Day 1 - Dusk
Tonight the only worry I have is am I ready. With everything that had happened am I truly ready for tomorrow? I question my sense of self awareness and wander through the house. No one is home, like usual, so cold microwave dinner for one. Again. You would think with two parents and five siblings someone would be above ground in the actual house. I guess that's what happens when you're the only hybrid with more were than vamp. I should've died early in life being the runt of the litter, no one expected me to live to my teenage years, much less sixteen years old. The downside is none of my other siblings go to high school with me; I'm all alone in the human world. With no friends and no sense of belonging I have no hope of fitting in anywhere in their world.
*CRASH*
I whirl around, crouched low. I get tackled to the ground by my youngest brother, Tyler. "Jesus Tyler, I was ready to rip your head off! What are you doing up here? It's not safe for you, its still daylight."
"Awe, but sis, I want to eat dinner with you. By the time the sun goes down you've already eaten and it's no fun. Nobody else has food like you do, they all snack and hunt."
"Ty, how about I meet you down below in twenty with two frozen dinners?" I giggle, he's such a sweet nine year old. I don't know why he's gotten so attached to me, everyone else is afraid I'll shatter or something.
"Aw-right! I'll be waiting." He does a fist pound and runs back down the hallway and down the stairs; I swear he's going to wake the dead with how loud he is. I make a second meal for him and start down the hallway after him.
When I get to the top of the stairs everything goes black, it feels like my brain exploded inside my head. I scream and pitch forward, the two food trays go flying down the stairs, I vaguely here a child's scream of terror. I'm falling, straight into sweet black nothingness. I feel arms wrap around me and a pinch in my neck. Suddenly I'm aware of my father holding me, Tyler sobbing behind him and my mother has the rest of my siblings in a circle around me. I touch my neck to find I've been bitten. Tears are streaming down everyone's faces. This is stage one of a runts rejection from our world.
