The After Effect
Chapter 1
So hi guys! I haven't written a story for a long while now, as I have had so much going on, but I am really going to try make time for this one. I have been re reading the books lately, and have been really inspired to write again, so hopefully, with lots of encouragement from all you guys, I will be able to finish this story! This takes place in Frostbite, although is a little different. Enjoy!
As I ran towards him I focused in on my target. I threw a punch at his left shoulder, and darted out again. This time I went for his leg, making him stagger, and giving me an opportunity to stake him. I took it, and won, but this time he didn't stop. He picked me up and pushed me up against a wall. It was this part of morning practices that I actually got up for, however rare they were.
I laughed as I looked into his deep brown eyes, but the smile quickly slid off my face once I saw deeper into them. They were filled with passion, and what looked to me like adoration. He quickly cut off all my thoughts however, as his lips connected with mine, and I felt that spark of passion that hit us both so hard. Once e both pulled away for air, we didn't say anything. He smiled at me and grabbed my hand, and pulled me close. We stood, embraced, for what felt like eternity to me. Eventually however, as much as either of us didn't want it, we had to part and leave each others company. 'Until next time Roza' he whispered into my ear, and I got the shivers. How could this man have such an effect on me! I laughed at him and lightly punched his shoulder, before skipping out of the gym, to go find my friends.
Once I had showered and changed into my uniform, I found them all in the dining hall. I quickly got my breakfast, 3 different types of doughnuts, and went to sit with them. They were all talking about some amazing spirit thing Lissa had done. I frowned to myself, thinking back to what had happened to her last year. 'What's all this about' I asked.
'Oh it was so cool' said Christian 'Lissa embarrassed Jesse in front of our whole class this morning before breakfast! She read his aura and told everyone about his feelings for the new math teacher!' This made me worry even more. I knew how much spirit Lissa needed to read auras, as it was a new trick to her, and to delve that far made me even more worried. I quickly ate all my breakfast, and made an excuse to leave. I went and sat in my dorm. I pushed into Lissa's mind, immediately sensing the darkness with in her. I readied myself for the shock rage I was about to get, and drew it all out. I sat waiting for it to hit…but it didn't.
I sat in my room for 30 minutes waiting. I realised it wasn't going to come, but then I felt a weird sensation in my head. I had never felt this before, but it felt familiar. All of a sudden I noticed a bruise on my hand. I looked at it. I didn't remember having this, then I realised it was from practise this morning when Dimitri had got a hit on me. I ran my finger over it, and this is when the story gets strange. As I ran my ringer over it, I felt a warmth come over my, and before my eyes, the bruise disappeared. I sat in shock. I had no idea what had happened to me, but then I realised why I had recognised the feeling. It was the feeling that I got when I was in Lissa's head. The feeling of magic. I must have drawn out some of her magic as well as the darkness. The feeling was utterly strange to me. I was a dhampir. I wasn't supposed to wield magic. I decided there and then on the spot that no one would find out about this. Ever. I stood up and set off to my first class, and that's when I felt it hit.
I felt a blinding rage come over me, and it was directed at one of the two people I loved the most. How could he do this to me. Lead me on, and then just discard me when he felt like it. He had no right playing with my feelings like that. I set off to confront him. I found him in the gym, working out. I used my stealth to run at him and aim a punch, but he stopped me immediately. And pinned me to the floor.

I spun round, and saw a VERY angry Rose charging towards me. As I looked at her in the split seconds before she would reach me, I realised this wasn't her. Something had happened to her, taken over her. I knew just stopping her want enough, and pinned her to the floor. The look in her eyes scared me, this wasn't my Roza, and I wanted her back. She screamed at me for around 20 minutes. I didn't listen. I just kept her pinned until she had finished, and then kissed her softly. All of a sudden, the darkness came out of her, and my Roza was back. I pulled her up and into my arms, with her sobbing like a child. 'I need you' she whispered, and it sent all sorts of emotions through me, but I understood. I fired a message to Alberta saying I needed Rose for a training session, and carried her to the log cabin on the outskirts of the school. We both knew what was about to happen.
So what did you all think! This chapter was only really to set the scene, and all the action starts in the next chapter! Please review, as I really struggle with motivation, and love to hear from my readers! I would really love it if people sent me ideas for the story, and will give mentions to anyone who does! Thanks for reading everyone and hope to hear off all of you!
