Daughter Of Light- Book 1: PJO

Chapter 2: Mr Miles Rides a Motorbike

I stood blinking at the top of the steps utterly confused. I spun around, waiting for the teachers to freak out or the other kids to be running around screaming but everyone was eating lunch like nothing happened. I turned back to the pile of bullies but the vaporized powder of them was also gone. Disappearing into thin air. Even more confused I looked back around.

I caught sight of the blond beach babe boy from earlier, he was sitting on a bench at the very bottom of the steps. He sat leaning lazily back, his blue eyes fixated on me. I had a weird shiver run down my spine and a hot tingling in my hands. Knowing something was going on I grabbed my backpack and raced down the steps towards this guy.

Now I normally don't chase after boys. Actually scratch that. I never chase after boys. Ever. So me running towards a guy was new. I felt eyes on my back, but I didn't turn around to see who was watching. I skidded to a stop.

"You!"

"Hello Ellie. Long time no see."

"What the heck is going on?"

"That's a loaded question. Lots of things going on today. There's a parade on the other side of town. There's a new movie coming to theatres I'm quite excited about. Brad Pit, ya know. Did you know he was the demi god-"

"Okay enough. I mean you just show up like you appeared out if no where! And then disappeared and then ...I swear you saw what just happened."

"And what happened, my dear ray of sunshine?"

"Dude stop, your like 17. Gross. But you saw me vaporize those girls!"

"Is that what you did?" He asked, his eyes going wide in wonder.

"I don't know what I did! Something weird happened!"

"I'm so glad you think I'm 17! It was the look I was going for! And as far as why I'm here? I like to check in."

"What the heck are you talking about?"

"Check in, you know come see how you an-"

"Eleonora, honey!"

"Dammit!' I cursed, Ms Black called me honey, I know I was in trouble now.

"Advice." The guy said, "stay away from that one. She's evil. And no more Empousa. They don't take lightly to being vaporized. Jackson did that one time I think. Or maybe will in the future. Sometimes I can't keep the present from the fixture.

"What in the actual Tartarus is going on?"
I cried.

"Come in now Honey!"

I turned to the teacher, she had such an evil twisted look on her face, her eyes were so dark they looked black. I stepped back in fear. I felt a warm beam of sun on my back, and it gave me a burst of energy and calm. There was a tingling in my body, and like a whisper in my head.

"Chin up my ray of sunshine."

Ms Black was storming towards me, down the steps.

"Eleanora." I turned my head and saw Mr Miles was limping towards me quickly. "Please come with me, the bus is waiting to take us back."

"But..." I fround. "What about Becky and Vicky and the others?"

"The who?" He asked.

I opened and closed my mouth a few times, and frowned. "Becky...? The girls who have been bullying me since I came to the school?"

"Again, who? I know I'm an old teacher, but we don't have any student named Becky. Or Vicky. Are you feeling all right?"

"What the heck?!" I cried. "please tell me you saw the guy I was just talking to!"
