Into the Night – Chapter One

June 14, 2038 –12:45 a.m. (Stephanie POV)

"So Stevie, Got any plans this summer?" My best friend Leah asked me. She had been worried about how quiet I was today for a long time. Very softly, I asked Daddy to tell me what she was thinking.

"Why is she so Quiet? This isn't like her, I'm Worried…" He voiced Leah's thoughts in Vampire-speak, so quick that only my family could hear.

Oh no, She was worried, again. She'd been worrying all week; apparently I was acting weird. Daddy silently agreed with her, I could tell. He had a look of confusion or worry every time he looked to me and Leah.

"Well, we might go on a family road trip to Alaska, we have some friends up there…" I trailed off, hoping to satisfy her. But Leah was observant today, something I didn't count on.

"All nine of you?" She was incredulous. Apparently I hadn't thought of how crazy it sounded. But when you live in a house full of vampires, I guess nothing's that crazy to me.

"Yeah, we still have to figure that part out. We'll either go in two cars, or we'll take a van." I explained. I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my lips at the thought of Alice flitting around a huge SUV and re-modeling it. I guess Daddy saw me smile and he gave me a confused look. I gave him an I'll-explain-later Look, he seemed satisfied. I knew he wouldn't forget.

"You're so lucky. You and your siblings are all so close… I wish mine could be like that." She rolled her eyes at the thought of her little sister Maya which made me laugh. Leah let it go, for now. I knew she'd pursue summer plans later in French.

I took the quiet moment to look around the cafeteria. It was funny actually, that Leah, Gabi, and Andrew are the only ones who sit with us. And they're my friends. Of course my 'siblings' don't mind because they have each other, but our peers didn't know that.

There were a lot of things our peers didn't know about my family.

My name is Stephanie Aïette Cullen, I am a Half vampire. Yeah, that doesn't even start to sum it all up.

My family is a coven of Vampires. I am the only one who is half human. When I was a baby of only one month old, Carlisle, the oldest member of the family found me. My mother had died in childbirth and I was being raised by an insufficient foster mother. Because the foster mother's inexperience with newborn children, I was un-healthy. She brought me in and dumped me at the hospital. I was beyond fixing.

So Carlisle brought me home, later Daddy had pointed out they couldn't change be because I'd stay one month old forever. That wouldn't work. But Mommy had an instinct and asked Carlisle if she could Change me. She pointed out that if I would die either way, that she should have a chance.

I'm glad Mommy bit me, because her venom is like no other. It's not painful when it runs through you, it's sweet. It changes you, but only slightly. My senses heightened, and I needed to start drinking blood once a month. I could run faster, hear better, I was ten times stronger, just like other vampires. But I didn't have such a huge need for blood. I could feed on a deer once a month and that was enough for me. I wasn't as painstakingly beautiful as Mommy, as sexy and sultry as Rosalie, or as graceful as Alice, but they all said I was a combination of the three. I was graceful—but that was balanced with my clumsiness. Daddy said that I got that trait from Mommy, even as a vampire she was clumsy, I was so glad I never saw her as a human. Daddy said I was beautiful and Mommy always had to remind him not to go too overboard when he started hearing boys think about me in that way.

So since I'm only half Vampire, I age once every couple years. I have existed for 30 years, but I look and act like a fifteen year old. My family loves me for who I am and they support me no matter what. I spend family time with each of them, in their own ways, I guess it's fun. With Emmet, he makes me embarrassed and he loves to toss me in the air since I'm so light. He also loves to arm-wrestle me.

When I'm with Rose, we usually think of pranks and practical jokes to pull on the family. I am proud to admit, I get my sneaky and deceitful side from my Mommy. Aunt Rose loves to tell me stories of the things they're done to each other and the family.

When I'm with Mommy, I usually talk about school and my life. I ask her about hers too. She and I love photography, so we take many pictures of our family. So many, we've filled 5 albums already. It's only been 3 months. Another thing we like to do is play Marco Polo. I hide and she seeks, or vice versa. And we try to be as quiet as possible when we answer, making it harder for the seeker to find us.

Time with Daddy is amazing. He tells me romantic stories about him and Mommy. Sometimes, they're so perfect it seems like they're out of a movie. But it's all real. I can see it. Every look, every touch, and every exchange I can tell that they truly loved and still love each other. So much, I can't even start to describe it. It's brilliant to see them together, they shut out the rest of the world, so it's was only them.

Carlisle is so utterly amazing. He always heals me often, so much quicker than a normal doctor. He really treats me like I'm one of his own family, and he never stops telling me how glad he is that he brought me home to the Cullen's. He's very insightful and always knows how to make me happy. He has great ideas too. One day, he was driving me to school. On the way, we saw a dead squirrel in the middle of the road, and I have no idea why, but I started bawling. It was so irrational because I kill animals once a month! But anyway, Carlisle understood how I felt and he took half a day off from the hospital to take me out for ice cream. I was about 6, physically. And that is one of my favorite memories.

And of course, there's Esme. Spending time with Esme makes it feel like time stops. She is so passionate, so loving. So sweet and full or caring and love. She's like a second mother to me in so many ways. Plus she is an amazing cook. Mommy had taught her so much about human food before her change; Esme could be a world famous chef. My favorite dish was her spaghetti. It was so simple, but it was amazing.

