So, if you like it, or have ideas for it, or just want to, comment on my story :) I thought it was alright, but that's coming from the writer haha.

D.C. Mmkay, so obviously I don't own the books, P.C. and Kristin Cast do. I just wanted to write my own version, so enjoy! :)

I was dreaming. I must have been. For only dreams could be this sweet, right? I was wearing a beautifully white flowing dress with a slit up the leg to the waist. There was a golden belt with moons sewn into it and what seemed to be odd daggers tucked into the sides. The sleeves were long, flowing, and thin, ending at the tips of my fingers. You could see my arms, and there was solid white beneath the thing veil over the dress. I could feel my long, curly auburn hair falling in heavy rivulets at my mid-back, and I had these odd, ancient Greek-like sandals on. They were a deep golden and were strapped crisscrossed up to my knees. I blinked slowly over my shocking blue eyes in surprise and awe at the scene in front of me.

I was standing on a hillside overlooking a large valley with a castle sitting in the middle of it. The castle was large and homely looking, and had an air of calmness around it that reached and only slightly soothed my surprise. It was an extremely pretty valley and castle.

I brought my hands in front of me, having felt warmth flowing through them. I choked back a gasp at what I saw. There were intricate tattoos flowing up from the tips of my fingers, over my palms and back of my hands, over my arms and disappearing beneath the solid white dress. They were a shockingly beautiful dark emerald green, and looked like vines up until they reached my elbows, which then they turned into flowing flowers to my shoulders, gradually melting into what seemed to be swirling smoke which were almost completely hidden beneath the white dress. The tattoos appeared once again at my thighs, this time many animals twining together in what seemed to be an ancient dance.

I suddenly heard an echoing, musical voice in my mind, pulling my thoughts immediately from my odd appearance. Hello, my daughter. You have finally joined me. Merry meet, my child. I gasped out loud, unable to hold it back.

Whipping my head from side to side, I called out, or so I tried; yet all that happened was my own thoughts flickering out dimly. Who said that? Whose there? I did not feel frightened, which was surprising, and I was only dimly aware of how much danger I could be in.

Looking around once again, I finally found the one whom had spoken to me. It was a woman. Her flowing, beautifully dark hair reached past her shoulders. She had intricate tattoos on her face that were a bright, sapphire blue. Her eyes were such a dark color I couldn't tell exactly what color they were.

As I watched her approach me, I noticed she was wearing a long, black, church appropriate dress, as though she were ready for a ceremony of some sort. She looked striking in the outfit, her pale and flawless skin shining in the moonlight. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and seemed otherworldly.

Her words reached me sooner than I thought was possible. There is no need to be afraid, my dear. You are quite safe with me, especially here, in my world. Yes, you are dreaming, but at the same time, not. This is happening in your dreams, but is really happening. Do you understand what I am telling you?

I thought it over for a moment. I suppose so, ma'am. But who are you, what world are you talking about that we are in, and what is of so importance in which y'all must visit me in my dreams?

She smiled. So many questions, young one, and so many answers. You will have many more questions in the years that follow this moment, but for now, I can at least answer the ones you have asked of me. In answer to your first question, I am Nyx, Goddess of all House of Night fledglings and vampires. As for your second question, you are in the Other World, Nyx's Realm. And in answer to your third, I have come to you to tell you of who you shall be, of how important you shall be to me. You will become a powerful fledgling, with many, many gifts, allies, friends, and enemies. You will be envied, loved, broken, and even hated. Yet you will always remain important to me. Let me say this, though, my daughter, that I shall give you a choice. You can remain in your ordinary life, with your mortality, family, and friends. Or, you can become a fledgling, my daughter, perhaps a future vampire, and future High Priestess. You can attend the Tulsa House of Night, take classes there, study under my High Priestess, and train to become a full vampire. Choose now, and forever remember this dream, Tatiana.

I just stared at her for a moment, took a deep, shaky breath, and told her: May I have a few moments to think this over, ma'am?

She smiled gently at me. You only have one minute until I must depart and make the decision for you.

I nodded and looked at the ground, biting my lower lip in contemplation. Leave my family, maybe die, yet, become as powerful as she said, learn more about what I could be, and perhaps find certain people who could help me with what had been happening since I was little? Or stay with my family, not risk dieing, stay popular and get that scholarship to Harvard University? Decisions …

The clock is ticking, my daughter. You only have 30seconds to answer. She said this quietly.

I nodded and suddenly knew the answer. I slowly raised my head to look her straight into the eyes. I wish to be taught under your rule, ma'am.

She gave me a bright smile. And shall it be done, has it begun. Merry meet, Merry part, and Merry meet again, Tatiana Aliana. She raised her arms to the dark sky, the bright moon, and the brightest light I had ever seen shone all around me.
