So.. i just want to let those of you who haven't checked out the new chapter for my other story, The Evasionist, that because of the awesome comments, I've found the will to make time to write again. Where there's a will, there's a way, right? haha
I'll be posting every Sunday from now on.
As promised.. You get to now see Eden's family from Jade's point of view. Everything isn't as perfect as it seems. (*tehehee)
Also, any homophobes probably won't like this chapter, and I will say that if there are any homophobic comments, we will have problems. I don't care at all about negative comments ... that equals constructive critisicsm... but make it homophobic and I'll do everything to report yo ass.
Yes, I'm straight as a rod, before anyone asks, but guys, its 2010. There are stranger things out there than a homosexual character.
The character in question is integral to a future line in the story, by the way, so he's a-stayin.
I love you guys for reading!! Comment if you want to!!

11. Little Green Monsters
Jade POV
Of course.
The little twerp gained 5 new powers before her little overlord.
I wish she had died, I'm so sick of her.
I know that that probably sounds really horrible to you, me being her big sister and all, but you haven't lived with the pretentious little bitch for all your life.
I remember for that short 6 years before she got her powers, how peaceful and together everything was.
But once she did, everything was about her.
"Twins don't come to close to baby Eden."
"Twins stay in your rooms so Eden can play."
"Twins, do this for the baby?
Twins, do that for her?"
I detested being called the "Twins."
SASA was the only place where I was recognized as being just Jade. I
wasn't Jace, and Jace wasn't me.
Why was it that everyone but the people we lived with everyday understood that?
And if little Edie being more important to our parents than us wasn't enough, her powers made her even more of a little trophy child.
Even when she hadn't gained a new power, she got all the attention, I remember when she got mom and dad's powers, how she was the only one on the family Christmas card that year.
Our whole family life centered on her and my parents.
When she first phased, we had to sit around waiting for 7 hours while she ran around as a wolf, snapping trees or whatever, when I had a ton of homework and no one but Jace to try and help me.
But of course, supporting Eden's powers are more important to my parents than their other children.
Ugh. What I hate the most is that she gets everything she wants, and then acts like everything is a burden.
"O, my body hurts because it's fine-tuning whatever kickass power I absorbed this time."
"Omg, we're moving again, and I'm the only one who will miss my home and friends, so let me go sulk up in my disgusting tree."
"Omg this hot incredible guy didn't tell me the same secret I was keeping from him!"
The little twerp doesn't think of anyone but herself.
I would definitely give my life for a power as great as hers, but all she does is complain. It's a good thing that she doesn't know how I feel about this, because she'd probably tell her mommy and daddy, and I'd get in big trouble.
I keep my mind under huge wraps, so even the three mind readers live with wont suspect a thing.
It's another one of my powers, but they don't know that.
I can shield my mind and others'.
Jace is the only one who knows everything about me because the twin telepathy thing, and I know that he will never ever tell either.
He's the only one who can break my shield, because he's a part of me.
He and I share a special connection, not because of the weird twin thing, but because he's my best friend.
He knows about all of my extra powers. He's the only one that can talk me out of stuff in my head, the only one who I don't mind coming through the back door of my mind.
If he wasn't my brother (and gay, not that our parents or the twerp have bothered to notice) he'd be my true love, only that sounds incredibly creepy.
It doesn't seem to bother him at all that our parents only care about their youngest child.
As far as he's concerned, the least attention they pay to him, the more freedom he has. Which is true, considering the past nights he's stayed out partying and dating different guys.
He's a pretty popular guy, and he got around at our super liberal school, until in June when he got a steady boyfriend, this cool guy named Dorian.
Doe has power over magnetic ability, and he's a good friend of mine.
He and Jace are the cutest couple ever.
A lot of times Jace ends up sleeping over Doe's house, and I follow him to relax with them and chill with Doe's sister Kris, also a good friend, who can phase through solid objects.
Our parents honestly don't even notice how often Jace and I are gone, and neither does the twerp now that she's all about hanging out with the wolves.
I've only met Jacob Black, and he was tasty-looking, but I could tell he was in love. I saw that face in the mirror often.
I disguise it well.
We both keep busy.
Jace is captain of the basketball team, and I'm school president and head cheerleader.
