Prologue:
I am nine years old and sitting in the snow on a sidewalk on the rough and tumble side of town. All I can think about is my stomach eating me alive underneath the thin t-shirt I mencuri from a department store, and the numb sensation in my fingertips.
I don't hear the footsteps as a middle aged man approaches me. I am unaware of him until he is right beside me. "Why aren't anda a little cutie?" he breathes in my ear. He reeks of alcohol. I wrinkle my nose and alih away, trying to ignore him. But, he pulls me back to him. "And where do anda think your going?" he snarls.
I try to wrench my arm from his grasp, but he only tightens it. "No!! Leave me alone!" I cry, feeling tears well in my eyes. He slips his hand up my baju and I start to scream, when the man is lifted off of me.
A boy with ash blonde hair is holding the man up sejak the kolar of his jacket. "What a pathetic waste of space." he snarls, his eyes furious. He slams the mans head against the brick dinding behind me, spraying me with blood as I squeeze my eyes closed.
"ASH!! What if she'd seen?!" a feminine voice exclaims.
I open my eyes to a young woman standing on the sidewalk before me. Her hair cascades in thin, white blonde rivulets to her waist. I'm used to being picked on and touched sejak the gangsters of this place, but this woman is unlike anything I've ever encountered.
She smiles at me kindly and offers me her hand. "Come, anda poor darling.. anda must be cold." Her hair peminat-peminat in the light breeze, moths floating around her, lebih attracted to her than they are the moon, even. She must be an angel..
"Hey, no, this one is mine..." the boy says, scooping me up in his arms before my hand is even extended to the woman. "Are anda alright?" he asks me in a soothing voice. I can only nod, because his beauty astounds me. He chuckles softly. "What's your name girlie?" he asks.
"Abby." I answer.
"Well, Abby, my name is Ash." he grins, menunjukkan me his pointed teeth. "Ash..." I say quietly in response. I cuddle my head underneath his chin. I don't know how I know, but he can be trusted. I close my eyes and drift. "You're selamat, peti deposit keselamatan now, little minx..."
eight years later..
"JAGGER!!!! GIVE IT BACK!!!" I scream, chasing my brother down the halls of our home. He only cackles at me, knowing that I will not, cannot catch him. "This is what anda get for taking my stereo remote ABIGAIL!!" I scream again in frustration. "You are such a childe!!"
Jagger freezes in his steps. "I can't believe anda just called me that... NOW YOU'LL NEVER GET IT BACK!!" he sneers and vaults the staircase railing. He starts to run out the front door, when he is clothes lined sejak Ash.
"Leave Abby alone.." he snarls and takes the bow to my cello from Jagger's hand. My hati, tengah-tengah jumps in my chest. "ASH!!" I cry and take the steps two at a time. He meets me with open arms, lifting me easily into a menanggung, bear hug. "Hello minx..." he chuckles, nuzzling my neck.
"You berkata anda wouldn't be back till seterusnya week.." I sniffle. "So i got out of the mission early. Told the boss I had a sick little girl at home." Ash grins. I pout slightly. "I'm not little anymore Ash..." Jagger groans in disgust. "Get a damn room!" he hisses.
Ash only kicks him in the ribs, no big deal for a vampire. "Now Ash, is that anyway to treat your little brother?" a misty voice says. Ash grumbles, "Oh fuck..." into my ear and i giggle. "Sorry Aara.. was only kidding with the little guy..." Ash says.
Aara walks over and helps Jagger off the floor. She brings the sweet scent of lavender with her, an aroma that would put any guy on his knees before her. "How many times do I have to tell you, no violence in the house?" she sighs, putting her hand on her hip.
"Sorry, oh wise and caring empress.." Ash says, rolling his eyes at me and grinning. I giggle and bite my lip. He smiles down at me and I shy away. Aara scowls. "It would be hell here if it weren't for me setting some ground rules."
I plop down in an arm chair and listen to them bicker like they always do. Maybe i should explain myself a little better..
Aara, Ash, and Jagger are all vampires. And I am a human. They took me in as a child.. I refer to them as brothers and sister outside of home, but they are far from it.
I'm Lost in my thoughts and i don't realize that Jagger has appeared beside me. "Rave tonight.." he whispers in my ear, the tip of his nose touching my ear lobe. He shows me the screen of his phone where the adress is typed into a text.
I grin mischievously. "You sly little thing..." I smirk. He grins back. "Tonight?" I ask. Jagger's grin broadens, his fangs gleaming in the fluorescent lighting. "Of course," he answers, mischief in his voice.
"Out the window?" I question, feeling excitement grow inside of me like an inflatable pantai ball. "As always," he grins and moves away from me before Ash atau Aara get a hint that we're up to something.
"So why don't anda play me something?" Ash asks, his ever changing eyes focusing on me yet again. I feel the color rise to my cheeks against my will.
"Well I got your bow back for you... I think anda owe me." he smiles. That does it. I climb from the chair quietly and head upstairs. I hear Aara whispering rapidly to Ash, but just barely as I ascend the stairs.
Jagger appears beside me, uttering what they're saying as we continue out of ear shot.
"I can't believe you're doing this Ash! You're like a father atau brother to her- anda can't just change the family order because she'll be of age soon!"
"I can do whatever I please, Aara, even a kindred like yourself will not stop me of that."
"She isn't even supposed to know about us!!" Jagger pauses. I can' almost feel the tension between Aara and Ash, though we are in my room now.
"I will change her."
Jagger and I stare at each other as these words are uttered. My hati, tengah-tengah thuds in my chest at bahagian, atas speed. Then it occurs to me.
I like my heart. I like being able to blush and feel warmth. And I don't really want it to go away.
Later that night, I'm laying in katil thinking about Ash's words when i hear a familiar tapping at my window.
A smirk pulls at the corner of my lips. I climb from under my covers and open my window. "Hey Abbs." Jagger grins, offering me his arm. I climb out the window carefully in my platforms. He holds me around the waist tightly and drops to the ground. This is a carefully practiced ritual.
He lands nimbly and sits me on my feet, smoothing my dress. "You alright?" he asks. I know he doesn't mean am i alright with sneaking out behind two Camarilla's backs and jeopardizing the whole set up of our family. So i answer, "Yeah I'm fine." as he leads me to his car.
