A Fresh Start

We were at the airport. We had just arrived in this small town called Mystery Spell. It had been a long journey but it was worth it because me and my brother would get to start a new life.

There was a reason why we chose this town for a fresh start. My brother and I were not humans. We were hybrids. We possess magical powers and we are vampires as well. I don't think that there are many hybrids in the world. I doubt there are any at all! We chose Mystery Spell because this is rumored to have Supernatural beings. Shapeshifters, werewolves, vampires and even witches.

I tugged at my brother's sleeve while looking at him with pleading eyes. "What's the matter, Lil' sis?",Aiden asked me kindly. He is not the type of brother that most people call annoying. He takes care of me like my mother used to. "Let's go! Everyone is staring at us. I feel uncomfortable...", I said cautiously looking around. Of course everyone was staring! How often do you get to see to High schoolers with skin as white as paper, golden colored eyes and ruby red lips around! My brother sensed my discomfort and we quickly hailed a taxi to take us to Mystery Spell University.

We were starting school on Monday and the Dean had asked us to come and take our schedules. He said that his assistant will show us around the campus. From there we were going to Bartholy Manor. We had take jobs there as nannies of a little girl. In return they would pay us and let us live with them. Lucky for them we don't eat human food.

We were on campus when a girl who seemed to be rushing out bumped straight into me! Because of my vampire strength I kept standing straight but the girl fell on her butt. " I am sorry. I should have seen where I was going!" the girl apologized profusely. I grabbed her arm and helped her up,being careful not to touch her skin directly. Vampires have skin colder than ice. Any human would start shivering if they touch us. The girl got up and dusted herself. She looked at us with a spark in her eyes. "Are you new here?", she asked. "Yes. Hello. I am Aiden Winter and this is my twin sister, Anna.",my brother introduced us while smiling at the girl. The girl turned a visible shade of red after seeing my brother's warm smile. "Could you tell us where is the admission office?", Aiden asked her politely. "Follow me. After we get your schedules I will show you guys around campus.", the girl said cheerfully."Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sarah Osborne.", she said smiling at me. I smiled back. I don't know why but there was something about her smile that made me very comfortable. "So how far do you like the town?",Sarah asked me."I haven't seen much of it but......... so far,so good.",I replied while stuffing my hands in my hoodie's pocket."Hmm.......how about I take you guys to town and show you around?", Sarah asked. "Thanks for the offer but we have to meet our employers.",I said declining her offer politely. We have to meet Mr. Bartholy this evening."Who are your employers, if you don't mind me asking?", Sarah asked us cautiously. " Have you heard of the Bartholy family?",Aiden asked Sarah. Sarah gasped. I looked at her and saw she was stunned and a little scared."Are they your employers?", Sarah asked with wide eyes. We nodded."Sorry, I have to go.",Sarah said awkwardly and walked away.

I watched her go and a minute later she disappeared around the corner of the street."What the hell just happened? Why did she leave all of a sudden?", Aiden asked me staring at the place where Sarah disappeared."Dunno, Bro. But something tells me there is more to it than meets the eye.", I replied. We picked up our bags and headed towards Bartholy Manor."Did you hear anything fishy in her head which made you say that?", My brother asked me. I am a mind reader. Some vampires have one special ability apart from the advantages of being a vampire. It could be mind reading, controlling the four elements, torture gaze, electric power, telekinesis, ice power, mental shield, physical shield etc. I am different from other vampires because I poses all of the mentioned powers and I keep discovering more new powers! My ice power is more dominate compared to the other powers so I always wear leather gloves on my hands . My brother had dominate water power which meant he could control water well. I shook my head."Nothing fishy but she seemed a little scared. I don't know what is the story between Sarah and the Bartholy Family. But I have a hunch that it is not good.", I said and with that we continued towards Bartholy Manor.

After walking for a few minutes, we saw the Manor. Boy, this place is even bigger compared to our building in Forks! The house covered an area of around 10000 square feet, it had a huge fountain at the center and at the side of the Manor was a path that lead to the forest beside it. Actually, the Manor was surrounded by the forest. Good for us, we can go hunting there. Normal vampires drink human blood to survive but not us. We are scared of being monsters so my brother and I hunt animals to satisfy our thirst.

We walked towards the front door which had a handle that looked similar to a devil. Aiden knocked on the door, twice and waited. I avoid touching things without my gloves because I am afraid that I will freeze the thing in my hand. Suddenly the door flung open and infront of us stood a guy who looked around our age. He was well built, had long blonde hair that covered his forehead. He was wearing a white long sleeved t-shirt and black pants. He had pale white skin like us but a tone or two darker."Hello. I'm Aiden Winter. This is my twin sister, Anna. We are the nannies hired to take care of Lorie.", my brother said calmly. But the guy ignored him and kept staring at me. I stared back at him. He had a strange fire dancing in his eyes which I was all too familiar with. Every guy at my previous school kept staring at me with the same look in his eyes. My brother noticed this and cleared his throat."Excuse me Sir, I am looking for Mr. Bartholy.", Aiden repeated."Man, are you always this talkative? Could you please shut up?", the guy snapped at my twin. I frowned. I can't take it if anyone says anything offensive to my twin. It goes the same for him."Don't you have manners or do you just like being a jerk?" I snapped at the guy."Ohhh...so you can talk. I thought you were a mute!", the guy replied."Boy, your parents must have been really unlucky to have a brat like you for their son. Why don't you go back inside and stick a tape on your mouth? That should prevent you from talking on and on like a radio!", I sassed him. He stood there stunned while I smirked at him. I was very good at putting people in their place. Suddenly a voice came from behind the guy, which sounded furious."Drogo Bartholy! Where are your manners?! Do you keep guests standing outside the house?!", the voice said.

The blondie whose name was supposedly Drogo turned around and glared at the person who was standing behind him."Let them in. Father hired them to take care of Lorie.", the voice ordered Drogo. Finally, these guys let us in.

This is the fresh start that we were waiting for. Let's hope this year goes smoothly. I hope so.
