Hi everyone! My very first fic! It relates to twilight. So mostly Kate and Garrett, Edward and Bella, Alice and Jasper. You get the idea right? Feel free to comment afterwards. This is Breaking Dawn in Garrett's point of view. After this, it'll be my own story. So please, please, please, be patient. Thank you. Please feel free to comment afterwards. Again, thank you.
Falling Hope
Preface:
This was just so wrong! I finally
found the woman I want to be with forever, finally told her I loved
her, and then I'm going to die right after.
I
just wish those bloody demons would just fall on the spot. Just die.
Curse them all the way to the bloody hell of Hades. I finally found
happiness, only to have it torn away from me.
The
only thing keeping me from jumping out and ripping those monsters
shred to shred and then burning them, was the woman in my arms. I may
as well savor every moment of this while I still can.
After all, who believed in the after life for vampires anyways? We
will never go to that beautiful place where people went down to their
knees to worship. We'll never be able to see God and the angels. So
this was probably the last minute of my wasted life. Might as well
appreciate it.
With that thought still lingering, I
crouched, prepared to spring forward and to attack any minute
now.
1. S.O.S
Carefully, I pulled the dead corpse into the thicket, out of eyesight. I had just finished my meal of the day. I got up carefully, taking out a map. My current location was England. Where to next? Where to next? Maybe Philadelphia. That would my cool. Tucking the map inside my leather jacket, I sprinted forward, taking my leave from England before anyone suspects how all those dead humans came to be.
Lightly, I stopped. I smelled a vampire
nearby, not one, but I think two. The smell was awfully familiar. But
I just can't put a finger on it… yet.
At that
precise moment, something touched my shoulder. I spun around hissing.
A bulky vampire stood in front of me with a silly grin plastered on
his face. At his side, a beautiful blonde stood beside him. They had
familiar strange golden eyes. I relaxed and sighed.
"Emmett, Rosalie." I greeted them with a smile. The bulky one,
Emmett, grinned and punched me lightly on the arm.
"Still looking good, Garrett, I'm impressed." He joked with a
mock smile on his face.
"What are you guys doing
here? Is Carlisle with you guys?" The questions continued pouring
out. When I glanced back up, Emmett no longer smiled but had a very
serious expression. It looked weird on his face.
"Yeah, you see Garrett," Emmett rubbed the back of his head.
"Carlisle really needs your help right now, so we're wondering,
if you can go to Forks Washington… and kinda help us."
This was… strange. "Why would you need help?" I
can't imagine what would be dangerous to a coven of vampires.
"Garrett," Rosalie said. "Can you just go to
Forks? I can assure you that once you get there, Edward would provide
you with a very good explanation." I nodded slowly. It still wasn't
registering.
"I'll see what I can do." I
muttered.
"Thanks man!" Emmett said, the
grave expression gone. "We owe you big time. I think you know where
Forks is right? I mean, with you being a nomad and everything."
"Yeah, I know where Forks is, no need to rub it
in." I barked back.
"Okay then, well, our
house is in a thicket, near the forest outside the boundaries of
Forks, got that?" Emmett said smiling.
"Wait, you aren't coming along?"
"No,
we'll come back later, we have to find some friends first."
"Oh…"
"What?
Afraid you'll get lost?" I pushed him gently while Rosalie rolled
her eyes and muttered, "Men."
"No,
I'm pretty capable of taking care of myself."
"Okay then, good luck." Emmett said to me. Then to Rose he
winked. "C'mon baby. Let's go find Mary and Randall." Taking
her hand they sprinted into the darkness with one last 'good
luck.'
"Forks, Forks, Forks." I
muttered to myself, and then with a burst of speed, I sprinted
forward, heading South.
I just
stood there dumbfounded. This
was their house? Man, I knew they were rich but wow.
I can already hear a bunch of vampires chatting inside the
house, I mean mansion. What was the danger? I couldn't sense
anything dangerous here except an awful smell. Ughh.
I walked up the porch, but before I could knock, Edward
opened the door, smiling at me.
"Garrett,
hello, it's nice to see you again." Edward smiled welcoming me
inside. "I assume Rose and Emmett told you to come?"
