Hello!
This is my first Twilight fic and I am super nervous but I hope you all like it!
Little things you should know before continuing:
English is not my first language so there might be some spelling mistakes and such, I apologize.
Hopefully I will be posting once a week at least, but I expect at least one review so I can post the next chapter. I am not fishing for compliments, just hoping to read your honest opinion.
This fic is very special to me because I plan on righting at least two, also quite sizable, fanfics making this a saga that I call the Blood Calls Saga.
I should end saying that I do not own the Twilight Saga but I do own my original character Claire.
I hope you enjoy! ^_^
My name is Claire Mason and I am a vampire.
I wasn't always a vampire, obviously. When I was human I had a normal family that raised me well, I had a big brother but he was said to have been killed in the war although the body was never found which isn't rare to happen during war. I was fourteen when that happened. When I was sixteen I got married and I know nowadays it seems weird but back then it was normal.
I was born as Clarisse Whitlock in 1849, Houston, Texas. I had three siblings but I was closest to my brother Jasper, the one that died. I fell in love when I was fourteen years old with a boy two years older than me, his name was Stephen Mason. When I was eighteen, I already had a baby girl but it's not like I spent much time with her because that was when I was turned into a vampire.
I was walking down the street and was attacked, then there was fire and pain… and when it ended it there was a burning in my throat. I was turned to be a newborn fighting in land dispute, like it happens until this day in the South of the United States of America. They kill all the new born after a year and with me it was just the same, except that I had a gift and didn't know it at the time, and that gift saved my life and helped me escape.
I have the gift of projection or at least that is how I call it. I can project things from my mind and imagination to the material plane. Nowadays I project money, clothes, cars and things for my day to day; but back then I saved myself by projecting fire covering my executor which resulted in his death and my escape.
I wanted to go as far as I could so I went to Canada, where I wondered around the woods. I was hungry one day and when I finally found civilization it was a family camping site with children and their parents. A little girl with blonde hair and fair skin scraped herself and when the blood scent reached me I almost lost myself but instead I ran away and fed from the first thing I encountered, a deer.
Realizing that I could survive on animal blood I decided that I would do so because I couldn't kill someone's daughter or take away a mother/father from their loved ones and children like it was done with me and my family.
So all this leads me to the present. I travel alone avoiding my own kind and mixing with the humans. Now I am doing something very human, I am shopping.
"Do you like the dress? I think it looks amazing on you!" The sells woman says making me focus on my reflection in the mirror glad people nowadays are wrong about not being able to see yourself in the mirror if you are a vampire, which would be a dread.
My wavy blonde hair that is usually down reaching my elbow is now on a high ponytail, my skin is white as snow and my lips have a cherry color (not red as blood after all I am not snow white, just a vampire), I have an average height but long legs, my body when I was human was petite and thin but since I was turned not long after giving birth I now have some curves, the good kind of curves that made men look and women jealous and this dress was the perfect fit for me.
"I will take it!" I say excited.
When I exit the shop, walking among the crowd I notice two of my kind, a beautiful blonde girl that is probably one of the most gorgeous vampire I have ever seen and a vampire that is small and petite dark haired with a pixie hair cut that is also quite pretty. I am about to turn to the other direction and leave when I see that their eyes are gold like mine. I am curious because I never met anyone like me so I decide to approach and that is when before I can go towards them, the fairy like vampire is in front of me in a blink of an eye.
"Hello! I am Alice Cullen! I never met you before; I thought we knew everyone that had the same diet as us!" She says excited while her friend approaches us. "And that is Rosalie Hale! What is your name?"
"Beautiful…" I say and then shake my head. "Wait! No! My name isn't beautiful! I meant she is beautiful but that was supposed to be an inside thought not outside! Name… My name is Claire Mason, it's nice to meet you. I didn't know there were others like me… and I mean with the same diet and not about beauty not that I am all that especially compared to Rosalie and you know what, I am going to stop babbling now."
The girls giggle.
"You are funny and thank you." Rosalie says smiling. "Do you want to join us? We could shop together and get to know each other better…"
"Sure! That would be great!" I say excited.
"Amazing! I know which store is going to have the most gorgeous dresses for us to try on!" Alice says excited.
We enter the store and begin walking around while talking to each other, Rosalie was telling me her story and about her family and the others she met that also drink animal blood.
"So then at last Alice and Jasper joined us! But it was really strange at the beginning, not that Alice didn't win us over in instants!" Rosalie says making me laugh. "So, how about you?"
I am about to answer when Alice goes all weird.
"Is she having a vision?" I ask to Rosalie that nods.
We had already told each other about our gifts and they loved mine seeing they never saw such a gift before.
"Oh my god!" Alice says hugging me when her vision is done.
"What did you see?" Rosalie and I ask at the same time when Alice let's go of me.
"I will tell you once Claire tell us her story! Trust me, it's important!" Alice says and they turn to me expecting.
