The Tribrid queen

"Amberlee, get up for school! Just because it's your birthday, doesn't mean you get to miss school!" My mother teased as she lovingly tossed my hair and kissed my forehead. "Happy 12th birthday my beautiful daughter.""Thanks mom." I replied stretching and brushing my hair out of my face. I got up and dressed and headed downstairs to what i knew would be all of my favourite breakfast foods. My mom loved to cook and every year my birthday was filled with nothing but my favourite foods. Tonight there would be a wonderful birthday dinner and after, the worlds most delicious chocolate cake. Just thinking about it made my mouth water.I walked past the full length mirror in the hall, stopping long enough to notice I was finally starting to develop a chest. Finally! I thought to myself . All the other girls in my class had started developing months ago and they had started teasing me for being so flat. Never mind that I was taller and leaner and far more active then they were.

I awoke the next morning the sun was shining and Chris was still beside me. Growing up Chris and I had always been close, until he hit 15 and decided girls and football were cool and his sister wasn't... it was good to know push come to shove he was still in my corner. "Good morning sis" Chris smiled at me."I don't know what's so good about it." I complained. I had a feeling the life I awoke to yesterday was not the one I awoke to today.  "Can I tell you some stuff? Some I know, some I remember? So think it will help." Chris looked me in the eye, calmly feeling my ability to handle what he was about to tell me. I nodded yes.   " ok; first, I remember the day you came home from the hospital with mom and dad. From day one you were my sister, never did they call you or tell me you were anything different. You were introduced as my baby sister, and for as long as I live that is what you will be, I want that made clear okay?" I nod again. "Second, I kind

We stayed up late into the night talking and getting to know each other. Everyone I met was so interesting and all of them had such amazing stories about my birth parents. I don't know what time I finally got to bed, but I definitely slept through my alarm the next morning. "Damn it! I am so late!" I yelled looking at my clock. I jumped out of bed, threw on a pair of jeans and a tshirt. I pulled my hair up in a quick ponytail and rushed down the stairs."Good morning honey, looks like we all slept in today!" Dad sang out running to grab a coffee on his way out the door. "Happy birthday! Welcome to adulthood!" "Thanks dad! Gotta run." I ran out the door. I ran almost all the way to school stopping about half a block away to catch my breath. I went to step out and cross the street when someone grabbed me from behind and pulled me backwards into the bushes. I shoved the person away and spun around to beat the living daylights out of whoever had the full to put t

We drove for hours, until Blake was too exhausted to drive anymore. We pulled off into a little grove of trees and Blake put his seat back as far as it would go and fell asleep. I stayed awake and kept watch. I had slept in the car earlier so I wasn't at all tired; and the thought of someone sneaking up on us was enough to keep me awake for days. Hours passed as I anxiously watched every direction around our car. Part of me wanted to wake Blake up and start moving again, but the other part of me wanted to let Blake rest as long as I could. The sun was just coming up when my cell phone rang. I nearly jumped out of my skin having forgot I even had it. I fished it out of my jacket pocket and looked at the display. "Chris!" I said excitedly. I answered the phone just as Blake woke up from the ringing."Chris? Is that you?" I asked nervously."Amberlee! Thank goddess!" Chris said on the other end. "Please tell me you are safe and far away from this tow
