    I touched the soft page of the book as the words came to me. Reality, I thought. Heh, so that's what it means...
    "Seth!"
    I turned my head, groaning. "What Sadie?"
    "Oh, pessimist!" She leaned down on the couch by me. "As if you need anymore peircings or make-up, and i'm the girl. Not you!"
    "Haha," I laughed fakely. Sadie glanced down at the page, reading the word.
    "Reality?" She asked. "What are you looking up reality for?"
    I rolled my eyes. It was so ovbious, well, to me. She didn't have to know. "No reason. Hey Sadie, do you believe in magic?"
    "Since I was, like, uhh, 7 or 8. I'm 16 now... Almost 10 years."
    "Well, do you believe in other worlds? As in, being from another planet?"
    In the breif silence, I prayed she wouldn't take me as crazy.
    "Yeah, I believe in that. Why?"
    I closed the dictonary. "No reason," I stood, plopping the dictonary on the couch. As I walked upstairs, I heard her pick up the book.
    "Reality," She pondered. "Huh?"

    IN reality, I am not normal, and Sadie didnt have to know that, did she? I wondered if she had gone home yet. When I closed my door behind me in my room, Kai was sitting at his desk, poking at his teeth.
    "Thy're growing Seth." He said, turning. "See?"
    "Wow, Kai, so plesant. Those fangs will never stop growing, you idiot."
    "Neither will you're strength... You're still as weak as you we're centuries ago."
    I hissed. "Kai, you think you're so cool because you're obsessed with blood."
    "I still think our family is messed up." Alice came in, her velvety blindfold on as usual.
    Kai and I looked at her in stupidity. "No duh," We said in unison.
    "Alice, you're the most normal one, and you have an eye problem."
    "Levae me alone!" She called.
    "And a temper problem," kai smirked.
    "Shut up you Vampire!"
    Kai stood. "Don't you dare use that against me you b--"
    I slapped Kai across the face. "Shh! The police are right next door!"
    "Ironic a police man hunting us down lives right next to us," Alice walked off. "Food time."
    "Stand still and I will m,ake you my 'food' time."
    "God, you two are so immature." I sighed.
    "Says you, Mr. born-on-Mars."
    "I was not born on mars Kai!" I yelled.
    This is an avcerege day in my family, Kai and I yell at eachother as Alice eats. Sadie is a close friend, she drops by once a week to see us. Our secret is dire, so dire she's neve rmet Alice.
    I walked downstairs. "Alice, hey, I really--"
    "Wanna tell Sadie? I'm not stoping you."
    I froze. "Really?"
    "Just tell her all of it, the whole story, and make sure she tells no one."
    At that, I began to think.
    "Before you tell her, can you trust her?"
