I was standing in my room sorting through clothes and packing them into a suitcase. I was running off to Vegas with a bunch of people I didnt know. An hour ago if you had told me this I'd have said that you were crazy and a little bit stupid for believing that but i've found out enough information in these last 60 minutes to turn my world upside down. I guess I should bring you up to date with my story.

An hour earlier.

Walking back from my local town after a spot of shopping I noticed two things, one; it was springtime. The air was still cool but it had a warm edge to it. It was warm enough to not wear a coat but the coolness meant you still neaded a jacket. I was wearing my football style jacket that seemed to be in fashion this season. I saw them in plenty of the shop's windows. I have to say I was pretty annoyed by that, I bought my jacket before there was even a hint of it being in trend and now everyone was wearing them. Still I loved it too much to ditch it now. The second thing I noticed was that someone was following me and had been for about five minutes. I glanced behind me and saw my pursuer, He was freakishly tall and wearing a long leather coat and not too mention he was extrememly gorgeous. I scolded myself when i realised i was checking out my creepy stalker. I was trying to think of a shortcut to my house that would enable me to get away from him as fast as i could but since i was starting to panic my mind was blank. In the time id spent thinking things over my stalker had gained on me. Every instinct in my body told me to run and so i did. i was scared but i made my legs move. I was pretty fast. I allways had been. I excelled in all physical activities in school and my teacher had told me i was unnaturally fast. after id cleared a few streets i chanced a quick look behind me, he was gone. I'd managed to out run him. feeling relief pour over my body i slowed down into a fast walk. Just because i couldnt see him doesnt mean he wasnt there. I was completely freaked out. Why had someone been following me? it wasn't even dark yet. I thought all that creepy stuff went on in the pitch black of the night.

I quickly reached the alley way leading to my house. My parents had bought this house when i was four. It used to be an old farm house but they converted it into a sort of country cottage. My parents werent exactly rich but we were pretty well off and they worked hard for every penny of it. My Dad - Joseph Kelly worked in Advertising, you know those quirky slogans you see for different product brands? Well he writes those with a team of people and my mum - Anna Kelly is a personal assistant to some important bussiness man in the city who keeps her very busy. They very rarely have sick days or even normal days off and they never borrow money. Ever. I know i've been extremely lucky growing up. I had an allowence every week and I have a wardrobe full of nice clothes. Im not spoilt though. My parents have a very firm belief that everyone should earn the nice things in life. They think that know one should get the good stuff free. You can't imagine how proud they where when i landed a summer job last year. For six whole weeks I was the best daughter in the world. They told all their work colleagues about my job answering the phone for some rich dude. I hesitantly walked through the alley, reminding myself that it was day time and nothing bad usually happens when the suns out. Half way through I noticed something moving in the corner of my eye. I couldnt make out what it was but something told me I needed to pick up my pace, I'd started to run again when I felt a hand clasp around my shoulder and push me into the wall. it hurt. i groaned in pain and stared up at the culprit. fear shot through my body and im sure it was seeping out of my pores. There standing before me was the creepy stalker guy. He must have sensed he was hurting me because he loosened his grip though still managing to hold me down firmly. I was so terrified I could barely move, my breathing became loud and rapid. I wanted to push against this guy and run but my body wouldnt co-operate, it just stayed rigid and pathetic against the wall. mustering all my strenght and confidence, I was about to scream and demand that creepy guy let go of me when I saw more movement. i clasped my mouth shut unable to talk again. A blonde pretty girl walked towards me. for a split second i'd thought the girl was going to help me I mean if you saw her walking towards you, you'd hardly think she was going to attack you. To my dismay she took a place standing next too the tall guy. She smiled at me and I felt my whole body relax, I no longer felt the need to get out of there I felt warm and at ease. My attacker let go of me but stayed tense ready to leap out at me if I tried to escape.

The pretty girl took a step closer to me and stared right into my eyes, it almost felt as though she was staring into my soul.

"please dont be affraid, we're not going to hurt you! we just want to talk" I don't know why but I believed every word she said, I was completely calm and believed that they weren't going to harm me. I nodded unsure of what else to do.

"your going to walk on to your house and let me and my friends inside, your not going to alarm anyone, just carry on as usual" her big green eyes stared down at me. At first i wanted to tell her she was crazy if she thought I was going to invite them inside my house but then I had the sudden urge to do just that - yes it seemed the logical thing to do. How rude they must think I was making them stand outside.

"Would you like to come to my house?" i asked. I almost didnt recognise my voice it sounded so dull. almost like it wasnt me speaking. She smiled at me and i lead the way with them following behind.

