Prologue
My brother Darren is 19 years old and he’s a vampire. Now that’s an unusual way tostart a story, but it’s my story and I’m going to start with the truth. Now my brother’s avampire so obviously I am too. My name is Emily Wyatt and I’m a pacifist. That’s rightyou read it right. I don’t fight, like ever. Yeah, I know totally cliché, but I just don’t likeit. Which is one of many reasons I drink blood from a pouch. And yeah I know it soundsgross, but it’s a better alternative than drinking it from a person. So yeah, I drink it from a pouch, but I don’t hurt anybody so I ignore the gross taste.I’m also a failure. I dropped out of high school to take care of my little brother Danny.My mom left us my senior year of high school and vampire or not Danny couldn’t look after himself and Darren went off to live with his girlfriend Sammie, a very sluttyvampiress. He abandoned us just like my mom. So I dropped out of high school and work at a bar to support Danny not that we need food, but nothing is free and we still live inhouse with a mortgage. The bar is a total dump and the men who go there are jerks, but it pays good and the owner, Fran is really nice. So that’s where I’m going now Fran’s bar and Grill.“Danny,” I said while I was heading out the door to my shift at Fran’s. “Don’t forget togo to sleep on time!”“Okay!! See you in the morning.” Danny shouted back from his room.That’s pretty much all our conversations consist of, and it’s pathetic. I feel bad for thekid his mom and brother both leaving him, but he can deal, and so can I. So this is how Icomfort myself when I’m at work and jerks grab my butt and offer me money to comehome with them. I know that we can deal, so why worry about the details?“How’s it going Em?” Fran asked.“It’s fine Fran. How’s business?”“Real good.”“So how’s Danny?”“He’s what he usually is. Unresponsive, you know the usual.”“It’ll get better. Just give him some time.”“Yeah. I know I just feel so bad for him.” I sighed. “I better get back to work. Have anice night Fran.”“You too darlin’ just keep on truckin’.”Did I mention that everyone in Fran’s bar were supernatural creatures? The staff as wellas the customers. Fran is a shapeshifter she shifts into a hawk. And she’s very proud of ittoo. When you’re new in her place it’s all you’ll hear for a while, but she means well andgave me a job when nobody else would. I must seem pretty pathetic to you huh? Wellthat’s why I’m telling you this story. To prove that I’m not a total loser.
Chapter 1 {Emily}
“How was the bar?” Danny asked me after I’d gotten home Friday night or Saturdaymorning.“Pretty good it was packed and I got a lot of tips. I still haven’t counted all of them yet.”I said.
 
“Cool. Are you like exhausted?” He asked me.“Totally. I’m starting to think that you’re a 12 year old psychic.” I said teasing him.“An almost13 year old psychic.” He said back. “Only a week and a half left.”“That’s right are you excited?” I asked him.“Who ever isn’t excited for their birthday?” He retorted.“Good point. What do you want to do for your birthday?” I asked him.“We don’t have to do anything.” He said his voice softening with every word.“Of course we do. It’s your 13
th
birthday. The beginning of being a man.” I said teasinghim again.“No. Don’t do anything. We need that money for your college fees. You are still going to‘night’ classes right?” He said putting quotation marks in the air when he said night because technically it was during the day while we were supposed to sleep. I just don’tsleep much.“Of course I am. I want to be able to get you to go to a good college and to do that Ineed to make more money. And to make more money I need a better job. Which requiresa college degree.” He finished the last sentence with me. He’d heard this speech manytimes since mom had left and I wasn’t about to have a double standard. “This is extramoney though.” I told him. “We need to celebrate your birthday. And that’s the end of thediscussion.” I said with finality.“Whatever. I just don’t want you to waste your money on something that isn’t a need.”He said.So I got out my pay as you go cell phone and called my best friend, Liz (short for Elizabeth because she absolutely hates that name) to ask her for ideas on what to do for Danny’s party.As hard as we tried we couldn’t think of anything to do. He didn’t have that manyfriends and we couldn’t afford a party anyway. But I was determined so we agreed thatwe’d meet up tomorrow after my work and her school to brainstorm.“We could take him to a movie?” Liz suggested.“Uh… He’s not into all that crap Hollywood puts out there. Plus he’d be around humansand I’m not sure if he’s totally used to not feeding on them anymore. It’s hard you know.”I said to my best friend and fellow vampire earth lover.“So any other ideas.”“I’m completely blank.” I said.“Oh! Why don’t you take him to Fran’s for his first beer.” Liz asked.“Uh… Is that like legal?” I asked.“Of course. It’s what I did for my 13
th
birthday and you did too. Remember?”“Yeah. I remember.” That was a good birthday. I guess Danny would like that. “I’ll ask him. Just to make sure, but that’s a great idea.”“I know I’m a genius. Bask in my glory.” Liz said gloating.And just to humor her I said. “Yes my Lord.” I said in my best zombie voice.“So what do you want to do now?” Lix asked.“Well actually I’m gonna have to do my internet class now. I’m sorry, but I gotta kick you out.”“That’s cool call me after you’ve asked Danny whether or not he likes the idea.” Shesaid then she left.
 
The next day I was of course exhausted. I had stayed up practically all night taking myclass trying to understand the physics portion. Ironic I know since I’m pretty much afreak of nature, but it has always intrigued me how off humans can be when guessing thesecrets of the universe. Even though they really are trying hard. For example they figuredout about global warming. Which could even affect us mythical creatures. Because if there are no humans how are we supposed to live. Vampires, shapeshifters, witches,mummies, fairies, and on and on will all be affected.So yeah I’m physics major in online classes getting absolutely no sleep, but not to worrySundays I sleep all day. Now I always feel partially guilty about doing this because then Ileave Danny stuck bored in the house while I sleep, but the bigger part of me tells me it’sa good thing. I’m earning money to earn more money to get him into a good college.
People Are ImbecilesI hate this movie. Where life is just asimportant asA piece of garbage and why does the media actthisWay. So why are people so self centered andvain??Why does everybody ignore the lesserfortunate than Themselves?? Are they all such imbeciles thattheyDon’t know what they’re doing to the world.No. MostPeople are smart they just choose to not care.Why??Because People Are Imbeciles
