Screw Edward

Chapter 1

The first he noticed about her was her eyes. They were dull brown and zombie-like. Dmitri didn't really like to study humans. In fact, he wanted to stay away from them all together. But his uncle, Armidon, forced him into high school for one year every four years. They moved from town to town, taking different names, always careful to cover their tracks. Dmitri was always enrolled for senior year, sometime junior year, in high school, and he even got the opportunity to go to college a few times. He would physically be 18 forever. Dmitri didn't care. He just wanted to find a way to either get out of life, or to make use of it. So far, 60 years hadn't done him any good.

Dmitri wasn't particularly handsome. Well, not by vampire standards. He had short light brown and burgundy eyes, with a somewhat pale complexion. He was tall and lean, and often walked with his shoulders slouched forward, back hunched a little, like a vulture searching for prey. He always wore a long brown overcoat and square-frame sunglasses. He never attempted to make friends. Nobody attempted to approach him. Everything was in perfect balance.

In all of his horribly wasted years at high school, Dmitri had never seen a girl like Bella Swan. He had been in her class for two months now, and he always saw that stupid blank look on her face. She looked positively empty. Dmitri sensed something about her was peculiar, but he took no notice. That is, until one class in November when he noticed her staring straight at him. Every time he glanced at her, her eyes were boring into his face. Dmitri grew agitated. Why do some humans have to have such huge eyes?

Dmitri had always thought of Bella as a space cadet, but today, he saw something behind her stare. She seemed to be interested in him. Dmitri didn't like that, for whenever a human tried to connect with him, his bloodlust would only heighten. Luckily, he would always satisfy this bloodlust with one of the thousands of blood bags back home.

The bell rang. Class was over. Dmitri put his notes back into his backpack and was just about to get up, when he saw the girl out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, she started to walk towards him. Dmitri felt his mouth water and his fangs detract from his jaws. She reached out her hand and lightly touched his hand.

He recoiled his hand at once. He bit down hard, trying to keep his fangs from fully growing out. He glared up at space cadet with the large dull brown eyes and hissed.

"What the hell was that for?"

She leaned down and whispered softly into his ear.

"Do you know the Cullens?"

He got up quickly and snatched his backpack.

"Who the fuck are the Cullens? At least warn me before you try to talk to me."

He stormed out of the room. He clenched his jaw as he stalked out of the building and into his Chevy. He angrily drove out of the parking lot and down the road, going at 65 miles per hour. He opened the drawer compartment and got out a little tube filled with blood. It was one of his "emergency packs" as Armidon called. He sucked every drop out of the tube and tossed it back into the compartment.

Who the hell is that girl? He thought. What the hell does she want with me?
