Daylight's Demise:
Turned
Readers-
This is the second…part in the Daylight's Demise fic. that I started a while ago. Since I stopped so abruptly I decided that I wanted to continue this, because I reread it all, and totally fell in love again, and I was surprised that I ever stopped writing it. Now I'm back and trying to come up with a new name for it. A different name, so for now on it will only be known as Daylight's Demise: Turned because I'm at a loss for good story titles.
Sorry for my extended break and I hope that you will read this.
.:Lacy:.
Nikki's Point of View
Ever since I became a vampire a few things had changed. My temper, for one, was easy to control, if I was mad, I just lash out at Edward and he stare at me in utter surprise. My sarcasm was draining by the day. My hate for everything that lived and breathed was going away too. Along with the hate for my mom. I didn't know why I hated her so much, but I guess it was because she left me. It had been so long ago, I don't know why I still cared. My dad and her got in a fight. He started to get angry and almost hurt her badly, but since she had my brother living inside her, she didn't want the baby to get hurt. So she took off, and was so caught up trying not to be blinded by her tears, she left me. And she didn't come back till after Cal was born, and by then, I had already thought it was something I did, even though I was only three. I had a reason to hate my mom, but she wasn't a bad person, I couldn't see why she would leave Edward though, whenever he looked at me I could see the hurt in his eyes, but one thought always comes to his mind, if Bella didn't leave, Nikki wouldn't be here. Though, he would have my mother. And not me. And all together, I think he would be happier with her, but he'll never admit to it.
The night was cold, and I sat and stared out of my huge open window. The Cullen's had been nice enough to let me stay with them and even found me a pretty huge room. It was quiet…everyone besides Edward and I had gone out to hunt and wouldn't be back for at least two days. A suspicious amount of dead wild life had been showing up, so they were going further away, making sure not to rouse any unneeded attention.
I could hear Edward's thoughts coming at me like bullets, he was confused. I knew it was wrong to…listen in…but that never stopped me.
Someone's coming…someone…so familiar. Bella?
At the thought of my mother I knew that something most be wrong or something, so I went down stairs and right when I made it down the stair way, the door bell rang. Edward was at my side in a second, I glanced at him and then walked to the door, I pulled it open and saw my mother's flustered face.
"Nikki?" She said it so low I didn't know if it was a thought, or she was actually talking to me. I smiled, for, like, the first time in forever, "Hi, Mom."
Dumb tears. Dumb emotions. Oh, Nikki.
Her tears welled over the edge and she hugged me. I stiffened for a moment, and then wrapped my arms around her.
"It's okay, Mom," I said as I tried to hold back a sob that I had been holding for fifteen years. My throat felt like it had a fist of clay jammed in it from trying to cry.
OoOoO
Three weeks of being a vamp and I still remembered how to make tea. I sat down next to my mom on the couch and placed the mug in front of her. Edward lounged in a chair across from us. Mom bended down to pick up the tea but paused, staring at it, then she looked at me.
"It's not poisoned, is it?" She stared at the cup uncertainly, I shook my head, and Edward chuckled. She took a sip the placed it back where it was and cleared her throat, "I didn't hear from you and I wanted to make sure you were okay. I'm sorry I didn't call or anything," she looked stressed.
"It's fine, I should have called, or something. You know," she smiled when she looked at me and spoke again, her voice threatening to break, "Being a vampire fits you, of all people, Nikki. You've gotten in four car accidents, hence why I would never let your father repair your car, you fell when rock-climbing…how many times was that? Oh, three. You fell down three flights of stairs, woken up from a coma, and yet still went cliff diving, and broke your leg, that's nine lives, sweetie, you're blessed to be immortal." Edward was staring at me.
Yes, all of that was true. And the coma thing, yeah, I was in a coma for a week or so, and I woke and the first thing I said was "That was awesome." That was the time I got three feet off the ground rock climbing (the third and final time) and then lost my grip and fell back wards. My head caught my fall.
"Maybe your not as graceful as I thought," Edward's voice sliced through memory lane, I smiled wickedly. My mom glanced at the clock and sighed heavily.
"I have to go, but if you ever need anything, just call me, Nikki," she embraced me again and kissed my forehead, and then she let herself out.
Edward sat next to me, "A coma?"
I smiled, "I'm an adventurous person." He rolled his eyes and kissed me.
Edward's Point of View
Bella had left me a long time ago, when I thought I'd never be happy again, I met Nikki. Bella's daughter. She was nothing like her mother, not clumsy, she did have a horrible temper; most of her features were different too.
