Hey guys! I'm Shannon and this is another Fallen fanfic that I have made. You can go and check my other one out if you want. Please don't forget to review - even if you're just a guest user. I dint want to waste my time doing a story that no body likes.
I awoke with a start. Immediately, I saw a bright white room and I was sat at a white, circle table with 8 other people. Sat next to my right was a girl with purple rim glasses and a few layers of jumpers on. That was a bit unusual but I could hardly talk - I'd been going to a physiatrist since I was 7.
Sat to my left, a guy with brown and golden dreadlocks was still asleep with his head facing down on the table. In fact, all of them were still asleep.
I didn't know what to do. Were they dead? Who put me here? Why was I here? Who were these people? I'd never seen them before in my life and yet, it felt like I'd seen them a thousand times before.
Next to the girl with purple glasses was another girl with curly blonde hair and a rainbow headband in her hair. A perfectly manicured hand was slightly rested under her head - like she was supporting it.
Next to blondie, another blonde. But this was a darker blonde. A blonde that I loved instantly. I couldn't see his face but his body looked like it was built as an athlete and I loved that too. He seemed really familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. Next to drop-dead-gorgeous, was a girl with long, black hair - very much like my own. I also couldn't see her face from here but I could tell she was pretty.
Next to her was a quite tall guy with shaggy, jet black hair that rested upon his shoulder. Even from here, I could tell that he looked quite handsome as well. He had a sunburst tattoo peaking out from the collar on his neck. It sent shivers down my spine.
Next to him was a girl with bright pink hair. Her features were slim and tall.
Next to her, and the guy with the dreadlocks, was a girl with short purple hair, cut in a pixie style. Her face had at least 10 piercings on it and she kinda reminded me of Callie. Minus the purple hair and the piercings. I know that just leaves the face but it's something about her that reminds me of Callie.
"Hello?" I called out but no one answered. "Hello?" I called out even louder but still no one answered.
I didn't just want to sit here. Hell, I didn't even know how I got here. I tried to get out of my seat but I couldn't, like someone had planked me by super glueing the seat of my chair.
With a sigh, I rested my chin upon my fist and decided to wait for the others to wake up.
Maybe about three minutes in, I was just about to fall asleep when they all shot up, gasping for air as I did. However, I wasn't prepared for this and I swear I jumped at least 4 feet into the air, letting out a deafening scream on my way. All heads turned to me and all of them were surprised apart from the girl with purple glasses.
"I thought you guys would never wake up!" I let out a sigh of relief. "Well at least I could rule you all being dead off my list. Now because I'm pretty sure I just had a heart attack when you all awoke like you'd been dead, I think I'm owed an explanation as to what. The. Hell. Just happened and where. The. Fuck. Am I?" More surprise etched across their faces. "Anyone? Yes? No? Maybe?" Still silence. I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Someone please speak. I was just starting to convince myself that I wasn't crazy after all." Still silence. I tried to get out of my seat. This time, I managed to stand up but an invisible hand punched me back down. "Hey!" I shouted. "I have the right to leave you know! I've studied law! You can't keep me here without a warrant!" I yelled again, into the air, but no answer. I put my head in my hands. "I just want to go home." I whispered.
The girl with the purple glasses coughed. "Well, um, shall we all do introductions? I know who you all are from Sword and Cross but she doesn't." She pointed towards me.
My head shot up. "Thank you! Someone who speaks!"
"We all speak. I just think they're in a state of shock."
"Luce. Lucinda Prince." I said.
"Penn. Pennyweather Van Syckle-Lockwood." That was a name to get around but I could already tell we would be fast friends.
"Y'all right Penn. we should introduce ourselves. I'm Gabbe. Or Gabriel. But I'd prefer it if you call me Gabbe." The blonde with the rainbow headband said with a southern twang.
"Gabriel. Like the angel?" I said and heard a collective gasp. "Touchy subject? Ok. That's cool. I just happen to like angels."
"No, no, that's alright honey. Yeah, like the angel. I guess you could say that."
