Chloe POV
I was running. Running, through a vast sea of green, a forest, a beautiful forest. I could hear and see and smell everything, every little insignificant thing. A bird flying from a tree, the rustle of the leaves and the sound of it's wings moving slowly, up and down. I could see even the tiniest movement, smell the nutty scent of the trees, the sharp, almost tangible aroma of their resin, the fresh sound of a bubbling stream somewhere in the distance. It was amazing, and a very familiar feeling, but I couldn't remember why. It didn't matter anyway, I was flying. I stopped short when the trees began to thin, revealing a large and exquisite clearing. I stepped from the shade of the trees and into the grass, tall grass that came up to my knees, I could feel it brush against my legs, soft as velvet. There was a man and woman across the clearing, where the forest began again. He kept a protective stance over her, she seemed unconcerned as she took a few more steps into the long grass and flowers, he followed on her heels. She was tall, though dwarfed by him by more than a foot, her hair was long, dark brown and silky, it matched her eyes, and she wore it tied back in a long braid that fell long past her waist. He was enormous, his skin was like satin over steel and his blackish-brown eyes contained a gleam of unsegmented wildness, his hair was cropped short and he had a large, circular tattoo on his left arm. They both wore animal skin, she a sleevless tunic and loose trousers, her feet were bare. He wore no shirt, exposing his muscular chest, and a pair of trousers that came down to just below his knee, there was a leather band around his ankle. She smiled at me, he looked at her absolutely disgusted. she looked at him and said...
"peace, ahote," ahote, restless one, she turned to me and said "come, wihakayda. do not fear us." wihakayda, little one. The translations just popped into my head like magic. He scowled, crossing his thick, russet arms over his chest. I took a hesistant step forward and he snarled, coiling himself to spring. He flew into the air, higher than any normal man should, and sumersaulted in mid-air, transforming into a massive, blackish-grey wolf. The shredded remains of his trousers flew in all directions and he landed with a thud growling and scratching up dirt with one paw. I stumbled backward and fell onto the damp grass, he advanced and I covered my face with my arm. He lunged for my throat...
blackness, nothingness.
I awoke, bathed in sweat, panting for breath and tangled up in my sheets. I carefully extracted myself from the bed and made it quickly, leaving it semi-neat. I pulled open my wardrobe, pulling out a pair of jeans and a soft, white baby-doll top, pulling them on. My tan slipper-boots went on and I pulled a brush through the tangles in my hair then went outside to meet my sister's on the balcony. I guessed they must be out there, as their beds were both empty. As I suspected, there they sat. Hayley on one side, Caitlin on the other. I stood in-between them, resting my arms on the ledge and let the fragrant Italian breeze blow my hair back.
We watched in silence as the sun rose, bathing the city in fire and honey. The sunrise was truly magnificent, and though we had watched the same one a million times before, it still captivated us. Cat looked sad, and lonely. she had us, but I think a different kind of companionship was what she sought. It wasn't as if guys hadn't asked her out, a lot of guys had asked her out, but after a few disasterous dates, she put her love life on hold, it made my heart sore to see her like this. Hayley looked out wistfully, and I assumed she was seeing Jesse's face, rather than the sunrise. Jesse was her sweet, handsome boyfriend, but their love was kind of forbidden...but that's her story to tell.
My uncle Aro was Caitlin's father, and she resembled him greatly. Her jaw was soft, but set and determined. Her hair was long, silky and black with streaks of Burgundy and snowy white. Her wide, gold doe eyes and innocent appearance never betrayed a hint of what was underneath, she certainly looked extremely innocent this morning, her hair tied into two long braids and her eyes sleepy. She was sweet, but nowhere near as calm or serene as she appeared. She was always considered the baby, though she was only around five minutes younger than Taylor, and ten minutes younger than me, plus she was the smallest by about half a head . Despite this, she could hold her own, not to mention kick some ass when need be. Uncle Aro could definatly hold his own, and kick ass, but there was nothing innocent about him most of the time. Her mother was a beautiful and intelligent human called Ebony-Rose Davidson, who died at the birth. Caitlin never knew her.
