Soul Hunters
The Lost City
By: Abigail McEnulty
Chapter 1
“My hearts a stereo,” Lexi was listening, to on her headphones. Lexi was walking to Traces house, they were just going to hang. Lexi is a girl with strawberry- blonde hair that is long and she always dresses Goth- but she really isn’t. Trace has brown short hair and dressed like a normal teenage boy. Lexi and Trace have been dating for a month now and this would be a casual hang out. Lexi finally got to Traces house. She turned the music off and rang the doorbell. “Oh, hey Lexi,” Trace answered, “come on in.” Lexi walked to his living room couch and sat down. Lexi is 14 yrs old and Trace is 15. They met at the neighborhood park. “So, what’s up,” Lexi wondered. “Oh, nothing much. Do you want something to eat?” Lexi answered back, “no, not right now.” Ding - Dong…. “Who’s that?” Lexi gestured. “I don’t know probably a friend or something.” Trace walked to the door. He thought, oh man the dudes are coming today! Trace opened the door, “hey, man where’s the rest?” Lexi was walking toward them. “Oh, man nice girl,” Frank said as he pushed his way in. Frank is kind of a punk looking dude. “Hey, lady what’s your name,” Frank asked as he grabbed her on the sides and tried to pull her in closer. “Frank!” A voice came from the background. It was Trace, “hands off the lady!” Lexi ripped away and walked towards Trace. “My name’s Lexi and yours?” Lexi asked as she hugged Trace. “I’m frank nice to meet you, Lexi,” Frank walked towards the living room. “Why is he here?” Lexi gestured, away from Trace to look him in the eyes. “I forgot you were coming so, I invited him to hang,” Trace explained. Lexi turned and walked to the kitchen. Trace went to the living room and got a video game so, they could play for a bit. “Hey, Lexi come on over,” Frank demanded. Lexi just stayed in the same place for about 5 more minutes. She moved to the couch to get her phone and text Skylar her girlfriend. “So, when do you think you’ll be leaving, Frank,” Lexi curiously asked. “I don’t know and I don’t care,” Frank announced, while concentrating on the game . “Good how bout’ now,” Lexi demanded with a annoyed face.
Lexi walked home and left them. She of course said bye to Trace. Lexi was now at home and trying to relax but her little sister Alice kept running around and making weird noises. “Alice, stop running around and making weird noises,” Lexi yelled. Then, Alice started crying. “C’mon don’t start crying,” whined Lexi. Alice is 5 yrs old and has her own crazy styles. Lexi walked outside to call Trace her boyfriend. All of a sudden this big, purple, swirling portal was right in front of her. “Ahh, what is that,” she screamed in terror. A lady with red black hair and was dressed in a black cloke and a black wavy dress. “Stop, screaming I’m not supposed to be seen,” the lady said, but she sounded more like Lexis age. “Who are you and what are you doing here,” Lexi asked, confused and curious. “I am Alex your mentor,” Alex answered back. Lexi just stood there looking confused and scared. “Ok, so you are my mentor,” Lexi managed to say, “ wait how are you my mentor and what are you mentoring me for?” Alex explained that she was chosen to go on this task by the greats and that Lexi is a Soul hunter. “Wait, so your training me to become a soul hunter,” Lexi was repeating trying to get it all through her head. “Yes,” Alex said enthusiastically, “can you think any faster the sooner we start the better!” Lexi announced, “Hey, who said I ever wanted to do this,” “Sissy what are you doing and mommy told us not to talk to strangers,” Alice interrupted. “Go back inside,” Lexi told her, “and you go away, back to where you came from!”
