The Lost Continent
Umm... yeah.... here is the first draft of my prologue.... I guess I'll improve it later. (Everything can always be improved)
And as the blue light enveloped the continents of America, it shone with a blinding intensity, erasing all that it fell upon. So it was that North and South America, from New York to Los Angeles, from Buenos Aires to Toronto, from the northernmost iceberg to the southernmost point, from Boston to California and everywhere in between, the continents of the Americas vanished into the blue, leaving behind only ocean and silence and the sparkling azure glow.
The Lost Continent
Prologue: Into The Blue
Mary Ellen Washington stared uncomprehendingly at the tall man sitting at her desk. She closed her eyes and let the day’s actions flood through her head. She’d always known that the apocalypse was going to be a tough day but she’d never thought of any scenario that could be so devastatingly awful. As she glanced up at the calendar the date seemed to burn itself into her eyes. 21st December 2012. Today was her son’s sixteenth birthday. And possibly his last, she thought. The mahogany panelled walls of the Oval Office blurred and shimmered as the first female President of the United States and possibly its last, slumped unconscious to the floor, in a dead faint.
“WAKE UP!” The tall man jabbed the cattle prod into President Washington’s side, as she jerked back into a cognisant state, her back arching and tiny sparks leaping coyly through her hair, from strand to smoking strand.
“Tell me where to find the Entrance” he growled menacingly.
“I don’t know what you mean!”
He prodded her again and she let out a sob choked scream.
“My apologies Mrs. President Ma’am” he sneered sarcastically. “Of course the President of America, the most powerful woman in the world, has no clue where the entrance to your most valuable secret is. It must be some other President Washington I’m thinking of. How silly of me to make such a grievous error.”
He leaned down and slapped her hard on the face, leaving a stinging red mark on her cheek.
“Now tell me where the Entrance is!” he yelled.
“I don’t know what this Entrance place is.”
The tall man snarled and looked down at the twelve bloody corpses littering the cut pile carpet, smearing the white threads of the American eagle a deep crimson, all that remained of the President’s personal bodyguard.
Then he strode across the office to where two people were shackled against the grey stone fireplace. He held a pistol to the older man’s head.
“Where is the location of the Entrance?”
Mary Ellen could only shake her head mutely, as the salty tang of her tears dripped onto her tongue. There was a loud bang and then a fine red miasma splattered against the younger of the two, who vomited onto the floor.
As her husband crumpled, still held in place by the steel manacles, a jagged hole in his face, the tall man stepped aside from Edgar Alan Washington and lovingly caressed the gun before pointing it at her son.
“You’re a hard nut to crack aren’t you Mrs. President?”
Mary’s voice was practically incoherent by this point. “My son, please, don’t kill him!” she begged.
Suddenly a smile broke out across the tall man’s face and he started to hum the words to “I Can’t Decide” by the Scissor Sisters. “I can’t decide whether you should live or die. Oh, you’ll probably go to heaven. Please don’t hang your head and cry” he crooned. The words took on a sickeningly cruel significance.
He picked up a newspaper from the desk and scanned through the headlines. “Sweden Launches First Satellite” glared one. “Mistranslation of Mayan Calendar” blared another.
He read the first article aloud.
“Today marks the launch of the first Swedish satellite- the World Orbital Defence Node or WODEN as it is commonly known. Celebrations are being held in Stockholm at the successful launch of the satellite and the aspirations of Sweden’s spaceflight programme.”
He switched his attention to the second article, hidden away in the back pages.
“Linguists across Central America claim to have discovered a more accurate translation of Tortuguero Monument Six, the Mayan document that claims the world will end on 21st December this year. According to Dr. Carlos Javez (32) the monument doesn’t talk about the end of the world, but the end of our world, he claimed. The implications of this are yet unknown. It could be referring to the Mayan society, remnants of which still survive in the Amazon rainforest or possibly to their cities. We don’t know. But it does mean all the hype and mass hysteria about this day are totally unfounded...”
The tall man dropped the newspaper onto the floor and raised a hand theatrically.
“Well Mrs President Ma’am”, he whispered conspiratorially, “it seems that I have no option. If murdering your husband had no effect on you then I doubt killing your son would make that much difference. Plus I do believe it’s rather more fun keeping him alive” he grinned maliciously, “for me at least.” He pointed towards the ceiling. “As the Mayans predicted, today is the end of our world. Their world. Your world. It is time to activate WODEN. He pressed a small button on a remote which he had taken from his jacket pocket.
“But isn’t WODEN just a satellite?” Mary Ellen asked nonplussed.
