Race to Witch Mountain: The Last Day of the Two Kingdoms
Chapter 2
Seth's POV
"Shoot. Can't be any weirder than the fact that the two of you are aliens." She grumbled in a half awake voice.
I looked to Sara and she tilted her head. Why did humans have to be so different from us?
"Do you want to explain or do you want me to?" Sara asked.
"No." I said in response. "I'll do it. On our planet, females are classified into generations and each generation has a special group that…" I trailed off, unsure of what to say next.
"The Two Kingdoms, start there." Sara said, guiding me.
"Okay. That special group is a part of the Two Kingdoms and my fiancé was a part of that group. The group in the Two Kingdoms is made up of the most powerful females and you must have a specific DNA sequence in order to become a part of the Two Kingdoms. That's why Sara isn't in it."
"We get it. It's very hard to get into the Two Kingdoms. Exclusive club, A- listers only." Jack Bruno said, quite rudely interrupting me. I glared at him as he looked back to us through the rear view mirror.
"No, Jack Bruno. It is practically a curse to be a part of the Two Kingdoms. Only about a fourth of the twenty ever make it to adulthood. And almost none of them make it to a middle age." My sister said, causing both of us to direct our attention to her.
"Why?" Jack Bruno questioned.
"The society can't handle them. The Two Kingdoms are very unstable and anything can trigger them to change Kingdoms. If any of them change Kingdoms, it usually means that there will be havoc for days, sometimes weeks." I said in unison with my sister.
"Wait a minute." Dr. Friedman said, halting our conversation once more. "Is it a place or city or what?"
"No. It's a…" But before I could go further, a large boom sounded over our heads.
"What is that?" Jack Bruno asked in a shrill voice.
"That would be my fiancé." I said with dread heavy in my voice. This day just kept getting better.
