These Obsidian Eyes

Chapter one

Alexii's POV

I was running. From what you may ask? Honestly, I have no clue. One minute, my math teacher is keeping me in after the bell, the next he turns into a giant lion that shoots spikes. Ya know, just the everyday life of Alexii Blue. So anyway, back to running. I had finally reached a clearing with a huge pine tree. There was also a dragon under it guarding a fleece. Yep, this is the place. My mother had told me if I was ever in trouble, to go to Long Island, find the clearing, and that I'd be safe once I got past the pine. I was about to cross the pine when Mr. Brays (my teacher/lion scorpion type thing) shot a spike at me, nailing me in the shoulder. The pain was excruciating. I fell, and Brays continued to scratch and bite me. Then all of a sudden, he stopped. I opened my eyes to see him with a sword in his throat, and turning to ash. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was black obsidian eyes.
