I know, i know its really short and its not finished and it took me like a zillion years to write it but i have the worst case of writers block. plus mocks next week so no more internet or life till its over!anyway here it is, just a taster.!
Vic sat across from me on the train.
I found it had to keep from chuckling. She was wearing a big expensive dress, which took up most of the cabin.
Her copper hair was tied back in a bun and she wore a top hat tilted jauntily to the side.
Vic started at me angrily daring me to laugh and then she'd bring out the big guns, my fugly outfit. I wore a jesters outfit. It had puffy sleeves and was embroidered with intricate patterns. I felt like a fool and wanted to go barefoot. I had no idea how this stupid clothes were fashionable, but everyone on the train in high class was wearing them.
We sat silently waiting impatiently to get off the train. It was intolerable. I could run twice as fast as this train, but we had to travel with the cattle.
There was a masquerade ball in Venice tomorrow and we had to be inconspicuous. The scenery floated by slowly like a dull rotating picture.
We were in our own cabin and Victoria was looking through the door at the other cabin. I followed her gaze and saw what she was looking at.
By the look of him I knew he was a Vampyre. He had soft blonde hair and his face was full of wisdom. He wore a costume like mine, except with bluish tones. I knew he was going to the ball to.
Victoria stood up quickly. She smoothed out her dress and went to the door into the hallway.
Vic what are you doing?
She silenced me with her hand and opened the door of the opposite cabin. The man looked up unsurprised and calm. I wondered what she was doing? I shuddered at the thought of it being another ex-boyfriend, but kept me mouth shut knowing the trouble it had caused last time. She sat on the seat opposite him and smiled at me.
Hello Carlisle. Long time, no see!
The man called Carlisle smiled and kissed her waiting hand. My stomache churned and I felt my lunch coming back. It was another bloody boyfriend!
The last time I saw you was in Volterra more than 500 years ago. I was sad when you never joined, anyway let it be the past. How are you my dear?
I was confused. Volterra? He must have been part of the Voltuiri. I breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the door.
Hello Carlisle. I'm James.
We shook hands. I felt his stony grip in mine. We sat in Carlisle's cabin for the rest of the journey. He told us stories about his past. He had left the order a few years back and was now going to Venice for the ball before he headed to America to start afresh. We told him about our journeys.
We told him how we first met.
About the strange Empires and savage wars we had encountered. The train began to slow. Carlisle looked out the window at the platform coming into view. I turned to Victoria and stood up to get the bags.
Come on Vic. It's show-time!
