Sweet, hot, sticky blood ran down my throat, and over my taste buds. My energy levels immediately went up but I still had a burning taste for something else. Of course I knew what it was; human blood.

But I can't.

I'm Rosalie Hale.

Perfect, beautiful, vegetarian vampire.

Resentment flowed through me, strong and powerful as I thought about how Carlisle turned me.

I hate being a vampire!

"Rose!" I stood up, rolling my eyes. The dead deer slumped by my feet, blood pouring from the puncture wounds in its neck. "There you are. Baby, what's wrong?" I turned around to see Emmett who came towards me, wrapping his strong, muscly arms around me. My hands dangled limply by my side as I didn't have it in me to return the favour.

"Nothing's wrong Emmett." I sighed. I knew Edward would have been rifling through my thoughts but I know he would never tell anyone what I'm thinking. He's at least that decent.

Emmett's golden eyes sought mine and I knew what he wanted.

Sex.

"Not tonight." I said immediately.

"Why not?" he whined. I shuddered mentally, thinking about his hard, cold, dick. It's not that I don't like our making love; it's just that I want to be able to have a baby. I want to be able to really make love.

Besides, he doesn't even turn me on.

"I'm not in the mood." I replied icily, preparing to run back 'home.'

"You're never in the mood anymore." He pulled me around sharply and forced his lips onto mine. I didn't stop him; just let him get it out of his system. His hands found their way into my blonde hair and eventually I started kissing him back. I felt tiny under his big hands, another reason why I didn't like kissing him.

The other reason is because I don't feel any spark. When you're in love, aren't you supposed to feel it?

His kissing is sloppy, his lips are cold, and he's just too rough.

But the thing I want the most is warmth.

I want to be human again!

He suddenly broke away angrily and walked away from me. To my surprise, I felt an overwhelming sadness overcome me. The sudden realisation that I'm never going to live a normal life was threatening to break me down.

Being a vampire is unfair. It's almost like being human but not quite. It's a grasp at straws.

I can't even cry!

"Get over it!" Emmett's loud, booming voice filled the silence. I almost jumped. "You're never going to be human! Why can't you just be happy to live forever with me? Aren't I good enough for you?" His face looked pained as he stared at me, but then it turned bitter. "Wait, what am I thinking? Of course I'm not good enough for you. Nobody is ever good enough for Rosalie."

His words ripped a hole through me but I didn't let him see it. I just looked at him coldly, keeping emotions off of my face.

"I'm leaving." I said softly, and before he could say anything else, I was out of there and running back to Carlisle's home.

"Rose?" I heard Edward call but I just brushed past him and into my room, slamming the door behind me. I couldn't stop the thoughts running through my mind, so I knew Edward already knows what happened. I sighed and sat heavily down on the couch, my face in my hands.

I heard the door open and Edward's scent filled my nose. He sat down next to me, close, but not quite touching.

"Rose-" he began but I snapped.

"No! Shut up! You have no idea what it's like for me!" I screamed at him, anger now making my vision red. "I didn't ask for this! I don't want to be like you! I don't want to have to feed off of animals to survive! I want to be human!"

"We've had this conversation before Rose."

"Get out!" I shouted, suddenly pushing him as hard as I could. He didn't move so I pushed him again and again before he got the message. He left without another word and I finally started sobbing. My eyes were stinging, needing the tears that couldn't come. I got up and kicked over my bookcase in a fit of anger, letting out a scream of frustration.

Eventually I calmed down and sat back on the couch, feeling drained. I looked out the large windows and saw the sun rising up from behind the trees. It was beautiful, big, and orange.

That was one thing I liked about being a vampire. I didn't have to sleep so I could watch the sun rise every morning. I never get tired of seeing it. It always calms me down.

As soon as that thought disappeared, another one reappeared, reminding me that I had to go to school. Or as I like to put it, hell. Spending all day around humans, pretending to be one is not only torture to my thirst, but also it is mentally damaging. I have to pretend to be a human every day just so I won't be killed.

I sighed, got up and went to my wardrobe trying to decide what to wear. Everybody else in this family has a purpose, or a power. Me? I just stand there and look pretty. Although that's not too hard. Even as a human I was very attractive but becoming a vampire intensified those looks and I've basically become the most beautiful person in the world.

