In Love or Confused?
Heigh-ho! It's off to Forks we go!
I opened my eyes to see the excited face of my twin sister, Audrey.
"Rise and shine, honeybuns!" she yelled excitedly, jumping on my bed. She was the one who didn't need to sleep. Lucky. I was the one who couldn't eat human food. We are half-vampire twins who look like we're seventeen. Audrey is the taller one between us. We both have gold eyes with a blue ring around the pupil. She is thin with a little bit of curves. We look nothing alike, in a sense. I'm curvier than her with bigger boobs (if I don't say so myself) with a more athletic shape. I have long black hair down my back that is curly and slightly parted to the side. (pic of jennifer's hair on profile) Audrey had long pitch black hair with wispy side bangs that she sometimes wore straight to show her layers, and sometimes in curly ringlets down her back (pic on profile). But the part that you can tell us apart from everyone else is our skin and eyes. We both have ivory colored skin with bruise-like featers around our eyes. Usually, Audrey changes our appearences when needed, but this time we're going the way we are. That's one of her gifts-changing appearences. Her other ability was to conjure objects out of thin air-but not people or animals. Being vampires, we have unhuman beauty, so we tend to turn it down a notch, to lessen suspician (if there is any.)
"All right, all right, I'm up! Bejesus!" I said. "Can you stop jumping? I'm getting naucious!" She finally stopped and jumped down off the bed with such grace that even I stared.
We were moving to Forks, Washington today from LA. We can control the sunlight problem that most vampires cant with the sparkling and all, so we tend to live in sunny places. We knew it was time to go, though.
I got dressed in my Juicy polka-dotted red cami paired with my juicy white jeans, Michael Kors dark brown high-healed boots, topped off with a dark brown cropped jacket. (similar pic on profile). When I came downstairs Audrey already had our suitcases in our cars, which was surprising. I'm deffinately the stronger out of the two of us, and I usually did it without a thought. Audrey was wearing a casual lilac francesca picket fence dress with cream colored flat ankle boots (pic of dress on profile). Her hair was in curly ringlets today.
"Thanks Curly!"
"Ugh you know i hate that name!" We loved to tease each other. I always had funny nicknames ready from when we were kids. We always end up even though. I was known as Buffy, due to my strongess.
I said goodbye to my black 2009 Escalade Hybrid and my 2010 BMW 328 and I signed the form for shipping them. Audrey did the same with her cherry red 2009 Porsche Boxter and her big 2009 Hummer H3 SUV. She got into her 2009 Ferrari F430 as I got into my 2002 torch red corvette. We turned on the radio, and one of our favorite song came on. We drove one behind the other and started singing. The song was Baby Got Back.
Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt.
It is so big. *scoff* She looks like,
one of those rap guys' girlfriends.
But, you know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*
They only talk to her, because,
she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?
I mean, her butt, is just so big.
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
She's just so ... black!
Audrey joined in after I said the spoken part.
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupie
I've seen them dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!
(LA face with Oakland booty)
Baby got back!
[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like 'em round, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sisters, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*
Till the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!
Baby got back!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3".
[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that "hard" role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines:
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sister, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!
(Little in the middle but she got much back) [4x]
We had vampire hearing, so we heard each other the whole time, even with the sounds of cars we were passing. She's always a little shy about singing, but she always joins in with me. I"ve always been the more musical one, like my dad. And she was more artsy, like my mom. I looked and acted like my dad, and she mom. There were things different but mostly that's what it was like. We cracked up laughing at the hilarious song.
We sang the whole way to Forks, blasting the msic loudly. Once we got to Forks, we decided to turn it down a notch. Forks was a quieter place. We pulled up to our new house that we'd previously purchased. It was a large light-beige colored house with a long white staircase leading up to the brown wood front doors. The house was trimmed with white, along with the dark brown doors. (picture on profile).
We parked our cars in the spacious garage, and went inside to check out the house and choose our bedrooms. The house was a modern-themed house. The staircases were large and flashy, as were the chandeliers and built-in furniture (such as the kitchen), and the rooms were wide, spacious and elegant.
There was more than one master bedroom, each containing two rooms-one for the sleeping area, another for a small living room, and a two other connecting areas for the walk-in closets and the bathrooms. I went to my bedroom, a spacious room with cream walls and navy furniture, and hot pink and navy sheets and fabrics, along with a cream colored carpet. I went into Audrey's room, which was navy with ivory tiled floors with a navy rug equal to the shape of the room. It matched her furniture, of course, which was white along with navy fabrics and touches of baby pink fabrics for curtains, chairs, etc. It was very similar to mine in coloring (we tended to have the same taste), but also different with the furniture styles and shading. All of her many clothes were splattered out along the bed, as mine were in my room, as she was carefully organizing them and placing them in her large closet.
