Chapter one: The End

The inhabitants of a backwater planet named Earth had all felt the shudder that ran through their quickly disintegrating planet, some had thought it an earthquake. Others had been certain they had just imagined it. But no one had known exactly what had happened; maybe it was for the better.

In one of the back alleys of what the inhabitants had came to call New York City, Two figures had taken flight from the ever present rumbling of the Earth. Julie and her little sister, Lanai, ran from street to street desperately looking for the parents that they would never find. Julie knew she wouldn't find them because this she had been told, but it was all she could have done to keep from falling apart. She could have possibly been the one person on the doomed planet who had known why the Earth was about to crumble beneath her feet. Despite this she couldn't have brought herself to tell her little sister that she would never see her mother or father again - let alone the rest of the human race. No, they were not dead, per say, but past hope and past help.

In the back of one alleyways where the two girls had stopped, there was a small pod-like machine. It had hummed with metallic life and Julie remembered for the rest of her life the over-whelming sense of relief she had felt when she had seen the glow of her families escape-pod. Julie climbed into the little makeshift aircraft that had been constructed to deal with the worst-case scenario. It was big enough to fit four people, and had been another sad reminder of those who would be left behind. Lanai had looked up from the stuffed cat she had clenched in her little arms to look Julie in her pale blue eyes.

"Where's Mommy and Daddy?" She had asked, her eyes full of innocence. Julie couldn't have thought of an answer that wouldn't have been a lie so she had told the child "Hush".

"Where are we going now, Juli?" Lanai had been quite stubborn then and did not like to be told to 'hush'.

"We're going very far away. Now strap in and be quiet so I can figure out how to work this thing."

Julie had glanced at the complicated controls on the console in front of her and to her great surprise she had known what to do. She was no rocket scientist but her father had been and she knew a few things about electronics herself. Finally she had the whole panel figured out, it was just like the airplanes her mother had let her fly, she reasoned, only. less gravity.

A button pushed here and a lever pulled there and they had started their journey through the blood red sky. Only then did Julie have time to think about all the things that had happened in that last fateful twenty-four hours. She could have felt the tears running down her face if she would have let them leave her eyes. She had survived that long without breaking down and for Lanai's sake she wasn't going to start then. A bright orange glow from the explosion that had destroyed the Earth flared behind them as they shot through the empty sky. Julie had turned her head just in time to watch her home being eaten by a giant fireball. This time she didn't dare stop the heavy tears that rolled down her cheeks.

(A/n: This chapter is really short but unlike my other stories this is about all I've written. The cause is probably extreme amounts of writer's block so if anyone has any ideas feel free to tell me! Review so I know what the people want.)

Fun fact: Its not a moose.
