Two brothers, they drive. Two enslaved souls. A path neither chose, on a journey that nobody knows. They ride around looking for darkness in light. When they will find it will be not right. Poison to the touch. Fire for some, the night waits. For Sam and Dean to come, with rising flooding gates, dawn rises, when dusk is through. Of Edward and Bella a story there is too.
Out
of sunlight sits. Peering across to morning bliss, non aware of
waiting fouls, he leaps to pounce on victims sounds.
A
violent rush, then chase begun, a hunt two wait for feeding
time.
Brothers
race, a chase begun. Stopping dead, it has now begun. A brother was
provoked out of the night. He bares a hissing silence, a staring
pair.
For brothers both, gripping arms, a feast is waiting for siblings shun the pair for playing dirty. No headless corpses, no salting sprays. Knives seem useless and fire empty. The two are numbered. The king appears, his eyes glazed over and white as pearly fear, they yell out in warning, to each other, a desperateness faltered by no hope.
People start talking, mouths moving fast, eruptions invoking. A family to fear. "A new daughter" "a brother to fear". Ears perking, the brothers stay strong. Vanquishing demons through trees they come. Tearing and slashing, mouths gushing of blood.
They make it to cover and stay inside. A pair to look upon, never had they laid such eyes, on creatures so ruthless. Embarking such pain, too callous, too deadly, evil an act.
Approached
by a figure out of the trees, they run fast behind him, falling to
graze.
Only
once back up, spines tingle with fear, of creatures so deadly, living
so near.
"Are
people safe?", "we do not harm humans" the figure spoke.
"Humans?" one asked. "But you are!" "We only do
not seem the same creatures, nor do we act or think."
"Then
what's with the hiding?" one asked of him. "We are
different... "You will see. Follow a little further and your
fascinations/questions, will be revealed to you.
They
followed in haste, the figured moved swiftly and faster, almost a
shadow, blending ahead, nobody had spoken, then until they had
reached the end.
A
house soon appeared. Many were standing clear. For our leader to make
his way closer too. There they all stood both brothers in waiting.
Scared of what next, of those others from trees. Farther south from
these 4. All female except the one.
A
taller, thinner figure, he stood by their sides. A woman greeted, the
one stared. He wasn't sure, our leader nodded, his stance was clear,
the two were no threat, they were in need of help, and they
misunderstood. Lowering their guns they dropped them too.
Hands
in the air, they were unsure what to do. A girl approached, she was
beautiful. her skin so white and pure, her eyes a deep brown, her
scent was sweet as sugar, too much too clear they both fell for her
alluring charm.
The
others chuckled the male came forward and held her hand. He was less
enchanting. He spoke clear, "welcome to our home, you two almost
nearly had yourselves some too-much to handle back there."
I
think we could have handled ourselves just fine, thanks."
"Right.
[laugh] with these? [Eyeing their gun now lying on the green grass by
their feet]
"Wait
a minute, how do you know who we are?" –You're demons?" he
asked them, confused. "Not exactly…but we do have our ways. We
know that you are Sam and Dean Winchester, your father was john
Winchester and you hunt…well, evil things." –"So you knew our
dad?" Both boys staring at each other in astonishment to their
surprised expressions. Never having heard of the likes of such, these
creatures before. After all they had seen and know of and about, of
their father's findings and even their own. These creatures weren't
any kind of smoke-demons they'd come across before. These were
flesh and blood beings, 100% of their own being, creatures of a
disturbing kind.
"No,
we…, none of us knew your father, I am sorry for his passing; he
was quite dear to you both.
The
reason I know, is because I have a gift, I can see… Well let me
introduce myself, I am Edward Cullen, these are my sisters and this
is my wife Bella." My father, mother and brothers are dealing with
those of our kind you were unfortunate enough to run into before.
They are going to keep them out of our way, at least for now."
Sam:
"So you are like them?
Edward:
"no, we don't feed like they do, we only feed on animals."
Dean:
You mean to say, you feed? On animals?
Feed
how, like you eat them?
Edward:
"We…hunt them, then we feed off them, by drinking…from their
blood supplies." Edward says, frowning in distress of what he
is.
Sam:
"Vampires!"
Edward:
"Yes we are, don't worry, we won't harm you. Please, don't be
afraid."
