Chapter 1
Please be kind this is my first book, open to feedback, constructive criticism and suggestions.
This is a town solely populated by vampire, werewolves, faeries, shapeshifters and witches. but you can only be one... or so they thought
Hi! My name is Rosebella Dragomir. I’m part Vampire and part Witch, which makes me a hybrid, no one likes a hybrid. You see after you’re 18 you’re not allowed to have any relationships with someone of a different supernatural species, however, my mother (witch) and my father (vampire) had me out of wedlock when they were 17. So me and my two friends Cara Gray and Lilac Grove, who are in the same situation as me (Cara part werewolf part witch and Lilac part shapeshifter part witch). We are considered social outcasts, freaks and, to some, criminals, my own mother hates me. So as you can imagine our lives are hard enough, even without the numerous secrets we’re all hiding (not to each other, but to the rest of the world).
Rosebella’s POV:
I stare into the fog as my bus stops outside an oval, when a shadowy figure steps out of the shadows, as they get closer she can make out the outline of his face and his eyes, his light sea green eyes lock with mine and I spring forward with a jolt as I recognise them “shit” I curse under my breath. But the bus starts moving and I reason that there’s no way he could keep up. Right?
I arrive at school and immediately I sense a threat and my vampire half has me on edge. I grab my books from my locker and head to the small corner of the library no one goes to. I’m tapping my foot repeatedly when I heard “Rose?” coming from behind me in a worried tone.
Cara’s POV:
As I walk into the library I know somethings up immediately. I see Rosebella tapping her feet and looking, quite frankly, terrified, as I step closer I can sense her fear of a threat (a wolf perk) and I race over to her “Rose?” I’m extremely worried at this point, usually, she can tell who’s coming at her from a mile away. But she was genuinely shocked when I said her name, as she turned around I could see the tears in her eyes and I knew. There was only one person who could make her cry and that was “Jason?” I say it as a question but I know the answer. she gives me a meek nod. “Bastard” I declare in a low voice. “do you want me to kill him?”
“mnmo”
“Wrong answer”
“No, he’ll kill you!” She practically screams this.
“I would like to see him try,” I said, coldly
“You know what he did! Don’t you dare leave me!" I know I’m pushing the boundaries by continuing this fight right now so I tell her what she wants to hear “I’m never leaving you... and no one can take me away” she hugs tighter as if I might disappear if she lets go. “not without a fight” I whisper to myself “What was that Cara?” Rose innocently looks up at me.
“Nothing sweetheart, let’s go to class now”
