Chapter 5
Left, right, up, hard left, right, on and on they weaved between the meteors. They could feel the shear size of the bigger ones as they zoomed by. If Kit looked up at the biggest ones, he'd hurt his neck trying to see the top.
But, they couldn't avoid them all. Some of the smaller ones bounced off of their shields and some would leave a tiny dent, which they didn't bother to repair. Every time a zooming pebble or rock hit their shield, they would gasp; it hurt their head to trying to keep the shield up. Kit began to feel light-headed and he was turning a sickly green. Nita's vision was becoming fuzzy and she was shaking uncontrollably. The two wizards were being sucked dry of their energy like the others.
Kit figured that they were traveling at around 100 mph, and had been in the meteor shower for only about 3 minutes, but he couldn't see black space anywhere. He had to quickly move right to avoid a rock about the size of a sports car, but there was another one waiting for him. He pulled a sharp left, but collided with one the size of his school desk. His bubble bounced back with a huge crack in its side. Kit felt his head begin to throb, and he was gasping for breath. He had no energy left to control his bubble, and another meteor was heading for him…
Nita saw Kit just ahead of her. She was impressed with his quick reflexes, but was terrified when she saw him sage to his knees and elbows after a collision with a big one. She quickly got out of the way of a rock and flew up to meet him. She pushed her bubble into his and the two fussed together.
"Kit…Kit, get up," pleaded an exhausted Nita. Their joined bubble zoomed onward. "Kit?" She knelt down to him and found him breathing heavily, his eyes glazed over, and was a pale green color in the face. Nita looked up and commanded the bubble to move up. The bubble moved, but slowly. It was out of harms way of a rock, when another was right in front of them. Oh no, thought a terrified Nita; she had almost no strength left…
