Chapter 2~Eliza

Chapter 2

Eliza

When I woke I was sitting in the back of a ute driven by a man with shaggy hair. I looked over to my side and noticed Sylvia sitting beside me, smiling.

"Where on Earth are we!" I said, not really meaning to yell.

"El, I am going to tell you everything when we get there, but all you need to know right now, is that your life is in danger and I'm here with Chiron to help."

"Chiron?"

"The driver, he is going to help you do most of your training at camp. Chiron, do you want me to show Eliza around when we get there."

"That sounds like a good idea" said a voice which didn't have much volume but clearly showed authority.

The road was bumpy and I was starting to get really worried about where I was being taken. Suddenly we stopped. I sat up and realised I was looking at a hill, just an ordinary hill, nothing to it. Sylvia helped me up and we jumped out of the ute.

"Where's Chiron-oh gods!" I turned and was looking at, what looked like a half horse, half human- a centaur. I was so scared I thought I was about to faint again.

"Sylvia please don't let go of my arm or I may never make it up to the top of the hill" Chiron smiled at me as we plodded up the steep hill.

Finally we reached the top and I couldn't help gaping down in awe. It was massive below. There was a big blue house and a massive set of cabins set in a U shape, each one decorated differently. There was heaps of centaurs and half goat, half men- saytrs. I spotted some other strange creatures as well. But what I noticed most was the amount of kids here that were my age, using swords and bows. I could sense my ADHD going round the bend. I couldn't care what I did, I just did it.

I bolted down the hill at full speed, running over to a group of boys doing sword practice. I pulled out the pen from my pocket, which was somehow still there, turned it into a sword and joined in. The boys weren't very welcoming, except for one, who probably liked the thought of some new competition. We battled like nothing else. Everyone was coming in to watch. I heard Sylvia's familiar voice "Eliza, Eliza". Soon almost everyone was cheering me on. I looked at the boy. He would have been the same age as me, 16, quite handsome and tanned from years of training in the sun. But the thing that drew me in were his eyes, beautiful bright blue. He had this cute, devilish grin on his face; I couldn't help but grin back. Then the grin vanished from his face. I had disarmed him!

"Hey, nice to meet you. My name is Ryder Heades."

"Eliza Evans."

"I guess I'll see you round, Eliza." Just as he was leaving the circle he winked at me. My heart skipped a beat and I felt my cheeks glowing red. Suddenly I was being lifted into the air, with the whole crowd cheering my name. From high up I could see him walking over to his cabin, and then I knew that I he was to be mine.
