Chapter One
Caleb stared out the foggy window, his eyes taking in every detail that could possible be made out through the thick mist. His fingers tapped lightly against the plexiglass in a random beat he had formed in his thoughtful mind.
Trees and moss lined the outer world, colors of brown and dark green mixing together. Weeds and shrubs sprang randomly around the ground, and trees that reached as the sky with barely any green accompanied on their branches. The sky was a concoction of greys and blacks twisting together to block out any of the suns rays.
Caleb had been observing the landscape past by him for many hours. That was all Caleb could do—watch. It was how he learned, since he blocked out all sound from his ears.
Caleb didn't mind not being deaf—he actually embraced it. He had learned that no one needed to hear to learn, and really, hearing was much to painful for him. He was perfectly fine the way he was.
Caleb flexed his neck, looking at their chauffeur and good friend, Adrian. He was a slim black man in a neat black suit, his dread-locks tied behind his head. Adrian's hands were wrapped loosely around the wheel, and his shoulders told that he was relaxed. Caleb could see that music was playing from the way Adrian tapped his finger on the leather, and the music bar was up on the car screen.
Caleb glanced at his brother, who's head perched on the seatbelt that strapped him in, and his mouth was open, indicating he was breathing deeply which said he was sleeping.
Caleb looked back to Adrian. He snapped his fingers, which earned him the immediate attention of deep brown eyes through the rearview mirror.
'How long?,' Caleb asked through hand signals.
Adrian placed his elbows on the wheel to steer the car as he replied. 'Not long.' .
Caleb rolled his eyes. 'That's what you said two hours ago.'
Adrian raised a challenging eyebrow, smirking from ear to ear. 'Now we're counting?'
Caleb scoffed, shaking his head. He returned his gaze back to the window, a Adrian did the road.
A few moments later, Ace, Caleb's brother, began to wake.
Ace was the only person that could break through Caleb's wall, so Ace heard the groan that emitted from his mouth.
Caleb glanced at Adrian, who seemed not to notice. Caleb kicked Adrian's seat, which immediately caught the attention. On cue, a black tinted window began to scroll up, dividing the brothers from him.
"Hey," Ace murmured, reaching out for Caleb. His hand placed on his cheek perfectly, and his thumb began to rub it.
"Hi." Caleb grabbed Ace's wrist lightly and took his hand away from his cheek. He kissed the upside of Ace's hand, greeting the boy with a promise of protection as he always did.
A kiss on Ace's hand was always a protection devotion, and he gave it to his younger brother everyday. A repent, you could say.
"We'll be there soon," Caleb whispered.
Ace's eyes still remained shut, and Caleb didn't think they would open anytime soon.
Ace did not pull away from Caleb's soft grip, rather kept holding his brother's hand.
"I'm still tired," Ace said. "But i think it's more of i don't have any nutrience in my body."
"What do you want?," Caleb asked, worry sewed into his tone. "I'll make it immediately when we get to our new house."
'Brother, your so annoying when you care about me. But i don't know what i would do without you care. It seems I've become addicted to it."
"Ace your silly. I'm just being a....guardian for you."
"Brother, shut up."
The two laughed softly.
Ace rested his head on the seat belt again, and he fell asleep, holding his brothers's hand.
I slowly got out the car, examining the house and yard as i went over to take Alex out. The driveway was slightly narrow and it was extremely steep–meaning that our house was on a hill, kind of. The grass was mostly green, except for the patches of gold and brown. Dead plants were placed around the perimeter of the house—the owner must've gotten plants that weren't native to the land. There was a garage—only a one-er though. It wasn't open, so i guess i was going to have to check it out later. There was a small porch with a old white bench swing with rusty chains. The brown wood of the porch looked as if you stepped on it, it would fall off. The was a screen door with two ripped holes in it, and then a faded mahogany red door. There was a little compartment that went out, and it was shielded by curtains. I could tell it was a two story because of the nailed window up high.
Adrian's lips pressed together, signaling a whistle like sound. His lips started to move, forming the words, 'wow' with an extra long 'ow'
I kicked him in the shin as i walked to the other side of the car. Adrian's mouth opened in shock as he collapsed. Maybe i didn't hit his shin....
I opened the door for Ace—just a habit of mine. Ace could move around perfectly well without me, but that doesn't mean i should let him do it.
Ace sighed loudly, slapping my arm before heading to the back of the car.
"Adrian!," Ace called. "Open the trunk!"
I smirked as i watch Adrian protest wildly, not wanting to burden us—more of Ace.
Me and Adrian were good friends after all, so he didn't rally mind me doing some work with him.
