So, hey everyone, just a quick reminder for people who may be new to this story and my series, I am currently in the process of going through the chapters of "I'm the All Spark?" and re-writing some of the parts that I wrote many years ago that aren't up to my new standard of writing. If the story line and writing style don't seem to match up between some of the chapters for a while, I do apologise. However, the overall story and plot will not be changing, just the way it's written. I hope this doesn't cause too much confusion.

Chapter 4: Unexplained

As per Abbie's request/orders, I spent my entire study hall and lunch break in the library, first drawing up what I could remember of the symbols which I had seen and then attempting to put them through an image processor.

Apart from a few conspiracy websites, I received no positive results. Tapping my chin in annoyance, I typed into the search bar.

Recent unexplained phenomenon's.

That did greet me with a positive result as the most recent world news popped up first on the browser. I clicked on the link curiously.

Global light show baffles scientists;

At approximately 3:25pm US time yesterday Global communities were astonished with a spectacular light show. Eyewitness accounts describe the unprecedented event as the Aurora gone haywire.

The lights appeared in the sky at the same relative time all across the globe, regardless of the time of day. Described as blue in colour the light appeared to have a startling effect on technology, originally jamming mobile signals before, at 3:30pm US time, causing a worldwide black out which lasted for over three minutes. Following this event, the lights allegedly vanished.

Experts around the globe are still trying to piece together the cause of such a strange event. Professor Albert Blanke commented;

"The Aurora itself is not an uncommon event at this time of year; however one of this scale and colour is indeed unusual. Our current hypothesis links it with solar flares and radiation, nothing for the public to be alarmed about."

I frowned deeply to myself as I continued to scroll down the page, bypassing the rest of the article until I came to the pictures. There were ones taken from Tokyo, Egypt, Europe, Australia, America, all showing the same eerie blue light waving across the sky. I hadn't seen any of these lights though, which I found odd.

Clicking my tongue in thought I pulled up a conspiracy sight on the lights and scrolled through the tales of aliens coming to invade us and people attempts to interpret the so called message which was being sent until I came to another picture. It was zoomed in on one of the lights, really zoomed in, so just faintly in the blue background the faintest outline of a symbol could be seen. I squinted at the screen for a long while; before I snatched up the crude copy of the symbols I had drawn and compared them.

My breath caught in my throat as I realised with both shock and horror that the lights that everyone was talking about had probably been what had hit me.

…

Halfway across America in Washington DC, another computer was also zoomed in on an image of the mysterious lights. In front of it, a selection of people, all in sharp suits, were discussing loudly.

'We have no proof that these lights have anything to do with anything other than what experts are saying.'

'I would normally agree with you sir, but you saw the way which the behaved. The black out and the jamming of mobile signals is not normal. You also saw how they behaved at the end of their appearance, they seemed to congregate over one tiny area in the US before disappearing just like that.'

The computer continued to zoom in on the image, until suddenly the lady controlling it cried out, 'sir, look at this!'

At once she was surrounded by others, all craning to look at the screen. On it, slightly blurred and tinged a pale blue was a girl. Everyone frowned.

'I zoomed in on the section directly below where the lights merged and then disappeared. This is what was there,' the woman exclaimed in a thick Australian accent.

'A girl?'

'Yes. Now look at this same place three minutes later,' the image changed.

There was a small ripple of shock through the room as they saw what was depicted on the screen. It was the same girl, but from what they could gather she was suspended a few feet off the ground, surrounded by the blue light.

'And this is the same spot, three minutes after that when the lights vanished,' the image changed again.

The girl was still there, on her knees, her face buried in her hands. But from what could be seen, she looked dramatically different. A hush ran through the room as glances were exchanged and the images were studied in quick succession.

'You think these lights have something to do with her?' someone asked carefully.

'Maybe sir. I think a prudent course of action would be to bring her in for questioning. She might know something,' someone else spoke up.

There was a brief, deliberate pause, before an agreement was reached, 'indeed. Run the girls image through a database, find out who she is. Agent Simmons.'

A gangly man in a suit loped forward, 'sir?'

'I want you to be in charge of bringing this girl in for questioning. Do it discreetly if you can, we don't know for sure she has anything to do with these events.'

A nod was received, just as another man near another computer called out, 'image result is back Sir. Allison Shorecoat, a seventeen year old from South Gate California.'
