Chapter One
" Lovely. " her lips barely moved as she said that word. "The moon, Sebastian! Look at the moon! ". She began to dance in the water, sending playful smirks at the young man next to her. She grabbed his hand and he obeyed, moving his body next to hers. He was coordinating himself perfectly, like a professional dancer while she was letting her body move as it pleased. When she was done she laughed and fell into his arms. She smelled his scent of lily and honey as she touched his body and began kissing his neck. He gasped and pulled her closer. Sebastian felt her little hand touching his neck, then his lips and in the end playing with his hair. She laughed again, realizing what she did to him.
" Never knew you were romantic " he panted as he watched her green grass eyes pierce throw his body. He kissed her deeply, passionately.
Catherine knew it was time to move. She bit his lower lips and she smiled when she heard him moan. She began to unbutton his shirt slowly. When she was done she asked him " Do you want to feel a greater experience? " as she smirked. He nodded quickly as he threw his pants away, waiting for her. She began to laugh again. She lay him down and told him to close his eyes. She leaned down until their bodies were fully united and kissed his neck. She began to feel again the pleasure. When she got up she look at his dead body and licked his lips. It was a macabre sight. But her body covered with the white long dress that was now wet with blood and water made it incredibly irresistible.
Time goes by quickly when you are enjoying life and Catherine tried her best to feel great. She grew up alone, not integrating among humans or vampires. When she was with humans they were or too attracted to her or frightened and when she was with vampires they either looked down on her either tried to eat her because of her blood. Apparently, her blood was tastier than humans. She learnt to feed, read, write, draw and other basic things by herself. She never experienced love. It disgusted her.
Catherine's only friend was another one like her, only elder. Her name was Matrisha and she grew up in Russia. Matrisha learnt her how to lure " the food ", go into towns and not be seen. For Mat their existence was also mystery, so one day she left Catherine.
At that time she was 6 years old but she had the body and mind of a teenager. She learnt how to control herself so she could go to cinemas. Her first movie was about a boy that ran away from home to see the world. So the next day she ran away from the only place that she knew. She felt so free back then, running from town to town, sleeping in the woods. And then something happened. She met a clan called the Cullens. They also had another one like her that they called Nessie. But they were different, they cared about each other like in a family. Their leader was a man named Carlisle which had the same hair as her and as the time went by Catherine noticed she was like the female version of him. They were all nice people at the beginning. Her favorite was a big guy, Emmet that always made her laugh. Carlisle's wife, Esme treated her like her daughter. And the other ones, Edward, Bella, Nessie, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper were also nice.
They taught her to feed from animals. She didn't like it but Catherine did her best not to disappoint them.
Then one day, Carlisle asked her if she knew who her parents were. He asked her if she noticed that she looked a lot like him. Of course, they both assumed they were related and that fact was confirmed later, by a nomad called Jeremy. Jeremy could see the bonds between family members. He told Carlisle that Catherine was her daughter. It was a shock for the rest of them. Esme was upset at the beginning but she saw me as her a daughter from the first time they met so she just accepted the idea Carlisle cheated once on her. Apparently, they fought, Carlisle run and slept with my mom to clear his head. It didn't sound like him but everyone has his moments.
The next months were perfect for Catherine, she had a family. The only problem was that she couldn't handle animal blood. She lost control and killed three humans. She thought they would understand.
The unexpected happened. Everyone was sad but her father was angry. She tried to explain that she couldn't continue on feeding on animals but he kept reminding her that Reenesme could and why would she be different.
" How am I supposed to know, I grew up alone! You left me! "She said. And his answer was " It would have been better if you never existed. "
She realized he didn't want a daughter, his "children" were enough for him. Enough and perfect. He said that there was no place for her there no more.
She left and ran until her legs couldn't move anymore.
That was the past that she wanted to forget and she almost succeeded. Now, Catherine was stronger, she learnt to control her gift, she could easily fight a vampire. She was a real hunter.
After she killed that guy, Sebastian, Catherine had to leave the town. The humans were already panicking and all over the news was the same story: serial killer in the little town of Montespertoli.
