Through the eyes of a half/breed
Declaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of J. K Rowling's characters, just the ones I think up
Chapter 4: Getting ready
My mom woke me up around ten the next day. I of course, groaned to this, mumbled utter nonsense
under my breath at her, and rolled over. To which my mom laughed at and walked away as I she said.
"Well get up soon, your cousin are here, and you know how much they love getting you up." I groaned
again, Aubrey & Haze were notorious morning people who were known to go around the dorm rooms in the
morning waking people up by the most annoying ways possible. Such as Aubrey's favorite, teleporting in and
out for several minutes in a row shouting "Meep , Meep!" Which she would do in till you got so mad at them
that you leapt from bed and attempted to attack her, which of course would do you no good, because she would
just teleport away at the last second laughing at you. Just as I was struggling to remove my self from the
confines of my bed I was thrown back down by two lumps that could only be my "beloved" family. I opened my
eyes blearily to see two identical, mischievous faces grinning down at me.
"Go away." I mumbled.
"How about not?" Said one of the twins.
"How about yes?" I answered back.
"Nope." Said the second twin firmly, as she dragged me up into a sitting position. I opened my eyes farther to recognize this one as Haze.
"And why not?" I asked back, with the stubbornness that characterized my family.
"Because silly, today every one is coming over here!" Aubrey answered as she bounced around my room.
"Everyone" Included our friends, Kathryn, her twin brother Damon, and Damon's best friend Carter. My eyes
widened at this, I had totally forgotten that was today, and how was I supposed to tell my friends that I was
moving away to England for 1 to 2 years? I looked over at the clock, the others where coming over at 10:30 & it
was 10:10 now. I jumped out of bed and ran over to my closet taking out a pair of baggy blue jeans & a loose
black t-shirt with a dragon & tiger posed to fight on it. I hurried in to the bathroom and pulled on the clothes &
running a brush through my hip-length black hair.
"Done!" I proclaimed proudly as I glanced at my clock, 10:20, good I still had a few minutes before the others showed up.
"Let's go out side and wait for the others." Haze said. Ten minutes later we were sprawled out in the shade in
my front lawn. I yawned and stretched out on the grass, thinking about my friends. First off there are the twins,
identical twins I might add, Aubrey & Haze. They're my cousins as I've said before, we were raised together.
They've got long blond hair, though Aubrey's is rather dark, & Haze's is really light, almost silvery in color.
And. Like me they have un-believably pale skin, it just comes with the vampire territory I guess. The twins are
the same height as me, if not a little taller. Aubrey and Haze inherited my uncle's silver eyes, they have little
flecks of gold in them, from their mother's own golden eyes. Though they look alike, they both have completely
different attitudes. Aubrey is rather loud and outgoing & can get kind of talkative sometimes. She loves
quidditch & flying in general, she's chaser for our house team. Haze is a lot shyer than her sister, she prefers
diving in to a good book, visiting the library, drawing, or what-ever she does when she disappears for all of those
hours at a time, all I know is that when she does, no one can find her, no even Aubrey, and they have that weird
twin sensing thing going on. Then there's Kathryn & Damon.
Kathryn & her brother Damon looked a lot a like, but they deny it if you ever point it out. Kathryn had
long black hair, down to her ankles, which she always kept, tied back in a pony tail. She had the same
completion as her brother, smooth & tan, for no matter how much they stayed inside, they soaked up all the sun-
light that hit them. She always wore "lumber jack" shirts; you know the plaid kind with collars, her brother's
shorts (which came down to her knees), high socks, & of course her favorite foot wear, converse, she never left
the house (or school) with out them, quiet odd really. Damon was the same in that category, except his favorite
shoes were a pair of ratty old tennis- shoes. He wore knee length shorts (no high socks on him, thank Merlin),
and loose t-shirts. Carter dressed similar to his friend, except no matter what season, he always wore blue, knee-
length shorts and a tight fitting black t-shirt. And he had light hazel eyes & shaggy light-brown hair. For some
reason the weather didn't affect him, maybe it had
something to do with him being a werewolf. Oh? Did I not mention that before? Cause he is. For you see, he
wandered away from his house one full moon night while his parents were having a dinner party when he was 8.
The scary part was after he wandered away and got bit, no one found him for the next 3 years. He luckily
managed to find a werewolf colony deep in the woods, other wise he would have most likely died. It was my
uncle, mom, and I who finally managed to find him. For after 3 years Carter's parents were desperate to find
him, they never gave up hope that he'd survived all of those years. But any way, they heard of my mom's
empathy powers and her brother's telepathy, and vampirism (and the fact my uncles an aurer & my mom's a
defense against the dark arts teacher) & thought that if any one could find their child it was them. They brought
me along because I showed signs of empathy at age 11 & thought I could help. And I did. It was me that
stumbled along the hidden society of (though it had nothing to do with empathy, I accidentally tripped at the top
of a hill & rolled through some bushes to were they were living) Wolfs. They were rather excepting of us,
perhaps because of our vampire blood. They seemed especially happy when they heard we were searching for a
long lost "cub", though they were sad to see Carter to go. I guess they
allowed it only because not many werewolves are excepted by people, and the fact that Carter's parents wanted
him back no matter what. After him I have two more close friends, but they don't live near us. First there's
Lilith Lykaios, but seeing as she hates her first name, she insists that you call her by her middle name, Nyx
(pronounced as Nix). Standing at 5'4 she's the shortest of all my friends. But, if you value your health, you won't
tell her that. She hates her height and has a rather fiery temper. She really is nice girl, but certain things set her
off. Like bullies, cold weather, self centered people, spiders, snakes, arrogant people, purebloods who think
they're better than every one else because they think they're "pure", mean practical jokes, snakes, arrogant
People, sexist people, oh & did I mention arrogant people? They really piss her off. Her temper probably has
something to do wish being a werecat. I know, your thinking a werecat, that's impossible, they don't exist, blah,
blah, making it up, blah, blah, blah. Well, just so you know, there are such things as werecats (also known as
were leopards).