It became morning and Lexi was awakened by the sound of Alex going through her stuff."Shh you'll wake Alice up!" Lexi interrupted her while she was looking at her books. “Sorry, but what is the Mortal Instruments about?" Alex was curious. Lexi replied, "It's about a girl name Clary Fray. Who finds out a lot more than she knew about her family and friends." Alex had a smile on her face. “Shall we," Alex turned towards me. “Shall we what?" I curiously asked. “Shall we go to training grounds," Alex took my wrist and pulled Lexi out of bed. She didn't even let her change. “Well let's go. Don't want to be late on your first day." Alex rushed me as we walked into my backyard. “Why are we in my backyard," I wondered." Because I need to open the portal," Alex replied instantly. Alex opened it with a weird looking shard. She pulled us inside the portal and as she dragged me through I saw a whole other city." This is the Lost City of Atlantis. We like to train here because it is very peaceful." Alex explained. Lexi was so surprised that she was actually at the Lost City of Atlantis. “So you actually train here!" Lexi said in a happy voice. “Yes," Alex started to explain some more, " we train many kids here, just like you. But remember this is no place to wander. It is a big crazy jungle. You are only here to train." Lexi was already beginning to like being a soul hunter.
"So where do you actually Train on the island?" I was so excited. Alex replied, "We train in the Circle. It's where we practice capturing and fighting the Dark Shadows. They aren't real though." Lexi stood there in relief. They started to walk to the Circle. As they approached the Circle. Lexi's heart started to beat rapidly. It's almost what she has dreamed of. Suddenly Lexi dropped to the ground. "Great another fainter." Alex stated. She ran to Eric. A tall blondey, with bangs and wore a t- shirt and some jeans. "Another one," Eric walked towards Lexi and picked her up. When I woke up I was laying in the grass. "Hi I'm Eric and I will be helping you train here," Eric told me as he helped me up. "I'm Lexi and when do I get to go home I have a date tonight." I asked as I got up and asked where Alex is. "She is out getting some other Soul Hunter." Eric replied, " You get to go when your done exploring here or taking a tour." He told me everything on the tour. Then we came upon something so beautiful. "That you may not want to touch," Eric warned me as I reached out for it. He explained to me that it was a crystal of the 5. It represents beauty. "We have not yet found the other four. That is why they get certain types of Soul Hunters and train them to be the best and get the other four crystals." As we finished the tour Eric sent me home and was glad to see me. When I got home I got ready for my date. Then I heard his car out front. Trace's mom was driving us. Since Trace does not yet have drivers license. We went to the bowling center. It was very fun.
Lexi was at the Circle training when Alex walked in. “Let’s go. We have to hurry, no time to explain." Alex grabbed all my stuff. “But-" As Alex pulled me quickly I couldn't say anymore. Lexi and Alex were now in a new city. “This is called the Soul City. It's where all the soul and soul hunters live." Alex explained, as she always did with everything. I wondered if she didn't like questions? “Wait, how am I a soul hunter if no one else is in my family?" Lexi asked. “Um, you'll have to ask Eric about that one. Where is that guy anyway?" Alex said with a smirk on her face. As we walked through the city we ended up at this small house. It was one story high. “This is my cousins house. Her name is Marley and she is 18. She has a boyfriend that visits quite often." Alex explained some more. “One more question why are we even here?" Lexi wondered. “Because the water is rising and it will be there for a year. This is the time when the four soul hunters get picked. By the end of this month they will all be picked." Alex told me. As the door opened we walked in. “Hello, please come in," Marley acquainted them. We all sat down on the couch. “Tea and sandwiches anyone?" As Marley got some I started reading the news paper. When Marley brang some tea and sandwiches, “My name is Marley nice to meet you." I looked up, "Lexi and hi." She sat down right in front of me. Marley's home was very nice. It had a living room with two couches facing each other, a rug in the middle, and a coffee table. There was a TV right in front of all that. Marley was watching TV and listening to the first chosen name. "Hello, I am Devon your host and the first name is Luke Halen!" The TV was on now. “Who is he?" Alex asked. "Um I think he went to our school," Marley murmured. "It is an honor to do this. I want to thank my coach, my family and friends for supporting me." The guy said on TV said. "Is that what people always say now when something big happens? I mean seriously." Lexi stated. "Who knows," Alex remarked. "And we will be back right after this break," The host on TV said. Marley turned on the combat channel. It's where a bunch of soul hunters compete. "I'm here," Marley's boyfriend Eadric said. “Hello, Eadric," Marley replied.