"Ok… Let's see… I was a normal human girl, I had a nice family and loved them all, and especially my big brother that died in the war. In fact his name was also Jasper, like Alice's mate. When I was sixteen I got married to Stephen Mason that was two years older than me, I got pregnant and had I child when I was seventeen, a baby girl named Louise; I was turned when I was eighteen, five months after having Louise. I was turned to fight as a newborn for the disputes in the south and after one year when they were going to kill me, I found out about my power when I projected fire on my executor killing him. I escaped and then after deciding I didn't want to ruin families like mine once was… I, thirsty, drank from a deer and realizing I could survive on animal blood it is what I have been doing ever since. I travelled all around the world and last year I came back to the U.S for the first time since then which leads us to me shopping with you girls!" I say telling a really short resume of everything.
"Oh! You were from the South? I was always glad I wasn't one of the victims of the Vampire War." Rosalie said surprised and kindly. "I am sorry about your losses."
"Thank you Rosalie, but they all lived happy and long lives and my decedents are still alive having a great life and that is enough for me so now I enjoy immortality." I say smiling. "Oh! And yes! I may have lost my accent but I am from the south! I was born Clarisse Whitlock in Houston, Texas. Later called Clarisse Mason but I decided to be called Claire when I became a vampire, I never liked being called Clarisse back then…"
Rosalie doesn't say anything and seems shocked which makes me confused. But then she turns to Alice wide eyed.
"Claire is Jasper's sister! Oh my god! Was that what you saw?!" Rosalie says shocking me.
"Yeah! I saw her revealing this and then we all going home where she is going to be invited to stay! We are going to have a new sister and have so much fun!" Alice says excited.
"Wait! What?!" I say shocked.
"My Jasper, he was turned while serving the Military to be a newborn soldier and stayed a long time with them until he ran off, and when we met I introduced him to the Cullens and their diet! I was waiting for him for a long time! And although now he is Rosalie 'twin' and called Jasper Hale, back then his name was Jasper Whitlock." Alice says grinning.
I don't know how long I stayed frozen; all I know is that when I gained my senses back Rosalie and Alice are waving their hands in front of my eyes.
"Jasper, my best friend and awesome big brother is alive? Well, not alive alive but alive not alive like us?" I say shocked and they nod their heads. "Why are we still here? I want to see him!"
"Let's pay for the clothes and go then! Jasper is going to be so happy that everyone will probably also be happy for a year or more just because of him!" Rosalie says chuckling.
Since I was on foot at the moment, we all went on Rosalie's car where I learned more about Jasper and the family, apparently I would have to get used to Edward's mate, Bella, that was human, at least for now because apparently a few weeks ago, when with the Volturi, they had to promise to turn her and it was decided she would be turned after her graduation which is something Rosalie didn't seem too happy about.
"We are almost there and I already texted Edward telling him that he isn't supposed to tell anyone a thing, only that Rose and I have I surprise and they all should wait for us outside!" Alice says excited.
I concentrate on my hearing, listening to everything around me, the first thing I noticed is Bella's scent but it was easy to forget especially once focusing on Jasper that was talking to someone with a female voice, probably Esme since the girls said he has a bit of control problem so he can't stay too close to Bella. Hearing his voice brought back all my memories of him and I was overwhelmed with emotion.
"I don't know who they are bringing but whomever it is, is having a huge wave of emotions right now." I hear Jasper saying which makes me smile knowing that he will be feeling the same thing when he sees me.
"Time to go outside everyone!" A male voice says and I wonder if it was Edward.
When the car arrives my eyes are on Jasper and I don't notice his family. I get out of the car studying him. He has many bites all over his body but considering his story I imagined it would be so, his eyes are like mine, and I could say being a vampire suits him but I can still recognize my big brother, the one that looked out after me, taught me things and that hearing about his death broke me down completely.
"Jasper…" I say with my voice filled with emotion and before I can control myself I am running towards him in vampire speed and hugging him tightly.
"Clarisse?" His voice seems uncertain.
"Yup! That's her Jazz!" I hear Alice saying excited and suddenly Jasper is holding me tightly.
"Oh my little Clarisse! I missed you so much! I thought you died! I tried to find things about you many years later to make sure you were alright and happy, and I found out that you married Stephen Mason and had a child! All I knew was that Mr. and Mrs. Mason were deceased but their daughter was still alive with grandchildren of her own... How?" Jasper says taking a step back and looking me in the eyes.
"We all want to know that Jasper! So why don't we do this inside?" I kind voice says smiling and I look at her smiling.
"Esme?" I ask and she nods, I turn to look at the rest of the family.
"Carlisle?" I ask the blonde older handsome man with kind eyes that nodded.
"Emmett?" I ask the big strong guy with a goofy smile on his face.
"You bet I am!" He answers making me chuckle.
"And Edward and his Bella." I say looking at the two remaining members and Edward nods at me while Bella studies me; I turn and look at everyone. "I am Claire Mason, it's nice to meet you all."
