Into the Northwest

Greeting my name is Serenity DeWinter and this is my story I am a Dhampir, what that means is that my father was a vampire when he copulated with my human mother resulting in the birth of my brother and myself. You see 150 years before my father met my mother, my father was human, a French lord living a normal life until he was apparently bitten and turned vampire. He then met my mother 150 years later, she was the daughter of a noble Spaniard, they met at a party in Spain and it was love at first sight. Now back to my brother myself you see we lived in France growing up, and as we've gotten older we lived in various places in Europe, then my brother said it was time we see the world, so we hopped on the earliest ship to America where we stayed mostly in the northern eastern part. But anyways my story begins in America, in the summer of 1910 as we make our way towardsthe northwest, to the state of Washington, in a small city known as Forks. My brother thought it would be a nice place to live for a while, says it is isolated, so we will be able to have some privacy. As we ride along in our stage coach to our new home, towards the outskirts of Forks my brother and I were discussing our decision to come here.

"What possessed you to bring us here to the middle of nowhere?" I hissed as I glared at my brother from across my seat in the stage coach.

"I grew tired of living in the cities, where we are going has possibility." he said as he casually looked out his window.

"Possibility?" I questioned him.

"Yes, just wait til we get there," he said with a grin as he turned to face me.

"Joseph" I whined

"Its Joey, from now on call me Joey, it sounds less formal." he said indifferently at me.

"So we are moving to the middle of nowhere to be less civilized?" I questioned

"I don't see it as being less civilized, I see it as being liberated," Joey said cheerfully.

"Well that explain the accent in your voice," I criticized, "Do you often forget that we were born of noble blood?" I hissed

"That time and place in our lives was over 250 years ago!" he snapped, "For once stop

acting high and mighty, it wouldn't kill you to learn a little humility," he glowered as he turned he turned towards the window again.

"Fine just this once I will humor you just because I have nothing to lose," I sighed "But for how long are we planning to live here?" I asked as I gazed at him.

"I am thinking 5 to 6 years at the most, with the way we look we can't stay any longer than7 years at the most, do us both a favor and try to act like a young lady of 17, people already see you as being wise beyond your years," he said irritatedly while looking at me with his left eyebrow arched up.

"So you want me to behave like a giggling floosy because that is how most girls to my 'apparent' age act," I hissed.

"Some do, but that is not how I want you to act, try beinnggg... hhhmm free spirited just try opening your mind and have some fun, be free, enjoy life," he said persuasively.

"Excuse me but I do have fun, I do enjoy myself," I said trying to convince Joseph, but he gave me look that said he wasn't convinced.

"Fine I will try and act younger, that shouldn't be to hard, right?" I said.

"When we get to our new home we will see how you do," was all Joesph said as we finally came to a halt.

"Well, this is our stop," said Joey as we exited the carriage, the property had a large brick fence surrounding it with an iron gate. From across where we stood several yards away from us was our new home, a beautiful Victorian manor it wasn't big, but rather small I guess this is what my brother meant by 'learning a little humility', the manor was humble looking, but still grand and we did have room to frolic about in the yard and at the back of the manor was the most beautiful garden I have ever seen , full of my most favorite flowers from France, it almost reminds me of home.

"I thought it would be nice to bring a bit of France with us," he said standing behind me with a smile. Although from inside the manor everything else was simple, my brother was right we just came with what we needed.

'I did say I would try' I thought.

One week later

I guess my brother forgot to inform me that he had taken a job as deputy under Sheriff Swan. He said it was a way for us to know what goes on around Forks and that it would be easier for him incase he needed to erase someone's memory if we were ever caught doing something out of the ordinary. He spent all last week with Sheriff Swan as his tour guide enjoying the sights, went on about telling me about what he saw and who he met. I was glad at least one of us was amused. Since we now live in the woods I had to do some other changes, for one I had to change my wardrobe, I was used to wear elegant dresses and now I go about the manor in casual attire. I was also getting bored by the day of being stuck in the manor that I decide to go for a run.

"JOEY! Iam going for a run," I yelled from the garden

"Thats good, be back by sun down, if you need me I will be near the coast," he said as he made a dash out of the manor.

And with that I made a run for the deepest parts of the woods when I thought that I had ran enough I walked for a little while enjoying the peace and quite. Thats when I happened upon a lake, just standing there and admiring the scenery and again even the smallest parts of Washington was able to remind her of the country side of France.

'Now with how much I ventured I will know where to teleport,' I thought

'It is such a nice day I think I will go for a swim,' and just then I teleported out of my clothes and into the lake with a big splash. I must have spent no more then an hour swimming that I decide it was time to go home, so I as I made my way towards the shore and finally on once on land I went for my clothes when I heard a noise to my left and I turned to see a tall indian staring down at me from up upon a large rock a good 15 ft away from me. I stood frozen for a while not knowing what to do, so I looked passed him making him think that there was something else there that caught my attention and just when he turns his head to look behind him I teleported myself home.
