Always the Quiet Ones
Remembrance
Chapter 1
It is always the quiet ones, always. When I first moved here, I was that quiet one. I didn't like the attention, and I always lived in the shadows, until Alice came along. Alice is a short little sprite, sweet and kind. Well... Not so sweet and kind anymore, but she loved me and I loved her. That was, until her jealous brother got in the way. Then, her jealousy got in the way. And it went downhill from there.
She broke me; she broke me into a million pieces. Then, she left me to pick up my broken pieces. Once lovers, now enemies we fight till this day. Hence, that fateful day when Edward lost control, not of bloodlust but of jealousy. I was changed. When Edward bit me I changed, not into a vampire but something else. Something more powerful, I am a Braken, the first of my kind.
After the change I left, sprinting off into the labyrinth of a forest. I could hear the screams and the crunching of leaves as Alice desperately tried to run after me. I was too fast; knowing that she would keep following me, I took a sharp left turn toward the rusty dog smell.
La Push, no Cullens allowed. I liked that. Instantly, I was greeted with the snarls of the wolf pack. I turned to the small grey wolf.
"Leah, take me to Sue. I really need her guidance right now."
Suddenly, I was greeted with her nakedness. I turned quickly around so she could change.
"Right this way Bella." Leah murmured, stiffly walking toward a small grey house. I nodded, knowing that she could not see it.
We reached the house in a matter of minutes, and I was bombarded by a small yet muscular form.
"Hi Bell...a... Oh!" Seth realized as he finally got a good look at my form. "You look well... Not human"
"I think she noticed that, dumb ass."
"Well, you know what Leah? I don't care what you think!" Seth lamely retorted.
"Well that was a nice comeback bro, not!" I have had enough of this.
"Guys, guys enough! I really don't have time for this right now!"
They both looked at me in each of them I saw a flash of guilt. Suddenly interested in the floor, they shuffle up to the house and into the kitchen.
As soon as I step into the kitchen, I was once again tackled into a hug. However, this was a hug I would gladly accept.
"Oh dear, what have you gotten yourself into?" Sue pulled back just enough to see the sadness flood through her eyes.
"I don't know Sue; I was hoping you could tell me. I mean I know I'm not human, but I don't know exactly what I am. There so many things that my instincts are telling me to do, telling me the things that I can do!" Clinging to her side with an eternal grip, we lock eyes. "I desperately need your guidance right now."
"Bella, let's sit at the table, okay dear?" I nod my head as she leads me to the table in the center of the room.
"Sit, sit, and now give me your hands." I hesitantly held out my hands for her to take.
As soon as she took my hand, she was enveloped into a trance. Swaying and murmuring strange nonsense, with her eyes closed but still all seeing as she was deep in her vision.
Soon, she started chanting louder and louder, moving faster and faster. Then, there was a huge shock that jerked us away from each other.
Gradually, Sue opened her eyes. Looking at me with such pain and loss it almost killed me.
Almost.
"Bella, you will encounter a great loss and hatred for the ones you love. I am so sorry you have to go through this child, but it is necessary for the whole world's sake. As for what you are, you are a Braken. The benefits of all the supernatural species combined into one. Since you are the first, you are the strongest supernatural being ever created. Your followers will only be as strong as the vampires. Just remember one thing, when given the opportunity never give up on love."
Sue finalized with a small smile etched on her face. I stood up ready to leave, when a question came up.
"Sue, can ask you one more thing?"
"Anything…"
"How do I change people into a Braken?"
"You bite them of course. Also, since you don't have the bloodlust of a vampire you will have no worries about your control."
I gave her a smile, and I was about to thank her when the phone rang. And something told me to stay, to see what the call was about.
A few seconds went into the call, and panic flashed into Sue's face.
"Bella, you must go to Charlie now!" In a high-pitched yet stern voice, which had me out the door and heading toward my childhood home in an instant.
As I reached my house, the sounds of dry sobbing and groans of pain filled my ears. Panic stricken, I launched through the front door to see the most horrendous sight in front of me.
Charlie laying on the ground in a puddle of his own blood. Bones had broken, some even poking out of his skin in some places. In shorter words, the scene in front of me made me want to throw up.
I was about to run toward Charlie, when a voice stopped me dead in my tracks.
"Don't get any closer to him, or I'll break his neck." I whipped my head around to see Alice sitting in one of the wooden chairs from the kitchen.
Alice looked like she went to hell and back. Her clothes…practically nonexistent with it all in tatters. Dark bags under eyes, and her normally stylish spiked hair, was no caked with blood and other nameless substances. Right now, she was the exact opposite of the girl I fell in love with.
Looking at my father again, the rage came back full force. "Alice, why?"
She stood up, her chest vibrating heavily as a deep growl ripped through the air, she yelled, "How else was I supposed to get you come to me? With you fucking that bitch over in La Push! Leah was it?"
"So you go and torture my father leaving him half dead? What the fuck Alice! I was over at La Push talking to Sue to see if I could get answers to what I might be. Why would you think I would be cheating on you? Alice I love you, but almost killing my father over a misunderstanding, is ridiculous! We're done Alice." I finalized in a cold stern voice.
Slowly taking a step toward Charlie, Alice surges forward and grabs him by the neck. Lifting him up easily.
"Don't take another step! Bella we are soul mates, we are meant to be together." Alice yells with a choked dry sobs.
"Soul mates don't hurt the others family Alice. Right now, you are showing your true colors and I don't like it one bit. So don't make this any worse than it already is. Give me Charlie and leave."
The arm around Charlie tightened until there was a deafening crack in Charlie's neck. A sharp gasp came from Alice as she realized what she had done. I just stared at my father's limp form, clenching and unclenching my fists trying to keep the monster in me at bay, when I so desperately wanted to let it out.
"Bella I..."
I grabbed Charlie's body from her, cradling him in my arms. Rocking him back and forth, back and forth. "Save it Alice, I never thought that you would do this, my own father...gone. You broke me Alice, so now I have to break you. From now on, I am no longer your friend, your lover. I am your enemy. I am going to give two seconds to get out of my house, or you will never see the rest of your family again, because you'll be dead."
Alice just stood there still in shock.
"Leave now, Alice!"
In an instant she vanished, leaving me alone with my thoughts, and a dead Charlie in what was left of my childhood home.

Well there you have it! Alice and Bella are no longer together, still no war yet. However, that is coming soon. I really enjoy good criticism since this is my first time posting a story on here. So please review and I'll see you next update.
