So, this idea just came to me one day. I honestly think Twilight has ruined how I view vampires now, but I'm gonna try to shed some light on them and take them in an entire different direction. So please tell me if you like this. If I get five reviews then I will continue this story. If not, then this will be a very boring one-shot. So, please, please, please, tell me what you think!
Chapter One: First Day
"Temperance!" Christine Brennan called to her daughter from the foyer. "Darling, you're going to be late for your first day of school!"
Temperance Brennan ran down the carpeted marble steps towards her mother. "I'm ready, Mommy!" she said sweetly.
Temperance was not your average eight-year old girl. She had beautiful long auburn hair, crystal blue eyes, and she was quite tall for her age. But she also had a couple of strange allergies. She was allergic to garlic, as was the rest of her family, as well as the sun. She was so deathly allergic that if any part of her body was covered up by clothing or suntan lotion, her skin would break out into a horrible rash and turn black. Though, this had never happened to her, she made sure to put on enough layers and lotion every morning before she went out to play with her friends, who seemed to have the same condition she did.
"Hello, darling." Christine said when she saw her daughter, dressed in a short-sleeved blue sundress, that matched her eyes perfectly. "That's a very pretty dress you have on. Where did you get it?"
"Daddy got it for me. He said Grammie made it specially for me." Temperance smiled brightly.
Christine smiled back. "Well its lovely. Are you wearing your sunscreen?"
Temperance smiled. "I never leave the house without it."
Christine smiled. "Good. Are you hungry?"
Temperance smiled and followed her mother into their large kitchen, where Christine went to the fridge and took out some thick red juice of some sort and poured it into a glass for her daughter.
Brennan licked her lips and watched as her mother heated up the liquid on the stove before pouring it back into a glass and handing it to her daughter, who drank it up hungrily.
"Mmm!" Temperance said, finishing up the juice and placing the glass into the sink. "That was delicious! Thanks, Mommy!"
"Your welcome, dear. Now don't forget to put your fangs away now!" Christine said and Temperance sucked in a couple of fangs that had come out while she drank. "Very good, now go get your shoes on and your brother will meet you in the foyer to head off to school."
Temperance nodded and ran off to get her shoes on.
_FORBIDDEN LOVE_
Seeley Booth woke up to his little brother knocking at the door. "WAKE UP, SEELEY! YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!"
Seeley instantly got up and out of bed, rushing into the hall where all of Jared's toys were levitating above their heads. In Jared's hand, was his training wand.
"Isn't this so cool, Seeley?" Jared asked, looking up at his brother for approval.
Seeley smiled and shook his head. "I can't believe you finally mastered the levitation spell. Took you long enough. I mastered it when I was two!"
Jared stuck his tongue out at his brother and caused one of the toys to fly at him and hit him in the head.
"Hey!" Seeley said. "Be careful with that! You could really hurt somebody!"
"That was kinda the point." Jared said, cockily smiling at his older brother.
Seeley smiled back and took Jared's wand out of his hand, causing all the toys to fall. "Now, clean up before school starts." He said to his six-year old brother as he walked away spinning his wand.
"I need my wand!" Jared called after him.
"No, you don't! Use those things that you use to hold it!" Seeley called back.
Suddenly an old man appeared between them. The man looked very tired and was dressed in pin-striped pajamas and slippers. "Would you two knock it off! I had a late night and I'd like to get some sleep!"
The boys hung their heads. "Sorry, Pops!" they said in unison.
"Good. Now, go to school! You're gonna be late! And, Jared, pick up all these toys!" With that, the man vanished.
Seeley laughed and walked back to his room to get dressed as Jared grudgingly picked up all his toys and carried them to his room.
_FORBIDDEN LOVE_
Temperance stepped outside and was instantly greeted by her best friend, Angela Montenegro.
"Hey, Bren!" Angela said as soon as she saw Temperance.
"Hi, Ange." Temperance greeted back.
The girls settled into talk about how exciting their first day of school was going to be as Russ, Temperance's older brother walked behind them. It wasn't long before Zack Addy, one of the youngest, yet smartest, kids on the block joined them.
"Hi, Angela. Hi, Brennan." He greeted, falling in step next to Temperance.
"Hi Zack." The girls chorused. They continued talking, with Zack talking right along with them.
When they reached their school, Russ said goodbye and made his way towards the middle school, two blocks down.
Temperance, Angela, and Zack got comfortable on one of the stone benches and continued to talk.
That is, until somebody caught Temperance's eye.
Looking over by the playground, a boy her age was pushing a younger boy on a swing. The younger boy was laughing and urging the older boy to push him higher and the older boy, also laughing, began to push harder to make the swing go higher.
Temperance smiled at this sight, not only because of how sweet she found this, but because the older boy was very cute, in her opinion. He had messy dark brown hair, that came to his ears, and stuck out at angles. His eyes were kind and a sort of chocolatey brown that made Temperance's heart feel light as a feather, and his smile was so handsome and charming that Temperance found herself smiling just looking at it. The boy also wore a brown t shirt and a pair of ripped jeans, indicating that he wasn't of her sort of wealth, though she didn't really care very much. She was about to go over and say hi when Angela stopped her.
"What are you doing, Bren?" Angela asked.