Finally giving in, Ace walked away from the car, pushing his hands in his pockets and walking up the porch steps. He sat down on the bench and started swinging as he played with a spider that happened to be on there.
The trunk popped up beneath my finger tips, and i pushed it up.
I wonder what it sounded like outside; if a bird was singing. I could feel the pecking underneath my feet from a tree about i mile away, meaning a woodpecker was probably being an idiot and smashing it's beak into bark.
I was about to reach for my Ace's skeleton suitcase when Adrian put his hand in front of mine.
I looked at him, curious.
'I got it, go check out the house,' Adrian signaled with quick movements.
I shrugged, walking away.
I motioned for Ace to stop playing with the spider when i reached the door.
"Aww," Ace murmured. The spider had been crawling up his fingers and twisting around, and Ace was actually enjoying it. Ace sighed in loss, placing the spider back on it's web.
"Why must you ruin my fun, brother?"
I muss his hair. "Why must you try to kill everything you touch, Ace?"
Ace snorted, hitting me in the side. "I think that's the other way around."
I chuckle as i open the screen door and hold it with my shoulder as i open the other door.
I open it and then Ace walks in, me following behind him.
Inside is allot better. To the write of us was two doors, and a stair case. I opened the two doors to find out one was the bathroom, the other was a closet. The bathroom was pink and had a decent white sink and toilet; the closet was in a fine condition too.
Walking to the left, i was opened to the family room; There was a large telivision and a black couch and pull-out chair. There was a coffee table too. Connected to the family room was the kitchen. There was a bar counter and three high-stool seats, a small refrigerator and a gas oven, and five cabinets(three above on the wall, four on the ground in the bar-table) and three drawers.
Noticing Ace wasn't on the ground floor, i walked upstairs. The Handrail was a dark brown just like the creaky steps—wood stairs.
Upstairs was the washer and drier—it was hidden inside a small compartment indented in the wall. There was only one laundry hamper. There was a restroom next to cleaning room. It was a glass like shower so it was in no need of curtains which meant no mold. The color was a dark blue, and the bathroom failed to have a window. The light was dim, and it was flickering when i turned it on.
Walking out the bathroom, i came to what i knew would be my room.
There was no window in it, and a nice enough bed. There was a light brown drawer in a corner with a mirror connected to it. There wasn't a t.v, but i really didn't care. There was a lamp and a fan above me.
Next i walked over to Ace's room that was on the farthest side. Ace's room had a window, and no light source. Ace had a small rectangular bed connected to the window, and that was it. The only thing left in the room was a carpet that would need to be moved anyway.
"So I'm guessing we're doing it in your room?," I ask.
Ace nodded. "Yeah."
I sighed. It wasn't as if i had a problem doing it in Ace's room. Ace was mature and he knew very well how to prepare everything. But there was something that nagged me, and it wouldn't leave me alone.
"Do you want a drawer?," I ask finally .
Ace shook his head. "I rather not."
"Okay then, I'm going to go wave of Adrian then."
"Alright."
With those words, I left, walking down the stairs and signaling 'bye' to Adrian.
Ace and I walked inside the front office. I had my shoulder-pack handing around my neck as my hands were shoved into my pockets. Ace had one hand on his black-with-a-red-cross duffle that rested on his shoulder.
Ace had black hair with a few neon-blue streaks. It was long-ish, so Ace kept it in two pony-tails today. His skin was white, and he had pink lips. Ace was wrapped in tight black jeans with two crossing chains, and he had skeleton high-tops on his feet. His shirt was black too. A red cross arm-warmer climbed up his right arm and three black and red bands clung to his left. His nails were painted black too. Ace also has a scar on his left eye ranging from his forehead to right above his mouth.
It sounds weird, but he actually looks extremely sexy in his Emo-Goth clothes. His scar barely demishes his beauty.
I look nothing like my brother. My hair is short and hazel brown. Unlike Ace, who has a very skinny body, i have a more lanky and muscular frame. Ace is also whiter then i am, while i am a light tan. I have sparkling blue eyes, as some people say. My wear contains normal jeans and a loose shirt that easily defines my body shape. I wear normal vans, and i have no scars. The only thing you could consider a scar would be the dragon tattoo on my right shoulder blade and the devil's pentagram imprinted on my earlobes.
So, me and Ace are extremely different in looks. Our personality too is quite different.
Anyways, walking up to the lady at the front desk, we both stopped.
"Excuse me?," Ace asked the lady.
The woman—her name tag stating Mrs. Jenkins—looked up from her paper work, staring at us with tired eyes.
