Chapter 1: The Mysterious Object
Jared's P.O.V.
Three Years Later...

Location: Rochester,NY
Today was the last day of school. I was wearing a red T-shirt with a blue-orange shorts on. I was also wearing white sneakers and a hat. I wasn't that excited this year. First of all, I didn't hangout with my friends that much. They weren't exactly my type. They were always talking about football and um... girls, no offense. Second of all, they'll be on vacation for the entire summer. My family and me won't be on vacation because we just "can't afford it." I wish I had friends, great friends. Friends that are like me. It's good thing that my sister, Emily, is here with me for the summer. You see, over the past years, she became nicer to me and she now calls me her "best friend." I kinda liked it.
When the final school bell ranged, every student was running down the halls, to their school buses, even Emily and me. It only took 40 minutes for the bus to reach our house. Our house was up on a hill. Most of the time our mother (sometimes our father) drives us up there. Other times we had to walk up the hill by ourselves, but before we do that, we had to get the mail and the newspaper first.
Today, our parents were at work, so we had to walk up the hill. When we got off the bus, it was 3:00pm. We then headed towards our mailbox. Emily was getting the newspaper and I was getting the mail. (Our newspaper is usually in another box, right next to the mailbox) When I reached my hand into the mailbox, I felt something odd. Something I've never felt before. When I pulled the object out, my eyes were wide open. It looked like a blue, glowing globe.
My sister noticed it and ask, "What is that?" I shrugged. Emily and me didn't know what it was, but I thought it was important. So we took it home.
When we got home, I went towards my computer and turned it on. "You can take a rest. I'll do some research on this thing," I said. My sister nodded and she went upstairs, into her room. I think it's going to be a long day to figure out what is this thing.
Emily's P.O.V.
5 Hours Later...
I was in my room, watching T.V. and drawing figures in my notebook. I was a pretty good artist. I was wearing a yellow dress and short jeans on. I realize it was 8:00pm. I needed to check on my brother, just in case if he found any research on that thing we found earlier today. So, I walk back downstairs. When I was by his computer, he looked exhausted. That glowing thing was right next to him.
I went towards him and ask, "Did you find anything yet?"
He turned towards me and said, "No. It didn't show any information about it"
"That's weird", I said.
"Yah I know", he replied.
"Maybe you should stop today and find any information about that thing tomorrow," I said, pointing at the blue, glowing thing.
"Alright", he replied.
30 minutes later, our parents came back home from work. During dinner, we showed them the blue, glowing globe and told them everything of what happen today.
Then our father said, "Maybe the mailman put it in the wrong mailbox."
"We'll give it to the rightful owner tomorrow," our mother said.
We both nodded.
"So where should we put this thing?" said my brother, holding the glowing globe.
"We'll put it right on top of the refrigerator," said dad.
"Good enough for me," I said.
Jared's P.O.V.
9:30pm
Before I went to bed, I got my journal out of my night table drawer and wrote down everything of what happen today.
June 20, 2013
Today was the last day of school, but it happens every year. So it wasn't important to me today. When I got home, me and my sister found this mysterious object in our mailbox. We didn't know what it was, but to me it was important. I tried to find out what it was on my computer, but nothing really came out. To me, I think it's magical, but I hadn't told anyone yet. I'll find the information or I'll just let my parents bring it to the rightful owner tomorrow.
When I was done writing, I close my journal, put it on my night table, and went to bed.
Normal P.O.V.
12:00am
Everything was quiet. Everyone was asleep. There was nothing but peace and quiet. Then suddenly the blue, glowing globe was rising from the refrigerator top. It was floating in mid-air. It then started to move upstairs into Jared's room.
The floating globe crashed through his door, making everyone to wake up, except Jared. He was a heavy sleeper. Emily and her parents were wondering, where did that noise came from? They all noticed a glowing light coming from Jared's room. When they were right at the doorway, their eyes were wide open. That's when they all saw Jared rising from his bed, moving into a standing stance.
Everyone else was shocked at that moment, until Emily shouted, "Jared! Jared wake up! Wake up, Jared!"
Jared's eyes were starting to open, slowly. "W-wha-aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Jared was horrified.
"Son calm down. Don't move," said his Dad, horrified as well.
Suddenly the floating globe was starting to crack, getting ready to explode. "EVERYBODY GET DOWN!" His Mom yelled. Everybody went down, except Jared. He couldn't move!
Then, right at that moment, the globe exploded. Jared closed his eyes instantly, right before it exploded. The explosion form itself into... a portal! When Jared opens his eyes, he knew what was going to happen to him. He was going to be sucked in! He successfully grabs the edge of his night table, but suddenly, out of nowhere, his journal flies right into his face, losing his grip.
Emily noticed this. So she ran towards him and made just in time, by grabbing his hands, preventing Jared from being sucked in. But the winds were getting stronger, making Emily rising from the floor. She was being sucked in as well!
Their father was noticing this as well; he had to do something quickly. He ran towards them and made it there, just in time to grab his daughter's foot.
"DON'T LET GO DAD!" yelled Emily.
But suddenly their Dad realized that her socks was slipping right off her feet! Her Dad tried to grab her feet again, but it was too late. Jared and Emily were both sucked in.
"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", yelled both their now long lost Father and Mother.
