The Portal

Katniss from Catching Fire

Ender from Ender’s game

Setting: Ender’s Ship

Its been 1 year since the ending of the war with the buggers. There has been no sighting of buggers or any type of threat since then. Ender was now in command of a mighty flagship. All to himself. He misses Valentine often.  Out in the empty void of space can be lonely for a boy his age.  He does have his crewmates but its not the same as his sister. Whenever he gets really lonely, which is  pretty often for ender ,he likes to wander the ship to see all of his crewmates. This sometimes takes him very late into the night. This nightly ritual will leave him very exhausted by the time he gets back to his room.

One night as he was wandering the bowels of the ship. He finished the hallway he was walking down and turn to leave but before he could a strange glimmer of light on the wall caught his eye. As he walked closer to it his gut told him to back away from it. But his brain told him otherwise. Afterall, it was his ship. As he got closer to the light  his gut feeling got stronger but he kept going.Then suddenly the Portal opened  and a strange girl dressed in hunting gear fell out of it…

Katniss left her house early in the morning. The sun was still rising over the horizon. She thought since it was her last day at home she would spend it in the woods. She left the district the same way she always does, through the hole of the fence. She decided not to hunt this day. She would be using the bow a lot more in the next couple days. She made her way through the woods and kept noticing strange things. Trees were knocked over. Animals were killed for no purpose. She got to cave that had a strange feeling about it. She wanted to explore it more but she had to go back and talk to the others about it.

The next day she went back to the cave. The feeling was even stronger this time. As she entered the cave the feeling got stronger as they got deeper. The strange occurrences were even more frequent as she got deeper. She eventually got to the end of the cave. There was a giant hole near the end. It looked manmade so she immediately got curious. She wanted to go down but it looked like she couldn’t go down without gear. She ran back through the cave but it felt like it never ended. She thought she saw the end of the cave so ran as fast as she could towards it. She was surprised that when she got there she was back at the giant hole. She thought she just took a wrong turn but she knew she was right. It seems that the cave didn’t want her to leave. She decided to try and scale it without gear. She got about 2 feet down then she slipped. She thought she was going to die down there in that cave. alone and by herself, but as she fell there was a bright lighter that got brighter as she fell. Then there was a flash.

When she awoke it was dark. She thought she was still down in the cave but as her eyes adjusted she started to see seemed just pipes. Katniss turned to her right to see a small boy looking about the age of 8 staring at her. He seemed just as surprised as she was.

She ask “Where am i?”

The boy couldn’t speak but after a minute he collected himself and said “On my spaceship……”

“ You’re joking……” she said sarcastically

“I’m not…….” he said with the same tone of sarcasm

“This can’t be a spaceship!” she said, raising the tone of her voice

“And why can’t it?” he said in a calm manner

“Because we’re underground!”

“Underground?........ We’re not underground, you must be mistaken.” he said with a hint of confusion

“I’m not mistaken, i’m right! I just fell a good 2 miles down into a cavern! I’m positive we’re underground!” She was now shouting

“*sigh*...... You won’t listen to reason so follow me….”He begins walking down the hall.

“This is so bizarre.” Katniss thought to herself. “First i just fell down a giant hole that felt two miles deep, And i lived. Now i just met a kid who thinks he’s the captain of this spaceship! At least, if it IS an actual spaceship, these could be just some underground tunnels. Well only way to know is to follow him.”

“HEY, WAIT UP!”
