Lilian Swan and the Twilight Saga
Forks Washington Friday 20th July 2001 Summer
My father Charlie is the Chief of Police in a rainy town called Forks, my younger sister Bella had already moved a year before me so the choice to leave Phoenix was already made, I just had to wait a little while. After picking me up at the airport we drove towards my new house which was a modest two storey building, with three bedrooms, a bathroom with some space cleared for my ameneties, I had pretty much brought everything I owned with me including two games consoles, an electric guitar with amp and a sound system, outside parked in the street was a red Chevy truck and next to it sat a gleaming black Mercedes Benz C-Class AMG Black Edition,
"Whose car is that?" I asked curiously
"It's yours Lily"Charlie replied tone gruff "I figured you would want your own transportation rather than rely on me or Bella"
At that moment the front door opened and my sister poked her head out the door her eyes widened when she saw me and a broad grin spread across her face she ran outside nearly falling on her ass in the process, I chuckled quietly before getting out of the cruiser, Bella hugged me tightly and I did the same
"I've missed you sis" I said blinking back my tears as I realised just how much Bella means to me, looking over her shoulder I saw another vaguely familiar face poke outside
"Lily?" he said and a grin spread across my face as I recognized my pseudo-brother and best friend
"Seth" I greeted before we hugged "I've missed you alot"
"As have I"
The four of us entered the house and I smiled remembering the summers I used to spend before permanently staying in Phoenix
"It's good to be home"
Charlie showed me my new room and I said
"Do you think I could get my room soundproofed as I will be playing my guitar using the amp and I'll be doing so late into the night as I don't sleep much since the night of yours and Renee's divorce"
My father nodded "I'll call around and see who can do that, just try and get some shut eye as you've got school on Monday"
I barely supressed my groan at that, Charlie laughed before leaving my room and closing the door behind himself.
Turning on the tv and my sound system that was connected to my XBOX which had all of my music stored on it, I immediately selected my custom greatest hits playlist for Calm the Fire which are a six piece trance-metal female band from Dartford England, I flopped onto my double bed with my eyes closed allowing the music to calm me down.
When I awoke late on Saturday morning I found the house empty and a note on the table
Hey Lily it read
Just letting you know that I'll be working late tonight and Bella's away for the weekend so go ahead and order take out with the money I've left for you.
Speak later.
Charlie
I grinned before returning to my bedroom and plugging in my guitar I laid down some epic shreddage for a few hours, then decided to go out and explore the area surrounding my new home I grabbed a couple of cd's to keep in the glove compartment, I pulled into the gas station and looking around I spotted two women one was blonde and the other had hair as black as night,both had matching golden eyes I made a split second decision, approaching the pair
"I'm sorry to interrupt but can you tell me where the nearest beach is ?"
"It's on the coast of a nearby reservation which unfortunately we aren't allowed on" the shorter pixie like one said
"Why not ?" I asked curiously "oh by the way I'm Lilian Swan"
"We just aren't okay" the blonde snapped
"Rosalie"her companion said "that was uncalled for" flashing me a dazzling smile she added "I'm Alice it's nice to meet you Lilian"
"Can you tell me where this reservation is so I can have words with whoever runs it and get them to change the rules to allow you on the beach"
"Follow us and we'll point you in the right direction" Rosalie said I quickly paid for the gas and then followed them for a while and just when I thought this was some sort of elaborate plan to snuff me the car ahead pulled onto the side of the road and stopped, Alice got out and walked towards my car opening the window I grinned at her
"It's just around the next corner" she said before passing me a piece of paper "and that's my number so call me sometime"
"I'll do that" I promised then winked at the blonde "Rosalie doesn't seem to like me"
"I wouldn't worry about it" Alice said before rejoining her sister they sped away, I copied Alice's number into my phone and a small smile appeared on my lips
"Not even a day and I've already got a girl's number" I muttered before heading off in the opposite direction, I parked some distance away from a group of teenagers, taking a spot on a log I switched on my ipod to help me think.
