Chapter 1

Eliza

"Eliza Evans! I would prefer I you didn't fall asleep in my English classes!" I could hear Ms Farmer yelling at me. I groaned. Not again! That was the third time this week. The whole class fell into a fit of laughter. I felt dribble still falling from my mouth.

"Sorry Miss, it won't happen again." I said quickly, collecting all the saliva.

"That's what you've said the last two times!" She looked exasperated. "I hope that your friends will be able to remind you to stay awake." She glared around at the class. I choked back a laugh. Ms Farmer was so hard to take serious, with her small glasses that always fell off and her tiny stature. I looked around and kept trying to focus, and epically failing.

I walked out of the class, and was immediately joined by my large group of friends. I smiled at their arrival. I don't know what I could have done without them. I was a late comer Mackays High School, always moving around for my dads work, but like every other school, it was easy to fit in.

"So are we sitting with the boys again?" Asked Sylvia. Sylvia and I had been best friends instantly. She had always defended me and helped me out. I understood how the boys liked her with her straight black hair, and her glasses which made her look cute.

I strolled over to a small lunch table in the centre of the cafeteria, waving at a few people as I went. We were soon joined by the 'cool guys', who were actually retards that slept in girls beds every second night.

"Hey Eliza, we're going out to the beach tonight. Want to come?" Said Ben. Ben had been asking me these questions ever since I stepped onto Mackay soil. I knew that I had been pretty rough on him lately so I nodded towards him.

"Yeah, I'll come. Where is it at?" I tilted my head a bit. I seemed to do that every time I asked someone a question and left them in an awkward position. Mwahahaha, I felt so evil. He

"Um... South beach, at 6pm"

"I guess I will see you there" I said. By that time I had finished my small, low calorie yogurt and the bell had rung. I trotted off to my next class leaving everyone else to pack up their stuff. I headed to science where our new science teacher waited.

"Hello Class. My name is Mrs Dowdey, please sit down." She said it in a calm nice way but there was something about her that sent a chill down my back. Throughout the entire science lesson I caught the new teacher glancing at me several times; quite creepy.

As I walked home I noticed the new science teacher staring at me from the other side of the road. Suddenly there was a sudden urgency to getting home. I was about to break into a full out sprint until I felt someone walking beside me.

"Hey El. I thought I told you to wait for me." It was Sylvia. She looked happy to see me. Then she saw the look on my face and followed my gaze. "What are you looking- oh my god! Eliza run!" I looked at Mrs Dowdey.

I started screaming. Mrs Dowdey was transforming, her arms turning into leathery wings and her body turning into a human-sized leather bat. I needed no more encouraging. I bolted, with Sylvia not far behind me.

"Eliza stop!" Sylvia puffed. She threw me a small ballpoint pen. Is she mental?! I couldn't possibly defend myself with a pen! I caught it and...BAM!! It turns into a full size Greek sword. How I knew it was Greek, I'm not sure. It felt great in my hands, as if I had been wielding the very same sword since I was two. I could feel the balance between my body and the sword. I saw Mrs Dowdey right behind me.

"Your going down!" I lunged at the beast and sliced right down its middle. I jumped back as it exploded into a sprinkle of gold dust. Then darkness took over.
