A/N: So this story is going to follow the book pretty closely, at least for the first few chapters then I might decide to go in a slightly different direction with some story lines. The only main difference is that the main paring will be Zoey/Aphrodite, so if you don't like don't read. This will just be a short prologue type chapter, so if enough people like it then I'll continue.
This chapter starts when Zoey spots Aphrodite and Erik in the hallway when she arrives at the house of night. The quote that starts off this chapter is from page 59 in the 7th chapter of Marked.
My version of Marked: Prologue
Zoey's p.o.v.
I felt my head begin to shake back and forth, back and forth. At the same moment he cried "No!" and tried to push her out of the way so that he could move toward me.
At that moment, the girl, that was on her knees in front of the guy, noticed that he wasn't talking to her so she turned her head to look in my direction. When she saw me, her eyes shot up to my face, and when her gaze locked with mine, I felt my breath catch in my throat. She was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen.
However, this was not the time to think about that. They had seen me!
"Move, move, move!" I kept yelling at myself in my head over and over, but my body, it seemed, had decided to no longer obey my commands. Trapped in the girls gaze, my body stood there unmoving until a noise to my left made me jump and broke me out of the weird spell or whatever, that I had been trapped under.
I turned to the left and glanced down the hall, afraid of what else I might encounter in these dark hallways. A sigh of relief escaped my mouth when I saw Neferet walking toward me. She smiled at me and gestured for me to continue down the hall with her. I tried to smile back at her convincingly, but knew that it was a failed attempt when her smile faded into a look of concern.
"Is everything alright, Zoey? Is your headache still bothering you?" She asked, stopping in front of a large wooden door.
"Just a little," I replied. I definitely wasn't going to tell her about the scene, I'd just witnessed. "I think I'm just scared to meet my new roommate." That might not have been what was bothering me but it wasn't a lie, I just hoped that vampyres or fledglings were not everything that you read about in books.
"Do not worry, Zoey, soon this will all feel right to you." She said, her smile now back on her face, as she opened the door to reveal an amazing courtyard.
Even with the memory of those beautiful blue eyes, as they spotted me in the hallway, still fresh in my mind, I couldn't help but gawk at the scene spread out in front of me, as my mouth flopped open. "Welcome to the House of Night, and your new home." I heard Neferet say beside me.
The large courtyard was surrounded by old, castle like buildings. After what felt like hours of just staring, but was probably only a few minutes, I noticed that there was movement all around me. The courtyard was filled with fledglings, that when they passed me, I could see their eyes move to my mark. Some whispered hellos to me, but others only stared, which made me feel worse than I already felt.
A/N: Thank you for reading my story, I hope you liked it. What did you guys think of this first chapter? Do you think I should continue this story? I know it was short but I promise to make the next one longer. PLZ review and feel free to tell me if there was anything you didn't like or that I should improve.
