Hey guys AuthorSkills back again FINALLY!
And here I am with a grand slam out of the ball park hitter
A NEW CHARACTER (So don't get confused)
Anyways I'm going to get started and shut up
The character comes from the brain of HalflingRunner
(And I may be adding in some more of my own Characters here soon)
Connor Reacher was not having the best year. Sure he started the year off fine all of his classes and months of work sort of just blended together. He was one of the Jocks of course 6'1" brown eyes and a Spanish/Middle Eastern complexion. He was looked upon by many of the women in his school, but most of them the users that just wanted him for his body and his father's money. His father was an architect and was called when someone would find something that was strange and needed looked at and dug out. At the age of 16 near the end of sophomore year he dated a girl that he thought was not one of the users. He was wrong noticing so when she tried to get him to buy her a necklace that was over $800 and when he said that he had no money she told him that the other girls told her that he had a lot of money and that she was lied to and then just said that she would go to another man and walked away. Joke on her and revenge for him he was her ride so he left and she was stuck there to look at the necklace that she couldn't have. After all of this happening came the relief every teen loves and every parent hated summer. He thought that summer would be his relief nothing to do he could just sit down and play his ps3 in peace and not have to worry about homework and the dramas of school, he was wrong. Turns out his father was called over to investigate some recent meteorite impacts that needed to be investigated. Unluckily for Connor his father hated how he just sat there and played games all day in the dark and decided that Connor was going to come with him to investigate the strange meteorites. A week late Connor and his father boarded the research vessel Andromeda accompanied by some of the smartest people in the world to help with finding what the strange meteors were. Apparently one of the scientists also brought his 16 year old daughter that kept looking at him every second and it was sort of freaking her out. After about a day of ship life he was slowly warming up to her turns out her name was Myra and she also would normally play ps3 all summer and hang with friends which was something that Connor would do on his free time during the summer as well. After traveling for a few more days they finally reached the port that they needed to get off at so that they could get to the meteorites and start research on them. After they were off the ship they met with a scientists that was already there and had there ride set up already to get them to the site. Turns out there ride was two vans that they had to stuff full of people and ended up renting a truck to bring up the other supplies. The past few days Connor had gotten closer to Myra since she was really the only one he could talk to since she was his age and wasn't extremely boring to talk to like everyone else on the ship. His father was first to get into the van then he got in, followed by Myra and her father. They crammed as many people as they could into the van so it was extremely cramped so Connor and Myra were pushed extremely close together. Connor could feel his cheeks getting red but he suppressed them and kept them from turning redder than a tomato. Myra on the other hand was not doing as well of a job hiding her blush but you could just pass it on as the heat because it was really hot and there was no air on in the van because it was broken. When the vans reached the sight about an hour later Connor got a glimpse of what they would have to stay in for the next month that they would be there. There was six trailer parked there for living in, the more important people would have to only share with about one were the less important people would have to share with multiples. That is when Myra's father decided that they would just bunk with Connor and his father. Turns out his father has known Myra's for a while and has been on other jobs with him. The trailers had everything that you would need beds two bathrooms a kitchen washer and drier and even television. Connor was glad that they at least had TV so that they would have something to do when the scientists were doing their thing. Connor walked into the room that he would occupy there was four rooms in the trailer so that everyone could have their own space to be in. Each room had a twin bed a dresser and a desk all the rooms looked the same so there was no argument over who got which room except that Connor was smart and had picked the one farthest from the bathroom because he knew that his father always got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and wasn't exactly quiet. Myra got the room across from his and the fathers got the rooms that were down the hall. Connor looked out the window to see that it was getting dark so he decided that he might as well get to bed. He walked out of his room and told everyone goodnight and walked back to his room closed the door and flopped on the bed. It was going to be a long month.
Connor's alarm screamed at him and he slowly started to get out of bed. It had been about four days into the trip and they had already been a lot of hard work out in the heat. Just a day before his father had received word that his cousin was hit by a RPG when his base was attacked. Connor knew that it was Jack and was sad he liked Jack he was a fun guy he used to come over to the house and teach him stuff and once took him out shooting. Connor was a jack shot with a rifle and even once went hunting with Jack and got a nice sized buck and they took him home and ate him. To Connor being the best tasting deer in the world. His father moped around a lot he and his cousin were really close and they always had each other's back even when his fiancé died in that car wreck. Connor still remembered the funeral like it just happened Jack was so sad and would barely talk at all that's when he went and joined the Marines. Connors father told him that his father caught him about to commit suicide and stopped him and convinced him to join the Marines. Jack stood up completely and threw his work clothes on today he was going to go out with Myra and search for any other meteorites that the scientists had not found yet. Connor knew that they would never find anything it was an idea of his fathers and Connor thought that it was just a way to get him and Myra closer which was working because they were getting closer and closer every day. Jack walked across the hall after getting his clothes on and knocked on Myra's door, "You up yet Myra?" Myra's door flung open as he was about to knock again and there stood a fully dressed and ready Myra. The two started off and walked out the door and headed for the surrounding area that they had not searched yet. They were out there for around an hour and about to give in when Connor saw something glowing a few yards away. The two of them looked at each other and then ran towards the small and faint glow. When the two reached the glow they saw in a small crater what looked to be something made of pure crystal. The two were in awe of how perfect it was there wasn't a single blemish on the face of it the crystal was completely clear of everything imperfect even after falling from the sky. Connor reached out to grab it even though it was the size of his head but Myra stopped him, "Shouldn't we get someone who knows what they're doing to deal with this?" Connor started pulling his hand away when it felt like the Crystal was calling to him so he starting reaching again and said, "What could I hurt?" Connors hand made contact with the Crystal and lighting flew in all directions enveloping Connor and Myra and then the world went black.
Hey guys AuthorSkills sorry for the amazing cliffy
I have tried to stay away from them because I hate them to but I just had to if I had tried to put in what I needed to then it would have took longer to get it sent out for your guys to have something else to read so I decided to split it since I haven't updated in a while and it would take me at least another day to get the full one out if I did so I just split it off so I guess that this would be a sneak peak.
Thanks again to HalflingRunner for his ideas for this character to come into play if your have any questions or suggestions just PM me or leave it in the Reviews and I will look them all over and get them answered. Thanks for reading and I will see you again soon in Chapter 8
