Hey!

This story has been bugging my mind since yesterday and today I wrote this prologue. I hope that it might fall in someones likings.

It's gonna be based on Vampire Academy characters, but it's an All Human story. And I'm inspired by the TV show Bones too. I love that show!

Leave me a review about what you think!

Prologue - Meet the forensic anthropologist Dr. Rosemarie Hathaway

I stared out in the big classroom. My students were watching me, listening to every word I said.

I cleared my throat and continued with my lesson about the human bone structure. My voice high and clear, professional. That's all my life described in one word, professional.

When the class was over a girl came up to me and asked me about the essay they were about to do. She asked if I could suggest a topic for her. But being me, the professional and non-caring about helping my students to success, I simply said to her to just do her own research and that it would be better.

She stared at me in shock. I guessed that my reputation about being a non-caring bitch hadn't reached her. I took a deep breath before I made it clear for her that I couldn't help her with that. She needed to find her own topic to write about, because if she didn't she might not manage to continue my class. And I also started to explain to her that the only way to become successful was to do things by yourself. That's how I got this far in my line of work.

I asked her if she understood and she just nodded and turned away. But before she disappeared from my sight I called her back.

"What's your name?" I asked her. My facial expression blank and emotionless.

"It's Jill Mastrano, Dr. Hathaway" she said, almost in a whisper.

"Are you taking more classes about forensic anthropology?"

"No, I'm focusing all my time with your classes, Dr. Hathaway" she said, now with curiosity written all over her pale face.

"That's good. I dearly recommend you to only focus on my classes if that's what you want to do in the future. It takes a lot of time to gain this amount of knowledge that I have and I'm willing to share. Just not in the way that you thought." I told her with a small smile on my lips, though it didn't reach my eyes.

"In what kind of way are you willing to share, Dr. Hathaway?" she asked.

She's definitely the one I need for this, I thought silently to myself. She seems determined and focused, which is the qualities I'm searching for in an assistant.

"What would you say about being my assistant at the Jeffersonian Institute Forensic Sciences Department? You will be paid for your time." I asked her.

I watched as her eyes lit up like a Christmas Tree and she started to nod her head vigorously. Good, Mia will be glad that I finally achieved to find me an assistant, I thought.

"I would be honored, Dr. Hathaway, to be your assistant." she smiled brightly at me.

I could practically feel her happiness in the air. I almost groaned, internally, because this girl is such a bubbly person. And I'm not a bubbly person, I'm a serious and professional one. And I need my assistant to be that too. Well, I thought, too late for that. The question has already been asked and answered.

"Good, be at the Jeffersonian 9am sharp" I told her with a stern voice.

"Yes of course, Dr. Hathaway" she said eagerly.

And with that, I turned around and started to gather my paperwork on my desk. This class was the last one for today and I needed to go back to the institute for some of my "real" work.

I sighed when I arrived back to my office in the Jeffersonian. I watched the screen of my computer and began to plan my next class for tomorrow. When I was done I headed to Mias office to inform her about my assistant. She's gonna be happy, that I'd finally found one, and would now stop nagging me about it.

"Hi Mia" I greeted when I entered her office.

"Hey Rose, what's up?" she asked. Bubbly as ever, that's my boss for you.

"I've found me an assistant" I informed her simply.

"You have?" she asked incredulously.

"Yes I have. Her name is Jill Mastrano and she's one of my students at the university" I said while raising my eyebrows. "I thought that, that's what you wanted?"

"Yeah, yes of course. But I didn't know that you actually would find someone to your likings" she said, amusement evident in her voice.

"Well, I have. And that's that."

"Okay, when will we meet her?" she questioned.

"Tomorrow morning"

"Good, well I don't know about you but it's late for me. So I'm gonna go home and I recommend that you do it to." she said while standing up from her table.

"I will, shortly after I've looked up those bones from the bronze age."

She nodded and started to go towards the buildings exit, waiving goodbye at me.

I sighed in relief and went to the bone examining room. I was thrilled about this bone in particular, because it's been a while since we had some that caught my interest. I examined it for a couple of hours and when I felt pleased about my work I headed home.

Before I went to sleep I thought about the coming day. It's gonna be an interesting day, with a new assistant and all.

So what did you think about it? Let me know!
