you remember your uncle Jack," He teased. "You know this is kinda strange I mean I used to be older then you, you know!"

Cassie dragged Jack out into the hallway. Terra watched them leave confused at Jack's words.

"What… Why are you here? What did you do to…" She glanced down at her clipboard. "Terra."

Jack shifted from foot to foot. He cleared his throat, waited for effect, then began his story. "I was at home minding my own business and eating my oatmeal and coffee before I had to drive up to the University. I heard a noise outside and I went to check it out and I found her unconscious in the mud. So I picked her up, put her in my car. And I want to stay to see if she is all right! Okay?"

Cassie rolled her eyes at the remark. "Okay you can stay… Just don't get in my way, while I talk to Terra."

Terra sat up, her feet dangling over the edge of the bed. Cassie walked in, with Jack trailing slowly behind her.

"Terra, we called your mother, she should be here in an hour or so… So if you would like you can go to the bathroom and shower quickly and then I will wrap your arm. Okay?" Cassie looked her patient over, noting bruises that were forming on her legs and arms. She wrote down treatments and medication, she was going to use, on her clipboard.

"Okay." Terra mumbled as she made her way to the bathroom.

She stepped into the shower, the hot jets of water relaxing her muscles. She scrubbed her hair until it got it's natural blonde back. There was a knock on the door and Cassie's voice sounded, waking Terra up from her trance.

"Terra, sweetie your mom is here I need to place a cast on your arm, so it will set. Okay!"

"I'll be right there!" Terra yelled back.

She grabbed the hanging towel and dried herself, quickly getting dressed. She stepped out, her mother's worried hazel eyes starring back at her. "Oh dear what happened!"

Cassie interrupted then. "According to my friend Jack over here, who found her, she slipped in the mud down the ditch beside Camsridge Street."

Terra would not look up at her mother, she felt embarrassed that she had missed her bus, that she had allowed herself to slip and caused this whole mess. Suddenly a click went off in her brain, she felt like she was missing something, but what it was, was eluding her. Suddenly it hit her, her backpack, she had had it next to her when she fell, but she had no idea where it was now. She remembered the round metal object she had tripped over and she needed to see it now. She felt some kind of pull to it, an obsession forming in the back of her mind.

The Intern and her mother were talking, when she quickly jumped in, "Where is my backpack?" She glared at Jack at that moment, for he was the one who found her and he would most likely be the one who knew where it was.

"Oh I left it at my house I didn't wanna bring that muddy… thing with me. So, you can come pick it up when they release you, I will keep it by my front door." Jack said from the armchair, trying again to read the magazines.

"Thank you, uh Jack we will stop by later. So when will she be able to come home?" Terra's mom turned to Cassie.

"Well, she has a mild concussion and a broken wrist, but she will probably be able to go home tomorrow afternoon. We need to keep her overnight for observations, you know, standard procedure. I am sure she will be all right though, so there is no need to worry." Cassie informed her.

Everyone had gone home, the halls were dark. Cassie was alone in the doctor's office, Christmas was coming up soon so most of the staff and patients had gone home for the holidays. She finished filling out her last sheet of paper work and decided to go make the rounds and check on the few unlucky souls who were still trapped in this giant fortress. Most were sleeping, except for one girl. Terra, she had come in earlier with Jack, well little Jack. She sat on her bed starring out the window. Her wrapped up arm lying limply by her side, while the other one was wrapped around her knees, pulling them into her chest. She was a skinny girl with hair down to her waist. Cassie studied her curiously from the doorway.

"You can't sleep?"

Terra jumped at the sudden interruption to the silence. Seeing that it was only the intern Cassandra Fraiser, she nodded. Her thoughts kept wandering to the sphere still hidden in her backpack. The more it burrowed into her mind, the more obsessed she became. It seemed so familiar, in some strange way it comforted her.

Cassie walked in, stood next to the bed, and lifted Terra's broken wrist and examined it. She moved it back and forth, starring at Terra's face for signs that it hurt her. When Terra was showing no signs that it was causing her pain, Cassie gently started to unwrap the bandage. Her arm was rubbed pink from the rough edges of the material.

Terra slowly moved her head, until she saw Cassie's hand on hers. A sudden sickening feeling turned in her stomach, a feeling that something was wrong seared through her mind. She snatched her hand back, catching Cassie off guard.

