The Key Unlocks Everything - Prologue and Chapter 1
Ok I'm not dead (you can stop worrying now) my laptop is still in the graveyard and I know I said I would write Jared's side of the story, but I'd rather shoot myself. It was doing my head in and I couldn't bring myself to continue, so as a birthday present for my friend Anitta Surrakka I am writing a vampire story. Enjoy and the summary will be on the next chapter.
Prologue
When I was six I had a friend named Natsume. Every summer I used to play with him whenever I visited my grandparents on the farm. One summer though, he disappeared and I haven't seen him ever since. He didn't even say goodbye.
The only I have left is an old silver key necklace that had a sapphire in the middle. That's the only thing he for left me.
************************************************************
Chapter 1
"I can't believe he asked me out." Alice gushed to my other friend Tamara.
"You lucky thing," Tamara winked while I continued to eat my sandwich. I wasn't paying attention to the conversation until Tamara nudged me.
"What?" I asked her as I placed my sandwich down onto my lap.
"Do you fancy someone?" Alice asked me and I rolled my eyes.
"Of course not, I don't have time for love." I told her and took a bite out of my sandwich.
"So you've never had a crush on someone in your entire life?" She pressed and I sighed. Of course Alice wouldn't drop it.
"I did once, when I was six." I said quietly and the both of them leaned in curiously.
"His name was Natsume; he used to live next door to my grandparents. Every summer I would stay with them and play with him in the fields." I told them as I looked down at my sandwich.
"What happened?" Tamara asked.
"I don't know, one summer he didn't come. It was as if he disappeared into thin air, like he never existed," I said.
"He didn't even say goodbye?" Alice asked outraged and I nodded. Unconsciously I touch the key necklace that hung around my neck and they noticed.
"Did he leave you that?" Tamara asked and I nodded.
"On my window along with a note." I whispered and the air around us fell silent for a bit.
"But you know what?" I asked smiling at them.
"In a way, he was my first love." I smiled fondly at the memories of him. The bell went and I checked my timetable and saw I had a free period.
"I'm going to go study at the library." I told them and they nodded.
"Have fun," Tamara said and I walked away from them. On my way to the library I passed the school garden I noticed someone in there. I stopped and saw a guy with jet black hair and crimson red eyes sitting down. A tear went down his face and my heart started beating fast.
Ba-thump
Ba-thump
Before I knew what I was doing, I walked over to him and placed his face in my hands.
"Don't cry, smile." I told him and wiped away his tears. His eyes widened and I realized the situation I was in.
"Sorry, I don't know what came over me." I said and quickly stood back. I couldn't look at him in the eye so instead I looked down at my shoes. My heart was beating a little faster now.
Ba-thump, Ba-thump
Ba-thump, Ba-thump
I didn't realize he was close until he lifted my chin up with his hand. I stopped breathing as I stared into his eyes as his searched mine.
"You're alive," he whispered in relief and I frowned.
What do you mean? I wanted to ask but the words just didn't form in my mouth. I could taste his breath on my tongue and his scent filled my nose. He smelt like roses, mint and something else I couldn't pinpoint. Everything was muddled up in my mind as I got lost in his eyes. Without warning, he crushed his lips against mine and my eyes widened. I was about to protest but I ended up giving in and kissed him back. My fingers went through his smooth hair and his hands went onto my waist. He pulled me closer to him as we continued to kiss. My head was spinning and I craved more of his soft lips. My heart was beating so hard I thought it would explode.
Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump
Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump
Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump
We both came up for air and my face became redder than a tomato. The guy stood back at looked at me seriously.
"Stay away from me." He said coldly and walked off. I stood there in a daze and tried to recollect myself. My whole body was buzzing and I felt really lightheaded. A million thoughts were running through my head and then something dawned on me.
Did he just tell me to stay away? I thought and then frowned. What guy kisses you and then tells you to leave him alone?
A jerk I thought bitterly and touched my key to calm me down.
"Forget about him Sora," I told myself and took a deep breath. I walked off towards the library and sat at a desk and grabbed my books out. I started to study but halfway through I lost concentration. Every time I tried to do algebra I kept imagining him kissing me again. I gave up as the bell went and I headed off to my next class: Human Studies. Human Studies was by far my favorite subject. Not just because Mr. Henderson was super-hot but because he's the kind of teacher you learn to respect. I walked into the classroom and sat at the back desk and waited for Mr. Henderson to come. He arrived three minutes later and you'll never guess who walked behind him.
The guy from earlier.