"You guessed right Edward." I looked around; there
were vampires everywhere! "What's the danger?" I asked still
looking.
"You must hear me out before you
judge, okay Garrett?" I looked at him. Sure, why not? Why wouldn't
I?
"Thank you Garrett." Wait, I didn't
even answer! Edward smiled and took one of his long fingers and
tapped at his forehead. Oh, right, how could I forget? He was a mind
reader. Lucky gift. Edward chuckled then called over his shoulder,
"Bella? Bring Renesmee out."
A
brunette walked out carrying a baby in her arms, though she looked
much older than a baby. The baby looks immortal. Oh… that's what.
But I can also feel the blood rushing through her veins, and I can
hear her heart fluttering like a hummingbirds wings. What is
she? Edward casted me a warning look.
"Listen okay?" he asked me.
"Sure, I said… I mean thought I would, didn't I?"
"Okay then." He said eyeing me. I saw the
brunette, Bella, shooting a worried glance at my direction. Must be
the eyes. Or the long hair. I saw Edward smile at my assumptions.
"Garrett, what do you think Renesmee is?"
he asked looking at the baby.
"Umm…
some sort of immortal child who has blood running through her veins
and a beating heart?" It ended as a question.
"Well then Garrett, shall I tell you?" I rolled my
eyes. "Garrett, I'm her biological father, not her creator, her
father. This is my mate," he said putting an arm around Bella, "She
conceived, carried, and gave birth to Renesmee while she was still
human. She nearly died. I had to press enough venom into the heart to
save her."
I think I stood there
gaping the whole time. I think my mouth was hanging open.
"Ummm, wow?" I murmured looking at Renesmee. She
smiled at me and reached out to touch my face. In that instant, I saw
Bella carrying this baby, her belly was… large. Kinda gross. Then I
saw Bella giving birth to Renesmee. I felt several feelings coursing
through me. Surprise, disbelief, grossness, and so many more; I can't
name them all. Finally the images cut of, like a television being
turned off. I blinked and took an unnecessary breath. Then I forced a
smile at Renesmee. She's even more dumbfounding than the mansion.
"Did you believe it?" Bella asked in a
whisper. I nodded.
"Sure did! She has
such a wonderful talent. You guys are lucky to have her." Then I
cut off. "But the great problem, I assume it's the Volturi
then."
"Yes, the Volturi are coming,
all of them, the entire guard. Aro, Caius, and Marcus. The wives are
coming too. They'll arrive in about a month." Once again, I just
froze. The entire guard? The wives too? How's that possible?
"I don't know," Edward replied my
unspoken question. "But Alice gave us a month."
"What do you want me to
do?"
"We want you to witness for
us. Maybe the Volturi will stop and listen. We're trying to find as
many friends to help witness for us."
"What if they won't listen?"
"That's a possibility. It can happen."
"Well, then, that means I would have to fight with you,
right?"
"Garrett, no one is asking
you to fight with us, we just want you to witness for us."
"But if they won't listen, you expect me to
stand there while you guys get shredded into rubble?" I saw Bella
flinch at the word.
"You're only here
to witness, nothing else." I nodded.
"Fine."
"Feel free to watch
television, or read some books. Pretend it's your own home." I
grinned. Edward smiled. "We're busy now, I can hear another guest
coming. If you're thirsty, please tell me, and I'll lend you a
car, and don't hunt in Forks, alright?" I nodded.
"Sure."
"Next round."
Edward muttered to himself then leaning down to kiss Bella on the top
of her head.
Sheesh. Was I the only one
in this place that was a bachelor? It felt awful. Edward had his
Bella, Jasper has his Alice, gosh, even Emmett
found that one special girl. Maybe I wasn't as charming as I
thought I was.
Slowly, I walked into the
living room. There was a coven in there already. They, too, had
strange golden eyes. There was a male and a female with black hair
and olive tone skin, they were holding hands so tightly the bone may
as well break through the skin. Then there was a charming female with
strawberry tinted blonde curls that were bobbing up and down as she
talked.