Temperance blushed. She had completely forgotten about her friends. "Um...nothing. I was just, dozing off I guess. I just can't wait for school to start, you know?"
Angela smiled widely at her friend. "Uh-huh, sure... I'm sure it had nothing to do with that cute boy or anything. Hmm?"
Temperance's blush deepened. "I don't know what you're talking about, Angela." she said, trying to play it off.
"Mmm-hmm. Whatever, Sweetie." Angela said, using her favorite nickname. She was about to say something else when the school bell rang.
Temperance breathed a sigh of relief and began to pull Angela towards the door, not stopping until they were sitting in Miss Julian's 3rd grade class.
"Good morning, cheries!" Miss Caroline Julian greeted her students.
Temperance was in the front row, in between Angela and Zack. Another boy, by the name of Jack Hodgins sat on the other side of Angela, and seemed to be mesmerized by her.
Behind them were two blondes, Payton Perotta and Rebecca Stinson, who seemed to be having a problem staying quiet. Along with them was a young black girl names Camille Saroyan, as well as a boy named Timothy Sullivan, with his friends, Andrew Hacker and Samuel Cullen. All these children had trouble staying silent to the point where Miss Julian had to emit an ear-shattering whistle to silence them.
When all was silent, Miss Julian took a breath. "Now, I don't want to use this whistle again, but I will if I have to. Now, please be quiet and only speak when I say your name. Zachary Addy..."
"Here. And please call me Zack." Zack said, raising his hand and earning a smile from Miss Julian.
"You got it, cherie." she said. "Temperance Brennan?"
"Here, Ma'am." Temperance said, raising her hand.
"Do you have a special nickname, as well?"
"Most just call me by my last name. I prefer it."
"Okay, Miss Brennan. Now, Seeley Booth?"
There was no reply from anywhere in the room.
"Seeley Booth? Is there a Seeley Booth here?" Miss Julian asked.
"Hello!" Seeley popped his head into the room. "Sorry I'm late, Miss Julian, but I was taking my little brother to his class. It won't happen again. I promise." He shot her his charming smile.
"It better not. Now, what do you like to be called, Mr. Booth?"
"Handsome?" Seeley joked.
"Very funny. I think I'll just call you Booth, then."
"Fine with me, but I do prefer handsome."
The entire class laughed as he walked back to his seat in the back of the class, next to Sam Cullen.
Miss Julian just shook her head and went on with roll call.
When she had accounted for everyone in the class, she began putting them into assigned seats.
"Zack." She pointed to a seat in the front row on the far left and Zack sat down in it. "Brennan." Brennan took her seat next to Zack. "Booth." Booth took his seat and shot a charming smile to the pretty blue-eyed girl sitting next to him, making her blush bright red, which looked beautiful in contrast to her pale skin.
He quickly wrote a note and passed it to her.
She took it and read:
Hi. My name is Booth. What's yours?
She smiled and wrote a note of her own.
Brennan. But, please, don't disrupt me during class.
Booth smiled at her again, but she didn't catch it this time.
When class was over, Booth ran over to Brennan and said hi.
"Hey, Brennan. What's up?" he asked, smiling his charm smile.
Brennan looked up. "A tiled ceiling, it looks like. Why do you want to know?"
Booth laughed. "It's just an expression, Bren. Don't take things so literal."
"What's it an expression for?" Brennan asked, not quite understanding.
"It means what is going on right now." Booth explained.
"A lot is certainly going on. There's not a moment when something isn't but I don't really know all that is going on so I couldn't tell you, anyway. Sorry." And with that, she walked away to meet up with Angela.
"What was that all about?" Angela asked.
"I have absolutely no idea." Brennan answered, truthfully.
Booth, not used to girls walking away from him, even at his young age, took out his wand and discreetly caused her books to fall out of her backpack, before rushing over to help her.
Brennan and Angela were on the floor picking up books when Booth came over and began helping. But when he went to pick up a book he got a paper cut, which began to bleed. Brennan didn't miss this and the instant she saw the blood, her fangs came out and she licked her lips. Booth looked up at this moment, and, upon seeing her fangs, jumped back.
"Vamp!" he cried.
Brennan immediately covered her mouth with her hand and suddenly saw something come out of Booth's pocket.
"Is that a wand?" she asked. "You're a wizard!"
Booth scrambled to pick up his wand and stood up, with everybody watching. "At least I'm not a greedy bloodsucker! My Pops says you can't trust a Vamp. You never could!"
Brennan stood her ground and bared her fangs. "At least I'm not a lazy magician! My father says wizards can't do anything for themselves! They just use those sticks to make things float around and do everything for them!"
Booth glared at her and she glared back. All the students in the halls had stopped and began taking sides. All the witches and wizards began to go behind Booth and glare at Brennan while all the vampires stood behind Brennan.
It wasn't long before Brennan and Angela made their way through the crowd and out the door, towards their street. Booth did the same, pulling Jared behind him.
He couldn't believe how foolish he'd been, trying to get a vampire to like him. He would never make that mistake again, that was for sure.
So, do you guys like it? The basic idea is that they are in a community where there are a lot of supernatural creature, the two most common being wizards/witches and vampires. There is a feud between the two kinds, because of certain stereotypes. But there will be forbidden love, if you just REVIEW!
