The Half-blood Chronicles

Chapter 1- An unusual start

Being a half-blood is scary. Nerve-wreaking and scary. Well, i am one, and my name is Deirdre waves. I was going to a boarding school till a few weeks ago, when it all began.

I leaned back in my chair. My teacher, Mr. Escalante glanced at me, he looked like an overgrown baby in my opinion. With absolutely no hair, really overweight and wore these weird things that reminded me of a baby-grow dipped in sewer water, with a baby-blue beanie. How much more childish could he get?. My friend, Maria, bit into the end of her pencil nervously, Her boyfriend, Mitchell, put a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. Eww, affection. The bell rang, signaling lunch. Maria jumped up from her chair happily and started out the door, Mitchell at her heels. When she remembered i existed. I told her to go ahead. She frowned but left me.

As soon as i turned my back to the door, i knew something was wrong. 'Miss waves,' Mr. Escalante drawled, his bald head shining weirdly in the lighting. 'Wassup' I jumped onto my chair. 'Calm down, I'm only warning you-' He began but i cut him of. 'Wait- Hol' up, warn me of what' I asked suspiciously. He sighed. 'It will take too long to explain, therefore, you are unworthy of that knowledge, but to the main point, you need to run- No! Not now!- Tonight, take Miss. Berman and Mr. Craggs with you and run- run as far away as possible' he turned away before i could annoy him with even more questions that need answers.

'Hmm' Maria wondered. I had just finished telling her what had happened. She twirled her curly rich brown hair around her fingers. Her pale blue eyes fixed into a thinking face. Pretty. She was as you could put it, the 'pretty' friend. Me on the other hand, tall, acne covered, blonde with indigo eyes. Cool. 'Mon amour, i got you your favorites' Mitchell sat down beside her. A pang of jealously tugged on my heart. Stupid crush. But i still wasn't sure who i had a crush on. Mitchell or Maria. Probably Mitchell, is it even aloud for a girl to like an other girl? I don't know. I didn't want to find out. 'Thanks, babe' Maria took the tray from him. 'Love you' She smiled. I gritted my teeth. No, i liked men. Right? I decided not to dwell on that. 'Hey, Dre? You listening?' Mitchell questioned, used to me zoning out. 'Uh-yeah, just zoned out' i replied, too quickly. Maria sipped her boba. Her eyes far away. Mitchell attempted to brush back his auburn bangs, but failed miserably. Both his and Marias earrings shone brightly in the fire light. We somehow managed to share a dorm. It did take a while, but this was a special boarding school, so we're fine.

Maria went to bed early. Leaving me and mitch over here to talk. Very awkwardly. Stupid beesh. 'So- Uh- Waddup?' He said awkwardly, shuffling around. 'Uhm- Nothing much...you?' I began to realise maybe i DID have a crush on him- Oop-. 'Uh, yeah, pretty much same'. We sat in awkward silence. 'Yeah, im gonna go to bed- Night' I muttered and basically ran to our room. When i went in, it was silent except for Maria's deep breaths. She occasionally tossed and turned for a short period of time, before going back to laying silently in one spot. I sat on my bed, deep in thought. I decided to look up what had moved in to my brain the past few weeks. Was it possible to romantically like woman?'

We were careful not to make a sound. Owls hooted in the distance, Trees swayed, Moriam prep silent. We stumbled through the woods quietly. Maria asleep, and being carried by Mitchell, Who kept nearly walking into trees. He decided that, even know it looked stupid, he was going to tie his bangs into a ponytail facing upwards. Which made him look like either a five year old me, or a deformed unicorn. Both scared me. 'So, Dre, did you get any sleep?' He asked. Bro, I'm tryna be jealous of you, stop being so nice. 'Not really, you?' I replied politely. He smiled. 'Eh, yeah, same'. We left it at that. A comfortable silence filled the air. We walked in silence for about 10 minutes, when Maria jumped up and dragged us into a bush. 'Wha-' Mitchell began before Maria clamped a hand over his mouth. 'yeah, shut up uni-boy' sniggered someone who totally wasn't me...(psst! It was : 3). An arrow suddenly stabbed a poor tree in front of us. 'Ugh, i can't find them, Varian' A feminine voice groaned. They stepped into view. 'Valerie seriously? We have to protect them, especially Deirdre, Cale did what he could, the rajhas will probably take him hostage' Varian (?) Sighed. Valerie nodded sadly. 'What if they kill him!?' She gasped. Snap! Uh Oh-
Oh! But what do they look like Deirdre?, you ask. Well, uh, well, i don't know, they are wearing these weird dress-thing-ys with hoods up, so yeah, i don't know. Varian whirled around. 'Found them' he shook his head and pulled us out of our very comfortable bush. This allowed me to get a closer look at his features. I nearly fainted. His skin, was green, like sage green. His eyes were a warm brown and he had white freckles across his cheeks and nose. He had well defined cheek bones and his eyebrows were a slightly darker green then his skin. His ears were really, really pointy, like if you poked the tip you'd bleed.
'I'm Varian, thats Valerie-' he gestured to her. 'Kay, so y'all are coming with us to the only safe place for you guys' Valerie grinned. She clapped her hands and a Chariot pulled by black horses road in. Maria nearly fainted. They helped the three of us in and told the horses where to go which freaked me out more then these weirdo ninja elves that had kidnapped us. Maria fell asleep and i decided to copy her. Last thing i heard was Valerie whining about whether or not they should take us to some weirdo called Wolf.
