The Saga of Annie Shan

by Harkatsfav

Summary:

At the end of his life, Darren successfully prevents him and Steve from being pawns in Desmond Tiny's twisted game and passes on the torch to some other unwilling victims to take the two brothers' places.
But what if the person that Destiny sets his eyes on is someone a lot closer to home than Darren ever thought of?

A year after Darren Shan and Steve Leonard visit the Cirque du Freak, Annie Shan is dared by one of her friends to sneak out in the night with him to investigate the old theatre when she encounters a monster of the night with an unnaturally purple hue to it's skin who ends up changing her life forever.

Chapter 1: Prologue - Darren

"I've always been fascinated by spiders" is the sentence that started this whole series of events.

My fixation on spiders led to me stealing Madam Octa, which led to me having to leave my humanity behind and live the rest of my life as a Vampire, which then led to the war between Vampires and Vampaneze. In the end, Steve and I both died, preventing either of us from becoming the Lord of the Shadows. 

Enraged, Mr. Tiny decided to send me back, as a Little Person, to the day when me and Steve visited the Cirque du Freak and I was able to stop us both from ever getting involved with the world of the supernatural.

I know how insane this all sounds, I mean I wouldn't believe it myself if I didn't experience it, but it is all one hundred percent real.

That's enough about me. My story is over. 

Stopping my past self from making the same mistakes may have freed me from taking part in Destiny's game, but now someone else has to fill my shoes.

I don't know who that person will be. I only hope that they will be able to finally stop this unfortunate chain of events.