If anyone ever groups us, it's only Kris and Doe, who call us the Wonder twins.
Of course my parents have no clue about any of our school activities or anything suspicious because they never listen to what we say or ask, what we care, or what we think.
Jace is the only one who knows exactly what that abandonment really felt like, and what it's like to want everyday what your little sister has, including her boyfriend.
Yes, I admit it.
I'm in fucking love with Warren Peace. Have been for years, ever since he came over with that apple pie.
He was gorgeous, even that young, but even more important; I always knew he was one of us. I dug through his mind.
Of course, they have no idea I can read minds, because I shield that part from everyone except Jace. Warren was a fascinating read.
It was hard at first, there were some tough barriers to go through, but I broke through them all without him noticing.
Soon he was over at our house everyday to hang with her.
It became my favorite time, because I saw all his memories and knew everything about him.
Before I could stop myself, I had an obsession with him.
I read, and re-read his life everyday like my favorite novel every time he came over.
He was exhilarating.
He was such a good person inside, but with the temper of the devil, and it was unbelievably sexy.
I fell in love with him pretty quick after that.
I couldn't even tell him say Hello without icing him out unintentionally.
If I didn't do that, I might have yelled, "I fucking love you more than she ever can! Don't be with my little sister!"
That probably wouldn't have gone down so well.
For a while, not even Jace had any idea, but he knew something was up automatically when I hadn't 'warmed up' to Warren in a month.
He badgered me for weeks with puppy eyes and begging until I told him what was really going on.
I confessed everything to my brother, how stupid I was.
He hugged me when I cried in self-disgust.
The little bitch got and took everything I ever wanted out of life, and I hated her so much for it.
I just wanted love, and support, but her existence fucked it all up.
So many times I contemplated using mind control on Warren, or just ending my miserable life, but Jace talked me out of it and made me temporarily happy.
I couldn't even shield the surge of envy and hatred that burned in me when she teleported into the kitchen, showing off her new power, just when I was just working up the nerve to say something to Warren, who was watching T.V. beside me as I sketched the outline of his face in my notebook.
I know she felt it because she thought freely, thinking I couldn't read her.
Then the little bitch had the nerve to try to manipulate my emotions.
I shoved my shield down hard; knowing that she couldn't affect me while it was in effect.
I was glad she was afraid.
She had every reason to be.
Eden POV
Omg!
I've never been so happy in my life.
Of the 15 people that were outside, I absorbed 5 new abilities, while still processing those of the sky-high people. Besides the powers of the Sky High gang, I got Jace's boyfriend's power.
How did I not know my own brother was gay? The girl he sat with on the bus was his boyfriend's sister, Kristina I think was her name.
I don't think our parents know yet.
I wondered how he kept mom out. She was always in my head.
Jace's boyfriend was Dorian Brown, and he was a senior with the ability to control anything magnetic and bend magnetic fields to his will.
From Kristina, his sister, I got the ability to phase through solid objects and control metal. She could even extend her fingernails into metal claws.
I also had the power to make illusions, be invisible, and the ability to phase through solid surfaces.
I loved my new powers, even if all together they were too much for me to keep track of at first.
My dad and I had to use the sanctum all day and all night for the first week before I went to Forks High so I could learn how to act normal and control them all.
It was exhausting constantly testing all of my limits and learning how to act normal all in a week and a half, but my mom came in and helped a lot too.
The next week, I slept for three days straight, waking up the day before my first day in the wretched small town high school.
I still hated Forks, and was sure I would hate their local high school even more, but then I really thought about it.
Jake told me that the Cullens went there.
I would finally meet his girlfriend, Reneesmee tomorrow.
I saw her in his head a lot more, now that the pack had me running patrols.
I saw in his head how much he loved her. He thought about her every time he was away. It was almost obsessive, but I understood that he imprinted on her.
I wondered what it'd be like if I ever imprinted.
I wondered what it would be like to be around vampires.
But then again, I was around werewolves whenever I wasn't hanging with other supers. How tough could a couple of vamps possibly be?
I went to bed, totally calm about my first day.
I was sure it would be completely uneventful.

Ok, sure. Is anything uneventful with vampires?
lmao.
What do you guys think??
