RETURN TO AUTELAS

The Scepter of Kings

Chapter One

The Past

The Evil had been sealed.

At least, that was the saying in the myths and legends. Legends that had been passed down from one generation to the next, legends of time of magic and creatures of unimaginable strength and power. It was said that an artifact of the old mythical age will survive through generations, as long as the magic survives. But as time flows by, the artifact becomes a myth itself.

It was known as the Scepter of Kings.

It was a slow day upon the rainy woods.

The weather hardly changed from the passing seasons, save for the occasional rains and snow during the winter. Vast lands of lust green grass and tall trees expanded as far as the eye can see. Then in the middle of all that rain, lush green terrains and gloomy weather, was the small town of Forks.

A small quiet town to anyone who was passing through, Forks was as ordinary as the next city down on the road, but without the peoples knowledge, Forks is more than it appeared. For every town got it share of secrets, and Forks wasn't exempt from that category for living within the small town, along with it residents was a family of vampires.

The vampire family had been leaving there for three years already, going through the day like any normal living people, even thought nothing about the vampire themselves were normal. To the people of Forks, the vampire family was all very beautiful with chalky white skin, and yellow eyes. Under the leadership of Carlisle Cullen, the head of the family, they chose to coexist among the humans, unlike the nature of the rest of their kinds.

But despite their decision of not feeding upon their human neighbors, their life didn't stay as peaceful as they would have wanted for another family knew what they are, a family of shape-shifters, that habited the coexisting town of La Push.

La Push was occupied by Native Americans, who habited these parts of the lands for the better part of the passing years, back to their ancestors, and it is from their ancestors that they develop their abilities of shape-shifting into large bear sized wolves when their natural enemies, the vampires are close by.

But blood hadn't been spilled from both sides for they had come to an agreement. The vampires chose not to hunt humans as long as they lived here and the La Push shape-shifters will not attack them. The vampires had chosen to hunt animals to quench their thirst of blood earning them their yellow eyes, unlike the common human drinker red eyes.

But, despite all of their secrecy during their lives here, one human had discovered what the vampires truly are, through a series of unfortunate events.

A human by the name of Bella Swan.

She is one of the only human residents who knew of the vampires and shape-shifters that reside in Forks. But alas, this story does not focus upon her, rather upon one of the vampire of the Cullen family.

Namely Alice Cullen.

The said vampire was in her room during that time. She was seating at her desk, a drawing book open in front of her as her pale hands worked with the pencil she was holding. The room around her describes the small vampire's personality quite clearly. It was well taken care of, with a painting against the wall, a painting of a person with wings touching fingers with someone on the ground. The bed looked as if someone had touch it in days and a large closet in the corners was opened showing a lot of clothes inside of it.

Then, Alice seated up, blowing softly above what she was working on and used her hands to push it away. Her yellow eyes looking at her masterpiece, satisfied.

She had drawn a young girl who had her arm opened as if she was going to take her into a hug with a soft look in her eyes. The girl was dressed in long robes as her hair falls down from her head, passing her shoulders. A projecting light was coming from behind her shadowing some part upon her body, as around her, Alice had drew what looks like an field of flowers.

The vampire let out a soft sigh before closing up the large sketch book and putting it back on the shelves. When she was done so, Alice glanced back up at the painting of the Angel. It was becoming a habit of whenever she is inside the room, her eyes always seems to drawn themselves toward the beautifully drawn painting.

It's been three years, she thought.

A few months before Bella Swan walked into the Cullen's lives, someone else did. Three mysterious teenagers had arrived within Forks, and had disappeared from the school nearly a month later…

At least, that's what everyone in Forks believes.

But Alice knew the truth of what really happened. She knew that those three teenagers weren't as real as her family where. She knew that they were just looking for a place to hide, and Alice had befriended one of them.

Jasmine Crystalline, or as her real name, Jasmine Yael Salvatore.