As for Hayley, she had my uncle Caius for a father, and her personality almost mirrored his in many aspects but her features were a perfectly blended, heartbreakingly beautiful mix of her father and mother. Or at least, how she looked in the black and white, candid snapshot of her dancing with Caius at a formal event of some sort. Hayley was a little shorter than me, with narrower shoulders and straighter hips. She had long, flowing black hair that I can only describe as liquid coal, dark as midnight with a strange sheen, like city lights on a dark bay. We were all lithe and graceful, Caitlin especially. Hayley had deep, violet eyes with darker, smoky rings that leaked into her iris here and there, like paint in water. Her bone structure - High, sloping cheekbones with hollows underneath, sharp, defined jaw and chin and a high forehead- she inherited from her father. Combined this gave her the delicate appearance of a Christmas angel or an ice sculpture, with the underlaying force and defiance of a teenage vampire. Her mother was a powerful sorceress, Ava Lucaria, who also died when Hayley was born.
That just leaves me, and I'm nothing special. I'm the tallest and the oldest, with curved hips and soft brown hair that falls to my waist in small waves. Like a curtain, to hide behind. I love my sister's dearly and would do anything for them, though Hayley sometimes walks all over me, and Caitlin uses me as a human - well vampire, but you get the drift- barbie doll, dressing me in this, taking me shopping there. I like reading, the only way besides dreams, thatI can escape into oblivion. Yes I can dream, because I am only a half-breed vampire, I guess my mother must have been human, but Dad never talked about her. I was pretty much a carbon copy of him anyways, my father, Marcus. I sat there, my eyes flitting from leafy green to chocolate brown to amber and then back again. You see, my eyes were strange, I could change the colour to whatever I wanted, unless I really lost control over my emotions, then they would change to reflect that emotion. I was a human mood ring. I was shy, but sarcastic and cynical, just like my father. Carbon copies.
While I mulled over every detail of my cousins and myself, the sun climbed higher and higher into the sky and we all took on that faint and mysterious half-breed glow. I took this as my cue to leave, Caitlin followed, then Hayley. I changed into a tight fitting, blue checkered top and black skinny jeans with blue converse. Caitlin approved, and grinned, and I couldn't help but smile too. I went to the library to collect the next two books I would need for bulgarian class with uncle Caius. He seemed to think we all needed to be fluent in fifty different languages. I already spoke english, french, spanish, dutch, latin, kantanese, manderin, greek, italian, turkish, lithuanian, polish and god knows how many others. I could play multiple instruments, do gymnastics, ballet, street dance, ballroom dance, latin dance, horse riding, falconry, swimming, tap dancing and other things that I would probably never need to use again. We were all put through it. I guess that was just uncle Caius's way of looking out for us. I took the books back to my room when I got a message on my mobile. I pulled it out of my pocket and tapped the message icon
'hey c,
Is today okay to take hayley out to dinner and a movie, will you and hayley be able to keep your father and uncles busy until our return? operation date night commences at 17h00, over and out.
from j x'
I smiled. That Jessie, he was a strange boy, couldn't text without writing in full sentances, but he made my sister happy and he made me laugh, plus he was a perfect gentleman with a good personality. And he had the face and arse to match. What more could you ask for. I put my books under my arm and tapped a reply...
'hey J,
tonight will be great. Going shopping with the girls in a while, I'm sure hayley would love to see you there ;) operation date night is a go.
from C x
"Chloe," said Caitlin as I passed her in the hallway,
"Caitlin," I returned, sent the message and looked up. Oh god, what was that little pixie up to this time?
Caitlin's POV
I followed after Chloe and since approving on her outfit i walked off into my room, we had just about 20 minuets until we went shopping so i decided to catch up on the latest Vogue magazine. Ah heaven! It's quite unusual to even have five minuets peace in this place. I lay on my bed flicking through pages when Alec comes in. See what did i tell you no peace!
