A/N: Hi guys! This is a story revolving around the OC my friend and I created.
Lokima, the friend in question, was my idea-guy and the inspiration for this story. Everyone drop him a PM and say hi!
Anyway, here's the Prologue. Sorry for all the POV jumps, it doesn't happen as much in the chapters to come.
Cole's POV
I was sitting in a remote are in Colorado, waiting impatiently for my newborn to 'wake up' so I could take him back to Italy with me.
The young boy, of ten or eleven years of age, groaned and rolled onto his side, opening his thirsty black eyes and looking right at me.
I watched him as he watched me in fascination, his new enhanced eyesight trying to take in all of the changes around him.
After a second he spoke hesitantly, "Hi?"
I simply greeted, "Hello."
The child sat up and asked, "Where are we? Who are you?"
I introduced, "I'm Cole, a member of the Voulturi. I have been sent here to take you back to Aro."
He looked me gave me did not mask his confusion.
I sighed, and decided to just tell him, "I've made you a vampire."
The boy's eyes stretched wide and he asked skeptically, "Is that possible?"
I smiled and stood up, helping him needlessly to his feet.
"It's very possible. You see that boulder? Try running to it, as fast as you can."
He did so, ending up 300 meters away in less then four seconds. I heard his gasp and decided to introduce him to his new hearing.
In a very normal-level voice I announced, "See, you have enhanced speed, and hearing obviously. Your strength will be incredibly, as well."
Experimentally he picked up the boulder and flung it at me. I darted aside and it sailed off the top of our ledge, tumbling down the mountainside.
I walked over to him and smiled.
He looked at me, absolutely giddy with excitement.
"This is so awesome!! I can't wait to show my friends an-"
I cut him off, "Oh, you can't do that. You can't show anyone, or be near anyone, unless you want to kill them. Vampires need human blood to stay alive."
It took a few seconds for that to sink in, and his face set hatefully as he did so.
He growled, "So I can never see any of them again?"
I shook my head, and before I realized what was happening, a scorching inferno was ravaging my entire body.
I was on fire!
I panicked, but I didn't have a chance to escape the deadly flames.
My body began to fall into ash, and the last thing I ever saw was the boy staring at me, his eyes dancing with the reflection of the black flames that were about to end my existence.
Leo's POV
I sat and watched this Cole character as he died.
It was very unsettling, but what made it even worse is that I liked it.
I liked watching the horror in his eyes as he literally crumbled into nothing.
I liked the single anguished scream that vibrated trough the empty canyon-y surroundings of the Rocky Mountains just before his body was burned so badly he died.
I sort of even thought that the mysteriously appearing and discolored flame was kind of pretty.
I like it because he stole my life away, and now I had revenge.
The life that I was happy with, the life I cared to terribly about, was over now.
My parents, my two older sisters and my younger brother, all of my friends. If I get near them, they're going to die. I am going to kill them.
Drink their blood.
I think I was going to throw up at the very thought of it, but I didn't. Instead, I just shivered once.
Now I was all alone, right?
What do I do?
I don't know how to be a vampire!
Do I become a bat or something now? Should I run away when I see a priest, and avoid the sunlight, and garlic?
And what the hell gets rid of this damn pain in my throat?!
God, it's terrible! It feels like something scratched it open and tossed salt on top of it.
I glanced across the horizon, and frowned. The sun was going to rise soon, I had to go and hide. I definitely don't want to be the next one to die!
I had quite too much fun leaping from cliff to cliff as I made my way towards the edge of a town.
I could, maybe, find a dark alley to sit in as the day goes by or something, right?
I started walking towards the buildings when I passed a man making his way the other direction. The scent that floated off of him was unbearably sweet. Like nothing I have ever smelt before.
A low, threatening, growl bubbled unconsciously from my throat and I knelt down.
The man looked over his shoulder curiously and I sprang, knocking him to the ground.
He gasped when I instinctively snapped my mouth closed on his neck.
The insanely wonderful liquid, the blood, instantly dulled that clawing pain as it washed down into my stomach. It tasted so great, kind of like honey and watermelon at the same time.
When his body was cold and limp, when he was dead, I let go and he fell to the ground with a soft thud.
Horror smacked into me and I gaped at the lifeless form.
I just killed someone!
I just drank their blood!
What kind of a monster did that man make me?
I stumbled back numbly and looked around in terror. Had anyone seen me?
What do I do with the body?
What do I do?
I hadn't even though about attacking this man, I just did it. I couldn't help myself! Was it always going to be like that?
I turned around to flee and my eyes widened when I saw that someone was glancing at us.
She stepped out of her car and asked, "Hey, what's going on?"
She seemed genuinely concerned.
Had she not seen me?
Did she just think this guy had passed out?
I didn't want to take that chance.
She would tell on me, she would send the people after me with torches or whatever.
I walked over to her, and her face twisted with fear, "O-oh my god, w-why are your eyes red?"
