Danger's Fire

Disclaimer: what?? What disclaimer?? *squeaks as various objects get chucked at her* okay, okay! The Night World belongs to the wondrous Miss Lisa Jane Smith. All characters that you recognize are mine, and please ask before you borrow them, ne?

Rating: 15 and over. There's a little (make it a lot) of language in her, and lots and lots of fighting. Call me a sucker, but I like a good punch-up.

Sumarry: A single vampire, blessed with power beyond anything both Worlds have ever seen. A hunter, doomed to tread in twilight, belonging in neither Day nor Night. Will Danger find herself, before its too late?

Author's Note: A warning, right here, right now. Most of this I wrote almost a year ago, and my standard of writing wasn't so much up. So, I will be re-writing each part subtly. Why am I telling you this? Just as an excuse if you come across any crap writing…but if you do, dont hesitate to COMMENT! All comments are adored beyond reason, notes loved more than air, critique treated as food of life and reviews gazed at breathtakingly. In simpler terms… read and review!!!

PS: Circe—pronounced Sirse

Prologue

Circe Winters walked home that day, feeling elated. She had just been cast the lead role in the school play, which she'd wanted really badly. She skipped up to her front door, but stopped after two skips.

There was something wrong.

She could feel it, and Circe had learned to trust her feelings. Gently she pushed her front door open, and stepped in. At first glance nothing seemed to be wrong. Her front hall was as tidy as ever and nothing looked disturbed. But Circe could smell something in the air. It smelled like...fear. She had no idea how she came to that conclusion, but she knew she was right. She looked around and her eyes focused on the living room door. There. Somehow Circe knew that there was something behind that door, something that would change her life for good.

She braced herself and stepped towards it, gently easing the door open. And the sight that greeted her made her scream. There, on the floor lay her sister's body, with her throat half torn out. Circe clamped a hand over her mouth, dimly realizing she was sobbing. She stumbled over to her sisters' body and knelt next to it. "Get up," she whispered. "Please, Andreania, get up. GET UP!!!" She slammed a hand on her sister's chest but there was no movement.

Suddenly the realization of the situation hit Circe full-force. She got to her feet, the only thought in her head was to get out of there, fast. She stumbled back ward and turned to run out. But before she'd taken more than two steps someone stepped out from behind the door and grabbed her arm. Circe whirled round, mad thoughts dashing around her mind. It was her sister's murderer, she thought wildly. He's come back to finish the job. He's...it's...

The person stepped into the light and Circe got a good look at his face. It was a young man, barely older than eighteen, with dark hair and an unnaturally beautiful face. But Circe wasn't looking at that. Her attention was focused on the man's mouth where two fangs, *fangs* were poking out. Not the imitation kind either. These looked horribly real, and horribly sharp. She looked up at the man's eyes and saw they were silver. Real silver, not just pale. He was looking at her thoughtfully and Circe squirmed under that watchful gaze. She started struggling to get free, but he was strong. Inhumanely strong. He held her easily in place. He started stroking her face. "Such a beauty," he murmured. "Such a shame to grow old and die."

Circe started whimpering. Suddenly she was horribly aware of the fact that she wouldn't live to see another sunrise. The man bend his head down and sank his fangs in her throat. Circe struggled but quickly slumped down. Her life force was being drained out, she was dying...

Suddenly something was forced into her mouth. It tasted sweet but unlike anything Circe had ever tasted before. She started drinking.

"Welcome to the World of the Night," she heard the man say before she passed out.
