Another Story
I'm Clari Kalista Athena Calypso. I live in Italy, with my "father" Aro and my mother Sulpicia [their my main parents]. Well you see, there's something different about me, from all the other normal teenager. I'm kinda a teenager, I act like one. I'm adopted, did I mention that? Don't worry my parents are alive, they just…don't know I am. Well, I'm technically alive, if you put it in a way. I'm the undead. Ok. I should put it one way or the other I'm a vampire. I have been for 10 years, 10 today. My birthday slash vampday at the same time. Aro tells me that he found wandering in the street, my mother had abandoned me that's what he said.
He doesn't know that I know that he took me when I was a child about 7 years old. I can still remember my mom and dad crying. But Aro raised me to be the person I am today. Although I cant bare drinking human blood[ I just hate the way they scream and figit I hate the way they seem to be in pain, I always seem to be reminded of my parents] Aro understands why, he always does. Well, I generally have 3 pairs of parents. Aro and Sulpicia, Caius and Athenodora and Marcus and Didyme. But I find Aro and Sulpicia my parents. Their closest to the real thing. I mean the other's are my parents but then Aro and Sulpicia care the most, but the vulturi are my family. They raised me, I am the youngest by form, by form I am 15. I am a freak of the freaks, I am special…really special. I am a telekenisis, I can move things with my mind. I have mind power too I can control people's mind, and no one can use their power on me. I have two powers, very rare that's why the vulture took me in. stole me in.
Like I said it was my birthday slash vamp day. Everyone was getting ready. Except me. I remain sulking in my room, I looked outside the window bo-ring. Oh did mention there's this guy who comes by here begging for the vulturi to come and kill him, gash. Why kill him. he can read minds, that's what Jane tells me. He doesn't know about me, no one outside the vulture does. Aro is very careful about thinking of me. He seem's to be back. Who is he?
"Jane." I called out. And she was right at my side ,"is he back. Again?"
"yeah. Well, gotta go down kid. Happy vamp day." Jane said as she smiled and left.
I watched her go with alec at her side, cute couple. But it grossed me out because of the fact that they were like twins. But hey, nothing conquers love.
"happy birthday" a handsome young man, olive complexion which looks odd combined with his chalky pallor and dark hair that waves to his shoulders, tall and lean. Demetri. Uhg.
"don't you have somewhere to go to? Like let's say…with that dude who wants to die." I asked, I don't really like him, I mean he's nice and all. He's just…I don't know? Not my type.
"He can wait." Demetri said, going at my side of the window. I looked away.
"Go. Please, and ease my pain." Aro did always teach me to be honest. There. I was honest. Honestly blunt as Jane would put it.
"Anything for you." He said as he went away. Uhg. I hate that guy. I mean not hate hate but then…you know. He's sooooo annoying. He just you know….too much. I don't know. I decided to look more outside examine the people's day to day life. You see, there was a celebration today, this afternoon, this sunny afternoon… I was bored out of my life.
I've decided to come down and check on this suicidal young man. I slowly and quietly came down the stairs. From the 4rth floor, to where my room was to the basement, where all the companies[the vulture has a secret company, paper company. The 2nd floor was the factory and the other floors were rooms, for us, the basement is the storage] I went towards more to the end of the basement. Where there stood a secret door stood, where all of us can sneak into the room. Offcoarse there's the other stairs but the secret way was WAY much cooler. So yeah I started to enter. I saw the man. He was not but a year or two years older, by appearance. He was handsome, like any other vampire. I was hiding behind the wall in the corner, which separates the main hall.
I examined my papa, Aro was seated, with my other fathers, Marcus and Caius. Renata, my papa's shield or somewhat. At his side. Jane seated at Aro's feet and Alec secured at the corner. Demetri was by the other end. And so there were the other gaurds. Will I be one of them? I hope not.
"What are you doing here?" Alec said, whispered… He was suddenly by my side. Alec and Jane were like Big Sisters and Brothers. Believe it or not I think, their my gaurds. I don't wanna have.
