Chapter One Questions

Cora

 

My legs dangled off the arm of the black chair, I was sitting on. My head pounded. I looked around the white room, the only other item in here was a opposing black arm chair. A girl with brown hair handed me a cup of tea. I held it with both hands and tapped a rhythm on the glass cup. The door opened and shut, I continued to stare at the wall.

 

“What's your name?” I asked. I refused to make eye contact.

 

“Why does it matter.” He voice sounded tired. I peered at him from the corner of my eye. His red hair was tousled, and bags framed his eyes. He looked exhausted.

 

“You know mine, so it's only fair.” I said, and stopped tapping on the cup.

 

“Asher.” He replied simply and took a seat in the chair. I took a sip of tea and sat up right in the chair. I placed the cup in my lap and glared at him.”May I ask you some questions?” He asked politely. I shrugged lazily. He was going to ask me questions whether I said yes or no, so my answer didn't matter.

 

“Do what you wish.” I took another sip of tea.

 

“Where are you from?” He asked. He then pulled out a clipboard and placed it on his lap.

 

“Uh. I'm from Minnesota. “ I stuttered. My memory was fuzzy, I hardly remembered what had happen in the past. He scribbled my answer down on the paper.

 

“Last name?” He looked up at me, his bright blue eyes were full of curiosity.

 

“Chambers.” I replied.

 

“Age?” I pondered the question, was I eighteen or seventeen.

 

“Eighteen.” I said with a hint of hesitation. He nodded and continued writing. “Is this really necessary?” I asked. He nodded again.

 

“I must know as much as possible about you, since you will be staying here.” He said.

 

“Look I should be dead, the fact that you revived me was totally unnecessary.” I stood up. “Why did you save me?” I looked down at him.

 

“I saw you die, and your so young. I knew I could save you so I did. ” He said.

 

“I wanted to be dead.” I growled.

 

“Why?” He asked, he stood up as well. He was a good four inches taller then me. He looked about 6'3”. Next to him, I felt short.

 

“I have my reasons.” I crossed my arms and stared up at him, though being shorter then he was I wasn't very intimidating.

 

“Your not full human are you?” He looked down at me.

 

“Of course not, You injected vampire DNA in my blood.” I replied with a smirk.

 

“You weren't human before that.” He said abruptly. His hair fell over his eyes, and we were no longer playing twenty questions, he was dead serious. I gnawed on the inside of my cheek.

 

“Your not entirely human either.” I muttered. I set my empty cup on the chair behind me. He looked at me, his lips were pressed in a straight line. “So tell me, why should I reveal my secret,  and the reason I want to be dead right now. To a man who hides more things then I do.” I snarled.

 

"Fine then don't answer the question, but in time I will find out." He said. "Celeste has a room for you, She will escort you there in a few minutes." He tore his gaze from mine and exited the room without another word. I looked at my wrist, I pulled the sleeves off my arm and looked at my  crescent moon tattoo. My hands instantly went to my neck, I felt the circular pendant dangling from the chain on my neck. I sighed happily, I was glad he hadn't taken it off.  The door opened, and the brown haired girl entered.

 

"Follow me." She said. I yanked the sleeve back down over my wrist and exited the room, following closely behind her. I looked around desperate for a escape. I didn't want to be locked up in here and become a science experiment. There were only a few doors, and most of them were heavily guarded with guards with black shirts. I growled, I couldn't take them all on.

 

The girl stopped in front of a white door. "I hope you enjoy your stay here, Cora." She said with a smile.

 

"What's your name?" I asked.

 

"Celeste." Right, Asher had mentioned that, it must have slipped my mind. I opened the door and entered my new room. A single bed stood in the middle of the room, and a black comforter laid over it. The door shut quickly, I ran back and looked out the window, Celeste looked at me and smiled then took off. I grabbed the doorknob and jiggled it. Locked. I growled at my stupidity, how could I trust a scientists assistant. I punched the wall, and instantly pulled back my arm and cradled it in my other arm. That was stupid, I will admit. If only I was still dead, If only he had never saved me. I felt like I was a caged animal, sure I wasn't  human but I didn't deserve to be treated this way. I carefully un-hooked my necklace and looked at it in the palm of my hand.

 

"I'm sorry Dad." I kissed the necklace and then placed it back on my neck. This was one of many reasons I wanted to be dead. Now that I was alive and stronger than before, I will attempt to save my father even if it kills me again. I looked down at my feet, my combat boots still attached to them, I smirked. I reached into the leg of the boots and pulled out a knife. I held the knife firmly in my hand and turned to the door. I shoved the knife in the hey hole and twisted. My other hand pulled open the door. 

