Midnight - escape from my darkest nightmare
My story began 1998 when my vampire Dad Carlisle fell in love with my (at that time) human Mom Esme. They met when my Dad treated her in the hospital after she broke her leg and they felt for each other instantly, because when vampires mate they mate for forever. Well yes, my Dad is a doctor. That might sound crazy, but if you ever met my Dad it makes perfectly sense. My family is different than other vampires; we call ourselves vegetarians, because we only live of animal blood.
My Mom's family didn't agree with her choice and wanted her to marry some bully, so my Dad took her away for their happily ever after. My family consists of my Mom and Dad, my sister Rosalie, her mate Emmett and my best friend Edward. Rosalie is the world's bested sister and like my second mom. Before I was born she was often sad, but then she took care of me (because my Mom was turned after giving birth and needed help taking care of me) and ever since she is always happy.
After meeting my Mom my family moved to New Haven to start a new live. They claimed that Rosie was Daddy's sister and Edward Emmett's brother. After two years Mom and Dad married and they decided that they would try to get pregnant before turning Mom. You need to understand that not only vampires and humans exist, but there are also werewolves and shape shifters and hybrids – half human and half vampire. That's me. Our world, the world humans aren't allowed to know about, is ruled by the Volturi, three brothers who are responsible to keep our secrets save and hold the knowledge of our world and they are doing a pretty decent job. Hundreds of years ago our world was ruled by the Romanians and they belong to the darker parts of our history. During these days people knew about Vampires and thought they could kill them with holy water or silver bullets – ridiculous.
During these days Vampires had to stay in hiding and Hybrids were forbidden. But these days are luckily over and the Volturi made new rules. Hybrids are now an accepted and cherished part of the Vampire society. There are special laws to protect us and the human women and severe punishments for those who break them.
Despite these protection measurements and high reputations for the families who have a Hybrid, there are still only seven of us right now, because it is difficult to meet the rules and to create a Hybrid. In other words: I'm quite special.
I was born on Sep. 13th 2000 about three month after my parents wedding.
After I was born my best friend Edward was quite concerned because he couldn't read my thoughts (he is a mind-reader) until my uncle Eleazar figured out that I was gifted, too. I'm a shield. That means that I can block Edwards mind-reading. My funny brother Emmett wanted me to block him too and my Daddy often worked with me on my shield, but I don't think that I will ever be able to expand it.
When I turned six Edward and I figured out that we are mates, too. Well I figured it out, Edward and my family knew the whole time (traitors) but Dad made him promise, that nothing would happen until I was a legal adult. Edward agreed, happy to have my father's blessing, but I was pissed. You must know that Hybrids develop faster than normal humans and are mature when we are seven, but my parents wanted us to wait for dating until I was at least 17.
And that was the time when everything went down.
