There was a new girl in town. Me. So far I hated this town. I also hated that fact of being stuck in a four-door white truck. All the houses were huge and frankly, boring. This place seems like Dullsville.
We drove through the town square. Every guy either walked in Khaki's, jeans, or golf pants. They also supported Hawaiin shirts, of vests with sweatshirts tied around their shoulders. The girls had jeans or mini skirts and supported halter tops of in-fashion shirts.
I shook my head and turned to my ipod. The Addams Family was playing. I stared at the screen until I felt the truck come to a stop. I took my eyes off of my ipod. My house was big, it was two stories, but it was wide.
My dad opened his door. He walked over to mine and opened it. I hopped out and grabbed my book bag. I closed the door and looked at the big U-haul attached to my dad's truck. My mom got out of her side of the truck.
"Isn't the house great?" She asked.
As I rolled my eyes I heard bats chirp. My mom looked up.
"I see the bats are welcoming us." She smiled.
I walked to the back of the U-haul where my dad was.
"Now please Ivy don't make us move!" He begged.
"It wasn't my fault, he picked the fight, I ended it." I crossed my arms.
"By biting him?"
"Well he shouldn't have picked on my best friend."
"I wish you would have punched him at least."
My mom came up, "What are you talking about, I'm proud of her!"
My mom is a vampire, my dad, well, he's human. I'm still trying to figure out how they fell in love. Even though my mom is a vampire she's very. . .bright. My dad is dark. He used to be in a band that would play at a night club back in Rockville. He's still a punk rocking a dark blue mohawk, a lip ring and black eyeliner. My mom was at the club one night and heard him singing and playing guitar. As a rebel "prep", she caught him backstage. That night though she supported a vampire-like outfit, mixing black and hot pink. My dad was impressed that she got past security, They went on a few dates.
The night my dad found out she was a vampire I think he almost had a heart attack. He was going to meet her at the park to go on a midnight hike. He heard a noise in the woods and went to investigate. He found my mom snacking on a deer. Yet, somehow, my dad stayed with her. They got married, the human way, and had a half-vamp, baby girl
I don't know if my dad will ever be turned, but for a human he's pretty wicked.
I followed my dad's footsteps. Being their abnormal, morbid daughter. I have my mom's silky black hair, my dad's violet eyes, and my mom's pixie like body figure.
I dragged my three giant bags in the house. My mom came in behind me.
"Theres a beautiful attic room with your name on it." She smiled.
My face lit up. I easily ran up the stairs with the three bags. I almost missed the door to the attic. It was consealed in the ceiling. A lonely string moved back and forth. I jumped in to the floor making a bang noise. I pulled the string, the door opened a ladder started falling. I quickly grabbed it and pulled it down.
I climbed the ladder .Once inside I looked around. It was dark, morbid, and had one window. It was perfect. I went back down and grabbed my three bags and tossed them up there. I knew I would need my moms help to get both my coffin and my bed mattress up there. Several hours later, they were placed in my new room, my coffin unnoticed.
I hardly used it, only during weekends, winter and spring break, and summer vacation. It was a simple black coffin, inside everything was a dark purple. I had various stickers on the outside of my coffin. My bed on the other hand was two sheets one was black to lay on and the other was a HIM comforter to snuggle in. My mom also got my dresser, radio, T.V., and game system in my room. Alls I had to do is unpack everything.
I figured I could do it later. I just threw my bags on my bed and started down the ladder and then the stairs.
"I'm out." I called once I was at my front door.
"Have fun! tell me what the town is like!" My dads voice came from the living room.
I left my house and down the drive way. I sighed. I don't think I'll be making any friends in this town. I didn't know where to go so I just walked.
Soon after many turns I was at a cemetery. I shrugged, at least no one would bug me here. I climbed the fence and jumped over. I heard two people talking.
OK, so I spoke to soon, but who, in the town, would come to a morbid place like this?
I decided just to keep walking , if they stop me, nothing a few punches can help. For a town they kept their cemeteries clean. I must have been walking towards them because their voices were getting louder. I heard a guy talking.
"Shh, I hear something."
His voice was deep, but not a manly deep. Then I realize they were talking about me. I turned left and walked that way, a way from them as quietly as I could. I would have made it, if my combat boots didn't snap a twig.
"Who's there." He asked.
I could run for it. . .Then I'd be a coward. So I did what I had to do. I stepped out in front of them. Now that I could see them properly they dressed like me instead of the other people in this town. The guy had black mid length hair and dark soulful eyes. The girl's eyes held shock- her black hair fell a little past her shoulders.
"Sorry, I was just on my way out." I mumbled.
The girl pipped up, "No, no you should stay, what's your name? Did you just move here? Why'd you move-"
"Raven let her talk." The guy said.
I smiled, "I'm Ivy, and yes I just moved here, I was forced to come to Dullsville by my dad."
"No way, you call this place Dullsville too?" Raven asked.
Her boyfriend looked at me strange.
He than asked, "Forced?"
"Yeah, I got into a fight, it was pretty bad. . ." I shut myself up before I could finish.
Raven gave me a confused look, "What do you mean bad?"
"I'd rather not get into that, my dad wants me to start fresh."
I kept glancing at the guy. There was something about him that seemed familiar. He gave me the same look. The wind picked up. Suddenly there was a shadow behind me.
"Hey Ivy. . Long time no talk." A guys voice said.
I turned around a blue and green eye stared at me. My jaw clenched.
"Jagger." I growled.
Raven and her "guy" gasped.
"Alexander Sterling, fancy meeting you here." Jagger said.
"I live in this town." Alexander stated.
I hate Jagger. He was a total dick. Jagger smirked at me, I glared.
"You owe me ten bucks!" I called.
"You're still on that, half breed?" He asked.
At lightning speed I was in front of Jagger and I had already punched him.
"Only I can call myself that." I growled.
Alexander and Raven stared at me dumb-founded.
"You're. . .a vampire?" Alexander asked.
"Correction, half-vampire, and seeming that Jagger knows you, you're a vampire."
Jagger got up, "Man Ivy, you pack a punch."
I turned to Jagger, my eyes narrowed into slits.
"What's wrong babe." He asked smiling.
I clenched my teeth, "Don't call me that!"
He knew he was pissing me off.
"Can't you forgive and forget?" He asked.
"If its from you, no!"
Alexander stepped in front of me.
"If you want Ivy, I'll take care of him."
"No, I deserve to kick his ass!"
Jagger was in front of me. His hand slipped under my chin. He smiled and leaned in.
"Do you really want to hurt me? I can make you whole, I can make you fit in."
"I'll make myself whole, I don't care if I don't fit in."
I punched him in his stomach. He stumbled back then started laughing.
"You can't become full vampire on your own Ivy." Jagger smirked wickedly.
"Then I'll wait for someone I truly love, so get out of my face Jagger and go back to your rotten life." I growled.
All of a sudden my mom was in front of me.
"Are you okay Ivy? I could hear you yelling and got- Jagger how nice to see you. . .Where's my daughters ten bucks?"
"Ah Mrs. Manson, I'm sorry I don't have my wallet on me- another time. Farewell." Jagger took off.
My mom looked at Raven and Alexander.
"Alexander!" My mom smiled, "I remember you, I'm friends with your parents and bought artwork from them."
Alexander's face soften, "Mrs. Manson, I remember you now and this is little Ivy!"
I stared at Alexander. Memories flooded back. I pointed at him.
"Ah, I remember you now!"