"Roland." The guy on my left, with the dreadlocks, spoke, giving me a wave.
"Molly." The girl with the piercings said. She had attitude to her voice that made her remind me of Callie even more.
"Annabelle." The girl with pink hair said. Her voice was light and playful.
"Hey, I'm Cam." The tall, handsome guy with black hair to his shoulders said flashing me a smile. Usually, I would've gone for his type but he was one of those over confident guys. Ones that I didn't like and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"Arriane." She glanced towards Cam and stifled a laugh. "I like you already."
"Thanks. I think." I said as my eyes shifted to the only person who hadn't told me their name. Our eyes locked place and it was like the room and everyone else in it had fallen away.
I noticed I'd been staring a while and looked away, blushing. "Sorry." I whispered, so low that I was sure he hadn't heard it.
"It's ok." He said back. God, I loved his voice. I could listen to it all day. I could go to sleep listening to it. And those eyes, where they violet? I looked up to meet his eyes again. He was slightly blushing as well. I loved his blush. "Daniel." Daniel. I loved that name. And the way he said it! Not confident but not shy either. The moment I laid eyes upon Daniel, I knew I was going to like him. They all looked at me now and I realised that I'd only told Penn my name.
"Oh yeah, Lucinda. But most people call me Luce." I smiled a smile I hadn't smiled in a long time.
Suddenly, call it cliché but, a puff of smoke erupted in the middle of the table and a book appeared.
I grabbed it. "Fallen by Lauren Kate. Hmm." On the front cover was a girl with black hair to her waist with her head in her hands and a black dress. I flipped it over and started reading the blurb.
Some angels are destined to fall.
"What is this?" Roland asked and tugged the book out of my hand.
"Hey! Give it back! I love angels!" I tried to take the book but Roland looked skeptically at the book and then me.
"Why do you love angels?" The words weren't mean like I was expecting them to but soft and gentle.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know?" Came out but it sounded more like a question.
"Na-ah. Not good enough."
I looked around the table and everyone's attention was on me. I took a deep breath.
"It...br...ngs...m...pees." I mumbled.
"What?"
"It...bings...m...pees." I said a bit louder.
"Wha-?"
"It brings me peace!" I almost shouted and Roland flinched. "It brings me peace ok? It somehow, on a completely strange level, reminds me of home." I closed my eyes and held out my hand. After a few seconds, I felt the book back in my hand.
Instant. Intense. Weirdly familiar...The moment Luce looks at Daniel she knows she has never felt like this before.
"Yeah. What the Hell is this?" I said, flipping it over and back. "First it mentions my name and now yours?" I point to Daniel. "Coincidence? No. I don't believe in coincidences. But I'm really hooked now and I wanna read it so..."
Except she can't shake the feeling that she has. And with him - a boy she doesn't remember ever setting eyes on. Will her attempt to find out why enlighten her - or destroy her?
Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen is a thrilling story about forbidden love.
"Well this is weird." Molly stated.
"Yeah. Tell me about it." Annabelle added.
"It's too close to the truth for it to just be a story. I think an Oracle must have written it." Cam said.
"If an Oracle written it then this book is about the future." Daniel said, hope glinting his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but am I missing something? Oracles? Aren't they people who can see the past present an future?" Penn says.
"Yeah they are. But they are angels with foreseer abilities. Their visions always come true unless they tell the person and that person wishes to change what happens. But apart from that, yeah, they are people who can see the past present and future and having one on your side would give you a great advantage point." I said automatically and everyone stared at me with mouths open. "What? I had to do a research task on angels for my R.E assessment. But that doesn't matter right now. I can already tell that the book is about angels and that the two main characters - me and Daniel - are either both angels or one of us is at least. It's totally cliché."
"Well let's just read it and find out what happens ok?" Gabbe's voice carried out over the table, silencing everyone. "Who want to read the prologue?"
After a few seconds of silence, Annabelle spoke up. "I will."
I handed the book over to Annabelle and she began.
