I think... without further ado... That it's time for me to tell you my story. For those who wonder, I didn't choose for this to happen, it just did. The weird thing is, when I think about it, somewhere inside of me I knew that day would come, the day when I learned the truth, or at least where my story would begin. Where to begin? First off my name, Rosabelle Dew Hall. When this all began, I was only fourteen years old, I lived with my dad in Washington DC, and went to school at James Matthews Middle School. Anyways, my dad was a doctor, whose favorite pastimes included playing chess and reading, he had spiky black hair, thin lips and brown eyes. As for my mom, I had never met her, my dad said she had to leave us when I was born, I never bothered to ask any questions about her, since I knew my father was still a little picky on the subject. Now that I told you a little about my past life, it's time for you to know where the real story begins...
It was a warm summer's day, almost June. I was walking down the hall when one of my best friends Paulette Taylor ran up next to me. "Wait up!" She yelled all the way across the hall. Paulette was one of those girls you don't want to annoy. She had black hair with tan skin and almond shaped dark brown eyes. She always seemed to be filled with energy, no matter what, and could tell you about 2,000 words a minute. Paulette had a very petit frame, only 5'3 with about 100 pounds. "Hurry up! We're gonna be late for class, and you know how Mrs. Jones is! If we're even a second late she'll probably lock us out of the class!" I said. Mrs. Jones was our physics teacher. She was as big as a bull, with enough fury to make 20 lions crawl back to their caves. So, as you see, she wasn't one to mess with. "Ugh! I hate her so freaking much!" "Yeah well, we need to deal with it, besides there's only one more week of class, and then it's off to high school to meet more cruel teachers..." I said annoyed. I wasn't really looking forward to next year, nor the year after that, nor the one after that. We entered the classroom quickly, just as Mrs. Jones was standing up from her desk chair. "Good morning class." She said coldly, and gave Paulette and me an evil stare. "Someone's in trouble." Whispered my other best friend, Alex Matthews. She had olive skin, with shoulder length jet black hair and big golden brown eyes. Alex got along with about everyone, but she much rather be alone than be with other people. Sometimes I felt as if the only ones I could actually trust were them, Alex and Paulette. Even thought we didn't really have that much in common, we always got along, we understood each other. "Shut up!" I whispered back at her, trying to pay attention to some complicated formula Mrs. Jones had just put on the board. "Miss Hall, would you mind telling me the answer to this problem?" Asked Mrs. Jones, eyeing me coldly. She always did that. She either told either me, or Alex to go to the board, even when we weren't talking. I stood up and walked towards the board, the equation was for finding the momentum of an object. I wrote the answer on the board, and sat backdown. "Hmm... very well miss..." Mrs. Jones began saying, but she was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. All of us turned around to find a guy standing by the door. He had jet black hair that covered his forehead, and greenish blue eyes. He seemed tall, maybe a few inches taller than me. "Um, Is this the physics classroom? I'm the new student, Mason? Mason West." He said, and cleared his throat. Mrs. Jones glared at him, with, if it's even possible, more hate than usual. "Take a seat over there." She said annoyed, and gestured to the seat next to me. The boy sat down quickly and glared at the teacher. "Hi, I'm Rosabelle, don't mind her, she's usually grumpy." I whispered, and offered Mason my hand. He stared at me for a while before shaking it, then he whispered back: "Mason West, nice to meet you..." "This is Alexandra, by the way" I said gesturing toward my best friend who just waved, and that's when I noticed Paulette making hand gestures at me. "Hall, Matthews and you, come with me!" She said pointing at Alex, Mason and me, that's when Paulette stood up and shout: "But, Mrs. Jones! They weren't doing anything!" I was gesturing her to quit it, since I didn't want her to get in trouble too, but arguing with her was pointless once she has her mind set. "You too Miss Taylor! Come with me, NOW!" Shouted Mrs. Jones, and opened the door leading to the hallway. We all left the classroom, with Mrs. Jones close behind. "Finally, I have all of you alone..." She said in a voice as cold as steel. She didn't look like a teacher anymore, she just looked plain evil. "Run..." Whispered Mason to me, his face expressionless. "What?" "I said run!" He said again. Then I felt a small hand tug my shirt, and saw Paulette's face paralyzed with fear, and that's when I saw it. Mrs. Jones had morphed into a hideous looking monster, with gray scaly wings, fangs and vicious red eyes. "My master will be so please to hear I killed you Demigods!" She said, and the hairs in my back stood up. I had no idea what to do, things like this were just not possible. "Run!" Shouted Mason as he took out a sword, that was at least 3 feet long. He charged for the thing but missed. Paulette took my hand, next to Alex's and began running. "Wait! We can't just leave him! we need to go back!" I said to her, when we were halfway down the next corridor. "What? Are you crazy! If we go back that thing will kill us!" Screamed Paulette, with Alexandra still holding on to her. "Well, we can't just leave him!" I said, thinking about what I had just seen. "My science teacher just turned into a flesh eating monster... nothing serious, Right?" I thought to myself. "Rose is right, we need to go back..." Said Alex, and Paulette shrugged. We ran back to se Mason still tying to fight off Mrs. Jones. He turned around to see us standing there. "I thought I told you to run!" "We came to help!" I shouted. I grabbed a History textbook and threw it at the monster, and so did Alex and Paulette. We started picking up everything we found and throwing it at her. Mrs. Jones spread out her gray wings and started flying towards us. We began to run, only to be trapped in the lockers room. "Mmmm three Demigods for lunch!" She said and watered her old, dry lips, showing us her fangs. Paulette, Alex and me stood with our backs pressed to some lockers as the creature approached us. I closed my eyes and started screaming like crazy, when a sickening screech drowned out our screams. I opened my eyes, just in time to see Mrs. Jones horrible body turn to dust, with Mason behind her holding a sword. He had a horrible cut all the way down his cheek. "Are you okay?" Asked Alex trembling, and Mason only nodded. "We need to get out of here..." Just as he said that, the alarm bells started ringing all the way down the corridors and students started flooding the area. "C'mon, this way!" I said and pulled Mason down a corridor into an emergency exit, with Paulette and Alex close behind me. We ran down the stairs, which led to the back part of the school. The back part of the school led to a forest. Normally students weren't allowed to go there, but after what had just happened today, school rules were the least of my problems.