"I just wanna see, and know why exactly he wants to dies." I whispered back. And soon enough my mother's were there.
"Kalista! You shouldn't wander here." Athenodora scolded, "What happened to the gaurds!"
"They all rushed here. To attend to the young man…." I looked to see, what his expression was, "who seemingly is in pain." I chuckled at the thought, "do you intent to tell me why—"
"Guys, everyone can hear us." Alec prompted. I had another look and everyone was looking at us. I smiled. My papa was smiling. My father [Marcus] and my dad [Caius] they looked enraged. I'm gonna have a good scolding later. I'm a secret you see, of the coven.
"Kali, come. We have a visitor come and say hello." Aro called. Marcus and Caius glared.
"Hello! Bye!" I said quickly. I was about to leave
"Kali, don't go. We have a guest. It is rude to NOT greet a guest."
"I said hello. And…aren't I supposed to be a secret?" I said, I looked at Caius and Marcus I mouthed sorry to them.
"Don't worry, Edward wont say a word. Wont he?" Aro said as he looked at him. He nodded. Edward….that was his name. Oh. "c'mon Kalista, join your papas." He said. I walked to Aro. And Demetri was beside me. Uhg.
"Kali, this is Edward Cullen, Edward this is Kalista Calypso. My daughter, Our Daughter. Edward, is one of our friends,…adopted son. You remember Carlisle?"
He said, I nodded. Edward looked at me. He looked crazed, I still wonder why. Carlisle was a friend of My father's a great friend of my Father's but I've only known his name nothing more.
"Why does he want to die?" I asked Aro. In the most polite way I can.
"He had a great loss. In his heart." Aro whispered to my ear. Even though everyone could hear him.
"What if she died." Edward suddenly spoke. I was overwhelmed. What if who died? Me? Why? Would he kill me? Would he? "Wouldn't you wanna die? If one of the most important thing in your life just suddenly wasn't there, no where in the world?" he has a way with words. He was gesturing to me and Sulpicia who was just behind me.
"Your scaring the child!" Marcus pointed out to Edward. It was my face. I knew it. I looked appauled and scared at the same time. Even Demetri's muscles tightened, everyone except Aro tensed. Am I that much of a stress?
"I'm sorry but I just really want to die! I need to die!" Edward pleaded.
"How do you know that she is dead?" I asked
"My sister she can see the future. She saw it." Edward said. He looked out of hope, insane.
"Why don't you call her. Make sure. Or something." I said.
"I already did. Her father was in her funeral." He said emphasizing on her. "I don't have time for this! I'm going to show the world who I really am!" Marcus and Caius….not a good thing to look at when they're mad. Aro was surprisingly calm. I know what Edward meant, he meant he was gonna expose us. That was bad right? As I thought these thoughts, ,Edward ran out of the dungeouns.
"Demetri, Amadeus, Henry, Johan. Follow them." Caius ordered. They looked at Aro first. He nodded. And they left.
"Happy vamp day Kali." Aro greeted, with a hug.
"Because it's your vamp day maybe we wont punish you." Marcus said. He had a smug smile on his face…why?
"But that was BIG. If it hadn't been for Alec. I could've just stayed quiet." I said. Alec shot a look at me.
"Edward won't say a word." Aro reassured.
"Why? What is he to us? What is he to you." I asked.
"He holds great power. And so does his coven." Aro explained, " we are soon to get them." He said.
"Why get what is not yours." I asked, I knew I had made a point.
"You wouldn't want to get in a fight with them either they've got strong fighters." Sulpicia said.
"But were BETTER!" Alec rejoiced.
"Just let them be! We're already a big coven. We don't need more. More explaining, more getting to know, more…more…more….what is with more. People are never content. Why? Why cant we just be content to what we have. We always ask for more. Be content." I said. My papa laughed.
"We have named you right! Athena! The wise virgin goddess of war and wisdom." He said.
"Virgin? --- KIDDING! Hahhaah! Warrior? Ha!" I laughed.
