Edward's Twilight

Even though I've had since 1918 to get used to the kaleidoscope of minds around me,

even now the thoughts of everyone within few miles radius still overwhelm me.

As I sit down at the only empty table in the cafeteria with my brothers and sisters,

I try to block all the thoughts and try to make a conversation with Emmett.

"So when do you think we can go play baseball again?" he asked.

I shrugged, and Alice took the chance to take a look into the future.

"It seems a bit unclear, but sometime this year" she mused with her eyes closed.

Rosalie sighed. "Well of course sometime this year. This is Forks, is it not?"

And as if to agree with her, it started to rain outside.

We live in Forks Washington, me, my sisters Alice and Rosalie and my brothers, Jasper and Emmett.

And also Carlisle and Esme, our parents.

Forks is one of the stormiest towns in the USA.

That's why we live here. If we lived in any other place, like Florida for instance,

we would always be in the mercy of the sun.

And we would… um… glow. A lot.

Yeah. We are vampires.

Don't be afraid, though you do have perfectly good reason to be.

I'm not evil.

Well, I don't try to be.

Carlisle (my father) discovered that we don't need to drink human blood.

Animal blood is a pretty good subsitute.
