Author's Note: Hi! This is my first 'fanfic', so please be nice.
First of all, it's not really a fanfic, since it has nothing to do with Twilight. It was merely inspired by Twilight, and has Vampires in it.
Second, I already have more than 200 pages written by hand, and the story will be updated whenever I have time to type it out.
Thank you so much for looking at this, and I'll understand if you don't follow with the story. ^^
The story is 100% mine, but, like I said, inspiration from Twilight.
Please review! Thanks. xD

I saw the deer a few yards away, its tail flicking back and forth. It could sense danger.
I was the danger.
Turning my head slightly, I saw my brother Lucas already chasing an elk. He didn't look too enthusiastic about it. I didn't have to read his mind to know that the entire family would be going out tonight for an extra feast.
Luke noticed my gaze and stopped in his tracks to look at me. He was impatient for me to finish feeding so we could get home.
Can you hurry up? He complained to me through our mental connection. He was bored of hunting already, even though we'd only been out for a few minutes. I told him that with my mind and he gave an audible grunt in response.
I sighed and turned back to the deer. It was still on the alert for danger, frozen in a state of awareness.
"Luke, you can leave if you want." I spoke out loud, too weak from my diminished feeding habit to use my mind connection. Even though Luke was more than a hundred feet away, I knew he would be able to hear my voice.
Nah, I might as well stay, he said indifferently in my mind. He sounded a bit weird though, but I didn't have enough strength to search his mind. Quit stalling, Luke added in a growl.
I bit my lip and tensed the muscles in my legs, settling into a crouch. I could feel Luke's eyes on me, waiting for me to jump, so I did.
My jump took me to the spot in front of the deer and I opened my mouth, waiting for my teeth to start changing. I could sense the deer's fear and almost closed my mouth until Luke growled loudly, reminding me of what I was. What we were.
In less than a second, my teeth were a bit sharper, a bit longer. The sunlight glinted off of them and my teal-coloured eyes flashed as I felt my other side rising to the surface. The deer's tantalizing scent reached my nostrils and the smell made me groan. I couldn't hold it off for much longer. I needed to hunt.
Ignoring Luke, who was using our mental connection to give me advice on "bagging the prey" as he put it, I bent my head and bit the deer.
The fresh, crimson blood flowed into my mouth, and felt good as it slid down my parched throat. I sucked vigorously until there was no more left in the unmoving carcass in my hands.
See, it wasn't that bad, Luke said in an attempt to cheer me up.
I felt the strength in my body return to normal, so I rose from my crouch slowly. "I just killed a harmless animal Luke," I hissed.
I felt Luke flinch mentally. He withdrew quietly from my head, and I was alone in my thoughts. I dropped the dead body. "I'm sorry," I muttered.
In an instant, Luke was by my side, his 'normal' teeth flashing like diamonds as he grinned at me. "I forgive you." With that, we sprinted through the woods and made it back home in just a few minutes. It would've taken the average human at least an hour to travel that distance. But of course, we weren't human.
Walking into the familiar mansion that I called home, I could hear my two older brothers playing video games in the living room. Luke ran in to join them.
"Thanks Luke," I muttered. I heard a chuckle from the living room.
"Michelle, how was the hunting trip?" I turned to see my 'mother', Elizabeth, by my side, a smile on her pretty face.
"It was fine," I replied, smiling only to reassure her that I hadn't gone all psycho. It seemed to work.
Elizabeth had been a beauty long before becoming… what she is. She has lustrous chestnut hair that falls down her back in curls. Her body is small and curvy, and is envied among her human friends. Like the rest of us Careys, she has piercing blue eyes. When she's strong, at least.
"You two are back." My 'father' descended the staircase, his face warm despite the eyes. Our eyes rarely ever looked anything but frightening. "That's good. We were just about to leave." Matthew Carey's smile turned apologetic as he said this.
I smiled anyway. "That's fine Dad. I'll just rent a movie or something. Maybe hit some shops. School's tomorrow and I guess I should get some new clothes or something." Another thing that sucks about being an immortal teenager: repeating school over and over.
Matthew nodded and whipped out his credit card. "Here," he said, handing it to me, even though I already had my own. I took it anyway, to make him feel better about the hunting trip.
"Thanks," I murmured.
My three brothers were suddenly at my side, identical grins on their pale, beautiful faces. "Are we leaving now?" William, my oldest brother, asked eagerly.
Matthew nodded. "Alright then, let's go!" Thomas, my second oldest brother, urged, his face alight with anticipation. They were all thirsty and I knew it just by looking at their almost-emerald eyes.
Luke was more considerate. "Bye sis," he murmured, giving me a hug. I hugged my favourite brother back, and in a split second, my family was gone, their mental farewells ringing in my head.
The stores here in Carlton, Oregon, all shared the same thing- they were small and overpriced.
Even though money was no object for my family, $60 for a plain sweater was a bit too much.
As I entered one of the more popular boutiques, I saw a group of girls giggling over the 'cute' cashier. They stopped when I walked in, just so they could shoot me some dirty looks.
I knew them from school. They were the more popular- yet mean- girls.
Their leader, a girl named Lindsay Banks, muttered 'freak' under her breath as I passed them. I smirked. They were all emanating jealousy, and I could feel it, so I ignored her.
I picked out some nice stuff and was out of the boutique in less than fifteen minutes. I didn't need to try anything on; my size would never change. I paid with Matthew's credit card; he would be happy.
It had only been about half an hour since the rest of my family had left, so I wasn't looking forward to the hour or so I had to waste. This is one of those times when I would give everything to be human again.
It was a nice night, so I had decided to walk instead of taking my Lamborghini. Of course, the fact that none of us saved a lot of money, so we could afford such luxuries. It also helped that both of my parents had had high-paying jobs in the different places we'd moved to. They'd been collecting money for quite some time now.
Vampires having normal, completely human jobs. It was a strange thought. A lot of our kind did it though, so it wasn't exactly uncommon. We all missed the human lives we didn't have, so we tried our best to replicate them during our extended lives.
But me… I'm an Immortal.
I passed by a group of my fellow Yamhill-Carlton Tigers. They seemed to be excited by the fact that school was starting again tomorrow, something that I didn't share with them.
When you've been alive for the past forty-five years and you're still attending high school, it tends to get a bit old. I already know everything that my teachers have to teach me and more.
One more year…This thought was quite comforting.
Luke and I are posing as seniors this year, and after we graduate, the entire family will be leaving Carlton. Will and Tom already 'graduated'. Now the spotlight's on Luke and I.
I wondered where we'd go next. Places with a lot of sun would be out of the question. I'd always wanted to live in Manhattan.
"Yo, Carey!"
I turned to see a few of the jocks from my school waving me over. Of course, the male population at Yamhill-Carlton didn't think I was a freak. Their thoughts did get a little 18A sometimes. It was a bit annoying, and Luke didn't respond too nicely when I told him what they were thinking.
"C'mon, Carey! We're going for a spin, wanna tag along?" Ian Stevens is the Yamhill-Carlton quarterback, and amazingly handsome- to humans. To me he was just another insignificant human.
I shook my head and shot him a smile. "No thanks."
His eyes widened. I didn't bother reading his thoughts- the lust emanating from him was enough to tell me what he was hiding in his head. And his pants.
I continued walking until I found a secluded area where I could finally be myself. Looking around, I saw no one there, so I closed my eyes and disappeared without a trace.
Thanks for reading! Hope you liked it. ^^
