A/N: Like I said, this will be a bit different from the last post, hopefully better! Thank you all for being so polite I know that the characters may seem a bit OOC but hey...it IS fan fiction. I would also like to thank a special person who encouraged me to put this story back up! (Theyoungflute13) :D

One: Twilight High, Home Of The Phantoms!

Life is full of challenges.

Some we risk to take, some we avoid.

However, many of us don't see life that way. I guess it all depends on what life you have.

Take mine for example.

My Father is an absolute drunk, the only thing he cares about is how much alcohol he's got in the fridge and how many chicks he can get to sleep with him for the next party he's invited too. Oh, and lets not forget the fact how abusive he is!

Like, hitting me across the face when I look at him a certain way that he doesn't like, or throwing empty beer bottles at me when I forget to do the laundry.

It's awful, I know. Try living with it.

However, none of this has happened until we lost my mother a few months ago to Hemophilia. Hemophilia is a genetic disease my mum had suffered through out her entire life, Its a bleeding disorder that slows down the blood clotting process. People who have Hemophilia are likely to loose more blood then anyone else would from an injury or surgery.

There is no treatment for Hemophilia, unless you count infusions doctors may give you to help stop the bleeding or blood donations if you've lost too much blood. Since there was no blood match in our family to mum, infusions were her only choice.

Until it came to that muggy Saturday morning on June 5th when she was in the middle of a huge argument with my father and she suddenly lost her footing and fell down the stairs, cutting her leg on the glass vase we had by the bottom of the stairs. I rushed to call 911 while Dad tried to stop the bleeding, but by the time the paramedics got to our house, mum was already long gone, they couldn't save her.

Now, we're here in Twilight Town for a new start. My father's got a new job as an engineer at the train station and no matter how much of a drunken psycho he came out to be, staying in the house were mum died was to much for him, it was too much for all of us. I'm just glad Nora didn't see Mum falling down the stairs and bleeding to death.

Nora is my little sister, and most older siblings couldn't stand their younger ones but, Nora is everything to me. Nora is my whole world, the reason why I'm living, why I put up with our asshole of a father.

Nora needs me, since she has Hemophilia too, she was recently diagnosed with it during her last physical a week after her fifth birthday a couple weeks ago, the news felt like a bullet in my heart. Why couldn't it be me? Why did it have to be her?

I'm not going to loose her the way I lost Mum. I promised her and swore on our mother's grave that I won't let anything happen to Nora. I don't care if this means I won't have time for friends, parties, or guys. I didn't care, if this is what it takes from keeping my baby sister from dieing, so be it. Sure I would be the one looking out for her and not dad, but you and I both know that it's safer that way, turns out I'm the adult in the house.

It's for Mum's sake, and Nora's.

Turning around slowly on my side in my little twin-sized bed, I stared out the family photo of the four of us, the Christmas before Mum died. You would of never believed it if you saw how healthy and beautiful she looked in her grey-tunic sweater, her hair in cute-long spiraled curls, but it did, she was gone.

Reaching my arm out, I traced her face gently with my pointer finger, feeling the smooth and cold frame of the photo against my skin.

"I'll take care of her, I promise." I whispered as if my mom was in the room with me, but we all knew that was impossible Dropping my hand from the photo, I kicked the warm bed sheets off, instantly greeted by the cold and crispy morning air, the sun glowing and reflecting of my walls which were a ghostly-white color along with the rest of the furniture in my bedroom.

I like white, its always bright and never seems to bring me down.

Walking over to my wardrobe I picked out a simple white dress with a cute ruffle-like design at the bottom, I had to get dressed quickly and have Nora and myself ready for school so I wouldn't miss the bus.

It was a five minute walk to the preschool from our house, the bus came at seven-thirty and I usually get Nora there by seven twenty-two leaving me with seven minutes to make it back home to the bus.

I tip-toed in her little pink bedroom to see her laying on her stomach with her little legs dangling off the edge of the bed, it was still a little big for her.

"Don't fall!" I warned running over to her to playfully tug at her hips, she giggled before she released her grip from the the bed sheets to loud perfectly on her little feet.

She looked up at me in triumph. "See!? I did it!"

"That is because you're the best! Good work, kitty!"

Kitty was her nickname, Nora loved cats.

"Do I have to go to school? Nobody likes me there..." Nora pouted as I picked out an outfit for her to wear, which was a frilly blue dress with white stockings. I wasn't surprised that nobody talked to me on my 1st day of school yesterday, but for Nora?

Sweet, playful, kind little Nora? Huge surprise.

"Why do you say that? Did you talk to anyone?" I asked as I helped her get dressed, sometimes I was a bit to gentle with her, call me paranoid but its better to be safe then sorry, I just couldn't let the chance of her tripping and falling.

"I dunno...I just don't..." She arched her tiny shoulders in a little shrug. "They just don't like me!"

Great, shes already starting to rub off on me.

I couldn't hide back a smile as I pulled her in for a hug, being a little to gentle then necessary.

"Just give it sometime! If they don't like you, you know somebody who always will!" Nora giggled, putting out of the hug to poke my nose.

"You!"

"That's right!" I nodded before getting up to my feet, holding out a hand for her that she almost took instantly.

"What's for breakfast?" She asked as we made our way down the hall as quietly as we could not to wake darling-dear dad hell would break loose if that happened.

"How about my famous waffles?"

Nora's bright blue eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Yes, please!"

"Alright, hope your hungry!" I replied as I picked her up in her arms, her auburn-colored hair tickling my face as she hugged me around the neck.

"You'll know if you hear my tummy!"

I smiled at that, if only I had the disease instead of Nora, if I had the wish to switch with her, you would not have to ask me twice.

It was a miracle I've made it back for the bus in time, since Nora got into one of her clingy moods by holding onto my legs and refusing to let go when we arrived at her preschool. I could hear the kids laughing and whispering at me as I walked by them, it was a bit embarrassing but it would have been worse if I was chasing after the bus!

"That new girls a freak!" I heard a girl with short black hair say to her friend who had brown hair, I ignored their snickering and comments before taking my seat at the back of the bus, putting out my sketch book I started to draw the outline the shape of my mothers face. Drawing is one of my possessions and strongest talents. The only thing about going to Twlight High that excited me was their was a talent show.

However, that was not the only thing.
