Chapter One:
"everyone wants to believe in forever but the truth is: everything changes, and nothing stays."
My entire life changed that day.
"Rose Mazur?" the lady asked as she walked into the diner where i worked. her hair was done up into a neat bun and had little crystal pins that almost looked like a tiara.
"No, sorry, my last name is Hathway. you've got the wrong Rose." i filled Mrs. Valentines' coffee cup.
"Oh, of coarse you would think thats your last name." she said half to herself "well, i have a lot to tell you then. my name is Tatianna Ivashkov."
But i think i need to tell you more of the back story before any of that makes sense.
My alarm clock sounded like it was trying to wake a deaf person. it screamed in my ear so i groaned, rolled over and turned it off. it was 11:30 but i still needed an alarm clock for me to wake up on time for work. i threw on my uniform and tied my hair into a bun and then walked out to head to the diner where i waitressed.
"two minutes late Rose. what will i do with you?" my co-worker and best friend Ivy said.
"Someone took Mrs. Valentines' purse. i had to nock him out." i threw on my apron and took a notepad out of the drawer. this place was adorable. it was a '50s vintage diner that actually looked good.
"Anyone else you would be like 'well, thats your problem.' but you always help that crazy old lady. is Rose Hathaway going soft?"
"everyone always picks on weak people and you know i cant stand that!" i turned to a customer "may i get you anything, sir?"
"i know, Rose, im only teasing you." she giggled her adorable little giggle that reminded me slightly of a toddler. "we are having that deal on the sliders, you know? three for a buck? so today will be extra busy... you ready for this Hathaway?"
"Bring it on, Lewis!" i sliced a piece of apple pie and stuck my tongue at Ivy.
"okay... that was harder than i thought." Ivy admitted packing up her note pad and apron. "lock up for me?"
"of coarse," i was wiping the counters down. she waved and then walked out. it was almost 11 at night and that ment only about 45 minutes until we closed but people rarely came in this late so Ivy always went home early, which i didnt mind i liked spending time alone here. it was kind of llike my sanctuary. i threw an Avenged Sevenfold cd in and turned the volume all the way up. "hey kid! do i have your attention? i know the life you've been living! life so reckless tragedy endless. welcome to the family!" i sang algond as i mopped.
i heard someone laugh and i jumped. i saw a pretty girl with platinum blond hair and pretty green eyes smiling at me. i turned the music off. "may i get you anything?" i walked behind the counter, blushing. i never sang in front of anyone. only when i was all alone and completly into the music.
"umm, just a slice of pie. cherry, please?" her voice seemed sweet.
"of coarse." i sliced the pie and handed it to her. i held up a can of whipped cream, she nodded and i poured a perfect swirl on top of the pie. "watcha doing out so late? i mean this is a great neighborhood but its still kinda dangerous." i asked her.
"im not worried." she said simply, like it was just as easy as breathing. some one as sweet and innocent as her walking alone.
"ive never seen you around. its a small town everyone knows everyone."
"im new here. my names Lissa Dragomir."
yeah its insanely short but its just the beginning i promise the next chapter will be alot longer!
DISCLAIMER(since i forgot it at the beginning): i do not own vampire academy. or the song Welcome To The Family because the amazing band Avenged Sevenfold owns that. but i do own that little quote at the beginning (the whole "everything changes nothing stays" thing) because i did in fact write that!
but anyway please review!
