Undead Love
Chapter 1
"May I see your passport?"
The thin plain looking brunette could never be confused with the raw beauty of a Moroi but there was something about her eyes that sent pangs of regret to my heart. They were a light jade green and bore into my soul just as Lissa's did.
I looked away quickly and rummaged through my bag slung over my arm. I pulled out the passport and handed it over the desk. There really was no use in thinking about Lissa, I had to complete my task no matter how much I wanted to stay and protect Lissa. I shoved all thoughts of her out of my mind except for that sliver of awareness I had for her emotions. She was depressed but not to the extent that she had been in the past. But of course she would be upset, she just found out I had been lying to her and then I just left her without attempting to say goodbye. In fact I tried to avoid one at all costs but she caught me on the way out.
"…-or coach?" I realized that I had been caught in my thoughts again. "Which ever is available first" I replied tight and direct. The woman looked down, "Okay there is a seat available in first class for a flight leaving at 8:30 for Siberia" the woman typed a few more things into her computer and looked up "Will you be paying with cash or credit?" "Cash" I replied laying down the right amount of cash not meeting her eyes. I knew she would be giving me an odd look. Why would a teenager be looking for the first direct flight to Siberia of all places? And why would she have so much cash on hand?
I was grateful that Adrian had agreed to lend me the cash I needed to do what I needed to do. I then felt a bit remorseful at the thought. Adrian had always been flirty with me but I figured that had been in his nature but as I was leaving he revealed to me that he had been very serious the entire time. I hadn't had the capacity to think more about it at the moment but I really was surprised and, despite my earlier objections to him, I was flattered. But there was no way I could ever return his feelings. Images of Dimitri surfaced in my mind and I shuddered at the fact that I was going off to kill the sweet perfection that was the man I loved so dearly. My other half, the piece of my soul. Who now happened to be the thing I despised most. A Strigoi.
The woman handed me a ticket over the desk and mumbled something about having a nice flight. I lifted my carry on of a few shirts and pairs of jeans (I had enough money to buy whatever I needed) and I strode to the end of the airport where my plane was boarding. I had bought the ticket right in the nick of time because they were about done boarding when I approached. I handed my ticket to the boarding attendant and with a quick glance at my ticket than me he let me board. I climbed into the small cabin and found my seat.
I slumped into the seat and let my mind find Lissa. She was with Christian now and, although frantic about me leaving, was comforted by Christian's presence. I knew I was leaving her in good hands.
I came back to myself and stared out the window. We were just beginning to take off and the sun was bright on my side of the plane.
I shut my window and closed my eyes. I had a long journey ahead of me but I had to stay strong. The plane was in the air and I was on my way.
Off to kill the man I loved.
So here is my first chapter in my version of what happens next in VA. I know it's a bit boreing but it is pretty much the preface to the story. Let me know what you think. I'm open for suggestions but I'm working on the nest chapter now.