"You aperantly are , Eadric," Lexi joined in. "Yes, and you are, Lexi," Eadric replied. Lexi was wondering how he knew her name. "Eadric is a mind reader." Marley explianed to her. "Oh, okay I had thought he was a creeper or something." She told them. "Maybe, I should show you around the city, Lexi," Alex budged in. "She does not care but, what she wants to know why I'm here if I am not a soul or hunter," replied Eadric. "Wow, okay what color am I thinking of?" Lexi was amzed. "Typical, purple and black," Eadric was having fun with, Lexi. "Maybe," she replied with astonishment. "Um, Alex why don't you take her out shopping for clothes. The party is tonight." Marley said firecly. "Great idea!" Alex said immedieatly. "What party!" yelled Lexi. As Alex and I were walking down to the store I remmembered Trace. I missed him so much. Then I noticed a guy come running toward us. "Hi, Ray," Alex greeted. "Sup," he murmured. "You ready for the partty?" asked Ray. "What party and who are you?" I was so stressed. "I'm Rayhem but, people call me Ray and The party is for winners," commented Ray. "Who were the other three?" I asked him. He began, "Um, Lexi Collum, Rex Hunter, and Madison Realanty." Lexi snapped, "That's me!" Alex was shocked she couldn't speak at the moment. She grabbed my wrist and started running. We were now at the store. "I can't believe this. I mean ... you. How is it you?" Alexx stammered. "What's wrong with me? I-I know I just found out I was even a soul hunter. Now this," I returned. "I wont do it. Alex you can take my place. I mean it!" Alex was suprised, "That would be breaking the rules and this is to much for me to take on!" Lexi turned and looked at her, "Why? I thought -" Alex cut her off, "You thought I was a soul hunter. I'm really a...a..." she paused, "a dragon." Lexi screamed, "A DRAGON!" Alex started to change. All of a sudden, a big, black, dragon was infront of her. "Does everyone know this?" Lexi questioned. Alex didn't answer back. We continued to shop. It was now time for the party and we were all very excited! Lexi was wearing a purple, short dress with a black bow on her back. Alex was wearing a long, wavy, turquoise dress. Marley had a formal pink, pretty, dress on. Eadric had on a nice, formal, tuxcidoe. when they arrived the first thing Lexi wanted was Trace. I really wish he was here, Lexi thought to herself. The host was Rayhem. "Hey Marley, look who's here and the host." Alex was harrasing her cousin. "Wow, Alex just go talk to him. Ask him to dance!" Marley and Alex were going back and forth. Finally, "What's the big deal. Alex do what your cousin said and Marley go freakin hang with your guy!" Lexi broke the argueing. "I can't." Alex whispered. "What?" Lexi said strictly. Alex whispered some more, "I said I can't. I don't know how." Lexi's jaw dropped, "It is soooo easy. First, you get a conversation going. Then, BABAM!" Alex jumped, "Okay."
"Hey, Rayhem," Alex said walking towards him. "Hi, Alex. What are you doing?" Rayhem wondered. "Oh, my friend was one of the hunters called. So, now I'm here," Alex explained. “Cool. You look really pretty," Rayhem replied, "Do you want to dance?" Alex was surprised, “Of course, I would love to." As Alex and Rayhem danced, Lexi watched in the distance. Then it was time for the winners to go on stage. "Hello, it is now time to represent those special chosen ones. First, is Luke Halen, now Lexi Collum, Rex Hunter, and last Madison Realanty. Can we give a big round of applause to them." Rayhem was announcing. All of them walked of the stage and rejoined the party. Alex and Rayhem started dancing again. "Um, I was wondering... if... you wanted to... go out," Alex stuttered. "Oh Alex, I thought you'd never ask!" Rayhem said as he hugged her. The party ended and everyone went home. "What did he say?" Lexi asked Alex, as they walked to Lexi's house. "He said, he thought I'd never ask," Alex exaggerated. "Aww, how sweet. I can't believe it worked," Lexi answered. "Stop!" Alex yelled. We continued to walk silently to my house. When we got there we said bye to each other. "Goodnight," Lexi said softly, then Alex portaled out of there.
