'Ring...ring'
The sound of the alarm woke me from my sleep.7:00 am .Ergh 5 more minutes, I turned the alarm of and went back to sleep.
"Rogue come on ,I know I'm early but I wanted to run things over with you .....Rogue!.I swear to god if your asleep I'm going to rip your eyelids of ...Rogue!
"Go away it's only 7:00 am" I shouted back
"What! no it isn't"
I quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the door.
"What do you mean it's not 7:00 am?"
"It's 8:00 you cretin, you're lucky I came here early you exactly 60 minutes to get your fat ass ready and by the main doors or else!" she slammed the door and walked away
I ran to the shower and jumped in.The Ice cold water felt like bullets hitting my skin , but being late wasn't an option. I grabbed a towel and dried my then wrapped it round me. I ran straight to my wardrobe pulling out a pair of blue skinny jeans with rips in the knees, a black and white thin stripped shirt and black strapped sandal heels.I dried my hair and left it down, time was running out so I didn't have enough time to apply make up, besides I didn't really need it.I grabbed my phone and my glasses then ran out the door.
I gripped onto the edge of the staircase trying to stop myself for tripping over.When I reached the bottom of the steps I ran towards the door, and adjusted myself whilst trying to catch my breath.
"Rogue, you look lovely but why are you doing standing there?" Miss Jones asked
"Hi Miss Jones, I'm just waiting for Paris ,I have to help out with the Stones arrival."
"Oh of course, but you're in the wrong place dear, the private entrance is on the other side of the mansion"i looked at her in disbelief.
Really, how many entrances are in this place?
"Jesus,how do I get there?" I quickly question
"Down the hall,through the dining room, on the left there is the kitchen door if you go through there, there's another hall, keep going down until you see a brown door, go through the lounge room and you will see glass doors that's where they will come from"
"Are you joking?" I asked .Is she serious is that the quickest way!.
"No there's plenty of other ways , some of them are quicker -"

"Then why won't you tell me ?"
"I was trying to give you the safest way"
"What?"
"The private entrance is in the grand building area, you know where all the powerful and dangerous vampires are ,it's where all the important vampires stay .I was trying to give you the safest route, so you wouldn't bump into any vampires"
"Oh I'm sorry ,thank you Miss Jones" I gave her a quick hug then quickly ran to the dining room ,whilst I was in the kitchen I grabbed an apple to eat , I was so hungry it was gone In 4 bites.
The hall was very small, there were 4 doors, two of the were bathrooms, one was a door that led outside.I stopped In front the brown door , this must be where they bring food in to lounge area .
Without hesitation I pushed open the door and sprinted through.The sprint quickly came to a holt as I was greeted by a room of vampires.
This isn't good, my eyes grew wide as I scanned the room.My heart was in my stomach and it was slowly falling out of my ass.The fear I was feeling was unreal.What do I do?, I looked around trying to find a way out ,when I saw a door similar to the one I entered.
One of the vampires caught me staring at started to walk towards me.My breathing became un even and so do my balance.He was looking directly at me, I tried my hardest not to look.But I couldn't help myself.We made eye contact and it seemed to get a reaction out if him because in seconds he was sanding in front of me .
"What are you doing here little girl?"
I couldn't speak, I just stood there in shock.Someone help me!
"I asked you a question?".....don't you speak?" still no answer
"Maybe the chef gave us a little snack" another man shouted.The vampire smirked at me, then he began to sniff my hair.
I was scared.I haven't seen this vampire before but Miss Jones said this is where all the dangerous and powerful vampires live.He was wearing black suit pants with a black shirt.He had blonde hair and blue eyes.The other men were all dressed similar and they all were good looking.
"Mmm, she does look delicious, but it would be a shame to let such a beautiful thing go to waste, let's have some fun instead" he said leaning towards me

