Chapter 1
"So, remind me again why we had to take a tacky £2 bus when we can afford a limo?" I whined fidgeting restlessly
Leia sighed and turned to face me "The same reason I told you exactly..." She glanced down at her watch "8 minutes ago!"
"Okay I get that we have to save our money, but, seriously, this bus..." I gestured to the bus that enclosed us from outside "What happened to BMW's and Ferraris?" I was getting frustrated now. Didn't this bus driver realise you are supposed to slow down when you reach speed bumps?
"Uhhhhh, Millie you drive me insane, you do know that don't you?" she groaned placing a hand to her forehead
"Eheh, you forget honey, I can read your thoughts!" I chuckled continuing on gazing out of the snow frosted window.
I know that sounds creepy, but I swear it's the truth. About two years ago, Leia and my parents were in a horrific train accident. A head on collision with another train. A shiver runs down my spine every time I think about it. Both our sets of parents died about six months after the accident. When we were left parentless and we didn't have any guardians, we were going to be split up and sent to different orphanages, so I guess you could say we 'took matters into our own hands'. We ran away. Yeah, I know. After we dug into both of our bank accounts, we set of for whatever the world threw at us. I didn't expect rubbish bus rides through an arctic Russia though! Anyway, we weren't actually in the crash but afterwards I went into a huge state of depression and I started self harming. No one could help me get out of it. One dreadful night, the crash was on the news and I completely lost it. I cut myself so badly that I should have bled to death, only I didn't. Leia found me in the kitchen slowly bleeding to my death and she somehow saved me. Ever since that night I can hear her thought and feelings and she can feel my emotions. Weird
"Millie, MILLIE, AMELIA LOUISA BELL!" Leis practically screamed at me as I blanked her.
"Huh?" I asked lazily. A smile played at the corner of her lips and she pointed out of the window.
"We're at our destination!" I looked out of the window and I let out a log low whistle. Who knew Russia was so snowy. I pulled on my mittens and earmuffs but I could hear Leia muttering to herself to try to find some food soon. I placed my woollen hand over her ice cold one and I gave it a friendly squeeze. She immediately calmed down and relaxed visibly. I probably should have mentioned that my Mum and Dad weren't human. Oh yeah and also that Leia is a vampire. You see, I am half vampire and half-half vampire. I know that is confusing but eventually everything should become clear.
