Blood Wars Book One: Kyrie Kerr's Journey

Chapter One: New Years Eve Surprise

Chapter One: New Years Eve Surprise

Kyrie Garrison, a Twenty-Three year old Goth chick stood in her kitchen, her long black straight hair pulled back into a small clip, away from the food she was cooking. The music of her favourite Musician, Yanni, played softly from the laptop sitting on the kitchen table just feet from her. She pulled out a small spoon from one of the drawers and dipped it in the red sauce that made up her base for the pasta she was making for dinner that night. "Hey Mike!" She yelled to her friend Mike Roach, a friend she had known since middle school and a person she considered to be her older brother that she never had.

"Yeah Kye, what's up?" Mike asked as he walked into the kitchen. Kyrie held out the spoon with the pasta sauce out towards him. "Taste this and tell me if it needs anything, will you?" Mike nodded and took the spoon from Kyrie, placing it on his tongue and tasting it. His eyes widened suddenly and he took the spoon from his mouth and handed it back to Kyrie. "Holy shit its like heaven in my mouth!" He exclaimed, smiling at Kyrie. Kyrie smiled back and shook her head. "You don't have to get all excited bro its just spaghetti," she told him as she stirred a pot full of angel hair pasta, making sure it wasn't sticking together. She looked over at her nineteen year old sister Kelly Kirst, who was busy making a salad to go with tonight's dinner. "So when is Nosis supposed to get here?" Mike asked as he sat down at the kitchen table.

"Well he said he was on his way earlier after he got off work but he was asking a lot of weird questions earlier too, so I don't really know," Kyrie said as she pulled down enough plates for everyone and bowls for the salad. "How so?" Mike asked, curious. "Well, earlier he asked me when exactly my birthday was, which kind of irked me, cause you think after six months of me telling him all the time he would remember it for himself." Mike nodded and waited for her to continue. "And then he asked me what my birth stone was and I told him it was a ruby which everyone knows I hate so if he's planning on getting me a new years present, I hope to the Goddess that it doesn't have a ruby on it, even if its a fake one," Mike chuckled at that, knowing that because, when her family was alive, Kyrie used to get birthday and Christmas gifts from her family that had rubies in them and she hated every single one of them.

"So what do you think he kept asking those questions for?" Mike asked his sister as she poured the pot full of cooked spaghetti into a colander. Kyrie shrugged. "I have no idea, could you get the wine bottles and stuff out of the fridge in the garage?" Kyrie asked, talking about the second fridge they had thanks to her grandfather. Mike nodded and got up heading into the garage to get what Kyrie had asked for.

After everything had been set up and the plates had been filled with spaghetti and salad, Kyrie and her family all sat down at the kitchen table and began eating. It was around this time that a a figure came into view of the large kitchen window that looked out into the front yard. Kyrie smiled when she saw that it was her boyfriend Angel Genosis Kerr. She got up from her seat and opened the front door for him and he immediately engulfed her in a hug, his lips seeking hers for a long and passion filled kiss.

they only stopped once Mike cleared his throat and the others were chuckling softly. "Oh shut up I missed him, leave me alone," Kyrie mumbled as she walked back into the kitchen, intent on putting her plate and salad bowl in the sink and cleaning them. "Hey babe," Angel said as he wrapped his arms around Kyrie from behind. "Will you marry me?"

Author's Note: I originally never planned to put authors notes on this story but I had to for this part. Because while my parents are still alive and Im currently living with them along with my fiancee, when he proposed to me it was just like this. We had just gotten done making dinner and he came through the front door, said hi to everyone and then wrapped his arms around me and asked me to marry him. It was the biggest surprise I have ever had and I couldnt stop smiling after I said yes and he placed the ring in my finger. My Mom told my fiancee whos name is Jonathan Wood and who portrays Angel in this story, that he might want to ask my step dad who I consider my Dad, that he was doing this and get his okay...even though it was already a little late lol. So yeah thats where I got this part from. My brother and sisters werent actually living with us at the time they were all living with their own families but I thought it would be better for the story if we were all together.
