Title: Why?
Jornal number one:
I am in a weight room with two pictures: a space cat and the other a dog. I also have a small bookshelf with around ten books, only four of them are good ones. I don't know why I am here, but at least I get food and water. I have been here for ten years and can only hear some people but I think I am alone. I think my room is about twenty feet long and ten feet high. I don't know when I will get out of here, or even if I will. All I remember is going to high school and some policemen picked me up. I Also remember my friend. She was my only friend, my best friend all through elementary and middle school. She was so smart she just left before I got here . . . I wish I could see her again. She had long brown hair, green eyes, pink dress, black shoes and she goes by the name of Star. I also have a bed and bathroom. If somebody finds this; here is what I look like: I am 26 years old, I have short black hair, Light tan skin, blue eyes, a red shirt and black pants. I have one question: why am I here?
When Dan put the jornal under his nice fluffy pillow, a loudspeaker went on.
'Hello Dan, this is Dr. Cody. You might have noticed that you are in a lab, we have been watching you. I know that sounds weird but it is all good, now I am going to open your door. Please don't try to run.'
When the door opened Dan looked out and what he saw was not what he was expecting. A long corridor with white walls and ceiling and a red stripe on the wall. There were a couple of different doors, Dan went out and walked for a bit, then the speaker went on.
" You may notice that there are other doors but there is nothing inside. Can you please follow the signs down to the main area? Thank you."
So Dan saw the signs and went down to the main area. It is a big open area with a small desk in the middle and there are many different ways to go. As Dan stood there the speaker went on.
"Now will you go to your left and head down to the office that has the name Dr. Cody on the door. There is something I want to talk to you about."
After the speaker tearnd off Dan went to his left and began walking in the hallway. As Dan walked down the hallway he noticed that there were more offices than he thought. But he had one question in mind: why is he here? Then Dan saw it at the end of the hallway there was the biggest office Dan has ever seen, on the door it said; Dr. Cody's office. Dan knocked on the door and a muffled voice said "come in, come in."
Dan opened the door and into a white room with bookshelves and some lab equipment on a table on the back wall and light blue carpet, in the middle of the room a white desk with a big computer, with two chairs in front and a man sitting in an office chair with a grin on his face. He looked like he was about 5 ft tall, he has brown hair, blue eyes, he is wearing a long white lab coat that goes down to his knees. Dr. Cody has a light blue shirt on and khaki pants.
He must like light blue, Dan thought. "Hello Dan lets begin with getting to know each other please have a seat." His voice sounded different to Dan.
"I can tell that you have questions, please ask. I will try to answer my best." Said Dr. Cody in a british accent.
" I only have two, one why am I here? Two, what am I doing here?" Said Dan.
"Well those are really easy questions to answer. So here are your answers. Let's start with the second one. You are a time traveler. Your goal is to travel through time and search and destroy a dangerous virus, we do not know where it came from. All we know is that it came and comes from space. This virus is called Black Gou because it is a slime-like substance that is black, but this one is very dangerous. If you touch it, it can give you nightmares and day-ja-voo but it is so intence that it can make you kill your self. Now there is also another virus that is also dangerous. It is the zombie virus you should know what that can do to you." Said Dr. Cody, Dan nodded his head.
"Now for the first one you are at one of the only places left in the world, a lab named TTL standing for Time Traveling Lab, I know it's not the best but it is pretty self explanatory." Dr. Cody said
"Ok well then what is my first time that I will be traveling to?" Said Dan wondering if Star is okay.
"Hold your horses there's more you are not the only one who went traveling 6 others went as well, none came back. So where we are sending you is the Jurassic period and we lost someone that goes by the name Star, she….." Dan cut him of
"STAR, I know her she's my only friend and you lost her!" Dan was ferrous.
"Calm down, let me finish talking." Dan calmed down. "Thank you, now we know this, '' she told us. That is why you are going to find her."
"Ok, how will I find her?" Dan asked "Tomorrow you will find out, it is getting late and we need to prepare so please go back to your room."
Dan went back to his room and he had new questions in his mind: Why did Star do this?, What does mean prepare and for what? Dan was in his room now and falling asleep.
Chapter two
Jurassic Period
Name: Dan
Date: 2/3/2021
Title: Time Traveling
Jornal number two
I woke up today to the sounds of gunshots. I don't know what is going on outside. It is time to go find Star. Can't believe that this is where she went. Well better go out and see what is going on. Oh almost forgot I am going to the Jurassic period today, I used to like dinosaurs.
Dan's door opened again except as he looked around he saw doors open and some kind of shield to the right of him. Dan rushed out the door and ran as fast as he could, to Dr. Cody's office. Dan came running in and Cody was not there. All Dan saw was a note on a notebook that said:
To Dan, I am sorry that I am not there right now. I can explain in detail later but this is what you need to know, they have gotten in and we are using force shields to fend them off. Do not touch them! Run as fast as you can to the Time Traveling Room in area 2 first room you come by. Hurry up, they're coming …..Help!
Dan looked up from the note and was looking for blood, nothing. Dan turned around and ran like he was a cheetah. Finally he got to the room and went in. There was a person. The person ran up to Dan and said.