"Hey! So what do you say we go out tonight? Like a celebration for moving in!" Audrey questioned, her blue-rimmed eyes filled with excitement.
"Sure! That'll be fun. We can get a chance to look at the town more," I answered, feeling excited myself. It would be fun to ge to see the area and celebrate our move.
"Okay, so we'll leave around seven, when the movers have the stuff inside," She answered, already planning, as I began to walk out of the door.
"I saw this club they had that was pretty close to here, more in the city. It's a good thing we found a place between the town and the city-that way we can go both ways. I gotta go get ready, see ya in a few, okay?"
"Alright," She said, already picking out an outfit.
I left to go to my own room, and I fumbled to find the perfect outfit for the evening. I put together a purple an beige swirled dress with an open back and a low neckline paired with four-in black heels, then went downstairs to meet Audrey. She was dressed in a black, purple, and cream patterned short dress with a round neckline and thick halter straps. Her shoes were white strappy three-inch heels.
Our cars were all really flashy, but we took my BMW, which had gotten shipped sometime during the day, and drove to the club. The BMW was probably the least flashy of our cars. Forks wasn't a stand-out, flashy place, so we needed to be less noticable, especially with what we looked like. Audrey could change our appearance, of course, but we chose to only do so when absolutely necessary.
As we drove down the road to the club, we chattered excitedly on our stay here, and how it would be like. Forks wasn't necessarily the best place, but we wanted a change from the LA life. We loved LA, but like I said- change. Plus, Forks was very different. Since we werent like other vampire, and didnt sparkle in the sun, we tended to live in very sunny places. Forks wasn't like that-it was really rainy and cloudy, which was totally different from our usual, so we decided to give it a try. We didn't predict much excitement from Forks, mostly just a nice place to rest and slow it down.
While we were discussing our new school, Forks Highschool, which we would be attending as juniors, we caught a scent and a glimpse of something off into the woods aside from the road.
It was the smell of vampires. Not half vampires like us, but real vampires off in the trees. We sniffed the air to get more details. There was two girls holding hands, running along the woods, hunting. One had long, wavy blond hair down her back and was strikingly beautiful. The other was a brunette with a kind face. They seemed to have smelt us, too, for they stopped in their tracks and stared at us for a few seconds as we drove by, their eyes filled with surprise, speculation, confusion, and wonder.
There were other vampires in the small town of Forks.
We pulled up to the club. It was called Eclipse and seemed really cool. There was a long line out of the entrence, so it seemed really popular. Of course there was always the other, much smaller line of people who tried to get in quicker with their looks. Audrey and I always did because, well, we're vampires. And, not meaning to brag, but vampires were blessed with inhuman beauty-good enough to stop someone in their tracks and take a double take....maybe even a tripple.
We walked up to the smaller line, and as suspected, the bouncer looked at us twice, shocked. He fumbled with the rope and let us in quickly.
"Aren't we the lucky ones?" Audrey joked.
"Of course we are! In a sense," I laughed back.
We laughed as we walked into the club towards the dance floor. We started dancing, every once in a while guys would come up and dance with us. It was fun-a great way to start the new adventure. All of a sudden, I got a whif of more vampires.
"More?!" I thought out loud. I looked over at Audrey dancing wildly with her hands in the air. She heard me, of course, and stopped in her tracks to look at me. She sniffed too and confusion hit her eyes.
"Well...maybe they're the same ones we saw before," she guessed.
The scent wasn't fresh, but I guess we just never noticed it before. I couldn't remember as clearly, but the scent seemed kind of different from the scents we smelled before from the other vampires. We carefully followed the scent around the club, up the stairs and into a sitting room above the dance floor, overlooking the bottom floor of the club. Audrey touched my arm and darted her head over to a couple in the corner making out against the wall. It was a little tiny girl, up against the wall with a tall blonde guy in front of her.
"Maybe we should come back later to talk with them..." I guessed, kind of embarassed for looking.
"Yeah..." Audrey said, laughing a little. "It doesn't really matter anyways. Forks may be small, but its not like there's not enough room for us all."
"Yup," I said, and we walked back downstairs.
"I kind of want a drink right now," Audrey said, lingering towards the large bar. I could have liquids without totally gagging. They weren't as bad, and filled up a small space of my stomach, so I wouldn't be as hungry. Of course I preffered animal blood, as did Audrey, but it's always good to have something else.
As we walked by, we felt the stares of more men staring at us hungrily. We playfully exchanged glances and smiled at the guys flirtatiously, then made our way over to the bar.
"Sex on the Beach," Audrey stated.
"Nice," I said to her and she laughed. "I'll have a martini with vodka, straight up ice cold with three olives."
We got a small round high table near the bar, sat down, and began drinking our drinks. Then, I got a whif of the same smell of the other vampires again-this time, close.
