Prologue
I am Edward, a vampire -- a corpse, they say, that leave the grave at night, to drink blood the of the living by biting their necks with long pointed canine teeth.
They only got the first part right about me - corpse. My ma would correct me that we are not.
But I am.
All these years, all these time, all my afterlife I live and feel like a corpse.
They hailed us as the lion of all the predators for the speed and strength we possess, but inside I was like a sheep who had no control over whats to happened.
And decades, centuries pass by.
Timeless with a beginning at the age of 17 but with no ending.
Eternity passes by.
Chapter 1
"Hey, HEY." The bell rings. Classmates are leaving. Someone yelled my name to point out that we are free to go now. I pushed my chair, stood up and walk towards the door, didn't bother to see who it was that called my name.
As I stepped outside the classroom I hear them saying how absolutely, unacceptably rude i was, someone said she hated guys who walks around acting like the hottest thing, and almost immediately she thought in her head my butt looked good. I felt like killing her and it isn't even for the blood.
I am not popular around here, on the surface.
I know I walk the place with dark clouds around, as if anything could trigger a thunder storm. I don't know why I am here. I don't know where I could go.
Everywhere is the same. I could go anyway in the world but everywhere is the same.
I am going to live forever.
Life is dead because if it.
But not for Alice. My sister who make legend come true as she lives happily ever after. I envy her. She knows i envy her. I know she knows I envy her.
We fight because we know too much about each other. She see nothing in my future, it's always dark blue. She never told me but I over heard when she was telling mum, crying: " I couldn't see Edward's future, its all dark blue I couldn't see him anywhere ma..." She said in between sobs "Edward just stood there and I don't see anything else...."
I cried that night. Partly for Alice, her love for me. Partly for what she sees was so true it made me very, very sad. I just stood there in my future surrounded by dark blues.
I sit there in my next class. I wasn't listening but I know what the teacher is talking about. I know everything about how the human body works, not just because it used to be my food, but I have been to similar classes, read similar books in different languages in many different countries. All of the subjects they have here, all of it, I could teach it.
Nothing is new under this sun.
"hey, hey dude wake up." another one laughed as he walk pass me. The bell rang, the class is emptying. I sat there waiting till it became quiet.
This is my story -- at the end, I am the only one left sitting, but soon people will fill the spaces and the same story shall continue to repeat again.
What do you think!?
