Okay. So. There is a lot of shit that I want to clarify off the bat. If you just want to skip to the part where the story begins, all you have to know is this is an alternate universe with an original character because I realized the chick I had created was nothing like Rose. Okay. So since this person is not Rose, her family/story/personality/name are not the same. Everyone else that is a main character is how they usually are. My version follows a lot of the events that happen in the book. One major difference is Mason never dies. I don't know if I will even get to that point in my fanfic but just let the record show Mason never dies . Okay and the timeline works a little differently and I don't want to give too much away so sorry if this doesn't make sense, or maybe it will give you something to look forward to.
Age 14 (Kidnapped [just my main character])
Age 15 (Released/Escape [don't worry that isn't part of my story so I didn't ruin anything])
Age 16 (Return to Academy [all the stuff happened with lissa, like the car accident, but it happened when they were like 13])
Age 16 ½ (Run Away from Academy to protect lissa from spirit)
Age 17 (Badass Russian would be god retrieves them from hiding [which is where my story starts])
Oh another btw, I made the age gap only 5 years because I wanted to so… yeah. And Janine Hathaway does not exist. My character's mother is different . Um. I will shut up now and start writing. Review if you have questions or if you just want to
Oh. And im just gonna assume you know about feeders/drinking blood/spirit using/scenes with lissa and Christian. I might talk about them but I will not go into a lot of detail. Just assume it's the same unless written otherwise because I have a lot of other stuff I want to write so if it goes from lissa and Christian meeting for the first time and the next time you see them they are holding hands and being all kissy faced, just know that shit went down and now they are together. Im assuming you read the books and don't need me to repeat everything. Ok. Now ill shut up.
WAIT last thing. I do not own Vamp Academy. I own Jessie (my main girl which means I might change douche bag jesse's name in the book) and a little bit of the plot. I do however own chocolate milk, and im going to go get a glass.
Ok I got one.
On with the story.
Chapter One ::
"Liss, you need to drink."
"No, really, I'm fine"
"Lissa, your skin is pale and you refused to drink last night. Seriously, it's ok. I know you need it."
"And I know you hate it."
"I'll get over it."
I found a spot on the bed and tilted my head to the side. With one last protest, Lissa joined me on the bed.
She was right. I did hate this, which was weird because the endorphins from the bite give most people a better high than most drugs. I hated it because of what it reminded me of. Every time she bit my neck, I remembered a little more. I tried to hide my discomfort as best I could because Lissa knew it upset me, but she had to drink to live. Her life is more important than me. That's how it has always been and how it will always be.
She slowly brought her lips to my neck and I could feel her fangs against my neck, warning me where she was going to bite. I tensed, thinking about it, thinking about him, remembering all of the horrible things that happened that year. Then the rush of the endorphins kicked in. Instead of making me blissful like they did to most, they made me uncomfortable, nervous, and scared. My pulse picked up, allowing my blood to flow faster into her mouth. Good. The faster this is over, the better.
Finally, Lissa pulled away, her hunger sated. I wasn't quite ready to move yet after losing that amount of blood. She had taken more than she usually did because of refusing to drink yesterday.
"I'll go get you something to drink and eat. Sorry I took so much."
Before I could tell her not to worry about it, she left. I sat there on the bed, eyes clenched shut, tensed, nauseous, dizzy. After a couple of seconds, I slowly pried my eyes open. They rested on the purple curtains hanging in our room. We shared a small town house with two other guys. If we were college students, that might be a problem, but to two teen runaways? Two young guys were easy to charm into giving us a place to stay. Whatever I couldn't get for us with some convincing words, friendly or not, Lissa could use her compulsion. We didn't use it on everything, I didn't let her, but having a place to stay is one of the essential parts of surviving. We have been on the run for eight months now. I make sure we relocate every two months; sooner if I feel our cover has been blown or people are getting suspicious. So now we are in Seattle. A place to stay wasn't hard to come by. All I had to do was make sure we moved into a city with a college campus around and we would pretty much be guaranteed a place to stay. So now we shared a two bedroom with Josh and Tyler.
*snap*
My eyes shot to the window. Outside, just in the shadows I could see the retreating outline of someone. A man. A tall man. I only had about two milliseconds to see him, so I couldn't be sure, but he was built like a dhamphir, built like a guardian.
Normally, guardians are meant to protect the moroi, aka Lissa, but things started happening with Lissa and after the disappearance of our crazy teacher Mrs. Karp, we ran away from their protection and out into the real world. So, as of the day we left the safety of the Academy, guardians were NOT our friends.
My heart sped up and my mind started working over time, which wasn't saying much because my brain was still in the drug induced/blood loss haze. He knows I saw him. I had to make him think we weren't going to run. If he thought he'd spooked us, they would stray away from any plan they had and attack now, not wanting to risk us escaping again. I ran over to the window and yanked it open.
"ENJOYING THE VIEW YOU PERV! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!"
Maybe if he thought I thought he was human, it could buy me and Lissa some time. I closed the window and closed the blinds just as Lissa came back upstairs with a power bar and some Gatorade.
"They didn't have much but you'll need…. Jessie, what's wrong?"
"We're leaving." I replied hastily. I was now running around gathering all of the important stuff like money, passports, and at least some clothes. Whether it was the look on my face or the decision in my voice, Lissa didn't question it. She stood there and asked what she could do.
I told her to go get the car keys from our roommates and find out where the car was. We were going to need to leave soon. I'd rather use this time to run than sit around waiting for them to make their move.
I grabbed both of our bags, hers lighter than mine, and started out to the hallway. As soon as I got down the first few steps, I stumbled a little. The world was going all different ways and I had to hold the railing for dear life to prevent myself from falling. The dizziness was taking longer to wear off than usual and me with a broken leg was absolutely no use to Lissa in this situation.
As soon as the world righted itself I finished my way down the stairs and met Lissa on the landing, keys in hand.
"Two blocks down, at the corner of Jefferson."
"Okay. We will go out the side door and head to the alley. Then we will just have to play it by ear. If they aren't suspicious of us at that point, we shouldn't make them be by sprinting down the street at 1 am."
Lissa nodded.
"Are Jake and Tyler taken care of? We can't have them get suspicious and get local authorities involved when they find out their two roommates skipped out without paying last month's rent."
"Yeah. They think we both got offered scholarships to different schools and left this morning. I told them we would come back for our stuff, but if not, they can always just get rid of it."
"Good job Lissa."
I knew she hated lying and sneaking around. Being on the run had its effects on her, but I was proud she had thought of a story to tell them.
"Alright, let's go."
Ok, I wasn't going to end it there, but I wanted to get the first chapter up. I hope you liked it. I am already started on chapter 2 and I have at least 5 other chapters outlined-ish… so they should be up soon enough. I am updating as fast as I can but reviews might make it go faster .
Oh. And a lot of people asked me where my pen name came from. It's a song by my all time favorite band Framing Hanley off their new CD. 3 I thought the song was cute and romantic and blah blah blah. Fluffy fluffy fluffy. Boring boring boring.
OH and idk if any of you readers care… but Degrassi the boiling point starts tomorrow :D (haha yeah I got hooked) anyone have any favorite characters? Any predictions on whats gonna happen? Or if it has already happened, whats your favorite part/characters? Let me know in a review 3 3
