The Unforsaken

Chapter One - The Unforsaken

‘I stepped forward from the shadows, a cat like hiss escaping my throat. The leach whipped around snarling, blood covering its face, the tips of its crimson covered fangs just showing. Hatred of this foul creature shot through me as I took a step closer.

The leach matched my step, also stepping forward. Stepping forward to be bathed in moonlight, and in that instant our eyes locked and I froze, so did the leach. I struggled to breathe as I looked into those eyes, golden eyes, tinted with crimson red. I couldn't look away, as for the reason why? I couldn't tell you for the life of me.’

Jessica Rosewood is a normal every day 16 year old girl, she goes to school, hangs out at the beach and the shops with her friends. She is normal, except for the fact that she lives in a castle and her parents are the king and queen of the warrior angels, the most powerful race on earth.

Dante Baptist is an 18 year old vampire with a tortured past, his mother died giving birth to him and he was moved from foster home to foster home; never truly fitting in. He has done many wrongs throughout his life, blood covers his hands from the lives he has taken, the souls he's sucked dry.

 But what will happen when they come face to face, one born to protect those weak and defenseless and the other born to kill and feed off living beings. They should be trying to kill each other right?

 I sat there listening to the teacher babble on about things I already knew, my fault for having a photographic memory huh. My parents still insisted that I attend every day of this place though, that is if I wished to remain in a human school. Anyway back to my thoughts, you may be wondering who the hell I am, well I'm Jessie a normal sixteen year old girl with a normal sixteen year old life.

Yeah right! I'm a warrior angel, and not just any warrior angel, I'm Princess Jessica Maree' Rosewood. My parents are the King and Queen, of the warrior angels. To the humans though my father, Max Talis Rosewood was a wealthy business man and my mother Natalie Tae' Rosewood was a famous Zoologist and Vet. It’s easy for us to understand animals, because in a way we were animals ourselves, well our souls were. We can transform into our animal soul, which is pretty cool if your animal soul is a large white tiger like mine is.

Rosewood was a well-known name, known as the richest family in the world. Where do we live you may ask, well, we live in sunny Australia. We started in someplace millions of years ago, which is now known as Italy. God sent us to earth when his creation, the humans were found weak and vulnerable to the evils of the world. You may be thinking of drugs, guns, wars, gangs, and many more of the things that threaten the lives of human’s every day, but no, sadly what I speak of is much, much worse.

What I'm talking about, are all the dark creatures of the night, the worst of all being the fire demons and their leader the King of Hell. Well this, is the new devil, the first devil was killed by my mother and father, and guess what? He was my grandfather, that's right I'm not only a warrior angel; I’m also the granddaughter of the evilest son of a bitch to ever walk the earth. How is this possible you may ask, well it's a long story.

Anyway the new devil is absolutely clueless, and has no idea how to lead his demons, which is good news for us. Though sadly his son is not as incoherent, Lex my sworn enemy and the one person that haunts my dreams, well nightmares really were born with the real devils powers.

Then there is my brother, Angelico. Where do I start? Well my dopey twin brother looks allot like me, tall and blonde with electrifying blue eyes. You'll find out more about him along the way, for he is always around the corner, annoying the hell out of me and anyone else in a ten mile radius, but just to sum him up, all I have to say is that he’s a leopard, quick and stealthy, but nowhere near my strength and fighting skill.
