This is my second story. I hope you like it. =]]]]

I do not own The Morganville Vampires series or the characters.

I do own Nicole though.

Prologue

Nicole's POV

Oh, My Gosh! I can't breathe! There's smoke every where! I'm chocking. The house is on fire! Then there was a crash.

"Ahh!!!!!" Mommy! My mommy is in trouble.

I quickly ran out of bed and ran to the door. The doorknob was burning hot but I still opened it. I was crawling down the hallway and toward to where my mommy screamed.

"Mommy!" I yelled.

That made me cough even more. When I reached her door it was open. I saw my mommy. She was on the floor. There was a piece of burning wood on top of her.

"Mommy" I whisper. "Mommy." She wouldn't answer. I started to cry. Then I heard the front door bang open.

"Anyone in here?!" someone yelled. I didn't answer. I hear foot steps all over the place.

"Hey! I found a little girl!" someone yelled. It sounded like a man. He then picked me up.

"No!!!!! I need to stay with my mommy!!!! Let me down!!!! No!!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Then I fell into a dark place.

*~*~*~*

I woke up in a white room. It smelled of bleach. I heard a beeping sound. It was coming from a computer.

There was something in my nose and in my arm. A needle in my arm. I tried to take it off. A lady saw that I was awake and told me not to take the needle out of my arm.

"Where's my mommy?" I asked.

The lady looked sad. She left and didn't answer my question. Then another lady came in. She looked like a princess. She sat in one of the chairs next to the bed I was laying in.

"You're pretty." I said to her. She smiled at me. "Where's my mommy?" I asked her. Her smile went away.

"What is your name?" She asked.

"Nicole"

"Nicole, if I told you would you promise me something?" She asked. I nodded. "Promise me you won't cry." She said.

"Why would I cry?" I asked confused.

"Your mommy is dead." I felt tears water my eyes but I did not let them fall. I promise the princess lady.

"H-how?"

"She died in the fire that you were in. I need you to tell me. Do you know where your father is?" she asked.

"I do not know who my daddy is. Mommy never talked about him."

"Okay. I'm going to leave. I will be back soon." She got up and left.

*~*~*~*

The princess lady came back in about two hours. A lady and a man followed her.

"Nicole." Said the princess. "These two people are going to be your new mommy and daddy."

"Why?"

"Because I want them to talk care of you. Will you let them take care of you?" She asked.

I didn't have a mommy or a daddy. I didn't have anyone to take care of me. These two people wanted to take care of me. They wanted to be my mommy and daddy. I could have a mommy and daddy again.

"Okay." I said.

Later that day I went to where my new mommy and daddy lived. My mommy's name was Claire Collins and my daddy's name was Shane Collins and my new name is Nicole Collins.

That was the first chapter. Claire and Shane are married. Claire is twenty and Shane is twenty-two. The don't live in the Glass House. Claire still works for Myrin.
