Chapter 1: And so it begins…James opened his eyes after having them closed for so long. The first thing he saw was darkness. "Cool, I'm in Hell!" he thought to himself. After his murder at the hands of Jasper and Emmett Cullen he had figured that this would be the spot where he would end up. He was completely prepared to meet Satin and be assigned a job when all of a sudden he heard music. Not metal or any other form of music considered to be influenced by the devil; it was classical music. James moved closer to the sweet, melodic tune. Was he hallucinating? Had he actually managed to get into heaven?
James walked out of the darkness to investigate his surroundings. As he moved closer towards the end of the dark area he noticed a bright light. "Shit, it's heaven!" he cursed to himself. Then he heard a loud crash and someone crying out in pain. "Oh yes, still Hell!" James decided to move closer, confident that he had landed in the correct eternal resting place. Then, James started to see girls. Not hot, sexy succubus queens that he had been told resided in Hades, but young girls of maybe six or seven. He also saw an instructor followed by a boom box and several parents who were comforting the screaming child who had fell. James then had a revelation. Before he made any conclusions he checked his body. It was not burned or scarred like he had expected. He then checked his chest. It was moving up and down which meant that he was breathing. "OH MY GOD!" he exclaimed to himself. "I'M ALIVE!"
The first though to cross James's mind was, why? He hadn't done anything to achieve a second chance at life. If anything he had deserved to die and reside with the eternal damned through infinity. As he was contemplating the reason behind his reawakening James felt overcome by a powerful feeling. He was thirsty. Extremely thirsty. To put it simply the last time he needed blood this badly was when he was a newborn. Without even waiting another minute James stormed into the main room at the dance studio and began to devour everyone in sight.
After James had satisfied his thirst he continued to think about the reason why he was alive again. Maybe it was some power from below giving him a second chance. Maybe he was even stronger than he had once believed. Or maybe it didn't even matter. Most vampires were not able to enjoy this type of rebirth. He should feel lucky and privileged.
Instead of just sitting around contemplating the reasons behind his resurrection James decided to take full advantage of his situation. Considering the fact that he had been gone for so long he thought it best if he did not look for Victoria. "She's probably found another mate by now", he thought to himself. Inspired by this thought he decided to find another mate for himself. He was going to start a new coven in a city where the Cullens or any other goodie-two shoes vampire gang would not be able to bother him.
Mandy sat in her room writing in her journal about her most recent "Lost Boys" dream. Her hand moved feverishly across the page as she thought about how Marko and Paul had fought over her. She laughed as she remembered when Laddie tried to distract the arguing pack members by breaking random objects around the cave. As she finished her writing she hopped back into bed, hoping to have another encounter with her favorite bloodsuckers.
Mandy was completely obsessed with vampires. She knew every single story about the mythological creatures. She had read all the books and seen all the movies countless times. She was also one of the few people who believed that the creatures really existed. Her goal in life, besides making it on Broadway and marrying John Tartaglia, was to discover a real vampire. She knew that her task would be hard but she believed with determination she would achieve it.
Sadly her love of vampires was one of the only things that made her life interesting. It was true that she had her friends and love of Broadway musicals but currently her love of vampires reigned supreme. It was all she ever talked or thought about. To most people it seemed kind of sad but to Mandy her obsession was her way of surviving the bitch of living. As she drifted back to sleep she saw Marko grinning his vamped out smile and couldn't help but smile back.
After walking for what seemed like years James stumbled upon the busy city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It wasn't necessarily his idea of a fun place to live but he was getting bored with just wandering around so he decided that he would make Philly his temporary residence. When the pickings became scarce he would just fly the coop.
The next item on James' agenda was to find a new mate. He decided that his best option would be to enroll in high school and charm some unsuspecting teen girl into becoming his new vampire sweetheart. Even though he dreaded the idea of being forced to act human for nine hours a day it seemed like impersonating a student was his only hope. "If it worked for Edward Cullen it can work for me, too!" he thought to himself.
James walked into the doors of Benjamin City Charter High School feeling like the biggest dork that ever walked the face of the Earth. He couldn't believe he was doing this! He could've just walked into a mall and grabbed someone but no, he had to be a gentleman and court a girl. "Well, I'm already here. Might as well go through with it," he thought as he went to pick up his roster from the office.
James' first day was possibly one of the worst days of his long life! The main problem James' faced was trying to control himself among the students. He knew he had to act natural but since he had been brought back to live his thirst for blood was astronomical! Therefore, the majority of James' time was spent clinging onto his desk, trying desperately to control his need for blood. "I'm never going to find another mate like this!" he whispered to himself as he made the way to his next method of torture; lunch.
As James made his way toward the cafeteria he smelled a scent that drove him wild. It was somewhat reminiscent of Bella Swan's flowery aroma but with a hint of herbs. The smell was so overpowering that the vampire almost fell over with excitement. "I must follow that scent!" he thought to himself as he finished his trek to the lunchroom.
Once he arrived in the cafeteria James used his tracking skills to find the bountiful bouquet he had encountered on the stairs. It only took him a few minutes to find Mandy Taminzski sitting with her best friends at an almost empty lunch table. "Bingo." James thought as he made his way over to the table.
Out of the corner of her eye Mandy saw the hottest guy she had ever seen. He had golden blond hair, skin white as snow, and ruby red eyes. As he sauntered over towards her lunch table she almost forgot to breath. "May I sit here?" his seductive voice rang out as he finally arrived at her table. "Su-sure", Mandy stuttered as the mysterious hottie made himself comfortable.
"I'm James."
"My name's Mandy. These are my friends Becca, Dana, and Sara."
"Nice to meet you guys."
"Hey Mandy, Dana, Sara, and I are going to head to the Lu. We'll be right back."
"Okay Becca, don't get raped!"
"Why would you say something like that your friends?"
"Well, James I can't tell you much information other than it's an inside joke."
"Have any more weird sayings I should know about?"
" Well…"
As Mandy continued to talk she noticed how different James was from the other guys at her school. Not only was he the hottest person alive he also paid the utmost attention to her. The only other guy to do that was her ex-boyfriend, Karl, and his reason was because no one else liked him. But, James seemed to be attracted to her in a way that Mandy never thought someone could be. As their conversation progressed, she tried to through in a few flirty moves she hoped would persuade to make a move.
When lunch was over James politely said his goodbyes to the four girls and left the building. As he ran back to his hideout in the park, he thought over the time he had spent with Mandy. Not only was she obviously smitten with him but her scent was so mouthwatering it was hard to keep from drooling all over the place. And, as a bonus he was a pretty fun person to talk to. "She's it.", he thought to himself as he prepared to find his evening meal.
