Sarah's Story

The Story

I hope you enjoy...

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Bye, you to mom." I ended the call and looked out the window. Not many other people were sitting in first class. No one sat in the seat beside me. England is only a few hours away, I thought. I leaned back my seat and slept through the rest if the ride. My phone ringing woke me. I looked at it and saw that I had missed 39 text messages from Claire, Bailey, Pip, Hestia, Penny, and Silver. I just ignored them and took out a book. A while later we arrived in England. I got off the plane and saw a chauffeur with a sign that had my name on it.

"Sarah Rogers I presume." The mans English accent was thick.

"That's me." Some more men came and took my bags. They led me to a stretched white hummer limo. My dad knew that this was my favorite type of limos so obviously he pulled a few strings. We arrived at Yorkshire Academy for the Highly Trained. The sun beat down on me as I unloaded my luggage from the trunk. I made sure I had everything. Then I saw that I was missing something.

"Here is your sword." One if the luggage men handed me my sword. I grabbed it with both of my hands and put it in its holster.

"Hello Miss Rogers. We are so thrilled to have you attend our academy." A lady came rushing out of the front doors.

"Happy to be here." Some guys came out to grab my luggage but I shook my head. "I can carry it." I followed the lady inside and up to my room.

"My name is Mrs. Smith. We will take good care of you here." Mrs. Smith left and I looked around my room. I hadn't seen any other kids but they were here somewhere. I carefully set up my glass sword case and put my sword in. I locked the case and put a chain with the key around my neck. I decided to call Silver, she was probably freaking out.

"Sarah Peggy Rogers! I have been trying to call you all morning!" She screamed when she picked up. She went on and on about how I should answer the phone and keep my phone with me at all times.

"Ok, Silver, chill. You should be happy that I at least called." I talked to her for a few minutes and then told her we would talk later. I sat down on my bed and got out my book. The door suddenly opened and a girl on the phone walked in.

"I have to call you back Stacy." She ended her call and came over to me.

"Why did you hang up? I wouldn't have bothered you." I closed my book and sat up.

"Who are you?" She picked up my book and threw it across the room. It came way to close to almost breaking my sword case.

"You better watch or you will have an enemy before you get the chance to call Stacy back. That whole section over there is off limits to everyone. Especially you! You better look out. You got that?" I stood and towered over her. Not to mention the fact that I was much stronger than her. She nodded timidly and walked out. I put on my holster and got my sword. I began to walk around the grounds.

"Take a picture it will last longer!" I yelled at a few kids staring at me from across the court yard. I finally found the training room. I saw the rock climbing wall and walked over.

"You want to try it out? I can get you a harness." A coach walked over to me.

"No harness needed." I said and started climbing.

"You want to leave your sword?" He asked me.

"No thanks." I climbed higher and higher. The wall was as tall as the building itself.

"You're going all the way up?" The coach was getting worried.

"That's the plan." I was about half way up when kids started to filter in. After a few more minutes I reached the top. I turned around so my back was to the wall. Some monkey bars were at the same height a few feet away. I put as much force behind me as I could and jumped over. My hands came in contact with cold metal. The bars got farther and farther apart. Finally I couldn't reach the next bar. I began to swing back and forth. My legs reached far enough to get the next bar. Now I hung upside down. I reached back and grasped the next bar. I continued in this process until I reached the end. I looked to my left and saw a climbing rope. I jumped over to it and made my way down to the ground. I got down and stepped on the floor. I turned and saw everyone's mouth open.
