Diary of a Young Lycan Girl

An "Underworld" Fanfiction

By: Diva'sDream

Chapter 1: Prologue

"Bloods!"

The cry rang through the empty streets of New York City, like a gunshot in the still, humid summer night. Hmm…you know, it's kind of ironic to have mentioned gunshots just then…because, that's exactly what followed the Lycan man's cry. There came surprised gasps and cries. The others started running for cover, scared and trying desperately to get to safety, and deeply concerned for the safety of the others in their group as well…especially since their was a child in the group…a baby girl.

They all had known it'd been too dangerous to venture outside of their lair like this, without a lot of protection and weapons with them, but they'd needed food. They had nearly run out and were in desperate need of some more, and plus, craved the fresh air, after having been held up in an old, abandoned mansion for two months. They'd been careless on this night, and were now to pay the price for it…for the Death Dealers had found them. And now, they were all left wondering why the hell they hadn't listened to their instincts telling them not to go out in the first place, while at the same time trying their best to escape the Vampires that were now attacking them full-on. In their heads, they knew it would end up being a massacre...that they were all going to die, but they at least had to fight them.

"Alexandra! Take Hope and get out of here, now!" one of the men cried to the Lycan woman we was trying to protect, standing in front of her to defend her from attacks. The woman was carrying with her a small infant, trying her best to shield the baby from what was happening around them. The man looked back quickly, finding the woman still their, hesitant to leave behind her husband, Elijah, being completely terrified that she'd never see him again. "Go!"

And with that, the Lycan woman, Alexandra, took off running down the street, her tiny baby wrapped in a blanket and held protectively against her chest. She was so frightened that she was tearing up, but tried as much as she could to hold back the tears. She couldn't get caught, she just couldn't! She had to save her baby…her little Hope. She ran as fast as she could, suddenly hearing shouts and then three or four sets of running footsteps behind her. They were after her! The Death Dealers were gonna try to kill her and her baby! "No! Oh God, please no!"

Her breathing became a bit ragged as she continued to run, beginning to lose her breath. But she couldn't stop. She had to get away from them! She had to save her baby! She wasn't about to just let them kill Hope. "I don't care what happens to me, but I have to save my baby!" She ran and she ran, and finally turned a sharp corner around the side of a building. Maybe she could shake them enough to get away. No such luck. Alexandria suddenly found herself skidding to a stop, facing a dead-end. She spun around on her heels as quickly as possible. If she was lucky, maybe she could backtrack and keep going in another direction before they got to her.

Again, Alexandra wasn't so fortunate. As soon as she'd turned around, she gasped loudly in surprise. For, when she turned, she found herself facing four guns surrounding her, all pointed at her head. Hope was crying by now, frightened. Alexandria held her daughter close, trying to shield her from the Vampires that she was now facing. They merely glared at her and kept their guns pointed at the both of them, showing absolutely no sympathy or compassion at all for the young mother and child before them. They were going to kill her and Hope and she knew it.

"Please, wait!" she cried out desperately at seeing one of them about to pull the trigger. She'd surely die if she were hit with one of those bullets, as would her baby—that much was certain. They were Silver Nitrate bullets. The Vampires had copied the rounds of Ultraviolet ammunition months ago that the Lycans had created. To her great relief, however, the Vampire didn't fire.

"What!" he growled at her instead, waiting impatiently to see what small plea she could offer to try and save her and her baby's own pitiful lives. They kept the guns all still pointed at her, however, not trusting enough of her to lower their weapons. For all they knew, she might run off if they gave her half the chance. And they just couldn't allow that. She was a Lycan, and they weren't going to let her and the pup escape.

Alexandra held the screaming baby close, shielding her as she stood their, trembling under the gaze of the four Vampires. She looked around briefly at the Vampires holding guns to her head. She knew that her pleas would probably fall on deaf ears, but she just had to try something. She couldn't let Hope die. She wouldn't. "Please!" she said, her voice full of pain and sadness. "Not my baby. She's merely an infant. Please, don't kill her."

