Chapter one:

Twilight.My parents named me Twilight.And I hate that that name.I mean,who calls his daughter

Twilight? Seriously?! We have this thing in our family that when each kid gets to age 16 he gets his

name for life.Until then were just whatever other people want to call us...And of course my twin sister

gets the good name.I sighed.We had just ended the "announcing names" ceremony of Danielle and

i.We bowed politely and exited the stage.My big brother Tray, who's 17and muscular, ran toward us

and gave us a double bear crushing hug."You guys finally have names!" he exclaimed.I punched his arm playfully. "Yeah,now you can finally stop calling me Sunny Moon"I said.He laughed and

Danielle rolled her eyes.Well,of course, Tray called her Vermillion ,which just happens to be her all-time favorite color.The three of us were walking outside to get a limo (yeah,were rich) when it happened.All

of a sudden, in the middle of. France,New York, or where ever we were,a pack of wolves came rushing from our right

side and another group of blurry things from the other side.Danielle started screaming and yelling for

help a few seconds before they even reached us.Tray looked dumbfounded as he eyed one of the werewolfs.He slowly shook his head .A few people on the street looked at us weirdly

: "Hey kids ,whats your problem?"an old man croaked. In the meantime the wolves and

blurry things met and suddenly stopped.I could now see that the blurry 'things' were... vampires (?)

with blood red eyes.I looked around in surprise.Except for us ,no one looked shocked or

surprised.Weird...They just stared at us for a few seconds and then went back to their business muttering about teenagers these days.

A tear rolled down my cheek as a werewolf gave me an angry look.. I couldn't believe it.We were 3 kids who lived a regular life at home.

Well,my parents were kind of weird .I mean ,they go on a date everytime there is a full moon.

Who does that? Besides ,if I died ,I would have to leave Ali and Melissa ,my best friends and

Danielle would have to leave Jade.Suddenly,one vampire turned his head and stared right at me.

"Can you see me ?"He asked stupidly.After standing traumatized for a few moments ,I found

my voice again and began to speak."Um...uhhhhh...yeah,I-I do"I stammered.All the others

suddenly turned to look at us,after hearing me speak.What was their problem?I mean , I knew I

was pretty and everything ,with my blond hair and blue -green eyes but still...

One vampire with black hair suddenly ran toward me ,but before he could reach me,five

others tackled him to the ground.And then suddenly, in the blink of an eye they were gone.

. . .

I woke up the next morning with a start and looked around myself.Phew! It was all a dream.Well,

the part with the vampires and werewolves.Duh.My name really is Twilight and I do have a twin

sister named Danielle, and an older brother named Tray,but like normal people I was named

when I was born.So were my siblings.

"Girls!" called dad. "Tray went over to Michael, so its me,mom and you guys.Come on down and

we'll eat breakfast together."

"Sure thing dad!"I called

As I was walking downstairs, I heard the phone ring.I heard dad talking in a muffled voice and as

I walked into the kitchen he whispered a few gruff words and hung up.Dad had a worried look

on his face.Danielle and mom walked in behind me and we sat down at the table.Dad hastily

rubbed his temples and joined us.

"I'm afraid we have a bit of a problem."Dad started, looking at mom.She sighed and nodded

for dad to continue.An intruder has called our house for the third time today.Your mother and I

were going to go out but were a bit afraid to leave you guys alone."he said.

Danielle looked bored."I'm going out with Jade and Liam tonight anyway"she said .

They all looked at me."Ummm...uuuhhhh.........I guess I could stay home alone " I said."I'll just

watch T.V." I suddenly saw the purple curtains move and a face laughing outside the windows.I held in a scream and tried to convince myself otherwise.Oh well, probably the wind.Mom and dad

held a silent conversation with their eyes, and momentairly agreed.Looked like I wasa quite the actress.

. . .

Later on that night I was alone, watching T.V. halfheartedly.My family had left as they said they

would.I closed my eyes and suddenly had a vision of me being scared and hearing footsteps,

but when I opened my eyes they disappeared.I shook myself and prepeared myself a bowl of ice

cream.As I settled down on the couch with the ice cream, I heard the doorbell ring and a few

knocks on the door.My heart started pounding .I put down the ice cream and went to the door

cautiously."Who...wh-who-who's there?"I called out.I looked through the peep hole.No one was

there.I looked again.Nothing.

No one.

I opened the door and heard footsteps crunching on leaves,

running away as I walked out farther.

I ran back and slammed the door behind me,breathing

hard.There must be someone out there.I ran upstairs to call Ali and Melissa, my best friends.

Three way call."Guys!"I said breathlessly. "I think thatandIknowthatthere'ssomeoneoutsidemy-

houseandI'mterrified"I whimpered.There was silence for a few seconds."What?"they asked

I repeated it again slower and explained everything to them."Are you sure?"Melissa asked.

"Yes" I sighed.They calmed me down,after quite a while.I said goodnight and went to sleep.O.m.g. I can see the

future,was the last thought before I tried to fall into a deep dreamless sleep.
