Chapter 1 [Nightmares and friends]

It was dark, but I could still see.  I was in a room, and I wasnt alone.  This wasnt your normal room, it was huge an empty, and extremely dirt.  This place seemed abandoned.  I try to open my mouth to see if anyone would answer back, but when i opened my mouth to say something i spotted something.  I saw a guy sitting in a chair in the middle of the room.  He must not have felt my presence for he did not look up.  He seemed upset, mad, lost, and confused.  I did not recognize him at all, but he was very attractive.  He has dirty blonde hair that reminded me of sand on a beach, it was all messy, but not in a bad way.  Finally he looked up but seemed to be looking right passed me, like I was invisible.  Blue eyes that looked clear into mine, but didnt see me.  Something felt wrong, something wasnt right.  Where was I?  Suddenly there was another presence...the blue eyes that seemed to be looking past me saw someone.  I turned around to see who it was, but bright lights turned on.  I thought this would hurt my eyes and weaken me, but it did not.  The guy let out a moan and I could see now that he was restrained and was fighting to try nd get out of that chair.  His face was shown with so much pain, I wanted to help him, but I couldnt move I was stuck where I was and had no choice but to see him struggle.  Thats when he screamed, when he did I caught a glimpse of his fangs.  He let out another scream but instead words came from his mouth.  "SERENE!" that was my name, why was he calling my name, I didnt even know him. 

 

I heard my name again, but this time it was a females voice:"Serene, darling, wake up, your going to be late for school."

*pounding on the door*

 

Moan..."Im up, I am up."

 

I got up and chills went through my body, my dream had given me the goosebumps. It creeped me out more than words could explain.

"It was just a dream," I said to try an convince myself.

Yay. Another day of school where we have to there for an hour and get lectured to death.  I got up from my queen sized bed and walked over to the mirror.

 

Sigh, I'm such a mess, my long dark- brown hair is all frazzled and looks like a haysack, and all sweaty from that creepy dream.  My creamy pale skin reflected of the suns rays that found passage ways through my window blinds.  I went over to my closet and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge do to the pile of clothing on the floor. I kicked the pile out of the way not caring where it went and opened my closet to see what I should wear today.  I walked into my closet to take a look at what I had in there.  Hmmm... paramore shirt, no, corset, wore that yesterday, heres a good shirt.  I put on my black shirt that had fangs on it that said "BITE ME!" which I thought was ironic, then pulled on a pair of my skinny jeans, and my worn out black converses. I look up to check the time, 7:20, better hurry up, I rush over to my mirror and put on a little to much eyeliner, which makes my eyes pop.  Brush my point sharp fangs, my long straight hair, grab my backpack and slip on my underoath jacket, and I am out of here. 

I smell bacon, must be my mom cooking breakfast again, even though she knows I dont have time to eat it.  Anything to feel normal I guess.  My mom, Olivia, has always wanted to feel normal or atleast try to be normal.  My dad, Edward, and I play along even though we are okay with what we are.

 "My dear we should go hunting very soon it has been 3 weeks, Serene must be thirsty," my dad says with concern.

"Soon, don't worry, maybe this weekend we will go."

"Good idea, love, well I must go get ready for work, make sure to tell Serene that way she doesn't think we are starving her."

Olivia laughs" I will make sure to do that."

He kisses her hand and off he goes to get ready.

"Hi mom, I already heard about us going hunting this weekend." I give her a big kiss on the cheek.

"Alrite dear, sorry we havent gone in awhile."

"Its ok mom I understand, but I have to go or I am going to be late."

"Ok dear, I love you."

"I love you too." I reach for my car keys and I am out.

Half way down the street I realize that I almost forgot my creative writing homework. I make a quick turn and hurry down the street not caring if there is a cop around. I run up the stairs with incredible speed and look at where I think I had left it last, at my desk.  Yes, there it is, I go to reach for it when my laptop beeps, I have a new message on vampspace.com. No time I will have to check it later, I run down and head back out.

 

************************************************************************************

 

As I pull up into the crowded parking lot of Redwood Highschool, I see that my friends cars are already here.  Lucky for me school hasnt started yet so I go to where me and my friends usually meet, under this big Redwood tree.  There they were just like I knew they would be.  Of course my bestfriend, Nikki Koib was the first to know that I had arrived.  Nothing gets by her mind reading abilities. She has been my bestfriend ever since I had first moved here, which was 3rd grade.  I can tell her everything and not like I have choice. I see a smile cross her face as she hears what I am thinking.  She gets up gracefully and gives me a big hug, the others eyes follow her to see where she is going.  They all smile and wave at me, I do the same.

"I am loving your shirt, I think I have the same one," me and her both got the same shirt at the paramore concert.

"Thanks, its good to know as bestfriend we both have good taste." As we walk over to the others we are laughing.

"Hey everyone."

Aaron-"Heyyyy."

Trinity, gets up and gives me a big hug-"Hey love!"

Kobi, crushing me with his big muscles while giving me a hug-"Hey lil' sister."

"Hey big bro."

Kobi isnt really my brother but he is the oldest out of our group and is very protective of us.  Our group sticks together because we all have special abilities.  Most vampires think we are freaks because of it, but they are wrong, we have a gift. They are just jealous. 

In our group we are all categorized:

I am the unique one, Nikki is Nikki pretty much, Aaron is the brains of the group, Kobi is the muscles and the leader, and Trinity is the sweetheart.

They were all talking about something ,but I was to busy thinking back on my dream.  It felt so real, just being in that room, and I felt like I knew that guy.  What was he doing being tortured...?  Nikki interrupted my thoughts.

"Serene? You okay?" I looked up to see her face filled with concern.

"Yeah...Im fine, I talk to you later."As I said this the bell rang, perfect timing.

I gracefully stood up and gave everyone a hug and said my goodbyes. "See you guys later."

"Wait up Serene," I hear Trinity yell in her delicate soft voice.

I wait for her to catch up and then we run off with un-natural speed to our first class.

you better write some more soon.:)

[LlamaLord]

Hm... interesting to say the very least, so I'll continue (lol).

"My creamy pale skin reflected of the suns rays that found passage ways through my window blinds."
I really liked that line a lot. Great description and a nice flow.

The entire story was great. In some parts the flow was a tad off, but I think it was either a typo or you meant to do it. I also liked how you kept hinting they were vampires from words like, "hunt" and "fangs". You kept the secret until the end which built great suspense. Thanks for the wonderful read! :)

Very intriguing, I like it!
I hope there is more soon.