Once inside I took them into my living room. They sat on my leather sofa both looking like they were expecting something. There was a knock on the door and I looked at the girl uncertain.

"That's the rest of my friends. Would you please let them in?" she smiled at me and I complied without a thought letting in the rest of her group.

I stared back at the strangers in my front room, my head began to clear and I started to remember that I knew none of these people. fear shot through me again. Why had I listened to that girl? I'd have done anything she said. I felt it. the need to do whatever she wanted. It was almost like a burning sensation. There was 6 of them all together. Two girls and four guys. my eyes flickered to the newest female member. something about her looked so familiar. I moved my gaze and one by one took in the strangers. I tried to hide my panic. afterall I had no idea what they even wanted. Surely by now if they'd have wanted to kill me i'd be dead. right? i backed away from them as far as I could until I hit the window.

"Why did I just do that?" my voice cracked in fear when I asked. At first no one answered they all looked at me trying to figure out what to say. Eventually the familiar girl spoke.

"Because she asked you too" i stared at her completely bemused. How was that even a serious answer?

"No. People ask me to do things all the time and I usually have the will power to make my own decision!" i knew my voice sounded hysterical but I had every right to be. A new guy spoke next. Even when he was sitting down I could tell he was tall. Not as tall as the freakishly tall dude, but still pretty tall. He was also really good looking. Infact looking at all the strangers I realised what an attractive bunch of people they were. I didnt know wether I should find it odd that a bunch of strange people, who could potentially be my murderers could be so good looking, surely they should all be bald and grim.

"Maybe, she's just really persuasive" he flashed a cheeky grin and ran his hand through his messily styled hair. I had no idea if these people were toying with me for fun but I did remember the blonde girl saying she wanted to talk. maybe I was grasping at anything hoping for some truth in the statement. I wanted desperately for them not to be crazy murderers. I was screwed if they where. there was too many of them for a start not too mention how stupidly strong the one who had pinned me to the wall had been.

"Allright, you -" I pointed to the girl who had 'persuaded' me back in the alley, she looked nervous. which I thought was particularly silly for a killer.

"You said back there, that you just wanted to talk. Is that true? or where you just trying to get me back here in some sick crazy scheme to kill me?" a few of them stiffled laughs. they really were sick bastards.

"No" she answered, she looked almost hurt by my accusation "We really did just want to talk to you, maybe we should start by explaining who we are... Rose?" she looked at the girl who look so farmiliar to me. I still couldnt pin point what it was but something in me knew her face from somewhere. it almost made me trust her. almost. She stood up and walked forwards a little.

"look, where not psychopaths. if we wanted to kill you, it would have happened by now. we're a lot faster than that. My name is Rose Hathaway." she paused and looked back at her friends unsure wether to carry on, the freakishly tall dude nodded at her to continue.

"i'm your sister." I stared at her in disbelief. I finally understood who they were now. They were obviously looneys who had escaped from somewhere.

"Your crazy. Do you know that?" it was my turn to laugh now, they looked as if theyd expected me to react this way. "You expect me to believe that your my sister? I'm an only child!" I practically shouted the last part. she looked frustrated at me.

"Your not an only child! and I am not crazy!"

"My parents would have told me if I had a sister"

"Just like they've told you that your adopted!"

"Rose!" The blonde girl had shouted. Just like me she must have thought it was particularly rude for her to say.

"And you expect me to believe that, you don't have any proof!" To my dissapointment she crossed the room to her backpack and took out a large brown envelope, that looked a lot like proof to me. My mind started to go into over drive It can't be true! My parents are Joseph Kelly and Anna Kelly. She handed me the envelope and she looked almost guilty about what she was about to show me. My hand started to tremble as I ripped it open. I felt my eyes widen in horror. Sure enough in my hands before me was an adoption certificate with mine and my parents names on it. I tried to think of something to say as I stared at the paper in shock. I wanted to shout at these people and tell them that they were lying. but all I could manage was

"Oh god!" I had to put my hand on the window to hold myself up. "This..this can't be real. I'm not. It can't be!" I could feel tears running down my cheeks. I knew my sentence hadn't made much sense but Rose understood perfectly. She held my arm and sat me on the chair she had recently vacated.

"I'm sorry but this is all true. I need you to listen to me again now. This isn't the only reason we've come here today" I looked into her face i'm not sure what it was that persuaded me, maybe it was the adoption certificate I was still clutching in my hand or maybe it was the pure honest look on her face. As I continued to stare into her face I realised why she was so familiar to me. We looked the same. I was shorter - a lot shorter but the similarities where still there, The nose shape, the lip shape, the cheek bones and even the tan. I had allways thought it strange to have a light tan when my parents happened to be fair skinned. I knew I believed her now. I looked into her face once more and nodded. I didn't think it was much of an indication but she smilled and carried on anyway.

