The Mix

The Gate

After running back to my room. I told my uniforms and place them away neatly leaving out my training uniform. I change into it and rush off excitedly to my first ever class. I approached the metal shed. I noticed no one else is here. What did I expect their new I've lived here...... forever. They'll be lost in this maze of a school. I look around. The sheds surrounded by open field's and quite far away from the school and all its buildings. I dont really understand why I'm at an rusty old tin shed for combat training anyway but whatever.

My class showed up in the next few minutes and once we were all there we were made to stand in a boys and girls line while the huge slide door of the shed creaked and jutted across slowly revealing a scruffy looking middle aged man.

"Hello class I'm Mr Stork I'm the schools gate maintainer."

He began to stride along the lines the stopped in front of me and said

"Does anyone by chance know what a gate is?"

We all stayed quiet except a small snicker from the back of the boys line. Mr Stork strode towards the boy who had laughed and every one turned on there heels to face him. He stopped in front of a fit looking boy with burning bright emerald green eyes and light brown coloured hair falling messy around his face.

"What's so funny?"

"A gates just something you walk through to get into a fenced area."

He said in a way that underminded Mr Stork.

"No it is not. Say....?"

"Jason."

He said in a helpful voice.

"Ah yes Jason is that by chance your sister?"

He points to a girl with the same burning green eyes and tanned white skin. Her light Brown hair tied back tightly into a bun.

"Yes sir that devil is related to me."

"Excellent!"

He reopens the rusty door leaving it wide open and disappears into a door next to the wall cover in axes which is opposite the wall of spears. That's right a wall of freakin of swords and another of bows!! I look around more seeing kunai, daggers, bows, crossbows, a trident and spike ball on a chain wall. Yip. High school sucks alright.

He comes out pushing a trolley with a huge metal circle on top. He slids it onto the floor and clears his throat.

"Step through this gate miss?"

"Mathews. Karenina Mathews."

"Oooo.. a Mathews. I knew your parents. Amazing hunter line. Well what a waste of a Mathews."

Unsure the girl hesitantly steps through and vanished. We all gasp especially her brother.

"Now that poor sole is dead. She stepped though a death gate. She fell straight into barbed wire."

Another lot of gasps escaped my class and a single tear from her brother. Who quickly wipes it away. The boys face changed from smart ass to warriors glare directed at Mr. Before he can prove his warrior glare to be true Mr Stork continues.

"Now one by one you will jump through real gate's after choosing a weapon. Gates are another word for let's say portals. They transport you into a battle arena of my choice where I can monitor you all."

We go inside the shed as he nods his head to the weapon covered walls. Not trained in any weapon I chose a long metal staff with blades on both end hoping it's easy to use. As we were picking Mr had opened a door and was gesturing inside.

As my class mates and I did we saw the gates along the walls with our names above them. I walk to mine. Mr Stork walks to the one next mine and slide Karenina's name out. I prepare to jump as everyone gets set. Thinking back to what he said. Did she really jump through one of these to her death? Am I really gonna jump through one to maybe my death!?! All I can see is the wall of this rusty shed. How do i know.im not just jumping into a wall. Well only one way to.fimd out.

"JUMP!"