Dean:"Don't
be afraid!?-Is that what you say to all of your victims before meal
time?" he says on impulse, sceptical of the vampires.
Edward:
"Who, the deer? Or Lioness? No…they can't speak quite as well
as you two can." He says smirking at Dean.
Sam:
"if those…'things' were vampires, why were they…
'Different' to you, was that – cut off-
Dean:
"Whets that!? –Pointing up at the sky-,
Edward:
"To answer Sam, yes that is…we both have different sources for
our feeding habits. That's nothing to worry about; my brothers are
just making a bonfire for our friends from before." [Crooked
smile]
Dean:
That some kind of joke we aren't in on there Draco?
Edward:
"They're burning their remains." He says sighing in defeat and
bowing his head down.
Dean:
"Why? Just to make sure dismembering them didn't get them dead
enough already? He said with a disgusted tone.
Edward:
"To make sure we're safe! Don't you understand? You do the same
to your enemies?"
Dean:
"Yeah, with a shotgun to the head, but that's for a whole other
reason, how do you even…"
Edward:
"Know that…"
Dean:
"Yeah!" [Surprised]
"Well,
as I mentioned before, some of us are gifted. I have the gift of
reading minds. I know what you're thinking and your brother too.
Actually everybody I've ever come across, I have been able to see
what they are thinking, know what they know. Except that is, for my
wife, Bella." [Looking down-pained smile on his face]
Sam:
"She is the only one?"
Edward:
"She is the only one, yes." [Looking at Sam now]
Sam:
"Okay"…looking over at his brother…"Hey, Dean, why doesn't
this ring any bells, about what we know about vampires and these guys
making any sense to me right now? Did dad ever mention-"
Dean:
"Vegetarian Vampires? Hate to make it any clearer to you Sammy, but
No...Dad never mentioned ANY of this! Damn it!"
Sam:
"Right, well, what are we going to do?"
Dean:
"I have no idea, I feel like we made a leap to another time, right
now or something, [laughs] maybe…
Sam:
"what!?"
Dean:
"Maybe the Impala is a delirium and we've gone back to the future
or something? –You know, when Vampires are good again-
[smirks]
Sam:
"DEAN!
Dean:
"What!?"
Sam:
"Yeah, sure, make a JOKE Like you always Do…'cause that's
going to help us both out a lot right now." He yelled, trying to
hold in his rage for his older brother's stupidity at that
moment.
Dean:
straight and thinking clearly again…"OMG Dad! Just a little
heads-up...That would have been a hell of a lot of help right
friggin' noW!"
Edward:"
You guys don't know what… [Face hardens] -Looks to his family and
back again-.. Happened?"
Dean:
"Wait what! WhaT!?…Something's happened to US!?" lifting his
arms in the air and dropping them in outrage.
Edward:
yes. When you drove across the border, you were tracked and followed
north until you stopped. You were set upon. On our land. That's why
we were there, to help you. We saw them coming and that's why we
came..."
Sam:
"You had to help us?"
Edward:
"They were trespassers on our land"
Sam:
"We saw it…like more than 'one' of you did?"
Dean:
"Do all of you have whispering powers or something?"
Edward:
[Rolls eyes] "No. only Alice and I have of us here. My brother
Jasper to. More of our kind has one talent or another. Not everyone
does though. The reason 'we' [gestures to Alice and him] knew is
because Alice could see you coming, she could see your future."
Sam:
"Dean, we didn't know we were being tracked?"
Dean:
whispers to Sam, "Yeah, I mean how we could not see them, pick up
on their trail on us. No mistakes."
Sam:
"The eyes…" whispers to himself
Dean:
"And you like being this way? –Looking straight at Edward- You
enjoys being a disgusting blood sucking cannibal?-Does that satisfy
you!?-almost turning red with rage at the idea.
Edward:
ignoring Dean, "yes, sorry, they have trouble controlling their
thirst, so… it is both their hunt for the sacrifice of a human for
their blood that gives them that colour. Because of that, they are
stronger too."
Sam:
"Stronger? Like…because of the… [Shakes head] b...blood? That
makes them stronger than you too."
Edward:
"We are better prepared, they may-be stronger, and we have better
understanding of how to use all our abilities to fight. They do
not."
