First Diary Entry
HAYLEE
I found myself in a dollar store, about a few blocks away from the cafe I was just at. I'd go back to meet the others in a moment after I'd gotten some things. I had about twenty bucks on me, and I knew I probably wouldn't use all of it. I got the kid, Joshua, a coke and some chips as well as a shirt and some shorts. That would be about 15 dollars. When I got to the cash register, I noticed a little black book for about a dollar. It had on the cover THE DIARY OF: in bold black letters and a bold black line under it. I guessed that's where you wrote your name. I grabbed it and put it up on the register counter with Joshua's stuff. The total was $16.11. I shoved the dollar bills and change into my pockets and walked out of the dollar store. I scooped Joshua into my arms and ran towards the cafe. When I got there, I noticed that my friends were outside.
"Hey, where were you? And who's this?" Hannah asked, smiling at Joshua who was sucking his thumb and staring at her oddly.
"This is Joshua. He was the one screaming and crying. I was at the dollar store, by the way." I said.
"This little guy made all that noise? How old is it?" Jacob said, shaking his free hand. Joshua glared and pulled his hand back, slapping Jacob's hand away. He buried his head into my neck and I could here him still sucking his thumb as his breathing regulated.
"He is three." I said, putting emphasis on the word 'he'. He wasn't a toy, therefor he wasn't an it. Jamie smiled at Joshua and then at me.
"Good job, Haylee. You saved a mortal life. You didn't drink his blood at all?" He asked.
"Nope. I didn't drink his dying sister's blood either." I said, proudly. They looked at me funny. "She was dying! I wasn't gonna take what little blood she had-"
"You didn't save her?" He asked.
"-left and- wait. What? I could have saved her?" I asked.
"Uh, yeah." Jacob said smartly. Smart ass.
"Ugh. Screw my life!" I said.
"What life? You're dead, remember?" Hannah smiled at me.
*SOME TIME LATER*
I was carrying the bag, and Joshua, in the dark house. The only light was from the t.v which was occupying about eight of my clan. Taylor, Kelsey, Skyler, Damien, Erik, Zakarie, Karla, and Zoe. Yes. I included Zakarie as a member of our clan. Damien's head snapped my way and he noticed the sleeping child in my arms. His eyes became enraged. Jacob had turned on the light and I could see his eyes better. Yes, they were definitively enraged.
"What the hell is that?" Damien yelled.
"A kid." I said.
"What kind of kid?" He asked, calmly.
"A human- kid?" I said.
"EXACTLY!" He yelled in my face, waking up Joshua and making him cry, "A FUCKING MORTAL MALE CHILD!"
"So?" I asked, rocking Joshua and shushing him. His cries stopped almost immediately. Damien sighed.
"Whatever. I know it's useless to argue with you because you'll just keep him anyway. He's your responsibility, if anything happens to him it's on you." He said.
"I already knew that." I said, walking off to my room with Joshua. I would introduce him to everyone later. It would be time to hunt, soon. I sat Joshua down, forgetting about all the vampire shit for just a minute, and sighed contently. I had something from the mortal world to connect me to my old life. I had Joshua. He giggled at me, and sat up.
"So. You're Joshua?" I asked. He nodded, smiling.
"Sissy use to call me Josh. What's your name?" He asked, his big grey eyes were orbs now.
"O.K Josh, I'm Haylee. Your sister made me promise to protect you and I will." I said. He nodded and yawned.
"I'm tired." He said, yawning again. I smiled at him and pulled back some of the cover and lay him under it.
"Go to sleep, I'll be here when you wake up." I said. He nodded, snuggling into the pillow. I heard a light snore come from his mouth moments later. He must have really been tired. But then again, he'd had a rough night. I thought back to his sister's bloody body and shuttered. To distract myself from the thought, I got the little black diary I had bought. I got a black sharpie and a black sparkly pen from my drawer. I wrote my name on the line in all capitols in sharpie then put the sharpie away. I opened the book to the first page and uncapped my pen. I ran my hand over the page, gingerly, and then began to write.

Dear Diary,
I feel like an idiot writing to a diary. But I suppose I gotta have something to do with my time. Seeing as though I'll be alive and fourteen forever. As you may have noticed, I'm a vampire. Have been for a while now. I'm just now getting use to it. Well about being a vampire, I am a part of a clan- or a coven, I don't understand much of it but that about sums it up. My coven consist of mainly vampires but we have three werewolves and one human child, Joshua (Josh). The vampires in my coven are different. They are nothing a like but yet most of them get along so great.
Jacob Malone. Ash blonde hair and white eyes. He's... hard to explain. He's like an open book, though. You can almost always tell what he's thinking. Especially if you're Hannah since she can read minds, but that's not the point. Jacob and Hannah. Always around each other, always around me and Jamie. Sometimes I wonder about them. Jacob, I know how I feel about him. He's a friend.
Jamie Jones. He's easy to explain. Black hair, black eyes. He's dark and mysterious, and protective of me. Whenever I'm in any trouble... he's there for me. I honestly don't know how I feel about him but I know it's a good feeling. I just know it.
Taylor Clark. Brown hair and red eyes. I hate him. I want to tear him apart and burn every inch of him. Yes, I know exactly how I feel about Taylor. I hate him.
Kelsey and Skyler Lannett. Pale red hair and bright honey brown eyes. Two gorgeous twins that are really bubbly, I suppose. I like them. They're pretty cool.
Karla. She never said her last name. But I'll find the unknown last names out soon. She has blonde hair and bright purple eyes. She has the talent to erase minds. She's bubbly, as well. I like her. She's a friend.
Zoe (Unknown Last Name). She has raven black hair and navy blue eyes with little white specks in them. She doesn't talk much so I don't know what to feel about her.
Paisley (Unknown). She has brown hair and silver eyes. Her talent is persuasion. I don't really talk to her.
Kent (Unknown). Brown hair and pale green eyes. No talent and sometimes I barely know he exists. That about sums it up.
Erik (Unknown). Blonde hair and faint orange eyes. His talent is to see past shields. He's outgoing and we've spoken a few times. He's nice. He's a friend.
Lane (Unknown). Pale red hair and bright hazel eyes. The talent to shield thoughts. I have never spoken to him except when he introduced himself. He's quiet. For now, that is.
Zakarie is a wolf. He has blonde hair and baby blue eyes. He's nice, and a protector of ours. He's definitively one of my friends.
Kyliegh and Ryliegh are his twin sisters. They have blonde hair and silver eyes. They're eyes turn blue when they shift. They're nice and trusting. Also trustworthy.
Joshua. His sister died in front of him. He has no idea who I am. He's just a three year old with blonde hair and grey eyes. He doesn't have to, but he choices to live with me, a stranger, along with plenty of other vampires.
This is my life, along with both Damien and my brother Mason. And Hannah. My twin. Well it's not really a life anymore. It's more of an... afterlife. Yeah. Afterlife.
I'm Haylee M'kenzly and this is my afterlife.
Review please(: There will be a diary entry in most, if not all, chapters(:
