Life or Death by Justine Joseph (classic books to read txt) 📕

"Help me!" someone yells. "Why doesn't anybody help me." I wake up covered in my sweat, the covers drenched.
My name is Hope. My alarm rings, and I turned it off. I get up take a shower. I go to my dresser to brush my hair. When I look up I see brown eyes staring back. SCARED brown eyes. I try to forget the nightmare I just had, while I brush my black-brown short hair. The person screaming sounded like me but wasn't me. She was older, pregnant. That wasn't the only things that were different there was also short while I was tall, had long brown hair, and black eyes. The only things we had in common was our black skin. I put on a white tight button down shirt, black tight mini skirt that reached my mid-thigh. Went downstairs and got some Lucky Charms. Down came my mom with her normal all black pajama"s and a short black shirt in her hand. "Here wear this sweety it looks better." I took the shirt and put it on. "Thanks mom." The shirt wasn't that short it covered my stomach but stopped at my bellybutton. I packed my things and headed out the door. There waiting for me was my friend Crystal and her boyfriend Hunter. Crystal has blue eyes and blond hair. Hunter has green eyes and he also had blond hair. They both had fair skin. "Hey Hope whats up?" "Nothing much." I see Crystal and Hunter have not retracted their fangs. Crystal and Hunter plus most of the student body are either vampires, angels, or human. I am an angel even though my parents are vamps. You find out what you are when your 10 years old. It's been a few years since my wings have sprouted. I found out that I was adopted but never told my parents I knew cause they would seriously kill me. The humans coming to our school know nothing about us. "Come on Hope we're going to be late." "No we won't you guys are super fast and I can fly." "True but they can't see us remember." "How can I forget we hardly see them and they hardly see us." We went into Hunter's Bugatti. We arrived at Angels and Demons High School. I never noticed the schools background but I knew that something was off, something that would change my life forever. We went into our first period-Magic Under Control-where we learn how to control bloodlust and wanting to stretch out our wings. I was passing the class, make that the only one passing. Some how being an angel has an advantage. One thing that scares me about the class is the other angels. They have a weird desire for blood. How come I don't have any. I see one of the angels, I think her name is Nightfall, talking to Crystal. I see Crystal has no blood on her maybe's she's learning how to control her thirst or Hunter licked it off her lips. The other thing I noticed is that Nightfall has fangs. She was a vampire. I looked around the class were all the angels actually vampires. Daniel, Lily, Hannah, and Nightfall all the angels had fangs. All except me. Come to think of it I've never seen their wings and they drink blood. DRINK BLOOD how did I miss that. Then it hit me they were all pretending why? I walk over to Crystal and Nightfall. They saw me coming,well Crystal saw me coming. She told Nightfall that she wanted to talk to me. "Hope what's wrong?" "Nothing but can you I tell you something?" "You know you can tell me anything." "Well I just noticed that Nightfall and all the other angels except me of course have fangs. Have you?" "Well it took shorter time for you to figure that out, what else?" "I know their vampires, but why would they pretend to do that, why?" "Cause sweetheart their going to try to kill you but me and Hunter won't let them." "What does this have to do with me and why are they going to kill me?" "Because sweetheart it's in a prophecy that you and others including me and Hunter can save the humans and other kinds of mythical creatures from the evil vampires." Now I knew how to deal with Crystal she puts her words into my thoughts do the same back cause she wants this to stay between us.
