Chapter 1 : The escape
A small growl escaped from my chest as my least favorite guard from the Voltari (not that I liked any of them) passed my cell. I have been here five years and I still don't know what Aro wants me for. The guard whose name is Phoenix smirked. "Don't worry" he says in his mock voice the sound radiating from his throat like a thousand tons of steel "I'll remember not to kill you ". I rolled my eyes to let him know that he was being a major physco but he just came closer to the bars and whispered so silently that I had to strain my ears to hear, and I'm a vampire, well a half one anyway " You just have no idea,dont you " I raised my eyebrows to let him know that it was a little weird but he just kept on looking at me like I was some famous painting and If you study it close enough you would get a million dollars then he just broke his trance and walked away, but like I said the guy is weird so its expected.
Later that day, about near midnight which is the only time that they let us out of our cells I was walking the garden. The Voltari had about three more half vamps (vampires) apart from me. They are kind of my best friends. I think that's probably because I don't have anyone to talk to because when I was living in L.A I was mostly a loner .Not .I partied night and day, skipping classes and occasionally a few run up with the cops for underage drinking. My life then was a blast. How I got stuck here is a complete demonstration of why your parents say do not follow strangers. Before I tell you any more about my life I suggest you go crawl under a pillow, burn this book and flush it down the toilet .If you think you are brave enough to know the ups ,downs and upside downs of my life read on. The book is all yours. But if you want to know the endangers of my life, I will give you only one warning .GOOD LUCK.
As I was saying, I was in the garden talking to the other half-blood (It's another name for half vampires) when Phoenix tells every one but me to go. Perfect. Now the poor dude is probably going to tell me some vampire history crap and ask me to explain. This is also a next reason why I hate him. He treats me like I'm some computer that stores every single word he says. I wonder when he'll get that he's not that important enough for me to spend time listening to him. But I guess I should start listening before he sends me to Jane again. That is not something I recommend for anyone.
I try and tune in my brain to catch his phrases. " When you were born, your parents did every thing possible to protect you ." I looked in his eyes for some hint of smugness or even the slightest wink of humor but instead I find nothing. His face was expressionless when he said the next sentence. "They died trying to protect you." Tears rolled down my face in waves just like the rapid heat that was now filling my body. I started shaking. Really, really badly. Phoenix looked fearful and took a step back. I have never been so angry in my life. My parents, the only reason I had stayed here anyways was because Aro said he knew them. Phoenix trying to calm me only seemed like background noise. A growl escaped and then I charged. Even though it was useless I ran straight into him. I was shocked that he backed up a little before crouching for my attack. Then I really thought about it. Why was he even in an attack stance? I was a half-blood, a minor compared to him. Then I looked down and realized that I had paws. I, Jade Black was a werewolf and a vampire. A union of the blood line. I growled, stepped back and howled at the moon. I was now officially on my own. Without even a glance at what was to become my past home I jumped over the walls and into the darkness. My black fur giving a clear outline of my true form I disappeared but that wasn't the end. Heck, it wasn't even the beginning. All I was doing was finding out exactly why the Voltari is one of the scariest vampire covens in the world
