A/N: Alright, so basically, this is the story about what happens when Lucy's parents come back Once again, apologies for not updating my other stories, once again! I will eventually, promise! This is kind of an introduction chapter, mostly thoughts. I promise it'll get better!

I had an operation on Monday, so I'm off school (congratulations, self!) and I'll be updating a bit today because I'm bored -_-

You must be a miracle worker

Swearing up and down you can fix what's been broken (yeah)

Please don't get my hopes up (no, no)

Baby tell me how could you be so cruel

Prologue

Nicholas (POV)

Lucy was in danger.

And I realised that.

I'd do anything to keep her safe. I promised that to myself when I realised that I loved her, two years ago. I don't think she even knows that a liked her back then, never mind how much . . . I've always cared for her, but during my Bloodchange, I figured it out. Yeah, she was only fourteen, but I was only sixteen. I loved a girl, but she didn't love me back. But I waited, I didn't give up, and now look; she loves me. Well, at least I hope she does. I mean-

I'm babbling, aren't I?

Yeah, well, she does that to you. She rubs off on you, and you start to realise just why you love her.

Even so, she needs to be safe.

She needs to stay away.

I love her to death.

That's the problem: 'To death'.

I could kill her . . . With just one bite. I could so easily suck the life out of her, the girl that I love.

It had all started out so innocent, and now look, we're fighting to stay together obliviously.

I don't know how I'm going to stay away from her, but I'll eventually lose control if I don't.

Lucy (POV)

I knew it was coming, so I don't know why I freaked out. Quinn said that they wouldn't try to kick me out.

Yeah, Quinn lies.

I figured that out eight years ago, when he said he wouldn't ever annoy me again.

Yeah, because that was ever going to happen.

I'm going to get kicked out.

However, I promised myself that I'd win. I love Nicholas, I love Solange (obviously not in the same way). I'm going to stay, and I'm going to get Turned, eventually. My life revolves around the Drakes, and I'm going to win.

Well, you can't win if you don't fight.

A/N: Keep? Please review, I have a good plot for this story and I can't wait to update :D The next chapter is already written!

Lots of love, Ellie :*
