Alyss was her name and she always went to this rock everyday. She had friends, a mother and a father but what she found that one night had changed her life forever. Creatures that were said to be myth. They all gathered at that one meadow around that one rock. And there they would meet their prince. Lucian was his name and well you wouldn't believe me if i told you this but he was a vampire. There was a challenge each year. A musical challenge. Odd right? Well if one race lost then the country they resided in would lose the war and their lives at the winners will. In the end they fell in love. An immortal prince and a human.
The year is 2008
The time is evening and the sun is setting.
It is spring and the summer is nearing.
She stormed out of the house. Leaving her mother screaming on the porch. She drowned everything out as she crossed the street. Down the row of trees she couldn't here the yells of her mother. Her mom and dad were always fighting. It was a miracle they hadn't divorced yet. She had just barely made it out of there before the real yelling started. It was once or twice that the cops were called due to the loud cursing and screams coming from her house made by their neighbors.
She entered the meadow where she would always be found at if anyone knew where it was. In the middle was the boulder that looked like it lived a long life. She climbed it and dropped her green messenger bag behind her It was filled with sketch books and pencils. Erasers here and there. On the other side of the boulder was a lake. It was clear blue no human pollution anywhere. The meadow was her place and the suns. The sky was the birds and the tree that surrounded her were also the birds but they share everything. the lake was of course the fish. They were all different colors. Red, orange, blue, green and every other color you can think of.
The sun had almost completely disappeared now. She let the wind carry her short brown hair along. She looked up. It was a full moon tonight. One of her favorite phases.
Lights started to fill the meadow. it wasn't from the moon or stars either. Something else was doing it. Little orbs of light fluttered around the grassy meadow. Creatures walked into the clearing talking and laughing. The water wasn't filled with whole fish anymore. The lakes creatures were half man and half fish. Wolves walked into the clearing, Everything was humming with talk. No One had noticed her sitting there. ' Its all a dream.' she told herself ' its your imagination working up again.' A white cat stood next to her. It had green eyes and a red collar around its white furry neck with a zipper pull dangling from it. She put her hand out for it can smell her. " Your the only thing that is realistic in this dream." She told the cat who looked at her with a confused look.
One of the floating orbs came closer. It had features of a human female but had wings of a butterfly. It began to talk. Not to Alyss but to the cat. He just glared at it. The beautiful creature stayed silent. It was no longer a cat. A boy around alyss' age stood in it's place. He had raven black hair, which was tied back in a low, thin ponytail. his bright green eyes looked down at her. He bent down and moved his mouth closer to her ear. The creatures in the meadow went silent at his presence. "Oh but this is not a dream." His velvety voice whispered. Before she can scream he covered her eyes with a hand. "just relax." Her mind fogged up. She couldn't move. It felt like she hit something. It wasn't the boulder for sure. It was hard yet soft. Like clothes were covering it. The thing that held her was warm and smelled like honey. She laid there not wanting to wake up. The one carrying her whispered something. He had the same voice as the boy. " You're the one." he whispered. " You will be great."
