This was a new beginning for both my younger sister and I. We needed to lay low for a while so why not in a small town with the name of a utensil… I couldn't believe how lucky we got to discover this place. We quickly packed and moved here to Forks, Washington. My baby sister never questioned me or why we suddenly moved from place to place. I knew that she knew that I was different too different if you ask me. I was always hot and cold towards Jamie because I knew that one day I wouldn't be able to run not anymore. It was only a matter of time before I got caught or worse captured. I didn't need to drag my Jamie into this. Unfortunately our parents died that's what Jamie was led to believe. I knew the true story.

The hunters killed them in search of me. My parents didn't give them what they wanted: me and… they were killed. That was four years ago when I was only fourteen years of age and Jamie was twelve. We were orphans and I knew the state would intervene and separate us; put us in foster homes until we were 'adopted'. I did what any older sister would do I took Jamie.

I still remember that day I contemplated for hours what to do. If I took her with me she would be in constant danger and if she ever got killed I wouldn't forgive myself but…. If I left her behind she might get placed with monsters people who called themselves good people and did monstrous horrendous things. That's when I came to a decision I'd take Jamie, I'd protect her, I'd kill for her, die for her, and I'd even let her go.

"Ren! Are you listening to me?" Jamie said bringing me out of reverie.

I would be cold towards my own sister for her own good. If it came down to it I'd tell her I'd hate her if that made he safe. I knew and felt that that day would soon come and I had to be ready to protect, kill, and possibly let go of the only blood relative I have left and love wholly my Jamie my baby sister.

"Ren!" she screamed again with a frustrated look on her face.

"huh?" I asked

"Exactly you never listen to me… I'm your baby sister you know… and… and… you never pay attention… to me." She sniffed and all too her green eyes filled quickly with crystal like tears that rolled down her cheeks. I stood and embraced her, "there there." I said patting her back. There there my little one I thought to myself I'll protect you- always if it's the last thing I do.

"So you'll listen to me now?" She asked looking up at me with hope filling her green eyes, her pink plump lips tugging up at the corner, her long light brown wavy hair framing her creamy complexion making her look fairy-like and innocent.

"Hmmm….Maybe." Her eyes filled with more tears that were threatening to fall and she pouted up at me.

"Now, now Jamie. Don't cry."

"You never listen to me." She whispered and sniffed

"I do, I'm listening now aren't I?" I questioned

"But Serenity-"

"Serenity nothing. Come on we have to get to school." She groaned and sighed heavily

"okay…." She dragged out the word as she went up the stairs.

"Ren?" She asked turning to face me from up the stairs.

"Hmmm?"

"You already know what I was going to tell you right?"

I hesitated but there was no use to hide it from her. I nodded.

"Ren you know everything, right? You've… always known. I like talking to you and for you to listen. You know that right?" She asked her eyes fiercely looking and me and I could feel the intensity of her eyes on my face waiting for an answer.

I turned to look at her and I saw myself reflected in her green eyes. I saw my slender finger, pale skin, long dark black hair to my waist, gray eyes, and my guarded expression. My eyes- gray eyes that held the truth and knowledge of mostly everything- of all the unknown. Yet there were some things that I didn't know and had no recognition of. Many never even took a second glance at me and for that I was grateful but people like my sister could see, truly see that these eyes held great things, scary things, and things that seemed surreal.

I nodded to her and she walked to her room. I didn't know how to answer her question. Some things I didn't know how they would play out. I guessed that maybe she could talk to them. Yet I detested not knowing I hated things that were beyond my knowledge and eyesight.

I sighed it was going to be a long day.

"Jamie! C'mon it's almost eight. We're going to be late!"

"I' m coming." She replied from her room. I could hear her throwing clothes everywhere. I hated waiting- I was impatient for simple things and extremely patient for hard task things. I was definitely a backwards kind of girl. I stood up from the stool, slung my bag over my shoulder, and walked out towards my car. It wasn't like Jamie wasn't beautiful or anything but she always insisted on raiding her closet leaving everything on the floor. She tried every outfit possible until she looked like a faerie with her creamy skin, green eyes, and her plump lips.

I looked back at our green house that I hadbought with my college savings. So much for that anyways. I kicked the wall and got in the car. She wsa going to walk to school I was done waiting. Seconds later she climbed in looking stunning.

"You weren't going to leave without me were you? Don't answer that. Let's go." She said while she put he seatbelt. "Gladly." I stated and placed my foot on the accelerator.

We were exactly five seconds early before the bell rang. That's when I felt that feeling inside my head and my eyes became more sharp and focused. Vampires I thought and sighed sitting down on the farthest desk at the back of the class room. "Welcome Mrs. Gray." Mr. Raymond stated scrutinizing me with his brown eyes. "It's Serenity." I stated.

"yes, yes Serenity. Now can I start class?" He asked gazing at me.

"gladly I'm not stopping you go on- proceed." I said motioning with my hand and laying back on my seat. He turned an unnatural shade of red and I heard chuckling from the desk besides me vampires I thought again.

Class went by and I was bored and uneasy. Bored simply because I knew all of this nonsense about calculus and English and its science formulas I sighed exasperated. Uneasy because Jamie was going to talk to those monsters. Althogh they were different because they drank animal blood but they were still dead creatures that walked the earth feeding on others in order to live like parasites.

"Ren!" I heard Jamie as she flung herself on me and smiled her eyes twinkling. "I want you to meet Edward he's in my biology class. Edward this is my sister Ren." His eyes looked over my face as if searching for something. "hey." I said then so low that my Jamie wouldn't hear I said, "Stay away from my sister." I looked at him with my best murderous look and walked away dragging Jamie with me.

"Ren…" She said.

"No."

"Why?" she asked

"He's- He's…." What could I say without sounding crazy and without them knowing that I know what they are.

"He's dangerous Jamie. Remember what you asked this morning well I know about this situation. Stay away from him."

"But Ren-" She said but I cut her off

"Fine. IF you want to get yourself killed then go ahead and talk to him why don't you. I'm done trying to protect you and you don't listen. Do as you like. We. Are. Through." I said looking at her making my eyes look hard and angry. She looked as if I just slapped her.

"Ren…" She whispered her eyes filling with tears.

"I'm done warning you and protecting you Jamie. Do whatever you want to do." With that I walked away from her and to my next class. It was for her good. It was good for her to hate me. She'd live and be safe without me at her side now I just had to get her to leave and I could then rest and maybe rid myself- rid this earth of my existence.

You can't die. You know that people like us can't die Serenity.

I stood there frozen at the voice that I heard in my head.