"She's still filthy Lycan trash, nonetheless. Give us one good reason why she shouldn't parish along with the rest of your pathetic little race of rabid, stupid dogs." The man's eyes were cold, cruel as they stared down the young woman with the infant child. Alexandria had to try hard to keep her temper in check with how he was now insulting her kind—insulting her child, her little baby girl.

"Because she has done nothing wrong—she's a baby!"

"But she will! All of you trash do at some point in your lives."

"Everyone makes at least one mistake in their lives—Lycan or not! You can't kill someone as an infant simply on that note due to a prejudgment such as that!"

There was a very long pause as the four Vampires stood glaring at the woman and child before them—filthy little creatures in their eyes. They seemed to actually be thinking about the request, and about what she'd said in argument to the man. After what seemed an eternity to Alexandra, though in reality was only about a minute, one of them stepped forward and spoke. She was obviously the one in command of the four that'd gone after the Lycans. "Alright, Lycan. We shall honor your request and spare the child," she said coldly, no emotion save for spite in her voice. Hope's mother let out a relieved breath as the Vampires' guns were lowered. Maybe they'd get out of this alive after all.

Gently, Alexandra cradled her little one caringly against herself, rocking her softly to try and comfort the still crying infant. "Thank you. Thank you so very much," she said, her voice shaking a bit with sudden joy, a small smile playing on her pretty young face. Her little Hope would be just fine…and they'd be alright. Elijah would be so happy to see that they were alright when they got back to him. Although, she couldn't help but think that something still didn't seem right. She hadn't even seen it coming, not expecting what happened next at all.

"Take the child from her," the Vampire woman ordered all of a sudden, her tone even and emotionless, even as she commanded such a terrible thing.

Alexandria's gaze shot up from her child's face as she heard this, shocked and completely horrified now, the smile gone—replaced with a look of pure terror. "No…" she said softly in disbelief, slowly backing away from the three Vampires now coming towards her. She held Hope tightly to her chest, the child now screaming in fear. Oh God, no—this just couldn't be happening to them. "No!"

She tried her best to put distance between them, and the baby and her, but to no avail. Within seconds, the two men in the group were at her sides, restraining her arms while the other woman in the group ripped a screaming Hope from her arms and the first woman—the leader or the group—pointed a gun once more at her head, all while Alexandra struggled madly to get them away from these monsters, trying desperately to get to her daughter as they took Hope from her. "Hope!" she cried, now kneeling at the Vampires' feet as the two men held her down in place by her arms, forcing her to stay on her knees. "No! Please, not my baby! Don't take my little Hope from me! Please, leave us be! No! Hope!"

The gunshot that followed rang loudly through the streets of New York City, instantly catching the attention of Elijah, the only Lycan in the group left still alive, and the father of the baby whose mother had just been killed. "Oh my God… Alexandra… Hope… No!" he thought to himself as he stared in shock down the street that his wife and daughter had just gone down to try and escape the Death Dealers. He was in complete disbelief. How could they be dead? He'd just seen them a few moments ago!

He'd become distracted by the sound, and the thought of what he knew had just happened to Alexandra and Hope. Unfortunately, this was just long enough for a Death Dealer to sentence Elijah to the same fate of his wife, the Silver Nitrate in the bullet going straight to his bloodstream, killing him almost instantly…leaving young Hope orphaned and at the mercy of the Vampires who had just destroyed her entire world…

Disclaimer: As you pretty much guessed I was going to say, no, I don't own the movie "Underworld". I wish I did, but I don't. The only thing that is mine is the characters in this fanfiction, save for any of the ones I may or may not mention in the story from the movie, like Lucian or Viktor or someone like that.

A/N: Well, there's the prologue. Please be kind—this is my first "Underworld" fanfiction. I hope you like it. The idea just came to me as I was watching it with a friend one day. I saw the subway scene at the beginning and got the idea. And some of the characters, the setting, and things like that are from an RPG I'm in for "Underworld". If you like it, then I'll continue the story soon. Please R&R! Constructive criticism is welcome, but no flames please. I did the best I could and this is my first time doing an "Underworld" story. It'll probably end up in the end with an "M" rating, but I'm not sure. It may or may not, depending on what I decide to do with it. But for now, I think I can keep it at "T". Thanks so much for reading. See ya all later! (Smiles and waves goodbye to readers)
