A.N. Well I'm posting even though I'm think this is not where I wanted to end. I am having trouble in visioning what would be the fade out in a movie or commerial break on a TV show. Let me know what you think or where you think it should really end ; and where the new chapter begins.

The next day I woke up with a fright, Uncle Emmett was just standing there in front of me. Looking as if he wanted to suck my blood, which I'm sure he might really have wanted too. I am still half human after all. "Jesus Christ! Uncle Emmett, did you have to wake me up like that?" I gripped, "You, almost gave me a heart attack."
"Whatever! What's the worst that could really happen to you? Have you forgot that your half vampire still?" Uncle Emmett asked while laughing at my expense, "Anyhow, Are you still up to watching the movie? You told me last night to let you know when the coast was clear. Everyone's gone hunting for the day. I went last night. By the way I hope you're happy, because I had to say no to your Aunt Rosalie, this morning. And you know how hard that is for me."
"Well, I don't know what the worst could be. No, I haven't forgot that I'm still half vampire. And yes, I'm still up for watching the movie. No, I'm not. Especially if that means Aunt Rosie will be mad at me when she comes home." I stammered off in one breath, "But honestly Uncle Emmett, do have something against me? I thought you love me and that I'm your favorite niece."
"Nah! It's just I get a kick out of your reactions; you blush just how your mom used to when human. Yet, unlike her, Nessie you literally jump out of your sit when you're scared. I just can't help find it funny." He said walking out my room heading downstairs to start the movie.
Slowly, I got out of my bed grumbling about why of all the beings in the world; I had to get the most mind-boggling, crazy vampire for an Uncle. He can be even more annoying than my sweet, lovable Aunt Alice sometimes. I was just glad my dad was gone for the day, so I would not have to hear the lecture about how I should respect my elders. All right, I have to admit technically they are. It's just very hard to believe when I look the same age as my parents, aunts, and uncles; or slightly younger in the case of my so-called paternal grandparents. I finally got dress and meet my uncle downstairs, who had made me popcorn I could tell. I got a whiff of something else; it smelt like grizzly bear blood. It can't be, and if it was how did Uncle Emmett not drink it all on the way back. Grizzly bears blood being his favorite after all. I noticed that it was halfway though the credits went I entered the family room. As I was sitting down I noticed a Tupperware sippy cup sitting on the coffee table next to the popcorn.
"Thank you, Uncle Emmett. How did you ever manage to bring back some of the grizzly bear blood for me? I know it's your favorite." I asked. I hunted with my Jacob and parents sometimes. However, I didn't like seeing the poor animals faces while doing so. It always made me feeling so guilty; I made the mistake once to go hunting with Uncle Jasper and Aunt Alice. Can you guess what happened? Exactly, we wound up not catching any prey. Poor Uncle Jasper, he was all emotionally screwed the rest of the day. He ended up having to visit our cousins in Alaska to get emotionally stable again. It was then, Grandfather Carlisle, came up with the idea of collecting the blood for me. As if some human donated it. That night Granddaddy gave lessons on how to collect the animals' blood including me. His reason was that one-day I would be married to Jacob and be part of the wolf pack; and by doing so I could just take a pint or two depending on the animal not killing them. Of course the animal had to be sedated first. In turn making the pack more comfortable of having me around. I wondered about why I wasn't as comfortable as the rest of my family about the hunting. Before going to bed I managed to ask my dad through my thoughts. He answer was something obvious. The reason was that I was given blood in a bottle as a baby. It made sense, when you thought it through.
"Oh, com'on. Didn't you just yelled at me about loving you and being my favorite niece, a minute ago? You should know I would do anything for you. Even rob a bank, if you asked me to. As if we needed to with your Aunt Alice around. If it means not sucking the big, bad, papa, grizzly bear dry then that's what I'll have to do to bring back some blood for you. I love you, Nessie; you're my favorite niece. And, the only one I have." Uncle Emmett said sarcastically, "Now shut up, the movie's about to start." with a kiss on my forehead.