Terra jumped off the bed and ran around to the other side. "Don't touch me! Don't you dare touch me"!

Cassie watched as Terra clenched and unclenched her fists. Her wrist seemed like it was totally healed. Cassie reached out to Terra, who was now shivering in the paper-hospital dress. She wrapped her arms around Terra's shoulders and cautiously guided her back to the bed.

"Sweetie, does your head hurt? What's… wrong?" Cassie knelt down in front of her, taking out her penlight and flashing it in front of each eye. For a second Cassie thought she could see a hint of purple in the deep blue eyes.

She reached out to touch Terra's broken wrist, but snapped it back. Her skin was hot to the touch. The air started to get hot and sticky, making it hard to breathe. Sweat trickled down Cassie's neck, staining her scrubs. She looked over to the thermostat; the temperature was 96 degrees and rising. Terra's skin seemed to glow, steam rose off the exposed flesh.

Cassie stepped back her eyes wide. "What are you…"

Before she could say another word Terra was flying out the door. Cassie could hear the soft pitter-pattering of bare feet on the tile floor as she chased after the frightened teenager. She found a phone and called the main office, she could hear her voice boom over the speakers.

"Security to level 3B, we have a patient on the loose."

Terra ran, terrified. 'What is happening to me!' She ran around the corner almost bumping into an unsuspecting nurse. A small eek escaped her lips. Before she could say anything Terra shoved her aside, sending her sprawling into a pile of unused wheelchairs. One rolled over to the open stairwell, there was a loud metallic crash as it fell backwards down the stairs.

Terra cringed at the sound of each bang. Black figures moved towards her from the other side of the hallway. The nurse sill lay unconscious on the floor.

"Ma'am, calm down. Please come with us." One of the figures said reaching out his hand. It was the security the Intern had called for.

"NO LEAVE ME ALONE!" Terra yelled in an uncontrolled rage. Suddenly a faint blue glow shone, lighting up the hallway. The unnatural heat that seemed to be coming from the glow that now completely surrounded her. The men stepped back confused, some even pulled out their handguns and shakily pointed it at the girl.

Terra ran back in the direction she came from and saw Cassie coming towards her. Both groups moved forward, trying to block off all means of escape. Terra backed up against the way, feeling for anything that might help her. Her hand brushed against something cold and round, a doorknob. She opened it and stumbled through the door. There was a window on the opposite side of the room, she opened it quickly and crawled out onto the ledge. She could see the streets beneath her and the lights of the town reflecting off the moon. She could see her breath form out in front of her, in clouds of mist. She looked left and right for a way to get down and finally saw a gutter attached to the side of the building. She began to inch her way over when she heard the shrill scream of Cassie at the window.

"Terra! Terra! Come back, you need to come back inside now! Please!" She watched in horror as Terra jumped and just barely grabbed onto the gutter and began her decent. She looked over the edge, just in time to see a glimpse of white disappearing into the shadows below.

Ding-Dong

"Dammit!" Jack murmured as he reached for the remote. He had a pile of used tissues lying on his lap. He quickly whipped the tears from his eyes and threw the tissues into the garbage.

Ding-Dong

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" He yelled.

He opened the door to the raged sight of a young girl in a thin white dress and long blonde hair. Mud caked her feet and she shivered standing under the porch light.

"Uh… hi…" Jack eyed her curiously.

"I need my backpack. Now!" She slipped under his arm, which was leaning against the doorway.

"Sure you can come in, thanks for asking." Jack said sarcastically as he stared out into the street. Turning around on his heels, he saw the white paper dress vanish as Terra entered his family room.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be like at the hospital or something?" He ran in fingers through his short spiked hair and followed her.

Jack came in to see her ripping through her backpack and pulling out a silvery sphere. A glazed look formed on her eyes, as she gazed adoringly at the object in her hands. Her hands moved fast and sharp over it, pressing buttons and spinning layers until each one locked into place. It seemed so familiar in Terra's hands and she welcomed its cool touch on her fingertips. Jack just stood in the doorway and stared at the girl working. She held it out in front of her, her eyes flashed purple. The house began the shake under them, books fell off their shelves and pictures off the walls. Jack grabbed onto the cabinet door. The lights of the chandelier popped overhead, illuminating Jack's face before everything turned dark.