I actually really like that.

"Rose! We have to go to school!" I heard a pissed off Emmett yell. I rolled my eyes and walked as slow as I could down the stairs just to piss him off even more. "Why do you have to be such a brat?" he hissed in my ear as I reached the bottom. I looked at him and gave him a flirty smile.

"That's what I'm best at baby." I heard him sigh and I grinned. I walked outside and towards our big red BMW. Carlisle wanted us to be inconspicuous so naturally Emmett bought a big, flashy car. Edward complained so he ended up getting a fancy Volvo.

Money is not an issue in this family.

"Hey Rose!" I heard a cheerful voice call. Alice bounced into view with Jasper in tow, holding her hand. Alice's hair was jutting in all directions and Jasper was looking like he was constipated, like usual.

"Hey," I muttered. Both of them rolled their eyes and I suddenly felt calm, and happy. "Jasper! Cut it out!" I snapped. Jasper was using his power to manipulate my emotions again and I hated it.

"Sorry, just thought you needed it. You look a little," he hesitated. "Stressed."

"I'm fine." I growled and got into the car without another word. Soon after Emmett appeared and got in the front seat silently. I have really pissed him off. Without warning Emmett stepped on the gas and we flew down the streets. This would be considered fast to humans, but to me it's still frustratingly slow.

Five minutes later, we stopped outside the dreary building called Forks High School. I hopped out the car, ignoring the usual stares we get. Edward appeared by my side looking tense.

"What's wrong?" I asked. His jaw clenched even further.

"You'll find out soon enough." he muttered, sounding strained. I frowned. What the hell is he talking about? I shook it off and walked across the parking lot towards the building. The humans' conversations drifted in and out of focus, and I caught bits of it, mainly concerning about a new girl called Bella.

Was that what was bothering Edward? I shook it off and went to my first class, settling down at the back, preparing to not listen like I usually do. The teacher started his pointless lecture about some war that I was probably alive in and then the bell finally went for lunch or something.

Well we had to go in the cafeteria.

I walked through the doors and my attention was immediately caught by a mouth-watering, human scent. I'd never smelt anything like it. It had my mouth salivating venom. I stood there for a moment, trying my best to keep in control. Where was the smell coming from? No human has ever made me so thirsty.

I realised I'd been standing on the spot like a weirdo so I swallowed hard and walked to our normal table where the Cullen's usually sit. Nobody ever talks to us, because we were outcasts. Beautiful, strange and different.

I sat down next to Emmett, who put his arm around me. I still felt bad vibes coming from him but he was trying to forget what happened between us.

"Can you guys smell that?" I hissed lowly, so only they could hear. They looked at me puzzled except for Edward who nodded grimly.

"New girl." he said, still sounding strained. I looked around the cafeteria wildly, looking for my new source of entertainment.

And then I found her.

She was staring right at me with chocolate brown eyes. She had pale, pale skin, almost as pale as mine. Brown, long hair.

She was beautiful and smelt amazing.

Jealousy coursed through my veins but I couldn't seem to look away. She was enticing, interesting. I heard Edward hiss at me and I turned around in alarm.

"Jesus Christ, keep out of my head." I snapped at him.

"Stop thinking about the human like that then." he snapped back.

"What are you talking about?" Emmett asked confused.

"Bella Swan, the new girl. She came from Phoenix. Chief Swan's daughter." Alice answered. I looked at her in surprise.

"How do you know?"

"I had a vision about her. I'm not sure why though." she said frowning. I turned around and saw again that Bella was looking at me, her eyes slightly wide. She blushed and looked away, embarrassed. I laughed lightly but caught myself.

What the hell? The others were looking at me strangely and I scowled at them.

"Rose," Edward said warningly.

"What do you think I'm going to do Edward?" I asked, rolling my eyes. "Give me some credit." I got up and walked slowly out of the cafeteria doors, chucking my untouched food into the bin.

"Excuse me?" I suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice say, timidly. I turned around, ready to tell them to piss off when my eyes met those chocolate brown ones.
