Pretending everything is right, to make it better.
I'll hide my make up smeared eyes, to show that I tried.

AYA:

I was laying in my bed looking at the wall, not really ready to get up. Today was Stacie's birthday, and then tomorrow was Edwards. Day after that mine, but I didn't want to think about that. I didn't want to think about how I was turning 16, my final year as a human and I was going to live it in this stupid kingdom. The same kingdom that I've wasted all of my past years in.

I sighed and pulled my blanket over my head and slowly started counting down.

"3…2…1…"

"AAYYYYYAAAA!" Stacie screamed bursting into my room causing my doors to bang loudly onto the walls.

"Happy Birthday Stacie, but would you please not do that!"

I pulled the blanket down from over my head and sat up. Stacie was standing there with her hand on her hips. She was 5'4, long brown/blonde hair that went a little past her shoulders in many layers. She had her mother's, also my aunt's bright green eyes and her soft simple smile. Of course being half vampire she had her goddess like looks, like me.

"Well then wake up already! Everyone is waiting on you! Though I don't know why since it is my birthday, not yours. So we should not have to wait on no one, but ME!"

She threw up her hand's and stomped her foot. I snickered and just shook my head. She was wearing a white dress that stopped right before her knees and had bright blue sandals on. Her hair was tied back in ponytail with a daisy tucked behind her ear.

"Did Edward give you that daisy?"

"Yes he did. He gave me this too!"

She flung out her hand towards me, once I saw something glitter from the little sunlight that was coming through the window, I was out of bed in flash and looking at Stacie's beautiful promise ring. It had a green diamond that matched her eyes in the middle and diamonds surrounding it.

"Oh Stacie it's sooo pretty!"

"Yah, you could have one like it if you just faced the fact that your madly in love with Quil!"

I rolled my eyes before walking off to the bathroom to get ready for whatever Stacie had planned for us today. I waved her off and told her to tell everyone that I would be there in a minute.

I closed the bathroom door behind me and looked into the large mirror that was across the room. I only stood about 5'1, taking after my mother who was only 5'0 all together. I had long silky blonde hair that reached the middle of my back. My eyes were a bright blue, which I had got from my father. My skin was blemish free and pale. I had never been tan, always pale. My cheeks were plump, as were my lips. I had a small nose that was unbearably perfect. My nickname was Tinker, after the famous Peter Pan character Tinkerbell. I guess I looked just like her.

I was Aya Rose West, daughter of Binky Lee West, Queen of the Vampire Kingdom. And I hated it.

I turned away from the mirror and turned on the bath. I waited until it filled to climb in. I tried to hurry along so that no one had to wait for me to eat breakfast, even though I wasn't hungry at all. When I was done I climb out wrapped myself in a white rob hanging off the back of my door and walked into my room.

I walked straight to my closet and pulled out a bright green dress that made me fill out my nickname. When it came to sandals I put on some simple white ones. I didn't do anything with my hair; it was straight unlike my father's or my mother's.

I started off to the dinning area hurrying so I didn't have to hear Stacie complain about having to wait on people on her birthday. When I walked in everyone stopped talking and turned to look at me. Everyone was glaring, but for my Uncle Luc and Quil.

I walked over to sit between Edward and Quil. Edward turned towards me with an evil glare and a frown on his face.

"Just because your little Miss Depressed doesn't give you the right to ruin everyone else's birthday." He said it loud enough for everyone to hear, no one came to my defense, besides my best friend Quil.

"Lay off Edward, not everyone is perfect like you."

Edward's gray eyes bore into mine, making me turn away. Edward was handsome, very handsome, but I had no claim on him. Even if I wanted it with all my heart. He was 5'11 with broad shoulders and strong arms. He took after his father, but he wasn't as nice as father or his mother. Besides being mean and perfect, he was madly in love with my cousin, the one and only Stacie.

"Thanks Quil. I can always count on you to stand up for me." I patted his leg under the table and gave him a nice sweet smile. He blushed and took my hand and squeezed it slightly.

"Always."

