She didn't remember when it had started to rain or why she was in the city. She heard boots on the ground behind her. She didn't dare look, she only willed her feet to keep moving. The day had been chosen, she had been chosen and even the location had been chosen. He HAD to have those blue eyes to himself. Her boots slipped as she took the corner wrong. She laid a hand on her ankle as she looked at him, eyes wide with terror. She hadn't even seen him move as she screamed for her life.
Ashlynn looked at the paper. A photo of a missing 13 year old girl was on the front page. She sighed looking at the innocent smile. She looked over at the pack. She was visiting Forks with her mother's boyfriend whom she hated. She was annoyed that he talked trash about how he was the best werewolf ever. She blew bubbles into her milk via a straw. She was supposed to hate vampires. She looked back at the paper. Alexa had been only 13 when turned, of course the paper didn't tell her that, but she knew.
"Another new vampire,huh? Fucking leech!" her mother's boyfriend snarled. Ashlynn was tempted to point out she was only 15, not much older than the girl, but she knew he wanted to live with his hatred in peace. Her mother was showing off her belly, which Ashlynn felt was lame, she wasn't even a month pregnant yet. Her green eyes moved to her bipolar and always pissed off sister. She didn't yet transform, she was only 11 after all, but Ashlynn hoped she would be spared. As much as they fought, she didn't wish this on her.
Her mind kept wandering to Alexa. Why did the girl's photo haunt her? She didn't know her and if she was a vampire, that meant she had to hate her. Jacob's imprint on a vampire had caused a lasting stir. She had a vampire novel in her backpack, Sam had given her a very stern warning not to pull a Jacob. She wanted to meet a vampire.
It had taken Alexa many months to escape her creator. She was walking down the streets, wincing as the sunlight hurt her eyes. She didn't notice what the sun was doing to her skin or that she was getting looks. Alice and Jasper cursed, realizing the girl didn't know or understand. Alexa made a squeak of terror when Jasper picked her up. She looked at him and felt oddly calm. Jasper, having learned some human traits from Bella, smiled at her. Alexa yawned abit and rested her head on his shoulder.
Alice smiled as Alexa snapped out of it on Alice's bed. The girl freaked and pushed herself against the wall, panting and eyes wide. Alice smiled abit sadly, remembering how her own turning had been tragic. "The pack wants to see her, I'm not sure why as she hasn't harmed anyone and she isn't from our coven" Jasper said softly. Alexa's eyes flicked to him. "Sam won't ever forgive Jacob imprinting on Nessie. He has a bruised ego at the moment" Alice said back. " Well, that wolf is just going to have to get over it" Jasper said, with an edge of ice to it. "Jasper…" Alice said as her eyes showed her worry for him. "I'm sorry…I'm trying..really..It's just not easy for me to shut my temper off" he said, looking down, annoyed with himself.
"You used to be the army..huh?" Alexa said. It was the first time she ever spoke, so both vampires turned to her. Jasper nodded. "how can you tell..?" he asked. "you stand tall but stiff, you speak maturely yet with a touch of stern, you spooked with disgust when this..Sam person did something illogical" Alexa stated, suddenly looking and sounding older than her real years. "she's good, Jasper" Alice said, proud of it. " she can read people the way I read people's emotions…that's a good trait to have" he said.
Sam was barking orders, rather rudely, at the Cullens. Ashlynn groaned and shook her head. Alexa walked out, seeing how big Sam was she panicked and grasped Jasper's hand. Jasper smiled abit. Being around Nessie had made him soften abit. Ashlynn looked at the small vampire. Her shoulder long brown hair looked abit lighter than normal in the sun, it was held back by a baby blue hair clip on her left side. She had red eyes as she had yet to switch to the Cullen diet plan. She was so pale, she could be mistaken for an angel. Ashlynn felt herself get tunnel vision only on Alexa. Sam cursed out loud and the other wolves glared at Ashlynn.
Ashlynn blinked and cursed herself. She couldn't have imprinted she tried to reason. She didn't even know Alexa! And she wasn't into girls! She looked to her side and felt herself blush atad at Jacob. "How can she imprint on a girl but blush at a man?" Bella questioned. "She didn't really imprint, Alexa's talent kicked in" Jasper said. "so..I'm not gay..?" Ashlynn said. Jasper laughed abit. Alexa gave her a look. "wait..I didn't mean it like that!..really!..oh god..that came out all wrong…" Ashlynn said, putting her hands up in defeat. "there's nothing wrong with being gay…by the way" Alexa said to Ashlynn and walked back into the Cullen house. Ashlynn stared. "did..I just get told off..by a vampire who isn't even 15..?..no..fucking way…" Ashlynn mumbled.
The wolf pack wanted Ashlynn to take it more gracefully but Ashlynn wanted to take it back. Jasper had allowed her inside, much to her relief. She saw the girl standing in the living room, her hand on the window. "Alexa..I'm sorry…I didn't mean to hurt you…" Ashlynn spoke softly. "your questioning it and Your watching your family fall apart.." Alexa said. "How..how..did you know!" Ashlynn screamed at the vampire. "I'm what I guess you could call a contact telepath. If I touch someone, I get their whole life story. Sometimes, If I touch someone who is touching someone else, I can read both people. Your hand was touching Jasper, so I got a weak and faint connection." She said softly.
"so…that tunnel vision feeling..was you? We didn't imprint?" Ashlynn asked. "did you want to imprint on me?" Alexa asked as she flicked her eyes to Ashlynn. Ashlynn shivered and took a step back. She wasn't ready and there was something about those dam eyes that made her question even more loudly. They made her want to voice it aloud. Such a thing scared her to death. She felt the fear, her whole body was trembling. Alexa walked over to her, slipped her cold hand onto Ashlynn's cheek. "steady…it'll be okay..wolfie" she said, saying the last word with a childish wink. Ashlynn's eyes widened. Is she flirting with me..? her mind screamed.
Alexa moved to there was no space between them. Ashlynn's heart was racing. " It would be best, wolfie, if you forget I ever existed…I'm bad..I'm a monster..a freak.." Alexa said softly. Ashlynn wanted to tell her otherwise but in a blink the girl was gone and Ashlynn found she was sitting on the floor. Ashlynn covered her mouth as tears ran down her face.
The wolf pack didn't see the point in hunting her down, the Cullens explained to her that it was her free will to leave. Ashlynn shook her head and lay down on the grass under the trees. She couldn't shake the girl from her mind. Her sister teased her and told everyone that Alexa was her sister's mate. She didn't have the fight in her to reject the rumors. She watched her two former friends in school spreading rumors about her. She started to cry again, curling herself into a ball. She wanted to just die in this place.
" oh oh…I think I found a fallen angel.." a male voice said. She flicked her eyes open and stared at the source of the voice. A young teenager boy was there. If it weren't for his smell, she wouldn't have realized he was a vampire. "who..?" she said sleepily. "hmm…well my dearest angel, you can call me…Raven" he said, leaving a nice heavy drawl to his voice. Ashlynn's eyes widened and her heart rate picked up. The vampire winked at her and she felt herself do the very thing that scared her, she imprinted on a vampire. "shit…" she mumbled. The vampire leaned down to her laying form, he put his lips on her forehead and her body exploded in light. Her mind mocked her, and so the angel fell in love with the demon….
