We Are

Chapter one

Predictable

"Number 27!" a weak human yelled out to the sea of vampires. That was what they addressed us by, numbers. Really? What originality, seriously, oughta get an award for that one. We have names. And mine is Bella.

Formally known to the brain-washing twigs as 27. But hey.

"What did you do this time?" Emily hissed at me. I shrugged as innocently as I could. Jade and Blythe just rolled their eyes with a wry smile because they knew exactly what had happened. The twigs just didn't see their names on the thing.

Jade had short, thick, sleek black hair, deathly white skin (father was a vamp, mother was a witch), and jade/alexandrite colored eyes. Really, have you ever seen those alexandrite stones? They're beyond pretty in my humble opinion.

Blythe was a vampire-werewolf, strange combo, huh? A lightly tanned skin, long blonde hair, and pretty hazel eyes. Emily, is well. Sam's Emily. Ya know, remember them? (A/N C'mon people, bear with me, New Moon, ring bell?) Ya, Victoria was on a rampage one day and turned Emily. Sad day for Sam though.

Anyhow, I stood there pretending to inspect my nails. My cuticles were dead. Or so Jade tells me. I really could care less. A circle cleared around me once they noticed dear old Alex (the dictator if you didn't figure it out) was talking about me. Took 'em long enough too.

"Interesting mural, I must say," Alex sneered.

"I thought so," I said nonchalantly. "Great life-like resemblance." He turned bright red. The girls and I had made a crude looking picture that actually looked like that disgusting pimply nose of his.

"Too much pink if you ask me," Jade spoke up. Blythe and Jade sandwiched me, no way were they letting me get all the credit for the masterpiece on Alex's ceiling. The only reason why I was being specifically notified of the artwork was because one- I was the biggest rebel here and two- when we had signed our names most likely Alex only knew mine cause I stress it so much and I signed it on the most noticeable part. Not really my fault if ya think about it.

"I agree," Blythe amicably said.

"What happened to you Number 27?"

I raised my eyebrow.

"Really, Isabella, you used to be so obedient," Alex said mournfully like I was the cat that got ran over by the dump truck.

"I thought I'd done something wrong at first. Then I began to realize this didn't have anything to do with wrong-doings, it was about you ruling over us. Us, who didn't do anything potentially wrong. I agree the human eaters in the room aren't the best people to get chummy with but all we did was get bitten. Do you think anyone of us went up to a vampire and said 'bite me'? Really, where's the logic there?" I lectured. I'd a brilliant lawyer actually.

"Anyway, you need to help the new vampires around, they'll be located in your commons," Alex drawled as if I hadn't spoken at all. "They're out back."

Somehow, someway, Alex assigned helping the newbies to the camp. Strange dictator since he knows very well I'm the first one out of here. The crowd settled around Blythe and Jade as I moved forward to the back room.

For all the time I'd been here, I'd been favored. Odd. Alex had always made sure they weren't hard on me when he was around. It makes me think he's after more than taking over the world starting with the vampires. I'd always been given the best animal blood available (I'd shared with my girls though.) The best quarters. It was so weird. I was the only one labeled by my name. I hated to admit it, but somehow I'd become a favorite.

My slick vampire movements tapped the tile floor gracefully. Oh, I was still clumsy as ever, but not when I was on a mission though. My unfortunate gene was merciful. Swinging open the feeble wooden door that I could crush within seconds swung open to meet seven topaz eyes to match mine. I'll give you three guesses. Sometimes Fate was so predictable.

A/N Okay guys, this is my responce for Child-of-God13's challenge! Please review and tell me how I'm doing whether I suck or doing great, I wanna know D
