Prologue
(Crystalline's POV: 1930)

It was my sixth birthday when I first got the news that I was to became a slayer. However, with my half vampire genes, I guess you could say that I looked to be more around the age of sixteen with the knowledge of a middle aged woman. I was getting ready to take a jet to New York City too go see a Broadway Show with my parents when everything had drastically changed for me.

"Crystalline, if you want to make it to the plane on time, I suggest you hurry it up right now young lady!"Mom shouted out at me from the bottom of the staircase.

"I will be right down, mom! Just give me fifteen minutes or so too finish up my makeup." I called loud enough for her to hear, though, when you think about it, it wasn't all that loud what with her vampire hearing and all.

I finished in fifteen minutes or so just like I said I would as I quickly apply my makeup. Taking a final glance in the mirror, I checked my appearance, giving myself a once over, and I was glad to say that I was genuinely pleased with what I saw.

My waist length long chocolate brown hair fell down my back in waves with little curls at the end just like my mother's. My makeup looked nice, as well. I had pink glossy lip-stick on, my eyelids had a nice shade of baby pink eye shadow on them and I had black eyeliner with some black mascara on my eyelashes, while the rest of my face looked magnificent. But what made my appearance seem perfect was my fabulous clothing.

I was wearing a nice pale pink dress, that had sparkles all over it, and there was a nice matching scarf that went with it that I had nicely wrapped around my slender neck, and my shoes were nice Milanos that were made in Italy, by one of my mother's best friends who was a designer.

I will admit that to human standards, I was a fairly beautiful being. Then again, all vampires were exceptionally beautiful to all humans. It was one of the many ways that they would ensnare their prey by luring them in with their looks. However, my parents and I weren't the type to drink from humans. We were animal drinkers. You could tell the difference between us and them, because unlike their red eyes, animal drinkers had eyes that looked of liquid gold. However, with me being a hybrid, I have almost a dark greyish-blue colored eyes as my mother did when she had me as a human.

After I finally finished looking myself over, I walked over to my bed and grabbed my purse, before I turned around and left my large spacious room. I headed down the grand marble staircase and saw both my mother and father talking silently to one another, so that I wouldn't be able to hear them even with my enhanced senses.

"Mother, Father I'm ready to leave now." I announced as I walked down the last few steps and over to them gracefully.

They both turned around and looked at me, both smiling widely, so that I could see their sparkling, perfect white teeth.

"You look beautiful dear."My mother states sweetly, while walking with a certain grace like a ballerina towards me.

I smile widely, and gave my mother a hug, and my father a hug too when I was close enough to do so. "Thanks mom so do you."I reply sweetly.

She just smiled her motherly smiles and slowly twirled around so that I could see her magnificent purple ruffle dress that she was wearing.

My mother was an exceptional beauty with light caramel brown hair that was straightened tonight in favor of her thick curls and put in a nice low ponytail that that made her hair fan out on her left shoulder for tonight's occasion. She was truly a sight to behold and I prided myself in taking after so many of her physical features.

Now, my dad, on the other hand, was wearing a nice black tuxedo suit, with a pair of expensive black crocodile shoes, while his bright blond hair was slicked back like usual.

"Daddy, you look rather dashing." I stated with a complimentary smile.

"Thank you, princess." He responded with a soft laugh.

"Are we all set to go?"I asked them with a wide smile, showing off my pearl white teeth.

"Yes, sweetie, we're ready to leave. But first, you should get your jacket." Mom answers softly, intent on making sure that we blended in well enough with the humans that we would no doubt be surrounded by this winter evening.

"Okay mom." I agree before gliding over to the closet near the double front doors and taking my cream colored mink coat off of the hanger inside.

Both of my parents grabbed their coats that they had placed on two of the hooks on the coat rack, along with daddy's fedora and led me out of the mansion. I gracefully waltzed out of the house without a glance back. While my parents looked liked they were gliding on thin air.

I followed both of my parents into our limo and sat in the far right corner. I reached into my bag and pulled out a book that I could read for the rest of the ride to the air strip.

"Sweetie, it's your sixteenth birthday! You should be enjoying yourself, not reading." Mom insisted, her bright red lips frowning as she looked down at the book in my hands.

Looking away from the pages of my book, I took a long glance at her before burying my face back into the book.

"Darling, it's no use talking her out of reading. She does get it from you and me, after all."Dad smiled adoringly at her, taking her hand and entwining their fingers as he brought her gloved hand to his lips and placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles.

I rolled my eyes at my dad comparing me to the both of them, even though I'm the spitting image of the two of them.

