Well, hello there! yes! I am so gonna enjoy this. okay so I was originally going to start during Untamed which, for those of you who don't know, is the fourth book. But then I remembered that I let my step mom borrow the series, so I kinda don't remember all of what happened in the books. So instead I'm starting the story at the end of awakened, which is the eighth book.
YEAH! ALL THOSE WAITING FOR DESTINED SAY 'BLESSED BE'...nothin...ok, fine.
SHUT UP AND READ! (HAHAHAHAHAHAH)
You ever have one of those days where your life sucks- and I mean TOTAL SUCKAGE?... Really? Huh, who'da thought. But not me! nope! From day one my life was totally awesome. I mean come on, how many people can say they wanted to become a vampyre, and it happens? It all started last summer. I lost someone important to me, i began the change...BOOM! Intsa-vampire! But I'm getting ahead of myself. For now, as i sit on my knees in a pool of my own blood, about to die for the one I love. My life flashes before my darkening eyes...Let me share with you my story.
"Oh my GOD...dess..." I added quickly, shifting my eyes back and forth guiltily, before laughing. "Sorry," I apologized quickly, "But why's it gotta be so damn HOT!"
It has been two weeks since i was marked by the tracker the change into a vampyre, as i now walk through the desert. I was always fasinated with vampyres. Maybe it had something to do with my unusual birth, but who knows.
"'Just go to the nearest House of Night' they said; 'No, I can make it' I said, 'How far could it be?'" I qouted, extremely sarcastic. "Pretty fuckin far appearantly. No one told me it was in the damn desert!"
It was then that a green highway sign came into view that said 'Tulsa next exit'.
At the sight of the sign, I jumped for joy. Just then, a yellow school bus, passing by, honked and pulled over. Instinct kicked in as I reached for my black beanie, and put it on in order to hid my mark. In fact, now that I look at myself, everything I wore was black.
I wore baggy black Dickies shorts, a pair of black and white chuck taylor converse, black biker leather gloves, a baggy black zip-up sweater, unzipped, with no undershirt; clean white bandage wraps on my left arm, custom made sunglasses, and now my black beanie.
As I walked past the bus, a older woman stepped out, wearing what looked like a a shapeless dress and a white cap. A nun?, I thought.
"Excuse me, young man," she called, halting my movement, "Would you like a ride into town?"
Why not, I thought. As I turned to her, plastering a big fake grin on my face I said, "Yeah that'd be awesome, thanks!"
When I got on the bus, and the driver started driving again, I took a look around and blinked. Instead one of every man's fantasies have come true. The bus was full of hott teenage girls, wearing school girl uniforms.
Thank you, I mouthed, my eyes looking up. Looking up, I imagine my mother staring down at me with a frown on her face that said I should behave myself. Of course though that was just my imagination, so I walked to the back of the bus with a huge grin on my face. I spotted on cute blonde sitting by herself, and decided to make her dreams come true...Whatever they may be...
"Hey there," I say to the blonde, "Mind if I sit here?"
The girl shakes her head, scooping over a little more.
While I'm sitting there, I notice that she's staring at me through the window reflect, and smirk to myself. "Names Jason," I greeted, "What's yours?" When I didn't get an anwser, I just shrugged it off. "The silent type, huh?" I teased, "That's cool, I can did it."
She smiled at the bad hippie joke, then turned to me. "My name's Julie." she said.
Julie?"
"Uhuh."she assured.
"Can I call you Jewels?" I asked.
"Okay." Jewels blushed.
"Okay. So, Jewels," I said, "What's with the school girl outfit?" I gestured from her to the other girls, and I has really curious about it. Were they all dressed up for the upcoming game Ninja school girl 2?
"We're all students at the People of Faith Academy, in Tulsa." Jewels explained.
"People...of Faith...Academy..." I repeated, my gaze switching from her to the view out the window of passing buildings. "'Cuse me."
"Wha-"
"Okay, stop the bus," I shouted standing up. "Seriously, Vampire on board, feelin' pretty uncomfortable right now." I removed my hood as the drivers wide eyes looked at me through the mirror.
The bus then came to a screeching stop, and I was thrown out the door, followed closely by the nun yelling "Spawn of Satan!". My duffle bag was them thrown at me as I stood up, and was knocked back down, as the bus sped away. "Thanks for the ride!" I shouted after the bus, waving like a goof. "Such nice people."
I lifted my duffle bag off the ground, and noticed a piece of paper fall from it. It was a note.
"Vampire or not I'd still like to talk to you. Call me sometime (426)381-9956. Julie"
"Hah!," I laughed, "only five minutes in town, and i'm already gettin numbers.
After that I ended up walking around for hours, trying to find the place. "God, how hard is it to find a stupid school!," I ranted, before catching my mistake, "Sorry...i ment goddess...Anyways, Tulsa's not that big, and the House of Night has to be huge!"
I continued my rant for a good forty minutes before I realized I'd past the same tree formation five times, before stopping and looking up. "I mean seriously it takes a complete idiot not to...notice...it" I realized I'd been going in a complete circle, but what made it worse was I was going in a complete circle around the House of Night! "...I hate you..." I said as I walked up to the door.
