Hello fellow readers, this is my first story ever and I'm excited to see what you guys think. I know it sort of boring and drags on but it gets better. Review please :D

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Get up! God what's wrong with you! We are so going to be late!" my dearest cousin yelled.

I looked over to the alarm clock which was still beeping annoyingly...it was 5 in the morning. I knew I was going to regret buying that thing. I quickly clicked the snooze button and turned the light on in my room. My room painted black with stars all over. Juts how I like it.

"Give me a damn moment!" I yelled back.

I went to my closet and looked for something to wear. I got a black hoodie, put on black skinny jeans, and took out my black boots. I looked in the mirror. I had black hair that was slightly wavy and curled at the tips which were in layers. My hair reached just a little over my middle back. I had green eyes and full lips. My skin tone was between tan and peach. I put a little eyeliner on the lower part because people were always telling my I had long eyelashes and that eyeliner would ruin it. I wasn't a big fan for make up anyway. I realized I was wearing all black. Great, it looks like I'm going to a funeral.

"Are you almost done yet?" Sarah yelled, who was the cousin I lived with.

"Stop yelling! There's only a piece of flimsy wood separating us and I have sensitive ears!" I yelled back.

"Just hurry up" she said as I heard her footsteps walking away becoming more and more faint.

I took one last glance in the mirror and left the safety of my room. I went down stairs and into the kitchen looking to eat something for my taste buds.

I had lived with my cousin for almost 2 years now. My parents died in a war and even though I would like to know what they were like I didn't get all emotional over it. As if I were going to start cutting myself and start a pity clan over people I never knew. My aunt was the one that owned the house and everything but she was always away doing god knows what.

I continued to look around for something to eat when someone slammed the refrigerator door…along with my face.

"Sarah, what the fuck!" I yelled as I started to rub my nose.

"We are going to be late! You couldn't bother to put something more representable?" she said muttered.

She grabbed my hand and dragged me out the door. It was still dark outside and the wind hit my face like a slap. I quickly put my hood over my head and we started towards the car.

We quickly got in and Sarah started the car. She was only a year older then I was…technically. I was 16 and she was 17. We drove in silence for about 5 minutes when she started talking.

"So…how are you feeling? Nervous I bet" she said.

"Pssh, as if. This isn't exactly my first time you know" I retorted.

"Yes, I only know to well" she sighed.

Finally after 10 minutes we pulled into a parking lot. We got out the car and walked to two big doors and inhaled deeply. We opened the doors and walked into the main hall. Then another two doors lay ahead of, normal sized and I slowly walked in. There were people seated all over the place. I glanced at the clock and realized I was 3 minutes late.

"Look who decided to join us, take a seat. Please." A familiar voice said.

I went up to the front of the room and took a seat, my lawyer looking at me with annoyance. Yes, that's right. I'm in court…again.

"Now that you have decided to join us let the trials begin."

I looked at the far left of me to see the boy whose name was Andrew, my enemy. He glanced my way and gave me daggers. I sneered and bared my fangs, and yes I am vampire. Along with almost everyone else in the room.

Very few humans knew about us, or any mythical creatures for that matter. The ones that did know were either turned or killed. The thing is this court isn't exactly the same as a human would be. They asked questions and answered. The only difference was that if wanted the defender or offender would get bit. By doing this the court would be able to see what really happened. That's what happened all the time anyways but there were people who pleaded guilty scared of what the offender might do.

"Now lets here Andrew's side of the story first. Speak" the judge said.

Andrew walked to the seat where your were asked questions and sore to tell the truth and nothing but the truth etc etc.

"I was with my girlfriend. We were feeding when this girl came up and attacked me out of nowhere! She knocked out my girlfriend and tried clawing at my face so I pinned her down and jus then my girlfriend woke up. She thought we were going to…", I saw as he shivered and I rolled my eyes "Anyway so my girlfriend started getting angry and she sort of pushed Cleo, and they got into a fight. I tried to break them up but they just wouldn't".

My mouth dropped to the floor as his lies came easily through his mouth. Then my lawyer kicked in.

"What were you feeding on?"

"Human" he muttered.

"Do you know why you were 'attacked'?" he asked.

"No" Andrew replied.

"What were you doing before you were with your girlfriend?"

He thought about it.

"I was with her all day" He said shortly after.

"Well, according to a few…people you were seen with Cleo's best friend. Please, correct me if I'm wrong." My lawyer said calmly.

"You're wrong" Andrew said.

"Where is your girlfriend? Why isn't she here to justify what you speak of?"

"She's sick".

I saw as Andrew's eyes slowly turned to a dark murky red. He glanced my way. He knew that I know exactly what happened. The judge told Andrew to go back to his seat and I was called up. I saw the judge nod to someone. I saw a blur and a woman stood right in front of me. She looked at me and slowly began to come down on my neck. I felt the slight stinging and blackness took over.

I woke up in a bed but form my surrounding I could tell I was still at court. I opened a door to realize it was led right back to court. I sighed. Everyone was exactly were I had seen them last only Andrews eyes were normal. Everyone looked to see who it was and when Andrew saw me his eyes turned red. It happened so fast I didn't know what to do. I felt cold hard fingers slowly closing in on my throat. I brought my knee up hard hitting that one area no boy would want to get hit. Andrew doubled over but regained his posture quickly. He lashed out at my face and I was just quick enough to dodge. I felt adrenaline rush through my veins and I knew that my eyes turned red. I threw a punch and he caught my arm and threw me to the floor. Before I could get back up he kicked me in the stomach and I crashed into one of the pews. Pain shot through my back but vanished as quickly as it came. He walked over to me with a big ugly smile displayed across his face. All the while people where rushing out most of them humans and the vampires did nothing, looking confused as ever. I wondered what Andrews's power. As he came closer I grabbed his leg and pinned him to the floor. He stared up at me, hate in his eyes. Now I was the one smiling.

"Do it, kill me" he spat.

Call me cold hearted but this bastard deserved to die. The reason we were in court was because he raped and killed a poor innocent girl. His girlfriend witnessed it and they argued it became pretty violent and I happened to be there so I jumped in.

"Well, if you insist".

I brought my hand back and pulled it down with as much force as possible. I felt a cold hand stop mine just centimeters from Andrews throat. I growled deeply and slowly looked just to see the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.
