The Guardians: Revealed

Chapter 1

Alex's P.O.V

I sit on the cold and slightly damp stone bench alone, only hours ago everything seemed perfect like we could take on the world, but life has a way of pulling the rug out from under your feet. I sigh exhausted from stress wondering where Drake is, wondering where Luna and Josh are too not knowing exactly where I am or if we're getting out of this alive. My mind begins to wander as the guards talk to each other about when their shift is over and why they have to guard a human, witch and fairy. Another sigh leaves my lips as I mutter "how did this all start?"

Then a memory is running through mind before I could even stop it, Luna screaming into the phone that a giant fire breathing dragon was chasing her. Me thinking it was all in her head while hanging up on her to go find her and scrambling to get my car keys, then finding her in the woods terrified with an actual dragon, a yellow dragon with black markings on its back. But soon recall that's not when it actually started it started two days before the party Luna went to, the day before a P.D Day. When Drake the mysterious bad boy started school, I never knew that he would change not just my life but my friend Luna's and surprisingly Josh our school's quarterback's life also.

It all started like any normal day I got ready for school and headed to my best friend's house which is the public library, her parents actually own it. I walked up to the red bricked building that looked like it was there since the Victorian era with all the ivy growing on it. I walk up the stairs and knocked on the door that leads directly to the apartment above she answered in a simple black dress that came to her knees with a purple shawl and black ankle boots, her black hair brushed over one shoulder and makeup done dark but not to dark finally she had a book bag slung over her shoulder. The whole look is the opposite of mine, red hoody, black joggers, and white sneakers, with little to no makeup on.

We walk to the school that's 10 minutes from Luna's. We headed to class by weaving to through the hoard of students when I suddenly slammed directly into the new guy's gray shirt and worn black leather jacketed wrapped chest. I fall backwards on my butt next thing I know I'm at eye level with his black boots and dark blue jeans.

He didn't even say sorry he just said, "watch where you're going" and started down the hall again.

I was too shocked to speak as I watched him leave but Luna did, she spoke up with her hands on her hips "you could at least say sorry" he stopped, turned around then looked down at me and without a word we locked eyes, it was my brown ones locked with his almost golden yellow ones. As we stare at each other for some reason I noticed strands of his black hair in front of those unique eyes but that's soon forgotten when I suddenly get an odd wave of familiarity. But I know for a fact I've never seen this guy before today. Then he suddenly broke eye contact and stalked off with his hands in his jacket pockets muttering.

"What's his problem?" I asked slightly weirded out while I watched him leave, seeing the other students giving him a wide berth.

Luna said shrugging "who knows" helping me up, I nodded, and we continued our walk to science class.

That's when I first felt an irritation on my stomach, I just thought that it was the zipper from my hoody against my body. I adjusted my shirt under my hoody and it went away, we walk into class and took our seats after the bell the teacher says "we are going to do a bit of review before the midterm exam please open your books to page 193. Read from there to page 206 this is what will be on the Exam any questions just ask." We did as we were told and opened our books. About 10 minutes through class I hear commotion out in the hall I look out the windows that separates the class from the hallway. I see that it's the boy's gym class mostly consisting of the football team but some other boys as well like the jerk who I ran into. As he walked by, we locked eyes again it wasn't until I heard my pen fall did, I snap out of my trance.
