Hi, my name is T.K and I've been through some crazy stuff in my life. Some of it, I'm sure you won't believe. Unless you were there.
I'll start from the beginning. This is the story...of my life.
It was when I was only 8 years old. I was at summer camp. Having a great time, mind you. I was crawling around in the grass, when something floated in front of my face. I looked up at it. 'Snow!' I thought. 'What on earth? It's summer!' I looked around, to see if anyone else was around. I spotted a girl with long hair and a large pink hat.
"Hey Mimi! What's happening?" I called out, running towards her.
"I don't know T.K!" She said, in her high-pitched voice. More snowflakes fell, then more, and more. Then the wind kicked up, and transformed the summer sunny day into a full-on blizzard.
"Come on, let's get inside!" I yelled. The snow battered our faces as we ran for the brown hut where we were staying. Ahead of us, I saw an older boy with short blue hair and a first aid bag. Joe. He flew inside the hut as if he were being chased by an angry bear, and Mimi and I followed him in. Inside, Joe was sitting down on a bench looking terrified. Also, there was a red-haired boy sitting at a laptop computer with a frustrated look on his face. This guy is Izzy, he's a right computer wiz. The door opened again, and three kids ran in, all older than me.
One was tall, had large spiky brown hair and wore goggles on his forehead, and had a look of excitement on his face. This is Tai. He was panting, and talking to a girl wearing a yellow top, and blue jeans. She had a blue helmet on her head, with chestnut hair poking out from underneath. Her name is Sora.
Then there was Matt. Matt is my half-brother, I hadn't seen him in a long time. My parents split up when we were very young. My father took Matt, and my mother took me. Matt is really cool, he was wearing a green sleeveless t-shirt and he had spiky blonde hair.
We listened to the raging storm outside, warming up indoors. No-one said anything, although Matt and I kept exchanging glances. The windows slowly cleared, and the landscape was covered in snow.
"I guess the canoe races are cancelled," Tai said, and he flung open the door. "So let's have Toboggan races instead!" He laughed and ran outside. I ran out the door, giggling.
"I'm gonna build the biggest snowman!" I ran out into the crunchy snow, and heard Matt's voice.
"Hey T.K, be careful! Slow down!" It was good having Matt around, especially after having Mum as the only family around for all those years. It was nice to be cared about. Sora came outside, shivering. Then Mimi and Joe came out.
"Wow!" Said Mimi. "Why didn't I pack my fluffy pink snow boots?" I got to work on my snowman, began to pile up the snow for the body when I heard gasps from the others. I stood up and looked at the sky. I almost collapsed straight down again.
"Hey, what's your name, Izzy, come on out here, you gotta see this!" Tai yelled at the hut. Izzy rushed out, and looked up at the sky.
There was almost a sort of wave rippling in the sky. It was turquoise coloured, and it looked awesome. Mimi was enchanted. "It's beautiful, magical even!"
Izzy spoke up, sounding curious. "Yeah? What is it?"
"Maybe an aurora?" Suggested Sora.
"You mean aurora borealis, the Northern Lights?" Izzy countered. "That's impossible. You see that in Alaska; we're way too far south.
"Tell that to the snow." Replied Sora.
Joe stammered, "I really think we should get back inside, before we all come down with pneumonia!"
Matt said, "Miss this? The sky is like short-circuiting!" The sky got even weirder; a small green vortex appeared way up high.
"Hey, what's that?" Tai asked. It began to glow.
We all gasped and Mimi uttered a cry, for seven beams of light had shot out of the vortex and were coming in our direction. Then, smoke filled the air, as the first beam of light exploded on the snow in front of Tai's feet. Then the other beams of light followed, impacting in front of each of our feet in turn. The smoke cleared quickly as it ended.
Sora said, "Everyone, are you alright?"
"We're still here." Matt said.
"That was scary." Squeaked Mimi.
Joe looked bewildered. "Wh – what was it?"
Izzy, who was on the snow, crawled forwards to a small crater in front of him. "Meteors?"
Then, light shot up from all of the craters, including the one near me. Then, a small glowing ball of light rose out of each one. Tai gasped, then reached out and grabbed his. We all followed suit. The object felt very light in my hand. I opened my hand to look, and there was a small light blue gadget sitting in my palm. Sora said the obvious question. "What...are these?"
Izzy tried to come up with an answer. "Uhh...my guess is some sort of miniature remote digital afilax."
Joe said, "No instructions?" A huge wave, yes a wave, rose up in front of us.
"Forget the instructions, surf's up!" Cried Tai in alarm. Then it came crashing down. We were swallowing in, spinning. I yelled out for Matt, but my voice could not be heard above the other's screams. I felt my body being tossed and turned, all I could see was blue and green, I lost sight of the others.
"Matt? Matt! MATTTTTTTTTTTTTT!" was the last thing I said before I blacked out.
