Whatever Happened to...?
Disclaimer: I don't own HON:P
Author's Note: I look for fanfics everywhere to find ones about the characters that the books either don't mention or don't mention a lot, and I have a hard time finding them because there's just so many fics! So I thought I'd write a fic about all of them so they're all in one place:)
Summary: Ever wonder about Zoey's siblings? What about Stark's old family? Stevie Rae's old life? And what about Nala? Well, here are the untold stories - all in one place - for you to enjoy!
Whatever Happened to Kristen?
A One-Shot about Zoey's older sister
"Kevin, oh my gosh, where did you put my lipstick?" Kristen yelled. She was already late for school, and Mr. Wise (the AP Biology teacher and Assistant Principal) had threatened her with detention twice this week. Her stupid brother had the day off, she couldn't find any of her stuff, and the stupid idiot that was her step-dad had been lecturing her all morning on the importance of 'responsibility' and whatnot.
"Kristen, how the heck would I know? I'm a boy. I don't wear makeup." Kevin grumbled. He hated waking up early. Hated it.
"Well, you used it to play that joke on Nick, and now it's gone!" Kristen yelled back.
"Whatever." Kevin mumbled.
Sighing, Kristen shrieked, and ran out to her car.
"Hey baby. Where were you first period?"
Kristen looked up from her locker to her Boyfriend of the Week, Brad. He was what you'd expect from Kristen; tall, tan, and blonde. With really pretty blue eyes. But there was one thing about Brad that Kristen wasn't used to; he wasn't one of the manipulative jerks. He was a really nice guy.
"Woke up late." Kristen sighed. "Is Mr. Wise uber ticked?"
"Uh...yeah." Brad said, chuckling.
"Wonderful." Kristen grumbled.
It was after lunch. Kristen was in the bathroom, trying to fix her long, dark hair. She had always hated it; it was awful. It never straightened, it was too fine to curl, and it frizzed whenever the weather got crappy. While Zoey's had been much the same, she could at least straighten it. Kristen had always secretly wished for Zoey's hair.
Kristen felt that weird emptiness whenever she thought of her little sister. They used to fight all the time; Zoey was always too outspoken and she called Kristen names that belonged in the movie Easy A (which Brad was taking her to see this weekend). But...well, they had been sisters. And all it took was Zoey leaving for Kristen to try to be better.
Without Zoey, things seemed different. Her mom seemed more robot-y than she usually did, and Kevin didn't make a huge deal about his Call of Duty games or whatever.
Was it possible? Did Kristen Montgomery miss her sister?
After school, Kristen had two hours of cheering practice. Kristen was usually excited about that, but not today. It was conditioning, and the whole squad had to run around the smell, un-air conditioned gym about a bazillion times. By the time practice was over, Kristen was hot, smelly, and almost (gasp) unattractive.
When she got home, Kristen went straight upstairs and took a long, hot shower. It was the only way for her to unwind. When she was done, she felt renewed, refreshed, and almost happy.
And then it was time for dinner.
"Kristen, would you pass the butter?" Kristen's mother, Linda Heffer (yeah, Kristen hated the name, too) asked her.
"Whatever." Kristen said snottily, passing her mother the stupid tub of fat-free saltless butter.
"Kevin, how was school today?" Linda asked her son.
"It was okay. I got a D on my science test." he said.
"Kevin, that's it. That's the fifth bad grade this week. No video games for a month." The Step-Loser (yeah, Kristen called him that, too) yelled.
"What?" Kevin shrieked. "No, that's not fair!"
"Kevin, I agree with your father. You'll give me your PlayStation 3 after dinner, won't you?" Linda said.
"Um, no! What the heck? John-freaking-Loser is not my father! He can't tell me what to do! I'm going downstairs and playing Black Ops online right now! Agent Nikolai needs my help to destroy the zombies!" Kevin screamed, running to his basement room from the dinner table.
Kristen had to stop herself from laughing. He had sounded just like Zoey.
"Another one Linda, really? What is wrong with your children?"
"I'm so sorry, Darling. I don't know what has gotten into him."
"Well, he sounds like that stupid, Satan daughter of yours."
"Yes. I know. I'm sorry, John. I'll go get his PlayStation from him."
Kristen didn't think she was supposed to hear that particular conversation.
After her mother got up and walked down to Kevin's room, it was just Kristen and John at the dinner table.
"Don't you go evil on us." John said in a threatening tone.
"Whatever." Kristen scoffed.
"Don't take that tone of voice with me." John warned.
"Yes, sir." Kristen said fakely, smiling a huge, toothy smile.
That night, Kristen laid in her bed. She took a hard look at her life. It was empty. At one point, she'd thought that if she was with a lot of guys it might fill the hole, but that just made her feel like a slut. She didn't want that.
Maybe...maybe Brad and me can be together for a while. That would be good, right? Kristen thought.
It was then that Kristen realized that Zoey's Mark hadn't been a prison sentence at the Vampyre Finishing School; it had been her savior. Her one-way ticket out of this stupid house that still didn't feel like home.
Zoey's probably got cool powers. Kristen thought. And she's probably having super cool, kick-butt Vampyre powers. Maybe...I don't know, maybe I'll visit her one of these days. There was all that stuff about 'Foul Play' at the House of Night...maybe she's having a cooler life than I thought she could.
And then, Kristen Montgomery fell asleep, wishing with all her heart that she could get a one-way ticket out of there.
What did you think? It was kind of hard to give Kristen a personality, since they didn't even give her a name in the book, but that's the fun of this! I'm giving the characters life and personality! Each chapter will be a one-shot of a different character, and I'll update sometimes whenever I'm bored:) Review!
