"Melody, please get that box over there." Bethany motioned to a big cardboard box by the door of our old home.
"Leave it to me!" I cheered. I danced over to the box and picked it up with ease with my pinky finger, showing off a bit.
"Show off." Derrik muttered, I chuckled.
"Here, Ronald." I gave the box to my "father".
"Thank you Melody." He took the box and put it into Derrik's big monster jeep.
"Hey, has anybody seen Tiff?" I asked out loud, in a voice that a human would consider normal talk.
"Tiffany and Sky went to check out the new home." Bethany answered for me. "She told us to leave, that she and Sky will be at the house waiting for us to arrive. They brought a few things, so that and wandering the town should keep them occupied until we arrive."
"Okay then." I hopped into the drivers seat of the sleek black Lincon my "Mother" Bethany owned. "I call speed racer."
"It's not normal if a 10 year old was caught driving." Ron scolded. "But I suppose if you keep at a high enough speed, then you won't get caught."
"I'll race ya sis." Derrik challenged from the drivers seat of his jeep.
"You're on!" Ron and Beth got in my car and Derrik's wife Hillary got in his car.
"Be careful you." Hil scolded me.
"Don't worry Hil, Melody's the most capable driver on the road." Derrik assured her.
"I know that, she never causes any accidents and you still haven't beat her yet, Mr. I-swear-it-was-an-accident!" She mocked him.
"Get ready!" Derrik ignored her rant, I giggled.
"Get set." I added.
"GO!" We said at the same time. I accelerated from 0 to 70 in a second, Derrik only made it to 50, man he's slow!
We weaved throught the traffic of the highay, making sure not to get caught by any crusers that may be circulating the area. I read the mind of the drivers I passed and of Derrik who was cursing in his head at me, making me chuckle.
Ron looked at me. What's so funny?He thought.
"Derrik hates losing." I simply stated. Ron sighed, knowing what I meant.
"Tell him not to say such vulger words if only you can hear them!" Beth added.
"I don't know if he could hear me if I did, he's too far back." I chuckled. I heared a growl rumble in my head, only making me giggle this time. "My big brother's getting angry."
I wish the two of you would stop with the fighting. I looked at my father. "We're not fighting, we're competing!" I flashed a victory grin as I stopped the car and took my seatbelt off. I hopped out of the car and in 2 more seconds, Derrik's Jeep stopped a mere 2 centimeters from my face, I didn't flinch. Even if it had hit me, I wouldn't be the one getting hurt.
"Damn it!" Derrik screamed from behind the wheel. He cut the engine and hopped out. He rummaged through his pocket and pulled out 2 100 dollar bills and put them in my hand. "You win this time, but I swear, you're going down next time!" He stomped away into the new house. I giggled and danced after him.
When we got inside, Beth had the place nearly furnished. I took my belongings up to my new room. I stacked the walls with the manga I was obsessed with and anime DVDs. I stacked my bookshelf with my favorite books, that didn't include my manga. I hung posters up of the popular idols of this generation and covered the wall over my bed with pictures of my family and pictures of the friends I had when I was still human, and the friends I had made after my change.
My rug was a light blue that went with the theme of my room. This time, Beth's insparation was underwater, so my walls were navy with bubbles and fish on them. Sail boats and whales framed the boarders of the floor and over my door and windows.
"Mom! Do you know where the box with my electronic's is?"
"It's still down here." Beth answered.
"Thanks." I said as I came face to face with her in the next second. "Did Derrik steal those snacks again?"
"Knowing him, yes. He did just lose to you so he'll do anything to get back at you."
"Okay, thanks." I heard a car stop, behind Derrik's Jeep. The passangers got out. I headed for the door, Skylar and Hilary at my heels. There were 3 vampires, and they didn't look at all happy.