You know it's funny, you'd think you'd know the name of a guy who just randomly kisses you. With that in mind I kept thinking maybe he was one of those types who kisses anyone who is near him.
"Everyone, this is our new student and my nephew Natsu." Mr. Henderson introduced and immediately all the girls fixed themselves up and stared at him. The guys of course didn't really give a shit and just ignored him. I blushed at the sight of him and my heart just wouldn't stay still.
Ba-thump, Ba-thump
I quickly looked away and silently told myself off.
"There's a spare seat next to Jessica." Mr. Henderson said pointing to the seat in front of me. Natsu walked over and sat in the seat but not before looking at me.
"Ok," Mr. Henderson said clapping his hand together and smiling at us.
"We'll revise what we learned last lesson and then we'll be friends forever." He said cheerfully. I didn't pay attention; I was too busy studying the back of Natsu's head. How his hair seemed to shine in the light, before I knew it I was practically drooling. I recollected myself as Mr. Henderson turned to the class.
"Ok those who sit on the right side of the desk move one seat backwards." He ordered and Natsu walked over and sat next to me. Again like before my heart seemed out of control.
Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump
"Ok, the person who is sitting next to you is going to be your partner for the next project called: Getting To Know You!" Mr. Henderson announced.
"Great," I heard Natsu mutter under his breath and felt hurt. He could make out with me just fine but couldn't work on a simple project?
"I want you to learn everything about your partner, there likes and dislikes, there fears and such," Mr. Henderson explained.
"At the end of the term I want you to come up with a creative way and show it to the class on what you learned," he added and everyone turned to their partner and started talking. Natsu didn't even look at me and I just got pissed off. I grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled on it. I felt Natsu look over my shoulder and read it.
"Has mood swings and an attitude problem," he read and then chuckled. He grabbed the sheet of paper off me and wrote on it. He handed it back to me and I looked at it.
"Needs to calm down," I read and then my eyes widened.
Ba-thump, Ba-thump
I noticed Mr. Henderson watching us and I touched the key to help calm myself down. The bell went for the end of class and I practically ran out of there. I waited at the gate for Alice and the two of us walked home together. We ended up chilling in my room and chatting about some things.
"Is this Natsume?" She asked pulling out a photo a guy with sandy blonde hair and ocean blue eyes.
"Yep that's him alright" I confirmed and she squealed.
"Oh he is just cute! No wonder you fell in love with him," she exclaimed and I rolled my eyes. I was typing on my laptop since I decided to do diary entries for my Human Studies project.
"Hey what's this?" Alice asked and I looked over and saw her holding the note.
"That's the note that came with the key," I told her and she read it.
"Aww that's so cute," she cooed and I smiled and took the note from her. Time flew by and Alice went home. I sat in my room and looked at the note for what felt like the five-hundredth time.
Sora,
By the time you get this I'll be long gone. You maybe sad but this is the best thing for you and the only way to protect you. The key I've left you is something special to me, and deserves to be with something that is also special to me. I hope that you will keep it close to your heart and me along with it.
Natsume
I smiled and placed the note back into my drawer. I looked back at my laptop and tried to write some more but ended up blank.
"Stupid Natsu," I muttered as my mobile went off.
"Hello?" I said into the speaker.
"So I hear you're partners with Mr. Henderson's nephew." Tamara said and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah and what a pain in the ass that is," I told her and she snorted.
"Yeah it's horrible to be close to a hot guy, I feel your pain," she said sarcastically.
"Well he wouldn't even talk to me so how can I do any type of presentation?" I asked her.
"Dunno but you need to think of something," she said.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious," I told her.
"I have to go but you better think of something," she said before hanging up. I sighed and grabbed my mini Piplup plushie. I hugged it close to me and closed my eyes. Without meaning to I fell asleep.

Author's Note:
Before you all bitch and complain saying, 'it's like Twilight' let me just clear this up. IT'S NOT! It's my first vampire story and even though I hate vampires, since Stephanie Myer ruined them by making them fairies my friend begged and this is her birthday present from me since she's a vampire junkie. This story was inspired by the guy who stalks my dreams (not that I'm complaining since he's hot) and this cool key necklace I got from some random Asian shop in Sydney (not being racist). So please don't say it 'cause then I'll cry in the corner of my room.
When I was six I had a friend named Natsume. Every summer I used to play with him whenever I visited my grandparents on the farm. One summer though, he disappeared and I haven't seen him ever since. He didn't even say goodbye.
The only I have left is an old silver key necklace that had a sapphire in the middle. That's the only thing he for left me.