"You're a great warrior" Marcus said, he's been teaching me how to fight, the art of war. Caius has been through me with my studies and Aro….he's been with me through powers. Train me to use it right. Blah blah blah.
"Kalista, beauty and true it is." Sulpicia said, trying to fix my red-brown hair wavy hair. My hair was naturally messy; the girls in the vulturi always try to fix my hair. Sooo annoying. "and Clari—"
"ok. Ok ok . I get it. My name. you named it. Ok? I get it!" I said, "when does my lessons start anyways?" I asked impatient. I should have power training.
"It's your v-day. Celebration. No lessons." Aro said. "Now. You and Jane go to your room."
"Why?" I asked, but before Aro could even answer Jane pulled me and we went to my room.
"Lets get you a dress!" Jane scurried over at my closet. To get a dress, she was the one who shops for me…with Chelsea and maybe my mom's would come…maybe not. Depends. I would come if I feel like it.
"Why? A dress? Are you serious?!?!" I looked at her from the window.
"You're a decade." She said as she looked at my closet.
"Aren't you like 3 centuries old?" I pointed out.
"Actually I'm 303, and If you haven't noticed. Every decade of a vulturian there is a celebration. Everyone is invited to go and eat together. Dancing and everything. And you're the daughter of vulturi, off coarse you get one of the best. It's like your first decade!" she said as she put a big stack of dresses at my bed.
"What if I didn't want to." I complained.
"Oh. Sure. Disappoint everyone. All of us were really waiting for this event." She said as she put on her do-this-for-us. And her awwww face.
"Don't worry. I am no disappointment." I said. I looked outside, I didn't see time go by so quickly the sun was up. It was about 2 in the afternoon already. The sun shone down on me and my skin glistened. The parade was about to happen…it starts at 4, and I'm guessing that's where Edward's gonna show.
"Don't go there. Come here. Let me do your hair." Jane gestured to my table with all my stuff which she cleared away, then she placed a bag, which she opened then it was a foldable she folded it open….it was big. It covered the whole table. It had make clips stuff that I don't know.
"Dear Lord help me." I muttered. I just heard Jane sigh. And her eyes role.
So she started with my hair. She started to put rollers on my hair. When Chelsea entered the room.
"Need help?" Chelsea said ,"I've got about 4 or 3 more hours so. Yeah. I can help." I know what she meant, she was gonna go pick up……humans…for…my co-vulturian. And maybe for the party. I'm not even eating. Uhg.
"Sure." Jane said.
"I do a mean eye shadow!" She had a smug smile on. I looked hopeless, I didn't even speak at all. I seemed to be chained to the chair. Gotta make 'em happy. Yah know.
So they figitted with my face, as the curls were forming. I just closed my eyes and thought of a peaceful place, my zen. It was so boring. They were finally done. I looked at the mirror. I was pretty. Yay…. Both of them looked proud of what they've done.
"I LOVE IT!" Chelsea eeped. "we make a great team!" she high fived jane.
"Jane. We need you." Alec was by the door. Jane's face dropped
"But the dress-"
"It's important." Alec looked at her. Pleaded to her. Jane marched to the door
"Chels. Pick a dress. Make it pretty." Jane said as she skipped out the door.
"Kali." Alec called, I looked at him. "you look beautiful." I smiled at him. First time he said that to me. You know when your annoying big brother like annoys you then suddenly he just says that and you feel good. Coming from him.
"Thanks. The problem? What is it?" I asked. Hoping for an answer.
"them." He simply said and he was gone. It was them? Wasn't it suppose to him why? Them.
"ok! Now. Lets see. What dress would you look gorgeous in!?!?" Chelsea said breaking the train of my thoughts, "this is pretty!" she held up a golden tone dress, sleeveless. And a blue ribbon just below the chest. It was just above the knee. It was pretty. It was silk. Wow. It was pretty.
"yeah. It's pretty." I smiled. She could see that I liked it.
"Go! Put it on!" She said she handed me the dress. As I went to the bathroom to change. She went to the closet to get shoes. Damn I hope she doesn't get those 5 inch heels. I can take 2. but 5??? Are you kidding me. I'd be using my power to make me float.
