Genesis - Prologue

Maybe it was the wet heat of that dull room. Maybe it was the tag itching at the neck of my tee shirt. Maybe it was that one of my earrings were bent and squeezed my lobe a little too tightly.

Maybe it was the fact that my whole fate, life and future would rest on one decision today. Pick any you like, I still felt like my guts were going to lurch out of my stomach and smear themselves on the wall. Not to be gross, but to remain honest.

I was at the Destined Fate Headquarters, you see. Nothing good could ever happen at the Destined Fate Headquarters.

I sat at in an uncomfortable plastic chair, tapping my foot impatiently. The seconds seemed like hours, yet the minutes seemed like seconds.

Great. I was losing my mind already.

The waiting room was set up much like a doctor’s office’s. Chairs sat in crooked rows against the wall, all facing the front desk where a bored-looking vampyre lady sat filing her-

Holy crap! How did I not notice that? A vampyre. Oh, my, goodness. Was that what I was to become? She didn’t look like she minded being a blood [removed] life stealer, but what information could I get off her? She looked like any old secretary/super model.

The room was decorated like it shouldn’t belong to, you know, the center of the supernatural universe. Hideous peachy salmon colored paint was plastered on the wall. You think the supernatural world would be a place of better taste, but apparently not in this particular ward.

There was no one else in the waiting room. Well, except my best friend Claire. She sat next to me, holding my hand and grinning through tears. I loved Claire (she and my sister were the only person in the world who understood me – notice the were) but was she crazy? This wasn’t a wedding. This was my destiny we were talking about.

Apparently, being immortal is a big deal. It’s quite honorable, being a creature of such high sophistication. Really, I didn’t care what the immortals did.

But I really did not want to be one of them. The thing is, Destined Fate Headquarters in run by all supernaturals, except for the mortal ambassador. They regulate the immortal world, training each new Apprentice.

Usually, you’re born with Potential or you aren’t. If you are, they take you from your family right then and there and place you in Training School. But I was not. So why was I here? I was “suspected of developing some unusual characteristics in a human”, is what they called it in the phone call we received.

But you don’t know is that-

“Genesis Warner?” the vampyre secretary called. “We are ready for you.”

    Hahaa!! This is so thrilling!! I don’t know why, it just is!! I;ve got a tiny gut feeling I’ve never gotten before on TAP. Ever. Apart from, maybe, my own work. Hahaa!! Jks, jks… I ain’t that good.
    But yeah!! REALLY well done, MG!! xDD

      This world of hers seems very fascinating… your writing is really good, as usual. I like that narrator’s voice, with her sarcasm and all that. She’s awesome xD. Anyway, this is off to a great start! I’ll be on the look-out for more :).

        Zylaar: Thanks so much! You’ve never gotten a feeling like that before? I have, with some people’s work. A lot lately, actually. I love when you comment on my work. You’re so sweet! :)

        Missparkles: I tried to create a unique world, where things aren’t like you’d expect. And thanks so much, as usual. ;) I hope that I actually get somewhere with this story. You have no idea how many I’ve started and abandoned. :) I should have the first chapter within a few days.. :)

          Hey your my favorite author!

          • AngelOfMusic

            Seriously? Like, you just decided this by reading one chapter? Hahaha. Favorite on TAP, or like, of all time? Haha, jk, I know I’m not better than a published author.

            • KylarMorgan

              Wow. This is insanely good. Girl, you seriously need to let me know when you post stuff. :O I’m really excited for this story! Keep me updated! (If it’s not too much trouble…)

              • AngelOfMusic

                Thanks! I’ll keep you updated! :)

                • Zylaar

                  Yup yupp! Never!! This is barely a stirring, but it’s the only reaction I’ve ever gotten from my gut when reading! And it’s not just cos I ate something bad: which I didn’t, by the way.

                  • AngelOfMusic

                    Hahahaha. You haven’t tried my cooking, then. :)

                      Blood [removed] life Stealer xD
                      This is really good! :D

                      • AngelOfMusic

                        It was supposed to be a blood s..u..c..k..i..n..g.. life stealer but apparently that’s a bad word..

                        • Everlasting

                          THIS IS FREAKINAWESOME! I love your style of writing. The main character is amazing, the way she can sit in the same room as this vampyre and still be judgiing the supernatural on their taste! Amazingg AOM! I loooove it! NO WAY AGAIN! The main character in my story has only her sister and only friends who understand her too! (don’t worry, it’s a completely different plot, i’m not writing the exact same thing! lol) :) Off to part 1!

                          • AngelOfMusic

                            Hahaha thanks. :) I try to portray Genie based on her sarcasm and.. I dunno what to call it. :) I can’t wait to read your new story. <3
