This story was inspired by the Twilight Saga!!! (I don't own that!!)

Joe
I WANTED TO RIP HIS HEAD OFF. If he knew what was best for him, he would stop talking to Ali now. But he didn't, apparently. I didn't know how I was keeping myself under control. Usually, if I was this mad, I would be turning into some sort of creature. Something big, something scary.
Something that would scare Lane into the Hell he should be in.
Not that being a vampire is a bad thing, no. But being a vampire had it's disadvantages. Like the fact that I couldn't control who Ali loved. No matter who it was, I had to be cool about it.
I owed her that much.
The five of us sat at our usual table in the center of the lunch room at Erskine Academy. Not my favorite school, I had to admit, but it was in the one place that we didn't have to hide from the sun for a long amount of time. Maine.
Lane was on my left, talking to Ali who was at his side. Olivia was on my right, talking to Sierra who was sitting across from me.
This was the group of friends that I had been living with since I had basically turned them all into what I am.
A vampire.
I didn't have a very good memory of my human life. Only blurs. I remember dying. And the pain. That was pretty much it.
And it sucked having that as your last human memories.
Since the year 1893, I have been damned into an afterlife where I was frozen forever as a 17 year old. Yeah, I couldn't get older. And I couldn't stay in a place for very long before someone figured that out. It was the same with my friends, too.
As the bell rang, we all stood from the table at vampire speed. As much as we tried to hide our secret from the humans, we just wanted to be out of there. And I was sure the others knew how annoyed I felt.
We all walked to our next class. Lane shot a smirk at me and then waved to Ali, who was walking next to me.
God, he was getting on my nerves.
Olivia and Sierra walked on the other side of me. It was always a little weird hanging out in a group where there were more girls than boys, but these girls were awesome. They were strong, fast, and had a special ability just like Lane and I did.
They considered me their leader. I didn't have a problem with that. I had changed, technically speaking, all of them.
I had changed Lane, for he was freezing to death. At that point in time, it was the only thing I could do for him.
Then I had changed Ali. Ali, who I couldn't stand getting hurt from the beginning, was bleeding to death from getting shot. She had jumped in the way of a bullet that was hurdling towards her younger sister.
Lane was the one that changed Sierra. For one, he needed the practice to overcome his hunger for human blood. And second, I just couldn't change any more people. It didn't feel right.
Sierra had been kidnapped and stabbed. She had multiple knife wounds all over her bloody body at the time. Lane acted quickly, but I thought it had been too late. Her chest was barely rising and falling and her eyes were growing more and more blank by the second. But Lane had saved her, and she had survived a very near death.
Technically.
Sierra changed Olivia. Olivia had been hit by a bus, and she had hit her head, falling into a coma. When Sierra felt that she was going to die without our help, she changed her. She did better dealing with the blood than Lane did.
And then, I decided, that the five of us were enough.
Olivia and Sierra said goodbye to Ali and I and walked off to their study hall. That left Ali and I alone, for a small amount of time.
We had English together. And I was happy about that.
We walked silently to the classroom and took our usual seats next to each other.
I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful vampire face. Her short blond hair shaped her face perfectly and her pale skin stood out with the red turtle neck she was wearing. Her pink lips were pursed into a tight line, and she had the same eyes I had.
The same eyes Lane, Olivia, Sierra, herself and I all had.
Ice blue.
I found them hypnotizing. Most of all on her. I remember hearing some other boys in school talking mostly about the girls and how their eyes were piercing. They never seemed to noticed that their eyes were the same color as Lane and mine, too.
Ali and Sierra looked like sisters. But the main reason for that, of course, was the fact that they were both vampires.
And they both had something more special about their ice blue eyes. Something that the rest of us never understood.
But whatever the case, Ali's eyes stood out most to me. They weren't as blue as Sierra's, but they weren't as icy as mine, either.
They were perfect.
"Joe?" She asked looking at me with a confused expression.
Thats when I realized that I had been staring.
"Sorry." I said under my breath. I knew she would hear it.
"For what?" She asked.
"Staring." I answered, now completely embarrassed.
"Oh, Joe!" She giggled.
I loved it when she laughed. Her whole body shook with her
high-pitched laughter and I couldn't help but smile.
"What?" I asked laughing along with her.
"You know I don't care if you stare or not! I deal with it on a daily basis!"
It still bothered me that other guys were looking at her that way. Not that I would blame them. She was beautiful.
But there was more about her that they didn't understand. Ali was so much more than beautiful. She was amazing. She was talented.
She was too good for any of them.
The period ended way too soon. I didn't realize the bell had rung until she had stood up at a normal human speed, trying to keep our huge, dark secret away from the humans.