"Here." I came out with the dress. She fixed it. Did something with the ribbon. Straightened me out.
"You are sooo pretty!!! Heartbreaker." She said. I looked at her with an are-you-serious-look, "well, I have to go. The parade's starting. I just need to get ready!" she said as she went to her room to get ready.
I looked outside the window. The sun was starting to set. Something caught my eye, she stopped at the building next us' shadow. She was like a pixie. She was fast, she was a vampire. Hm. What was she doing? She ran to the alley. She shone a bit. I waited for the sun to fall, the street's were in a party mood. Then I saw Jane she was walking out of the building. She went to the alley where the pixie girl went. I tried to listen, I heard high pitch growls, snarls. What was happening? I am always left clueless. I saw them…they started to go out. I looked at them. And there. Edward, with a girl…..she was red….not a vampire then….human…his love… she wasn't dead. That meant I was right. And the pixie girl was beside her. Then. In front was Jane. Behind them, Demetri and the other gaurds. They entered the building. I just wanted to go down and greet them but I wasn't allowed. Well not really.
Then after a while I saw Chelsea exit. Off to do her work. I saw the vulturi clan running down to the secret door. I placed my ear on the wall so that I can hear more. I heard Aro and everyone. Bella, that was the girl's name. Alice was the pixie girl. She can see the future. Bella, seems to be special too, Aro cant read her mind, Jane cant hurt her, mentally nothing can harm her. They were about to leave, I took the elevator up to the lobby. I was about to go, they were seated outside, "oh man." I said, going back in. I noticed Demetri was there. He looked at me, he smiled. I rolled my eyes. He put his index finger to lips, shhhhh sign. His eyes were filled of desire. Damn. He's sooo desparate. Uhg. Bella, the girl, she looked crazed, Edward loved her. I wanna have love like that. Demetri…he's not like that. He's different. It's different.
Chelsea went through the door with a bunch of people, I felt sorry for them. Bella looked confused, when she saw Chelsea it was like she saw an angel. Then Chelsea looked at me, and winked, I smiled at her. Alice,Bella and Edward went outside. As soon as that happened Demetri was at my side.
"You look beautiful" he whispered to my ear. Uhg
"You look like you need to clean up." I spat back at him.
"I will. I have a present for you." He whispered.
"Oh grrrreat." I said sarcastically. I stepped out of the elevator, which he was now inside and he was up. I walked to the sofa's, "hey Gianna." I greeted to the secretary. She smiled at me. Well, while everyone got ready for the ball, I was reading a magazine at the lounge.
Then after a while. People were coming one by one. Vampires. I would nod and smile once in a while.
"Kali! There you are! We've been looking for you!" Jane called.
"I would've thought Demetri told you where I was. Or at least Chels." I reasoned.
"Demetri's waiting at the hall. And Chels…she's doing something." Jane said.
"Lets go." I said, standing up. So yeah My party…was a party. That night.
Life was great since then…well…except the sudden deaths, about a few months after. Aro says their new borns. Who would sprout new borns? After a few more months I found out it was an enemy of the Olympic coven, the Cullens. Bella's the reason. The mate of this guy who Edward killed for the safety of Bella was raging…revenge was rich within her blood, well it's a figure of speech. I heard there was war. Or something. And when Jane and Demetri and some other guards were there the war had ended. And only a girl whom they killed was there. That was the last that I heard of them…until…about a year more.
A woman came here. Irene? I forgot her name. She spoke of a child, a vampire child. For the first time I saw Aro was afraid he was scared. Marcus and Caius insisted on my coming but Aro….he didn't want me to come. Almost everyone came. Except for Sulpicia, who stayed and cared for me. And about 5 more at our guard. I tried to stay calm thinking of the outcome. Which was great since the child was only half human and half vamp. Harmless. Bella was a vampire now. She's a shield a powerful one. Explains the mental thing. Oh and did you know their coven were friends with shape shifters. They call themselves were wolves.
