1930's
"Be safe Emmett." Elizabeth told her husband.
He was leaving for the mountains and she was worried, but they needed food for the winter.
"I will, I love you." He told her and gave her a kiss.
Their two-year old daughter toddled in.
"Papa!" she cried and held out her hands to be picked up. He smiled and lifted her high above his head.
He gave her a kiss as well and passed her to her mother, her dark brown curls ringing her face. She had gotten those from Emmett.
"Good-bye my love. God bless." She said as her husband walked out the door headed for the mountains.
It had been two weeks and Emmett was not home. There was a knock at the door, the sheriff and the deputy. They had searched for Emmett and had found nothing. His campsite was ransacked by what looked like a bear. All they could do was hope he survived.
12 years later
"Mama!" Paton cried as her mother was killed before her eyes.
The dark, curly haired 14 year old was then abruptly pulled onto her feet as she sobbed. Red eyes glowed as a little girl glared at her. She had killed Paton's mother, now she was an orphan. The girl, who was shockingly beautiful, took Paton to Italy.
Paton later learned they were vampires and young Paton was forced to work for them. They had given her a bright red drink which turned her immortal though she was not a vampire.
She had met loads of people, many she had forgotten about. She did remember one though who was nice to her and had golden eyes.
His name was Carlisle. He had only stayed for a little while and she hadn't seen him since. That was over a year ago. The girl who had taken her was named Jane and she constantly tortured young Paton.
The only thing Paton could do was one day hope to escape or be allowed to leave. She tried desperately to get on Aro's good side.
2009 (PPOV)
"Aro, please?" I begged yet again. "May I leave to live elsewhere?"
"You want to find your father, or try to at least. You suspect he is a vampire?" he asked.
"Yes, please may I go?" I asked again.
"Fine, fine. You have done your part. You will stay immortal, but you are going to have to eat human food. The rest is the same, no vampire powers. Speed, strength etcetera, blah, blah, blah." He told me. I was jumping up and down.
"Thank you! Thank you!"I told him and turned to leave quickly.
I had spent the last few years tracking down my father. He was in Washington State, in America. Somewhere near Seattle. I knew he was alive, he just had to be. Another vampire I had talked to said he was 'alive'. I had to leave ASAP. I was finally free.