Finally, there was one other
female. She had the same golden eyes as the Cullens'. She had pale
blonde hair that was as straight as a piece of paper. But it shone,
brightly. She had this smug little smile on her face. Her beauty got
me frozen there right at the doorway. A frozen statue. A gaping
frozen statue. A wondering gaping frozen statue. Her beauty made
Rosalie look bad. And Rosalie was hot man! I just stood there,
staring at the angel, until she looked up and met my gaze. Then I
looked down embarrassed at being caught staring.
When I looked up, she was no longer looking at me. I decided
to go and to talk to her. But when I got there, I was positive there
was a silly grin on my face that I can't wipe off. How pathetic. I
continued taking small steps watching her every movement.
When I got right in front of her, her whole coven
stared at me. I continued grinning like a doofus.
"Hi I'm Garrett." I managed to muster before I was
once again, frozen. She looked up; looking curious at first, but then
composed her face into a friendly smile.
"Hello Garrett, I'm Kate and this is Tanya," she said pointing
towards the other blonde, "and Carmen and Eleazar." She said her
hand resting in the direction of the two black heads. Carman and
Eleazar murmured 'hello' and Tanya, well, Tanya scared the shit
out of me when she jumped up and shook my hand violently.
"Hello Garrett! It's so nice of you to help
witness for Renesmee! I'm so glad you said yes." She dimpled at
me. It felt weird. Sure, she was… something, but compared to Kate,
she's just another girl. I rubbed the back of my head.
"Nice to meet you too, Tanya." Then I looked at
her eyes and then turned to Kate to look at hers too. "Can I ask
you guys a question?"
"We need to
ask Edward something, Tanya. We'll be back later." Eleazar said
rising off the couch pulling Carmen up with him.
"Okay Eleazar, Carmen." Tanya said nodding in their
general direction. Then turning to me, "What do you want to know?"
"Why are your eyes gold?" I asked
continue staring at Kate. Tanya chuckled, grasping my attention
again.
"Well, we hunt animals."
Tanya answered.
"Just like the
Cullens'." Kate inserted. Her voice sounding like she was
singing, it made Tanya's voice sound weak and hoarse in comparison.
"But I'm pretty sure you already know that." She added in a
taunting tone, a smug smile replacing her angelic one, not that it
made her face look any less beautiful. I nodded.
"But why do you want to hunt animals?" I continued. I
saw Bella listening to our conversation. If it was Edward, I'd
better hide my thoughts.
"Because
we don't want to hunt humans. We don't want to be a killer of
nature." Kate told me, frowning. I considered it.
"But isn't animals kind of the same as humans?"
"No, they're not the same, humans
have people who love them, and people they
love, but animals don't. Sure the mother
would care for her young, but when they grow up, the mother wouldn't
care more or less about what happened to her grown up children. A
human mother would love you till the ends of the world. No matter how
old you become. And your mate, animals have mates just because it's
the way of nature. They don't care
about their mates. As long as he or she has one. Humans, they're
just the same as us. We
use to be humans, even though you might not remember much about your
human life, but still, you were human once." Then Kate broke off.
"Wait, do you have a mate?" she asked.
"No, but I sure wish I did." I said smiling. She didn't
return the smile.
"Then I guess it'll
be hard to understand. But if you ever do get a mate in the future,
you'll love her more than you love your own life. It's the same
with humans." She broke off looking into space. I opened my mouth
but then closed it again. I suppose saying Yeah;
I want you to be my mate, my wife, would be
stupid.
"That's why we hunt animals
and not humans." Tanya finished off. I almost forgot she was
there.
"Garrett?" a voice broke
through our conversation. I turned around just as Tanya and Kate
turned around. Then I stood up in one fluid motion.
"Mary? Randall?" I asked looking at a beautiful
petite black haired woman, and a tall bronze haired male.
"I thought I'd never see you again!" Mary
cried wrapping her petite arms around my waist. Once again, it felt
weird. So I'm popular with women, but not the women I wanted to
attract.
"Yeah… me too." I
muttered lamely still watching Kate at the corner of my eye. Kate and
Tanya both got up and danced out of the room, Tanya waving at me once
while Kate just skipped fluidly out of the room. Man, who was I
kidding? She was way too good for me.