Dean:
"Answer my question EDWARD!"
Edward:
hesitates, "No. I battle with it every second of every passing
minute of every hour of every day. I did not want to have to live
this life, I wouldn't swear it on anyone, but it was my only
choice."
Dean:
"Your only choice? You chose to be…this way, why would anyone do
that? The strength? What was it, the immortality-'cause I know you
bloodsuckers can live forever~"
Edward:
"Time has passed, it doesn't matter now. I am this way and I
can't change it. Believe you me; I would go back if I could. I hate
what I am. I don't want to have to survive this
way!-drinking-killing- for the likes of staying alive. But I do it,
in the most unthreatening way I know how, because I have to."
Dean:
"No you don't!-You could stop! You could cease to exist the same
way you became what you are. You know that."
Edward:
"Maybe once, there was I time that is what I wanted, but not now. I
can't now."- [his eyes glimmer in the moon light, shimmering he
makes a quick glance at his wife's hand. keeping his head low"
Dean
and Sam realise what he means by his words.
Sam:
"You must over a century old then. How long does it take to become
the way you are?"
Edward:
snapping his head back up, "I am. Not quite that old, but it does.
It takes practice. You must betray your senses and wants and needs,
fight for the other side of you that is fading away. The human side.
The memories the emotions. They don't last. But you try, you hold
onto as much of that as you can and you fight, every day, you fight
for what you know is right, even if it isn't a better life for what
you want it's a better life overall for everyone. Humans. Our kind.
That's the difference."
Sam:
"Right, well, thankyou, I suppose. For making our job a little
easier."
Rest
of Vampires: [smile/Laugh at the idea of being beaten by these two
boys]
Edward:
[smirks, head down]… "Anything we can do to make it easier"
Dean,
"Ok. So what' are we doing here, and why did you help us and why
haven't we heard of you?
Edward:
[laughs] "Well, we need your help. We saved you because we were
stopping them. But we knew you were coming. [Alice smiles] The reason
you don't know of us is because we don't want to be known by your
kind. As you can see we don't appear anything but a family of
strange humans who live out in the forest, away form other humans to
the unsuspecting person. And…there is. The other reason, the reason
all other vampires haven't exposed us. A higher power. They control
what becomes of those who, let's just say, don't stick to the
rules."
They
keep our kind safe from your kind.
Dean:
Rules?
Sam:
Who are these, others, vampires like you?
Edward:
Yes, there are rules we must all follow, even humans have rules they
must abide, with our kind, as to make sure that humans do not know we
exist among them, and we have one rule. We must expose ourselves.
Those who do are punished. The 'others' Sam, are vampires, yes,
but not exactly like us. They are more like our other kind. They feed
off humans themselves, they choose to take the natural path. They are
the most powerful of our kind organised into a sort of family like
mine, with different positions though. More of a military
value."
Sam:
"Oh…I see. I think I understand now. Dean, they do seem like the
good guys in all this. "
Dean:
"Ahuh…hmm…yeah, yeah I guess they seem kind of like the middle
men. Or vampires…or whatever."
Edward:
it is not we humans should fear however. The Guard of infantry, they
are abroad, living in Volterra, they are known as the Volturri guard,
in Italy. From there they govern the world and keep the well…bad
vampires in line.
That
is why they have come to be.
Dean:
"And they kill innocent people, still."
Edward:
"unfortunately, yes. It takes more than you know from us to stay
away from feeding on humans. They choose the way of traditional
vampire behaviour. It is not in our power to change or judge. It will
continue."
Sam:
"That's sick. Those poor people. Innocent, gathered to feed an
army of vampires. How horrible."
Edward:
"Yes. You see our-."
Dean:
"yeah, we understand why you are what you are and why you don't-
do or do what you don't do..."
Edward:
"hahaha...yes."
Sam
and Dean look at each other in disgust at the thought of
feeding…
Edward
notices, Edward: "Look, we know it isn't enough to stand here and
try and justify why it is we do things the way we do, what we do is
such a hard thing for us to try and understand sometimes, most of the
time. But we need you to focus and listen. It maybe too much for you
to take in at the moment, although we need you too. We need your
help. For my family. Forget about the others; don't think of them
the way they are. I know it's hard, just remembered we are not
them. We didn't choose their path. We chose this life, but we did
better with it what they could not. My family and I we are different
to our kind, and we don't want your lives, so for that I ask you,
please.
