The Sled Race by Peter  
  
I was racing towards the finish line. snow was in my face.
 A saucer was about hit me right when, I went through a portal.
Chapter 1 The Letter
   
 I held the letter to my face.”I made it in!” I yelled. Mom and dad 
raced in.” Now before we get ahead of our self’s, you are already an A+ 
student and ready to go to college. You don’t need to do this. You also 
are in the military, you-”
   
 I cut him” Don’t say that. could you imagine what could happen if 
somebody found out. The U.S computer system could shut down. The planes 
thrown off course and boats too.” 
   
 “Listen honey.”My mom always uses that voice when I’m mad,” you’re far 
to caught up with the military business. Remember the foot, remember 
last time you entered a competition and you got attacked by the 
Skandians-
    I know but mom ever since I got the super suit I’ll be safe, plus Erik,Aidan,Danny, and Jacob will be there to protect me.” 
   
 “ Okay sweety but we’ll have to visit your court master to get your 
sled protected and tricked out.” I always thought I would be okay at at 
competitions but something always happened. I’m only ten. the people I 
said who are protecting me are always there and we met at training 
school. I got first posted at New City with Erik,but other people showed
 up so I got transfered to Glenridge. Then a year after that Erik got 
transfered to Glenridge. At Glenridge I’m acting as a normal kid. Soon I 
will be transferred to a different school.
        Chapter 2 The Plan
   
 When I arrived at the place I knew it was going to be tough. Men with 
cameras were everywhere. A news chopper was hovering in the air and 
there were portals on the slope. this is all a simulation. Before every 
mission I do a small simulation so I know what to expect. The sled was 
bullet proof, the rails were high up so if someone shot it would be no 
big deal. Of course there was a sleep dart attachment. I was expected to
 see a news chopper with a hidden gun also the camera men are armed. I 
was ready with equipment I’m required to have. My supersuit is working. 
There are many risks I’m taking here. 
   
 The trip took 4 hours to get the slope. I slept on our private jet. 
when we arrived I got to the slope and started practice sledding. I also
 met the competition. They were all girls. The first one was a tall 
brunette with blue eyes. Already knew her, her name was Sara Glenn. Very
 tall she was posted at Glenridge but a year younger. Next was Julie 
Ross medium blond and was from Colorado. Next was Clara Stienbond, tall 
blond with a English accent. Next Kim Dillon Medium ginger with short 
hair. That was the competition. I went upstairs and went to bed. I woke 
the first day of the race I won, Kim got eliminated the first round. The
 next round I got a tie with Clara for last so we went on our own race. 
She got eliminated. Even though I fell I got into a portal and won. Next
 Julie got lst, so it was the final two me and Sara. THe news chopper 
came. As the blow horn went I saw the chopper get low. I raced pt it. 
Then the shots came. Hit my sled breaking it. I realized I picked up the
 wrong sled. I was racing for the finish line a saucer about to hit me 
when I went through the portal. I was close to the bottom now the 
chopper still shooting at me when bang I got first place. Then I jumped 
into the chopper and started to beat up the guys and before I jumped off
 I got hit and everything went black.
            Chapter 3 The Injury
   
 I woke up in the hospital. Guards were in front of my door. My stomach 
was so sore. I looked down and almost screamed. There was a line on my 
stomach. Dr. George Thomas came in we were friends.” Well nothing 
serious just a shot in the belly.”
    “In the belly I could have been killed. Think of all the people who got shot int the stomach and died.”
   
 “ You were lucky.” He sat there looking at me. “ You can go home. I 
mean Sara delt with the man who shot you and rushed you to the 
hospital.” 
    “ Thanks I’ll stay here for a while. Do you know what time it is?” I asked. 
    “ It’s time for you to go to bed.” Mom and Dad said.
   
 “ Okay.” I said as I drifted off into sleep I realized I was lucky to 
have people protecting me.  I was lucky to have Sara being there to 
save me.
