A Song of Night and Dawn (asoiaf fanfic)

Prologue

-2018, 06/04 Anastasia Cromwell POV.

Man, it's been a busy day. I managed to get another two chapters written for my new book. So far I've written 648 pages or 64 chapters in total. I got to write about another 240 pages or 10 chapters worth of content.

After I finish saving my work, that's when I go to check my phone for the time.

"Crap it's 5:20 pm. I need to get going in order to meet up with my editors for dinner." I say out loud.

After checking the time I start packing my stuff up in a hurry. Once I finished putting my stuff away, I then head towards the parking lot for my car. When getting there, I quickly get in the car and turn the car on. As the car finally gets started, I exit the lot and head off to the restaurant where I would meet my editors.

Time Skip

I arrived there just in time for our reservation. I had picked out a 6 O'clock reservation at a nice teppanyaki style Japanese restaurant.

(Author note: teppanyaki style is a type of cooking style that's in front of customers as show that is cooked on a flat iron griddle.)

As I enjoy that style of cooking though there's not that many good Japanese restaurants here in London, UK. After getting I notice over in the seating area are my editor's Elijah and Cecelia. Both were adults though Elijah is older in his mid-thirties while Cecelia is in her late-twenties. Elijah was a tall, lean man, with dark brown hair, and chocolate brown eyes. Cecelia was also tall, but curvy, with auburn red hair, and has light blue eyes.

"There you are Anastasia, you almost made us miss the reservation." Cecelia calls out.

"Sorry you two, it took longer than I thought to finish writing up that last chapter," I respond.

"It's fine Ana, you made it just in time. So how much longer till you are finished with the first draft of your new book?" Elijah said.

"Hmm, probably about two more months. I still have ten more chapters to write. Then it will be ready for you two to go over." I replied. As I reply, I see a man walk over and speak.

"Anastasia party of three. Anastasia party of three. The man says.

"That is us ser." I say back.

After replying we follow the man to be seated at our table. Once settled, we then all decide on what to eat. I order a ribeye steak that comes with a starter of miso soup, a house salad, a bowl of white rice which I asked for it to be fried rice instead, and a side of grilled vegetables. As for drinks I got water and some Sapporo beer. It took only five minutes for the drinks, and another five before the chef came to do the teppanyaki style.

All and all it was a good dinner, we were there until 8 O'clock. We spent most of the time chatting about work and catching up on life as we enjoyed eating our dinner.

At around 8 we paid the bill and started heading out. Cecelia and I split off from Elijah as our cars are in the same direction. Once we got to the parking lot we then split off as my car is further away. While I was heading to my car, a man came walking down from the other direction. He seemed not to be able to walk straight and was very drunk. He probably came from a pub nearby or a club.

As I arrived at my car, I noticed the man heading over to me. As I see this I ask the man.

"Ahh Sir do you need help or something?"

The man doesn't respond, he just continues head over to where I'm located. By the time he's two to three feet in front of me I notice he has a knife in one of his hands. At this point I start to get a bit concerned. But before I have time to react the man is right next to me. A immediately after he goes to grab my hands and holds them behind me.
