=Chapter 1: Awake

As the streets begin to fill with crime, a robber runs through a dark alley and he meets a dead end, until suddenly he's shot in the leg by a group of men, with the leader looking quite young wearing a sliver dragon tattoo on the back of his neck and golden tiger suit and on his shoes. He looks down at the man and punches him in the face reportedly nearly snapping the man's neck but he grabs him by his collar and says: "You'll never be able to hurt her again, because tonight is the night you die. Men kill him, make it messy, and make it fast." He would walk away and look at the man one last time. "Remember my name, Veren Navio". He walks away as the sounds of gunshots go off and everything fades to orange as the sunrises. The real question is who is this man and how does he meet Deia and become obsessed with her, that's what we are going to find out. Veren wakes up in the morning to breakfast in bed, he hasn't had that in a long, long time he says to himself. His mother comes in and hugs him tightly: "Thank you for saving me, my sweet prince." Don't be silly mother- I'd do anything for you, you gave me life I'd forever be grateful for that. Now I gotta get some more sleep, wake me up in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Veren lays back as he drifts to sleep.

I awaken to Smoke filling the house as i say to myself" What The Hell Happened" i quickly gather my thoughts and run through the flames i begin shouting... "MOM"!!!!! "DAD"!!!!!!! "SISTER"!!!!!!! but no response i run downstairs as the house begins to collapse as my ripped skirt falls apart as soon i get to the door a tall man in all black walks toward me and knocks me unconscious and saves me. I wake up from that dream screaming as my mother 3 older sisters and my dad all rush to my room. "Hey, hey, are you okay we heard you screaming and rushed here, was it that horrible dream again?" I grip onto my father's shoulders, softly crying as my mother and father got ready for work, they had a few more cases to close before they'd be able to take their vacation, my sisters and I all fell back to sleep as I tried to stay away from that nightmare that was haunting me.

3 days later in class I gently yawn as my best friend Krysti taps my shoulder to wake me up from daydreaming, 8th period has ended so now it was a 3-hour break before any serious work got done. So, Deia? I look up at my best friend as she'd ask me if I'm going to The Summer Flame Festival Dance, i shake my head as i see a tall handsome guy walking past me. His hair is like that of an angel, his smile is as bright as the sun, his clothes were royalty-styled and high fashion, i got lost in his golden eyes it's as if was looking at heaven for the first time.... he approached me and kissed my hand. My name is Veren, i live with my mother in our mansion; maybe you can come by and pay us a visit after school today you know after our game of the month till October. I nod my head yes and stare at Veren as He Walks Away. "Omg Deia he was totally into you", I shake my head and say,  "You think so, I wasn't focused I was looking at his lips and wanting to kiss them". Krysti shakes me out of my dream and whispers in my ear...." Girl, Wake Up!" I suddenly jolt awake at the thought of being taken away to my next class I probably should pursue him and find out more. I see him leaving the building, but before I follow him I go to my locker to change and see a note that says: "Come to my place, I want to know you more". Signed By Veren??? What could he possibly want with me, I need to find out more, I pull Krysti away from her boyfriend and hop into her car as we speed off toward his mansion.

As I arrived at his mansion my heart began to thump rapidly as he opened the gates and Met Me Outside, he was wearing black and gold and his hair was smooth, slicked back and blowing in the wind as he helped me out the car and kisses my hand. "Deia, my beautiful friend you look very pretty, and your curves are just perfect" I looked up at him and slightly blushed, "Well Thank You Veren but don't you have a girlfriend" I ask and look away as we walk into the house. Veren watched as Deia explored the rest of the house" Damn, this girl is going To be hard to get, I like that; makes me keep wanting more and more till I make her mine". Veren wraps his hands around Deia's Waist and pins her wrist over her head. "I don't think I like you around all them boys during your performances and your after-school games...Dammit you belong to me; YOU ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE!" Deia pushes Veren off and goes into the kitchen crying. Krystal Walks into the house as Deia runs into her crying. "Hey Deia, what's wrong, did he hurt you". Deia screams as she holds onto Krystal! "No, it's just...I- I saw something in him something I haven't felt in 3 years since my brother got arrested for murder 7 dead and 2 in Critical Condition". Krystal gasp" you mean the same evil aura" Deia Nods her head. "Would it be safe to assume he's a witch or something" Krystal sighs softly, ah well not exactly but you might be on to something about him. Come On, Let's Get Out Of Here before he gathers his senses; Deia gets into her car with Krystal and drives back to her place. So what was the deal with that asshole Deia? She continues to sob and covers her face as her face is flustered. "He was my first love but my dad had split us up after he caught us almost doing the deed,
I still have my virginity but a terrible accident happened 5 months after our break up, his father died and his monther spent 2 years in a coma, and he gained vampire and witch-like abilities; and ever since I haven't talked to him or seen him till now so all of this is still a shook to me, and OMG he looks hotter than last time I saw him." Deia face lights up as Krystal drops her off at her house. "Will you be okay to come in tomorrow for our exams and for the game yk the game we've been waiting our entire life for, we also need to prepare our dresses and get a date before Saturday, that's gonna be the biggest night of our lives." Deia shakes her head modestly and kisses her best friends forehead: "Don't worry, I have everything under control cutie pie". She walks upstairs and closes the door as she receives a text from an unknown number: "Do you finally remember me, we have so much to catch up on. It's only a matter of time before I make you mine...All Mine." Deia turns off her phone as she slowly drifts asleep, she thinks to herself as she says: "Things are truly about to get very very serious.

Back at the Mansion, Veren is getting head from one of the maid that he has, loud slurping noises can be heard from his main office room as a loud groan is heard. Veren looks down at his maid and pushes her off him as he gets up and fixes himself. The Maid says to Veren: "Have I satisfied you for the day? He smirks them scoffs saying: You couldn't satisfy a filthy pig if he was huge enough, but it's better than nothing I guess, you deserve a promotion. By the way what is your name. She wipes her lips and says with a loud roar My name is Zelena Rose, a woman who will be the wife of the future Mafia Boss and CEO of Navio Corporation. Veren cups her cheek and kisses her as if kissing a woman for the first time seemed somewhat ethereal and genuine.
