My old blue mini cooper scuttled down the wet roads of Forks, its engine running with a couple of pops every now and then. The scenes around me were much different from my home; the streets were grey and damp and the whole place looked like it needed some colour. However I always thought these little houses were cute and constantly wanted to live in one. Driving through a less populated area I found a little baby blue house sitting behind some trees, its main colour was baby blue whereas the small set of stairs leading to the porch and door were white with peeling pain. I drove up the large driveway and parked my mini on the left side of the porch, jumping out of my car I shut the door behind me and locked it up.
Walking up the white washed steps I looked down the porch, and saw a small swinging seat with a white washed wooden rocking chair next to it, it looked cute but creepy. Taking my keys from my black hoody pockets I looked for the oldest one; it was bigger than the rest and was a rusty golden colour, it was shaped in a nice and decorative way. I shoved it in the keyhole and pushed the white washed door open, walking in and closing it behind me. The house was set up in four rooms; the space in front of me is where the old oak stairs lead up to the second floor, to my left there was an oak door which lead into the kitchen which was surprisingly up to date, into the dining room there was no door, the dining room consisted of a dining table and some cupboard's with china and china ornaments, the table consisted of eight tall oak chairs. In the dining room there was a door which lead to an empty space between the dining room and the next room across this one, when I opened the door I was greeted with a reading room, which was occupied with a large sofa and two smaller chairs placed in front of a fireplace, along the walls were bookshelves filled with old abandoned books. Walking back out of the reading room and through the dining room and kitchen and across the way to the other door which lead into the living room; directly in front of me was a desk with a large screened computer on it, and to my left was another one a little down the wall, in the middle of the room was a long black leather sofa decorated with cushions, in front of the sofa was a large plasma screen TV with an Xbox and some other consoles, on the far end of the sofa was a small table and on the closer side of the sofa was a recliner chair and a small desk next to that.
Walking back out and on to the porch I walked down the stairs and unlocked my car, pulling out my luggage off of the back seat it landed on the floor with a thud, I dragged it over and up onto the porch, standing for a minute to catch my breath.
"Alice?" I looked around at the familiar voice, I half expected the person to be calling someone else. When I turned around I was shocked.
The bleached grey hair was the first noticeable thing, the golden eyes was the next (not vampire colour) after that the rosy cheeks and plump lips were sure to follow. My lifelong friend Abbii had followed me once again.
My mind scattered memories and a bright smile filled my features. "Abbii you golden goddess!" I held my arms open and jumped from the porch. My muscles propelled me into the air and towards her, we both giggled as I crashed into her sending us both to the muddy floor. We rolled around like animals jumping on top of each other. Mud soon covered both of us and we lay flat out on our backs staring up at the musky sky.
"Why'd you come here?" She asked a slight airiness to her voice. I sighed slightly; she already knew why I moved here. "You know why I moved I couldn't stay in that house any longer. Not with the memories." I heard a slight scuffle and rolled my head over to see her sit up. Her light grey hair was stained with brown patches as was her delicate face, her brow was furrowed and her normal soft golden eyes were even lighter with emotion. "But you left the other memories behind as well; you know the memories of us?" I heaved a shaky sigh and forced myself to sit up; I glanced round at her then down to the muddy floor. "I know. And I'm sorry for that, but I'd never forget you. I wouldn't forget anyone of the gang." She smiled slightly, and it soon turned into a wide grin, she was actually starting to freak me out a little. "Abbii why are you grinning so much?" I looked around a little nervous, she shuffled around and sat crossed legged facing me. "Well, I made some connections to Alaska. And you know it's your birthday in a month or so…so I got you an early birthday present." I quickly shuffled around and sat mirroring her posture, except I was leaning forward slightly. "Ohhh what is it?" She stood up her grin still plastered on her face, she giggled slightly and jumped back a few steps and to the side.
I followed suit standing up as well. When I did I almost wished I'd stayed sitting down, because from out of the forest came Coda. My brother. We'd been separated since birth and only met three times in our whole life. We'd always had the connection but it was always weak and interrupted. But now he was finally here, within arm's reach. "Coda?" My voice was shaky and my body filled with and excited adrenaline. His small cute smile lifted his features, his light blue eyes shone in the musky light brightening my day, his little nose wrinkled a little which made him all the more cuter, his short black hair had changed in the slight sun causing it to turn a dark yet light navy blue, it surrounded his face and almost covered his right eye. He was wearing a Gun's 'N Roses band T-shirt, a normal dark grey hoody with his hood up but not all the way and his usual light grey coat. His skinny jeans were stained slightly on his knees with mud and grass stains no doubt; his red converses were capped in mud. But his smile was still the best thing on him.