She started to explain about a world I had been oblivious too for nearly nineteen years but apparently belonged in. She talked about Moroi's and Dhampir's and guardian's. About how I was one of these Dhampir's. About how I had so many more opportunities in this new life. She told me how guardian's were short in numbers and how if I wanted too I could train and become one. She explained other things to me but I blanked out after a while. I was still in shock after finding out the people i'd lived with and loved all these years wheren't my parents. I felt betrayed and now my apparent sister was trying to tell me I belonged to the world of vampires. I looked up and saw that all their eyes were on me. I realised that Rose had stopped talking a while ago now. I was a little embarressed at being caught out and mumbled at her

"sorry, what?" She looked at me in pure exasperation. Obviously not pleased at repeating herself.

"I said, are you coming with us?" crap. How long had I spaced out for?

"Going with you? Where?" I swear if looks could kill her glare would have decapitated me right there.

"Vegas?" Huh? she expects me to go to Vegas with her after i've just met her today?

"Why would i go to Vegas with you?"

"Did you listen to anything I just said?"

"Some of it, But your missing the big picture here Rose! you come here tell me the people i've lived with for near enough 19 years aren't my parents and then you tell me that Vampires are real... how do you expect me to-" Before i could answer the Guy with messy brown hair stood infront of me baring a huge grin and I caught a glimpse of all the proof i'd ever need. Fangs. they weren't just a little pointy like human teeth. They were full on fangs. even without feeling them i knew they must be sharp. I shivered. he seemed pleased by this and sat back down, grinning at his friends. They had obviously had a plan before coming here, who would capture me, who would hypnotise me and who walk talk to me and convince me. I dont think this guy had been part of the plan but something told me he didn't listen to other people often. He did his own thing.

"Oh" was all I could say.

"All im asking of you is to come to Vegas with us for a while. I know its hard to put trust in people you dont know but your ticket has allready been paid for. I can teach you about our ways and plus its a free holiday for you! and at the end of it if you want to come back here then you can. I'd leave you alone." she looked into my eyes, I could sense a tone of urgency she wanted me to go with her. I still wasnt sure wether her intentions were good.

"But why vegas?" I'd allways wanted to go to Vegas. Since I was little. I used to flip through the photos in Holiday catalogues longingly since my parents - or who ever they were never took time off work I'd never been on holiday.

"Well Lissa -" she pointed to the blonde girl. "has business to do there anyway, we thought we'd prolong the stay to persuade you." I stared at Lissa, Business? she doesn't look like the workaholic type.

"business?" I asked, Lissa looked up at me I could see she didn't feel comfortable about what she was about to say

"oh, um i'm the queen"

"Queen? you have your own queen?"

"ofcourse we do!" Rose interupted. "Why wouldn't we?" I honestly didn't know why they wouldn't. I mean why not? I guess if they had their own vampire community then they'd need a monarch to lead them. Still I had a lot of thinking to do. hopefully they were going to give me enough time to think about this. She'd offered me more job opportunities and with the current recession in the human world - My world. I knew that even a university degree couldnt definitely secure me a career in the future.

"Oh and another thing. We leave in an hour." So thats why they all looked so impatient. They needed to persuade me to go ASAP.

"An hour? what? why so soon?"

"Because any longer and your parents will be home from work"

"An hour though? i haven't even decided if I want to go yet!" different thoughts were zooming through my mind. different opportunites. Adventure. VEGAS. I realised then that I had pretty much made my mind up. I mean it was almost like a trial. At the end of the holiday I can decide what I want to do. Plus i'd be in Vegas!

"Actually" I piped up "I have" They looked up at me, Their expressions ranged from worry to anxiousness. I thought best to get my answer out sooner rather than later.

"I'll come"

Present.

So that's how I ended up here - in my room packing my suitcase for a holiday with strangers. My name is Azra Arabella Kelly, I'm 19 in a month, Im 5ft 2, I have bright red hair thats curly and messy (sort of like a cross between Rihanna and Ke$ha) I have green eyes and I've just found out that I'm adopted and that I belong to a world of vampires. Yeah. That's alot to take in all in one day - let alone an hour. So stick around because i'm guessing that the next couple of weeks are going to be pretty eventfull.

So, what do you guys think of my new Character? I needed to explain alot of stuff in this first chapter so you dont really get a good feel for her character but hopefully you guys will like her! Will probably do a few different POV's in the future chapters, Maybe get Rose's proper take on whats going on. I tried to not give away alot in this chapter too but hopefully It wasnt annoying! ahah.

Anyway please rate! hope you enoyed it!
