and new people...

"Brixton, get the door!"
It's only 6:00 AM who could be knocking!
I rolled my eyes and scoffed at my mom and got off the couch and then walked out of the living room. I sighed and opened the front door. "Can I help you?" I know, I sound like I'm coming off rude but I'm just not in the mood to deal with people. "Hello, we're your next-door neighbors, we just wanted to stop by and introduce ourselves." The lady said as she and her family stood there looking at me. "Brixton, who's at the door?" My mother shouted from the kitchen. "Why don't you come and find out yourself!" I heard someone snicker to themself.
"Brixton Rose lose that attitude now." I rolled my eyes and walked away and started making my way to the stairs as my mother made her way to the front door. "Brixton stay down here." I groaned and walked back to the living room and flopped down onto the couch. I picked up the book I once had in my hand and started to read it again.
I felt someone sit next to me. "I'm Jordan." the boy stuck his hand out for me to shake. I didn't shake it, just went back to my book. "Okay, not a hand shaker?" I rolled my eyes. "Don't feel bad man won't talk to you once she has a book in her hands. Im Jonah! Thats Athena but she likes to go by her middle which is Brixton." I rolled my eyes again before getting up and putting my book back on the bookshelf and going up the stairs. "Brixton, mom told you to stay down here." I turned my head and saw my other brother Daniel.
"I don't give a rat's ass what she says." I walked up the stairs and went to my room and slammed the door shut. "Athena quit slamming the door!" I could hear my mother shout from downstairs. I walked over to the bookshelf that was in my room and sat in front of it.
Grabbing the photobook that my sister and I made, It was pictures of Laura and me. We never got to finish it since she died. I felt my eyes prick with tears as I open the book and flip through the book. It started with baby pictures of us, birthdays holidays, the first day of school, and about anything that we did. Laura and I were fraternal twins, she had brown hair, blue eyes. Where I had red hair, one grey eye, and one brown eye. I have Heterochromia. Heterochromia is when a person has different colored eyes or eyes that have more than one color. Most of the time it doesn't cause any problems. It's often just a quirk caused by genes passed down from your parents or by something that happened when your eyes were forming.
"I like your room."
I must have jumped five feet. Thinking it was one of my brothers Since I had the photobook in my hand that was what I had thrown at whoever it was before I turned around and saw it was not any of my brothers. "I am so sorry."
"It's fine, I should have announced myself." Jordan said as he looked around my room. "You like Nirvana? I've never known a girl liked them."
"What do I look like I like One discretion? Justin Bieber?"
Jordan nodded his head. "Well yeah."
"I hate pop music. I like heavy metal, pop-punk, and rock and some rap."
Jordan tilted his head to the side. "What bands do you like?" I started to name the bands. "Damn, yeah, I would never expect that from you."
I laughed and smiled. "Was there anything you needed?"
"Oh yeah! Your Mom sent me up here to get you. School starts in…" He looked at his phone. "30 minutes so she wanted you to be ready." Is it 7 already? Damn. "Okay. I guess I'll see you around." Since I was still sitting on the ground, Jordan tossed me the book back before he left my room. Right as I went to put the book back on the shelf something fell out of it. I picked it up to see what it was. It looked like a note.
'Dear Brix,
If you're reading this, I'm probably gone already and I want to say I'm sorry for what happened that night but it had to happen. I'm writing this as a spirit now since I'm gone
Now, you guys probably moved to another town because of my death. Im hoping you did.
Brixton I found something out about the family, not only about the family secret but another one. You and I were adopted. Shocked?
I know I was too when I found out.
Mom and dad didn't tell me I found out when I was doing the blood test at school, You know where we find out what our blood type is, ours is AB negative moms and dads and the boys are O+ and O-. I went to a clinic to do something testing and I found out. I'm so sorry I had to tell you through this letter but I had to let you know.
Now the reason I'm writing this is, is because we're not human, like how our family is, you and I are hybrids, well, you are, since I'm gone. We're half and half. Witch and a werewolf. If I remember correctly.
Hundreds, maybe even thousands of years ago, witches and warlocks and werewolves were enemies, they hated each other. But one day, the moon goddess mated the werewolf to a warlock. 17 years ago, that same warlock and werewolf got married and brought their community together and had two twin girls and it brought peace to them and it showed them that it was okay to love someone who was not in their nature.
Brixton, did you feel a rush after the car flipped go through you? That was me giving you my powers since you never activated yours, your wolf has woken up, she woke up the minute the car started to flip, and then it went into the water. She'll start speaking to you when she's ready.
Now you're probably wondering how I know this since it hasn't happened yet. Well, I didn't drink tonight, I only made you think I was drunk and when I smacked you, the minute I smacked you I regretted it. I know you didn't mean what you said. Nothing hit the car, I made the car flip and then go into the water.
Now stop blaming yourself for my death it wasn't your fault, it was mine. I did it! Not you.
I'm going to be with you every step of the way but you won't see me. The time you'll see me is when you really need me the most. I'll visit you in your dreams.
Just know, I love you and I'm really sorry.
Sincerely,
Your
Annoying, Awesome, Older, Loving twin,
Laura Jade Rose'
