Heyy everyone. So this is a Adrian and Sydney fanfiction. There will props be spoilers about bloodlines but you know there is in most stories now. Anyway I found out that it's turning into it's own little series and I was like 'YAY' lol. The next book is called The Golden Lilly. How cool. So I hope you like this. It's only the first chapter so It's a little short. Okay if any of you know where Sydney actually lives I would love to know cause I have no idea.

I sat in the back of the club staring at my glass of water. 'Suspended.' The word seemed to drift around me like a curse. I shivered at the memory. I had been suspended from any alchemist duties until further notice. I groaned and drowned the rest of my drink before my friend danced her way towards me. She still swayed to the music or because she was drunk "Come on Syd." She whinned. She flicked her dark hair behind her shoulder looked at me "We took you out so you could have some fun. Not mop around at the back of the club." She pouted at me. I graoned and shook my head. "Come on Syd." she grabbed my arm and started tugging lazily until I came out of my seat.

"Alright. Fine, I'll dance with you." She let out a high pitch squeal and dragged me towards the dance floor.

The rest seemed to pass in a haz. The dancing, the drinking and everything inbetween. I stumbled out onto the street with my friends. "Chess." I groaned and grabbed onto her arm. She giggled and slipped to the floor making us all laugh. We pulled her to her feet only causing the rest of us to stumble back towards the road.

I was the one who started trying to catch someone's attention. Anyone's. A cab. A random.

No one slowed down only making me be shoved further out onto the road "Come on Syd. We'll just drive home." Kelly said playing with her fake nails. I turned to look at them.

"No way. We're drunk and-" I hicuppted and they burst out laughing. Great. Finally a car pulled up on the side of the road and a man pushed the passenger door open. I reconised his face but I couldn't put it to a name.

"Hello ladies. Need a ride home?" Then it clicked and I burst out laughing. The other's looked at me as if I was insane as I made my way towards the car.

"Syd." Chess hissed grabbing my arm "He's a freaking vampire." I grinned lazily at them.

"And I'm a suspended Alchemist. Who cares?" I slumped down into the seat and turned to them "Plus it's only Adrian." The man grinned behind me and ran a hand through his messy hair. They all were hesitent to climb in but since I had to the keys and it was my car still in the parking lot they followed my orders.

Adrian pulled away from the curb and glanced at me. "Suspended?" He asked and I shrugged.

"Yea. As in not on the job. Like school but-"

"I know what it means." He chuckled and sent shiver's down my spine "But why?"

"Oh... well it's hard to say why. There is a lot of reason's actually." He seemed to take my answer and try to process it. He then finally nodded.

"So you celebrate."

"That was my idea." Chess slurred from the back. "She was depressed so I brought her out to party." He nodded slowly and turned his head slightly my way.

"I can just imagin." He glanced at me and raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eye's and leaned back into the seat. I could smell ciggerrets and something else.

"Have you been drinking?" I asked him sitting up too fast and making my head spin.

"Nope. I've been off it since the day I realised it was hurting Jill. I'm so good ain't I, Sage." He joked flexing his hands on the wheel. I frowned.

"Who gave you the car?" He chuckled.

"So many questions and your drunk?" I looked at him and he looked at me. The look in his eye's scared me making me look away. He sighed "But if you must know. Abe dropped it off at my new home in the city." He nodded outside. There was a awkward silence before he asked "So where are you staying?" I sighed and told him my adress and my friends would just have to stay with me for the night.

Of cause they didn't object. Epecially when they pulled up to my house and we all scampered out. I turned back to Adrian.
"Thanks." I said with a tight smile. He smiled back.

"It wasn't a problem, Sage. I hope we can see eachother again soon." He smiked before I slammed the door and watched him drive down the street.

REVIEW so I know to continue