Daybreakers started with a twist, it showed a teenage girl writing a suicide note. The girl walks outside and waits for the sun to rise. The camera cuts to the note, which reads never change, never grow up, and ends with the usual can't go on. The camera flashes back to the girl who starts to scream, covering her face with her hand as the sun starts to burns her. Then shows her dusting away just like in the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
You hear her screaming until she is totally dusted. In which, I hear my Uncle Emmett start to chuckle at the idiocy of the plot. Without needing my dad's gift I can tell the reasons my uncle is finding the start so funny. The major reason is that true vampires don't burn in the sun. Real vampires sparkle like a flawless 10 caret diamond bought at Tiffany's. The second reason the writers couldn't come up with something new. Ok, I must admit they had the teen aged girl covered in fiery flames while she was dusting away. Other than that, there was nothing original to the opening plot.
The piece de resistance was that the girl is sitting in her front yard facing east, supposedly set somewhere in Kansas. One can only assume. The credits finally come up. The camera scrolls across as it does, in Gone with the Wind, but shows the land being deserted on the surface as in Mad Max. It finally ends up in the subway of what the viewer naturally assumes is New York City. Again the movies takes a turn, it shows a homeless man standing in front a store window watching the nightly news. He turns around and you see a sign that reads starving need blood hanging around his neck. The homeless man turns out to be a vampire; he shows his fangs at a rich couple that is ignoring the him. A few second latter, you're introduced to the lead character. I was now giggling myself, because it shows just the clothes of the lead; reminding me of the invisible man. I was starting to see why my Uncle Emmett enjoyed these movies. They made our life seemed like a joke. Which is the motto that Uncle Emmett lives by.
The next shot shows the lead character being scanned by a security system. When it's done, the computer screen reads and a computerized voice says, ("Chief hematologist Edward Dalton approved."). I started laughing out loud, which got my Uncle Emmett to turn around asking me "What's so funny Nessie?" while looking at me, as I was crazy.
"Oh really! I thought Aunt Rosalie was the only true dumb blond in the family." I remarked. "Uncle Emmett, look at the guys name." I paused the movie and rewind it so he could see the name again.
"I still don't get it."
"He's name is Edward Dalton right?"
"Yes."
"Now, what's dads name?" I continued on.
"Edward Anthony Mason." Uncle Emmett replied.
"No, not his real name." I said in exasperation, "The name he goes by for the sake of appearance."
"Oh!" I could see the light bulb coming on inside Uncle Emmett's head as it finally clicked in.
"Yep. Edward Cullen. The last name is just slightly different. Dad's last name is Cullen. C-U-LL-E-N," spelling it out I continued, "The character last name is Dalton. D-A-L-T-O-N."
"I get it now. And, I thought you love your Aunt Rosalie. I dare you to tell her what you told me." Uncle Emmett said ruffling my hair.
I started up the movie and we find out the character has a little more in common with my dad. He regrets being a vampire. That Edward shows it a little in the conference meeting, saying that if they're not careful the whole human population will be wiped out. Of course, my uncle laughed Ethan Hawkes' brooding face. It was my turn to look at Uncle Emmett as if he was crazy. Not really that far to fetch is it?
"What now? Can a person watch a movie in peace?" He sulkingly asked me.
"I just don't get you. How could you miss the obvious Uncle Emmett? Yet, you pick up on the brooding face?" I asked pondering in return.
"Well, I wished right now I had your gift Nessie. It would be so useful to show you how your Dad was, before he met your mother." Uncle Emmett sighed and the put the movie on pause, continuing on "You know most of our stories right?" I nodded to let him know to continue. "Well, your dad always thought of us as soulless monster with the exception of Carlisle. Your dad always had that exact same face as Ethan Hawkes has. He still thought no one should choose such a life. Yet your mom Bella always thought differently and insisted that you dad had a soul. He kept that brooding face, became worse on the day of your mom 18th birthday when your Uncle Jasper slipped up."
"Yes. I kind of know all of that but Dad isn't so broody anymore. I don't see why you're laughing."
"Yeah, I guess it would be more of an inside joke. You'll understand it better next time we watch it with Uncle Jasper."
I just turned to Uncle Emmett and shrugged my shoulders, simply said "okay".
