Chapter 1: Marked
I saw him.
Ok, more like felt him before I saw him. The dead guy. Ok, not dead, but vampyre guy. He was standing beside my locker. His skin was a sickly pale, his eyes were purple, and he had a sapphire crescent moon on his forehead. No one would notice him until he spoke however, only me.
Maggie and I were standing next to my locker, Maggie was as usual babbling about something I couldn't care less about and I was just staring out into space. Maggie was my best friend, but sometimes she just aggravated the fuck out of me. But me, being compassionate and all. Ignored it.
The vampyre stepped between us and looked me dead in the eyes.
"Bunny Ayame Lavender!" he said as he pointed at me, his fingers touched my forehead. "You are hereby marked by the blood of Nyx!"
Then he was gone. As soon as he left I developed a blazing headache, it came so suddenly that before I could even think, unconsciousness grabbed me...
When I woke up everyone was staring at me like they'd seen a ghost.
"What...?" I asked, still out of it a little. My eyes were still a blur and I could hardly make out the images of my peers. "Maggie?" I asked my best friend, who was standing far away from me, fear written all over her face. "What happened? And why are you so far away?"
"Y-y-you-you were marked!"
"WHAT!" I screamed, coughing. She pulled out a mirror, bent down, and slid it over to me. I snatched it up and looked at myself. My skin was abnormally pale, making my sapphire eyes and long, silky, raven hair stand out. Upon my forehead adorned an outline of a crescent moon. 'Fledging...' a voice said in my head. Then all hell broke loose.
"FREAK!"
"DEVIL!"
They called me. I expected Maggie to stick up for me but I saw that she was joining them! My peers. My best friend. Was spitting and cursing at me. Normally I would've just beaten their asses and called it a day, but the pain was too great. So I ran out of the school, coughing and wheezing until I got to my car. It was a cherry red Mercedes-benz. Jumping in I punched the gas and sped off...
