Vampire Rider
Summary:
When you die, you die. You don't wake up as different person or in a different place. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to Alyia and Steph. EragonXvampires.
Chapter one:
Something Strange
Stephanie groaned as her eyes opened and her surroundings came into focus. Oh, okay. I'm just in a forest. With this she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open and she stood up. In a forest?! What the hell?! The last thing that I remember was being hit by a truck!
She sat up fully, or at least tried to. She swore as something slammed into her wings. She turned her long neck back to look at them. Wait a freaking' second...I have wings! She tried to turn around fully, but ended up on her back. Well, talk about irony. I'm supposed to be dead, I think. Maybe this is just some idle fantasy they give you while you're waiting to be judged. Yeah... With this in mind she managed to get up and decided to explore the interests of this fantasy.
While in this fantasy of mine I guess I can come up with a different name. What name, what name to pick for myself? I always did fancy the name Soyala. My name shall be Soyala from now on! The newly named Soyala started to look at her new body. Black scales, four legs, claws on each foot, and a nice looking tail.
She had black ivory horns and large strong wings. She grinned and leapt into the air, only to fall onto her face. She got up with a grump. I might have strong wings, but I can't fly! I'm going to need a large rock to practice on. Soyala grumped as she started to look for a large cliff of some sort to build her wing strength. Soyala found one and gripped it tightly with her claws, and thrust with her wings. Slowly she started to pull up against the rock face, and soon figured out how to fly.
When she became confident that she wouldn't plummet to the ground, she leapt off of the rock face and started to beat her wings in the air. After free falling for a few feet, she soon started to hover, and then fly. She quickly figured out how to turn, do flips, and turn directly around. She tried to breathe fire, but black smoke came out and not else. Damn it! I can't breathe fire yet! Oh well, nothing but practice will help with that problem. But I'm hungry right now, time to go look for something to eat.
Alyia slowly opened her eyes, trying to focus after a few moments she realized someone was standing over her, looking at her as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She scrambled backwards, jerking out of his reach before he had a chance to say something. He laughed. "You're certainly jumpy." He replied. She stared at him.
He laughed again, a sound slightly comforting in the fact that she was supposed to be dead. "What's your problem? Never been knocked out before?" He asked. He shook his head. "I'm Murtagh by the way, who are you?" Alyia froze. I can't tell him my real name, but I don't know where I'm at. If I say a name that sounds to foreign he'll know I'm lying. I'll just have to take a chance. "My name is Shiri. I don't know what happened. Where am I?" Something seemed to fit into place when she said that.
Murtagh smiled at her. "You're in Alagaesia. Come on, I'll see if I can clear things up about you and what happened." Murtagh extended his hand, and slowly, Alyia took it. No, not Alyia...Sheri.
Murtagh looked at her startled. "Have you been in any water recently?" Shiri shook her head. He smiled gently. "It's not a problem, come on." A slow blush crept up her cheeks as he tugged her closer to help her up the rocks.
Soyala flew through the air, but close to the ground. It was fast approaching night and the stars were starting to show through. For now, she allowed herself to toss the leash to her instincts and was currently hunting. So far, she had yet to find food. The whole west side seemed barren of any food. Snorting, she quickly turned around and started to fly east, back to the place where she had woken up.
The further she went the more prey she saw, licking her lips and flew lower to the ground. She saw a weak deer and zoomed in on it. Pulling her hind legs out in front of her, she grabbed the deer and quickly put it in her front legs and bit into it. The blood flowed into her mouth every quickly and she started to suck it like a baby to its mother's milk. She found the taste of it's flesh something that she would only eat as a last resort since it tasted disgusting to her while the blood tasted like honey.
She finished the deer and took off after another one. An hour after her hunting, she was full, and she discovered that she had just drained a whole herd of deer of blood. She looked at the dead bodies. Um...Am I supposed to do that? She sighed and took off again. She might as well find some place to sleep for the night. If nothing else, this fantasy life was starting to wear her out.
She found a hollow cave just big enough for her and she slept soundly once she had climbed in.
