Chapter 1

I'm not your average kid I'm not even your average living being. That's why I'm gonna tell you the story of the time I was forced to save the world.

It was a casual Friday morning. I got ready for school, got on the bus got to school, all the regular stuff. But something didn't feel right. I didn't pay any mind to it and went to my first period. Somewhere during second period the front office called and said I was being checked out. When I got to the office I didn't see anyone there that I knew so I went to the front desk and asked about it. "The person picking you up is right over there". She said gesturing over in the corner. There I saw someone. I didn't know who they were though. "Come with me". They said in a low voice". Who are you? I asked in a suspicious tone. No answer. Who are you??? I asked getting a little mad. "I'm your uncle mike your parents died in a car accident and I'm here to take you back to where I live". I stood in awe. I couldn't believe this just happened. Some random guy who says he's my uncle shows up and tells me my patents died and I have to go with him like it was nothing. "So I guess I'm just supposed to willingly go with you to your house because my parents died?" "Great you understand then." "I'm not going with you." I said loudly drawing attention from the lady at the desk. ""You don't have a choice kid you have to come with me." "Let me call them to see if your telling the truth then." I said scornfully. "Call them I guarantee you won't like what you hear." He said. As I dialed I got the same feeling I did this morning on the buss but it was a burning feeling now and it was more profound. He looked at me and as I returned the glance his eyes became larger than my burning sensation of hate I felt for him right now. "Get in the car you can call while we drive." Before I could object he pulled me out of the school and shoved me into a small single cab truck with a dent in the hood. When someone finally picked up it wasn't who I thought who would prove me right. As the cop spoke my heart sank and instead of the burning feeling I felt self-pity. "You alright kid?" He asked in a sorry tone. "You were right." I said sadly. "Where are we going?" "To a place you will be with your own bloodline.....your own kind I should say. You will be tested and trailed, you will find your true self...and save the earth itself." He said in a serious tone. "We'll tht makes me feel way better." Getting off that subject I asked him why he forced me in the car so quickly at the school. "You were about to.........cause some trouble."he said uneasily."what do you mean cause some trouble, what was happening to me?" "Kid you will fin out everything you need to know when we get to the campus.....I mean safe place. Just get some sleep before we get there, you will have a lot to do." He corrected himself and knew he let to much slip out. I went to sleep and about the time I woke up we were pulling into a large campus about the size of my home town. It had large cabins and a huge deck over an almost turquoise colored pond. The mansie in the middle of the camp was larger than the city hall back at home,of course this was for the adults. Immediately I saw a guy about my age maybe a few months younger than me walking out of a large cabin I guessed was his. As I hopped out of the tight cab of the small Toyota I saw another person she had light blond hair and the closer I got the bluer her eyes became, I knew that she was from some different bloodline because you could tell there was nothing human about her. And slowly but steadily I felt a love already growing for the girl.

She walked over time and asked my name. After a conversation with her I figured out why my family was being killed off and why I was trying to save the world. Apparently there are four bloodlines Witch are earth, water, air, and the rarest flame. I also learned the reason I was here was because they thought that I was the only human with the flame bloodline left on the planet earth and the only others were my mom and dad which were both killed earlier today. Her name was Sydney Andrews but people called her Sid for short her bloodline was water and I found out the boy walking out of the cabins name was Eric. Eric Hughes to be exact.he was the bloodline of air. We have to start practice tomorrow at 6:30 in the morning way earlier than I wake up. That's where I have to find out what bloodline I am part of. About that time Uncle Mike rushed over in a panic and said that the barrier outside the camp had been breached and we were under attack. I couldn't believe what was happening and then I saw the most hideous creature bust through the trees the first thing it did was charge at me. All I remember was that as soon as it pounced I heard a blood curdling screech and as soon as I opened my eyes I saw the beast running in circles but it was on fire but within seconds it turned into a pile of dust and ash and I blacked out.
