Secrets

Chapter 6

There were kids around me of different ages and sizes. "Woah! This is epic!" Jay pushed me aside, then grabbed something that was flying towards me. A girl approached, smirking. "Who's the newbie?" She asked, her eyes shining, though she posed as no threat. "This is Zoe..." Jay replied, staring at the girl. "I'm Ace." She nodded.

The girl had amazing blonde hair, and her eyes were as blue as the sky. "So, I'm guessing Jay found you. He brings most people here, alt-" I interrupted, not hearing what she was going to say next. "Woah! Cool!" I smiled.

Ace growled. "Although half of them come back dead..." Her gaze was cold. "So, come on, what do you want to learn?" She asked, before I could react.

"Huh? Oh... I don't... Really know..." I muttered, rubbing my arm. Ace sighed. "What's your strong point?"
"Strong point?" I repeated, then realised I sounded like an idiot. "Uh, well I'd like to know how to use daggers and swords and stuff...!" I exclaimed, my eyes glowing slightly as a burst of happiness and energy surged through me. "Hmmph. Typical." She said, shrugging.

"What's so bad about that?" I asked.
"Hmm? Oh, nothing. It's just everyone chooses that. That seems to be everyone's strong point these days..."
"What's your strong point then?" I asked, walking towards her this time. Ace grabbed a coal black bow, and shot an arrow. I ducked, and let out a small squeak. The arrow pierced the dummy. There was different areas of the dummy- red areas, orange areas and yellow areas. I realised she'd hit a red area, which was the neck, and I flinched slightly. "That was... Cool?" I muttered, then stood up, brushing dust off of my clothes.
Ace glanced at Jay, and then me. "My god, you need some clearing up..." She muttered, then walked away.
