Hello there my name is Alexis Maira James, I am 23 year's old and the first girl dragon rider! The story you are about to read is that of a normal teenage girl and her brother taking on dangrous mission's for that of the higher dragon rule's of a school-- Oh I guess I'm geting ahead of myself aren't I? Well then... Why don't we start from the begining huh? Alright let's go back 7 year's in the past where it all started.
It was a late summer afternoon and I was growing bored of my meny book's and video game's, my twin brother was at his friend's so I couldn't do anything with him, sighing I thought of going to the park like I always did when I'd get bored. Normaly I would go to my friend Chase's place to see if he wanted to go with me but him being busy most of the time I thought it would be better not to bother him today. I sighed pushing myself up and down the top part of mine and my brother's bunk-bed and walked out of the room making sure to shut the door tight I don't know why but I have to have the door shut I hate it when people can see into our room, it annoies me for some reason. I walked down the hallway slowly into the kitchan grabing some food out of the fridge my Mother had made last night, I haven't been eating right lately ever since Kobe and I broke up three day's before. I was tring not to let it get to me but anybody who knew me well would know that when I fall in love it's most likely a deep love which only hurt's more when it would end, But anyway moving on.
I ate what I had quickly and turned to the door and called to my Mother that I knew was in the livingroom. "Mama, I'm going to the park for a little bit!" Not to long after that I heared my Mother's voice. "Alright. Becareful and don't go nowhere else." I nod and give her a "Kay." for an answer and left out the door and down my drive way then turned right to the park. It was right next door to my house so it wasn't very far to walk from where I lived. I stuffed my hand's into the large pocket's of my bagy jean's, my head down low and my shoulders slumped, anyone with eye's could tell I was feeling down and out about something, But as alway's no one noticed or no one cared enough to ask. When reaching the park I could hear talking behind me I didn't bother with it though I knew who they were not pursonaly of coarse but I knew where they were goin'... The park they were there all the time now, as if waiting for something. I ingored those odd feelings though, I mean I don't know these guy's so who am I to judge what their doing at the park?
Soon I got to the part of the park I loved the most ever since I was a kid. The swing's. I loved those thing's and I still do to this day, it's childish I know but it's all I got to hold me to my child conterpart inside me. When I get close enough I run up to MY swing, it is mine! I marked it with my name on the bottem part of it... Heh heh. It was a crime to write on the park item's but no one cared about the park but me so I was never cought. I sat down on the seat of the swing and kicked back moving my leg's back and forth to go higher leting the wind blow through my dark brown hair, leaning back closing my eye's and soaking up the suns warm ray's on my face giving the skies and small content smile. My peaceful thought's were broken as I heared the loud cheering of the boy's I had past on the way here. They would do this everyday come to the park, sit under the bloosem tree (as I called it for it blooemed almost all year round) and would brag and tell stories of their past. I had found this ruteine rather funny.
I halfway listened to their stories but I mostly swang quietly in my swing looking up to the skies hoping that one day something would change my life for the better... Everyday was the same thing for me and my brother, we wake up get into a fight with our step-father we never even start the damned thing's it's always HIM... I'm not sure what we do to start them but I guess it's pretty bad for him to start fighting with me and him over nothing. Mom never stops it either, she just stands there watching and shaking her head, but I guess she does stop it if it goes to far. I was so deep in my thought's that I didn't even notice someone sit on the seat next to mine. I felt a tap on my shoulder and jumped looking over and into the dark brown eye's the boy sported so well and I just couldn't turn away. They were so soft and full of concern toward me even though he didn't know me nor I him, they were bright and full of child like innocents and he sported a warm smile on his face and the wind blow threw our hair, his tanish brown hair framing his gentle face as mine covered up my sky blue eye's and most of my face, then he spoke softly as if an angel was infrount of me.