"uh..hey Caittlin-"
"uh-babbabab-SHHHHH!" i hushed him i hardly had time for him when i had a magazine, end of page and ... done."Now what was so important you had to take me away from Voage?"
"do you wanna go out with me?" he asked. I swear I just threw up a little bit.
"uh, no. goodbye" I lifted my magazine to my face again, take me away from vouge to ask me stupid questions! pah, dumbass.
"Fine" he said indignantly, " then i have to show you something..." I proceeded to ignore him, flicking the next page of my magazine, until he started to unzip his pants.
I slowly lowered my magazine and cocked an eybrow. "What are you doing?"
"do you like it?" he asked, fuck no you weirdo, I'd cover that thing up if it was mine! Huh, strangely tempted to stick a post-it note on it to see if it covered it up. I threw my magazine down on my bed.
"Oh yeah!" I growled, I say growled but I really half-choked on the laugh I was trying to supress, this was gonna be shit funny. i pounced on him and slowly undid his shirt, pushing him onto chloe's desk chair near to where i kept some tape. I slowly unbuttoned his jeans and he had this massive dumass smile plastered on his face. Asshole. He started kissing me and touching me, and I fought the urge to punch him in the face when he started touching my boobs and pinching my arse, but revenge would be sweet . I grabbed the tape and "stuck him to the chair".
"What the fuck are you doing?" he yelled, fighting against the tape.
"awww ickle Alec thinks i don't know what's going on." i said in a mock baby voice, "I DON'T LIKE YOU DEAL WITH IT!"
"but where the heck are you taking me on this freaking wheelie chair?" he whimpered "and don't pretend you didn't like what you saw," he mumbled, I slapped him upside the head with the magazine I had brought from my room.
"you talk too much" i then put tape over his mouth and wheeled him out the door. On the way to my dads room we passed Chloe, carrying two large books under her arm and her mobile in her hand.
"Chloe" i nodded.
"Caitlin" she nodded back, tapped something on her phone then looked up and did a double take. She looked at me questioningly, cocking one eyebrow.
"ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies, sister," I said
"Touche,"
"Go to my room in the den, turn on the computer and switch on the secret camera I installed in my room, get hayley and wait for me there," I said with a secretive wink and walked on. She left looking bemused.
Chloe POV
I saw the fear in Alec's eyes. I would of helped him if i actually liked him; personally i thought he was an ass just always trying to get with Caitlin. So i acted like everything was normal and did as she asked i knew it would be good. God this place is weird! I carried on walking and turned the corner into our little living room, placed my books on the coffee table and went into my room. There was another door in the corner of my room with a scanner, a keypad and a lock on it. I walked over to it and placed my hand on the scanner, tapped in the code and turned my key in the lock then heard the door click open. I threw it open wide to reveal a cream coloured hallway with a short flight of stairs. I jogged down them and opened the second door that led to the den. It was about the size of a large house, and we used it as a game room when we were bored, a safehouse if we were ever under attack (this had not happened yet, but our father's were very cautious men), a spare house if we needed space ect.
I went into the large, open kitchen area and poured myself a glass of orange juice then set off in search of caitlin's rooms. I came to a door covered in notices, CAT'S ROOM KEEP OUT or AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY or ENTER ON PENALTY OF DEATH, but I had her express permission to enter so these signs didn't concern me, I hope.
I let myself in to her first room. A large room with a fourposter bed in the corner, a large fireplace, a plasma screen TV, a door that led off into her walk-in wardrobe and a large, fancy-looking state-of-the-art computer. I turned on the computer, and when it powered up I hooked up the Secret camera to the plasma screen and plugged in a little joystick thingy so that I could zoom in and such. There was nothing to see as of yet so I went to find Hayley. I found her in her room, playing pacman on her computer. I told her what Caitlin had said and she followed me back to where the secret camera was set up. We both sat down and watched the screen, and shortly after we arrived there was finally something to see.