Oh, closed-minded people piss her off too, just so ya know. Nyx has shoulder length dark, mahogany red hair
& black eyes. Oh, & did I mention that Carter's obsessed with her? Must have slipped my mind,
funny thing really. I mean basically he's a dog and she's a cat, but he's crazy over her. Carter has been chasing
after Nyx since our first year. But seeing as Carter can be a bit arrogant, a slight play boy, & loves pranking
People, she can not stand him. During the school year he asks her out several times a day, and no matter how
many times he's rejected, he always asks again. She lives in Arizona though, so we don't see her that much
during the summer. The last member of our little group is Amin Haden. He has dark brown hair & stunning
bright emerald green eyes. He's the only "sensible" person in our group; he's sort of like Haze in that sense. He
a major book warm, & is probably the only one in the school who's actually read, "A History of Salem", a book
on our school. He's also rather shy and quiet & can go all "noble" on you sometimes. But that doesn't stop him
from helping us coming up with some pretty brilliant pranks to torment our rivals at schools. My mom calls us
her new age Marauders, which I think suites us pretty well, even though I wondering about the "new-age" part.
I mean for there to be a new-age, there would have to have been an "old-age" marauder group, and who could
they have been?
A few minutes later I heard them walking toward us.
They sat down on the grass and said their hellos; I smiled at being able to hear the low growling in Carter's
voice. To a human, you couldn't hear the difference, but vampires could pick up every little hum of a person's
vocal cords, and un-fortunately the faint sound of blood rushing through their veins. I said hello & tried to stifle
another yawn and Kathryn picked up the hint of sleep in my voice.
"you got woken up by the twins today didn't you." It wasn't a question, it was a statement, she had been
submitted to Haze & Aubrey's wake up calls too, & judging by the bitterness in her voice, she was still mad at
them from the last time they had woken her up.
"Yep" I said bitterly, throwing a glare in the twin's direction, which they just laughed at.
We spent the next half hour lounging about lazily talking about random stuff for amusement, but after awhile,
we ran out of things to say and Carter asked the age old question, "What are we going to do next?"
"Dunno" Damon answered back. "What do you want to do?"
"I don't know, that's what I asked you."
"I asked you first."
"No, I asked you first."
"No I did."
"Not uh."
"Yeah huh."
"Not uh!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
"Not uh!"
"Yeah huh!"
"No-!" Well, at that point the arguing between Carter & Damon was getting on my nerves so I intervened by yelling, "Shut up both of you your acting like immature brats!"
"No were not!" they both yelled back at me. So I countered by saying the one thing they could not retort to (it
was an un-spoken law), "I'm right your wrong, Nah!" There was only one thing that could be said in defense,
but, it still wouldn't change the out-come, it's, "I'm wrong your right, meh!". This was invented by Kathryn so
that the person who was told the "I'm right your wrong, nah," would still be able to retain some dignity.
Any way back to the problem on hand, what would they do next? Every one sat back in thought, the boys
comically scratching their chins. Stupid monkeys…….you thought fondly while shaking your head in
amusement. They were idiots, but they were your idiots.
"We could just walk around town in till something interesting to do come to us." Suggested Aubrey.
You shrugged, "why not?" You, Haze, & Aubrey got up from the grass and started to walk down the road. It
wasn't till you had walked about 100 feet away that Damon & Carter realized that you had left.
"Hey!" They yelled and rushed down the road after you girls.
I know, i'v taken a long time with this chapter, and truthfully i don't have a very good excuse ', it's just that i'v got high school exams, well two of them math and latin, seeing how thankfully the school board cut us 8th graders a break and only made us take exams for high school credit courses,which kinda sucks seeing as it's manditory to take algebra 1 this year, can't complaine about latin though, i knew what i was getting in to when i sighned up, i couldn't taken art 8 like my teacher told me too, but noooooooooooooooo i have to have to have the dream of being a psychologist which means a med degree which means i have to learn latin, but latin is pretty fun and my teacher mr. folley is really easy to distract! like today we spent 30 mins disgusing random stuff like how there is the whole under god thing in our pledge and on money and lots of other crap, basiclly the whole subject of sepperation of church and state thing and how it's really not happining, also did you know that the constitution does not give people the right to belive in any god you want too? oh, sure it's a privlige but it's not a right, which really pisses me off, cause im atheist, im proud of not beliving in a god, not needing to belive in god, and the fact that no one could ever change my mind, you push me i push back 3 times as hard, the fact that im alive and i exist is good enough for me, nad probably always will be......which SOME people (those people i know are currently reading this and know EXACTLY who they are) that i know REFUSE to belive and or accept, or ever give up about!............................any way im really off trach here, but, do you know that our nations theme is basicly susposed to mean one out of many nations or many people one nation? which is what Benjiman frannklin ment it to mean, but he got the genders wrong on the last word of it, sulum, and since he ment it to be refering to a nation, which it latin is a feminen word, but instead he made sulum, which is the nueter gentitive form of sulus, which means salad, if he had done it correctly it would have been sulam, so basicly the U.S.A's motto means out of many people one salad instead of one nation ', silly founding fathers, you would have thought that one of them one of cought that but, nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, sheesh the italins are probably making fun of us -.-;............................any way thats all for know, i'll try to post more this weekend since it's 3 day one, but, im not promising anything............................oh and by the way im changing my screen name too Live Like Your Dying, but im going to wait a few days so that any one who reads this has the heads up! see-ya!