As I approached the front gate, I noticed that there were two moving trucks there. I shrugged it off and went to go check it out. When I got to the two trucks I noticed they were full of girl stuff. Well, one was half full, while the other barely had anything in it. Deciding I'd rather wait here than go inside looking for someone, I sat on the edge of the truck and waited for someone to come outside. While I waited for someone to come out, I pulled more bandage wraps from my duffle bag to wrap up the rest of my marks aroud my chest and back, and my neck. When I was done I laid back on the cold metal of the truck, kicking my kicks lightly. The chill of the metal sent a shockwave of relief surging through my body. It was during that relief that a girls voice yelled throufgh the air at me.
"What the fuck do you think your doing?" it yelled.
I sat up to see a girl holding a hairy white cat and a guy holding a box.
"Hi there." I said, jumping out of the truck to go greet them. As I got closer they gave me a curious and confused look, and I realized they were staring at my mark. Irritation seeped into me as I reached into my back pocket for my beanie. "It's not nice to stare." I said, annoyed, as I hid my mark.
"Well how-"
"Apologizes," the man said, cutting off the girl as he rested a hand on her shoulder, "We ment no disrespect."
"Ah, it's okay, I guess its pretty rude of me to be sitting there." I said, gesturing to the truck. "Anything I can help with?"
"Okay guys, that's everything!" another girls voice rang.
I looked over the shoulders of the two people in front of me to see a goup of people, three girls and another guy, moving toward us.
"Hi there!" I said, moving into view.
"Hi, are you new?" the first girl asked, smiling. She had long black hair, big brown eyes, a beautiful smile, and saphire tattoos all over her body that I could see.
"Yeah, just got here." I answered.
"Word of advice," She said, "don't stay. The High Priestess here isn't in the service of our Goddess."
"I know." I agreed. As they looked at me suprised, I pointed my thumb at the trucks, "Mind if I come?"
"Sure," she said, "You want a ride?"
"No thanks," I replied, walking over to a black lamborgini, "I found one."
"That's the High Priestess Neferet's car, you know?" The girl smirked.
"So? I thought she wasn't with the Goddess anymore?" I countered. I got into the car, finding the keys in the glove compartment, and started the car.
"I'm Zoey, by the way." The girl said, "these are my-"
"Hey, Zoey," I said, "could we save the intro's for somewhere the evil High Priestess isn't breathing down our necks?"
"Yeah, your probably right," Zoey agreed, "Just follow us then."
I watched as the last of the stuff was being put in the trucks, when I saw something by the back tires of the truck I was sitting in earlier. MY DUFFLE BAG! I jumped outta the car and ran over to everyone and grabbed my bag before anyone noticed. As I threw my bag in the passager seat, a pair of red eyes in the darkness disappeared. I shook my head clear, obviously I was imagining things. As the two trucks started to leave the parking lot, followed by a hummer, I drove up behind them. We drove maybe ten or fifteen minutes before everyone started to stop. I drove around them, following the hummer into a small parking lot.
As everyone was getting out of the hummer and trucks, more people started coming out of a rusted gate, they started to unload the trucks. As I got outta the car, a girl with short blonde hair with her hands on her hips and a stern expression on her face; and a guy about as tall as me, with sandy blonde hair, and the same look, approached the girl named Zoey.
My goodness, Z," She said with a kind of southern belle accent, "if ya'll woulda just waited a little longer, we woulda helped."
"Yeah, I don't like the idea of not being able to protect you If Neferet tried something." the guy said.
"I know, but you guys were so tried, I didn't wanna bother you with this," Zoey defended, "Besides, Darius was with us."
I was putting my duffle bag on the hood of the car, and reaching in for my jacket, when the guy asked about me.
"I don't know," Zoey said, "he just arrived at the House of Night."
Feeling mutiple eyes on me I stood up staight, to put on my jacket, when I heard a gasp, and what I think was a question about my bandages. I turned around to see Zoey shrug, and everyones eyes on me. Zoey turned back to the blonde and started talking again. Oh well, I said in my head, better get this over with. I grabbed my duffle bag and headed over to everyone else. As I got to the others, the blonde girl was just finishing her sentence.
"-he'll have to room with one of the other guys." she finished.
"Whoa!" I said, loud enough to make Zoey jump, as I tried not to smile, "Sorry, but I don't room with people." I turned to see a short, scrawny kid walking to the truck. "Hey shorty!" I shouted to him, he turned to face me with a slightly annoyed look, "Sorry about the insult, but I need you help."
We met up at the gate, when he said, "It's okay, I'm use to it. I'm Ant." he stretched out his hand.
"Jason." I smiled, taking his hand in the traditional forearm grab.
"So, what can I do for you?" Ant asked.
"I need you to show me around, here." I replied, "I heard I had to room with someone, and that's not cool with me. So I figured if someone showed me around, I could find a place to crash."
"Well, all the rooms are taken up really so..." Ant said.
"Trust me, okay. I'll find something." I said as we walked in.