"They really should check their patients for weapons." I giggled and peered out into the hallway. The guards were still posted at every exited in the halls. I growled and looked around. Come on Cora, your better then this! Think! I ordered myself. I looked up at the lamps that hung from the ceiling, I looked around once more before jumping into mid-air and landing on the top of one. The next one was only a few feet away, if I could only jump onto it. I eased myself towards the edge of the lamp and pushed myself off. I landed gracefully onto of the next one. Just keep doing this and your out of here. I thought to myself.

Author's Note

So your thoughts about Cora. Will she get caught while she jumps from lamp to lamp attempting to escape?
How does Asher come off? Self guarded? open? Your thoughts on him.
Any thoughts about the whole chapter?

Hmm.... Before she was dead, she was "human". Exactly what was she? Was she just human or something else? Cora seems pretty cool; I would definitely hang out with her. She was right about checking patients for weapons. I would keep one in my boots if I had any boots. Asher came off mysterious, and well guarded. I enjoyed this chapter and I shall continue reading more.

[The Fallen]

Ahaha Many questions that will be answered. Thanks for reading

[Savior of Time]

[Salar Majak]

[Infectious-Turtle]

A few grammar mistakes, but otherwise really good, I can't wait to keep reading!

[The Fallen]

Thanks

[Lozzie]

Okay... thoughs; Cora seems lost, mentally lost, as if she doens't knwo whta she wants from life and worried as if the things she may want will end in a disaster
Asher is definately self guarded, closed off from everything, the things that have happened in his past have greatly hurt him and he is still recovering over the loss of everything that was or is precious to him...
Puting both Asher and Cora together gives an interesting group of characters :) Can't wait to see what mischeif they come up with :)

Chapter= AWESOME!!!! I'm reading on :)

[The Fallen]

Haha Thank you

[Dark Rider]

So far, I'm enjoying this. I love the details that you put into all of your books, and the characters are so well delevoped that they almost seem real. I think Cora is going to get caught at the last second byAsher as well. XD

Can't wait to read the next chapter!

[The Fallen]

Thank you! (:

[Dark Rider]

You're welcome! ^^

[The Invisible Girl]

This is amazing!!!!
Cora is awesome she kind of reminds me of Destiny! :)
Can't wait for the next chapter!! :D

[The Fallen]

Yeah she is one of the rough copies of her shes more of the head strong and tough side of Destiny xD Thanks

[The Invisible Girl]

You're welcome!! :D

[Bella Luna]

I love this!!! I really like Cora's character because she's so moody and suspicious. She reminds me of Arianna haha I have a feeling she will get caught because Asher is a lot more alert than she realizes. Asher seems super guarded and kind of mean. He saves her but then interrogates her and locks her up. This is so good! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!

[The Fallen]

Haha yea Asher's alert but she has secrets she can so get out I think xD I can't write until my writers block is gone D:

[Bella Luna]

I'm having the same problem right now :(

[The Fallen]

I am trying to make myself write but now my head hurts alot so I gotta stop...:/

[Bella Luna]

Aw well feel better!

[The Fallen]

xD Thank. I think it's cause I'm stressed out with stuff at school :/ Maybe after exams I'll be better so two weeks ..thats to long for me...

[Felicity's Eve]

This is incredible!!!!!!

I love Cora. I love her personality and her heritage (well, what I know of it so far) and I love, love, LOVE her attitude!

I think that she'll make it pretty far before she's caught. Or she might get outside before she's caught after a little while. Either way, I'm not betting on her fully escaping. No siree :3

I like Asher. He seemed a bit guarded, yet open at a few moments. I like him and his character structure so far. :)

I adored this chapter overall. It was well-paced and kept me hooked all the way through :D

Next one ASAP!!!! :D

[The Fallen]

Haha thanks!!!

[Felicity's Eve]

:D

[Felecia]

Lovely lovely *sings* Can't wait for more! (I'm sorry if this is short XD)
*sighs* you're beside me right now demanding a longer review so...
QUESTION TIME
Um....*thinks* Why did she want to die? Is she suicidal? 0.0 She better not be suicidal! Okay...come down *takes deep breaths*
Alright, so I'm definatley going to keep reading this book just saying XD
Asher....hm, well LOVE him for one thing. He's definately self-guarded, but with a bit of prodding he could probably be open...(or not but whatever)
Cora is interesting...definately not a Frankenstein monster, I can tell you that. She seems really smart too, kind of trained for things like this.
I wonder....
Anyway! Enough with my rambling. I enjoyed this keep writing!

[The Fallen]

Oh I swear I love you!!!! :D
xD Thanks for reading, I make you write a long review and This is all I gots to say

[Felecia]

You're welcome :D And I love you too!