Dean:
"He's right Sam, I mean they did save our lives, we owe them at
leats one favour. Hell we would have been apple sauce back there if
it wasn't for these. Guys."
Sam:
"yeah. I guess we owe you our lives."
Edward:
"Thankyou."
Dean:
"Sure." So I guess we can go now since it's too dangerous for
us to be here then?
Sam:
"DEAN!!?"
Dean:
"What! You actually want to help them? Come on Sam. it's a
trick..."
Sam:
"Dean…OMG...just for one second would you take in what just
happened for once. They are Vampires sworn to protect their own by a
bunch of war-crazed maniac who would kill them for it and your just
going to take the easy way out and leave them NOW, right after they
told us al this and after they helped us NOT get killed. Your just
gonna leave. What makes you think they won't be after you for what
you know?"
Sam:
"Dude Listen... they let us see them for what they really are, they
let us know things we aren't suppose to know. Especially US since
we hunt them and their kind."
Dean:
"SO?-you think they'd give a crap about any one else if they
didn't know they were gonna use us before hand, any other human,
you think they'd care!? I bet they'd kill them the first chance
they'd get."
Alice:"…NO!
- we wouldn't…"-
Edward:
"Alice, its ok...-
Bella:
"No, actually we wouldn't. My family are not savages. They are
good. They may be vampires; they may need to hunt to stay alive. But
they 'CHOOSE' animals as their prey. They 'choose' to be
different, to have what humans have. They don't want to be
monsters!"
Sam:
"Wow, you…you're not as old as the others are you?"
Edward:"
Bella…I-don't think-
Bella:
"I'm 18..."
Sam:
"No…I mean. When you were…-"
Bella:
"I was...-
Sam:"Uh...Your
only recent…you are-"
Edward:
"Bella… [Head in hands] She's chose for it to be this way…
None of this matters now! You're both going astray from the point
here! It's-
Sam:"…O-M..."
Dean:
ohhhhuhhhh…Saaam...You still want to help them now? Huh! After they
turned a teenage girl into one of them! I bet she didn't have a
choice did she!? The Bull you guys spin...OMG! I almost believed it
all too!-"
Bella:
"No! It's true!"
Edward:
"Dammned it Bella! Stop!"
"Now
listen to me!! This is all about another subject entirely; I promise
we can talk about it later, but for now. Now you must come with us,
you must do as we wish. We can't explain it all right now, but I
promise you and Bella promises you that it was NOT involuntary, her
decision to become one of us. It wasn't a snap decision. In the end
she just chose this path. If you will come I promise it will all be
explained to you later."
Sam:
"Okay."
Dean:
"what! Okay! Sammy are you insane!" accumulate
Sam:
"No. I believe him. Fine we'll go with you."
Dean:
"No! I am not going anywhere with you. What did you do to him! –
You guys pulling some voodoo-hocus pocus crap on him...huh!? You
trying to convice me, well No! And let go of him...we're leaving
right now! COME ON Sam! RIGHT NOW!"
Sam:
"No Dean, we're staying here."
Dean:
OMG Sam, I swear to god I will shoot you where you stand before I let
them take you and make you some kind of mind-slave!-come on Sammy,
don't you see what they're doing!"
Sam:
"Dean! what are they doing, huh!?- They are telling the truth, I
know it. Put it all together dude, why all the elaborate stories and
facts. What are they hiding? Why find us and bring us in!?
Huh?"
Dean:
"Great, yeah…that's is Sam. go with the bad guys go save some
demons, or while your at it RUBY!"
Sam:
"Shut up Dean! Just shut up and take it easy. You need to calm down
and relax. We're all friends here. If you over react any more we're
gonna have a problem with our friends here."
Dean:
Sam! COME ON!!!! -We are not staying here to fight with some enemy
vampire nest of son's o %$#!'s! Come on!!"
Sam:
"Dean we're staying, I'm staying and you're staying. I don't
care if you think they're bad guys trying to take advantage of us.
We're going with them. Or at least I am. With or without your
help."