I looked closely at Quil, Stacie and my mother always told me that I was in love with Quil, I just couldn't see it yet. He was 5'9 with the hottest abs I have ever seen. Quil has his mother's eyes the bright gold that warmed my heart every time I saw them shine. He had a nice simple smile and was soft and gentle. His brother Embry was the totally opposite. He was rough and loud. They looked just a like besides their eyes, which was strange for twins. Embry's were blue, but not as bright as mine. They had their father's crow black hair, which they kept long.

"Well since the little Miss Princess has decided to join us can we eat now?" Edward said in rude voice sending glares my way.

I kept my face down looking at the table, even though I could feel everyone's on me. Mostly my mother's who has been pushing me so hard lately to be like she used to be. Bouncing and loving all the time , but serious all the same. She was never late for anything and never had a frown on her face, unless it came to me.

I dared a look at my father who was sitting next to my mother; he was looking at me with a sad look on his face. When he saw that I was looking he gave me a small smile that I just couldn't return.

After breakfast we went horseback riding like Stacie wanted and swam at the beach afterwards. Embry, Edward, and Stacie were all ignoring me still mad at me for over sleeping this morning. I was sitting on the edge of the beach staring at Edward's perfect body when Quil slipped his arm around my waist. I leaned into him resting my head on his shoulder.

"They'll get over it, they always do. But tell me Tinker why are you so upset?"

"My 16th birthday is in two days…"

"Well most of us would be happy about that! I am!"

"Yah. I wasn't finished. Quil I don't want to live my final human year in the kingdom, I want to go to the states to where my parents grew up! Back to where my mother met my father! Where they fell in love! I want to see new things, see new people! Everyone knows who I am here, I'm sick of it. I don't want to be treated like royalty anymore. Just a normal teenage girl."

"Then talk to your mom."

"She can't leave the kingdom, so she won't go with me. She won't let me go alone."

"Then I'll go with you, I'm sure the others would want to. We are best friends, lived together since we were babies, born days apart. It would suck to separate now! Let's ask them!"

"QUIL NO!"

But he was up to fast and going down the beach towards the others before he could hear me. I ran after him and listened as he told the others about why I was upset. Edward rolled his eyes at the idea, Stacie smiled and hugged me just happy that it wasn't her fault that I was upset, and Embry just smacked me on the back.

"Go talk to your mom Aya! Get her to let you go!" Stacie begged me.

"I don't know you guys, she might not listen to me!"

"Your mom spoils you to death Tinker, just bat your eyes and stick out your lips and you'll get your way." Quil said tossing his arm around my shoulders hugging me to him.

"Alright, alright I'll try."

1 HOUR LATER

"Aya, I was very disappointed in you this morning, I told you to be up early for Stacie's birthday breakfast. It's really sad that Stacie had to be the one to go wake you up and get you to come down with your family. You have been in funk since Quil and Embry's birthday. Tell us what's wrong honey."

I looked at my mother and my father. She was the one to give me the "talk" of being a good cousin and friend. My father hadn't said anything the whole time, but sat there staring at me while my mother talked.

"As you know my birthday is in 2 days, right after Edward's. I only want one thing for my birthday."

"What is it honey?" my mother asked.

"I want to go to the States to live."

My mother and father's jaws dropped at the same time and their eyes widen in shock. I didn't get what the big deal was. They should of have expected it, they should have known, I would want to leave some time. See the other side of the world see their home. They let my grandmother May go back home, but she was supposed to come back for my birthday and stay.

I have always loved the kingdom, but the same 4 stonewalls, invisible to human eyes, were finally getting to me. My mother always talked about her hometown and how she loved her house. They still owned it; they couldn't stand the thought of selling of it.

"No." My mother said in a very tight angry voice.

"I'm not taking no as a answer. But really I can't talk about this anymore. Stacie's party is in 2 hours and I need to start getting ready…like now."

Before they could say anything I got up running to my room. I heard my mother call me back about four times until my father finally told her that we would talk about this after the party. I slammed the door to my room shut and sank down to the floor.