Caitlin was pulling Alec on a chair through the door and to the side of the bed. She lifted his constricted form onto the bed and taped him to the bedpost before pulling out a post-it, scrawling something on it and sticking it to his forehead. The note read, as I found out when I zoomed in:
'I want you more than ever Aro'.
Ahh she is evil, so evil. Hayley and I laughed so hard we were gasping for breath when Caitlin came bounding in and pulled up a chair.
"So...funny or what?" she asked
"hell yeah" Hayley giggled "but one thing, how are you going to get your dad to go in his room?"
"already there!" she smiled deviously "DAD! Alec wants you, he's in your room" she yelled "hahaha! now ladies all we have to do is wait-SHhhh! i hear footsteps'
Aro's POV
I walked down the corridor wondering why Alec needed me. And finaly i came to my room hoping he was actualy there. I mean i've always thought he was a strange boy...
"Alec?"
"MMMMMMAHHHHHHHHHH!"
I had no idea what he just said. Maybe it was something to do with the ducktape covering his mouth, but i'm just guessing. But wait what's this?
" I want you more than ever Aro" I read from the pice of paper stuck to Alec. At this point he was shaking his head like mad.
Sigh, the poor boy's in denial " Ahh Alec i always knew this day would come"
"MMM-MMM" shaking his head once again.
"Shhh Alec i know it's hard but don't fight your feelings. And i know it's hard to resist me but i'm sorry i don't like you in that way."
Sigh "but i can give you something to remember if you're that desprate..." I then stood up and kissed his fore-head. "But do remember this dosen't mean i'm gay like you, i actually like women but if this act stops you from giving me winks from across the hall i'd gladley do it." And with that i walked away.
"Maybe in a centery or so Alec" I yelled to him. As i passed my daughter's room i heard some insane laughing. Hmmm.
Hayley POV
"Maybe in a century or so alec," said uncle Aro and wer nearly pissed ourselves laughing, giggling and chuckling ourselves hoarse like maniacs. It was the funniest thing her devious little mind had cooked up yet. I told her that and she beamed. Once we had recovered ourselves we decided to go out shopping before anything else happened. We took Chloe's car, a black BMW something or other (I don't really pay attention to the names of cars) that we had dubbed lucy. When we arrived Caitlin went into Shopping frenzy, and Chloe skulked off in search of books and music, while the mirth I'd been retaining from Caitlin's prank began to dissolve and I went back into wallowing in self pity. Chloe was inevitably found, and frogmarched into the nearest department store while my happiness dissapated into nothing.
I trailed behind Caitlin and Chloe, thinking about him. My Jessie. I hated my father and uncles for doing this to me, keeping us apart because of some age old feud. I suppose I should tell you the whole story, you see, Jessie's creator, master, father, whatever you want to call him, is Vladamir, leader of the Romanian coven with his brother, Stefan. My family's bitter enemies, they were always trying to overthrow each other. Yeah, my life sounds like a fairy tale, once upon a time, forbidden love and all that shit, my life was about as far from a fairy tale as you can get. I smirked at the amusing mental image of me, eating Bambi or converting Tinkerbell over to the dark side.
Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice a figure stepping out of a shadowy alleyway to my left, face obscured by the hood of his dark grey hoodie jacket. His hand clamped down on my mouth and his arm wrapped around my waist, I couldn't break his hold so I knew he had to be another vampire. He dragged me backward into the alleyway, a second had yet to pass and I was already beyond the entrance of his shady hiding place. I bit down on his hand and I felt his body jolt as the venom stung him. The hold stayed firm. When deep in the ally, he examined his hand, sucked on it to get some of the stinging venom out then rubbed it vigorously on the side of his jeans.
"Who are you?" I asked in a surprisingly confident voice.
