Chapter One: Beginnings
It was a dark, cold night in Kansas. The sky was free of clouds, and the stars sparkled brightly. It was a perfect night for stargazing, but Katie Todd had no time for that. She was on the verge of finding a portal to another world! And it was smack dab in the middle of the U.S.
Well, he was on the verge of finding it, he being John Smith. He had soft brown hair gelled up in a messy, modern way. He had sharp features, a perfect smile, and always wore a blue or striped suite with a long brown trenchcoat. He was very slim and tall. A giant next to Katie. But, the thing that intrigued Katie most about this mysterious man was his eyes. When she looked into his eyes she could tell there something else there; something hiding. Katie could tell there was more to Mr. Smith than just a scientist. He was a scientist, lab and all. He had found evidence of a portal to another world right after he met Katie. They both went off to find it. When Mr. Smith found out about the portal he looked very confused, almost angry.
"How can there be a portal on earth?"
"Well, I don't know!"
"There isn't supposed to be a portal on earth. How can there be a portal on earth? How did it get here? Human's can't build portals yet so, it must have been someone else. Someone put it here for a specific reason. Someone not of this world. They either want humans to use it or They want to use it for themselves to get to another side of the universe or invade! But, what if Earth finds it and decides to go in and invade. Take a look around for themselves. That would start another war and then They would certaintly invade! Katie! They could invade we have to stop them!"
"All right," John had a British accent. "Shouldn't be much farther now." He said squinting through his brown rimmed glasses at the contraption in his hand. It was made out of metal and had various buttons and wires all over it.
"I hope so," Katie replied, "I'd hate to come all this way for nothing."
"No you wouldn't" John sighed. "You enjoyed the adventure. Ah! Here we go. Now the portal could be anything it could be some sort of swirly purple vortex, a secret cave, a big black hole, a bright light..."
Katie and John were in between two giant cliffs that merged together further down closing off the road. Katie walked down to this part of the cliffs and found a door.
"...green gooey puddles even! It could be-"
"How 'bout a door?"
"A door?"
"Yes, a door. A wooden matter of fact door!"
"Let's hope it's not locked." He said thinking about a certain screwdriver. "But, a door, really? I was hoping for something more exciting like a black of or explosian that we would have to jump through. But, a door is just boring. All you do is open it and usually you don't like what's on the other side. Doors are just..." He looked at Katie who, by the look on her face, was tired of hearing him ramble, but there was a tiny smile forming at the corner of her lips.
"Right...portal." John said quickly.
