The Paranormals

Elyzabeth

I smile at Theresa and squeeze her hand. I shake my mind clear from a sudden memory I had just seen. Theresa's hand crunched mine and I winced. "Therese!" I yell at her. She smiles. I raise my eyebrows, she's asking for it. I felt calm and looking at Theresa's pale face I knew she felt it too. " Tyler!" We yell at the same time. Tyler chuckles. Tyler is technically my adopted dad, he has the power to change our thoughts and feelings.

When we come across company like wild hybrids or other vampires, we use Rosette's potions. Rosette is the talented witch in the family. She makes cures and spells and makes the most calming tea ever. Our family is different. We had to move because I think people in town were starting to realise that we didn't age. Tyler is the oldest in the family: 208 years old and he's proud. He doesn't have a single grey hair and never will.

You wouldn't call our family normal. Our enemies; werewolves. It all started hundreds of years ago Tyler told us. They made a line barrier as a treaty. No Vampire could pass their land and no werewolves on ours. But a werewolf went angry and passed the line. Since then, it's been war and blood. I am the youngest in the family; 79 years old. I looked up as Tyler turned his four wheel drive into the lot. The house looked huge but abandoned. Theresa and I hopped out with our parents.

As usual Rosette, West and Dylan were already there out of their red sports car. Such cheaters. I sigh. " Elyzabeth, don't say that!" Tyler said smiling. " Tyler get out of my head!" I wail. Rosette always wins at the fastest driving. Her new potions help them win. Dylan slapped Rosette a high five and grinned. Rosette sneered at me.

West and I glared at each other. West and I always fought. Ever seen since I entered the family, he has no longer been the strongest.  Our concentration is broken when Rosette saids " look a spy!" We all look up to see our neighbour. A 14 year old girl peering at us. "Rosette, let her go!" Tyler said through gritted teeth. Rosette always stared, her eyes were so unnatural, it would give us away. Rosette released her gaze."huh?"

I lean into Dylan and he kisses my forehead Tyler said  "I wonder how Edward was doing with Bella. I had heard they had trouble in forks. News travels fast!"Tyler frowned. Really? I thought. Tyler nodded. My father and Carlisle are good mates. Carlisle had his own clan of vampires though I didn't like the look of that girl Rosalie.

I should introduce you to my family. Our whole family doesn't age. Cleo and Tyler adopted me . First Tyler  was bitten by an unknown Vampire. His wife Cleo,he found stranded on the streets after her mother tried to kill her. Cleo's mother tried to kill her because her mum was really superstitious and thought she was a devil because Cleo could run really fast. West, Theresa and Dylan were actually a clan who joined us. They were lost and confused. And then there's  Rosette who almost got killed by the Visoli for exposing herself to humans but Tyler stopped it from happening. We are also enemies with the Visoli but we respect their rules.

And then there's me, who joined 78 years ago. I was almost 80! Which is teenager in Vampire age. I am the newest in the family which means yes. I can't control myself around humans. I try really hard but can't.
