AN: Name Meanings on my profile! Oh yeah, sorry there's no summary: sorry guys…

Chapter One

CPOV

Okay, let me start with introductions. My name is Callie. I am thirteen years old. Then there is my twin, Clara. We both have long curly waist-length blonde hair. I have sky blue eyes. My right eye has a few darker specks in it. Clara has dark blue eyes and her left eye has lighter specks in it.

My mother, Cynthia, is very tall. She has strawberry blonde hair reaching down her bottoms. She has blue eyes like me. My father, Thanatos, too is very tall. He is muscular. (He kind of looks like a warrior to me.) He has short curly black hair. His eyes are a deep brown.

Then it is our fifteen year old sister, Celeste. She looks like Dad.

Last, but not least, is my brother Alexander, Alex for short. He is seventeen. He is well built, like Dad. Has dad's looks, but with us, he has blue eyes. All the girls are swooning at the sight of him, but he doesn't take notice to them. Strange, really, if you ask me.

Another thing that's strange: each of our eyes are circled by gold. It's like white, gold, color, pupil.

We live in Gomesville in Italy. (AN: There is no such place as Gomesville). It is surrounded by woods. The population is about 2,500 people. Meaning it is small. There is only one high school, and it is Gomesville High. The primary school is next to the high school: Gomesville Primary. Yay! Note the sarcasm. Today is the 7th of April, meaning it's two days after my birthday.

My family and I have some strange gifts… Like Mom seems to know everything, and Dad seems so… wise. Alexander has extraordinary strength and also seems to be like empathy.

Clara and I can talk to each other in our minds if we wanted to. Clara is physic(but visions always change, and we don't always see everything) and seems to be able to make dead things alive again. It's amazing. I can sense if someone is lying to me, I have feelings for when danger comes (strange, right?) and I seem to know everything. I'm physic, too.

Oh, and we all seem to have shields.

"Callie, wake up! We're so late!" I heard my sister call to me. I groaned but climbed out of bed. The clock said it was 07:10 and school starts at half past. I rushed to the bathroom and had a super quick shower. When I climbed out, I put my robe on and walked to the mirror. I don't blow-dry my hair, because then my natural curl is hidden. I ran back to my room and got dressed. I threw on some grey skinny jeans, black warm boots (no heels), a white tank-top and a black pullover. Once again I moved to my mirror.

I looked okay. I was tall, we all were. I pulled my curly hair into a rushed French braid. I put on some diamond earrings. Lastly, I put on our family crest: a necklace with your color rose on it. Mine was sky blue, like my eyes. Then I put on my charm bracelet. It had each of my family's mini version of a rose on it: Mine (sky-blue), Clara (dark blue), Alex (cream), Mom (white) and Dad's (Black, for death). I smiled and rushed downstairs.

I skipped into the kitchen and sat down on the table to wait for the rest. First Clara came down. We were dressed the same. Then Alex came down. He wore tight black skinny's, a blue dress shirt, black converse and a dark basketball jacket with our last name at the back of it: McAdams. Celeste is staying home today, she does not feel too well.

"Morning girls." He greeted us. "Mornin'!" we replied. I hopped off of the table. "Can we go now, please Alex?" I asked him. He nodded and we followed him to the garage. We got into his black Porsche. We were about five minutes away from school, but Alex sped like a mad man and we made it in two. He drove into the High School Parking lot, drove to the very front, and parked at an empty space. He probably wanted to show off his new car.

As soon as we climbed out of the car, the bell rang. I looked back to my brother, and saw Shelley all over him. Shame, poor guy. Clara and I hooked arms and walked slowly towards our first class: Math.

The morning passed by in a blur, and before we knew it, it was lunch. I had a really strange feeling in my stomach. It was as if it screamed: Oh my Goodness! Callie, something is going to happen. Something BAD! It made me quite uneasy. Clara and I walked towards the High School Cafeteria, since 7th graders could sit there if we wanted to.

When we entered the cafeteria, the uneasy feeling intensified by 100. You aren't supposed to be here! WRONG PLACE! Callie! DANGER!

Clara must have sensed my discomfort, since she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder and gave it a soft squeeze.

"Thanks." I whispered to her. She just smiled. We stood in the line and bought us some food.

Once we were finished, we moved towards our table. The 'popular' table. There sat Bonnie, an extremely nice girl, who is kind of a physic too, Meredith, Megan and Caroline(Kinda bitches, but nice none the less), Mark (extremely cute guy), Tyler and Aiden (JOCKs!), Alec and Bale (HOT).

I sat between Bonnie and Megan. "Guys, guess what?" Megan whispered excitedly. "Hmm, your dog died?" I joked. She grimaced, then huffed angrily. "No, dumbass, there's going to be six new students joining tomorrow. They are close like family, but not really. They are just kids' who's parents died or something and got adopted by the same couple. They are from Volterra. I heard that they are extremely pale, inhumanly gorgeous, and have RED EYES! Freaky, huh?" she asked. We all nodded in agreement.

"So, how do you know all these things, Megan?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes. "Hello? Anyone there?" She asked, tapping at the top of my head. I pushed her hand away. "Because Dad's told me." She said in a 'duh' tone. Before we could say anything, an announcement that had me a bit nervous, blared through the speakers in the cafeteria.

*"Callie McAdams, Clara McAdams and Alexander McAdams, report to the office immediately. You are to bring all of your belongings from school with you, as you will most likely be excused for the rest of the day. Thank You."*

Our friends looked at us worriedly. I was a bit shaken up. Clara stood up and waited for me to do so too, but I was frozen. Something has happened, something horrible. Alex came over to me and helped me stand up. As soon as I was up, he let go of me again. We started walking, but I felt dread wash over me. I could have stopped whatever had happened.

I started sobbing as I hit the floor. Alex and Clara turned around when they heard me. "Cal, what's wrong?" Alex asked me worriedly.

I cried even harder. I could have stopped it. "S-some-one d-d-d-died, I t-think." I gasped out softly. His face instantly hardened. He picked me up bridal style and carried me out of the cafeteria. He knew not to argue with me.

When we entered the office, I saw my grief-stricken parents. They eyes were puffy red from crying. Oh no. who died?
