Hey guys! So for not updating in a while I've decided to go ahead and post a new story I've had a really good idea about for the past few months. Tell me what you think of the prologue and tell me whether you guys think I should continue it or not.
*Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to MR. (or any references I make to the Twilight Saga: New Moon) - Stephanie Meyer and J.P. own these rights and anything related….sadly.
(A/N: If your wondering what this story has to do with twilight saga: New Moon you'll understand as the story progresses, but this story is not going to be a crossover between Twilight & MR. It's just about MR.)
Okay enough of my rambling. Enjoy the prologue!
Read on!
Chapter 1: Prologue
The cold night air swept through the forest sending creatures to their dens and nests for warmth. There was not a sound except for the 'THUD! THUD!' of massive paws slapping against the cool earth. The creature's long claws sinking into the dead earth at its feet. The creature raised its long snout and sniffed the air. The scent of fresh fox wafted through the creature's nose. With a triumphant growl the creature lunged.
Before the small fox, which was hiding in a pile of nearby shrubs, could run the creatures teeth which glistened in the dark moonlight closed around the prey's throat. Cutting through the fur and flesh as if it were butter. The fox gave a finale wail before a sickening crack was heard and it went limp in the monster's massive jaws. The creature dropped the dead heap to the ground and raised its now crimson stained jaws to the sky and let out a horrendous howl. The howl tore through the silent night air and filled it with renewed fear.
Then the creature thrusted its jaws into the prey tearing a huge junk of meat and bone from the bloody mess and chopped down on it with its razor sharp teeth. As the creature ate its kill other animals watched in horror as the evil specimen finished its meal licking the blood off its chops. Then the creature turned and padded away through the forest its dark ebony fur with silver streaks glistening within the shadows as it disappeared into the night without a trace.
Max P.O.V. (A/N: Max's P.O.V. will be done in normal writing. Just a heads up.)
I woke up on the floor of my bedroom with my clothes that I was wearing all torn and hanging on my body in rags. I groaned and sat up as I glanced over at the alarm clock on my mahogany side table. The clock read 5 o'clock in the morning. I groaned again and sat up then using my comfy bed as support I stood up and suddenly got a head rush. I looked in my full-body mirror and cried silently in horror. I looked hideous. I sighed and went to the bathroom attached to my room and locked the door.
Then I tore off the rest of my clothes and hopped into the shower. After a 10 minute shower. I hopped out and wrapped a fluffy gray towel with light blue swirls around my body after drying my hair so it was just damp. Then I went to the mirror and blow dried my hair. After it was fully dry I grabbed my straightener and straightened my tumble weed of hair into smooth layers of golden/ bronze hair that hung just below my collarbone.
After applying a little bit of mascara and eyeliner, I headed out to my room to see my sister, Angel (who was 7 years old), sitting on the edge of my bed still in her pajamas. I smiled at her and asked, "Hey sweetie, what are you doing up so early?"
Angel grinned back at me and said, "I woke up when I heard you in the shower. So I thought maybe I could help you pick out an outfit for school today since your normal attire is mainly black skinny jeans, combat boots, and a large wrinkly shirt."
I glared playfully at her for mentioning my wardrobe choice, but then nodded and said, "Sure honey. What do you think I should wear today?"
Angel smiled brightly and told me to sit on my bed and wait. Then she dashed over to the entrance of my room where two bags from GAP were placed. She ran back over to me and pulled out a cute ivory blue shirt with a black hawk outline on the chest. Then she pulled out a black frilly skirt that looked actually pretty nice.
I nodded and asked, "Is this skirt shorter then half-thigh?"
Angel nodded and said, "Yes, but the good part is that it doesn't show any private business and will look amazing with the shirt.
I nodded my approval then walked over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of underwear and a bra. Then I turned to Angel to see she had laid out a blue cami with a grayish- somewhat-see-through cotton shirt to go over it and a pair of faded ripped skinny jeans on the bed. On the floor by the clothes was a new pair of black Adidas with a blue check mark on the outside of the right shoe.
I smiled at Angel and she giggled with happiness because she knew I wouldn't wear anything else. You see that's why I love her so much. She's just well….an Angel.
Oh! I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maximum Martinez, but I go by Max. You call me anything else, but that and you're in for a long, long punishment. Just a heads up. I'm 17 years old and am currently a junior at Oakgrove High School in the town of Alton, Illinois. It's a really nice town if you asked me. Anyways, I have tan skin, plain brown eyes, and golden/bronze hair which I'm told by my mother, but I think its just a plain dirty blonde. Not really pretty like most of the girls at school.