'Yes?,' he lips showed.
"Uhm, me and my brother need a schedule."
Mrs. Jenkins eyes widened. "Oh! You two must be the new students!," her lips told me.
I simply stared at her.
Mrs. Jenkins started shuffling around in her stack of files and papers, looking for the schedule.
"Okay!," She said, finally finding two slips and giving them two Ace, who handed one to me. "You two are going to be in the same class, curtessy of the school. Usually you would have to split relatives, but you two are a special case!"
Great, I thought bitterly. A moron.
I took the other two slips that she was going to hand to my brother and then i grabbed Ace's hands and pulled him out the office with me.
I looked over the slips, taking in the writing.
1st Bell: English — Mr. Mason.
2nd Bell: Goverment — Mr. Jefferson.
3rd Bell: Trigonometry —Mr. Varner.
4th Bell: Spanish —Mrs. Roberta
5th Bell: Lunch
6th Bell: Biology — Mr. Banner.
7th Bell: Gym —Coach Clapp.
Sighing, i let go of Ace's hand.
There was a sweet smell wafting through the air, and i scrunched my nose, covering it. "What is that smell?," i hissed under my breath.
Ace seemed to notice it too. "It's way to powerful. Maybe we're by the girl's bathroom."
"Hmph."
I glance at a digital clock on the wall, and i notice that we should be in third bell.
So trig, is it?
Walking down the halls for about five minutes, i finally found a door labeled: '103 Trigonometry Varner'
I look at Ace, who's body language say's that he's tense. I doubt it's from the idea of walking into a class where no one knows you—no, it's the smell.
I had become more destinct now. It was a sickly sweet; it made me want to hurl.
I rapped my knuckles on the door before i walked in, giving them i sign that someone was there. It was the polite thing to do.
The class and teacher immediately turned to see me and my brother. Mr. Varner was sitting on his desk, and he stood up when he saw me. I walked over to him quietly, handing him our late slips.
The teacher took them, studying them before he set them down on his desk beside him
His lips started moving: "So you're the new students, eh? Would you like to introduce yourselves?"
No, i would not like to introduce myself.
Ace quickly took up the aid, saying. "Hi, my na—"
Ace's voice dissolved from my hearing.
I could feel him. He was inside me.
I finally knew what that sickly sweet smell was. My vision zooming in on a desk, i saw him. Or them.
The two had extremely pale skin and golden honey eyes. Vegetarians...
One had reddish-brown hair and reddish-pink lips. He had a white shirt under his grey jacket, and he wore simple pants and shoes.
The other i cared much less about; he had blond-brown curly hair and was in blue shirt and loose jeans.
But the one beside him....he was inside my mind. He had broke the barrier. He had broken through my barrier and i don't even think he tried. His scent...it was not a sickly sweet. It was a light crisp scent that allured me completely. He was staring strait at me as i was to him.
Did he even know what he had done?
Apparently not, since he seemed more preoccupied on keeping control of his hunger then worrying about me being able to hear him.
So, vampires were in this school.
I looked over to Ace, who had stopped talking. His face was turned at the one beside the brown-haired vampire.
It was then that i noticed more people were staring at me then Ace, obviously meaning i was supposed to introduce myself.
I glanced around the room, not parting my lips. Then i looked at Mr. Varner.
My lips were sealed.
Ace noticed this, and said, "This is my brother, Caleb. He's deaf."
"Ah," the teacher said. Then, he started moving his hands in sign language, which slightly surprised me.
'Hi,' he said.
'Hello,' i replied back.
'Can you read my lips?'
'Yes.'
The teacher nodded, setting his hands down on his lap again. He nodded his head towards an empty table right beside the two vampires.
Me and Ace walk over there, ignoring the stares of the students.
I'm more concerned about that vegetarian vampire who can get into my mind then the stupid students.
Ace too, is interested in the vampire next to mine.
But are examination is long short.
Suddenly, the two vampires stand up with their bags and fled the class room.
I stare at them as they leave, and then i smirk, leaning back in my chair.
Interesting.....
It's not long after that a note flicks on my desk.
I look around and see a girl with long brown hair and chocolate eyes. She motions for me to read it.
I open the note, and i read:
Stay away from Edward or you'll regret it!
I stare at it, then chuckle inwardly, crumping it and shoving it in my pocket. Imbecile.
Another note flicks on my desk. I open it.
Tell your brother to stay away from Jasper too!
I do the same thing with that paper as i did with the last, and then lean over to Ace, whispering,
"His name is Jasper."
Ace nods. I lean back in my chair. Edward hm? Cute name.
