Being a vampire was so cool. The speed was great. The strength was the best. It was only the scorching thirst that bites. Ha! Bites… I crack myself up sometimes. I was still in my first few hours. I was still laughing over the Cullen's reaction to me.
"I'm so sorry, Mike. Really. Can you ever forgive me?" Alice kept on asking.
Funny how she blamed herself for Jasper's mistake. I wasn't complaining but I was going to take advantage of it.
"I'm thinking about it. If you let me go to school, I'd consider it." I smirked.
Edward growled in the corner where he was sulking.
"He is NOT sharing my room." Rosalie had said when she saw me. "Honestly, Alice. Can't you control Jasper better than this?"
It was Alice's turn to growl.
"I'm so sorry about all of this Mike. We take full responsibility and we will help you as much as we can." The mother vamp had said.
"Anything you need at all, Mike." Carlisle assured me.
"Hey, bro. Are you in love with Bella too?" Emmett grinned.
Edward growled again.
Jasper had come through the door around the time when I woke up. He wasn't talking to anyone except Alice. I guess he felt guilty or something. I had to think of something other than feeling sorry for my 'brother' who was feeling sorry for me.
I had taken to calling Edward Eddie. He truly hated me for it. I had used it not 15 minutes ago to Emmett's amusement. I remembered that conversation word perfect too.
"When can we fix the stupid burning in my throat?" I had demanded.
"When I feel like going." Edward shrugged.
"Come on, Edward! The guy is in pain! This is partially your fault, you have to deal with this." Emmett had tried to be responsible.
"Yeah, come on, Eddie! I'm your responsibility now!" I grinned.
"Never do that again." Edward growled.
"What? Tell the truth? Okay. Whatever floats your boat. I'll lie I love you, my dearest brother. I don't hate you in the slightest and fantasise you dying in the slightest. Happy now?"
"Never call me Eddie."
"Why?"
"If you want to live, never call me that again."
"Come on, Newton. Let's go and leave Eddie to his thoughts. Well other people's thoughts, anyway." Emmett smiled.
"Sounds good. See ya Eddie!" I called over my shoulder.
"Later, Ed-mister!" Emmett called too.
In the other room, we cracked up and howled with laughter. Emmett definitely was my favourite brother.
I paid for it. Ed still refused to take me hunting. I tried pleading with Em.
"Please? It hurts." I asked again.
"I don't know… Rose will be mad." Emmett sighed.
"Blondie will be fine. Please?"
"Don't call her that and I'll go."
"Thanks."
I literally dragged Emmett out the back door. Ed still sulked in the corner.
"So how do you do this?" I asked him.
We broke into a run. It was different than running to the other side of the room, I could really stretch my legs. It was very exhilarating.
"One thing you have to be sure of is that no humans are in the area. If you're hunting, it's hard to turn away when you catch the scent of human blood. Animals don't smell as good but they'll do."
"And if a human is there?"
"I grab you and run like hell."
"Nice reasoning."
"Thank you." Emmett grinned.
"How do you catch the things?" I asked.
"Just let your instinct take over. Your thirst will do the rest." He shrugged.
"How far are we going to run?"
"Just a bit further… okay, stop."
I skidded to a halt infront of him.
"What is it?"
"Do you smell that?"
"What?"
I lifted my face and sniffed the air. My throat raged. It was something that smelled too good to be an animal.
"Em? What is that?"
"A vampire dragging a newborn behind him as they run back because the vampire was too stupid to make sure that no humans were in the area before he set the newborn loose." Emmett muttered.
He grabbed my arm and ran, leaving the scent behind us and my throat searing.

Boredom. I hated weekends because if it. I grabbed my favourite book, Wurthering Heights and walked outside. It was a nice enough day, for Forks anyway. I started towards the trail and walked for about twenty minutes. I sat down on a log and opened my book.

Stupid, moronic vampire! My enemy lived with me. This was hell. The thoughts were bad enough. Bella slipped in and out several times. He didn't even want her, he just wanted to annoy me. I flat out refused to go anywhere with him until I cooled down enough not to rip his head off.
Once him and Emmett left 'Eddie' in the corner to go hunting – another growl ripped through my throat – I had stood up and gone upstairs to see how Jasper was doing. Alice was there too, trying to comfort him. Jasper looked like a wreck.
"Jazz?" I asked. He didn't looked up.
"Please don't hate me, Edward. I'll take care of him. You already saved him. You don't have to save me this too, it makes the guilt worse." Jasper whispered.
Alice had a hand on his back while he was lying on her lap. She looked upset. I didn't even want to see Jasper's face.
"I need help Jasper. This is my fault too. Please don't feel bad. Mike is thrilled." I tried to say without resentment.
"Thanks Edward. I still -," Jasper said.
We both looked over to Alice who had gone rigid.
Emmett and Mike… Bella is out there and Emmett didn't check… she thought.
That's all I needed to hear.
"DAMN IT!" I yelled.