"No,no,no! wait .... Miss jones sent me here" I spoke trying to sound as brave as possible
"We'll I'm sorry love, but she clearly doesn't like you if she would send you here." he teased
"No I'm supposed to meet Paris" he raised an eyebrow and I took it as a sign to continue
"Ummm...I'm supposed to assist and meet Mr Stones parents, sir"
"You mean Lord and Lady Stone? " I nodded in response.
"I swear , I'm supposed to be at the private entrance for 9:00 "
"It's 8:55 now , you better get a move on" he flicked his head towards the glass doors.I was very unsure so I slowly moved away from him.The entire room was quiet as they watched me walk across the room, my heavy breaths and the clicking of my heels are the only things that could be heard.
"By Rogue" I turned around to see the blue eyes man waving at me.How does he know my name?
I pulled open the glass doors and ran towards the private entrance.I saw Paris pacing up and down looking at her watch.
"What happened to you?, did you decide to stop and write a novel or something . At least you look decent,since when did you wear glasses?"
"Well when I was eight I -"
"Shut up, their here, just stand there and be quite, don't speak unless spoken to and do not fuck this up ,got it?" She rudely interrupted
"Yes mam" She has got a serious issue , I was just stuck in a room with a load of well dressed, good looking ,intimidating, blood sucking vampires and the only thing she cares about is herself.And what's with all the threats, I swear if she wasn't a vampire I would kick her ass.Ive mentally killed Paris in my head 50 times , just by being stood next to her.
Two butlers walk towards the doors and open them.I don't know why but it feels like forever , if I didn't think it was impossible I would totally believe it was going in slow motion .
I straighten up my glasses, fixed my hair and calm myself down .Whilst giving myself a pep talk.
In walks a blonde haired women, with blue eyes.She had a very petite figure ,slim in the waste but she was beautiful she looked like a Victoria secret model.She wore a white sleeveless pencil dress with white heels.Next to her stood a man he was huge ,he was built like a rock, his grey hair slicked back , he wore a grey suit, he had a little bit of stubble ,but it made him even more attractive .He was just like his son however he had blood Red eyes , as scary as they were I couldn't keep my eyes of them. But what intrigued me the most was the little girl holding his hand.She resembled her mother , she also wore a white dress.
They walked in,to be greeted by Paris.
"Hello, my lord, my lady ....princess" each time she bowed her head and curtsied.
"Paris, I've seen you've kept up you're old habits" said Lady Stone
"Pardon?" Paris questioned
"Whenever we visit , everyone makes a big deal, I don't know about my son , but I have no intentions of being called my lady .Rose will suffice and the same with them."
"If you wish.This is Rogue she will be here to help with anything you will need."
My hands began to sweat as they made there way towards me.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you , lady stone" I said whilst bowing my head
"Rose will do. You're a human?"
I nodded my head
"You are a very beautiful young lady and your eyes are extraordinary , I hope my son and his friends don't have you running around after him."
"No mam "
"Hello I'm hunter , Ivan's dad this our daughter Anastasia." he reached out his hand I looked over to Paris who was glaring at me.I took his hand , i was expecting them to be I've cold , but to my surprise they were very warm.
I bent down to shake Anastasia's hand , but instead she wrapped her arms around me.I hugged her back not wanting to be rude.
"You're pretty, are we going to play together ?" I just smiled and shrugged
Paris lead them into the lounge where I was waiting outside. It had been nearly 10 minutes when Rose came out with Anastasia .
"I'm sorry but she insisted she came outside to play with you"
"With me? what do you want me to do ?"
"Take her around the mansion , she's fine everyone knows who she is, just bring her back here when she's done ok"
"Yes of course"
"It's Rogue right?" I nodded in response
As soon as she closed the Anastasia ran down the hall. crap I've had her for 1 second and she's already gone.
I immediately chase after her.

Saints and Suffering: A Naruto Fanfiction
Synopsis: Naruto and Sasuke were unable to defeat Kaguya the first time around, and suffer immensely for their failure. They travel back in time to right their wrongs, but struggle with the repercussions of their failure and the unintended consequences of their actions. Author's Note: This is fanfiction, I am a first time author, and I make no claims nor guarantees to quality. I have another story floating around in my head, but I am writing this first in order to practice my skills and gain feedback. Please feel free to give constructive criticism, I will try to read and respond. No guarantees to upload schedule or speed will be made. I work a full time job, and I am not particularly fast at writing, though maybe speed will increase as I become more practiced with my storytelling. This work will essentially be my playground moving forward; I'm going to write about scenarios that tickle my fancy, and the overall story may suffer from it. I will endeavor to keep continuity though. I have an outline that I am working on, and there is an overall arc to the story already. Furthermore, as of the beginning of this novel, my intention with this novel is to explore negative emotions and use my writing as a form of meditation/therapy. When I am sad, I will write sad things, and when I'm happy, the story will be happy. Lastly, there will be religious undertones every once in a while. Hopefully nothing too heavy handed though.