I couldn't hold myself back and ran for him, in an instant I had 'attacked' him much the same as I had with Abbii, except I didn't ground him to the floor. His arms wrapped around my waist and held me close while he spun me around, my head was burried deep in his shoulder taking in his familiar scent, a small bubble of emotion had soon turned into excitement, happiness and a small hint of sadness. Tears were soon to soak his shoulder and he seemed to be expecting it, he set me down and patted my head rubbing my back slightly. "It's alright." His voice was soothing and you could trust your life with him, only a few words and I was calm…er. I still had tears brimming my eyes, but I was brave enough to pull away, his eyes were soft and comforting. "Hey you better turn that frown upside down, I got my favourite converse muddy to come stay with you." I pouted slightly and giggled ready to retaliate when I took his words in. Stay? "You're staying?" I asked jumping back slightly but still in his grip, Abbii jumped in from the side and smiled. "Yup why'd you think there was two extra bedrooms in there?" She motioned towards the house. I looked round to it and smiled. It was one big happy family again. Well kinda.
After Coda got his and Abbii's things from the car, which had been parked out of sight from me, we all headed inside to wash. I really hadn't explored the house yet, I didn't even notice there were two other bedrooms with onsuite bathrooms. I shock my head as I walked up the stairs, Coda and Abbii were already in the shower. I walked into my bedroom and over to the bathroom, stripping my muddy clothes off I threw them across the room and into the waiting laudry basket. Turning on the shower I stood back and waited for the water to heat up, while it was doing that I took most of my muddy makeup off of my face. ~Hey sis did you remember to scope the area?~ My brother pipped in my head, I almost forgot we could speak through minds. {Coda I only got here today…} it was silent for a minute and I jumped into the shower, I looked down and saw all the muddy water making it's way down the drain. Looking back up I closed my eyes and stood directly under the water, wetting my hair and face. ~But that's the first thing you should have done Alice, you know that.~ I grunted slightly. {Coda I've just gotten over mum and dad dying can you give me some time. I'll scope it tomorrow.} More silence allowed me to wash my hair and rid it of the muddy suds, I grabbed the shower gel and the sponge and quickly washed my body bringing it back to its normal (very) light caramel tint colour. I turned the shower off ringing my hair out and threw it over my shoulder, stepping out I heard a light knock on my door. "Just a minute." I quickly picked up a towel and wrapped it around me. "It's alright…" It was Coda, I stopped what I was doing and looked towards the door. "Look I'm sorry. For everything. For not being there when they died or at the funeral." His voice started to break up at the end, my heart sunk a little. "But why didn't you come?" I stepped back slightly and sat on the toilet seat staring down at my hands. "I tried, I did! I didn't have enough money to get here, and it was hunting season in Alaska, I couldn't phase and risk someone shooting at me…and I needed to find another leader for the pack." I grunted slightly.
Once Coda had left the Switzerland mountains he moved to Alaska, the pack in Alaska hadn't welcomed him with open arms but he managed to fight his way to the top, ruling over 5 other wolves. At the begining he had sent me letters, saying how happy he was, but after a couple of months I didn't hear from him, and soon I almost forgot him. I was half expecting him to come back when I finsihed school but he didn't. But I definatly expected him to come back when our parents died around five months ago. Vampires were a hazard being a shapshifter and all, but the attack that was composed against my parents was without reason. They were visious newborns and my mother and father were to dispose of them, but they were too old and the newborns were too young and powerful. I begged them not to go but it was their duty, and they died for it.
"I know you tried Coda. And I'm grateful." There was a little silence before I heard some things move, "I'll go make us some dinner then." He spoke, I nodded my head to myself. {Don't ruin my kitchen.} I heard him chuckle slightly as he walked out of my room, ~No promises there.~ I shock my head and laughed lightly, walking over to the mirror I brushed my hair out, dried it, flicked it to the side slightly, and grabbed my PJ's that were waiting on the side. I quickly got dressed and smelt something from downstairs. ~Might need your help sis.~ I dropped the hair brush and quickly ran down stairs and into the layout kitchen, where Abbii and Coda were running around trying to find something to put the fire in the pan out. "Coda what did you do?" I yelled running forwards and attempting to grab the pan from the cooker, "I tried to cook some sausages!" He yelled back staying away from the cooker, which is where I wanted him. "Abbii turn on the taps!" Abbii quickly ran forwards and turned the taps on and moved out of the way. Grabbing the pan wasn't a good idea without a towel of some sort, I swiftly grabbed a teatowel and wrapped it around my hand. Lunging at the pan I grabbed it and tipped it into the awaiting cold water, it sizzled furiously before dying down and stopping completely. I heaved a breath and looked to Abbii then Coda, glaring somewhat at him.
Turning the tap off I looked over into the sink and saw six black sauasges, half drowning in oily water. I rolled my eyes and looked up, Coda quickly hid behind Abbii who just stood there with her hands up, "I told him the heat was too high." I must of looked like I was going to explode. "Shall we get pizza then?" They both looked at me a little shocked, but slowly nodded their heads. We ordered pizza and it came in a couple of minutes, Abbii and Coda had brought their covers downstairs and threw them on the huge couch I had which was placed right in front of my plasma TV. They had flicked through many DVD's and picked Mirrors, the movie wasn't that scary but it really messed with your mind. After the food was finished with and the movie I checked the time, it was way past twelve and I wanted to get up early to scope the area with Coda and Abbii. I told them I'd go to bed and they nodded agreeing they'd be up soon, since I told them to clean up.
Well a little uneventful but what can you expect from the first chapter.
Remember to R&R folks :3
