Halloween

I know that it's not even October yet, but my best friend got her Halloween costume and I know what I want to be. I'm going to be a cat for the second year (not in a row). My best friend is going to be a witch, so, of course I'll be her cat, even though she's allergic to cats.
I was at Claire's in the mall and I saw this adorable leopard-print (I think that it was leopard-print, not exactly sure what that is, forgive me for being a dork) cat mask and tail, and at Rue 21 I saw elbow-length net-like black gloves that were also adorable. I want to have plastic fangs, too, and maybe even some fake blood, making my Kitty costume a Vampire Kitty costume. I have no idea what my brother's going as (fingers crossed that he isn't going as me, like he did one year, long story), maybe a hillbilly or zombie or a combination of the two? If my brother is reading this, do not take that idea, that would give me nightmares for eternity.
So, Vampire Kitty or just Kitty? Right now I'm all for the first one, but if I can't get vampire teeth or blood...
Another random post. Hope you enjoyed!

Twilight

I seriously don't understand the fuss about Twilight. I mean, sure, its well written, but I mean, SPARKLING VAMPIRES WTH.
Bella's just stupid- I mean, marrying a vampire that tries to decide whether he loves you or wants to kill you more? That's a little out there. And Edward can't decide on a personality so I guess he doesn't have one other than 'creepy stalker.' Charlie is completely oblivious to everything, but he's one of my favorite characters just because he's not completely insane.
In my point of view the only people that actually made the book worth reading were Alice and Jasper. Alice can see the future (how cool is that?) and, well, I've always liked the side characters, and I really think that the book should have talked a little more about Jasper. Plus I always wanted to read ahead to see what stupid life-threatening stunt Bella would pull next, and why Edward went along with it.
I was halfway through the book before I actually realized that all the mysterious events were indeed going to come to a point... three books later. And Breaking Dawn made me even more confused. They should have wrapped it all up with Edward and Bella getting married and skipping of into the sunset sparkling, because apparently that's what vampires do. Instead Bella got pregnant with some kind of half-vampire demon thing and Jacob imprinted on her, because of course you can't have a baby without your best friend falling in love with it.
So then the Volturi came. I fail to see a point in the Volturi other than "We need to scare the vampires so we can have an epic battle that's not a battle at all!" Vampire guard? Come again? Sure, they're supposed to be royal and everything, but... seriously. A vampire guard.
And then there are people who fall in love with Edward and Jasper and Emmett and Carlisle, mostly Edward. There are two problems with that, a) they all are in love and married, not to mention WAY too old for a teenager, and b) THEY AREN'T REAL. Its sad how people can willingly fall in love with a fictional character.

Ivestigation

Yet another body found, with the telltale black paper bird on top of the victim's throat. On top of what appeared to be a knife slash, actually, coated in the teenager's blood. Once again, I cursed the Birds for taking a life.
I guess I should introduce myself.
I'm Nicole. My last name isn't important. I'm nineteen. I work for the scattered remains of the FBI in North America, trying to track down those killers. Yeah, the Birds. Pretty strange name, if you ask me, but then again I'm not part of that secret gang. Not so secret anymore.
"This brings the number of kills up to over one hundred twenty, in this state" Hannah said grimly beside me. "If only we knew where their base was, we could strike them down."
I sighed. "Yeah, if only we knew. But we don't. They're killing people all over the Untied States. All over North America. We don't even know which country their base is in! We haven't caught a single one, you know. Not a single one in ten years of searching. There must be hundreds of them!"
The Birds had killed my parents when I was nine. I had looked after my little sisters until two years before, when the Birds had killed them, too.
"Should we go get the rest of our team, Boss?" Hannah asked.
I took a deep breath. The FBI had been scattered, most of them killed. We were now each assigned a 'team' to work with. I just happened to be a leader.
"Yeah, let's go get them."
My team was all girls, not one of them over twenty-five. I was the youngest, but also the leader. I'd made it two years without being killed or quitting my work. That was a long time, seeing as the number of murders was inclining.
So, yeah, I was the leader. My best friend and second-in-command was Chloe. Hannah and her twin sister, Kate, were very stealthy. They could move through a leaf pile without making a sound. Heather had joined my group only a month ago, with a girl she'd never met in her life until they had met a week before she came; Molly, who was mysterious and not altogether trusted.
They called us the Special Circumstances, after that one book.

Ditching ideas

So, no more Wynter Sora stuff. Ditching as promised. Joyful celebration and all that.
Just wanted to say that I'm taking my brothers idea, yet again. This story is about a secret gang called the Birds. I know, strange name, couldn't come up with anything else. They leave no fingerprints, no footprints, nothing except a small Origami bird made out of black construction paper.
Enjoy.