The good news was that if one of us did say something we shouldn't have, Sierra could always make them forget the whole conversation.
That was the neat thing about all of us monsters.
We were all freaks, too.
Like me. I was a shape-shifter. When I got really mad, I would turn into some random thing that matched my anger. And when I'm fighting, I think of something that would help me win.
It's not just animals, either. I can be other people, too.
And sometimes, if I concentrate hard enough, vampires.
Ali, my sweet Ali, had a power too. She could freeze time, which in most cases, while we are fighting a dangerous battle or getting ready to blow our secret out of the water, was convenient.
Sierra could make people forget things. Which came in handy everytime we did reveal what we were, or if the enemy knew something about us (like our weaknesses) that we didn't want them to know. She could also, in extreme cases in which we most needed it, shield people, vampires, and herself. But she always kept that little power bottled up inside of her, waiting to explode at just the right moment.
Lane could multiply himself. This usually helped us when we were fighting. He could easily distract and confuse the enemy while the rest of us attacked them. Then he just used it to annoy us in most cases.
Olivia could see the future. Which was good, considering no one else could ever understand why our life was endless, and yet she did. She could see our whole life span reaching out in front of us on the road to eternity. The future always changes, but it still feels nice when someone who can see the future tells you that you will live forever.
I never understood how I got like this. I couldn't remember who changed me, who stayed with me through the suffering pain, or if anyone ever did. It was all a blur, as the rest of my human memories were. But you would think I would remember that, at least.
But I didn't.
As we walked out of the room together, we were joined by Olivia and Sierra. Lane was still down in the 12th grade wing.
"Anything interesting happen in English?" Sierra asked Ali.
"Well..." Ali said playfully looking at me. I couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, I get it." Sierra finally said with an understanding face.
"No you don't." Olivia said, smiling. "I saw it all coming."
"Oh, so now you can read minds, too?" Sierra asked.
"No, but you are so easy to read. They are not going out, Sierra."
"Oh." Sierra had a disappointed face and she shrugged.
I swear, sometimes she was as blonde as Paris Hilton.
"But I'm a brunette." Sierra said, confused.
Apparently I had said my thoughts out loud. Oh well.
Everyone laughed as she still looked confused and kept on saying things like, "I don't get it," and, "I'm so confused."
Shocker.
We walked to our last two periods. I had Gym and Math with Sierra, and Olivia had Reading and Drama with Ali.
We went our separate ways. Ali gave me a quick smile before disappearing into the Reading room.
If my heart was beating, it would have stopped.
Sierra still looked confused. I laughed.
"When I said, `blonde as Paris Hilton,' it meant that you sometimes act as stupid as she does." I explained.
"That makes me feel so much better." She said rolling her eyes and smiling as we entered the gym.
I knew she wasn't really this stupid. She was just messing around with us. She did that a lot.
I got changed into my gym clothes and met Sierra by the benches that we usually sat on. And as usual, we got stares from adoring guys, and obsessed girls.
Another disadvantage of being a vampire.
We drew everyone in.
"Okay class." The coach said. "We will be playing dodge ball."
Great.
She looked over at Sierra and I as if she heard what I had thought. Then, to my relief, she looked away to another student who happened to be another guy.
"Josh, pick a person and go to your side." The coach demanded. What was the point? We all knew who he would pick.
"I pick Sierra." Josh said smiling our way and sprinting toward the other side of the gym.
"Go figure." Sierra mumbled mostly to herself, but she knew that I could hear it too.
I laughed.
"Try not to kill him." I said just as quietly as she had.
"I'll try my hardest."
Then she walked to the other side of the gym while Josh basically jumped up and down with joy that he got to have his crush on the same team as him.
Too bad he didn't know she was a vampire.
We played for a while until, as usual, it was down to Sierra and I.
I hated this part. It was hard not to play things like this like the way you really would. Like a vampire.
Like usually, I would turn into some super-fast animal and then once I did, she would make me forget why I turned into it in the first place. I liked it better that way.
But we couldn't right now.
"GO SIERRA!" Josh called.
She rolled her eyes, and I chuckled.
Bad move.
As soon as I laughed and lost focus, she sent the ball hurling toward me. It hit my arm and she jumped up and down smiling.
"Woohoo!" She shouted.
I smiled and felt pats on my back.
I would get her back later. She was like my little sister, after all. It was my job to get her back.
I saw Josh pick her up and spin her around. Then I saw her slap him with human strength when he let her go.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Then we changed back into our normal clothes and left when the bell rang. We walked through the halls and then went into the math room.
Another end to another day. The same as always.
But there was a feeling deep in my gut that there was going to be something, and I didn't know what, new tomorrow.
