The Story of EJ Cullen

I was born, under the most unusual of circumstances.

My mother, saint like as she may have been is now a vampire. She gave birth to me and my sister, when she was human. Alone, and in the absence of my other genetic creator.

I refuse to call it a father.

I had never truly understood why he left, I find it perfectly applicable if he were a human, but he himself knew the level of emotional attachment we feel as vampires.

Well, even more considering Renesmee and I got half and half of the stick.

I'm sorry. I don't make much sense sometimes, my mind is a strange place.

'EJ, are you being all weird again?'

That, audience of my mind. Is my sister. Darling as she may be, she is almost the most annoying thing to walk on earth.

'It's called therapeutic cleansing of the mind. Try it some time, won't ya?' I had no right to be annoyed with Nessie now, but when my mind dwindled to my existence I just became annoyed like that.

'Who put a snake in your boot?' She commented, moving around the room irritatingly.

'Mom's been acting strange lately.' She was cautious mom was in the house, but she was hunting.

I agreed, mom was acting a little strange lately. She kept on bringing up her past a lot, commenting about how Nessie and I reminded her of it sometimes. I found it, irritating. I found a lot of things irritating but that's just how I was.

'We should set her up on a date.'

I raised my eyebrows, really shocked on this one.

'A date, with who? The only vampires we know apart from the Volturi' I gritted my teeth 'and it are no one'.

We lived in solitude from vampires, and recently had moved to a new town that goes by the name of Arington, the nearest school is in Washington however.

'We can find one. Think about the adventure, EJ!'

'ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, WOMAN?' I snarled practically, I'm not putting our small family in threat!

'No. I'm not. It's time you realised that the world doesn't just go on like this. We have eternity. I for one am not going to live it stuck here, I'm going to travel as soon as I'm 21'.

Times like this really made me feel like a father to Nessie, because she never had one. Due to it.

I remember, she specifically wanted one though. A few Christmases ago, she wrote 'daddy' on her Christmas list. Our mother explained to her for the billionth time, but even a super smart brain could not process some types of information.

'Good for you. We've only been alive 18 years and gone to school twice, I'm looking forward to a break too y'know.'

'What's all this talk about breaks?'

Mom let herself in, smiling at the sight of us.

'We were discussing going travelling after our 21st birthday.'

'That's nice.'

There was a pregnant pause, of course Renesmee could only be so inconsiderate like that.

'But not without you!'

That made mom slightly smile. In truth, she never really smiled. I got the vibe of rejection coming from her, her mind was covered with doubt.

Oh, that was my ability. I wasn't a mind reader, or someone that could sense emotions. I was just someone in between those two.

'Are you guys ready for school tomorrow?' She asked as a retreat to get away from the thought of leaving her, preposterous as it was.

'Ready is an understatement. I'm ecstatic.' Nessie said, queen of sarcasm.

'Hello purgatory.' My smile went all weird and crooked. I didn't like that smile, that genetic deformity.

Mom's face took on one of shock.

'He said those exact same words.' Oh, Christ.

I spent the rest of the night composing a new lullaby.

The notion of school, the playground for teenage interaction did itself no justice really.

They were all a bunch of socially awkward mules, in essence.

'You're doing it again.' Nessie said.

'What?'

'Being all look -at -me -and -my- good looks- whilst- I -observe -your- human -society-' She mimicked my voice terribly.

'Isn't that skirt a little too short?' I said more of a statement than a question and walked ahead of her to our new home room.

I gained some insights on the thoughts of us at this new school, Hope High as it was named.

Okay, lust was pretty common.

Fear? Hmm, I'll try to look less scary.

Admiration, ahhh, just as we were designed to do.

'Hey, I'm Malorie. Student body presedent, and also singl-'

Some other girl cut her off.

'And I'm Helen, captain of the cheer-'

I did what I do best.

Ignored the irritating females.

I heard some say 'rude' and 'bigshot' as I walked to the back of the class, away from all human sight.

Renesmee, on the other hand was a social euphoria. I didn't really worry when it came to males, she was smart enough to fend them off.

First period dragged. I answered everything correctly on Coleridge, as expected.

Second period was biology- and in all honesty, I was met with surprise.

He had to be a vampire, it was a certain verdict.

I didn't like the look of him, despite the gold eyes. Better stay away from my sister, or my mom punk.

'My family would like to speak to you and your sister at lunch.'

His name was Edward, and what I was oblivious to notice before we both ran our hands through our hair was that he was my father.

AN: I really liked the concept of EJ lately, so I thought- hey why not?! In reference to how EJ looks...well, there are so many actors that could play him! On my list so far, its Paul Wesley (Stefan, vampire diaries), Zac Efron (his Charlie St. Cloud look) and so many more!

Please R&R, I know its an usual story
