Summary: A bored vampire decided to try human high school to find himself a life, only ends up discovering his soulmate, and must confront a past he thought he'd dealt with in order to keep her.
Notes: feedback would be loved.
Part 1.
The feeling was an awkward one and Sarah had no idea what it was, or meant, mainly because she had never experienced it before. It was an odd mixture of fear and anticipation, hitting her after she'd woken when the alarm clock had blasted her ears off.
Like that odd feeling you have when you've just woken from a dream, or think you have, then ten minutes later you wake up for real, confused and not sure if you're in reality or not.
She dragged herself up, hoping a hot shower would make her feel better. No improvement. Getting dressed and going through her morning routine Sarah still felt detached from the world. It was creepy. What had happened between now and last night that made her feel so different?
She had come home from school, done her homework and everything had been fine. She'd watched some TV, and browsed around on the Internet for a while, goner to bed feeling fine.
Now...all these weird feelings were plaguing her and she didn't know why or what it was. Her parents had already left for work when she went downstairs, which wasn't surprising. No interesting mail, bills and her Mom's magazine subscriptions. She grabbed a breakfast bar and the books she'd left on the table last night.
The streets of her hometown were the same as always. The usual flow of people were about, kids heading for school, business people heading for work, moms with children too young for school heading into town or the nearest city.
No one talked to her as Sarah blended in amongst them. Something she was perfectly used to. She was the quiet type of girl whose name people knew, but didn't really have nay friends. She was planning on going to New York when she graduated that summer, to be a Broadway superstar.
She loved to sing and act, but never got cast in the plays the drama people put on, apart from maybe being in the backing chorus. She wasn't cheerful enough, or popular enough to get starring roles.
"He's coming."
At first Sarah was confused, she'd heard the voice just passing by. It was Beth Mandrill, the popular girl, standing at the top of the school steps.
"He's coming for you, Sarah."
"Who's coming?"
Beth's expression was distant, her eyes glittering strangely. Her lips were curved into an odd smile. "*Him*," she said. "The one who will change your world."
"Okay..." Sarah never believed in things like preordained destiny. She wondered what Beth had been smoking. In the four years Sarah had been at St. Francis High, Beth hardly so much as glanced at her. Sarah didn't even know Beth knew her name. She ran with the best crowd, the fashion setters, the cheerleaders, the girls who looked perfect and dated all the stars from the sports teams.
"Beth, come on, I hear there's some hot new guy arrived today." Libby Mathews, Beth's best friend grabbed her arm, dragging Beth away from Sarah in another direction. Beth blinked, shaking her lion's mane of golden blonde hair. She looked confused for a few minutes, then pulled herself together,
"Sure, okay, who is he?" She hurried away with Libby, ignoring Sarah.
Sarah shrugged and headed for her locker. Beth's words echoed in her mind. ~He's coming. Him. The one who will change your world.~
What the hell was *that* supposed to mean?
