Hey there ;] how's it goin? Thanks for reading this; I appreciate it, especially because my other stories haven't been much of a success. This is kind of a copy of Daughters of Darkness but without Mary-Lynette. I absolutely love Mare, but I wanted to do my own version of the story and to do that I felt I absolutely had to put my own character in her place. Forgive me if you don't like that idea, maybe I'll make a story with her sometime too. So, with that said (typed?) please enjoy :D [I don't own anyone except for my o.c.s although you probably knew that ;D]

Chapter 1: Midnight Meet up

The wind was surprisingly settled tonight. The trees were mostly still, except for when the occasional gust of wind blew gently and rustled their leaves. I loved being out at this time, when most people were in bed or silently watching a little midnight TV, but tonight I was waiting for someone to join me. Another wind blew and tousled my midnight black hair around my face. I huffed and considered tying it up, fiddling with the rubber band on my wrist, but when warm arms wrapped around my waist I decided it could wait. "Miss me?" My boyfriend, Dante, asked, holding me so close that I could feel his breath on my ear. I leaned back, into his chest, and nodded, a small smile pulling at the corners of my mouth. "Did you and Michael go to basketball tryouts today?" I asked him. They were always signing up for sports in the summer, and they always did it together. "Yeah, and as usual we were the best ones there," He swirled me around to face him, and with a wink added, "Probably wishin' they only had to have two players on the team by now." I laughed at his cockiness, this was not unlike him. "I'm sure they are, Danny," I said with a sarcastic smile. He grinned a lopsided grin and kissed me on the cheek. I guess you could consider me lucky to be with him. He was like the popular head-of-the-football-team type that you see in movies. He was tall, dirty blonde, well built, and definitely popular. He had high cheekbones and a broad smile with silver-blue eyes. Honestly I didn't know what he saw in me. I was skinny with only slight curves, with long, wavy, black hair that cascaded down my back. I was only five foot five, not too tall but not exactly short either. My lips were thin and pale pink, and my eyes were light gray. I wasn't exactly what you'd call hot, but I guess I was kind of pretty. "So how've you been? Miserable without me?" He asked with a smirk. I pouted and nodded, "I don't know what I would've done if I had to wait any longer to see you." He laughed and pulled me into his chest, letting his hand rest on the small of my back. "It's okay now," He mock-comforted me, the smile that was surely on his face clear in his voice, "I'm just glad I made it in time." I laughed and shoved him playfully. "I can tell," I teased, tousling his hair with my fingertips. He leaned forward slightly, so his face was right above mine, and hovered there for a minute. I smiled up at him, making it as flirty as I could manage. He grinned back at me and the next thing I knew his lips were on mine. I smiled wider against his lips and wrapped my arms around his neck, standing on my toes to bring me closer. His arms were almost instantly around my waist, pulling me even closer to his body. I could feel the heat radiating from his skin and I enjoyed the way it seemed to consume me. "Annabel," He murmured my name against my lips as we kissed in that small park in Briar Creek.
