A girl with brownish red hair lay asleep in her bed.She was having the strangest dream.In the dream there was a girl that looked exactly like her only older.Mila's parents had died when she had turned nine so she didn't have a family anymore.She lived with her Aunt Rin and her Uncle Martin.They treated her like dirt!

Mila slept in her cousin's room with her.She treated her even worse! People made fun of her because,her name was like a Spanish name.All her life she wished she could ride a certain flying creature but,the creature she wanted to ride-according to her aunt-didn't exist.

When she was very little-around 8-9-years-old before her mother and father died-she studied dragons constantly but,her aunt Rin came into her room one night and saw Mila reading a book-a blue book-with a black dragon on it."What are you doing?"Aunt Rin had demanded,looking at Mila's book.

"Stu-studying d-d-dragons,"Mila stammered.Aunt Rin picked Mila up by the scruff of her neck and shook her violently."Don't EVER say that word again!"she scolded,squeezing tighter on Mila's neck.Mila just nodded,considering she couldn't speak.What else could she do?

Then Aunt Rin had let go and walked away like it was the most right thing she could do in the world.Mila tossed and turned,her brownish red hair flew from side to side as she did.Her hazel eyes were only a quarter of an inch open.Her tannish white skin reflected off of the pale moonlight.

"Who are you?"Mila asked the girl who looked like her.

"I know you,"the girl said but,it sounded like a question instead.Mila looked shocked."How do you know me?"Mila asked.

"I'm not the one to tell you.You must find out on your own,Mila,"the girl said.At that very moment someone scared Mila awake.A girl with horrible looking silver hair and dreadful green eyes stood by her bed."Get up now!"she screamed.Mila jumped out of bed and yawned."What do you want,Molly?"Mila asked groggily.

"We have school today,Mia,"her cousin laughed.

Mila got up and went to her closet.She pulled out her dragon designed gloves,her blue tank top,her black shorts,her blue hoody with a black dragon design on it,and her black hiking boots.She put them on."Did you here me? I said we have school to-"Mila cut her off."I heard you,Molly,"she snapped.

Molly punched her in her tanned face."Don't cut me off,Mia.I'll tell mother if you do,"Molly sneered.Mila wiped off her face off with one gloved hand to find that there was no blood coming out of her nose.Then she stormed out of her room,-and the house-got on her black bike,and pedaled her way to school.

She pedaled swiftly around the bend to the Red Star Middle school.She was a seventh grader there.When she got there,a boy with blond hair and pale eyes stood at the very entrance to the school."Well,what do we have here?"the boy asked no-one in particular.

Mila tried to walk past him but,he swung her around to face him.Mila blushed but,then found her courage."What do you want?"Mila demanded,annoyed with the boy.

"I hate it when you girls ignore me,"he said simply."No I hate just being ignored.My name is Blake.What is your name?"

"My name is Mila.Nice to meet-"Mila was cut off when someone dragged her down."Ahh!"Mila screamed fear echoing in her voice.

"well,what do we have here?"the person asked.Mila looked up at the person who had dragged her to the ground.She now realized it was a boy with black hair and red eyes.Is everyone going to ask that today? Mila asked herself.

The person pushed her to her feet."Get up!"he commanded,making Mila bolt to her feet.Mila wanted to scream;this new person looked so terrifying to her!"I am honored to be in your presence,Princess,"he said,bowing his head.

"You really shouldn't say that,Blaze,"another boy said.

Mila turned turned to face the boy.The boy had downed-as in down over his ears instead of messy-blue hair with a little red on the tips and greenish gold eyes."How did you know I would be here?"Mila asked.

"We-I mean I knew that because,I have the gift of being Clairvoyant,"the boy replied."I'm Morren."

"Have you ever heard of "Dragon Riders",Mila?"Blake asked.

Mila shook her red head.

"We're Dragon Riders and so are you,"Blaze explained.

Mila couldn't believe her ears."Hold up here! I'm a Dragon Rider?!"

"Yeah,"Came Blake's simple reply.

Mila's eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell backward."Um...Blake couldn't you have just explained it just a little more lightly?"Blaze asked,looking down at Mila.

"I wonder what she'll do when we tell her she's a witch too?"Morren asked.Blaze slapped him in the back of the head.

"Shut up you moron...we can't let Sokanere hear.If he does then...well you know,"Blaze said,his face darkening.

"So what are we going to do with her?"Blake asked,changing the subject."We can't just leave her here."

Morren tapped Mila's forehead with his forefinger."She's out cold,"he said.

"Should we take her to Ronausia?"Blake asked.

"No!"the rest of them disagreed.

"Sokanere will kill her,"Blaze said.

"We can take her to the infirmary,"Morren suggested.

"How will we explain that she fainted though Morren?"Blake asked.

Blaze was lost in thought for a moment then he snapped his fingers."I vote we take her to our house,"he said."She has to learn dragon riding."

Blake nodded."Who's going to carry her though?"he asked.Morren and Blaze looked at Blake with an evil grin."What?"

Well that's chapter one.Sorry it wasn't that long but,on paper it looked so much longer.

Sorry if it wasn't what some of you fantasy readers were looking for but,I like writing stories like this.So there(-sticks out tongue-).

Please review and again flame me if you have too...

Chaio!
