Best of Both Worlds
Chapter 2: Welcome to My Life
"How do you expect to be known when you have no history to go by?"
"I can just make up my own history."
"That's impossible with this world. After all, it isn't the early 21 century."
"I think I would know the difference if it was 2010 and 2056."
"You act as you don't know."
"Then it seems that you are as immature as I thought."
I spun on my heels, feeling my friends storming behind me. But I left, walking as though I had some place to go. But Selena was faster than me. She spun me around, trying to look at me deeply.
"I'm sorry Sam. Honestly, I am."
"I know," I smiled, "but you know that I don't accept apologies that are hugely unreasonable."
"I know that," Dalen said.
I smirked and gave a clicking sound in the back of my throat to him. But Dalen knew me better and smiled.
"Best friends?" he asked.
"Forever. No matter what."
If I only knew the truth that would rip away everything of mine. That only in a few days' time would change me forever.
Days soon passed, leaving me with only to realize that time in muggle school was about to end. Next year, I was going to be going to Hogwarts for seven years. All too soon, I also realized what I was going to give up. I knew the instructions my parents gave me, and that I need to do what they wanted. If anyone found out who I was, then I would be super dead meat. No matter what, I had to keep myself in check about keeping a low profile.
Dalen sat next to me in lab, trying, unsuccessfully, to act like he knew nothing at all. But I didn't complain as he spilled a whole set of chemicals all over me. The sub ran over and started to fawn all over me. Dalen went pale and tried to help me, but I said that I'll just put water to it. Knowing Dalen, I also knew that he would convince the teacher to get himself to come with me.
"Dalen, go with Samantha to make sure that she gets all the chemicals washed off," the sub said through the chaos of the class.
Dalen nodded, grabbed the pass, and got me out.
"I am so sorry Sam," he said in a shaky breathe, "I didn't mean to-"
That's when a roar filled our ears. I only had time to grab Dalen by the shirt and shove into the lockers. Pain ripped down my chest as something slashed down my shirt. The burn became a knife and dug deep into my lungs and heart. Blood poured from collar bone to stomach. My shirt was cut down in half, and my sports bra was exposed. I looked up to the person who attacked me. His blonde hair fell to his shoulders in curls and eyes black. There was a glisten of blood upon his cheek as he breathed.
"My, my," he whispered, "Samantha Jackson. My Lord will pay me deeply for your dead body."
I could only breathe as I tried to find a way out. My parents' weapons were in my locker, two corridors down. My only hope was to keep him busy until I could kill him. He raised his blade up past his shoulder. It made a hiss sound as it fell down, but it hit the ground. I did another back flip.
"Sam!" Dalen yelled.
He tried to get to me, the boy slammed into Dalen, making him gasp in pain.
"Dalen!" I screamed.
I ran to him, the blood still pouring, and jumped onto the boy's undefended back. His sword fell to the ground with a loud clack. He roared and bent backwards, trying to claw me off. I clung to him, squeezing until I couldn't anymore.
"GO!" I screamed at Dalen.
My heart pounded as more blood flowed from me. My vision started to fade into darkness. The boy managed to grab me. His fingers locked around my arms and ripped upward. My body tore upwards and slammed into the lockers. My head slammed into the bottom edges of two lockers. I fell onto the ground hard. The boy panted, bent over, and picked up his sword. He flicked and my blood flew all over the floor.
I could barely see what was going on around me. Blood pounded in my ears and my body ached in all too many places. The faint outline of darkness of the monster's body was all that kept me from going under. I had to protect Selena and Dalen. I just had too. With my body protesting, I climbed to my feet. He stood over me with unblinking hatred-filled eyes.
"Why are you doing this?" I whispered.
Yes, it's not my strongest point, but I had to do it. I had to buy time.
"My master wants you dead. And with your death shall come the reign of the children of Olympus!"
What the hell? "What do you mean?"
He smiled a sickening grin. "When we take back what is ours, the gods will be dumped in the pit and we shall rule the world. We will make it how we want it. We will be the new immortals!"
This guy is crazy.
I licked my lips.
Black spots danced in my vision.
"Why my death?"
That's when the corridor exploded.
