prologue aqua sara-marie rose
Music blared in Aqua's ears as she stared off into the distance of the park, squinting her eyes to make out the shape in front of her. She popped on earbud out, the snow falling quietly around her onto the blanket that was already laid upon the ground.
She drew her phone from her pocket, pausing her music and taking her earbud out of her ear. "Is that you, Brendan?"
The figure continued to approach her, the face becoming more familiar as he approached. Brendan Marx, a new boy at her school that came in the beginning of this past semester. He quickly became one of the most popular guys at the high school: he tried out for the football team, immediately being let on. He stood roughly at 6'1 with chestnut brown hair and deep brown eyes, a perfect candidate for all of the popular girls to latch onto. Aqua could not seem to figure out why he was interested in her though.
"No need to worry, it's me," He smiled as he approached her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as she began to walk with him. "How was your night?"
Aqua let a heavy sigh escape her lips, a cloud of hot air escaping into the cold night. "The usual shit. Mom is being annoying, Axel is up my ass per usual. I don't know why he thinks he has a right to speak to me the way he does, we all know he just wants to take my mom's money,"
Brendan grumbled as he lead the two of them to a garden gazebo in the corner of the park. "Im sorry, love. I know he's a pain in the dick but your mother will wisen up one day,"
Aqua lifted a brow at his commentary, sitting down on the benches inside of the gazebo. She watched as he took a seat next to her, shoving his hands in his hoodie pocket. "I don't think she will. She's so desperate to find someone to love her that she's just ignoring the bright red flags in front of her." He chuckled at this, deciding to switch topics to something that would lift up her spirits.
"How is Maya doing? Doesn't she have a new boyfriend?"
"She's good. We haven't talked in a few days but she's been busy recently and so have I. I'm pretty sure his name is Klaus? I don't know, he sounds like some British dude," Aqua copied Brendan, shoving her hands into the pockets of her sweatpants as she rambled about her online best friend's love-life. "Hopefully I'll meet him at some point, she seems to really like him from what I understand. They're just so far away though, it's like a ten hour drive from here to Virginia."
Brendan scooted closer to Aqua, allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder as they watched the snow quietly fall from the sky. "We can take a roadtrip one day,"
"That would be nice. I miss her a lot," She sighed dramatically, bouncing her right knee as she spoke. Her tongue swiped across her chapped lips, moving even closer to Brendan. "Do you want to come over? It's getting really cold,"
"Yeah sure." Brendan stood up, extending a hand to Aqua to take. She accepted it with a toothy smile, entwining her fingers with his. "You're so lucky you live close to the park,"
━━━━━━༻♠༺━━━━━━
Aqua led Brendan up the steps of her house, her brows furrowing as she heard banging coming from inside the house. She turned to face Brendan, whose face had completely darkened as they took more steps closer to the door.
"Aqua, get behind me," He stated, pushing himself ahead of her and opening the door. They both stepped into the house cautiously, looking around the living room. The loud bangs were coming from the kitchen, Axel and Aqua's mother emerging in what seemed like a heated argument. They stayed quiet for a moment before Axel took it upon himself to roughly shove her mother into the wall behind her. "Don't you dare put one more finger on her," Brendan exclaimed as he quickly approached the situation.
Aqua closed the front door behind them, anger seeping through her veins as she beckoned her mother to come to her. Since Axel was distracted with Brendan, she quickly made her way to her daughter.
"What are you gonna do about it, tough guy?" Axel asked Brendan, shoving his chest with a cocky grin. Brendan grabbed Axel by the collar of his shirt, backing him against a wall and bringing his face inches away from Axel's.
"Never lay a finger on her or Aqua ever again. Do you understand me?"
Axel processed for a moment before spitting in Brendan's face. "Get the fuck out of here this is not your house. Don't tell me what to do."
Brendan laughed for a moment, letting go of Axel before throwing a right hook to his cheekbone. Aqua and Mary, her mother, both gasped in horror as they watched the boys begin to punch each other in the middle of the living room.
"Brendan! Axel! Stop it!" Mary exclaimed as she approached the boys, weakly attempting to break up the fight. Brendan got up off of Axel, grabbing Aqua by the hand and leading her upstairs without a word. Aqua watched as her mother tried to help Axel up: he denied her help, choosing to get up on his own and see himself out the front door.

He sat down on her bed, staring at Aqua as she slowly closed her bedroom door behind them. "Thank you, he had that coming," Brendan nodded, looking as if he was debating something.
"I need to tell you something," He began, looking at Aqua with a strange twinkle in his eye. Aqua approached her bed, sitting down facing him with her brows furrowed. "My name is not Brendan Marx,"
Her eyes got smaller as she squinted at him in confusion. "We have been dating a few months now and you're just telling me that that is not your name? This is a joke right?"
Brendan grabbed her hands frantically, his eyes searching hers. "Do you believe that there are things out there other than humans?"
"You're scaring me,"
He sighed and hoped that she would understand. This was the first time he felt something for someone in years, and he really did not want to mess this up. She stared at him in confusion as he paused and looked down before meeting her eyes once more.
"My name is Kol Mikaelson, and I am an original vampire,"

A/N Heyyyyyyy guys So I wanted to write, but I feel like I never have enough time in my life now a days to come up with new ideas and actually formulate them into chapters, so I figured I'd rewrite my first book! It is the only book that I ever finished on here and it means a lot to me, so I figured why not rewrite it now that I am older and have more knowledge/writing skills. Hope yall enjoyed the prologue :) xoxoAna
