1: when worlds collide
"Tay, wake up sweetie! Kadi is going to be here in an hour and you need to finish packing!" a voice yelled sweetly. To Taylor Rae Night, this voice wasn't exactly the highlight of her morning. She was definitely the best way to get a headache when you wake up. She was about to fall back asleep when this time, a different, familiar female voice came from inside her head.
"Taylor Rae Night! Wake up! Now! Up up! Oi! I know you can hear me..." the voice she recognized immediately as Kadi, her older sister, said inside her head.
"Alright, alright," Tay muttered to the both of them.
"What's that honey?" her mom asked from outside the door.
"Nothing."
"You should really hurry hun, Kadi will be here soon and you're not even packed."
"Yeah Tay, hurry up," she heard Kadi snicker. She knew she hated it when a bunch of people, including her, were talking all at once.
"What's wrong?" Taylor's mom asked as she groaned. She had another of her patented major headaches and her mom's peppiness wasn't helping, along with the whole, her being human and yummy problem. "Your eyes look very dark today, are you wearing contacts again?" she didn't know about the whole vampyre thing but she knew there was something off about "the girls". Yikes.
"Yeah, contacts..." Tay muttered, "And I have a killer headache again," she couldn't lie to her about the headaches she got though. They totally threw her off and she got them almost daily.
"Hmm, make sure K takes care of that in Washington."
"'Kay, I'm gunna finish packing, can you make something to eat? I'm starving and I'm sure Kadi is too, actually, I know she is, she always is," she just smiled, nodded and left Taylor to talk to Kadi and pack.
"Thanks girl, that's one way to make her confident with you moving in with me!" she heard Kadi shout.
"Ha ha," Taylor smiled.
"So what did you do about boyfriend?" Kadi asked with genuine curiosity.
"Uh, boyfriend?"
"Brad, idiot. Are you completely going stupid on me now?" K laughed.
"Oh, I told him I was moving and we couldn't see each other anymore, then he started going all long distance relationship on me and I let him know that I had been trying to find a way to break up with him for a while now..." she shrugged to herself.
"Ouch."
"Yeah, I guess, for him. I'm just glad we're over, he's such a… guy. He was a major pig." she sighed.
"Okay... well I'm here, hope you're ready," her sister laughed.
"What? It's only been like ten minutes."
"I didn't tell you? I got a new car! Its red, too!" Tay could hear her smiling, red has always been Kadi's favorite color.
"You're lucky I'm ready. I'm guessing it's fast, can't wait to see it."
"What about your car?"
"What? You think I'm leaving it here? Um, no. I'm driving it-and don't worry, I'll follow you the whole way." Taylor giggled.
"Hm, I suppose you can do that, but you won't want to after you see my car. Come outside." she said. Tay decided to do what she said and walked out of her front door and gasped. She got a convertible, cherry red Ferrari! It was beautiful!
"Oh," Taylor started.
"My," Kadi said.
"Goodness gracious!" Their mom finished her and Kadi's signature OMG moment.
"You weren't kidding! It makes my Shelby look like a toy!" Taylor got a nice, shiny new black Shelby GT 500 with purple racing stripes for her 16th birthday, and it seriously looked weak next to K's new fancy sports car.
"I hope you aren't planning on driving with her in that thing Kadi," exclaimed their mom.
"Oh I was, but little miss party-pooper here has decided to drive her little bumper car alongside my new little baby," K said, getting out of the car, sitting on the front and rubbing the fresh red paint. "Courtesy of a nice big pay check," she said when her mom and Taylor did was stand there and stare.
"Well," my mom said, embracing Taylor in a hug, "I guess you two should get moving if you're done packing, honey. I'm going to miss you so much! Don't forget to call me. Remember, you are coming out here for Christmas, right?" she said, a tear creeping out of the corner of her eye.
"Call, Christmas, right... got it," she murmured into her sweet, lavender smelling hair. "I'm really going to miss you too mom," Taylor said as she pulled away from her, grabbing the bag that Kadi hadn't put in either of the cars yet. She put it in the back of her car, closed the trunk, got in and turned on the engine.
"Bye!" their mom yelled as Kadi and Taylor both backed out of the driveway.
