Evan

Woohoo! I'm so glad that I finally found my sister after these 2 1/2 years. Now I won't be alone anymore, not with Sierra. She somehow manages to make everything livelier than it already is. I think that's her special gift from having me as a twin [lol]. I could hear her and everyone else's thoughts, which was a surprise to me, because I was never one to guess anyone's thoughts. I sifted through my mind while filling the helium balloons [i love those! they're so cool], and found something very interesting. Apparently there are two mind-reading networks in my brain, one for reading everyone's thoughts, like Sierra's friend Edward, and the other was for Sierra only. I decided to try it out, give it a run before confirming anything.

Hey, Sierra, how are the drinks and ice pops coming? I smiled, knowing that Sierra would find a way to freeze blood into blood pops [like juice pops, but disgusting, cuz i'm not a vamp]. Clearly surprised by the two networks that were in her brain and mine, she breezed back into the living room, and stared at me with her large hazelnut-and-amber colored golden eyes. "What was that? It's like I have a separate network for you and me only, which is weird. Cool, but weird."

I laughed, replying back, "I have one too, so I decided to test things out like I usually do. And success! It worked! I'm so proud of myself," beaming away at her. Sierra just rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Well now, aren't you? I would have never dreamed you wouldn't be proud of yourself." "Shut up, you! It's called self confidence!" "More like pride!" Giggling, I threw an unfilled balloon at her. She dodged, and whipped back to the kitchen. "Hurry up! They're gonna come in a couple of hours!" I yelled, starting to speed up the balloon filling. "Ok!" she yelled back. Finished, I went to backyard, where a lot of wild flowers grew. I breezed through, picking the prettiest, most colorful, and great smelling flowers I could find. I arranged them in vases I chose myself, some I even made!

"I'm finished! Let's get dressed now," Sierra called back. "Evan, can you pick out the best clothes?" "Sure!" I went to my bedroom and picked through the dresses. For me, I chose a purple dress with ruffles on front and straps, to match and show off my lilac highlights that I had before. The, for Sierra, I saw the same dress, except bright red, to show off and match her highlights too. She came in just then. "I didn't know we had the same dresses," she exclaimed in surprise. "Ehh, I jst saw them and picked them out. Matches the hair," I replied, going to my dresser and taking out a purple flower headband and amethyst jewelry set.

She shrugged. "Whatever. Pretty, but whatever." She grinned evilly and took out an old velvet box. "Now this is a matcher!" In the box was a ruby and diamond choker. "The hostesses will be the hit of the party!" "What about your friends Rosalie and Alice? You told me that they were fashion crazy."

Again the shrugging. "When are the hosts of a party the hit? Never! I'm taking it, even if you're not." "Who says I'm not?" "You basically said it!" I was about to reply with a hot retort when the doorbell rang downstairs. "Save it for later, they're here." Still upset a bit, I put a smile on my face and went down. To be honest, I'm shy. Especially when it comes to meeting new people- I mean vampires. I stuck with Sierra until she opened the door, greeting the guests warmly.

"Hi, everyone! Welcome to my place. I told you that we would have a party," she seemed to remind one of them, a motherly looking vampire wearing a nice dressy top with a skirt [y'all better know who this is or else :D]. She smiled at my sister and said, "I'm convinced, Sierra. Alice couldn't stop badgering us about it the moment she had the vision." Then she spotted me hanging around the trellis wall with real flowers growing on it. "Hello," she said kindly, "I'm Esme, and you must Sierra's sister, Evan. She's told us so much about you when we met." I smiled shyly. "I'v heard a lot about your family too. The humans in Forks think you're an intriguing and mysterious family, but I think you're the most civilized vampires I've seen, besides the Volturi." Esme laughed and said, "Well, don't worry, we very rarely get in trouble with them. We're intriguing family even to the rest of our kind." I finally came out of my hiding place and went to stand next to Esme. She seemed friendly and kind, so I decided to peer in her thoughts.

