Killer Skin

By JackTheVampire

Edward stepped forward into the light as I held my breath.

For a moment my eyes were blinded by the shininess of his skin, glittering and sparkling in the sunlight for some reason. Luckily his chest hair deflected some of the light, making my retinas burn a little less.

"Do you see what I am now?!" He screamed, sparkle veins straining in his neck. "Do you see how my people are different?!"

I nodded, rubbing my knuckles into my eyes, trying to see again. Edward was still a big glitter tube, perched on a rock. "What the fuck are you, dude?"

He sighed his face, I presumed, was dark. But he was still lit up like a Christmas tree, so I couldn't tell. "I'm different. Dangerous." He slid out of the light and went out like a cheap neon sign getting shut off by the owner of the KFC. Edward leaned against a tree, brooding and sighing.

"No, really. What are you? Why's your skin like that?" I asked. "Is it hypoxia? Can vampire's get hypoxia?"

He stepped back into the light.

"Whoa!" I cried, and shielded my eyes.

"Don't you see?!" He screamed again. Edward screamed a lot. "I'm not like you!

"You're damn straight! What kind of vampire sparkles in the sun?!" I reached my hand out into the light. The sun hit it and my pale skin began to turn red. It quickly blackened and smoked. "That's normal!" I pulled my hand into the shade. "You freaking sparkle, man! Is it because you're gay?"

"No! I'm not gay!"

"Whatever."

"I...I'm a fairy, Jasper. Not a vampire."