The driver was an old man, in his late 60's, Fabrizio. He noticed from the beginning that the girl was different. She had this unusual beauty and a look that could make you froze. Also it was almost impossible not to look at her and he had to concentrate on the road. The worst part was that she was analyzing his every move. He saw her yawn.
" Signiora, you can sleep, I'll wake you up when we arrive. " Fabrizio said, almost whispering. His voice made Catherine shiver. It was something about old men that frightened her.
" No, that's ok, Faby. Plus, aren't we almost there? " she responded and he shivered when he heard her silky voice. She smiled watching his reaction.
" Si, we are. " the old man looked on the left. " Look, you can see the city. " he pointed and Catherine turned her head and saw the walls of the medieval city. " In five minutes we're there. "
She started to pack her things, the bottle of water and half-eaten sandwich, her sweatshirt and boots. She searched throw the bag for her money and prepared one hundred bucks.
" Where do you want me to leave you, signiora? " Faby asked as the car entered the first street. Catherine thought for a moment before answering to the nearest hotel. She was tired and needed food fast. The car was parked next to a hotel called " The Castle " and Catherine thought it looked presentable at least for two nights. Fabrizio helped her carry the bags even though she didn't need it but she let the old man do his job. She thanked him for the trip and his nice presence and gave him the money. He kissed her hand, said goodbye and leaved.
Some worker from the hotel took her bags and showed her where the reception is.
" Welcome to The Castle, can I help you? " a young woman with the scent of lavender asked her.
" Yeah, what's the best room you have? " Catherine wasn't in the mood to be nice to her.
" Well… we have a one-bed room at the seventh floor and it has all you need, TV, WiFi… "
" Good. " she stopped her and looked on her blouse which had written Vione on it. " How much, Vione? "
The woman quickly answered one hundred fourteen euro per night. Catherine accepted, grabbed the key and went upstairs. She could hear Vione tell the worker to bring her bags to room 56.
The hotel was decorated in a victorian-way and the room had a queen size bed and a huge bathroom. The waited for her luggage and as soon as the man left, she stripped and took a bath.
Ah, I missed this… she thought and started washing her blonde hair. She let her body relax and read a brochure about the spa treatments in the hotel. Well, even though they don't do anything to my skin, a massage is always welcomed.
She called at the reception and told Vione to book her a spa treatment for the next day called " Ferari Rush " that was with chocolate and milk at 8 p.m.
At 6:42 p.m she dried and then she ate an apple. The night was coming and the street lights began to flash. The city was beautiful, it had mystery in it. She dressed up in a pair of boyfriend jeans and a striped t-shirt, grabed her keys, put them in her purse and went outside to enjoy her time in the night.
If Catherine noticed something about human race, is that the males gather when they go to drink, and the females when they go shopping. Catherine came with five bags and new clothes and two of shoes. But who can blame her? She was a girl.
The next day she planned to go visit the city, see what people there are. But she let herself sleep as much as she wanted. Then she did the morning routine that every human has to do. She wanted to eat pasta, so she ate pasta. She flirted a little with the worker, Joachimo, who was blushing every time the touched him. And then she leaved the hotel and went to see the square. Vione told her that it was built in the XVI century and even had a huge clock that amazes people by its design.
When she arrived there and after she spent some minutes analyzing the "most beautiful part of the city " as Vione said, she sat down at a café and ordered a piece of lemon cake. As she ate it she saw a shadow. A blonde shadow. It was a vampire. She left some money on the table and ran after it.
Damn, I didn't expect to see any vampires yet… she ran not to fast so she wouldn't draw attention to herself. Where did it go… where did you go…
She saw a door close and she went throw it. She was now in the medieval part of the city. It was dark, well for a human, but she could see pretty well. She walked down the hall and at the end there was an elevator.
An elevator here? Hell, this Italians are modern.
Then she smelled his scent. She entered it and pressed the only button. As soon as the doors opened she ran following his scent down to the halls.
He can't be here, why would he be here? She kept saying in her head. She opened two grand doors. It that room there were nine vampires, one of them being…
" S'up… daddy? " she smiled like a cheshire cat at Carlisle. He turned around and all the eyes were on her.
