In the last chapter, I tried to put my website name, but unfortunatly, it didn't work from what I can see. It's on Just add /wotw9793/ to the end to get there. I hope that worked.On with my story. Sorry if you think it too long to update, I lost my internet for a while.
Joseph made a fire that night to keep warm and kept watch. He saw some people walk past the wrecked building. He picked up a large stick he found inside and thought that he could use it as a weapon in case someone wanted to fight. The others woke up and tried to find sommething to eat. They didn't find anything. "It's about noon," Bryce said. So they packed up their stuff and left.
On the way, they saw a Half-Price Books and saw that a lot of books were still together. They went inside to get some entertainment. "Hey! I found the Harry Potter books!" Bryce yelled.
"So what?" Joseph asked. "Hey! I found Curious George!" he shouted, being funny. Curious Eric and Curious Jordan (ha ha!) explored the ran-down store and found a room filled with movies and and C.D.'s. Bryce then found a book on car repair and how they worked. It looked like a college book. That he kept. Joseph put the Curious George book away and looked for a sertain book. He looked in the W section. He found Wells, H.G. and from there he looked. The Invisible Man, Men from the Moon, The Time Machine, then he found it. He took the book and looked at the cover. War of the Worlds. What better way to learn them than the book that found them first? he asked himself.
Eric and Jordan had the same idea. Eric looked for movies and Jordan looked for cassetts and C.D.'s. They found some but they couldn't watch or listen to them because of no electricity.Everybody met up at the front of the store and placed their things in a sack they found. Then they left.
They walked by a car shop with some cars that looked like they were being repaired. Then Bryce got an idea. "Hey guys!" He interupted Joseph's reading.
"What?" he asked, his head still buried in the book.
"I have an idea!"
"Is it telling me what a 'curate' is? I should have gotten a dictionary while we were there."
"It's not that. How about we fix a car?"
"Wha-?" Joseph looked up from War of the Worlds.
"Yeah! Remember I got that book that shows how a car works. Maybe, we could fix one." The others looked at each other.
"What about the ferry? If we can't fix one, we'll waste the small amount of time we have to get to the ferry," Joseph said.
"We could take the next one."
"But the next one is next month!" Eric exclaimed.
"We could use a good break." They looked back at each other.
"What's the chances some kids like ourselves could fix one, but not even adults can?" asked Jordan. At that moment, A car drove by on the lonely road with a banner that said, ' Get new solenoids.' Jordan looked at Bryce.
"Thats a clue on how to get a car working,'' Bryce said. The others gave a sigh, wanting to get to the ferry quicker, but went to the car repair shop. Bryce got out the book and looked up what a solenoid was on the way in.
"So what is a solenoid?" Joseph asked.Bryce showed him a picture of what one looked like.They split up and searched for one.
"Found one!" yelled Jordan. So they went to a mini-van and tried to replace it. It took a long time, but they finally switched them after pulling, pushing, forcing, ect. then found a lever to lift that unlocked the solenoid. Then Joseph hopped in the car to try to start it. He couldn't. There were no keys. He searched the inside of the car while the others looked around the building. They found them on a desk. They tried to start it again and roared to life then died. " Whoa! That was so close to staying alive!" Joseph yelled from the car.
"Lets try to find out why it didn't." Eric said so they looked at the engine. They tried changing the battery and Eric yelled, "Try again!"
Joseph tried to start it again. He tried to keep it on with out the gas. It stayed on. He then tried it with the gas running and it died. "It needs gas." They found some red barrels filled with gas and poured some in and restarted the car. It stayed on. "YEAH! It works!"
They put the barrels of gas in the back, there were about six, and crawled into the mini-van. Off they went.
By the end of the day, they got three times the ground covered by the time they stopped.They layed back the seats and slowly fell asleep. They were awaken later that night by a lady holding a sleeping kid with different hair, body, and eye color. They were clear that they wern't related. Holding the child in one arm, she pounded on the glass then pointed behind the car. Everyone in the car then noticed all the running people. She kept on pounding on the glass. Joseph opened the glass door and asked her what she was doing. Before she could answer, the child in her arm was obliverated. Joseph jumped back and the lady was hit by the heat ray and turned to a dry corps and fell on beside the child on the ground. Joseph started the car and didn't even bother shutting his door. A person ran in front of the car and got hit by the heat ray. They drove off in the flashes of light trying to dodge he rays. A man clinged to the open door hoping to be safe with the car but a heat ray hit the door and sent it and the man flying in the air then another ray hit the man in midair. The car started to slow down and the others urged him to go faster. "Did we run out of gas!" asked Bryce.
"No. The tank is full!" Eric shouted over the screaming people.
"It's Joseph!" Jordan yelled. They looked at him and saw that a large piece of glass from the door it him in the head and he was knocked out and bleeding really bad.
Bryce hoped in the front and pushed Joseph carefully in the back and put the petal to the metal. They didn't expect to go very fast so they were shocked at first but kept going. He turned the car to the left but found a dead end.They saw the tripods legs in mirrors and jumped out and ran into a door in the side of a building. They heard loud crashes and the car slamed through the building. They didn't see anything until the next morning.
The next chapter is about the most important character. I bet you can guess who. Oh, and just forget my website. It never seems to get on. Just review and I'll try to reply it to you if you ask.