Cullen Mansion Outskirts of Forks
In an upstairs bedroom overlooking the forest behind a stunning house,on the bed sat Alice her gaze unblinking after a moment the young vampire gasped realising what that vision she just had was about, there was a knock on her door
"Come in Esme" Alice said in the doorway stood a woman who was practically her mother
"I've found her" Alice said "the one I've waited two hundred years for"
"Who?" Esme asked sitting on the bed next to her daughter
"My singer, her blood called to me and I barely managed to hold onto my self control "
"Oh Alice"
"I gave her my number impulsively and she's trying to decide if he should call or make me wait until Monday" Alice pouted
"You've waited two hundred years I'm sure you can wait a few more days"
"I want her here in my arms, right now" came the petulant response.
"What's her name?" her mother asked
"Oh um,she introduced herself as Lilian Swan"
"Bella has a sister?" Esme asked tone shocked
"It would appear that way"
"Yet another human who is going to discover who we are" Rose said from downstairs
Alice growled at her sister's words before blurring downstairs
"You only say that because you're a bitch and you've yet to find your singer"
The blonde's eyes widened in shock and surprise,the shorter of the two nodded correctly interpreting the expression on her older 'sister's' face,
"After two hundred years I've finally found her and she is mine"
"You're referring to the human male who asked us for directions" Rosalie clarified, Alice nodded quickly.
La Push Reservation Beach
I was so immersed in my thoughts that I did not hear a group of people approach until a sudden tap on my left shoulder caused me to jump with fright
"Sorry" the fairly attractive blonde apologized "but who are you as we" here she gestured to the people behind her "have never seen you before?, I'm Jessica Stanley by the way"
"I'm Lilian Swan" I replied standing up "and yes I'm Bella's older sister"
"How old are you?" Jessica asked as she looked me over while looking like she wasn't trying to
"Eighteen and I'll be a senior at Forks High School" I replied "now I've got somewhere to go right now."
Returning to my car, I hit the speed dial on my phone.
Cullen Mansion Downstairs
Alice's phone suddenly vibrated an expression of shock appeared briefly,
"Hello?" she answered
"Hello Alice" I said "what are you doing tonight?"
"Nothing much" she replied her curiousity piqued "why do you ask?
"My father's working late, Bella's away for the weekend and I was wondering if you'd like to come spend the evening with me?"
She paused momentarily before glancing at her sister
"Go" Rose encouraged loud enough for me to hear her
"Ice Princess" my tone cheeky "have you got that stick removed from your arse yet?"
Alice burst out laughing at the outraged expression on Rose's face.
"Where are you, I'll come pick you up?" I asked.
"Give me a moment to get ready call back in five minutes" Alice replied
"Sure" we both hung up.
Alice ran upstairs,then stripped off before leaping into the shower located in her en-suite bathroom.
Drying off her flawless body Alice dashed back into her room and into the massive walk-in closet filled with so much clothing that it would make the Kardashian's jealous.
"The hell am I going to wear" she fretted
"I suggest something that will pique her interest" Esme said, Alice froze then grinned
"Esme, you are a life saver" her outfit selected the nervous vampire dressed quickly then hugging her mother and sister she ran out the door.
Not even a minute later I pulled up, Alice got in and away we went.
Swan Residence Upstairs
We arrived back at my house and then went upstairs to my bedroom.
"I have so many questions" I began before sitting on my bed, Alice joined me and turned so that her face caught the rays of weak sunlight through the open curtains,my breath caught when I saw her skin glow.
"You're not just human are you?"
Alice shook her head silently I looked her in the eyes and said
"I know the truth about you and it doesn't bother me at all"
Alice's mouth fell open in shock, she blinked rapidly.
"You're a vampire and although I should be terrified I know you can't bring yourself to harm me"
"How did you figure that?"
"Little things mostly"
"Like what,exactly?"
