It was night when Adrianna Leavitt made it to her new home
in New Riverview. She hadn't left much behind her in Sunset Valley, just a
couple of ghosts and an old family home she never wanted. She was here to make
a fresh start away from the dramas of her past.
Since it was late all she could do was climb into her new
bed and fall asleep.
The next morning she set about making herself some breakfast
before starting her daily routine. She wondered while the waffles cooked if
this town was really the right choice. Her mother had always spoken fondly of
the small town but that had been before the town had been abandoned and
rebuilt. Most of the structures were the same but the people here had no
relation to the people her mother had known. She supposed only time would tell if she made
the right decision.
After breakfast she got right to her daily workout. Fitness
had always been her biggest hobby, if she didn't spend an hour a day working
out she felt like she’d wasted it.
Once her workout was finished and she’d freshened up she
headed down to the local police department and picked up her work information.
Since she’d be starting tomorrow she decided to explore the town a bit.
Her first stop was one of the small parks in the middle of
the main town. She sat down at a chess board and challenged herself to a match.
Next to exercise chess was her passion.
Since she had splurged on a burger and fries she made
herself jog home rather than calling a cab.
In the morning she had a quick breakfast before rushing out
the door to catch her carpool.
Work ended up being a long day as she was asked to stay late
and help with paperwork. It wasn't exactly the glamorous work Adrianna had been
hoping for but it was a start. When she arrived home she prepared herself some
dinner and then got to her workout since she’d missed it in the morning.
As she climbed into bed that night she noticed the creepy
glow of the full moon and frowned. Full moons brought meant zombies, hopefully
none disturbed her rest tonight.
A peaceful night of sleep later and Adrianna found herself
with a big fat promotion.
Never
one to let things get her down she headed across the street to the warehouse,
where she was greeted by the proprietor, who immediately started flirting with
her. Adrianna was used to this kind of attention she spent her high school days
moving from one guy to the next, so she smiled back at him and did some
flirting of her own.
The night drew to a close and she decided it was time to
head home figuring she’d come back and chat with the cute proprietor again
another night.

So it's pretty short but I never seem to take enough pictures even when I think I've taken a ton. This is my first attempt at actually blogging a Legacy. I have probably attempted to actually do the challenge like a billion times but I always seem to give up around the 2nd to 3rd generation. I figure this time if I blog it I'll be more motivated to actually finish. I'm not really that thrilled with this chapter but it is what it is, I'm never really happy with my writing anyway.
Roll for Generation One is:
Marital Structure: Single
Number of Children: Two
Income: Law Enforcement (Forensics)
Generation Goal: Fulfilled
Misc. Fun: Live your trait
I think it was a good opening chapter. You set the scene for who she is and was, and why she moved and showed us what she likes to do.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to reading more :)
Agree with gemly, you are off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteBlogging a story often does keep you motivated to carry on with a legacy. At least for me it does. =D
Welcome to the challenge!
I swore when I was a kid, that if I had a girl I was going to name her Adrianna. I so loved that name. Funny thing though, my husband hated it, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou're off to a nice start! The first chapter of the first legacy is hard!
Thanks :) Lol my husband hated most of the names I liked too!
