Hello everyone! This is my very first fanfic, EVER. In all of existence! It would be much appreciated for reviews and such to hopefully keep me writing some more! Oh, by the way, I do not own any of the original True Blood characters whatsoever, unfortunately, -sniffle- Someday, Eric...baha. Anywho, I DO however, own Lina.
Chapter I: Fright and Loss
This is going to be the best birthday he's ever had. Just him and me, and the football game, just like he likes.
A slight laugh escaped past the girl's lips, but it quickly vanished as she pulled up to her father's home in her fancy '55 Ford T-Bird of a vehicle. Lina turned off the headlights and quietly got out of the car and walked up the drive to the front window to peek inside. Everything was silent, and everything was black. It caused Lina to shiver as she immediately figured out something was wrong.
Bang. The shot rang crisp and sharp through the cold, night air. This shot had been meant for someone and it faithfully hit its target.
"Daddy…" The word came out in a hoarse whisper while the horrified moss-green eyes stared through the window. She searched to locate the source and stifled a scream. Vampires. Two of them. Both were men, truly handsome, even with those terrifying, malicious eyes, and pearly white fangs. The next scene would leave an image plastered in the girl's mind forever: the vampires were ripping the lifeless corpse of her father apart, and laughing.
'This is bad…I need to get out of here.' The girl thought, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not will her legs to move. Part of the reason was because she was so frightened, and the other part…completely fascinated.
'Snap out of it!' Her mind screamed at her, and she did. Mustering up as much energy as she could, Lina tiptoed down the hall, away from the front window of her father's fabulous condo. She gasped as something hard and cold gripped her neck, not bothering to clear away the dark curls that tumbled down her back.
"Now where do you think you're off to so quickly?" The silky, alluring voice of one of the vampires purred at her. Wasting absolutely no time in indulging him, Lina threw a backward punch against his face, specifically with her right hand which had a silver ring around her middle finger. Bingo. Her ring made contact, just under his right eye. Lina silently thanked the lord for the self-defense lessons she received back in high school. The vampire let her go, stumbling back and howling in agony, giving her just enough time to run down the paved path to her car. A string of curse words ran through her mind at herself for wearing a dress and heels. Shaking, she pulled on the handle, got in, and turned on the ignition.
"Oh, god!" She cried as she looked over to see the vampire recovering and walking to her, looking completely furious. Lina floored the acceleration and leaving a burnt rubber stench in her wake, she sped off toward the freeway.
I know this first chapter is so short, and I apologize. But I can assure you, future chapters will be longer. Read and review please! By the way, tips on improving my writing are greatly appreciated if you feel they are appropriate! Thanks!
