As we stepped through the other side of the door, we heard a long, loud bang. When we looked around, we found that we were not in the forest anymore. We were not even in Canada for that matter. We somehow were, in what seemed to be, China.

"Guys, I don't think were in Kansas anymore!" Sabrina said sarcastically. We all looked around us. The road we stood on was gravel and there were people in a field tending to plants.

"There's the temple of King Kongha, but it looks new! I studied King Kongha and his temple last year in school. His temple is now a museum in down town Shanghai, and look! There it is now, but it's a lot older looking. If this place is true and not a dream, then we're in down town Shanghai, around the year 973 BC."

"No way! You mean that door really took us back in time?" replied Sabrina, astonished.

"Watch out Beanie!" I yelled as I pushing Sabrina out of the way just as a huge spear came hurdling towards us.

"Shit! That almost killed me. You bastards! Watch what you're doing!" screamed Sabrina, brushing some dirt off her jeans.

"We better be careful, there's a war going on in China right now. Gun powder hasn't been invented yet, so there using weapons like spears, swords and shields. We should find shelter before nightfall. We have to hurry, and remember, stay close to the ground and be careful." I warned, heading toward the forest.

As night fall came, we found a small cave under a hill. We didn't have anything to eat really and we were too exhausted from walking for so long so we barely said anything to each other. I knew what they were thinking, though, for it was the same thing that I was thinking. My mind kept racing about things that I learned in school about the Great War. But mostly I thought about my family, and I began to wonder if they knew we were missing, or out looking for us. It was then that I started to regret coming here because I really didn't know if we could get back. .

"Linda, why did you pick to come here?" Sabrina asked after endless tries of sleep, but still to no avail.

"I don't know. When that creepy voice asked us where we wanted to go, something, or someone told me to say that. It was like I was paralyzed and couldn't think, or something. It was weird. And the scariest part is, I don't know if we can get back."

"What do you mean? I thought you had this all figured out!" Sabrina yelled at me as she propped herself up on her elbow.

"Hey, calm down. Linda's the whiz about this sort of stuff and I'm sure we'll find a way back home." That seemed to calm her down enough for her to lay back down.

"Hey, do you think our parents are looking for us? You know, if we survive this our own parents are gonna kill us when we get back home."

"Who knows, but one thing I know for certain is that it is very late and who knows what is out there right now. We can't do anything right now so we might as well try and get some sleep. In the morning I'll try and fix our clothes a bit so we don't stand out as much but no guarantees. I guess our best bet is try to find someone who knows this Kimis guy and try to get him to talk to us."

"We are so gonna die."

"Shut up Bean Brain!" scorned Joanne as she threw a small rock at Sabrina.

"Hey!"

"Go to sleep!"

When the first lights of morning came through the entrance, I woke up my sleeping friends. After few incoherent mumbles, I finally was able to show them the things I procured in the middle of the night. I each gave them a spear and a shield.

"Where did you get those?" Joanne wondered, as she looked more closely at the weapons.

"Some troops wandered by just outside the cave last night." I remarked with a giggle. "I scared them off with Beanie's CD player."

"Cool. How come I didn't hear anything?"

"I'm surprised the troops even heard it over Sabrina's snoring!"

"Hey! I don't snore!" Sabrina whined. At this we all shared a small giggling fest until we were ready to leave. Fully armed we finally headed back towards the road which leads to the temple entrance.

"Why aren't there any guards?" Sabrina stated, looking around.

"Ahh! Hey get off me you JERK!" Joanne screamed as a guard came up behind her and grabbed her as two other guards came up behind me and Sabrina.

"Does that answer your question?" I replied, ducking just as a guard was about to grab me as well.