"Hi, my name is Joe. We don't have time for training so just go into the teleporter and be on your way. Oh wait before you do that, pick up the watch and a weapon."
Dan picked up the watch which seemed to be a little odd and grabbed the assault rifle and some amo. Then turning on the watch and walking into the portal. He spun for a bit and remembered that he did not get time to look around. Soon enough he was in a big jungle. Green all around and he heard a noise coming from the bushes. It was like some sort of hissing. The watch spoke to him "Run Dan run get out of there you are being hunted!" He turned around and ran as fast as he could until he lost the hunters.
Dan looked at his watch and said "Hello" to it, the watch said back "You are welcome." "Thank you?" said Dan. "Allow me to introduce myself, hi my name is Jarvis I am your high tech watch that can tell you what is good and bad." Said Jarvis. "Ok, so what was going to attack me?" Asked Dan. "Velociraptor, dangerous, pack hunters, in the Jurassic period." "Are you always going to yell at me to run?" " No, only when you could die." "Okay now what?" "Well now we look for black gou and Star." "Okay, how are we supposed to do that?" "Well, look at your map." "My map?" "The map on the top right of the screen." "Oh, there is a map. Cool." "If I was not a computer I would be slapping my face in disappointment."
Dan looked at the map and saw a red dot about three miles away. "What is this dot that is three miles away?" He asked Jarvis, Jarvis replied. "That is the last known location of Star. She might not be there, if she can fix the Jarvis that she has we can track her." "Are all of these watches named Jarvis?" "Yes, that is the name of the software."
Dan started to walk to the dot. Dan thought, Where is Star? Where did she go? I hope she can fix the watch. Jarvis yelled. "Stop walking!" Dan stopped, looked down and saw a long sudden drop right into a spike pit with a couple of raptors split in half. "Thank you for stopping me." "You're welcome." "Well now how are we going to get down." "I am not going to tell you how to survive. I am only for the map and keeping you from dying." "Okay I will think of something." Two hours go by and Dan has passed out on the nice soft green grass. About twenty six minutes later Jarvis wakes Dan up. "Dan!" Dan sits up fast, startled. "What is Jarvis." said Dan in a sleepy soft voice. "Look at your map, about three minutes ago the red dot that was straight ahead, now it is moving and it is going the other way behind us." Dan got up and headed the other way. The dot was getting closer and closer then when Dan looked down at the watch, he fell. Tumbling, rolling, falling, hitting trees, getting cuts from rocks then finally rolling to a stop. "Ouch that really hurt, Javis, why did you not tell me there was a drop!" "Because there was a 99.9% chance that you would survive." "You could have still said something and I would not have cuts and bruises everywhere." "In case you didn't hear me I said keep you from dying not getting boo boos." " Fine, but next time can you say something please." "Yes. Yes I can." "Thank you."
Five hours passed when Star's watch spoke to her. "Star, your map has two red dots now." "What, how?" Star looked at her map. Jarvis was correct there was one in front and one in back. "Can you scan the one that is behind me." "Yes, if you could just face in the diereiton." Star stopped walking and turned around. "Hmmmm…. How could this be?" "What, What?" "The dot is another Jarivs and a person." "Who?" "We are not close enough." "Ok so what do we do?" " I think that we should go to the hill we were at and stay there, to tell us we are close enough to scan."
"Okay."
As Dan walked closer to the red dot, it seemed to stop moving and sitting still. " Jarvis, Why is it sitting still?" "I don't know but If you want me to I can scan it for you." "You can scan?" "Yep." " All this time we could have scanned to see what it is and you did not tell me." "Did you read the manual?" "No, because I was rushed out." "Oh then just stand still." Dan stood still. "It is another Jarvis on a girl's wrist." "That be Star!" "Before you start running, just think she might have a gun so if you run she will shoot." "Okay so no running." "Yes, also when I say stop, stop okay." "Why?" "So her Jarvis can scan us so she knows that it is us." "Okay." When Dan was walking through the forest he saw a pachycephalosaurus, having a flashback from his past; When he was three he went to his first musume and wanted to go see dinosaurs. His favorite one was the pachycephalosaurus. He ran up to it and gave it a hug. His mom and dad were pulling him away so the bones would not fall.
"Stop!"
Dan stopped. He was trying so hard not to run and give the pachycephalosaurus a hug.
"Now her watch can scan us."
"Star, I can scan now."
"Ok, do it," said Star…...
"Star, I am done scanning. I can't believe who it is!"
"So who is it?"
"It's Dan, the guy you keep telling me about."
"DAN!..."
"SHHH! You'll get us killed, remember that thing is after us."
"Oh , sorry."
"Dan, did you hear someone yell your name?"
"Yes, that was Star's voice." Said Dan with excitement.
Dan started running as fast as he could. Leaving the pachycephalosaurus behind.
"STOP!, There is something else." Dan stopped almost face planting it to a pile of poop.
"Thanks for stopping me. I would have fallen into poop." Dan said huffing.
"You're welcome? That is not why I said stop."
"Oh ok, well then why did you tell me to stop?"
"There is something coming right for you, Star."
"What is it?" Said Dan in a concerning tone.
"I don't know but it is big."
