Chapter 3
Nita and Kit landed on the moon out of breath. The wizards were in a bubble full of air and were standing on the white powdery surface of their usual meeting spot. With their hands on their knees, trying to catch their lost breath, they did not see a huge speeding rock coming toward their bubble. If Kit was concentrating to his surroundings, then he would have heard the meter say, Watch out; I can't stop! No matter, for Nita looked up and saw the rock heading toward them.
"Kit, MOVE!" cried Nita. She then started to shove Kit backwards and out of range of the hurtling rock.
Kit looked up at the thing that was freaking Nita out and his eyes widened again. He obeyed Nita's command by turning around and sprinting away with Nita at his heels. Their bubble followed the teens and was out of range of the meter when it hit the moon (OUCH!) and became imbedded into the rocky surface. They felt the rock impact the surface and the shock sent wild vibrations up their legs and they lost their balance and slid on the white surface. White dust swirled all around; blocking their vision, but none of it entered their bubble.
"We need to get off of here and help out!" said Kit. He stood up and paid no attention to the white dust on his jeans. He then reached right and his arm disappeared. Nita copied her friend (Man, I need to clean this out!) and grabbed her manual. They then began to ask the white dust of the moon to lift them up and allow them to travel in the emptiness of space. Yet again, they were out of breath, but this time, Kits' head started to ache and he began to see double, and Nita began to shake and feel sick. Not good, thought Kit, we need to get up there fast or else we'll pass out before we can do any good! Nita heard this comment of Kits' and agreed.
The wizards mentally commanded their bubble to lift up and out of the dust. Some white dust pushed them up and out of the white cloud. The sight that met their wide and stunned eyes made them gasp in awe and in horror. Oh no, thought Nita. This is bad…
