I don't own WotW. But I do own Samantha. She's all mine!

Now I've been made clear that I never thoroughly introduced myself or how I got in this mess. Well...

Flashback

The first of the Martian Tripods appeared during my 13th birthday party. I wasn't exactly having a great time as none of my friends came. What a way to spend one of your important ages. I was sitting on a chair alone thinking of how my friends ditched.

I was about to fall asleep when I heard a siren like call. That's when I saw the first crab. It was on a hill, staring down at the trees that it was setting on fire. It then rosed it's sights at us. After a few seconds, it charged full speed at us. What few party guest I had started running in all directions.

I stared for a while, then dived under the table. Before I could do anything else, there was a beam of light that burned everything it touched. I felt intense heat come really close. Apperantly, it torched the top of the party table I was hiding under. In fear, I closed my eyes and waited.

The whole assault lasted only a few minutes. With a loud call, the Martian stormed off in an almost angry manner. I gulped and ran in the opposite direction. I stopped and looked back at the charred mess. Nearly all my party people were burnt on the floor. But my cake made it, as it were hidden in the basement.

My mom thought she had me. Nearly every year I would find my birthbay cake and eat a peice of it a bit early. She spent her time trying to find a hiding spot that I won't get to. That was a fun game of yummy hide and seek.This year she hid it in the basement. She knew very well that I'm afraid to go down there, but this is a situation.

No longer afraid of the dark, I ran into the basement. I have bigger things to worry about. Like how I'm going to survive this.

The basement was a very safe place to be as it turned out. None of the Martians knew I was there. It was when I ran out of cake a week later that I had to leave refuge.

That was my first mistake. I should have checked the outside world before I got out. I could smack myself for not. For as soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a Martian Tripod. I was stunned at it's feet, amazed at the sheer size of it. I never been that close. When a metallic tentacle approached, I snapped out of it.

I tried to run around the Martian, but it didn't happen. The Martian grabbed me and put me in this huge cage. With a triumphant walk, it continued it's journey to what would be the pit.

That's how it started.

Flashback over

"Uh...hello." I mumbled.

I have a bad feeling about this.

The Martians stared with narrowed eyes as I noticed one of the Martians in a Handling Machine was seemingly looking for something in the cylinder. I bit my lip.

I stared at the top of the pit. Maybe I could make a run for it. These Martians obviously have trouble with our gravity and I'll have no problem out running them.

"Don't even think about it human. Even if you managed to escape, you'll have little or no chance of surviving."

I layed in shock. Am I going loony? Was I 'hearing' things ordid these Martians really just talk telepathically to me?

"Did you say something?" I asked. The Martians just stared. Most of the ones in the Handling Machines got out. The one in the crab also got out and skidded down the edge of the pit. He landed so awkwardly that I couldn't help but laugh. I tried holding it in, but was unsuccessful. The Martians look turned angry.

"S-Sorry. I couldn't help it. I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes-er..." I looked at their whip like appendages. "...tentacles."

"We'll let it slide this time human. But just this once."Yup...it was the Martians.

The last one in the handling machine that was looking through the cylinder came over. He got out, holding a tube like thing with multiple sharp needle ends. I stared uneasily at the device. I'm not going to like this.

"What is that?" I asked. The Martian with the thing dragged it's huge bulk closer to me. Feeling slightly alarmed, I stood up on my hands and knees. I think I know what they're going to do with that.

"Stay still human. This won't hurt a bit." the Martian told me. I wasn't buyin it.

"Yeah right. That's what they all say. I'm NOT falling for it."

I tried to scramble out of the pit and away from the Martians. It didn't go as expected. As I ran pass a Martian, he wrapped one of his tentacles around me, stopping my get away.

Oh snap...

Another chapter for you. Be happy, it's already to late for me.
