I do not own the VA series. Richelle Mead does. I apologize for the delay but I have been thinking of different things that the story will have in it. It will most likely turn into rated M due to some of the scenes that I have in mind.
As I entered the plane I was officially speechless. That was almost an impossible thing to do but he managed it. They were both laughing at my expression, bastards. I took one step back out the door and looked at the school. Not ONE of my "friends" have even noticed that I wasn't there. I slipped into Lissa's head and she was too busy talking to everyone and never even noticed that I hadn't shown up for breakfast or lunch. Based on the way everyone was talking and looking not a one realized that I was gone. I pulled back out and that made it perfectly clear that they would all be fine. I walked back in the plane and sat down. Abe gave me a wicked smile and said "Welcome to the family business." (A/N he will be hinting a lot threw the story). Zander, to whom I come to become attached to, had a glint of anticipation on his face. And for once I shared that. He had taken me from an outgoing person that was known for being a bitch with a temper too someone that could hide everything from everyone.
By the time Abe had come to gather me (had gotten me graduated early) I had learned Turkish and Russian. He told me that he was planning on me to continue learning different languages because the job that I was being trained for would take me everywhere.
I had always looked forward to traveling. It excited me to know for a fact that I wouldn't be following one person around and not really knowing the details of things.
A few hours and a few bottles of alcohol to easy away the shadow kissed affects; I was attempting to take Adrain's way out of the side effects. I had the two of them laughing at me. I had talking about some of my adventures of when I was out of school before they caught up to us. Than bout half way there I was wondering why I was telling them this. I looked at them. Zander had let his guard down and Abe was his normal nothing bothers me facade. That was when I figured out that these two people where the only family that I had. I couldn't really count on my mother. I doubt she even knew what I had been up too.
We arrived at one of his estates. Why would anyone have more than one? I just took it as another sign that he had way too much money to know what to do with. I figured that I could help him with that by going shopping. Never really been the type of person but I had a feeling that I would need to get quite a few new things.
Anyhow, once we walked out of the car to the house both Zander and I had the same mask that didn't give anything away from us. Where his was just blank mine varied. I could give a slightly amused face or a blank face. I could make a version of almost every emotion and not show anything. Abe had said "Just proves that you belong here even more".
The door opened and some of the guardians had said hello to Abe but didn't acknowledged either Zander and I. He had told Zander to show me where I would be sleeping. We walked to an elevator and he put his thumb on the pad and punched in a number and we went down. I didn't understand why we went down or why we were the only ones that needed codes or anything like that but I just went with the flow.
We walked in and it was like a house under a house. It was cool. Had a kitchen, living room, three bedrooms all with their own bathroom, game room and a Huge gym. I was astounded. Zander asked if I liked it. I could only say "Hell Yeah!"
He had completely let his guard down and it just made me look at him differently. I asked him about why and he said "You will get used to this place being the only place that you can be yourself". I didn't know what to think about that.
He looked at me and decided that this was the time to start to fill me in on what our job really is...