Black hair, silver eyes, pale flawless skin. She was almost more beautiful then Rosalie. She hated me because I wouldn't turn her father into a vampire, and she had watched him die, so we thought until he showed up as a vampire and then turned her too. The more she hated me, the more drawn to her I became. As different as she was from her mother she still had her scent…her smile and she used to have her eyes. Until she was turned, she had warm brown eyes, but now she has platinum, sharp and silver. I didn't want to die alone, and now I have Nikki, but I hoped that she cared about me as much as I did for her.
I walked up to her room, and she was sitting silently on her couch, I walked in and she looked up from her laptop and then went back to typing.
"Hey, Edward," she said, pausing, her pale hand went to her lip and she started to pick at it. An annoying habit that I can't help but to find intriguing.
"Hello," I took the greeting as and invitation and sat next to her, I was just about to read what was on Microsoft Word when she closed the computer. She looked at me.
"Can I help you?" Though she sounded annoyed I smiled, making her bit her lip (a sign that she would have blushed if she was human).
"What are you up to?" I tried to pry one of her hands from the laptop but she made no attempt to let me see what it was.
"History paper," she answered without any hesitation, I watched her, and she looked me in the eye. She wasn't lying…was she?
Nope. Didn't finish the homework, and I'm barely passing history, her voice rang inside my head. I nodded.
"You didn't finish it?" I asked, surprised. She rolled her eyes, "I may be a vampire, but that doesn't mean that I actually pay attention during class." I knew it wasn't true, she got mostly A's and B's, she's good at everything thing in school except math. Which she complained about.
She opened the laptop and everything was minimized, she closed out everything and before I could read anything on the history paper, she saved it then closed it also, and then she shut down the computer and set it aside. I watched her flex her muscles then slump down.
She leaned her head against my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around her waist. I wasn't so alone anymore. I stayed with Nikki the night, we ended up just talking till it was time to get ready to go to school, she called the shower first and disappeared from the couch.
OoOoO
Nikki was being nicer then usual, she was quiet, too. Just acting the opposite…
She had wondered off during lunch and when the bell signaled the end I went to look for her, since she skipped the next class too. I walked around for a little while, she had been in the same seventh period class as me, but she wasn't there, and she didn't come. So, I skipped eighth period to find her, she wasn't anywhere in school.
Then I picked up one someone's thoughts.
Did I see that Nikki girl leave with Damon last period? Wow, I thought she was with Edward.
I froze. She left? I headed out to the parking lot and I saw her running to me. I watched as she swayed before me, making no attempt to steady her.
"The…Volturi…are…here…" she said, still trying to regain her balance. I watched her, even though I was still mad, but grabbed her arm so she could stand straight, "I barely…got away…" She fell and was breathing hard, the rise and fall of her chest, rapid.
Then the words processed. I barely got away.
Nikki's Point of View
I tightened my grip on Edward's shirt, I knew he was mad, but he didn't understand. I had only been giving Damon directions when I was brutally hit in the back of the head, and watched Damon become unconscious. Then I was dragged out of the school, and watched as they drank from Damon then laughed horribly at it. Yuck.
"Nikki? Are you okay?" Edward's voice broke through my headache and buzzing in my ears, I looked up at him and tried to nod, but then everything lurched around me, making me horribly dizzy. I struggled, freeing myself of Edward's arms. Could I still have that freaking disease? Edward was on his knees beside me, shaking me.
"Nikki? Nikki? Nikki!" Edward's voice barely reached my ears. Then when I didn't think it could hurt anymore, the buzzing stopped, the world slowly came back into focus, and I saw Edward leaning over me.
"I'm sorry…" I whispered, he pulled me to him, his icy arms wound around me.
"It's not your fault," his voice was soft again.
I was about to shake my head, but I decided against it, "No, I didn't leave with Damon…the Volturi…I think it was…grabbed us when I was giving him directions, and…they might have killed him…I ran back…as fast as I could…" I coughed; hoping to god there was no blood.
"Are you okay?" His voice was filled with worry, and he was still mad. Probably because I was upset that I had watched a kid die. But I proved myself as best as I could, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him hard. I could feel his shock but I pressed myself to him and when he wrapped his arms around me I pulled away. I watched his expression become annoyed. I smiled at him and he chuckled, holding me tight. I pressed my head to his shoulder and he kissed the top of my head.
"We'll sort this out," he whispered, "I promise."