I'm so glad that Sierra found her sister after quite a while. Why, she looks almost exactly like her, except the eyes and hair... I've never seen such beautifully golden eyes, like a clear, perfect, red sunset with lots of colors. Sierra's hair has red highlights, Evan's has purple ones. I think I'll eventually love them as much as my own family. I felt a slight coolness rise in my cheeks, with the blood I drank coloring them. "Thank you for the comments on my features," I informed her, grinning. "People always say that we look almost the same, but the hair and eyes are different." Esme's eyes widened, a lot. "How did you know? Can you read minds like my 'son' Edward can?" I thought, then answered, "Yes, but my systems work like Sierra's. We have a network for having mind conversations, and one for reading others' thoughts." Esme nodded. "Very intriguing and interesting, my 'husband' would like to explore that. Oh, Carlisle Cullen, he's a doctor, working at the Forks Hospital," catching the confused look on my face.

"Oh, I've heard about him too. I knew he was one of our kind when I heard that he looks almost perfect, young, and very pale skin with golden eyes. How does he manage it, working in the hospital? Doesn't the blood bother him?" I was genuinely interested. Esme laughed again and replied, "You'll have to ask him yourself."

Sierra spotted our conversation from the other side while talking to a small, spiky haired girl and a big, burly young man. Starting out with Esme? Great! Alice would've talked so much you wouldn't be able to say anything at all, using our special network. I knew that one of the Cullens, the tall one with the golden-brown, ruffled hair could read minds, based on what Sierra told me, but our network is for us only. No one else can look into it. Which is why it's AWESOME.

The small, spiky one danced over, catching Esme by her hands and twirling around and around. I had to clasp my hands to my mouth to stop giggling too much. Then Alice [?] spotted me and immediately sauntered over. She regarded me with large golden eyes, then said, "Hi there! I'm Alice. I'm 17, but I've been 17 for quite a while now. How about you? You look a whole lot like Sierra. Were you twins before you became like us? That's cool, because maybe you still are. Yes, I'm the smallest one in our family, and yes I love to go shopping. How about you?" It was funny how she kept going on, talking about the basics. I smiled and replied, "My name is Evangeline, but most people call me Evan. I've been 17 for a couple of years now. I know I look like Sierra, because we're twins. I'm actually a bit smaller then Sierra, like a centimeter or two. I like shopping, especially for jewelry. I usually go to Seattle or Portland for big shopping. My favorite color is purple, and I like hunting the most aggressive lions and bears, so don't worry, I'm not Miss Perfect."

Alice laughed. "I never said you were. So how are things going with you and your sister? Have you been to our house yet? Wait, I guess not. You and Sierra should come over soon. 'll show you the view in my room that I stole from Edward." The boy with the golden-brown hair- Edward- stuck out his tongue at her. Alice waved it off and dragged me to meet him. "Evan, Edward. Edward, Evan," she announced. I shook hands with Edward and said, "Hi. I noticed that we share some abilities, like delving into a person or vampire's brain privacy." He grinned at that while Alice laughed again. "That's true, I'm happy to say. I heard you say to Esme that you and Sierra have a separate system for yourselves only? Can you please explain? I want to know about what some of our kind can do."

I was about to open my mouth to explain when I had a foresight. I saw Sierra fighting another, stronger vampire wearing a dark hooded cloak. He looked strangely familiar. Then I saw a human stalking her when walking back home with groceries. With a jolt I realized that it was during Sierra's- our- human life. There was something strange about the setting. I swear I saw her vampire self hovering anxiously in the corner, like a ghost. As if waiting to see what happened, because right after the human assaulted her she got hit by a car. She had blacked out the instant before the car hit her. I felt a pang for my sister; she had had a terrible week.

I jolted back to the present to find Edward and Alice looking worried. "Are you ok? Because you sort of snapped out of it. Your eyes went glossy and pale. Edward tried to see what was happening, but he said you had such a good shield that was blocking him," Alice said in one breath. I shook my head and said, "Nothing much happened, but..."

I swept through the house to find my sister. Where are you? I cried through our own connection. Sierra cheerfully sent a picture of her room. Why? Emmett scared you?

I haven't met Emmett yet. Beside, I had a foresight. It's urgent.

I caught the sudden urgency in her mind voice. What happened? Instead of telling her, I showed her.

Oh my... oh my God. WTF? Dizziness. Last thing I see before falling down the stairs, Sierra having a frightened look on her face.

SO MY DELICATE FANS HOW'D U LIKE IT? CHAPTER 5 IS NEXT!
