It was around 1005, in Spain -when I was born. Carmen Melisa Vicente was my birth name, and I was born to Mr. and Mrs. Vicente. We were always a very happy family-doing anything we could to stay together. We were, indeed, a very loving family. And I was a very risky girl…It was my risks that brought me to my decision. I was 22, when i decided to go for a walk. Alone. And at night. I was walking along a bridge when i slipped, and as karma may have told you-i fell off. I was in the water-twitching, bleeding, and helpless. Nobody had heard me. I tried screaming, hoping somebody would-but after a good 20 minutes, still nobody. It was half an hour later and knew for sure I was dieing. How on earth did I even stay alive for that long? I heard something then-It was breathing. A man grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the water. Once on shore-he bent down to my head and whispered in my ear. "don't be afraid," he whispered in a surprisingly appealing voice. "I need to do what's best for you…please forgive me." He pleaded. What on earth is he going to do to me? I thought. He then bent his head to my neck, kissing it. I was in shock now-hoping I was hallucinating. The I felt a stabbing pain, spreading throughout my neck. My veins. My body. I then realized it was him. He was biting me. Seconds passed, and I dozed off.
I awoke in a
bed. Not mine. Not even a hospital. This was somewhere I've never
been before. I looked around, seeing nobody in the room with me.
Surprisingly, my vision was better than ever in my whole life.
I wondered why.
Had I been saved? Impossible. I was
dieing-nobody could get to me that fast. More importantly-who was
that boy?
I heard somebody walk in then-and my head snapped up.
It was the same man. He had brown hair and was very
muscular.
"hello," he greeted me. His voice was even more
appealing.
"h-hi" I tried to answer as normally as possible,
but my voice wasn't how I remembered it would sound. I was
somewhere I've never been before-in a bed that wasn't even
mine. And this man I've never met before just started
talking to me. Of course I was nervous…or so I thought that
was what my voice sounded like.
"I'm Eleazar." he said. "may I ask of you're name?" he asked me. "Carmen." I wondered to myself why I was answering him. "Carmen," he smiled. "I need you to listin, you have no idea how hard this is for me to explain" he pleaded. What could she possibly say that would make me feel worse? "Carmen," he sighed, taking a breath. "you're not…human anymore" he whispered. I was speechless. I had no clue what to say to her. No clue what to think myself. I was not human? How could such a thing be possible? "how" I whispered to myself, so low he couldn't hear. Or so I thought again. "well, you see…" he explained to me the reasons for my voice, my vision, and my skin-which I hadn't noticed before-being different. he said That I was immortal which he described something like a vampire I thought. he apologized over and over again for how my life changed and she whished he could have saved me before that 'changing' me was necessary. When he was done explaining, he called out in a slightly louder tone. "okay," he said. "you can come in now" he called. Many others walked in then-they all had blood red eyes. I flashed my head over to eleazer, which I noticed had red eyes as well. I caught my reflection on the window to see that i had red eyes too. There were three men in the front. They introduced themselves as marcus, caius, and aro…the volturi. They also introduced their guard, which as made up of many other immortals with special abilities-which I do not have. They greeted me slightly, telling me where I was, and ow my life would go from now on…eleazar was the only one to apologize. He's always had something, whatever it was-I loved it. I love him. forever. As the years passed by, Eleazar and I only became more and more frustrated with how the volturi were handling things. Eventually, we decided enough was enough. We packed a bag with some clothes and our passports, and left-hoping to never see the volturi again.
We had traveled to alsaka when we met a new coven we had never heard of. The denali coven is what they called themselves, and they welcomed us. Eleazar was in the middle of explaining how we were involved with the volturi when I noticed their eyes. They had a strange golden color to them, one that I've never seen before. I asked why their eyes were so different and they told me that they don't hunt humans, like most do, but they hunt animals. They refused to hunt humans because they felt it wasn't necessary to kill such innocent people when there was another alternative. That's what made up my mind about joining the denali coven. How humane and caring they were of eachother. Of the world.
In June, of 2006
we received a call from Alice Cullen (one of our cousins from the
olympic coven) and she had said that Edward was getting married.
I asked Alice who she was, because i had never been aware edward
found a mate. She said that her name was Bella Swan. And she wasn't
an immortal...she was human.
This was quite a surprise for
me-but even more so Tanya. We all agreed that we should attend
Edward and Bella's wedding, because he was family-and soon she would
be, too. When i first met Bella, she was blushing quite
so-nervousness of meeting the rest of Edward's friends and family
from what i thought-but was a very sweet and beautiful girl. I would
surely accept her into our family. We all did.
Months
later, we recieved another call. This time it was from Carlisle
(the father of the same coven) and he asked of our support and help.
Of course, we were willing to do anything for the Cullens.
They were our family.
When we arrived at forks, It was only
Edward, Bella, and a strange boy whom i thought could not be
immortal-but also not human. Edward explained to us that the boy (who
was named Jacob) is a Quileute...in other words-a shape-shifter,
in the form of a wolf. But that wasn't their news. At first we
thought Carlisle was hurt-but Edward reasured us he was fine. Then I
looked at Bella, and she wasn't human anymore. She now held a
child-like being in her arms. It was a child. An immortlal
child.
Eleazar, Kate, and especially Tanya, were
outraged. But I, on the other hand, knew there had to be some
explanation. I was right. Edward explained to us that Bella had
carried the child-when she was still human, of course-until it's
birth, when she was also changed. So the child was born half
immortal, half human. A very rare species. It was a girl-and her name
was Renesmee. Jacob called her Nessie, which made me wonder
what kind of relation he had to the child. Renesmee had an
extraordinary gift. She could reflect her thoughts into your head,
with just a touch. She'd place her hand on your check-and suddenly
you were in her head, hearing everything she was thinking, seeing
everything she was thinking.
Edward also explained the reason
they needed our help. The Volturi were coming for her-because
of our sister. Irina. Irina had left us about a month back out of
rage, the Quileutes had killed her mate, Laurent. The Volturi, the
same coven that my darling Eleazar and I had left hundreds of years
ago, the same coven Eleazar and I were once apart of.
They needed
us to be a 'witness' for Renesmee. To back up their evidence that
she was not an immortal child. We agreed to help them, because they
were our family, Including Bella and Renesmee. We would fight
if we had to. We stayed for weeks prior to the Volturi's 'visit.'
While we were there, many other covens and roamers came to witness as
well. All having the same reaction before hearing the story, all
having the same reaction after. That's when we met Garret.
He was a roamer, belonging to no coven, when he had heard about a
'gathering' and he came to see what it was about. He met my
sister Kate then, and they fell in love.
Weeks had passed and the
Volturi came. We were prepared to see Irina with them, and sure
enough-she was. Tanya, Kate, Eleazar, and I shook our heads in
disapproval. She had jumped to conclusions, not caring to hear the
story. After she took a good look at Renesmee for the first time, she
was speechless. Aro, Marcus, and Caius (the Volturi leaders) Were
absolutely appalled at Irina for giving them false information. I
still remember hearing her tortured cries before they….killed
her. The Volturi left with their power-and we left without a sister,
and with a new member of our coven, Garret. We all left
without a fight, But we were prepared to.
