This chapter is The Beginning of the Other Journey. It has the three characters in the first chapter. Joseph, Eric, Bryce and a character in chapter 3, Jordan. It's starts off after the heat ray. I got them from Jordan that he started to never forget what happened. Since I'm not going to put everything in one chapter, I shall put it on every other chapter. This chapter may be fairly short.

"Look. It's Jordan." Bryce said, gazing out the window. Joseph and Eric looked out the window. They were together because Joseph was hosting a party. He sent e-mails to me, Jordan, and Alan, but the power turned off before we got them. The door bell rang and Eric answered it. It was, of course, Jordan.

"We have to leave!"

"Why?" asked Bryce when he caught to Eric with Joseph.

"The meteor-" he paused for a breath. "This thing came from it and it was like a laser-pointer, but the beam was bigger and stronger."

"Nice description," Joseph joked.

"I'm not kidding!" he shouted. "It was killing everything it hit!" Unfortunatley, Joseph lived closer to the meteor than me. And even worse is that Jordan ran to his house because he lived fight next to the meteor so his came down like the Londan bridge in that song, "Londan bridge is coming down." In all this, his parents were at work during this time. "If you don't believe me, go to the news."

"There is no power,'' Bryce said.

"Point out everything, don't ya!"

"What does that mean?" he asked.

Jordan sighed. "Look out the window toward the meteor." They went upstairs and looked toward the meteor. There was smoke. They saw a bird fly in that direction. It got closer to the meteor. A flash of light hit the bird and it divebombed. The Matians (they don't know what they are really called) had there first B-B-Q!

"Wow! Did you see that?" Eric asked.

"Who didn't?" asked Joseph.

"So if what you said is true," Bryce asked, "what else happened?"

"Well, when the power turned off, I went to see what happened and met up with Jean and Alan."

"What happened to them?" asked Joseph.

"I don't know. I saw a tree land right behind me, but besides that, I just ran."

"I think we should see if they are all right," Bryce suggested.

"My parents won't let us," Joseph said. "I have a question. How come you came here instead of your house?"

"My house burned down. But my parents were at work." They waited for any news of what is happening at the meteor. They got news on Firday by site. It was raining that night when they saw something rise from the meteor. They said it looked like a tripod you put a video camera on but much larger. It started to move one of it's legs which moved so gracefully they wouldn't have thought they were machines if it wasn't for their silver colour. It approached them while it took the heat ray out and fired at a house that burned to the ground. At this they ran down stairs.

"Mom! Dad!" Joseph shouted. They couldn't find his parents. On the refridgerator, there was a note they found that said his parents went grocery shopping. Part of the ceiling fell and Joseph led them into his cellar. He shut the door and listen to everything that was happening. Through the basement door they could see the light the heat ray produced. The lights ended but the noise continued. When the noise stopped, they were to afraid to go out so they stayed in there for the night.

Sorry if I don't update soon. I'm leaving to go to Kansas during spring break.
