Chapter 1

September 1995
“Baby was found washed up on the river Foyle near Derry Area Alive but deadly pale seems to be about 5 months no name card.” A young news reader says

16 years later

I walk silently but quickly. Bright red hair flying (dyed of course)
“Chin up” I say licking my fangs
They were always there my fangs I mean but of course so was my chin. Oh God I’m going on and on again oops.
Starting a new school is always hard I don’t choose to but when you get expelled you don’t have much choice do you? So here I am At Martin Luther King secondary school. I bet the headmaster will have a fit when he hears my name which is by the way unknown . So you see I don’t have a name Or Parents or a parent so my life is sort of an epic fail. Headmaster’s office here at last knocks
“Come in,” says a sharp voice
“Um…………. My Name is unknown I am starting here today “I say
“Ah Yes so what exactly is your name” says this weird old man
“Um… sir I told you Unknown I was found sir I never had a name “I say
“Ah well sit down my name is Mr O Hagan I am the headmaster, hmm………………. I guess we could put you in hmmm……………. Mrs Briton’s class “Mr O Hagan says
“Um… sure, where exactly is it,” I say
He sighs, “I’ll get the secretary to show you”
“Audrey come here a minute “
5 minutes later a pale woman appears
“Yes headmaster may help you “says a short dark woman says
“Ah yes Audrey Take unknown to Miss Briton’s class please”
“Of Course sir” Audrey hastily repeats
So I follow her out into the dark hallway suddenly she turns her eyes bright teeth bared
“I know you, But do you know you” she snarled
“No that’s why I go by unknown” I say a little taken back
She circles me “Well I’ll better tell you then shall I” she says viciously
Before I can say anything there is a flash of light
And a squeal and she’s gone
Chapter 2

I eventually find my way to Miss Briton’s class
“Hello there and you are?” She asks
“Unknown “I mumble
“Really dear, what is your name “she repeats a little more firmly?
My temper flares I hate when people do this.
My voice raised “My Name is unknown I’m the girl they found in the sea as a baby”
“Oh dear, I’m sorry take a seat” she hesitates “Umm Unknown”
I walk down to the back of the room and sits down besides a boy who I felt drawn to sit beside. When I looked at him more closely he was pale and to my shock he had fangs too. I wondered if there was a connection between them as she could ignore the fangs.
“Forget it”, she thinks to herself
He turns to her and says “Hi, my name is Jasper Mullen”
“Hi yourself my name is unknown” I say.
I look down at my timetable just as the bell rings, maths next, not my strong subject. Jasper turns to me and says
“I need to talk to you alone after school” with that he turns and leaves.

Chapter 3
I wait impatiently for school to end, when it finally does I rush to the student car park and there he was standing beside my yellow beetle.
“They are something we need to talk about that is very important”, he says
“What then?” I reply
“You are not unknown to me, your name is Victoria and you are a vampire princess, I am your guardian sent to look after you as we share the birth date which is important in the vampire world, the reason you were found in the sea is because there was a war and your mother and father put you in a small boat , to save you from the evils that haunts our world and I was taken away to be trained as your guardian for the time when you would need it”
I am in shock, for the first time I am speechless and I remember the strange blacurrant juice .Blood.I just look at him.
“that is not all”, he continues” today you were almost attack by a female werewolf”
“The secretary” I whisper, suddenly a lot of things make sense for the first time in my life.
He states “that time is now”
Chapter4
“No “
I say a whisper at first but I can’t control it I start to cry shouting “NO. Your lying to me do not lye to me. Please”
“Victoria-“He says
“Don’t call me that my name is Tory” I gasp
“I told you” He says
“Don’t smirk at me” I snap
“Well do you believe me now” he snaps back
“No I don’t “And I walk away wounded and hurt
“Tory wait “he says in a much softer voice
“My name is not Tory, Victoria or anything else for that matter I do not and I repeat not have a NAME.
“Yes you do and if you do not believe me come with me” he says matter of fatly and he pushes me into a car.
“Where are we going “I snap?
“To your house, your real house” He add hastily
“I don’t have one “I say simply
“Ah just give over” he says
“ Jasper ,if this vampire thing was real , I’m not saying it is but if it was are you one – a vampire I mean “ I say
“Yes and so are half the people at the school “he says casually
“WHAT” I scream
“Right for the rest of the journey we will be quiet or ill bite you” he jokes playfully
“You can’t bite me if I’m already a vampire” I murmur
He grins

