The Trip

It's always easier said than done. That was the saying that keep repeating itself again and again in my head when I was packing my things. You would think it was easy to pack your things, go to the airport and go to America, but when you have 6 others with you things will be complicated.

I'm not complaining. I love my friends, sometimes I just wish that they would be more grown up like me.

We lived in Italy. I moved here with my friends to live with my uncle, our parents didn't like the idea first but when they heard that my uncle had more than enough room for us, we could move in there. It was pretty tricky but our parent's knew of our weird friendship, we were always together and if someone were sick we would all be sick in a couple of days. We really couldn't leave each others much or it would get boring and most holidays I spent with my parents in Spain, was spend with me sleeping.

I have lived in Italy for 7 years now. I was ten when we moved here and now we were packing to go America to a road trip, and most of all to find vampires. I know how can 17-year-old girl believe in vampires. Well let's just say I have read more vampire legends with Wanda and Hilary than should be possible. We all believed that there were vampires and other mythological beings on earth. My other friends didn't, they thought we were crazy and only promised to come to this trip so that they could shop. But I knew that they too believed in them maybe not as much as me, Hilary and Wanda but still enough to show through them.

What can I tell you about myself. My name is Melissa, Mel for short I have waist length deep reddish brown hair, blueish green eyes, ivory skin, I'm 5'4 feet tall and I have six crazy friends that I call my sisters. I'm sarcastic, crazy, two minded, smart and reasonable girl.

Hilary one of my friend has ocean blue eyes, mid length blond hair, ivory skin and is 5'4 feet tall too. She's funny, smart and she has an obsession with mythological creatures with me. Hilary's twin Wanda has deep blue eyes, waist length blond hair, ivory skin and is 5'5 feet tall. She is witty and she too has an obsession with mythological creatures. They both are 16-year-old.

Then there's Susan with brownish blond hair, grayish blue eyes, ivory skin and is 5'6 feet tall. She will give you shit if you hurt her friends. She's the protector of us. She too is funny with the smart ass comment's and she thinks before she act's. She is 16 too.

Samantha my other friend has short red hair, striking blue eyes, ivory skin and is 5'5 feet tall. She's smart, little bit sarcastic person and lovable. And if you have problems she is always there to listen. She is 17 like me.

Then there's Summer with middle length brownish red hair, olive green eyes, ivory skin and she is 5'3 tall. She's funny, sarcastic and great friend. She is 18 the oldest of us.

Jennifer has waist length black hair, blue eyes, ivory skin and is 5'4 tall. She is sarcastic, two minded, funny girl who always finds something funny in every situation. She's 17.

We all have been good friends since forever and I wouldn't trade them for anything. And you probably noticed that we all have ivory skin it's freakish I know, but I think that just brings us closer nobody of us can't be in the sun too long.

I had packed my things and were putting them next to the front door. I could see that nobody else had come downstairs yet so I yelled, "Can't you just pack the things and come down stairs now! You guys don't need much stuff either way, we can shop there for new clothes!" The trip should last only two weeks then we would come back here and spend the rest of the summer together doing things.

"Sorry, I was caught deciding what to wear." Samantha said when she came down stairs, "So what's for breakfast?"

"Maybe pancakes, then we have to go the airport, so the others better hurry up and pack." I laughed and went to the kitchen to cook for us. I was the only one who could do food fast and still make it good.

My uncle had already left for work and said that we should have good time in our vacation and call when we are there. Everybody came down stairs one by one leaving their suitcases next to the front door. "Did you do blueberry pancakes?" Jennifer asked when she came to the kitchen. She was the last one always, she wanted to have everything with her just in case she would need it.

"Yes, and eat fast we have to be going soon if we want to catch the plane!" I replied. I put the pancakes to the table and everybody started to eat.

"Do you think that we will see vampires in America?" Hilary asked hopefully.

"We better see, I have waited for it at least hundred years already!" Wanda grinned.

"You really think there are vampires? I have said it hundreds of times they are just legends!" Susan said. She was the one who had least faith in mythological beings. I think she wouldn't believe in them even if she saw them, she was too damn stubborn.

"I respect you opinion but I still believe vampires and other mythological beings are real. And we are still going to go look for them even if they weren't real." I smiled. It was true sometimes even I had doubts believing in them. "And at least we can shop as much as we like there."

"So where are we going first?" Samantha asked, eating her pancakes fast. She was vegetarian, she didn't eat meat at all. I found it challenging to do vegetarian food but it was worth it.

"I hope we can visit Las Vegas at least." Jennifer piped in.

"Well, if everything goes like planned we should be visiting Las Vegas on the second week. And we're going to go Seattle first. Then we will be going to Forks, Washington the rainiest city." Hilary said.

"There we should find werewolf's and vampires if the Quilete legends are true. I'm so excited for going there!" Wanda finished for us.

"Should we go now, the plane is leaving in two hours!" Summer said and rose from the table.

"Yes!" We all screamed and laughed. We were all excited to go there. Me, Wanda and Hilary most, we wanted to see some mythological creatures!

We put the dishes to the sink and went to leave. The trip to the airport wasn't long and the flying went fast too. We stopped in New York to catch a plane to Seattle. There we would buy a car and drive to Forks, after that we would mostly do shopping and sight seeing.

On the trip I were contemplating with Hilary and Wanda how we would recognize if we would meet vampires or werewolf's. We did have lot of things that said if someone were vampire and we got them from different legends. And I have to say every legend is different you couldn't really say what were true and what wasn't. Some say that vampires die in the sun, some say they sparkle and some say they are invisible in the sun. So how would we really know what we were looking?

But I didn't care. I always thought that if I would ever meet a vampire or any other mythological creature I would know what it was, somewhere in my body at least...
