Chapter 1 Vampires, Werewolves and Shapeshifters Oh My!

I sat on the rooftop of our two story house with my sketchbook, music and tons of ideas. my long dark brown hair blew in front of my face, strands of it falling from the black beanie resting on the back of my head, i attempt to push my hair behind my ear but it rebels and continues to fly into my mouth "Eww i hate the taste of hair" I mumble to my self spitting a few strands out, sighing i try to decide which of my lovely monstrosities to draw first. A light knock on the window followed by two bright red Ughs stepping onto the roof announces the presence of my twin sister Isabelle "Hey Izzy" I say pulling out one of my ear buds and handing it to her as she sat down next to me "Hey Alex" she said smiling (as usual) and mashing the earbud into her ear, she grunted, pulling a spork out of her pocket "Glad to see Jeffry is still with us" I said nodding to the spork with a derpy face drawn on it that Izzy had carried around with her a habit from since she was at least five, "Yeah, i almost broke the poor dude earlier, I'm thinking about garbing a new one next time we go to Popeys" Izzy replied with a slight shrug "Nuuuu Jeffry is special, he lasted 2 months that's a new record" I said teasingly as she hummed along to the song "American Girl" that was blasting in her eardrum, I looked over at the profile of my sister, people always said she was the 'brighter twin' her long black hair pushed behind a headband and the bright pastel colors she wore compared to my to-big band shirts paired with ripped black tights and white short shorts to top it off (along with my occasional beanie) not to mention her smile that could brighten a room and that drew boys in like a moth heading towards a glowing lamp, her beautiful eyes that were every color and no color at once also captivated guys, while i was stuck with eyes that looked poop brown, the only thing we had in common was our cute button noses we had inherited from our mom. Izzy grabbed the pencil out of my hand and started doodling a face, she is the Disney twin, always daydreaming about Disney princesses, she could talk your ear off telling you all about every. Single. Disney. Movie. Ever. she is also better at drawing people then I am, but I am the messed up freak that little kids fear and was amazing at creating my terrifying monstrosities that could give grown men night mares "OH here kitty kitty kitty" I heard the smooth southern voice of a guy say from behind, i turned around ready to slap the person who said it but Izzy instinctively threw her arm out to stop me "No, bad Alex" she said teasingly, I glared a her before turning to the guy in the window frame "What Mitch" I said annoyed at the cute dude standing in front of me, he had brown hair that was always spiked and dreamy hazel eyes, not to mention he was well built, but most werewolves are. "Well Alex, I was wondering if you had heard the joke about the werewolf with a BONE-er" he said laughing, Mitch had one of those laughs that even if his jokes were terrible the way he laughed would at least make you smile, and I was no exception. "I'm pretty sure that's the worst joke I've ever heard" I said rolling my eyes at him. Izzy pulled out her earbud and started climbing back into the house, taking my sketchbook with her "Nooo give it back" I said sounding somewhat like a whiny toddler, Izzy rolled her eyes at me before sticking out her tongue "Come and get it" she said playfully as diamonds, and other various started to pop and fizz around her, in a millisecond she was surrounded in smoke and the half second after that whenever the smoke cleared, a lion the size of a child's toy wagon was in her place, my sketchbook in its mouth and a mischievous glint in its eyes. Even being just 16 me and Izzy were said to be the best shapeshifters there was, our mom was very talented in the craft and passed on her skills to us, she would be the best if it weren't for her murder... I could fell the rage rising inside of me as i thought about the stupid 'Purifiers' as they called themselves, they claimed they were cleansing our society of all the impure supernaturals, but try explaining that to a 5 year old and all you end up with is a terrified and pissed tiger the size of a minivan, that is if your dealing with a shapeshifter. I jumped back into the window concentrating on a small dragon, i felt little shapes pop and bubble around my as i took on the form "IZZY" I yelled running in the direction the small lion had gone, my other kinda sister, Brook, jumped out of the way as raced down the halls chasing my sister "GIRLS NO SHIFTING IN THE HOUSE" our adoptive mom Penelope yelled "Sorry Penelope, she took my sketch book" I said skidding to a stop and changing back to my usual human self, Penelope rolled her eyes and gave me her signature 'yeah sure' face and i sheepishly smiled with a small shrug "Love ya" I said before turning the corner and changing back into a dragon "I SAW THAT ALEXIA" Penelope shouted as i raced down the halls after my sister, finally catching up to Izzy I tackled her and grabbed the sketchbook from her, changing back into a human I skidded to a stop in our room "Bested again, when are you going to learn that I'm the sporty one" I said teasingly jumping onto my bed on the left side of our room, our room practically had a line down the middle, one side was covered in my band stuff and demonic creates that had crawled out of my mind and onto paper, my half of the room was painted a dark blue, On Izzy's side the walls were covered in different Disney posters and painted a light teal, Izzy giggled as she belly flopped onto her bed which of course was nightmare before Christmas themed, "So sistah, what shall we listen to today?" I asked walking over to our radio/CD player "Oh, oh, lets listen to scremo today!" Izzy cheered happily from behind me, that was one thing I liked about her when we were alone, Izzy had a secret dark side that I helped create and she mainly only showed it around me "Scremo it tis" I said digging through our CD's and finding one with scremo Disney and put it into our CD player "This one's my favorite" Izzy said sticking her head off the bed and staring at me with her beautiful eyes "Stop it, I fell like your looking into my soul" I said to her running over and plopping onto her bed nearly landing onto of her "Din din is ready girlys" Brook said opening our door before running and jumping onto my bed, "I love your room, its so, Y'all" Brook said spreading out like a starfish on my bed, Izzy giggled slightly "Scremo makes me laugh" she said getting up off her bed, "TO DINNER" shouted Mitch as her ran into the room and tackled Izzy onto her bed "Oops sorry Bell, I kinda crushed you" Mitch said rolling off her, Penelope stood in the doorway a hand on her hip "get you little asses in the dining room now" She said with a smile
