Hey This story is based on Fallen by Lauren Kate. I only use the names of the characters. That's it. The plot is almost entirely different.
Full summary:
Lucinda has never fitted in with the teenagers her age. She prefers to stay by herself, and hates the drama of High School. The teenagers avoid her for good reason, too. She is…different. Her hair is softer and more beautiful than anyone's, her skin paler than anyone has ever seen, and her eyes are as grey as the mist. It's abnormal. But there's something else abnormal about Luce. Something only she knows. Her dreams haunt her. She has seen the same teenager in all her dreams, but she has never seen him before. She is trying to work out what they mean, but will time run out for her before she does?
Prologue
The silence. It surrounded her, pressed in on her, making her feel uneasy. She was alone and lonely, both at the same time. The sky was a penetrating black. The clouds were thick, meaning no stars were visible. The only light came from a lamppost a few metres away. On any other occasion, she would've wondered what the lamppost was doing in the middle of a park, but right now she didn't seem to care. Something was coming.
The rain pounded down onto the earth, darkening everything it touched, making the whole atmosphere that much more miserable. The trees around her were drooping as if the rain had conquered them at last. The mist was curling around the ground thickly…beautifully.
Luce sat on a grassy slope that was leading into a large lake that was in the middle of the park. Her black hair was dripping down onto her lap and her clothes were soaked through. She could have gone inside, to the warmth of her bed and slept. She could have, but she didn't. She felt as though there was something pulling her outside at almost midnight. Like there was something, or someone, that she should be waiting for. She had no clue what it was, but she knew she must stay.
This was all too familiar. She had done it a hundred times over. She could remember, for she had been by that lake in the pouring rain at midnight before. She knew it. And, soon enough, she was going to see someone. She knew that, too. She could feel it. Someone was going to show her why she was waiting. But she didn't know who it was.
And, as if it was planned, as if it was meant to happen, she saw him, whom she was waiting for. He stood across the lake from her, staring straight at her. Luce stood up quickly, and looked him over.
He had dark hair, probably darkened from the rain, and it was flattened to his head. She could see some hair that was dripping wet, and it had fallen over his eyes. She couldn't see what exact colour they were from this distance, but they looked dark. His nose was perfectly straight, and his lips were full… He was…gorgeous.
She called out to him, "Hello?" It echoed around her eerily. He didn't reply, so she tried again, "Who are you?" Still no reply. He just stood there, staring at her.
Luce stared back at him for a long moment, taking in his loose black jeans, and black leather jacket. A dangerous, but…alluring look.
He started to turn away, fading into the trees in which he had emerged from, but Luce called again, unable to stop herself. "Wait!" But he didn't stop, and continued to walk away from her.
This was ridiculous, Luce thought. She didn't even know who he was, or where he came from at all, and yet…she did not want him to leave. But, just as she thought he would never come back, he stopped, turned around, and smiled at her.
Suddenly, she felt like she'd known him forever…
Okay, so that's the prologue. I have Chapter 1 written up, but I will only post it when I get…two reviews (I'll keep it small at the moment). I hope you enjoyed it even though it's pretty short. Not all of the chapters will be this short, this is the prologue, anyway.