"Hi," A high soprano voice resembling ours said cheerfully. We looked up into the golden eyes of the small pixie-like girl again, standing next to her boyfriend who looked partly uncomfortable and pained. When I looked up into the girl's eyes, I saw a mix of things. Intrigue, and wonder.
"Hi," Audrey said back, and motioned for them to sit down in the other two chairs at our table.
"Um, where to begin," the girl said, twirling her straw in the drink she'd ordered, obviously just a prop. "I'm Alice Cullen"
"Jasper Cullen," the blonde boy said.
"I'm Jennifer," I said. "This is Audrey." I pointed at Audrey, who smiled in hello.
"So...," Audrey started, her voice low, "obviously your like us-and vegetarian, I'm guessing?" She looked into their golden eyes, and I did the same.
"Yes," Jasper said, Alice nodding. "But you're...different?" They eyed the drinks we took a sip of.
"Yeah," I said. "We're actually half vampires. Our father was a vampire while our mother was not. My mother died giving birth to us, and our father stayed with us for a while to take care of us, then went to the Volturi after when he couldn't stand living without my mom, and knew that we could take care of ourselves. I guess he just couldn't live without her..." The story was emotional and I wished atleast our father was still alive to be here with us. But, the fact that he loved our mother so much that he couldn't live without her was amazing to me. Neither of us has experienced that kind of love before.
"The only things that seperate us from regular vampires are that our eyes have some blue in them from when we were born, Jennifer sleeps and drinks liquids, and I'm able to eat and drink, although we do prefer animal blood. As half vampires, we were born but grew fast to a certain point. We stopped aging at seventeen, though," Audrey explained further.
"Hmm...that's certainly interesting," Alice laughed. "Well, it's nice to know there's more of us our age and stuff around. I'm seventeen also, so are three of my sibling in my family. Jasper's eighteen along with two others. Then there's Carlisle and Esme, our adoptive parents in our coven."
"Wow, big family..." I mused.
"Ha. Deffinately," Alice said, and giggled. "I really hope we'll get to know you guys better, now that you're in town. You're attending high school right?"
"Totally! That'll be awesome, to know more people like us and stuff, you know? It's so hard dealing with high schools," Audrey said, brushing a perfect ringlet behing her back.
"God, I know, right? You guys totally have to meet my family, too." Alice smiled.
"Shopping for us, too," I said excitedly. Alice was really cool-definately someone who Audrey and I could be friends with.
"Uh, duh!" Alice said excitedly, and I saw Jasper roll his eyes jokingly. She gave him a playful punch, giggling.
"So who's the mates in you coven? Or is it just you too," Audrey said, smiling a little. We haven't had many serious relationships or anything. There's always the few small boyfriends-some human, some vampire- but none that ever stuck.
"Well, theres Carlisle and Esme and Bella and Rose." Alice said, another weird look on her face.
"Oh so they're...?" I started
"Yeah," Jasper said, speaking for the first time. "They used to be with other members in our coven, but I guess they changed their minds about who they wanted to be with." He didn't seem fased by the situation, but understanding-which was very sweet.
"Well that's nice," Audrey said. "Do you guys have any abilities?" It was always really cool to see what kinds of abilities other vampires had.
"I can read emotions," Jasper said, "and Alice is phsycic." Hmm...well, that's certainly intersting. I've never met vampires who could do that before. She wouldn't have been able to see us, though, because of my shield.
"What about you guys?" Alice asked conversationally, turning the attention away from themselves.
"I have the ability to conjure objects out of the air. I can also change appearances, but I only do it when necessary," Audrey explained. She swept her hand casually among herself, indicating that the way she was was how she usually did look.
"And I have a physical and mental shield. I can block my mind and others around me. I'm also really flexible, too."
"Those are awesome abilities!" Alice said, excited. "Well, we better get going. We don't want our family worrying, not that they would, but still." Alice said smiling.
"Yeah, we should get back to get everything in its place at the house," Audrey responded. She went over and hugged Alice. "So we'll see you in school tomorrow?"
"Totally!" Alice said, now coming over to hug me. "And I'm definitely taking you guys up on our shopping trip!"
"Hell ya!" I said laughing. "Seeya later Jasper."
"Bye Jasper, nice meetin ya!" Audrey said, each of us giving him a small peck on the cheek. We waved as we left the club and out into the BMW.
"That's awesome that theres more vampires here!" Audrey said happily. "We finally know people like us ina permanent place!"
"I know," I laughed. "That'll make it so much easier-and I can't wait to meet their family!
"Same." Audrey said, and turned on the radio.
It was so good to know more vampires our age. They could relate to us more and we were so excited to learn more about them. There were eight of them, I think. That's probably the largest coven we've ever come across, which is a good thing. Now, I was actually excited for school tomorrow.