"Hey I'm Noah. What's your name?" I blushed slightly and turned my gaze from his eye's to the ground. "A-Alexis.." He tilted his head at my shyness and smiled again. "Alexis, huh? That's a nice name." I kicked my feet and looked back at him and smiled slightly. "Thank you. Noah." By this time the other four boy's came up and stood behind their friend. the one to the far left had black hair that was short in the back and long in the frount also spiked in the back his bright green eye's peering down at me coldly. A look I knew all to well. Noah turned to look at him then pointed at him. "This is Rick Norris." He pointed next to Rick to another guy with short black hair and eye's. "This big lug here is Kayden-- no last name and my brother." His eye's were soft but not as caring or concerned as Noah's, his face was held strong as he stared at me as if judging me. "The tall guy here is Matthew Burkett and is the biggest jokester in our little group," Matthew as I now knew had a big goofy grin on his face and a playful look in his eye's as they peered down at me looking right into mine, his sandy blonde hair was spiked and messy as if he just got out of bed and his blue eye's were full of mistchif (sp?) and joy. "And the semi-bored looking guy there is Aaron McBrain the calmest and well the most dangrous of us all." Aaron nodded toward me a I'd guess smile on his face, though it was to small for anyone to see but I did. He ran his hand through the loose strans of fire red hair pushing them back into his short mohawk (sp?) it wasn't the side's are shaved and just the hair on top type of mohawk it was his whole head of hair jelled up into one. I now had a smile on my face and had twisted my swing to see them clearly. "Hello, nice to meet you all. I'm Alexis james." Matthew walked closer to me and took both my hand's. "It's so nice to meet such a pretty woman like yourself." With that he kissed my hand's and I turn bright red. "Uh, uh.. T-thank you, Matthew..." He looked at and smiled slyly at my studering (sp) and red face then Noah slaped his hand's lightly and he quickly let go. Noah gave him an annoied looked and smiled at me again.
"Would you like join us under the tree?" He asked and I smile lightly at him. "That's nice of you to ask really it is but... I don't want to ruin your time here." I shook my head hanging it low and standing up from the swing and holding my left hand up and started to leave then felt Matthew grab my hand. "You're not going to ruin it! In fact you'll probly make it better." I stared at Matthew for a moment then smiled softly. "Okay... I'll stay awhile longer." Matthew dragged me over to the "Blossem Tree" and sat me down next to him. The other's followed shortly and they contiued to tell their stories as I smiled at their happy faces, I wished I could be that happy but ever since my mom married my step-father and Kobe and I breaking up I haven't been truely happy in along time but I wasn't going to ruin this good time thinking about it. "Alexis. Alexis? Alexis! Hello, Earth to spaze!" Matthew Yelled as he waved a hand infront of my face. I hadn't even noticed I was just staring out into space, but his voice broght me out of it. "Huh, Wha? Oh s-sorry, I must have spaced out, what were you saying?" The Boy's smiled and laughed softly at my spazey state and Matthew contuied. "Well, I was saying that you should hang out with us more you seem like you have alot on your mind and maybe hanging out with us will help." My eye's widen slightly at his words, how did he know I had problem's? "I, uh, I don't know what you're talking about I don't have anything on m-my mind." I looked away and up at the skies hoping with all my heart they trusted my words were true. I looked out of the coner of my eye to see them looking at me in the "We know your lieing to us" way. I sighed and stood up and walked behind Matthew he looked up at me and lifted a brow. "What are you doing?"
PUSH!