Chapter 6

We drive up and stop at a large house easily triple the size of the school
“Wow” I whisper
“Come on then “He says
“Wait – “
“What” He asks

“Aren’t you going to ask me out” I smile
“umm ….. Embarrassing “He grins
“Awe that’s why I came “ wink at him
“Maybe Later .. If your good” He smiles again
“Maybe later I won’t want to” I say
“Well then that’s your loss since I’m utterly brilliant on dates” He says
I can’t let him away with that “Your very modest
Aren’t you” I tease
“Come on “He says
“All right stop your whining” I say but it comes out high pitched
Jaspers face goes from teasing to soft
He puts his arm around me
“It will be fine” he whispers
I flinch away “How do you know I’ve had 9 foster homes in the past 6 months” I say
“These are your parents they give birth to you they will love you “
I can only murmur “Will see”
That’s when the door opens and 2 middle age people walk out

Chapter 6

“Victoria” They woman says . She has light brown hair twisted into a bun and she was wearing and pale green skirt and a white shirt.
“Um Hello “I say nervously
“Jasper, Its too early ,you know the dangers of our world if they find out where she is who knows what they will do “ Says the man
“Yes I know your majesty but she would not believe me” Jasper says
“Really ,honey we raised you more than that” says the woman
“Actually you didn’t raise me at all” I say a little more boldly
“Well I’m sure your adoptive mum even taught you little manners” This person says
“Yes why don’t I show you? Jasper as you can I’ve had so much fun but id very much appreciate if you take me home . There enough manners for you. “I say very boldly now
“Tory wait” Jaspers voice comes through the door
“What “I snap
“What happened to me asking you out” He mumbles
“Well I wasn’t good was I” I smile
“That’s one of the things I love about you your never good” he murmurs
“You –You love me” I say shocked since I’ve known him only about 7 hours.
“I never said that” he says quickly “ So me and you at the movies on Saturday “
“K but I pick the movie” I smile

Chapter 7

Its Saturday and I’m still waiting its been nearly an hour .Whatever it hurts that Jasper stood me up but he will pay bad No one messes with me and goes away empty handed. I see him come up the street he’s red faced and tries to turn around.
“What happened to you “I snap “ I was there an hour if you didn’t want to be seen with me at least text. I’ve now got the whole cinema giving me pitying looks” And with that I turn and walk away.
Seeing the hurt on his face was good enough ill spare him the rest I had planned.
*************************************************I’m never good on Mondays especially morning not that I’m really good on any other days. But to make it even worse I have to face jasper so what who cares it’s his fault he just had to stand me up and think he could get away with it. Ha but you know maybe I shouldn’t because he did show me my parent right well I argue with him a bit to show that I’m not happy about it but still .Oh no ( sound old fashioned doesn’t it) Right I’ve found the class .I flop down in my seat .Good he’s not in yet . Here he comes he sits sown beside me.
“ Hey about Satur-“ He manages to say
“Don’t mention it “I but in
“So you forgive me” He says hopefully
“Nope ,I just don’t want to talk to you” I snap
“Oh, Jasper and the new girls having a tiff. Says an idiot down the back
“Shut up or ill break your legs “ I say fiercely
“Feisty , I like it “ He retorts
“ Okay you asked for it “I snap getting up
“Jeez Tory sit down” Jasper tells me
“My names not Tory “ I scream into the stunned silence
“oh look like Uny’s got a real name” Says the idiot down the back
(Looks like I’ve got a nickname)
“Oh would you shut up or I really will break your legs I’ve done it before” I snap
“New girl principles office now” Says miss Briton


“Miss Unknown, I hear you were threatening another pupil “ He starts
