Part 1

I was sitting in the hall in front of my locker, the same as everyday. I'm there early, like 8:00, same as everyday, and my friends, Amanda and Rebecca are with me, chatting, laughing, playing pranks on people with the broken water fountain across the hall, the same as everyday.

But there was something wrong, something not the same as every other ordinary school day. No. We weren't all having a pop quiz! No one was there. In fact, no one was. . . anywhere.

It took about two more seconds for me to realize how wrong I was. The hall was suddenly filled with a bunch of miner-niners (we're all in tenth grade), all of whom were boys, and all of whom none of us had ever seen before.

Then there was one, only two of us, kind of sort of recognized. He had silverish-grey hair, all messy, and magenta-like eyes. Very familiar, I thought. . . but from where?

Amanda nudged me. She recognized this little guy too. Before she could say anything, he stepped before me, (hey gimme a break, I don't know why, my dream I guess) and told me I was going with him. I said, "Excuse me?" Not in the snotty way, but in actual surprise.

Suddenly Amanda clicked. "OH WOW!" She screamed and jumped up in excitement. "You're..... and you're.... and OH WOW!!" She screamed again, looking from, what I now realized to be Dilandau and a few HUNDRED of his trusty Dragon Slayers. Good Grief! Amanda pulled me up by my shirt collar and said insanely, "They can take us to Gaea, Julie! They can take us to Gaea!" She was attempting to dance around with me when I whispered sharply,

"Are you nuts?!?!"

"Don't you want to go to Gaea, Julie?" Amanda asked me, suddenly standing very still.

"Amanda. I would LOVE to go to Gaea, but not, and I mean not, with HIM!" I jerked my thumb towards Dilandau and... Bad move.

He grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back. It must've been some sort of insult or something.

"HEY!! STOP THAT!" Rebecca. She stood up, and firmly placed her hands on her hips, and continued by giving good ol' Dil a lecture. "You can't just KIDNAP someone, especially when she is my friend! And in the SCHOOL? Are you completely insane?"

"Yeah, what's your point?" Amanda said abruptly.

"Anyway," Rebecca continued, "We have things like police here, and MY mom is a lawyer and she'll defend Julie in court and boy, are you going to get it!"

Dilandau, looking slightly confused, looked around at his.... 'men,' and said, " .... court?"

One of the soldiers perked up immediately. He had light brown hair and I knew instantly it was big mouth Gatti. "Yes of course, Sir. It's one of those. . ." But his explanation was cut short by a whap upside the head with Dilandau's free hand and an annoyed "Shut Up!"

Then Dilandau turned to Rebecca. "Shut up, little girl, or I will be forced to hurt you."

Just then Lacey and Justin (ooooohhh) arrive from the caf. "Hey guys, did we miss any.... huh? What the?" Justin said, dropping his cookie. Guimel dives for the cookie and catches it in his teeth. "Yum."

I had no idea what was going to happen next!!!!