"You ready for the best adventure ever girlie?" she heard Kadi say.
"You have no idea." Taylor laughed. She was free! Finally!
"Oh my God! My head feels like it's going to freaking catch on fire! I started getting them after I became a vamp, did you have major headaches ever?" Taylor demanded at Kadi as she got into her car to go get groceries.
"Naw, but I always heard a ringing in my ears and that partially turned out to be the stupid thing in my garage for the rats buzzing," she said nonchalantly, picking at her freshly painted finger nails, "and it was also because my hearing was slowly improving and it was just freaking out. I don't know what's wrong with you but it's killing my head too."
"Ugh, whatever you are so not helpful!" Tay shouted after her sister's car, she left Tay to unpack the truck alone, even though her head felt like it was going to explode.
I hate being a vampyre sometimes, she thought to herself, it's just so annoying! To her, it was hard to believe that it was 15 years ago that day that her and her sister "died". The day she left her mom's house to go live with Kadi was also the last time she ever saw her. After they both left, they came up with a plan. They knew her and everybody else was getting suspicious that they weren't getting older. So, they decided they needed to get away permanently. They ended up crashing their cars and running for it. Of course K wasn't happy about getting rid of her new car already, but she knew it was necessary.
The girls had moved five times since they'd "died." Today they were moving into their newest home. At all of the other schools Taylor started out as a junior and Kadi didn't go to school and was a graduate from high school. This year though, Tay decided to pull off a sophomore, and because K didn't look that much older than Taylor, she was forced to be a senior. When the girls first moved into their new house, otherwise known as the famous Lione Manor (named after the family that built it about 150 years ago) someone amazing lived next door. The sisters were taking in boxes when Masen came out to help.
"Hey, that looks heavy," he said as he took the box Tay was effortlessly taking out of the truck. Her head suddenly stopped hurting.
"Yeah, uh, thanks," she said, stumbling with her words. To Taylor, his voice was almost as gorgeous as the rest of him.
"So, are you new to East Ranch? I haven't seen you around before." he said.
"Uh," she said, shaking her head quickly, "yeah, I just moved here from, uh, California," she couldn't even talk to him without stumbling over her own words, especially when he looked at her with his gorgeous sky blue eyes.
He laughed lightly at her for a second, "What school are you going to? I'm a sophomore at ERH."
"ERH, that's East Ranch High right? Yeah I think that's the right place," Taylor laughed flirtatiously, finally composing herself and regaining her perfected confidence with guys.
"Yeah, awesome," he smiled, "what grade are you in?"
"Sophomore," she stated, returning his smile. Man, I can't fall for a human! I'm going to have to move in like 3 years! she mentally yelled at herself.
"Great, maybe we'll have some classes together," he said sweetly, setting the box down on the porch.
"That would be sweet," she said, smiling like a fool, she stuck her hand out, Great, I'm making it even worse! "I'm Taylor."
"Masen," he said smiling, taking her hand in his. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Well, I'm glad I made a friend for my first day."
"Glad to help," he said, running his hand through his adorable length redish brown hair. Then he looked away smiling, "Hey, I gotta get to football, talk to you tomorrow 'kay?" he said. Another good quality, he's a football player.
"Oh...ok, I'll see you at school I guess,"
"Yeah, you have a seat at our table tomorrow during lunch if ya want. It's a little crowded but, I don't think anyone would mind. Also for the record, I definitely wouldn't mind," he said, winking at me.
Taylor blushed, "Thanks."
"Who was that?" K asked when she walked out as Masen was walking away.
"Uh, Masen. He's going to ERH too. Oh and, I wanna be a sophomore this time."
"Why? Is he a sophomore?" K asked, giggling.
"Ya, pretty much," she said, yawning. "I'm tired, bye."
"Dude, it's like six, how are you tired? Did your new boy toy wear you out?" she asked with a smile.
"I just talked to him stupid, how is he my new boy toy?" Taylor inquired, smiling.
"I don't know," she said walking away, waving, "I can read your mind stupid, ever think about that? I heard what he said about 'not minding'" she said, turning just enough so that she could see her smile.
"I hate you." Taylor said matter-of-factly, following her into the house.
"Love you too, sis."