All I wanted to do was get away, live somewhere where people didn't treat me like I was royal, like if they did one thing wrong to me my mother and uncle would order to have them ripped to shreds in front of the whole kingdom.

I finally got up off the floor about 20 minutes later so that I could start getting ready for Stacie's party. I started with a bath so that I could wash my hair with rose petals. I got out wrapping myself in my robe again. I usually had maids and others to help me get ready for these things, but I told them that they didn't have to; that they could spend their time doing whatever they wanted. I also promised never to tell my mother.

Something happened to my mother that made her change, she was bitter and mean a lot of the time now. She used to be so carefree and loving, she always laughed and danced around with me always making me laugh. Then one day things just changed, she stopped talking to everyone, but for my father and Uncle Luc. She stopped singing and drawing, even hanging out with me seemed like to much of an effort, no one would tell me what was going on, no one told me about my mother's past or who Sam was.

I went to my closet and took out the dress that Isabel made for me just for this night. It was a bright red with a little gold. The gold was small decorations along the chest area, the skirt, and some of the sleeves. It was beautiful and bright; there was only one small section of white that was at the top around the neck and under the arms. It flowed around me and made me love the way we dress in the kingdom. (A/N Picture of dress in profile) After I got the dress out I laid it gently on my four-post company bed. I then took out my corset and walked over to my door.

"Emma?" I called in a normal voice, knowing wherever Emma was she would hear me. Emma was my maid, well my best friend actually, she was 2 years older than me and always got my problems. She almnost knew me as well as Quil did.

"Yes Lady Aya?" She said coming walking up from the right of me.

"My corset, I need help with it and my dress."

"Yes my Lady."

She had me grab one of the posts of my bed and told me to breath in. I winced in pain as she pulled the strings tighter and tighter. I've always hated these things, but being a proper lady meant squeezing the life out of you every time you got together with friends or went to balls. After she tied me up and made sure I could breathe without wheezing with every intake of breath. The dress came over my over sized breast, which would make my father very happy. She helped me get my dress on and then left so that I could finish with the rest.

For my hair I decided to leave it down, but just bread a couple of random pieces through out my hair. Because of my mom we had 21st century makeup. I put on black eyeliner with some light shade of eye shadow. After I finished I slipped on my shoes and looked over at the clock my mother made sure I actually had. There were some things she just couldn't give up.

I had a half hour before the party started, I decided to go over to Stacie's room to see what her dress looked before the party actually started. I've only heard her talk about months before her actually her birthday. Isabel put her heart and soul into the dress. I hurried down the hall holding the front of my dress in my hands so that I didn't trip. I knocked in a secret way so that Stacie knew it was I.

"Come in Aya!"

I smiled and walked on in; Stacie turned around and smiled at me. Her hair was pulled back into a bun with small ringlets falling around her face. Pearls were strung through a couple of pieces. But it was her dress that was amazing. The dress was white and bright blue. It was long and flowing at the bottom, there was also a long flowing blue and white cape that went with it. The inside of the cape and the sides of the dress were white. In the middle of the chest area was a lace design. The dress showed a lot more in the chest area then my own. The sleeves were long and blue, as was the middle, back, and outside of the cape. (A/N also in my profile)

"OH! Stacie you look so beautiful!" I cried running to her grabbing her hands into mine.

"So do you! I love red on you, I was afraid that you were going to wear green or something."

"Yah, I think Isabel was sick of me wearing green all the time. I mean no one else besides Quil calls me Tinker anymore."

"Yah we noticed, that's why we stopped. You have to have something special with your true love." I rolled my eyes and laughed at her. "WHAT?"

"Quil isn't what I'm looking for, he's just my best friend. Ya know?"

"Whatever! So did you talk to your parents?"

"Yah. They said no, but we aren't done talking about it. I think they need to know why I want to leave."

"Yah. I'm telling mine tonight at the party. So if they get angry, they can't cause a scene I mean it is my night."

"Yes it is. And I'm sorry about this morning, I didn't mean to ruin your birthday breakfast."

"No worries, just know that I'm totally going to sleep in for yours."

"Alright."

