In the small town of Red Oak, Georgia, it was an average school day at Frostbite High. Alexis was in her freshman year, and this was her fourth Monday here. Her older sister, Kelly, was a very tall, very blond, very beautiful senior, and was just about the most popular girl at the school. Alexis wasn't that lucky. She had wavy auburn hair, and her cheeks were scattered with freckles. She wasn't very tall and was a shrimp compared to her fabulous sister. Alexis didn't have very many friends either. Just Erin, who was just as small as Alexis. The two girls were picked on quite a lot.

But this Monday was a Monday that all the freshmen had been waiting for. It was the "Big" test day. Nobody knew what was on the test, but all the teachers told them not to worry.

"Compared to your algebra test next week," Alexis's math teacher said, "This test will be a breeze."

Even Alexis's sister wouldn't tell her what was on the test.

"I can barely remember it anyway." She said, "and I aced it, and, like, you're smarter than me, so, like, yeah."

After lunch that day, all the freshmen were boarded onto, about five, yellow school buses. It was an hour ride until they got to the test area. It looked like a high school with ten small little buildings out in the football field. Everyone got into line in front of one of the buildings, which were about the size of a small walk-in closet. Alexis was at the front of line nine, when three junior girls walked up to her.

"Um, the end of the line is back there." Alexis said, regretting it later.

"Oh, yeah. That's were you should be, loser." The girls started to push Alexis down the line, and the rest of the people joined in. She was spinning around and around with everyone pushing her, until she got to the back of the line. Alexis was so dizzy, she fell right on the ground. Everyone laughed.

"That's what you get for being a loser!" One of the girls shouted, and the laughter just got louder. Soon all the freshies were laughing.

"High school sucks." Alexis sighed, her favorite shirt covered in dirt.

After about an hour of standing on line, Alexis steeped into the building. There was a small desk and a chair. A gray-haired man was sitting on the chair. He was wearing a black suit and a gray tie. In other words, extremely dull. He told Alexis to sit down. He didn't have any pencils or paper; all he did was stare at Alexis. She felt like he was looking into her sole. It was a little weird.

After about five minutes of staring the man in the gray suit took out a cell phone from his pocket and said "We've got one of them."

Alexis was really confused, what did he mean one of them?

"Wha-wha-what's going on?" she asked, "I didn't do anything!"

Suddenly the floor under her desk disappeared and she when falling. The desk disappeared somewhere and she was sent flying through a system of tubes. Up and down, left and right; Alexis was screaming the whole time. Finally the tubes ended and she land on a mat in a hospital room. Large men in white hospital suits grabbed her and started pulling her away.

"AHHHH!" Alexis screamed kicking the air, "I didn't do anything! PUT ME DOWN!"

Of course the hospital men didn't listen. She was taken to a hospital room, with four different beds. Two of them were empty. One had a boy with sandy blond hair and mysterious blue eyes. The other one had a girl with red hair, more freckles than Alexis and really thick glasses. Both of them were chained to the bed. The men put Alexis on a bed and chained her arms with some handcuff like things too.

After they left, she finally stopped screaming realizing how stupid it made her look. Her cheeks flushed red. The boy didn't seem to mind, but the girl with glasses was looking at Alexis like she was a mental case kid or something.

"Uh… Do any of you guys know what the heck is going on?" Alexis asked

"Well, what ever it is," The red head girl said with a nasally voice, "I must be here by mistake. My intellect is clearly superior to you two."

Almost exactly after she said that, two guys in white suits came in and reported that the red headed girl had been here by mistake. They unchained her and took her away.

"Well, that girl was annoying." Alexis said, trying to lighten the mood, "Um, I'm Alexis… and you are?"

"Jake." The boy said. He didn't even look at Alexis when he spoke.

Alexis was going to ask him if he knew anything about where they were, but she stopped. Jake was trying to get his body high enough to reach his pocket. It looked like there was some sort of pen in it. Why would he need a pen?

"So…Um… Jake?" Alexis asked, "Do you-"

Jake Cut her off. "Can't you see I'm trying to do something!" He shouted angrily. Then he finally was able to grab the pen. He sighed "Sorry," He replied, after sliding back down on the bed. "I've been trying to get this sword all day, and that girl kept blabbing... The men kept coming in and… and this is the third time today…"

"Third time of what?" Alexis asked,"And by the way, that's a pen not a sword… right?"

"Wrong." Jake said. He uncapped the "sword" and small dagger popped out. The dagger glowed with a pale yellow light. On the side of the handle, an arrow was pointing to dagger. There was also sword, shield and cutting knife. Jake used the dagger to cut the chain that held his arm to the bed. He ran over to Alexis and cut her free too.

"Wha-wha-what was that!?!?" Alexis shouted in shock of seeing a pen turn into a dagger. Realizing that she had been too loud, she covered her mouth and had a scared look on her face.

"Now you've done it!" Jake yelled in a whispering voice. He sounded really annoyed. Alexis hear the sound of footsteps coming down the hall.

Jake grabbed Alexis's arm and said "We have to go, now! Just fallow me, and try to keep up."

He pulled her out of the room, just as another man in white came by. Jake kicked him in the gut and ran pass. Alexis let out a little squeal of surprise and ran after Jake. They dashed out of the hospital, hearing a "red alert" alarm going off on the campus. They were out in the back parking lot of the school. There were no cars anyway in sight. Jake looked across the parking lot, then suddenly dashed out. Alexis hurried to keep up with him, but Jake was so fast, and Alexis wasn't the best in gym class. Soon, Jake was across the parking lot and heading into the town. Alexis hated being left behind. She summoned all her strength and dashed across the lot almost as fast as Jake.

Soon, she caught up to him, half way down Waterpond Lane.

"Where. Are. We. Going?" Alexis asked between breaths.

"Wow, you're out of shape."Jake mumbled, "Over to the forest, well make in to the camp, if we hurry."

Alexis was confused. What did he mean camp? Alexis had never seen a camp in Quail Pine forest, and she explored it quite a lot. Out from Frostbite High street, Alexis heard a group of people. They sounded angry, but she couldn't hear what they were saying. Jake started running even faster. Alexis asked him to slow down but he told her to run faster. They were being chased.