The tall man laughed. “Oh no, oh good gracious no. WODEN is your doom, my dear. In moments it will reduce America to nothing more than history.”
High above the surface of the Earth, matt black panels covering WODEN slid back as a large silver crucible emerged from the depths of the satellite. As the AI inside activated for the first time, it looked across the globe’s landmasses, zeroing in on the stream of numbers emanating from a transmitter in Washington D.C. And then the searing blue light was pulsing down towards the Earth, like the glare of an angry god, enveloping the two continents of America.
A warning light flashed red, as WODEN’s sensors detected an oncoming meteor, calculated its trajectory and arrived at the conclusion of a hundred percent chance of collision. Deep within the core of the AI brain, an emergency command flashed insistently as WODEN activated the OPERA protocols. Still emitting the sparkling blue ray, the neutrino emulsions whisked WODEN deep into the past, a deathly star, plummeting back through history.
Help! Weird names?!
Hello, this is my first post!
I don't really want to give away the plot but there is this tribe in my book, so I was wondering if any of you know some really weird names? Please comment, I need help!
Lots of Love,
Natalie!

My Characters...
When I say my characters, I mean MINE. MY characters. Not to sound selfish, but it freaks me out to think that my story ideas are gonna be stolen...and that's happened a few times to me already, SO!
Characters and things to note about them-
March Zoey Donnelly, founder of the D.A., nicknames Mar or later, Mar-Chu. Head of Unit 13 and the Tech Units, basically a Genius mad inventor, and has slightly heightened senses, originally to help her with noticing things around her, but has started to use them for other things concerning detective work...(Based off of moi).
Mirtil Lucifer, mad scientist, creator of the Digile's, artist, and one heck of a chibi demon. Has abnormal strength in her legs, higher agility, and a bit of a temper. Is sometimes overcome my her...ah, bloodlust and sudden urge to hit something. Head of Unit 15, and the Science Units. Also called Mir. (Based off of the real Chibi Demon, Mir).
Thalia Marlo, cargo-jacket wearing...ah, stealth master? She is the head of the Stealth Unit, and of Unit 7, but...I don't really know. Her character is open for change, so Thalia...be prepared for me to look at you quizzically for long lengths of time. (Based off of the real Thalia Jane Circe from real life, last name courtesy to her cat).
Ariah Curse, head of Information, in charge of supplies, and making sure people only know of the D.A. from rumors. Hispanic in descent, she enjoys all mexican food, but she doesn't speak it. Seems nice, but can be completely lazy at times, and in a flash she'll betray you if it concerns something she wants. But she will never, ever betray you for an elf. (Based off of the real Ariah Curse from school).
Lydia DeAname, head of med unit, and is information when Ariah isn't available. Is well on her way to being insane (not to mention she already is a bit), but she's the best friend you could ask for, and can keep any secret. Head of Unit 28 (or was it 27...still can't remember, sorry Lyd), and she always seems to be hungry for the weirdest food (Like fried chicken and dumplings, and jello). (Lydia is based off of the real Lydia DeAname, who I still don't know your chosen last name, so I improvised).
Arthur Diamond, in charge of bomb threats, death threats, any kind of threats, giving out threats himself, and the mutual safety of the public (Mutual because you don't see him locking Mir up, do you?). SAYS he's qualified to carry firearms, but no one quite believes him. (Arthur is an old character of mine, he was based off of someone, but he's been edited, and he's not anymore).
Ratchet September, the boy who I'm still planning. But all the same-MINE.
Dr. J. Dee, is sometimes just known as D, but is the head and creator of the Elfin Army. His goal is to take over the world, if not one step at a time, and he's started with being the headmaster of the school, the school his base of operations. He's ruthless, cunning, and look and acts a bit like an elf himself. (D is based off of the real Dee in real life, who's real name may or may not be Dee...I'm still confused on that. No offense if possible to the real Dee, but we needed a bad guy, and your the original, and you SAID you had a Elfin Army, even if you were first accused as an elf by Ariah).
The Elf Girl. Ah, Elf Girl. Originally a name idiots used to call me on the bus to, I dunno, bully me or something (You could've done better, really), but now the Elf Girl has been turned into a evil bloodthirsty assassin created by D. (And now I can't help but laugh hysterically whenever one of them calls me the Elf Girl. Ah, the irony).
Digile- a cross between the words Digital and People. You figure it out from there.
OK! That's about it for the main characters. But just in case I may use these, there are-
Mei
Joan (Maybe Joan. Maybe You'll get revenge on Mar for kicking you out. Sorry, but you're just not the original).
Cody
Mizuki
Pluto
Virginia Dare
Ah, yes, and the Digiles.