When I'm with Alice, She either gives me a make-over or takes me shopping. I Love it, I absolutely love spending time with her. Mommy always hates using so much money, but I don't feel bad when I say I don't. I can admit that sometimes it's over-the-top with Alice, but it's so much fun. And she thinks I have a knack for fashion and party-planning. I always know just what to choose, or so she says. My most recent shopping trip was yesterday. She took me to the mall to find the perfect outfit for the last day of school. She chose a simple yellow halter top that complimented my peach skin and some Levi jean Capri's. She's letting me wear my favorite pair of Yellow converse all stars with the outfit. She plans to straighten, then curl my hair to give it a wavy effect. I spend a lot of time with her since I'm the only one of the family who truly loves her obsession.

In spending time with Alice, I get to spend time with my favorite uncle. I love my Mommy and Daddy, but they're my parents. More than anyone else, Jasper is my brother and my best friend. He can always understand what I'm feeling, even if he didn't have his powers, we'd be close. He's almost the baby of the group, but not more so than me. He is deathly afraid of strippers from an incident long ago, and he hates defying his wife, Alice. Because of his powers, he can often send waves of a specific emotion. He panics easily, but Alice and I seem to be the only ones that can calm him down. He loves messing with our siblings; sending them waves of lust or anger. He always thinks it's a great joke. I think we get along really well because we share a similar power; I have the same power as Jasper, but I don't use it as often, because it's his thing. Instead I use it to feel what people around me are feeling, look for a couple who are too shy to talk to each other, and put them together. I can influence Love. I am cupid. I am a matchmaker. Daddy thinks that I have his power because when I was being changed, we didn't know Mommy's venom was sweet and he was sending so many waves of Happiness, Love, Calm and serenity to me. In hope of weakening the pain. But there wasn't any pain at all. Still, Jasper spent all three days with me. But that's only a theory, even if i do believe in it.

So that's some of my life, more than just saying that I'm a half Vampire at least. But I need to get back to reality; my teacher just asked me a question.

"I'm sorry sir, could you repeat that slightly louder, I'm having trouble hearing you." I asked politely, to fake that I was paying attention. Of course I heard him, I had vampire hearing, but he didn't know that.

"Of course Miss Cullen. The question was: What is the quadratic equation and what type of graph is it used for?" He repeated.

Uhm, why are we doing algebra? I asked myself, this is Trig. But I shrugged and answered.

"X equals negative B, plus or minus the square root of B squared minus four times A times C over 2 times A. And it is used when looking for a parabola, sir." I stated. He looked satisfied and went back up to the board.

Andrew was in my class, he sat next to me. We were pretty close, but he had a girlfriend and I couldn't even imagine liking him in that way. The thought gave me an involuntary shiver. Anyway, I was bored so I passed him a note.

Andykins,

What are your plans for the summer?

-Steph

I didn't even have to look at him, I could feel his excitement. He scribbled back quickly.

Steph, you know I hate it when you call me that.

But my family and I are going up North to Alaska. Leah told me you were going too, maybe we'll run into each other.

-Andy

We smiled at each other, I was actually really happy that I'd see him. We'd been best friends ever since he caught me when I tripped on the first day of school.

Forest grove was a town, but we lived in a secluded area. On the top of a steep hill. There were plenty of animals since we were surrounded by forest. Emmet has his bears, Daddy's satisfied with anything, I and the rest of the girls can have our deer and Jasper has his Moose. Haha, I tried moose once, it's so slow, and I don't know why Jazz likes it so much.

The bell rang and I scooted out to French where Leah and I had a lazy conversation about summer. We planned a few sleep-over's, all at her house since my family was a busy one. Not in the sense of work either. Ew. The rest of French went by really fast; soon we only had a few minutes to the end of the bell. Soon I could hop into Daddy's silly, ostentatious as he likes to say, car and go home.

2:40 p.m.

I ran out as fast as I could, beating the rest of my family, to the shiny, indigo Volvo.

When they did come, they each greeted me in their special ways. Emmet gave me a bear hug that lifted me off the ground; Rose gave me a long, sweet hug; Mommy hugged me around the neck and kissed my forehead; Daddy put his hand on my cheek and kissed me right where Mommy had the second before; Alice danced over to give me a peck on the cheek and Jazz finally got his turn to tickle me to death and envelop me in a hug, making me feel small since he was uh, six foot two.

We drove home laughing, but it was only five of us. Rose and Emmet drove home alone, as always. Where they'd probably get a quickie in before entering the house. They had a thing for doing it in cars. I was squished in the back between Jazz and Alice. Alice was flipping through the new editions of Elle and Bazaar at the same time, occasionally nudging me to show me a cute dress or some sexy shoes. Jasper was quiet as usual, but we started passing notes. We were the only ones that hated the fact that everyone could hear our conversations, other than Alice, so we had our own little world of notes on paper. We filled journals every week. I felt bad though, because Jazz had to do stuff like sing in his head or repeat something in 5 languages or count by thirteen's or do complicated math problems to keep Daddy out of his head. Usually, he didn't have to do it often, because he would hold Mommy's hand in the front seat, blocking his power and distracting him, but still.

We did this up until we entered the house, seeing Carlisle and Esme in the kitchen, making me a snack and Emmet and Rose on the couch, in a compromising position.

I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing, and the rest of my family then joined me.

That was Really fun to Write. This is my first major story, so don't be too harsh please.

Note: I came up with this because of a dream I had. XD
