XSRA's Flame Chapter 4: To Beacon!
Skyla's POV
The bags are packed and the goodbyes are said. School is over and summer is finally here. Which also means it's time to head to Beacon. I quickly grabbed bags and rushed over to the train leading to the airship, where I parted with the crowd and boarded the vessel.
I hopped onto the train and sat down at the back of the car and placed my bags into a small storage compartment above. Pulling out a small book, I began to read. Several more people boarded the train but none usually sat towards the back so no one really bothered me. From the corner of my eye, I caught a blur of green board and disappear at the other far end of the compartment.
I slowly leaned out of mine to catch the face of the green but he had his back turned towards me. Sighing, I gave up and slid back into my seat and snuggled into the corner to continue my reading. I can't wait to begin training with the huntresses and huntsmen there to learn new skills and become better. That's what I truly look forward to. Too bad I won't see that Xera kid again. Though he ultimately looked like a person who people wouldn't spare a second glance at, I did but what caught my attention most were his eyes.
Many people have unique interesting eyes, I myself own a pair of dark violet eyes but his intrigued me. One second I saw one color, the next they were different. They didn't darken or lighten, they changed their entire color. I wanted to learn more about him, why he was so quiet and mysterious but I never got the chance and I never will. Beacon is a hard to get in school. You're lucky if you even get considered, let alone be accepted.
I placed my feet up on the other seat and brought my knees to my chest and continued to read despite my mind being somewhere else. A habit of mine. Whenever I read, I still am reading the book but half of my mind is somewhere else thinking.
As the train began to move, I leaned back into my seat and watched the buildings and people move out of view and change into blurs.
Soon, my eyelids became heavy until they finally drooped down and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