Dean:
"Really…? Humph... [Really peeved off at the whole situation and
his younger –stupid as brother-right now…well FINE! If it makes
you happy. And you want to die tonight. I'll come along. I'll be
the last thing you see before you die too. Let's go. Come on. What
all this about!?"
Edward-the
others- chiselled faces. Don't say anything, \don't move or speak
a word.
Sam..:
"Ok. Let's go."
Just
then footfalls and shadows appear. A friendly 3 approach.
Sam:
"Who are they..?"
Edward:
"they are what we've been waiting out here for."
"My
father and brothers."
Sam:
"Ok. But why couldn't we hear them until the very end,
approaching."
Edward:
"For the same reasons you didn't know you were being tracked.
They were actually here for a while. They saw the last of our
conversation."
Sam:
"Really, but when did-"
Edward:"
We don't make much noise when we move around. We can be very quiet.
"Sam
Dean, meet my father Carlisle and my brothers Emmet and Jasper. You
might need to watch out for jasper, he isn't as conditioned as the
rest of us. Just keep a distance."
Dean:
"great! So there's a chance we actually COULD die!"
Sam:
"Hi, it's ...a pleasure to meet you. I'm sorry about my
brother. He tends to worry too much about this sort of thing. In his
blood. You know..."
Dean:
yeah Sammy good going, nice one…If you say it like that, that one
[jasper] will surely want a piece of me now."
All
vamps: Laugh out loud. Giggle to them.
Carlisle:
"Don't worry Dean; I'm sure jasper will be fine with you to in
our presence. I'm sure he's come across this sort of thing
before. [Jasper and Bella make a quick glance at each other]
"Nice
to meet you both, we've all been introduced then. I guess we can
continue this inside if you now like? [Directing his question at the
boys]
Dean:
"Sure. Might as well make it as quick and friendly as possible.
[Mumbles something unintelligible while making his way forth between
the two ides Sam/vampires]
Sam:
"I guess we're off?" I'm sorry about my brother… [Hang head
in embarrassment]
Dean:
[from up ahead] Ohh...don't even apologise Sam. I mean everything I
said."
In
a follow the leader type scenario they all make there way to the
house.
Girls
Bella and Edward stayed with Sam.
Carlisle
leading..: "Just right up this way, Deans got the idea."
[Smiles]
I'll
meet you at the house, he said. Off he went, Emmet and Jasper
followed in suit. Fast they dashed off into the trees ahead. Followed
by all the others except for Edward and Bella who stayed behind with
a slow moving Sam.
Edward:
"I'll show you the way, follow us.
Sam:
'Yeah. Hey! [puts out hand] you're Bella, was it?"
Bella:
[laughs] "Yes. That's me. Nice to meet you, so, where are you two
from?"
Sam:
"Dean and I? We're from Kansas...yeah.
Bella:
"Oh… [Laughs] 'Looks like were not in Kansa anymore, Toto!'
[Giggles charming vocals]
Sam:
Right, [laughs along with Edward] So how long have you two been uh…
you know..?"
Edward:
"Married or Vampires?"
Sam:
"err…both?"
Bella:
"well. We've been married for a while. Vampires even longer.
[Laughs]"
Edward:
"She's a little younger than I am. [Laughs-inside joke]"
Sam:
"I see"
Edward:
"as you know we don't always begin this way we were human once.
Bella was human not too long ago. She made a choice… [Cringes at
the painful memories]"
Bella:
"Ill tells it. [Pats his arm lovingly] We were in love and we tried
everything to prevent us being together, but in the end it's all we
wanted and couldn't live without it. So I chose to be what he is.
To be together. I couldn't be apart from him, just as much as he
couldn't be from me. It hurt us too much to stay that way. It
almost kills- well. Yeah."
Sam:
"Oh. I'm sorry. You had to –'
Bella:"Oh
no." it's fine. It's in the past and things are right now. He
just is tender when things are brought up that remind him of the pain
he felt during that time. I don't think he was used to his human
feelings before he met me."
Sam:
"Right. [Smiles/awkwardly at the thought of them both
together/sympathetically]
Sam:
"So how do you guys…"
Bella:
{laughs]
Sam:
"Oh no. I don't mean..." [Makes a red embarrassed flushed face
at the thought]
Edward:
"it's ok. I know what you meant Sam [smile-laugh] well; we were
human once…so we did everything you would do on your wedding day.
