Okay, so this is how I picture a movie version of Vampire Academy. Not all of the dialogue is going to be exact, and some parts are deleted, as they always are for movies. And, yes I know that it was a cat and not an owl, but the owl seemed more exotic and fun, so I put it in there. Also, it's all going to be third person and will not say the people's thoughts and/or feelings, but how they look and sound. There will be a contest after I reach a certain number of reviews as well, but I'm not sure how many reviews that should be. If you have any ideas for the contest, too, feel free to suggest it. I have and idea, but there could be better ones out there.
I am going to have my friend, Jayne, do the disclaimer.
Me: Jayne…
Jayne: Do I have to? It would be better if we did own VA, so why should I?
Me: Because I really don't want some rabid fan girl chasing me and/or you down and killing me and/or you.
Jayne: Fine. Rozablood does not own anything. Happy now? *grumbles about how she wishes Dimitri was hers*
Me: Yes. Well, except for that Dimitri is supposed to be mine, not yours.
Me: Read before you get caught up in our argument.
Scene One
The large full moon shone brightly on the deserted forest landscape. Green showed everywhere the light touched it, and a brief white flash rustled atop the trees. The white was a snowy owl, very rare, and it was headed south, gliding gracefully through the still night. It dipped into the shadows of the trees, just barely within sight, still flying with unbelievable speed. Black spots appeared on the owl and slipped away, deep shadows that showed just how fast it was moving.
The trees dispersed and spread out to show a civilization. A city appeared before the owl, and it glided toward the college campus in the heart of it. Loud music blared from speakers and people mulled about. The owl didn't seem to notice any of it. It was headed toward a low, flat building with no lights on. The beautiful owl landed gracefully on a large maple tree near the house, folding its wings in on itself. He peered into the curtained windows.
Inside laid two girls, both obviously asleep. One with tan skin and dark hair, the other her contrast with a pale complexion and blonde hair. The blonde girl was tossing and turning as a nightmare twisted her thoughts, and one word slipped through her pink lips. "Andre."
The dark haired girl seemed to sense her friend's unease, for her eyes snapped open to show a stunning chocolate color. She was out of her bed in a moment, sitting with the blonde. She grabbed the girl's shoulders and shook them.
"C'mon, Liss," she muttered to herself. "Wake up."
The blonde, Liss, opened her eyes slowly. A mesmerizing pale green jumped at the dark haired girl from Liss's eyes. They sat there in silence for a moment until Liss started crying. Tears slipped through her eyes and she threw herself at the other girl. The girl hugged her back and murmured soothing words.
"Oh, Rose, it happened again. I couldn't stop it. How come I can never stop it Rose? Why did it have to happen to me?" Liss rambled through her sobs, hugging the other girl, Rose, tightly.
"I don't know, Lissa," Rose muttered. "I don't know."
Lissa slowly sobered up and peered longingly and Rose's neck. Rose noticed this and moved her long hair out of the way. She reached over and turned on the lamp on the bedside table. "Go ahead," she said. "You know you want to, Princess." She said the last part mockingly.
Lissa got a stubborn look in her eyes and she leaned down so that her mouth was even with Rose's collarbone. She just stayed that way for a fraction of a second before sinking long, razor sharp fangs into her best friend's neck. Rose's expression went slack, and she got a goofy smile on her lips.
The feeding only took a minute, and when it was over Lissa wiped the excess blood from her lips. Rose fell back on her bed, looking very drunk. She still had that goofy smile on her lips, though it had lessened when Lissa stopped drinking from her.
Lissa stood up and told Rose to stay where she was. "I'll get you some food," she said.
"Mm Kay," Rose mumbled as Lissa walked out the door.
Rose stayed lying on the bed for a moment before getting up and heading toward the widow. She opened the curtains wide and did the same for the window. She stuck her head out and closed her eyes, letting the wind softly caress her face. After a second she pulled her head in slightly and opened her eyes. What she saw was a beautiful snowy owl looking at her intelligently. Rose seemed slightly shocked but she smiled at the owl. The owl just looked at her, and then turned its head slightly so that it faced the woods. It looked back at her with large gray eyes, trying to convey something.
"What?" Rose asked it. "What do you want?"
The owl just looked back out at the forest again, and this time Rose looked with it. All she could see was trees and the faraway glow of a street lamp. Her ears brought her the sounds of a party down the street, but she doubted that's what held the owl's attention. She looked again, and saw a few bushes and scattered leaves.
And a man watching her.
Rose jerked her head back and stared in astonishment at the man. He was tall, that she could tell, but the darkness hid the rest of his features. She stared at him for a second longer until she closed her eyes and rubbed them. When she opened her eyes the man was gone, but she was certain she saw a leg disappear into the darkness.
Rose started to hyperventilate. Tears threatened to escape her eyes, but she composed herself and sat down on her bed. She sat there, thinking for a moment, before she jumped up and ran downstairs to where Lissa was.
"We need to go," she whispered to her friend.
Lissa looked confused at first, but then understanding lit up her face and she nodded. "How are we going to do that?" she asked, not challenging, just curious and frightened.
"We'll find out something," Rose told her, and headed out the door.
Lissa followed after a wary second and ran after her best friend, who was going slower than she should have. "Why aren't you running?"
"I'm dizzy," Rose replied, keeping her eyes on her feet as she sped-walked toward a green Honda.
Lissa walked with her, allowing the other girl to hold onto her arm for balance. Lissa kept her head up, her neck arched and back straight. She faltered for a second and looked at Rose. "Did you hear that?"
Rose listened for a second and then nodded her head. "Footsteps," she stated simply and picked up her pace considerably. Lissa struggled to keep up for a second.
Just then the footsteps got louder and quicker, coming at them from the side. Rose picked up the pace again until she was basically running, struggling to keep her balance and keeping a hold on Lissa's arm. Her pace got quicker steadily, to the point until she was sprinting toward the vehicle. Lissa kept the pace and put her arm around Rose's waist to keep her from falling.
Not ten feet from the Honda, a man stepped in their path. Rose skidded to a halt, pulling Lissa behind her and dropping into an unsteady crouch. It was the man who had been watching them, it was easy to tell with his height, about 6'6" or 6'7". The man looked at them for a second before stepping into the light of the streetlamp above them. He had shoulder length brown hair, tied into a band at the nape of his neck, brown eyes and a strong, steely look on his face. He looked at Rose for a second before raising his arms in defense. He took a step forward. "I'm not going to—"
He was cut off as Rose leapt forward, trying to attack him. She kicked out at him, but he automatically pushed her aside, sending her flying toward the pavement. She looked like she was for sure going to crash hard, but at the last minute the tall guy grabbed her arm and steadied her. Rose jerked out of his grasp and crouched, ready to attack again.
"Rose," Lissa whispered. "Don't."
Her words didn't seem to have any effect on Rose at first, but after a second Rose sighed and straightened, defeated. The tall guy stepped forward and bowed to Lissa.
"I am Dimitri Belikov," He informed her, "and I am here to bring you back to St. Vladmir's, Princess Vasilisa."
Jayne: But why would Dimitri even want to be with someone like you?
Me: Because I'm Smexxi and… oh, the peoples are back
Jayne: Oh… Hi peoples! *waves*
Me: Review with contest ideas and opinions! Should I keep going? Is it awesome? Does it suck *insert favorite word here*? I WANNA KNOW!!! If you are nice, I might send Dimitri after you and give you some *insert favorite word here*. But if you're not, Flames will be used solely for entertainment purposes. JSYK.
Jayne: Now, back to our argument…
