I know, I know. I said I'd post this once "The Next Generation of Daybreak" is finished, but my head's full of sawdust at the minute, that I've decided to post this one up. If you don't want "The Next Generation of Daybreak2 to be spoilt, then do not read. This is the continuation of T N G D.
Reach for the Sky.
Prologue.
It is the unwritten law of the popular people not to invite the school freak anywhere, not even to sit at the same table with you at lunch, or invite them to sit within a ten foot radius of the popular people. And that's Sky's problem. She is a freak, and a freak of the worst kind actually, according to the 'PP' as Sky calls them.
Sky Redfern is a vampire, but what makes her a freak is that Sky is three quarters vampire and one quarter human. She has pale translucent skin, eyes that change to every colour of the spectrum, and hair so red, it looks like blood.
Sky looks like an ordinary human, but is too beautiful to be one, but she isn't beautiful enough to be inhumanly beautiful. That's Rain Blackthorn's job.
Rain Blackthorn is everything Sky wants to be. The only think Sky likes about herself is her surname; Redfern. A Redfern can command at least some respect from other vampires.
Yes, Rain is a vampire as well, and the crowd she hangs about with aren't exactly normal either.
There are six of them in total, including Rain. Three boys and three girls, none of which are human. As Rain is a vampire, she has long jet black hair, yellow eyes, luscious lips, pale skin, long legs, and most of all; curves galore. Rain's second in command is Hematite Whiteash, her boyfriend. Also a vampire, Hematite is a dream come true; dark hair and eyes, wilful mouth, well toned body, you name it.
Next we have Siobhan Harman, a witch. She has long white blonde hair and violet eyes. She has long legs but she's short and petite. Her boyfriend is Wolf Lovett; a name that describes him well, Wolf is a werewolf. He has white hair with streaks of grey, yellow eyes and a wolfish personality. He's tall, nearly a foot taller than Siobhan. His eyes continually dart around the room, like a predator taking in his surroundings.
Next we have Gem Harman-Redfern, a witch/vampire half breed. She has long black hair and violet eyes. Her boyfriend is Tiger Keller. He is a shapeshifter, three guesses as to what he can shift into.
Tiger has ginger hair and yellow-brown eyes and moves with the grace of a tiger. He prowls around the school as though he owns the place…well; technically he does own the place.
And there you have it, the 'PP.' The reason why Rain's gang shuns Sky out (apart from being part human), is because she's a Daybreaker. Rain's gang are Night People, and Night People and Daybreaker's do not get along. Sky wishes they would, because she's had a crush on Hematite for a fair few years now, not that he ever notices her. If he did, then it was probably just to call her 'mutt' just like the rest of them.
'Mutt' is a name that full Night People call hybrids. Gem doesn't get called 'mutt' because she's a full Night Person, unlike Sky.
Sky Redfern, in case anyone was wondering, is Ash Redfern's granddaughter. Daughter of Ash's son Oren Redfern and Oren's soulmate Melia; daughter of James and Poppy Rasmussen, Sky's other grandparents. Sky gets her human side from her grandmother Mary-Lynette Redfern.
It is lunch time at Lake Mead High School, and Sky's best friend Ruby Harman has to stay behind when Photo Shop is over to catch up on some work she's missed. So Sky is left all on her own this lunch time. She and Ruby usually go to an empty classroom to eat their lunch, but today Sky has to eat in the cafeteria on her own.
The PP are going to be there. Sky thinks. Oh I really don't want to go anywhere near the cafeteria. But then again, Hematite is going to be there.
She gathers her resolve, and walks into the large cafeteria and walks past the PP's table, head bent, trying to look as invisible as possible.