Bella was still human when we did it though. Both our families were
there."
Sam:
"So yours didn't know that?"
Bella:
"No, and they still don't, they can never know. It's the only
way they can remain safe. Plus, asking permission to marry from my
dad was an experience in itself. I don't think them knowing would
help our case."
Sam:
"You must have really loved him to be changed into...-"
Bella:
"it wasn't only for him... [Smiles] it was the only way there
was. There is no reverse on the situation, if there was he would have
probably preferred it. Being with him forever. That's all I
wanted."
Edward:
"we even have a daughter." [Smiles]
Sam:
"A child? Vampires can..."
Bella:
"It's the reason I had to be changed so early. Otherwise it would
have been much later on."
Edward:
"We only did it so you would survive. It was the only option we had
to keep you alive, we tried everything."
Bella:
"I was human when..."
Edward:
"yes, vampires cannot reproduce, not after the change, it's
unheard of."
Bella:
"Would you like to meet her, she's 6!"
Sam:
"6! But how is she? I mean..." [Dumbfounded and gasping]
Edward:
"Being half human, we didn't know the consequences except for one
other case. But she seemed to grow quite quickly compared to a 9
month pregnancy. My father seems to believe it's because of my
venom, once having bitten Bella; the baby grew exponentially after
birth.
Sam;
"Even during [gulp]?"
Bella:
"yes, even then. He was sapping from me my every ounce of energy
'til I was weak enough they chose to go through with the plan.
Sam:
"Wow! So why did you choose to keep it?"
Edward:
"We didn't know we wanted to stop the foetus. She wouldn't let
us."
Bella
said no and so did Renesmee."
Sam:
"Oh, right. Hey…uhh…I was wondering, how can you have a mother
and father, they've obviously not your real parents, are
they?
Edward:
"Oh no. they just act as our guardians and so do my siblings, to
keep the human aspect real for those paying attention enough to
notice anything. We are actually known to the humans as adopted
children of the you know we are much older than our bodies
tell you. Once we are turned we stay the age of whatever we were when
we were changed."
Dean:
Right...so where is this place, and where exactly are we heading, not
underground is it. Anywhere dark.
Edward:
No [laughs] funny that's exactly how Bella reacted when I first
brought her home.
Sam:
She did?
Edward:
yeah, except she asked where the dungeons and moats were.
[Laughs]
Dean:
[laughs] Cool chick.
Edward:
[smiles]
Sam:
so where 'are' we going?
Edward:
I'm guessing it's far from a dungeon with moats. [Smirks]
Edward:
Sure is. We're heading for a house. What would the neighbours think
if we were living in a dungeon? no, we got to blend in. [smirk]
They
ARRIVE:
Dean:
Right, this is blending...This place is HUGE.
Edward:
when you have time, money accumulates. [Wink] this is what we could
afford.
Dean:
I'd hate to see what you couldn't afford.
Edward:
[leads way]...come right in, please...
Dean:
Isn't it usually [in the movies] the humans who have to invite the
vampires inside? [Confused]
Edward:
yeah! I wouldn't know. Just another myth I suppose. [Smiles]
Sam:
[laughs]...This is a nice ornament. Looks like it's really old.
Dean:
that almost sounded like something I'd had said.
Edward:
Sure, well it's an antique. Carlisle used to use it back almost 200
years ago, when [wink] it was apart of his own personal collection.
Now they're just props. Too weak and fragile to be used, so he keeps
them here, as reminders.
Dean:
reminders of what?
Edward:
his human life, before he was turned. [Grimaces] his memories.
Sam:
right. Well. When are we gonna...
Edward:
Soon Sam. Don't worry. My father should be here soon.
Sam:
I thought you guys were super fast why he hasn't...
Edward:
he was already here. He and my mother went to find some one they were
meeting with in the forest. They'll be here soon.
Dean:
WOW, you know that w/o even asking anyone? That's impressive.
Edward:
thanks...now come in, sit. We don't have any food, but make you at
home. There are four bathrooms. 2 on each floor. And spare bedroom up
the stairs. You're welcome to it for however long you are with us
for.