About an hour and a half later, we had finally arrived at the runway to the plane where other high class travelers were waiting for it to take us into New York City.

You see, back in the 1930's, they did not have private individual jets. Instead, they had a plane called a Douglas DC-3 that only the upper echelon of society, like my parents and I, could afford. As a matter of fact, they finally allowed the first female flight attendant to start working on the planes in May of this past year, but they had to be under five foot four and could weigh no more than one hundred and eighteen pounds.

It took about twenty to thirty minutes to get everyone on board and situated on the plane. It was rather small, but very spacious as there were not many people traveling.

I walked to the back of the plane and took my regular seat that I sat in every time I traveled. I was just about to delve back into my story when I noticed some strange guy coming over and sitting down next to me while causal staring right at me.

"Uh, who are you? And why are you looking at me like that?" I asked completely perplexed by the whole situation.

The guy continued to stare at me with his light greenish blue eyes. "My name is Jackson and I'm your watcher."

I looked at him like he was mad - or something on the lines of that - but I immediately called out to my parents. "Mom, Dad! There is a guy back here that says he's my watcher?! What is he talking about?"

Mom and Dad came running down the aisle of the plane and saw the strange man as he sat casually next to me. They looked around to make sure that they hadn't drawn any attention to us as father squatted down in the aisle and mother leaned down as to join in the conversation, but not be heard.

"Jackson, what are you doing here? I thought you were in Texas." My father asks him. I was startled to see that my parents seemed to know this man, but I had to admit that I was intrigued.

"It's great to see you again, Carlisle and Esme Cullen, and to answer your question, I was in Texas until I got a call from up top telling me that your daughter is the new slayer since the other two slayers died in Sunnydale last month." The guy who I presumed to be Jackson explained calmly as if he was catching up with old friends.

I looked at both of my parents and the Jackson character. I quickly took an assessment of him and his profile and noticed that he had a thick head of beautiful light brown curly hair and nice greenish blue eyes. I admired his smile and knew that it could out shine anybody's smile at any day of the week.

"Um... hello?! We're vampires!" I whispered at a level that other human's wouldn't have been able to hear. "Or well, I'm a half vampire, but I can't be a slayer! It would feel awkward killing my own kind just for living according to their nature! It would be like killing a lion killing another lion for hunting other animals!" I argued in a hushed voice.

"You won't be killing your kind, child. You'll only be killing the 'bad' vampires who attack and torture humans for their own fun and pleasure and kill needlessly when they aren't feeding." Jackson interrupted sharply.

"Hey, don't talk to my daughter like that ,Jackson." Dad growled out discretely.

My mom leaned forward, pulling me slightly out of my seat and held me in her arms as she looked pleadingly at the watcher. "Jackson, it's her birthday. Don't you have any consideration towards others' feelings." My mom questioned him in a sharp tone.

"Don't worry about it, mom, dad and Jackson." I turned my focus solely on the watcher. "When do we start this training the 'new slayer' thing, because I have a tight schedule that I will have to work out with my school schedule." I say lamely.

"Well, we can begin tomorrow night, since it's a Sunday."Jackson suggests with a noticeable Texas accent.

A Catastrophic Love Story:All Human: After a wild night in Vegas, America's Sweetheart, Bella Swan, wakes up in bed married to her previous Co Star, Playboy & heart-throb-from-hell, Jasper Whitlock. With the way things are going for them in their lives, what choice do these two long time enemies have, but to make a plan and go with it? But when will this fake marriage stop being fake?

More Deails: How did this happen? Isabella Swan, once the costar of America's favorite television sitcom, has been publicly abandoned by her famous husband, her film career has tanked, her father is driving her crazy, and her public image as a spunky heroine is taking a serious beating. What should a down-on-her-luck actress do? Not go to Vegas... not run into her detestable former costar, dreamboat-from-hell Jasper Whitlock... and certainly not get caught up in an ugly incident that leads to a calamitous elopement.

Before she knows it, Bella has a fake marriage, a fake husband, and maybe (or not) a fake sex life. It's a paparazzi free-for-all, and Bella's nonsupporting cast doesn't help. There's Jasper's punk-nightmare housekeeper, Bella's own pushy parent, a suck-up agent, an icy studio head with a private agenda, and her ex-husband's new wife, who can't get enough of doing good deeds and saving the world. As for Bella's leading man, Jasper's giving the performance of his life, but he's never cared about anyone except himself, and it's not exactly clear why.

Two enemies find themselves working without a script in a town where the spotlight shines bright... and where the strongest emotions can wear a startling disguises.
