To The Species

I broke the tree line quickly. Panting from the long run. But stopped at the sight of the beautiful meadow I had just run into. Flowers surrounding every rock, grass swaying in the wind. Stupendous.

I froze instantly, to take in my surroundings. Then, hesitantly took a step forward into the openness. You never know when some Poridye might be near, if they found me again. They are nasty,evil creatures that feed on the knowledge of any living thing. Poridye look just like humans, except for the purple eyes and long nails they posses.

I listen for any small sound indicating their whereabouts, a twig snapping;a stray footstep in the wind. Nothing noticeable.

I sigh in relief and run my fingers through my brown locks. Now what to do? How long until they find me? What does Aro think about the sudden attack?

"Cazzo!" I curse in Italian. Aro! Oh dear I hope he is okay, I can't believe I forgot. He did tell me to run without him, but I wonder if he is unharmed. Dear muppets I hope so.

At least I am okay. But...where am I? Somewhere foreign no doubt. It's gloomy and dark, the exact opposite of Volterra.

It starts to rain.

Fabulous.

I dart through the trees at a blurring speed, randomly picking a direction. Any passerby human wouldn't detect me other than feeling a small chill run through their spine.

The woods here are thick with life. Hiding from the rain under a mushroom are some Ulkish Elves.

Ulkish Elves are short things- at 2-6 inches. Women elves usually dress in flower dresses. Male elves usually dress in togas. They are originally from London, England and have existed over 4,000 years.

I stop to talk.

"Ciaosono amici elfo. Belle vederti! Vi perdono di parlare dove ?" I give greetings and ask where I am at.

An Ulkish elf stumbles forward, he looks about 200 in Ulk years. They are fascinating,like mortals, but only smaller and have pointy ears. Well, that and they can control plants.

"Um, Miss? Do pardon, but we speak English here. And if you don't mind, what in tarnation are you! Your aura screams black and white! NOT TO MENTION YOU'RE ON OUR LAND!" Friendly, aren't they? I just am dripping sarcasm right now. All of them gasp. And a woman elf of about 600 comes up behind the speaker. Carrying... a wooden spoon...?

"SCROOGE G. RESNOOLF! IS THAT ANY WAY TO TREAT A YOUNG MISS AS HERSELF! YOU APOLOGIZE THIS INSTANT!" She puts a small hand on her hip and points the spoon at him warningly, her eyes narrowed. Might as well scream abuse why don't yah?

"Bah Humbug!" He clears his throat and puts up a fake smile and tone, nervously glancing at the woman. "I am truly sorry for my behavior. If I do not want to get beaten with a spoon, I will have to be nice. So that said , let me help you, you are in Forks, Washington." The woman huffs and he rolls his eyes.

"Does everyone here speak English, Scrooge?"

" 'Fraid so. But, now can you tell us what you are? I don't feel comfortable with a stranger species around our colony."

I look at him cautiously. I AM on their territory after all. But if they leak any information it could be deadly to me. Well, not if I tell them the basics.

With my mind made up I clear my throat. The Ulkish Elves all hush down and look eager.

" I, am a mix. I was born as a baby to a Ritz and a Shape shifter. Then later bitten by a Natural." I wait for their reactions. It's always the same. I think this is getting old. Ugh, never mind me- I'm ranting again.

All the elves gasp and chaos breaks out. An Elder elf makes her way to the front. She has peppered hair and is wearing an orange flower. The Elder walks with a hunch and the others part so she can get through. The crowd hushes again, clearly she is someone held respectfully by them.

"I... didn't think it was possible! Child, you are in much danger. More than I can imagine, even after all my years of life. You must go before they seek you!Find other kinds. Make allies and seek protection. We cannot help you for we are too small." Her voice is wispy and breathless, from years of talking no doubt.

But I cannot see why someone would want me, I'm full of more trouble than I am worth!Hence Volterra. Aro... my father figure. I will not think of him! Bad Isabella, I scold myself. I wonder if they know of any allies or friends I can met around here. I don't have a clue how long I shall stay.

Better safe than sorry.

"Do you know of any species around here that I could interact with? Without them trying to fucking cut my head off?"

"Child, you are in the middle of sacred treaty land. You may chose one of two ways. But only one will change your future of death... One path leads to the Cullens, a clan of vampires who call themselves a family. Who sustain of animal blood. The second path leads to the Quilute Reservation. Home to shape shifters that protect mortals from evil beings. Only one girl is in their pack with nine boys. They shift to wolves. May the force be with you!" She bows and soon the rest fallow.

"Goodbye new friends! I thank you for hospitality and your wisdom. I know which way I shall go."

I start to run in the direction where I know my destiny awaits in.

I think.