I pushed Matthew forward slightly which got him of gaurd and he fell on his face. "Your it!" I yelled and ran off to the slide and climbed up the step's. "What's the matter!? You to slow to catch a girl! Ha ha ha!" I shouted to Matthew as he got up looking puzzled then shook his head and jumped up and ran to the slide and skided to a stop at it. "That was a dirty trick!" He shouted climbing up the step's of the slide. "Whoever said I was fair?" I smirk and grabed the side of the rail and jumped off the the left side and darted off the the broken down bench and stood on the seat and moved my hip's side to side singing, "You'll never catch me, you'll never catch me, you'll never catch meeee!" Matthew ran at me and at the last second I jumped down and darted to the Si-Saw (sp?) and did the same thing I did on the bench. "Missed me, missed me, now ya gotta kiss me!" Matthew smirked at me and dashed toward me and got me off gaurd, I ducked out with him only inches away from grabing at me. I stumbled back and looked over at his playful smirk and tilted my head at him. "Now if I catch you... Do I get a kiss for it?" I could feel myself blush and ran over to the other boy's and hid behind Noah only looking out from behind him toe see where Matthew was and saw he was running for me. "Eek! Run for your life's!" I know I must of ran around with him chasing me for a good eight or nine minutes. That is until I ran right into the one purson I shouldn't have. I ran right into Rick! We both fell to the ground with a hard THUD, soon the boy's were saying thing's like 'uh-oh' and 'oh s**t' and 'this isn't going to end well...' I rubed my head and looked up and into the hateful green eye's that belonged to Rick, I knew right then I was in deep s**t... Rick got up slowly and glared down at me, rose up his fist and sent it down toward me! I rolled to the left and got on my knees just barely missing the what would have been painful hit to me. He didn't even flinch when his fist hit the ground, just looked over at me, stood and walked over to me, a killers stare on his stone face. I start shaking and try to get up but fell down on my butt and scooting back to try and get away from him. Soon he was right over me fist rised up again staring deadly at me. "C'mon Rick, stop it! She didn't mean it!" Noah shouted but Rick never took his eye's off of me nor I him, then he rised his arm to slam it down on me. My eye's widen and I put my hand out at him. "Nooo! Get away from me you freak!! Aaaaah!" I screamed closing my eye's and my hand was covered in a bright blue light and it shot out and repeld (sp?) Rick back making him fall on his a**! I opened my closed eye's to see Rick staring at me dumbfounded and I jerked myself up and darted away from the park and away from the boy's calling out my name.
I ran clear across the small field that parted my house from the park, tirping and rolling down the hill of the field. Pushing myself p and kept running, I shot through the bushes on the side of my house I bumped into the door more like slamed into it before opening it and darted to my room shuting the door tightly. Keeping the light's off and climbing up to the top of the bunkbed and hiding under the cover's as I always did when something was wrong with me, I had to think of what just happened. What was that odd light? Why did Rick freak out like that? Why did I run when the boy's were calling out to me? Why does weird s**t like this always happen to me? I put my pillow over my head and closed my eye's tightly, but then there was a knock at my door and my mother's voice on the other side. "Alexis. Their are some people here to see you." I knew who they must have been, "Tell them to go away! I'm not taking visiters right now!" After that was said it was quiet so I was pretty sure they left, then my door opened and I let out a grunt to show my disapprovle. (sp?) "Um, Alexis. Rick isn't here. He, uh, went home after the--" I cut Noah off after that. "I don't care about him! He is not what I'm upset about!" The guy's shared a glance and Kayden steped closer to the bed's. "It's about the light isn't it, Alexis?" I poke my face out of the covers and nod slightly. "Well if you would just come down so we--" I cut him off went back under my covers. "No, I'm not coming down." The boys sigh and Matthew jumps on the bottem bunk and pokes me with his index finger. "Ah, C'mon why hide that pretty face?" I scooted away from him and he grined at his friends. "Oh no. Matthew don't!" Noah tried in vain to stop whatever it was that his perverted (sp?) friend was planing on doing. Matthew quietly creeped up the steps of the bunk-bed and crawled on top of me and waited, me feeling movement ever so slightly moved the cover's off my head and met the clear blue eye's that belonged to Matthew and jumped hitting my head on the roof of my room (my bunk wasn't that far from it enough to get up there and lay down maybe prop yourself up a little but other then that there wasn't much room.) and fell back down with a groan and held my head. "Aww, I didn't mean to hurt you." Matthew breathed heavily into my neck and I know I must have blushed ten diffrent shades or red before pushing him off me somehow and jumping off the side of my bunk to the bottem one not even bothering with the steps. I sit there on my brother's bed rubing the side of my head, then when Noah started to speak I held up my hand to quiet him and got up and went over to my T.V. stand and picked up the bottle that was at the corner marked "Ibuprofen" and opened it droping two pills into my palm and poped them into my mouth and swallowed (sp?) them.
