Well it rains and it pours
When you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing
I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave
This alone, you're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band
I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

I turned slowly to meet a pair of dark eyes, almost black in color. They belonged to a man with coppery curls, and pale skin. His eyes radiated hate and I felt the hair on the back of my neck prickle.
Suddenly thoughts flashed through my head
"Come on sissy!" Called Edward in his joking voice.
He was 10 I was 4, I had to run to keep up with his long strides but I didn't care.
"Edwaarddd?" I asked in my soft girly voice.
"Huh?"
"Where are we going?"
"Places, we will see the world some day, just me and you." He had promised.
The sun shone of his pale skin and coppery curls.
"Promise me something."
"What?"
"You will never leave me, no matter what happens."
"Elisibeth, you are so silly sometimes. But I promise, I will never leave you." He had kept that promise, until the night he had disappeared.
I still pictured his 18 year old face, and something about that memory jolted me.
The face of the Edward that was my brother floated into my mind, and I compared it to the face of this person.
They matched exactly, besides the eyes, the cold eyes that seemed to hate me instantly.
That's when I saw 'her', a girl his age holding his hand. Staring at him with eyes of love and seemingly impervious of his glare at me, until just then.
Her head spun making her soft hair fly around with her head, and ending up laying on her shoulder with a gentle lightness. Her eyes gave me a questioning look, as though wondering why HE was looking at me. Then her gaze turned back to HIM.
"Edward, what's wrong?"
"Edward, what's wrong?" I asked worried as my brother fell to his knee's, he seemed so pale and sweaty. "MOMMY!" I called when he didn't answer, he just fell to his side breathing heavily, his eyes cloudy and staring past me.
Only my mother didn't come, I heard strange voices and naturally hid, my mother had never wanted anyone to know she had a girl.
My father had disappeared after he had learned I was a girl, he had wanted a boy like Edward. Only his own. Therefore, people who found out called me a Bastard. Mommy wanted to make it easier on me but sometimes like now it was just trouble. People would find out eventually, wouldn't they?
Turns out they had the sickness, like the others. People took them to the hospital so I did something, I forgot what but it broke a few of my arm bones. I had to go to the hospital then and so I was close to mom and Edward.
I was leaning against a shelf I noticed, my breathing was uneven and I was shuddering. I straightened and looked back at HIM, but he was not there anymore, he was disappearing with her into the crowd.
I headed back home and let myself in, Teer followed but seemed on edge, soon I understood why…
