13 Degees Below 0
"It's cold. You should wear a coat or at least a jacket." Jakob said looking at me. "I'm a vampire. I'm dead, ok." i said giving him a smartass look with a smile. "I know. But i still think you should wear something other than a beater and cargos." 'He's always worrying about me like that. It gets annoing sometimes, no matter how he says it.' "Look dont worry about me. I'm fine alright. I bust heads for a living. So i think i can handle a little chill." i opened the door and got half-way through it before he said something again. "I know, I know, here just take one in case." he tossed his jacket to me and i cought it 'damn, he was right. Even though i was dead ,and proud of it, didnt mean my body could handle 10 degrees with a -23 degree chill. There was just no way. I would harden and break to peices only feeling a slight chill up my spine.' "Alright, alright. But remember i'm dead, you dont have to worry about a thing." I shut the door before he could say anything else and waltzed down the hall to the elevator.
The hall on the very top floor, where my apartment/penthouse thing was, was lined with casual lights on the ceilling and the walls were covered with elegant designs of thorns on the brim and dead vines ontop of the kick. The elevator opened to what should have been empty at this time of night but instead a woman dressed in a purple blouse and dark maroon dress pants and black ballet flats with her chocolate brown hair put up in a messy bun. She was holding a little girl's hand. The girl wore blue jeans and a wrinkled up shirt that had 'The Jonahs Brothers' on the front and a picture of them below the print. Plus both the Woman and Girl were wearing big thick coats that were unzipped. I stepped into the elevator and looked at Jakob's jacket. "He still wears this?" i mummbled to myself as i slipped it on. 'i gave him this jacket for his birthday a while ago. Heheh it had Linkin Park on it. They're awesome.'
The woman was a little shocked per-say by my appearance. 'Yeah i know that 37 peircings on my head with the ears and tail would alarm just about anyone. but it really pissed me off when people stared at me like i was a freak. Especially small children that need to keep their mouths shut.' She tried not to stare to much which is fine by my book, but her daughter. That little motherf*cking ratt stared at me with two huge baby blue eyes and her jaw was hanging wide open. My Neon Green eyes glared at her with a quick glance. Only she and i could tell what happened. 'By even the slightest glance, i can scar someone's mind with a warning, a memory, and a load of horror. Thankfuly i have control over that.' The little girl's eyes faded to a slatish blue but still had a hint of that baby blue. I had a smug grin but was looking in the opposite direction of the woman. "Tyler? TYLER!!! WHATS WRONG!!!" she screamed slightly shaking her daughter's shoulders.
The elevator door opened and the woman picked up her kid and ran out the door but froze. She turned her head toward me with hesitation and a face of grief. "Teach your child some manners." i said with a grim smile, then dissapeared into mist. Suddenly reappearing, with a smile and one of those 'Dude, you should've been there it was awesome!' laughs, inside the lobby of the complex. I looked behind the counter and Sally was asleep in a chair with the newspaper on her stomach.
A vibrating feeling buzzed in my pocket along with a ringtone of 'Through the Glass' by Stone Sour. Pulling the cell phone out of my pocket and humming along with the song, I flipped it open the screen was blinking green then black with 'Ratt' in silvery white text. "What is it that you want, Ratt." my voice sounded real ignorant. "Rat? Is that what you reffer to me as?" "Whatever, just. What do you want." i rubbed my temple with the middle and forefinger of my left hand. I could distinkly hear Fall Out 3 in the background and Matthew yelling curses. "uhhmmmm... I forgot to ask you... where are you going to?" he said pausing some in the middle. I sighed then continued "Elliette's place. Why." Jakob yelled "Stop! Get off of me! Ahhhh!" i heard a loud thud then crack with coughs and wheasing on the other line. "Jakob, are you ok?" "Hey sis! Whats up!" Matthew chimed oh so lovingly. "~MATTHEW!!! GIVE MY PHONE BACK!!!~" Jakob screamed "~Only if you can reach it!~" i sighed again 'Oh god. I wonder what the neihbors think of us.' "Matthew." a crash and another screach later i finaly got an answer "Yeah, what is it?" "~Come on Matt!!! You cant expect me to sprout up another foot er two just to get my phone!!!~"Jakob's whining almost made me crack up with hysteria, and my brother's comment didnt make the situation any more civillized. "~Oh i cant, can't i? Hows about I sprout another foot or two!?~" i chuckled a bit then switched hands holding the phone. "~COME ON!! DON'T MAKE ME GET SALLY!!!~" a door slammed with the sound of nails scratching against metal. "Matthew did his nails grow another inch already?" i could hear Jakobs fists banging on the door. 'He must've given up on trying to open it with the knob.' "Yup, their starting to grow faster. Not to mention sharper. He scratched my gorgeous face yesterday, it could be infected with all the pain i go through scrubing it in the shower."