"Your eyes were like molten gold and when you blinked they were a solid black, when your hand brushed mine giving me your number it was like electricity hitting my heart"
"I think you doubt what I'm saying so here" standing up I took my shirt off "put your hand on my chest and feel me breathe and what you've already done to me, my parents got divorced and I completely shut myself off from feeling anything except anger then I meet you and suddenly now all I want is for someone else to fight for me"
"Oh my" Alice murmured her face had a heartbreaking look "you've dealt with so much and haven't turned into a raving lunatic which is extremely impressive and shows what type of person you are"
"I never back down and I never quit and enough with the heavy" I said just before my stomach growled "shit, I'm hungry"
A frown appeared on my face "are you hungry Alice?"
"I'm fine" she replied "get whatever you need and I'll be up here waiting"
"If you're sure" was my uncertain reply but nevertheless I went downstairs to order myself some take out.
Too low for me to hear her Alice said "it's been two hundred years since I last tasted human food"
"Since you can't eat" I said startling the vampire "I want to give you something else"
"Oh really and what is that?"
"A kiss if that is okay with you"
She blinked in surprise but nodded, I took my place and turned my head raising her hands Alice leaned in and when our lips met it was like the seasons all happening at once. my dinner lay to one side, I placed my left hand on the back of her neck and she climbed into my lap we both were still lip locked, my right hand went to her left hip, I moaned against her lips until we broke apart, I gasped for breath while Alice had a radiant smile on her face.
"Gods above" I said "that was incredible"
"Agreed" she replied "now eat you dinner before it get's cold"
"I feel bad eating when you can't" I said pausing between bites "it doesn't seem right to me"
"I'm fine" Alice assured me"besides I like watching you eat it allows me to see what you enjoy and plan for the future"
"I'd rather be eating you" I muttered .
Alice was looking around my room at all the posters, that were hung there
"You really love music don't you" she said
"Music got me through some of the lowest points of my life, I also enjoy movies, good food and spending time with people I care about" a pause "which I hope will include your sister one day"
Alice froze experiencing a vision, when it passed she said in confusion
"Rosalie appears to be on her way here for some reason" no sooner had she finished speaking, then there was a knock on the front door.
"I'll get it" I said, turning to leave the room, reaching the front door and opening it , in the doorway stood the other Cullen who had a rather worried expression on her face.
"Um Lilian right?" she asked at my nod "can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure, come in though" I said stepping back
"Thank you."
When we were seated on the couch Alice had followed me down and took the armchair positioned against the wall.
"While Alice was here, I realized something, a bit surprised that you don't already know"
"I don't know what?" my tone curious.
Rose took a deep breath "I think I'm your soulmate as well as Alice"
"Kiss me" I said "if what you said is true then the same thing will happen"
"Wait a second" Alice said "are you sure that Evan's your mate?"
"Only one way to find out" Rosalie answered before placing her lips against mine.
I lay back against the armrest of the sofa, still liplocked with the supermodel goddess, all to soon though my need for air took over.
"Holy shit" the blonde gasped her gold eyes smoldered "I think you might be gifted"
"What do you mean?" Alice asked curiously,
"I can't tell you"her sister said "you'll have to experience it for yourself"
Alice made her way closer curious to find out if what her sister said was true.
"Back for more are we" I teased Alice mock glared before straddling my waist and kissed me, my hands held her against myself, her eyes snapped open, springing off me,her chest heaving as she saw what Rose meant.
"Wow" was the stunned and rather hoarse statement.
"Believe me now" Rose said sounding smug
"Not to brag or anything" I said "but I'm talented in other areas"
"I bet you are" Alice sassed back, before her lips curved into a smile that had my panties grow damp "you'd love it if my sister and I made out in front of you"
"Don't tease me" I said "though if you want to make out, you'll hear no objections from me"
"There is one thing you should know" Rose said voice teasing "Alice and I, we used to fuck each other"
"Oh my god" was my appropriate response, there would have been more for me to say but that was interrupted by a massive yawn.
"Gods, I'm tired, and yes I know you both don't sleep but considering the lateness of the night,I would not feel comfortable you heading back to your house"
"What about Bella is she not coming back tonight?" Alice asked.
"She's spending the weekend with Seth Clearwater,so feel free to use her room rest in"
"Thank you Lilian" Rose said "and I apologize for being a bitch yesterday"
"Don't worry about it, goodnight"
"Goodnight" Alice said "sleep tight"