We laughed and walked over to the door to get ready to walk to the ballroom. The whole kingdom would be here, even though all the adults don't look a day over 20. It would be like one big party with a whole bunch of teenagers. LET THE FUN BEGIN!

2 HOURS LATER

I was dancing with Embry when my mother came up behind me ripping me away from Embry and towards my father, Uncle Luc, Isabel, Hadrian, Leofrick, Aunt Ruby, Arabelle, and Walter. When we got over they started into an empty room that was cut off from the party.

After Walter shut the door everyone whirled on me and glared. I was getting ready to ask what this was all about when Isabel came over and slapped me across the face so hard that I went flying to the ground. Right away my eyes started to water as I put my hand to my cheek and looked up at them. Hadrian was holding Isabel shooting dangers at me with his eyes.

I slowly stood up and looked at them. My mother was looking at Isabel with surprise, Isabel wouldn't meet her eyes. My father came over right away and checked to see if I was okay.

"Are you alright Aya?"

"Why? WHY DID SHE DO THAT? WHAT DID I DO?"
"I think you know honey."

"DON'T SWEET TALK HER!" Yelled Arabelle.

She walked over and pointed her finger in my face and started yelling.

"WHY ARE TRYING TO TAKE OUR CHILDREN AWAY FROM US? JUST BECAUSE YOUR UNHAPPY WITH YOUR HOME DOESN'T MEAN THAT MY BOYS ARE! WHAT DID YOU SAY TO QUIL? I KNOW HE WILL DO ANYTHING YOU ASK HIM TO!"

"I DIDN'T TELL THEM TO DO ANYTHING! I JUST TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED TO LEAVE AND THEY SAID THEY DID TOO!"

"YOU'RE A LIAR! OUR CHILDREN WOULD NEVER WANT TO LEAVE!"

I felt like I couldn't breathe and the corset was making it any better.

"Aya tell us why you want to leave." My mother said.

"I want to leave because I'm sick of the same four stone walls. I want to see new things, things I don't get to see here. I want to know what its like to live in a house and not a castle. I want to know what it feels like to be treated like a normal girl! Not the Queen's daughter. I'm sick of the kingdom, I don't want to live my final year as a human in this place! I HATE IT!" I was full on crying now; I could feel my eyeliner running down my cheeks.

"You will never leave this kingdom Aya."

"YES I WILL! I WILL LEAVE THIS KINGDOM AND EVEN IF IT IS THE LAST THING I WILL EVER DO!"

My mother just sighed and looked away. She looked at my Uncle who's eyes got wide and he started shaking his head wildly.

"My mind is made up Luc. I don't care what you think or what you say." My mouth dropped as well as everyone else's. My mother and Uncle had never disagreed on anything. She turned back to me. "If you want to leave fine. You are banned from this Kingdom and this castle. You must be gone by tomorrow morning."

She then pushed past me and went back to the party. Everyone else walked by me, some of them shoving me with their shoulders. My own father wouldn't look me in the eyes.

After awhile I turned and followed them out, eyeliner and tears were dripping off my chin and onto my beautiful dress. When I looked up and met Quil's eyes I knew that he already knew. Then when I looked past him I saw Edward, Embry, and Stacie all standing there looking at me. Sadly. They were staying and I was going. Forever…

Quil started walking towards me, but I run off before he could come within two feet of me. I ran through kitchen and out the back door into the garden. I ran past the stables and to the beach. But the whole time I was fighting for air. When I finally stopped I fell flat on face into the sand. Fighting for the air my corset was cutting off. I started ripping off the dress and then corset until I was in my under gown.

I cried and cried with my makeup smeared eyes…

Pretending everything is right, to make it better. I'll hide my make up smeared eyes...
And this drama filled fest all my fault I guess. But you told me prendings for the best. And I held out as far as I could go. Do you miss me Id really like to know, that you're left with a feeling I let go.
Your left with a feeling I let go, you are just a feeling I let gooooooo.

REVIEW!

OH! And I'm doing a whole separate story about Luc. I think he needs his own story.
