Author's Note: Hello everyone it's Cheyenne The Ace and this is going to be the first chapter of Sweet Bladed Juniper which is the story about fifteen year old Juniper " June " Swan - the half sister to Bella Swan - and how she becomes a vampire slayer. Just so we're clear the vampire slayer in this universe isn't similar to the Buffyverse so that means June isn't chosen to become a slayer, she's trained to become one. So that everyone understands this story will not have character bashing but the Swan sisters hold slight resentment towards each other but they attempt to get along for the sake of their parents ( meaning June's mother is still with Charlie ). I'd like to take this at a more slow pace because I'd like for everyone to get to know June and the dark secrets of Forks.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. I do, however, own the writing, the plot, and the characters as well as the fictional place called Hex and first type vampires.
Sweet Bladed Juniper
Chapter One
A little wicked
that's what he calls me
Cause that's what I am, that's what I am
The sound of raw, beautiful music played as a young woman - in her twenties - sat in a pale shaded vanity while humming along to the song. She was around 5'9'' at the most having a lithe and a bit muscular build with long slender fingers that had been freshly painted a rich shade of red and seem to shine against the light. If you looked closely you could see that those hands held callouses and scars from cutting them too much accidentally. A lipstick tube that held a similar shape to a gold bullet had been uncapped and revealed a darker shade of red that soon coated once soft pink lips.
No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne
No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne
Beware the patient woman, cause this much I know
Dark shadows rimmed around twin pools of pale blue that were alert and sharp. " No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne..." she murmured running a brush through her hair," One of these days a-coming, I'm gonna take that boy's crown. " A wooden brush with soft bristles rain through her tight curls which loosened them. The once beautiful pale golden waves of her youth had disappeared and were replaced with a deep burgundy shade and those burgundy waves were tucked away to reveal ruby and gold studs - her favorite things, she'd say.
There's a serpent in these still waters lying deep down
To the king, I will bow, at least for now
One of these a-coming, I'm gonna take that boy's crown
Muscular legs are covered in pale scars and have been encased with comfortable ink colored leather while a similar shaded bustier covers her upper body while the same young woman is looking for the familiar black lacquer heels that hold a splash of blood underneath ( a crimson smile appears when she remembers the day she gets them. ) and while the music plays she takes a seat in her chair and slips those special heels on before examining herself in the mirror. Soon a smirk has stretched onto her face. The only time she turns her head is when the door clicks open.
Cause I am, I am a little wicked
I am, I am
Hands red, hands red just like he said
I am a little wicked
The woman that steps inside looks a little older and her skin was a shade darker than chocolate. Her dark hair was short and curled secured with a dark headband while her curvy figure was clad in a gray beaded sequin flapper dress and a pair of onyx colored heels but the one thing that comes to attention is her eyes. They're alert and whiskey colored with flecks of gold in them but are filled with mischief and delight. " Oh. Oh my,'' The beauty in black purrs as she strides towards the flapper and wraps an arm around her,'' You look divine. " A giggle slips from the flapper who brushes her body closer to her lover. " Mmm, but you look better than I do sugar,'' she coos reaching a gloved hand to cup her jaw and leans forward.
No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne
I'll be sitting high up in that throne, he'll be down there getting stoned
Beware the patient woman, cause this much I know
No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne
The beauty in black downright sighs as she sinks deeper into the kiss while feeling a gloved hand reach to grip her hair and both women are battling dominance but a single voice makes them pull away. " Naughty, naughty little girls, you know it isn't good to start something neither of you will be able to finish. " It holds an accented drawl and that's enough to make the flapper and beauty in black pull away and, surprisingly, their painted lips were not smeared.
Cause I am, I am a little wicked
I am, I am
Hands red, hands red just like he said
I am a little wicked
Whiskey and Pale Blue eyes watch carefully at the man before them that has his calloused hands shoved into his pockets. His skin was darkly tanned but the freckles brushes against his nose were visible if you looked closely while dark stubble brushes against his skin and his long, full, dark hair has been pulled away into a low bun and his green eyes held just as much mischievous and delight as the flapper. He's clad in a light gray three piece suit and a dark blue tie was visible to see. He leaned casually against the door but a lazy smile has appeared onto his lips. " But darling,'' Flapper begins while the beauty in black keeps her arms wrapped around the woman,'' Who's to say we couldn't finish it ? " Those same whiskey eyes take a dangerous edge.
As I lay me down to sleep
I will not scream, I will not weep
If he should die before he wakes
I'll pray the Lord his soul to take
He clicks his tongue at that and shaking in his head in mock disappointment. " You remember our rule ladies, it's Business first then pleasure afterwards. " Flapper gives a pout as she feels the beauty in black squeeze her waist and a shiver hits her spine when the man leans towards her and whispers the words that send a fire creeping in her belly. " I an assure you that we'll take good care of you if the mission is a success. " And the smile he sends her way shows dark promise. " You remember where we're going don't you Doll ? " The Man asked when the Beauty in Black goes to grab a rather worn out leather jacket and slips it on. " Of course. Champagne Dreams correct ? " She responds and they nod,'' And I'll be at Emery's been to the place before so I'll know where it is. " Soon all three of them are leaving their home with weapons sheathed away in hidden places and hidden chains filled with vials of ambrosia hidden away. Two cars that were of different designs but the same glossy shade of black. Any additional weapons that were needed have been placed away in trunks and music plays from separate radios.
Cause I am, I am a little wicked
I am, I am
Hands red, hands red just like he said
I am a little wicked...
The beauty in black lets a smile appear on her face as she drives while the beautiful night stares down onto her.
Author's Note: And this is the ending for chapter one. Let me know what you all think about this and if it needs any improvements then let me know in the comments and before anyone questions, yes, all three of them are in a relationship. Just so anyone knows this chapter has been set into the future but the later chapters are all set from the time that June was in Forks and hasn't met her partners. A reason for why I didn't put down their names is because it just felt...right when I was typing this out and I'm hoping that you - the viewers - enjoyed that and how I handled older June's personality.
So that everyone knows now, half of the chapters are going to be pre-twilight so that means Bella hasn't arrived but the Cullens are already in Forks just so everyone knows. Considering this'll be an AU what happens with the vampires might be different and things will be different in the story as well.
