A/N. This is my first fanfiction so I know it may suck, trash it if you want, but please review!
At 5 in the morning I was awaken by none other then my cat sitting on my chest and crying in my face with hunger.
"Alright, alright…I'm up!" I mumbled to my cat Jasmine. At the sound of my voice I felt Jasmine's little body leave my chest as she hit the hard wood floor still meowing. With a groan I pushed back the covers and threw my legs over the side of my bed. The second my feet touched the cold wood floor I shrieked and jumped from my bed fully awake. I ran across the floor to my dresser and took out a pair of black socks to shield my feet from the cold floors in my house. Sighing with relief I walked from my room and across the hall to the stair case to see Jasmine already sitting at the base of the stairs looking up to me with sad, hungry eyes. I laughed and flinted down the stairs and past her in to the kitchen where my older brother Dante was already waiting.
"Morning Bro!" I yelled as I hugged him tightly, making him choke on his coffee.
"Morning sis, how are you feeling?" he asked as he hugged me back much gentler then I had hugged him.
"I'm feeling fine, a little nervous, but other wise alright…" I said walking to Jasmine's food bowl to put her food in, at the sound of her food hitting the metal bowl she came running, more like skidding in to the kitchen, meowing with appreciation. After putting her food away I walked over to Dante and took my coffee cup from his hand, thanking him as I walked over to the table to sit.
"So you're nervous about school?" he asked sitting next to me.
"Well yeah, I mean a new school, so many new faces, new sounds, new scents and new teachers? Who wouldn't be nervous?" I responded before letting my head hit the table. I felt Dante rub my back, trying to comfort me.
"Come on Akira! It won't be that bad! I promise, besides I'll be right there with you…" he said trying to console me.
"Yeah, but you'll be cloaked…" I mumbled before looking to him.
"I don't have to be cloaked…I could just follow you around." he suggested with a wide grin.
"Ha-ha very funny…no you wouldn't possibly do that…would you?" I asked raising my head off the table to meet his gaze.
"If you wanted me to…hell yeah, I mean yes, if it would make you happy, then of course I'd follow you around, uncloaked, but could you really handle that?" he asked looking at me seriously. I sat up quickly, and raised my eyebrow.
"Wow Dante, you've actually surprised me!" I said with a grin before taking another sip of coffee. This made Dante burst out in laughter.
"I…surprised you? Wow, I didn't think that was possible!" he said laughing still. I began to laugh with him before the clock in the den chimed 6. We both winced from the clock before turning to each other again.
"Crap! I need to get ready!" I said before flinting from the kitchen to my bed room and into my closet. I looked through my closet carefully picking out the right outfit. I settled on a black and red plaid corset with a black see through over shirt and my tight black jeans with my killer, black leather high heels. After getting dressed I ran into the bathroom and did my hair, letting the raven black and fire red curls hang lose over my shoulders. I put on my standard midnight black eye liner; I then mixed it up and put on my metallic red eye shadow, with mascara to top it all off. When I was done I flinted back down stairs and into my office packing my bag for the day. After my bag was packed I ran back to the kitchen and sat in my seat looking at Dante with a grin.
"Time?" I asked slightly out of breath.
"1.5 seconds …not your best…" he teased with a smirk. I roll my eyes and sip my coffee as I look over at the rack of keys to the many cars I had bought, made or stolen.
"So which car are you taking?" Dante asked as his gaze followed mine.
"I have no clue, probably the viper, or maybe the Ferrari…" I said thinking to myself as I stood and walked to the kitchen sink to rinse out my cup.
"How about the Lamborghini? You love that thing!" Dante suggested. I gasped as my eyes widened, I forgot about the Lamborghini, correction, my jet black exterior and red and black Italian leather interior Lamborghini.
"Oh yeah I'll be taking the Lamborghini…" I say with a wide grin as I half danced half swirled to the key rack to take the keys of its ring.
"What about you? What car will you be taking?" I ask Dante already taking the key off the ring.
"The GT500, duh!" he said with a lot of sarcasm. I roll my eyes and throw the keys at him as I walk past him to pick up my bag and swing it over my shoulder. Of course he was taking his GT500, painted a sapphire blue with the classic silver racing stripes.
"You're going to leave already? It's only 6:15…you have almost an hour…" Dante said looking at me confused. I just grin as my fangs slip over my lips.
"I know, but I am going to do a little hunting before school, you know to stay safe."
