(・ε・)ノ おっー！Hi! My sister is currently Twilight crazy and it rubbed off onto me(though I was the one to introduce Twilight to her). I am no crazed Twilight fan (though I have been following it for 5 years), I was just influenced by my sister and ImDaMnShOrTaNdPrOuD (her fanfics are awesome). This fanfic is something that formed because of that influence. Enjoy. And… T(^-^)H(-^ )A(^ )N( ^)K( ^-)S(^-^)~

１か : The Curse (*･.･)ﾉ' .｡･:*:･ﾟ' ｶｰｽﾟ (((-_＼)三(／_-)))

I think it's a curse. My mother on the other hand thought it's freakin' awesome. My name is Earl Sanders. Yes, my name is Earl and I'm a girl. Ew, that rhymed. Why am I named Earl? Because the name Earla sounded lame and my mother thought it would be cool to give me a boy's name. Now, I'm mistaken as a super skilled transvestite wherever I go. Thank you, mother in heaven.

I awake to the familiar noise of guns and bombs going off on this fine Saturday at five in the morning. My little brother Sakura, another name mishap due to my mother, has been up playing Call of Duty all night. Does that boy ever sleep? I grabbed my pillow, got off my bed and made my way towards Sakura's room. I carelessly threw my pillow at his general direction and yelled, "Oi! Just because you don't ever sleep doesn't mean that you can keep everybody else awake!" I then froze to realize that I threw the pillow at Collin? And I realized that Brady and Seth were here too. What are they doing here? When did they get so tall and…muscular?

"Sorry! We'll turn down the volume." Seth said while apologizing and Collin was staring at me while Brady was elbowing him. I turned to glare at my brother.

"Oh, so now you're depriving our neighbors from sleep?" I continued to glare daggers at him.

"So what of it?" he scoffed. I sighed and shook my head. There is no use in yelling and my brother, because then there would be World War Ⅴ. If you're wondering about Ⅲ and Ⅳ, they already happened.

"Whatever. Come downstairs if you ever want to eat breakfast." I said as I left his room as the boys started shouting orders. As soon as I reached downstairs I hear the boys screaming and laughing. Boys will be boys. Recently my brother had started to hang out with Sam Uley and his groupies. He started sneaking out at night, has a big attitude, and it seems like he's hiding something from me. It makes me worry. We used be so close. He would never hide anything from me. I had thought we had complete trust in each other. Another thing that makes me sad is that he hogs the PS3 and is depriving me of my Final Fantasy time.

I go into the kitchen and look around seeing what we have left that I can use to make breakfast. I found eggs, onions, green chili peppers, bread, saffron powder, and ketchup. Looks like I'll be making scrambled eggs with toast. I had just begun to crack the eggs when I heard a loud howl. The howl was so loud and sudden that it made me jump and drop the egg. The thought that there must have been a wolf nearby scared me. I'd been hearing a lot of freaky thing about the wolves; an example would be that they're freakishly huge and attack hikers. I bent down to clean up the mess from the egg and when I got up I saw my brother and his friends running into the forest. I was upset and relieved. They jumped out of a second floor window and are running into the forest after a wolf howls, and their sudden departure saves me from labor. As I saw them disappear into the forest, I realized that the PS3 was free. I sprinted to my brother's room.

Sakura(桜-cherry blossom)~ a super popular girl's name. It's never a boy's name. However, I met a boy(Host-brother) with this name and it inspired me. Okay, not really. I just thought it was funny.

Earl's Mother~ is very unique…She is actually my character from one of my friend's stories. I just love her and decided to use her.

I have questions…Is Collin another character without a surname? And should I continue?
