"Well, it is a prologue so I suppose it is intended to build dramatic tension," said Alcuin.
He flipped through a few pages of the book to see what came next and then said, "Well, why don't we at least get through a bit of the beginning then, this seems much more innocuous." He started to read from Chapter One. "My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down..."
It was indeed at this point a tame and not terribly interesting tale of a daughter being forced to move to a new town to live with her father. She was rather brooding and Alcuin did not entirely understand why. He also did not entirely understand the paradigm of high school, but she seemed far more concerned with fitting in with other young people than with her studies. And then she spotted Edward Cullen, who was mysterious and beautiful and, to Alcuin's understanding, rather creepy.
At the end of chapter one, Alcuin closed the book and said to Ignis, sounding amused, "I suppose we found our vampire. He's not very charming, is he. I suppose he must be very attractive."