Were they? I didn't know, but I would find out later.
Instead, I growled and used my new strength to yank the lady onto the sidewalk. Her shriek was cut off when I covered her mouth and sank my teeth into her flesh.
Alice's POV
Alice and Bella were standing on the outskirts of Glen Haven, Colorado. It was a town not too far away from their own home in Masonville.
Bella asked warily, "Are you sure he's alone, Alice?"
Alice nodded, "I'm positive. And he's starting to become a little feral, so we need to find him quickly."
Both of them jumped when a high tenor voice asked, "Are you two.. like me?"
Hell, where did he come from?
Bella turned around and smiled, "Yes, we are. We came to find you."
He narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "What for? Are you Volturi, or whatever?"
The Cullen girls shared a swift glance and Alice asked, "What do you know about the Volturi?"
His bright red eyes became distant and he spoke glumly, "I know that it's they're fault I can't go home. They're fault I am such a horrible creature."
Bella frowned and promised the boy, "You're not horrible, you're just not practiced at restraining your thirst yet."
He perked, "So you mean I can eventually stop drinking blood?"
Alice felt bad, but she had to crush his hope, "No, you'll always need some sort of blood. But it doesn't have to be human. We drink animal blood, and so does our family."
Bella smiled, "Do you want to come and meet them?"
The boy asked hesitantly, "What if they don't like me?"
Alice gently took his hand and promised, "They are expecting you, Leo. They're going to love you."
I blinked the hazy picture away from my eyes, not at all startled to see that Jasper was practically in my face as he leaned in close to me.
The second he realized I was 'conscious' again he fretted, always expecting the worst, "What did you see, Alice?"
I wasn't exactly sure.
But it seemed to me like Bella and I have a little brother to go find!
Suddenly terribly excited I asked, "Which direction is Glen Haven, Jasper?"
Obviously, he was sucked into my extremely upbeat moment and he smiled, answering me cheerfully, "Oh, it's not too far from here actually. It's like forty miles west, go south a little bit. Why? What are you doing over there?"
I gently pushed him aside so I could bounce onto my feet.
"There's a kid, his name is Leo. I saw us, Bella and I that is, inviting him to come join the family."
Jasper frowned, and I glared stonily at him.
"What could possibly make you unhappy about this?"
Pessimist.
My husband sighed, "We can't just whisk some immortal child into our family's life. You know an illegal being that will have Ciaus chasing after us in no time. That man is out to get me."
Jasper had quite a few unpleasant run-ins with Ciaus during his life.
I irritably responded, "Ciaus is out to get everyone. Besides, Jasper, we can't just leave him out there. He's dangerous, wild. He'll expose the race and then things will get sticky for everyone soon."
Emmett had entered the room a moment ago and he asked, "Who's going to expose the race?"
Jasper answered acidic, "A vampire child that Alice wants to take under her wing."
I smoothed my shirt theatrically and calmly pointed out, "I don't have wings, Jasper."
He sighed, "Don't be so difficult, you know what I meant."
Emmett interrupted our half-hearted argument, "What's wrong with taking it if it's only going to mess everything up? At least then we can keep it out of trouble."
Jasper shrugged indifferently, smart enough to know he was going to loose this battle.
I asked Emmett, "Where's Bella, do you know?"
Carlisle, Esme, and Edward were off hunting, and Rosalie was... Well, who knows where that woman disappears to sometimes?
Emmett shrugged, but Jasper informed me, "She's downstairs practically dying of boredom."
I smiled and trotted down into the basement. Bella was lying on the couch, various books opened around her. However, rather then reading them, she was just staring blankly at the ceiling.
I sat beside her and asked, "Have you run out of things to do?"
She turned her head to look at me, glaring slightly, "I give up on learning Dutch."
Recently, after feeling a little left out when she learned we all know at least two languages, she started trying to learn one that none of us knew.
Not even Edward or myself, who a few decades back had a bet that I could learn more then him even though he can cheat.
I won, because while he tried to learn complex, useful, languages like Chinese, Portuguese, and Russian, I learned 43 different dialects of African languages.
Crafty, I personally think.
Anyway, I asked Bella, "Want to go on a little road trip with me?"
She sat up, "Sure, where to?"
So, as I dragged her into her Ferrari, I filled her in as we made our way to this town.
When I spotted the sign from my vision I slammed the car to a halt.
Bella frowned at me, "Your going to ruin my tires if you keep doing that to them."
I glared at her. Why did she care about that?
She smiled innocently, "Okay, I'll just ask Rose to put on new ones."
Rolling my eyes light-heartedly I stepped out of the car and hovered by the fence.
Bella asked me, "So, he just shows up, right?"
I nodded and she asked, "Are you sure he's alone, Alice?"
I suddenly became very excited- again. That was the start of the vision! Rather then answer her, I turned around and glanced into the distance.
The young boy, Leo, was hesitantly making his way over to us.
I nudged Bella and she turned around, too, smiling at our little friend.
