Chapter 1 - The morning.

Ashley Alyssa Glass P.O.V

I was in my room blasting my music at 9am. It wasn't my fault I was up so early, my mum Eve is making me go to college! She says I have to be more like my older brother Sam and become more independent and successful. To be honest, I don't understand why they are so worried about my future; I want to be a musician like my vampire dad.

Yes I know what you're thinking, your dads a vamp how can he be your real dad then? The answer is: I don't know. My aunt Claire is really brainy and she came up with this type of potion stuff that lets vamps have kids. I haven't seen my aunt Claire, Uncle Shane or their two kids Tyler and Todd for 13 years! Not since I was 3, I'm now 16. I'm guessing Tyler would be 17 by now and Todd would be 15. Claire and Shane left Morganville to raise their children without the vamps, leaving me, my annoying 18 year old brother Sam, my mum and my dad behind.

I didn't mind really, it's not like I remember them all that well and at least they send loads of gifts and photo's. 'Ashley Alyssa Glass! Turn that music down right now!' my mum yelled from the bathroom. I ran to my skull CD player my mum had given me for my birthday and turned it down, slightly. 'Happy now?' I said curling my blonde hair. My mum used to be a Goth 10 years ago but she has grown out of it now. She has given me some of her old stuff, like the CD player, that I wouldn't mind having. I wasn't Goth but I liked the occasional skull here and there. I was a totally gorgeous and very curvy 16 year old girl. All the boys stare at me in lust and all the girls stare at me in envy. I didn't take any notice of them though, I wasn't a popular girl, I was more a keep to myself type of person. I look through my wardrobe and found out a cute top and short shorts. I liked wearing shorts because I had really long model legs that I loved to show off. 'Ash you know what I mean when I say turn it down. Plus, you have school in 20 minutes, go and ask Sam if he'll give you a ride to school.' I moaned and went to turn the music off and go find Sam. Sam looked like my dad but with brown hair, he was named after my grandad who was killed saving Morganville -well that's what we've been told. I headed down into the living room knowing he would be in the kitchen. I sat on the couch and yelled 'Yo, loser, you giving me a ride or what?'

'You know, calling me loser doesn't really make me wanna.' He said coming to sit next to me.

'Plus, I don't think dad will let you go to school dressed like that.' He frowned at my outfit.

'Dude, you giving me a ride or what?'

'Fine. Come on, I was just about to leave.' I ran to get my backpack from the kitchen and went to catch up with him in the car. 'So have you heard the news?' he said as I was buckling up my seat belt. 'What news?'

'I'll take that as a no then. Anyway, Aunt Claire and Uncle Shane and all that are coming to visit soon.'

'Seriously?' I hadn't seen them in so long, what if they didn't like me or thought I was a slut, I am defiantly not a slut, and I was still a virgin.

'Don't worry, they will love you.' Sam said.

When we got to school I hurried off to my lessons. I was incredibly smart thanks to my aunt Claire who was always sending over books for me to read. I didn't have any friends or a boyfriend so I walked to lessons on my own. I didn't like many of the people in Morganville, mainly because if I had a lot of friends I wouldn't be able to sneak into night clubs without people knowing. Yes I did say sneak into night clubs, I did it almost every night, it was fun to get away from all the drama around town and just be free. The only problem was, I wasn't old enough, and I was 16, five years under the legal age. I didn't have any fake ID's or anything but when I want to, I can look 21.

All my lessons past like a blur, mainly because I was so nervous but excited to be seeing everyone again after all these years. I got home and went straight up into my room to change. I put on a new top, this time it was a guns and roses tee. I also put in my bell bar as I had a piercing in my belly. I also had a tongue piercing which I put in and then headed out the door for the club.
