Chapter 4, Norman
Whatever this plant was, it had several moons and that glowed brightly in the night sky. The stars that where so close to the planet, that they looked like moons themselves. If Charlie bothered to look at them she could see the wild colors of them as each of their light shined from one to another.
Charlie had been in there for hours, she began to wonder if General Grievous had forgotten all about her. It had gotten late, she wondered if her friends where looking for her. Maybe, because she disappeared so sudden, they might think she was kidnapped.
She sat in a little cell by herself, with her hands covering her ears and her knees drawn up to her chest. It was a habit she had when she was scared. In this predicament she was very scared. She felt a hunger pain in her stomach.
"Hey" someone called out to her, but she ignored them.
"Hey you" they said again, until finely someone fingers were jabbing into her shoulder blade till she looked up from her kees.
Charlie turned and saw an alien kneeling behind her in another cell with more of his kind. It was holding out a strange looking fruit, that Charlie noticed they were eating.
"We thought you might like this!" It said. Charlie lowered her hands and slowly took the fruit. It was blue with yellow spots all over it and it was and oval shape. Charlie took a bite out of it and found it was very juicy and very good.
She looked back at the alien. "Thanks" she said.
"You are very welcome. Say what are you exactly?" It asked.
"I'm a human" still eating.
"Human! Wow! I never thought I would meet one." It said.
"What Planet is this?"
"Kalerum"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Norman, I'm a Kalenight."
Charlie stared at Norman; he looked like a young human teenager,other than his skin was pale blue color, but his eyes had a red tint to them.
"I'm Charlie" she said.
"How did you end up in here?" he asked.
"Because I ended up on this planet" responded Charlie.
"How did you end up on this planet?" he asked more interested.
"Tell me and I'll tell you!" man he is noisy, she thought.
"Well, what happened?" he asked
"I really don't know. One moment I was with my friends making a video for a class project, next I'm in a factory!" she stated.
"Factory?" he asked.
"Yeah, it's near by at the top of the hill!" using her thumb and pointing in some direction.
"That's not a factory. It's an old temple. Its haunted" he exclaimed.
"Nothing strange happened when I was in it," she said disbelieving
"Well, it used to, when it was being used by the monks" he said.
"Monks? There are monks here?" she asked.
"There were! While they were there they spoke to people who called themselves travelers and where told that they will send their guardians of the worlds to help make peace. But many years have past sense then. Say can you use magic?" he asked.
Charlie gave him a shocking look. "Magic! There is no such thing. And I'm just a child… what can I do… I'm no guardian of the worlds. I can barely pass my gym class. I'm no hero!" she said.
"How do you know you're not?" he said.
"How do you know I am?" Charlie turned her back on Norman, and covered her ears.
"Then how do you explain how you got here?" Asked Norman. Charlie faced him again.
"Seeing is believing," she said.
"Some of the most real things in life are things we can't see!" he said. Charlie gave him a funny look, dude did we just quote something out of the film The Polar Express, she thought. She shook her head then burried her face into her knee's.
Unfortunately General Grievous had not forgotten about the human Child, Charlie. In fact he was watching her at that very moment and had been watching her the entire time. she didn't notice the spider droid that was in her cell recording her.
He spied on their conversion; Guardian of the Worlds, portals, magic? This seemed impossible. But like wise... what if itcould be true,then it could also be a problem.
"I want all the information of these monks and about our Guardian of the worlds." He said the alien beside him.
"Bring me that human," he said to his bodyguard.
I hope you don't think this is too corny. Just wait and see, its going to get real good. Please review.
