Prologue
I wish I could explain how all of this happened. How I wound up here fighting for my life. But the person I am fighting doesn't want me dead. No, that would be far too easy for me…to die. He wants to create a new world. Just me and him. Sounds sick I know but he had help from the people in our government. You see a long time ago one of the presidents decided that one day we should wipe the slate clean…killing everyone I love and millions more. But I have friends who back me up. Let me tell you my story.
Chapter 1: Meteor Shower
I was a normal girl. I had friends that I went to the mall with and brothers who I liked to torture. But all of that changed the day of the meteor shower. I was just sitting on my couch watching 'Gilmore Girls' when I heard a loud crash. I jumped in surprise and went to the window. What I saw had me terrified. I could not believe what I was seeing. The sky was covered in meteors raining down upon the earth.
I couldn't tear my eyes away. I was terrified, but not for myself. I was terrified for my friends and family. I was home alone and they were all out there in this mess. I decided to do something stupid, but what is the smart thing to do in a situation like this. I went out on the balcony and watched as they fell all around me. None coming close to me. That's when I spotted something odd. One was coming straight for my house. I swear I thought I was a goner… that is when it happened. It turned and landed with the rest of the meteors.
It felt like forever had passed even though it was probably only two minutes. I held my breath, wondering if it was over. I stood there for maybe five minutes before I thought to go check out the meteors. I walked to an open field where several of the meteors landed. When I got close to one it let out this beam of light straight towards me. I was frightened of what might happen. But the light disappeared and the meteor had a screen on it. The screen said "Activating". I don't know what it meant but here was my second stupid decision of that day, or perhaps the smartest decision I ever made. I reached out and touched it. Everything went black.
I hope you enjoyed and look forward to feedback. This is my first story. So if it sucks please tell me nicely. I hope to add a new chapter ASAP. Thank you for reading :)