Ant showed me that the enterance to where they lived was a hole in the ground, which led to the old prohibition tunnels. He showed my where the kitchen was (if you could call it that), and the rooms. He was just about to show me where the bathrooms and showers were upstairs, when a hole in the wall caught my attention. I walked over to the hole, studying its dimentions, seeing if it was big enough, when Ant gound me.
"There you are." Ant said. What are you doing?"
"Just thinking if its big enough." I answered.
"The rooms are bigger than-" Ant started, before I interupted.
"Ant, I told you I don't like sharing a room, now just back up," I stated, putting my hands on the ground as I closed my eyes, "I need to focus."
When I heard Ant take four steps back, I started to focus on the earth.I thought of the great redwood trees in California, and how green the plants were in Washington. I thought of the smell of fresh cut grass, and how strong the cactus's are. Then I heard Ant take in a sharp breath. That was all I need to go the extra mile. I focused on the living creatues that made the earth there home. I felt a pulse of energy move through the ground as every live thing in its path shined in the darkness of my minds eye.I felt Ant twitch through the air, as I opened my eyes to see what I was expecting. A green light of lace designs and tribal art and runes, shined through the badages around my left arm, chest back, neck, and forehead.
"Earth," I said, focusing on the ground beneath me again, "come to me." Just then the earth in the hole in the wall began to sink and level of every now and then, in a cricle, to form a stair case. I looked back at Ant's stunned expression smiling. "Yeah," I grinned, "I'm awesome. Come on, you can help me with sizing everything out."
With a smile on his face Ant followed me down the stairs to a long dark hallway. Ant told me how many people there were and came up with how big the rooms should be. After makeing the first two rooms, I had an idea about making a common of sorts. We talked it over for a while as we worked on the other rooms. Half way through the sceond wall of room we decided to do it, but promised to keep it a secret. I knelt down in front of the wall, picturing a tunnel that leads to a huge room. When I opened my eyes I dug my fingers into the hard floor, as the wall in front of me began to split open into a tunnel, like the doorways made for the rooms, and ended in an earthshaking crack. We heard people talking at the top of the stone staircase, and footsteps coming down. Paniced, I shut the wall opening, Stomped my foot making a small table and two seats and told Ant to sit as a shadow danced its way down the stairs.
"Huh?" someone said, as they looked at us.
"Got any three's?" I said.
"Go fish!" Ant grinned.
"Okay, you have to be cheating, that's the four time in a row!" I exclaimed. Thank goddess I had that deck of cards in my pocket, I thought. "Oh, hey guys." I said, looking over Ant's shoulder as everyone walked into the hall.
"What's up?" Ant asked, looking back at them.
"What's up?" the blonde girl with the country twang said, "You tell me. Is this what all that fussin' was about?"
"Fussin'?" I asked, looking at her, "What fussin'? Ant did you hear a fussin'?"
"Nope." Ant replied, "You think she means the rooms?"
"Maybe," I agreed. "You mean these?" i said, stomping my foot again, making the doorways to the rooms open again. As I looked at the others, I knew their attention was stuck on my arm, and only half on the rooms. "see, now I don't haveta share a room, I can just pick one." I smirked.
"How...?" she said, looking back at me and my arm.
"Wow..." Zoey said, coming down the starts, "Stevie rae did you-"
"Looks like our new friend here has an affinity for-" the blonde said, before I interupted.
"Peace!" I shouted before making a run for the room I threw my duffle bag in, at the end of the hall.
"Wait!" Some one shouted after me, followed by a bunch of footsteps running at me.
Fire, I thought, come to me! I watched as my tattoo switched from glowing green to glowing red. I took a deep breath, turned around and exhaled sharply, shooting out a stream of fire. The fire illuminated the hallway as they kept following me. As I ran through the doorway, I turned around and shouted, "This room is my property, and I forbid anyone from entering without my permission!" A light shimmered infront of the doorway. As I backed away, the blonde girl and Zoey crashed into an invisible wall. I sighed, grateful it worked.
The sandy haired guy and a tan guy with raven black hair, went to help them up, the sandy haired guy glared at me.
I just turned away, my arm glowing from red back to green, as the wall closed beind me. There were mumbled sounds behind the wall, as I pulled a blanket out of my duffle bag, the doorway opened again. I looked over suprised, to see Zoey and the other girl standing in the doorway, with the others behind them.
"Yeah," the blonde said, crossing her arms, "I can do that too."
"Cool," I said, sarcastically, "Goodnight." Shutting the doorway again, I asked earth to keep it closed until I left. Feeling the earth struggle to open for the blonde girl, and stay closed for me, I quickly made a tunnel that led back to the surface. After I changed my clothes, I grabbed my jacket, and ran up the tunnel, closing it behind me. "Thank you earth," I said gratefully, "for everything you have done for me today. And thank you too, fire. You may both go." When my arm stopped glowing green or red, and was back to being plain white bandages, I smiled. Looking up at the lighting sky, I could see it was about 5:47am. Dawn was at 6am. So I walked around the depot, to the small parkinglot where I left the lamborgini, got in and drove around as I went in search of a diner.
Yeah! oh man that was tough to come up with! but i digrees.
You guys know what to do, and If you DONT...i dont know, i guess ill still be writing lol later!