"What, you don't recognise me?" He answered, then pulled down his hood to reveal a mop of golden hair and amber eyes, more gold than red. He
drank animal blood because I introduced him to it, and he hated killing humans, but he had to drink some human blood to keep up appearances with Stefan and Vladamir. My Jessie.
I flew at him, wrapping my legs around his waist and kissing his face again and again. He laughed and wrapped his arms around me.
"How did you know where I was?" I asked. He pulled out his phone.
"Chloe," he said simply. Ah, so that was who she was texting earlier! I'd have to thank her later.
I pulled him in and we shared our first real kiss in ages, not a chaste peck in passing but a deep, slow, sweet kiss that lasted a good few minutes.
Caitlin POV
Hayley came skipping back to us and that was my first sign that something was not right. Hayley did not, under any cicumstances, skip. She mooched, she strutted, she did her little pissed off I-don't-need-to-talk-to-you walk thing, but she never skipped unless ... aha!
"So, how was he?" I asked her quietly, giving her a knowing look,
"how was who?" she said unconvincingly.
"I think we both know who I'm talking about, and I also think we both know I am going to find out, one way, or another." she smiled that little smile that told me she meant buisness.
"Alright, he was perfect. Chloe's been in contact, she told him where I was and he came to see me, were going to a dinner and movie tonight if you guys can cover for us?" She asked hopefully.
"Of course we will! You daft girl!" I laughed, "Now, first matter of buisness, what are you going to wear?" she smiled.
I searched for about an hour, and found the perfect outfit, plus accessories. A black babydoll dress that came down to just above her knees and a pair of calf length boots with 2 and a half inch heels. I bought that, Chloe's outfits and a couple little things for myself and we headed back home.
I sat hayley down in front of the mirror in the mini-fashion boutique I had in my part of the den and we started work. Chloe did her hair, curling it a bit so it was wavy, sliding a pin in here, brushing it back there, then she did her nails, giving hayley an immaculate french manicure. While I, weilding my blusher applier and eyelash curler like a true artist, did her makeup. A little help from us and voila! a glamour model, well, more of one than she was already. She put on her dress, zipped up her boots and we were off. Chloe went to distract daddy-o and my uncles while I snuck Hayley round the side of the house to where Jessie was waiting.
We spotted him, the headlight's on his porche lowered as to remain inconspicuous. He was dressed in a royal blue dress shirt and a black blazer and slacks. Blonde hair in disarray, amber eyes glinting in the headlights. They sure made an attractive couple. I waved them off and made my way back to the castle to help Chloe.
I walked up to a study door where you could hear the argument going on in there from a mile off. I opened the door, and slipped in, seemingly unnoticed.
"Why? why dad, why keep it from me, lie to me all these years?" Cried Chloe, anger and pain evident in her voice.
"We were just trying to protect you sweetheart," Uncle marcus replied, looking flustered.
"Protect me? you've lied to me for a century and a half and you think you can just pass it off as caring for me?" She threw back at him,
"We tried to do what was right," Marcus returned, holding his ground.
"No, you tried to keep me from the truth because she wasn't the right kind of monster for you. I'm leaving, right now. I'm going to that place, the place from my dreams...oh god! my dreams, they all make sense now. oh, how could I be so stupid!"
she stormed out and I followed her into her room. She pulled out a duffel bag and started chucking in clothes.
"I'm coming with you," I told her.
"Cat, you don't have to," She said
"you need me there, wherever you're going,"
"Please, don't give up your life for me,"
"I won't be, Please, just let me come."
"Thankyou," She paused in packing and threw her arms around me. I hugged her back, then helped her pack up the rest of her stuff, packed mine and booked the next flight to seattle. When we had just finished, hayley came bursting through the door to the den, having taken the back entrance and brought jessie with her, he was waiting downstairs.
"Hey, you two. What's wrong?" She asked,
Chloe stood up,
"I'm, well, We're leaving. I need to tell you guys somthing, something that I have only recently found out. it's about my... my mother,"
