I stood there in the utter darkness. It wasn???t even dark, my eyes were shut. The only reason they were shut because I couldn???t stand to see the stunned expressions of the person standing in front of me. I couldn???t stand the expression of Marcus. I could picture his expression in my mind though. So I opened my eyes to see if I was right. I was.
His mouth hung open, his eyes stared deep in wonder at this sight that he was seeing, as his shocked expression clouded my mind with wonder. Had he ever seen my eyes, glowing the excited purple color they were now? Had he ever imagined my light platinum hair, shining in the moonlight? I never wanted him to see me this way. I never wanted him to see me in so much pain. But he did.
And I couldn???t take back what happens to me at Midnight. No, I???m not a werewolf. I am something far worse.
Chapter One
I couldn???t regret it. I knew it would be the best for me. But deep in my heart, I would miss Portland. Well, Someone had found out. AGAIN. So I have to move all the way across the Country. All the way to Florida. This meant??? Miami. No, I don???t hate sunlight, I am not a vampire. I don???t burn up and wither and I don???t sparkle. Here is the problem; I looked like the ???dumb blonde in Miami??? stereotype, I preferred a day on the beach swimming in the ocean, surfing or even boating. Not tanning and showing off my curves.
I was who I was though, and I couldn???t stop it. I was always Miss Popular. Prom Queen. I didn???t deserve it! I had problems! More than just staying thin, or making sure I always had a guy. I was a dark goddess.
I was almost finished packing, although me and my mom both knew that our boxes of stuff would be going nowhere but the dump.
Every time one of us screwed up and spilled the beans, or let somebody see us, we had to move far away.
How our powers work is very simple. Each of us had a special power, like reading minds, or even time travel. Except for me. I was the screwed up one, or the disability. Oh I had powers. Notice the ???S??? on the end of that. Everyone else had only one power. I had three. One for each time of the day. Day, night and in between. Midnight. At Midnight I go through the worst pain anyone could imagine. That one minute, 60 seconds, was my worst enemy. It was what defined me as a Goddess, as a queen. I hated it. My three powers were, mind reading, time travel, and killing. Yeah. Killing. How, you ask yourself? That is the power at midnight. I go into a terrible rampage. I kill or I kill myself. It sucks. I either have to kill myself before my rampage or go and kill a whole town. It means when the clock strikes 12 o??? clock midnight, I stab myself in the heart. I wake up in the morning, fine and rejuvenated. Basically, I am immortal.
When I wake up, I am back to my normal girl next door, tan, look. At night??? I AM beauty. My blonde lond hair falls into long curls that go halfway down my back. My skin shines, my eyes turn purple and glow.
Enough of my long explanation of my Goddessness, though. Back to my moving. It???s not like we weren???t going to move again soon anyway, though! We also were immortals, sort of. We pick one age to stop aging. I chose 21.
