Love of an Earth Lord
AN:This was a request from , featuring her OC Lucinda Vega. I hope that I have done a good job with this first chapter.
Lucinda's POV
I sat in the car with my parents, running my hand nervously through my jet-black hair. We were moving to a new town called Venture Falls for a "fresh start" as my dad called it. I examined my reflection in the rear-view mirror. A girl of twelve stared back at me.
I would never claim to be pretty myself, but a lot of people seem to think I am. I have straight black hair that is always held back with a white hairband. People love how glossy my hair looks but, in my opinion, it makes my already too pale skin seem even paler. My eyes are a warm chocolate brown with a hint of caramel, if you look carefully enough. I have a slim build and am average in height, thought I have started growing taller recently.
I was wearing my favourite outfit: my pink and black dress - the bodice was pink with a white collar and four black buttons whilst the skirt was black and reached to my knees. Beneath the dress, I wore dark blue jeans. On my feet were my new black combat boots.
"Are you excited, Lu?" My dad asks. Ever since I was small, he's always called me Lu and now that's what pretty much everyone calls me. In fact, my parents rarely use my full name unless they're mad at me (which, thankfully, doesn't happen very often). I nod, distracted by my first view of the town. It seems pretty ordinary which suits me fine. After all, no one here knows my secret...
Oh, did I forget to mention? My dad is none other than the well-known music producer Rick Vega. Yes, that's right- the guy who made the songs of popular teen star Aaron Apple a showstopping success. He was also the music producer for my mother, Marlene Wainwright, which was how they met, fell in love, got married and had me. My mum is a country singer and she's pretty well-known in the music industry too.
It's unsurprising, therefore, that my one passion in the entire world is music. I learnt to play the piano aged three, learning the guitar shortly afterwards. I took singing lessons as soon as I was old enough and my instructor told me I had a natural talent, a voice like a nightingale.
I really want to keep my parentage a secret because no matter where I go, people only want to be friends with me because of my parents. I just want to be friends with people who like me for who I am, not who my parents are.
Like my dad says, it's a fresh start, a chance to put everything behind us. I look up as our car turns down a small drive towards a two-storey white house. My first impression is "Wow!" I can't believe this is our new house. Judging from the high-pitched gasp I hear, my mum is pretty stunned too.
My dad parks the car and we all get out. Mum fumbles with a set of keys until she eventually finds the right one to unlock the door. We step inside, taking care not to trip over the numerous boxes cluttering the floor.
This is our new home.
AN: I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Next time, the Vega family start work unpacking and Lucinda meets Nick and Toby for the first time.