"Oh, alright, have fun, I'll see you later sis!" Dante called after me as I walked from the kitchen and into the garage. A smile spread across my face as all my cars shined and gleamed in the light of the rising sun. I walked over to the Lamborghini and slipped into it throwing my bag on the passengers' seat as the garage door opened. I glared at the sun as I started the car, thankful that it would be covered with clouds soon and sped out of the garage. Once I hit the main road I slowed down to obey the speed limit, much to my chagrin. As I drove I slipped in my Linkin Park CD, blaring it over my speakers. I watched as the houses of Forks thinned out then completely disappeared, the sight of thick woods taking its place. I stopped on the dirt path that leads to a trail in the woods. Cutting the engine I got out of my car and started to walk up the trail into the woods. When I knew I was out of sight I flinted through the trees weaving around them and the other plants that grew in the forest. But when I got to a clearing I froze. I grinned as I saw a large male deer grazing on the sweet grass with his family. I quickly ran to the other side of the meadow and waited in the trees as he became more ignorant of my presence. Then when his back was faced to me I crouched down and let my muscles recoil as I pounced on the deer, sinking my fangs deep into his neck and letting the warmth of his blood flow down my throat. When he was passed out I stopped and took out my fangs. I was never one to kill an animal; I just took what I needed from them. I put my palm over the markings in the buck's neck and healed the wounds shut before standing again to look around. I closed my eyes as a cold wind blew through the trees, my body then froze when I picked up the scent of other vampires.
"It can't be! I had no knowledge that there were others here!" I thought to my self as I started to follow the scent, new curiosity pulling me forward. I then stopped myself and turned to walk back to my car, turning the situation over in my mind.
When I got to my car I slid into the drivers' seat and took out my cell phone dialing Dante's number. It rang twice before he picked up, the music in his room filling the background.
"Hello?" he answered as the music faded slightly.
"Hey Dante, it's me. Have you heard of any other vampires here in Forks?" I asked as I started my car.
"Other vampires? What do you mean?"
"I mean pure bred vampires…Icelings…" I said with sigh.
"Wait, what are Icelings?" he asked a little confused.
"Icelings are vampires with out heartbeats, they have icy cold skin, hence their names. I had no clue any lived here…I figured I would have sensed them…" I explained as my thoughts raced.
"Oh yeah! I remember them now. Wait…why are you asking? Did you run into one?" Dante asked as his voiced started turn angered.
"No, No nothing like that. But when I was in the clearing, I picked up the scent of them." I answered to calm him down as I sped down the road back towards the house I still had a little over 45 minutes before school so I knew I had enough time.
"Them? How many did you smell?" he asked as he turned the music off entirely.
"I could smell 7, maybe more. It was so weird…" I said slowing down as I drove though the town.
"Yeah I bet, we haven't come in contact with pure breeds in so long! Only mixes, like us." Dante thought out loud.
"Well we have met pure breeds before, just not pure breed vampires in the way of Icelings…" I corrected him as I shuddered from the memories of meeting some of the creatures we had.
"True, true…But it is still weird…Oh man! This must be super weird for you! Your part Iceling from mom's side…" Dante pointed out as I pulled into the driveway.
"Yeah I know, don't remind me." I growled as I looked in the mirror at my skin glittering in the sunlight. I quickly slipped out of the car as I snapped my cell phone shut, before walking to the door. I walked inside to find Dante back in the kitchen, pacing with his hands behind his back.
"Why are you so worried?" I asked before sitting on one of the marble counter tops.
"What if they aren't like us? What if they hunt humans?" Dante asked me before pacing again.
I almost laughed loudly at his questions.
"They aren't. I could smell the scent of animal intertwined with theirs, they are like us..." I reassured Dante. Hearing this Dante calmed down and stopped pacing as he sipped his coffee. He looked at me and started to laugh as a grin spread across his face. I glared at him and let a low growl sound from my throat.
"What is so funny?!" I ask with a louder growl as Dante backs away slightly.
"You have some blood on your chin." He told me before throwing a towel at me. I stopped growling and laughed as I wiped the blood off and took off my sun glasses.
"How are my eyes?" I asked looking at him.
"They are still a little black, but not to bad. Mine?" he asked stepping closer to me.
"A tint of red, but nothing to bad." I replied with a smile as I put my glasses back on.
"Good, I'll hunt while you're in class, just to be safe…Ok? Nothing to worry about." Dante reassured me after seeing the sudden doubt cross my face. I nodded in response before my eyes glazed over and my body slumped forward. I heard Dante yell my name as he caught me in his arms before laying me on the floor.
"Akira! Come on, wake up Akira!" I heard him yell as he shook me. As he tried to wake me up I could see the seven pale faces of the Icelings. With a gasp I saw every one of them, including their names. With a jolt my eyes cleared and I sat straight up in Dante's arms.
"Akira, what the hell happened? Are you ok?" Dante questioned as his face filled with worry.
"I'm fine…I…I…just saw…them…all of them…and I heard their names…" I said shuddering as I tried to get the names from my head.
"Ok, that's new…so who are they?" he asked as he helped me to my feet.
"The Cullens…" I whispered before everything went black.