I have one little sister, Angel. She has beautiful waist-length golden blonde curly hair. Her eyes are two amazing bright blue orbs. An she has a tan a little lighter then mine. We live with only our mother, Katrina Martinez. She looks nothing like me and Angel. While we have blondish hair and blue and brown eyes. She has fiery red hair, pale skin, and has emerald green eyes. Me and Angel take more after our dads. Yup, you heard me. Angel and I are half-sisters (even though I think of her as my full-sister).
When our mom, Katrina was in college she met my dad, John Arrow. They first started to date then John wanted my mom to move in and then I happened. After my mom found out she was pregnant with me, she told John. He was thrilled I guess and then they got married. After about eight years of marriage of John, my mom, and me being a happy family. John was diagnosed with Leukemia and it was the type that wasn't able to be cured. He lived with the cancer for about another three months before he finally died from his fight.
After John died my mom wasn't the same for a while. She would mope around and stay in bed not even getting up to feed me or pay the bills. I was the one who started paying for food and bills along with other necessities. It wasn't till she met Angel's father, Mathew, about a year after my dad had died; that she gained back most of her old self.
After getting married in February after dating for only a month and a half. Mom and Mathew were so happy my mom seemed to forget all about me. An Mathew didn't even care for me. They both just acted like I didn't exist. Thus leaving me again to fend for myself. The following year after the couple was married, Mom became pregnant in late January, then after nine months, Angel was born. Mathew and Mom were so happy. I was ten at the time.
Angel seemed to be the canter of attention for Mathew and my mom. Me being the forgotten child. At first, I had hated Angel with my whole life. She was perfect and was loved by a mom and dad. As to where I was the outsider in my own home. So when I turned 13, I told my mom I was moving out. She didn't even try to stop me. This was our conversation before I had left.
*Flashback*
"Mom, I need to talk to you," said a very annoyed Max. Her mother, Katrina, glanced up at her then went back to rocking her "precious Angel".
Max huffed and said, "I've decided to leave and live on my own."
Katrina shrugged and said while still looking in awe at her 3 year old, "Whatever."
Max felt tears sting her eyes as she looked one last time at her mother then she turned and grabbed the small suitcase she had packed with money, food, water, clothes, a teddy bear her Aunt had given her, and a small silver charm bracelet with a single charm which was a red heart with diamond studded wings which was given to her on her 5th birthday by her dad.
With out a single glance, Max slipped on her shoes and grabbed her coat before she opened the door and walked out.
Katrina didn't even hear the door clothes because all her attention was on little Angel who was giggling as her mom blew on her belly.
Max walked down the street with her suitcase in hand. Pulling out her phone in which she had paid for with her own money, she called her friend, Lara.
"Hello?" Answered Lara on the third ring.
Max gasped in relief and said, "Hey Lara it's Max. Can I crash at your house for a while?"
There was a pause and some distant voices before Lara asked, "How long?"
Max thought for a moment then said, "About a month or two?"
There was another pause then Lara said, "Sure, are you walking or do you need a ride?"
Max sighed again and said, "I'm walking I'll see you in a few."
Lara agreed and said, "Okay, see ya Max. Be careful. Bye."
Max smiled at her friend's care and said, "I will. Bye."
*End of Flashback*
So you can see that my mom really didn't care for me. So I stayed with Lara for a month or two before my mom had called me saying she was worried about me. I knew she was lying and wanted something so I just got straight to the point and asked. She had sighed and said that she needed to get back to work and needed me to baby sit Angel while she was gone.
I told her no and was about to hang up when I hear angel in the background and ask for me. When my mom gave her the phone Angel had said that she missed me and wanted her big sister home. That had gotten to me so I agreed to come home, but my mom couldn't tell me what to do anymore and I was free to do as I please.
She had agreed with reluctance an so here I am today. If your wondering what happened to Mathew. Let's just say him and my mom got divorced because he had gone off with some chick while my mom and him were married. So yeah. Alright enough of this back to the main time frame.
I watched as Angel dashed out of my room then I went to get dressed. After getting ready, I headed down stairs and grabbed an apple before grabbing my keys and heading out. Mom would drive Angel to school. So I hopped into my Honda Civic and drove to school for a Monday full of torture. You'll see what I mean soon.
So what did you guys think? Should I continue or not? R&R?