Jasmine was a Princess of a magical world of Autelas. She and her two bodyguards, Samuel and David had come to Forks to lay low under the cover of teenagers. She and Jasmine had become friends and then on that fateful shopping day…

Everything went downhill.

The entire truth had come out then. Jasmine had revealed everything to her and on that same day had been forced to run from Forks. But Alice hadn't been able to let her go that easily…

Let me help you fight them.

Alice's own voices echoed through her mind, as she sighed softly.

Jasmine had been one of the first people she had actually interested in getting to know, aside from Bella. Everything about the girl was a mystery to her. To her silvery white hair, and the deep wine red eyes, the almost aristocrat features.

The adventure didn't end there for her.

She had been swept into Jasmine's world Autelas and had faced things that she can't even imagine and had even fought in a war to save Jasmine's people. Her friendship with the girl had somehow turned into love along the fray of whirling emotions that were running high.

And the most amazing thing was, Jasmine had let her go.

She had let her go back to Jasper, even after falling in love with her in return; the young girl had loved her enough to send her back to her World.

I'm never going to forget her, she thought, For as long as I lives.

She stayed there for a few minutes before walking out of her room, heading downstairs toward the main room of the house. There was another person here of course. Alice wrinkled her nose slightly at the smell of the food cooking meaning that Bella was coming over soon.

"Hey Alice," the woman behind the counter said.

"Esme," Alice saluted, "Bella's coming over?"

"Edward's idea," Esme said, "Considering what had happened last week."

Alice remembers that quickly.

The battle against the newborn Army last week had caused Edward to be more vigilant in protecting Bella. Even thought, the vampire that was the cause of it, Victoria, is dead, Edward had felt like Bella is safer with him around and Alice couldn't blame him for being conscious thought she can't seen any danger coming for Bella in the coming months.

"Well, I'm going to find Jasper," Alice told her, crossing the room at an unnatural speed.

"Wait Alice," the woman called her.

Alice turned around.

"What?"

"There is something I would like to talk to you about," Esme said.

"Okay," Alice said, "What is it?"

She suddenly had a vision of what Esme is going to ask her, and she felt a slight melancholy at it. The woman must have noticed it upon her face, for she frowned slightly.

"You already know what I'm going to ask you aren't you?" she said, her yellow eyes observing Alice.

Alice nodded.

"But I'm going to ask it anyway," Esme continued, "I didn't want to voice it but, these past years at this time of the month, you've been acting…similar to Edward on a bad day. Is there anything you will like to tell me?"

Alice stayed quiet.

"It's nothing Esme…"

"I don't need to be able to feel emotions to know when something is wrong with one of my children," Esme told her, "I'm worried about you Alice."

The young vampire sighed.

"I…I just miss her."

Esme didn't say anything.

"I don't know if it's alright to miss someone so much, but I just miss her," Alice told her, "It's almost three years since then, and not a day doesn't go by that she doesn't cross my mind. It's almost like an addiction."

"You're speaking of Jasmine?" Esme asked, "The girl that you had brought here?"

Alice nodded.

"Yes,"

Esme frowned, "What had happened Alice? You never spoke of what had happened since you came back."

"What do you want me to say?" Alice asked, "That there is a hundred percent chance that I might never see her again, a girl that somehow causes me to feel so much for her in such a little time."

Esme blinked at the revelation.

"You loved her?"

Alice didn't answer her and simply nodded.

"Oh dear," she said, taking the girl in a hug, "I wish I could help you in some ways."

Alice stepped out of the hug giving Esme one of her smiles.

"It's nothing you have to worry about," she said, "It's my problem only. I'll deal with it in my own way."

Esme put a hand against her cheek.

"If you're sure, I won't hold you any longer."

Alice gives her a nod.

"Thanks Esme."

Then she was gone from the house, moving swiftly and running through the trees that surrounded Forks.

So ends the first chapter...What is Alice is going to do now...