I turned around and faced them. "Sorry for cutting you off like that Noah, I suffer bad headache's and that bump to the head will coase a bad one." Noah noded smiling and walked over to me putting his hand on my shoulder. "It's no biggy I get them alot too." I rised an eyebrow and gave him the "I wonder why?" look and he laughed softly. Aaron steped foward and coughed. "Um, not to be rude, but we kinda well really have to talk to you about the light..." His words trailed off as he saw the look of dispare of my face, I tore myself away from Noah and sat on the bottem of the bunk-bed and put my head in my hands resting my elbows on my knees and sighed deeply. Matthew and Noah sat at the sides of me and both put their hands on my shoulders. "I thought it was over with, all this freaky s**t. I thought I was normal again." Kayden looked over to me quickly. "You mean this has happened before?" I nod slightly not bothering to look up from my hands, I didn't want to see the look of disgust (sp?) like my parent's had went I frist tolled them. Little did I know that wasn't the case with these boy's they gave a look of knowing and Noah rubed my back gently. "Alexis, we know how you feel because well... All of us here have somewhat the same powers." I look up at Noah questioningly for a minute then shook my head. "No. You guys have to be lieing. There can't be anyone else with this problem." I put my head back into my hands and sigh heavily. "But we do! we can prove it!" Matthew jumped up from his seat next to me and I look up slightly. He held out his hand and it was ingulfed (sp?) by a bright yellow light and I jumped up from my seat and stared at his hand wide eyed, the light shined and I narrow my eye's as the light left his hand and looked up at him. "See? We're just like you." I tilt my head to the side and close my eye's. "Okay, I beleive you but... What is this power?" Noah stood up placing his hand on my shoulder again. "We could tell you, but we're not allowed to. That's only for the Elder of the Rider's." I look over to him questioningly and he sighed. Then the door opened and there my brother was all sweaty a dirty like always. "Yo, Sis! I'm... Back?" My brother looks around the room at all the boys then to me. "Uhhh, am I interuping (sp?) something?" I stiffen and ,move away from Noah. "No you idiot! Damn your so perverted!" He just laughs and walks over to me and places his arm over my shoulders. "Ahh yes but you love me!" I wrinkle my nose and push him away. "Yes but you need a shower or something 'cause your giving off some bad BO." My brother laughed kind of loudly and steped back. "Well what do you think would happen when you play Touch Football in mud and grass all day?" I shake my head at point to him. "Guy's this is my brother Adam Lee James and my twin." Matthew tilted his head and got really close to my face staring at me intensly with those pircing blue eye's of his. "Uhh... Is something the matter?" He kept his gaze on my eye's then took a lock of my hair between his finger's stared at it then my brother taped his shoulder looking at him strunly before speaking. "Hey your invading (sp?) my sister's bubble so if you don't mind backing up a little bit and giving her some space that would be great."
I stared at my brother as did Matthew before pulling back and taking a step backward. "Sorry but I'm protective (sp?) over my sister as she is for me so don't try anything to hurt her in anyway 'cuz I will beat you down if you do." I sigh and rub my eye's although I am greatful for my brother caring so much but sometimes it was rather annoying. I woundered if I should tell him about what happened? He is my brother after all. I tap his shoulder and he turns to me all smiley like he always is. "Brother we have to talk." He stoped smiling when he saw my face was grim and dark. "What is it Sis?" I looked over at the other's then at my hand. "Adam. It happened again." My brothers eye's widen and grabs the hand I was looking at. "You had another outburst?" I nod and he pulls me into a hug. "Did anyone see you?" I point over to the guy's and he turns to them. "You guys can't tell anyone about this if our parent's found out..." My brother's words trailed off as he looked to me and we huged tighter to each other. Me and my brother Adam were always close but as time goes by one would think we grow farther apart but we only got closer as things got worse for our lives. Noah was the first one to speak. "We wont tell anyone but, there is one we must tell." My brother looked strunly at him. "No." Was all he said and looked back at me. "Adam, have you ever had an "Out Burst"?" My brother nod's and Kayden and Aaron go to leave. "We're getting the elder. Now." Me and Adam let go of each other and yelled at the same time. "No! You can't do that! Our parent's will find out if you do!" Aaron and Kayden shake their head's and leave the room anyway. I go to try and stop them but was stoped by Noah putting his arm around my waist and holding me in place, he was stronger then he looked since he was very lean but was more musculer (sp) then I thought. "Adam, Alexis, please trust us. We promise your parent's will not get wind of this." I stare at him. "How can you promise such a thing?" Noah just smiles at me and let's me go. "The Edler is, um, well, let's just say he can talk anybody into anything and make them belevie anything." Me and my brother stared at him a good long while before Adam coughed. "Well, I guess while we're waitin' why not play a video game?"