"So, here to witness for the Cullens' too Garrett?" Randall
asked chuckling at the sight of Mary holding me tightly. I rolled my
eyes, trying my best not to push her away.
"Yep, being the good guy as usual." I said smirking. Mary
finally let me go.
"You know, me and
Randall already decided that if the Volturi won't stop and listen,
we will fight beside Carlisle. What have you decided?"
"Well, I decided that I was going to fight too,
but, well, Edward won't let me."
"So, the good guy is backing down because the people who need help
won't let him help? That's a real pity." Randall said smirking
at me this time.
"I am
going to fight," I growled playfully. "Edward doesn't hold
anything against me." At the corner of my eyes, I think I saw Bella
shaking her head with a dissatisfied frown on her face. Mary and
Randall laughed. I felt like I was missing some inside joke.
"Alright then, but you did hear that the whole
of the Volturi will come right? Not just Aro, Caius, and Marcus?"
Randall asked.
"I know that, even the wives
are coming." I said shaking my head.
"Well then. It will be pretty dangerous Garrett, are you sure you
can do it?" Gosh, why does everyone like looking down on me?
"Of course I can do it. What do you think I
am, some kind of ninnie?" Mary laughed.
"No, I'm just sure Randall
means, are you sure you want to risk your life."
"Hey, I know the truth is on the Cullens' side, can I
really ignore it?"
"True."
"So, I'll fight for the Cullens', it's the least I
can give them after all the help Carlisle gave me." They both
nodded.
Then I heard the door open.
"Carlisle! Esme! Are you all right?"
"Carlisle, is the Volturi really
coming?"
"Your okay right?"
"Carlisle, my friend, what happened?"
Voices burst through at the front room. Mary and Randall both skipped
to the front room. I quickly followed. I saw Kate leaning against the
wall in the south of the room. She and Tanya were discussing in low
quiet voices, even thought everyone could hear them.
"Who is he?" I heard Tanya ask Kate in a whisper.
"I don't know, another witness?"
"He looks scared."
"He probably doesn't know what's going on yet, Tanya." I saw
Tanya look up, my gaze followed and I saw a dark-haired vampire
standing in the front of the room, behind Carlisle. As Tanya had put
it, he looks scared. Probably doesn't like large crowds. Edward
came out towing Bella by the hand, who was clutching onto Renesmee
tightly. And close behind, I saw a tall Indian man who was probably
seven feet tall, and he did not look like a vampire. I could hear his
heart beat. And for once, seeing a human did not make me hungry
because the odor coming off of him was repulsive. He may not be a
vampire, but he definitely wasn't totally human. Uhh, he's
probably a werewolf.
"Alistair, it's
nice to see again." Edward said politely, with Bella close behind
him. Alistair just hid behind Carlisle even more.
"It's okay Alistair," Carlisle said in a soothing
voice. "Everything will be alright." Alistair peeked around
Carlisle's body. I heard Amun mutter something intelligible.
Benjamin was throwing wary glances at Alistair, and Tia had the same
expression on her face as Benjamin's. Eleazar just turned his full
attention to Carlisle, pretending Alistair wasn't there. Carmen, on
the other hand, was studying Alistair with a funny expression. Then,
this huge woman, I suppose Siobhan, was hugging a small girl, Maggie,
to her huge chest. Her mate, Liam, stood nearby, expressionless. Mary
and Randall were whispering together. The wolf, was muttering to
himself, staring at the ground. Tanya was still staring at Alistair.
Finally, I stared at the most beautiful face of all; Kate was staring
at me, that was, until I caught her staring. Embarrassed like me
before, she dropped her gaze, letting her hair cover her face.
Sheesh, I wouldn't have cared if she stared
at me the whole day, it made me feel good. Then a thought occurred to
me. I had never believed in heaven, but now, as I thought about it, I
was starting to doubt myself. If heaven wasn't real, then why was I
staring at an angel?
Thank you everyone for reading chapter one of Falling hope. I hope you enjoyed it. I should have told you before hand, I do not own any characters or any of the stories from the Twilight saga. They all belong to Stephenie Meyer. Thank you once again for reading please review! Thank you!
