I was sitting in my house on day, and I thought, What if you could go into all of the books in the world that an author writes? That idea sprang into this book that you are looking at through your electronic device. Here is the summary:
Davis is bewildered. Why is he in chains? Why do the nurses look like book characters? When he gets rescued my a strange girl who says that he is a guardian of books, and that he needs to go to an academy that teaches him how to guard evil book characters from escaping books? This doesn't make sense to him, but when he and his friends find out at the Academy that an enemy has been plotting revenge, things don't turn out so good...
John is worried. Why is Professor Nine acting so strange around his students? And why does every time he tries to ask, Nine won't tell him. But when he gets sucked into a strange portal and learns that his whole life is a book, him, Davis, and other 'guardians' go out on a quest to save a stolen valuable object, they learn that there are many secrets in the unknown world of a book...
As a mix of Loren Legacies, fairy tales, classics, The Heroes of Olympus, and many other books, this first installment of The Academy series. I hope you enjoy it! Please R&R!
Chapter One
Davis
When he woke up, Davis couldn't remember where he was, who he was, and why he had a sudden throbbing pain in his left leg. He tried to lift it, but didn't budge. Then he noticed that his arms were in chains, so then a new question came up. It was the most confusing scenario in his life (he was pretty sure he was right, even though he didn't remember anything.)
"Ah. He is awake."
He whipped around to find a doctor in a lab coat. "Why am I here?" Davis asked. "And who am I? Why is my leg throbbing?"
"It worked." The doctor said. "It worked. It worked!" Then she pulled out a walkie-talkie (he wasn't actually sure that it was a walkie-talkie, mainly because he wasn't sure of anything at the moment.) "Code Green. We have successfully made Davis Grimkey forgot who he is, where he came from, and, the best part, what he is.
What he was? What was he? And why was he in chains? He had the feeling that he wasn't in a hospital…
"Excellent." said the crackled voice at the other walkie-talkie. "Bring him in for testing. Then, well, the painful part."
The painful part? Did that mean torture? Did that mean surgery? Or did that mean… No. It was impossible. What would anyone want to kill him?
Suddenly his vision got clearer, and when he looked at the doctor, he silently gasped. She was familiar, like something he'd seen in a… book? None it made sense at all.
Then a rushing pain came through him. He closed his eyes, and remembered what had happened the day before he was knocked out. It was his birthday, and he was turning fifteen. He remembered that day, he finally expressed his confession of love with a girl in his homeroom. Was it Linda? Or Laura? He still didn't remember that part. Then, all of a sudden, he turned a corner and felt a sharp pain in his back. He guessed that they, whoever they was, shot a tranquilizer dart at him and now he was here, in chains, with a broken left leg, and someone who he had thought he'd seen from a book say that he was about to die.
It was all too weird to think about. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

When he woke up, he found himself strapped to a chair in a colorless room. He blinked "Where am I?"
"Alright. Kid, listen up." A blond man walked into the room. "I know that you don't know anything about yourself, what you are, and where you came from. Just don't ask all the wrong questions all the time and you will be treated fairly. Now, let me ask you this simple question and if you answer you are free, okay? So, where is the bronze key?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Where is the bronze key?! I know you know this answer somewhere in your head of yours. Unfortunately, I can't use the force to go inside your brain and dig out the answer, because this isn't Star Wars." He went back to his walkie-talkie. "Next up, can he bring Star Wars to the Legion? That would help, with the force thing." Then he turned back to Davis. "But I still know you know it. Here's the deal; if you tell me where the bronze key is, then I will give you your memory back. So tell me!"
Suddenly Davis's memory came back more. But this was the part about the bronze key. He remembered that it was in the temple of mystical. He still didn't know what all of that meant either. So he just answered, now lying, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"I'll ask this one more time; WHERE IS THE BRONZE KEY!?"
"I said, I don't know."
"Alright then." He flicked on his walkie-talkie. "Sir? This one won't admit it. Yes? Okay. You're right. He is no use to us. Let's send him to his death."
