I will be hitting everybody with all the chapter I have today. Sorry. I only own Amy, and 12% of Rose and Kweffi. ;) Enjoy chapter 2 from Rose's PoV!
The thing - whatever it was - smashed into the ground, causing earth and clumps of grass to fly everywhere.
I sprang to my feet, brushing dirt out of my hair. I could feel that my summer vacation was about to get a lot more exciting.
"What are you doing, Rose?" hissed Amy from the ground. "Don't go near that thing! It could be dangerous." I rolled my eyes and continued to creep toward it.
When I was a few feet from it, I could see that it was a person - well, at least the shape of a person. I poked it delicately with my foot. Nothing happened.
Smoke was leaking from little cracks in the metal that encased whatever it was. I knelt down to where the head would be on a normal person.
"You are completely insane," said Amy, standing behind me and crossing her arms.
"Oh, hush," I said. My fingers found a slight gap between two parts of his mask, and I pried it open.
"Oh my god," whispered Kweffi. It was a man.
And then the strangest thing happened. A random dude had just fallen from the sky into my backyard, and I… felt like I knew him. I searched his face, trying to place his name, but it wouldn't come.
"Is he dead?" Amy said, suddenly horrified. I put two fingers to his neck.
"Don't worry," I said, "he's just unconscious. We should probably get him to the hospital though. A fall like that has got to do some damage." Kweffi ran into the house to get my mom, leaving Amy and I crouched beside the strange man.
"You know," began Amy slowly, "he kinda looks like you."
"What? No way," I said, though the same thought had been creeping into my mind as well. Amy shrugged.
"Just sayin'."
"My dad abandoned me before I was even born, Amy," I said. "He's not just going to show up in my backyard one day."
"Yeah, you're probably right," she said, but I could tell that she didn't mean it.
