Chapter 2

He kissed my neck as we both lay on the couch. I knew he was trying to make this easiest as possible.

"You'll need to find some sort of way to tell your mother that you are leaving. You can't tell her the truth; tell her you're going to collage or something, but do it quickly we have to leave before she gets home."

Right as he said that I heard a car pull up to the drive way, it was a police cruiser.

"Dammit, not again," I said.

"The police?" Felix asked

"Yes," I said. "My mom has quite a big mouth and every once in a while she pisses someone off and gets in to a fight" I watched my mom get pulled out of the police car her clothes all messed up, her hair wild and scratches on her face

"Hello, Jessica," Chief Swan said when I opened the door. "Looks like your mom is having one of her days again."

"No, No," my mom said. "I was just telling Mrs. Thompson about her husband's affair because I thought she should know, I didn't know that was his cousin, and even if it was his cousin she's got even bigger problems."

"Ms. Stanley, you only saw them walk out a hotel together, that could mean anything," Chief Swan said taking the hand cuffs off of her.

"Oh, come now Charlie that could only mean one thing by the way she was dressed." She said walking in the house.

Charlie sighed. "Sure it did… Jessica," he said looking at me. "If you could get your mother to control herself you would make my job a lot easier."

"I'll try, but I don't think I'm getting any better at it." I said.

He nodded. "How's this?" he said looking up at Felix.

"Oh, um…" I said when Felix cut me off.

"I'm not from around here, I'm a friend of Jessica's, and I'm just visiting." He said lying smoothly.

Chief Swan nodded "Don't go causing going trouble," he said walking back to his police car as I closed the door. I may have no tolerance for Bella Swan, but her dad was nice.

"So who is this?" my mom asked pointing to Felix.

"Mom I would like you to meet Felix, my um boyfriend." I looked at Felix and he didn't seem to have a problem with his title.

"Really? What happened to Mike? I was getting used to seeing that cute little kid around here." She asked embarrassing right in front of Felix.

"Mom we broke up like 2 months ago! God I hate that you pay like no attention to me at all!" I shouted.

"What do you mean?" she asked startled.

"Well, Mom I try and I try to get you to listen to me but it all seems to go in one ear and out the other. It's really pissing me off."

"Oh c'mon so I forget things that doesn't mean I don't listen!"

"Mom you only listen when gossip is involved!"

"Well I'm sorry, maybe I should listen more, I'll try harder now," she said rolling her eyes.

"You also need to stop getting arrested for getting in fights; you don't need to tell everyone everything!"

"Oh please Jess some things just need to be told. You know how it is.

"No mom I don't because if you haven't noticed I have never gotten in a fight, or arrested at that matter," I shouted. "I'm tired of wasting my prime years as a teen babying you, wondering if maybe you pissed someone off so much that they fucking killed you already, when you don't come home at night. I thought this job changed that. Since you got this new job you have been gossiping less and coming home on time. But now I see that this job didn't help you still pissing people off, getting into fights, getting arrested, and hooking up with guys you don't even know. This has been happening ever since dad left. How would you like it if I left and went to live with Dad huh, dad the drinker with no job?"

"Oh, Jess you know I wouldn't like that."

"Then you need to stop, mom." I said ending the conversation and going to sit next Felix, who looked as if he was feeling really awkward. "Now mom on a higher note, I was wondering if maybe Felix can stay the night, he'll sleep on the couch if he needs to."

My mom who was near tears since I said I would move in with my dad, nodded and walked to her room.

"You can stay for one more day right?" I asked.

"Yes," he said.

"Ok, then tomorrow when my mom is out you can change me in to a vampire, and then we'll leave."

"Actually," he said. "It takes about 3 days for the change to be done."

"Then we'll go somewhere while the change goes on, I'll tell my mom I went to California to get my dorm for collage."

He nodded. "It's a plan," he said kissing me on the cheek

That night we stayed up till 2AM talking about vampire and his job.

"So you really sparkle in the sun?" I asked.

He grimaced and nodded. "It's not the manliest trait of being a vampire but I guess it's better than burning in sun light."

I grimaced.

"See," he said. "Even you think it's wrong, I'm a total freak,"

"I don't think you're a freak," I said. "I mean out of everyone I have met you are the person that I connect the best with."

"But I bet it still makes you think twice about going out with me." He said smiling

"Actually it doesn't seem that big to me, I mean sure it surprises me but that's only because I have heard so many of those myths."

"You're not even creeped out a little bit that you're dating a vampire? I mean come on I'm not even fully alive?"

"Hey if you ask anyone at school they would tell I'm bound to end up with some like being that I talk waaay too much.

"I don't mind talking too much; I'm more of a listener," he said smiling.

"Well then I guess we are perfect." I said kissing. He kissed me really sweetly, but then we it really started to get intimate; he pulled away and looked away. I noticed he wasn't breathing.

"You should probably go to bed now," he said. "I don't want you to be tired tomorrow."

"Like you won't be tired as well," I said.

"Actually, I won't," he said. "Being that I'm a vampire I don't sleep."

I gasped. "You didn't tell me that!"

"Really," he asked. Then he laughed. "Go off to bed, I'll be here tomorrow."

"Fine," I said. "But I swear if you aren't here in the morning, I'll stake you."

We both laughed.

He pulled me on to his lap

"I'd like to see you try," he whispered.

"With stone hard skin like yours I'd probably be the one getting hurt, with a splinter."

We laughed again and then he picked me and ran me to my room. It was amazing all I felt was a burst of air and I saw my living room walls zooming around for a second and then I was in my room, if I had blinked I would have missed it. He placed my on my bed.

"Sleep now," he said. "Dream happy dreams and awake to me in the morning."

I smiled. "That sounds nice." He was so romantic. I just loved how he treated me like I was a princess from a fairy tale. We laid on my bed and cuddled until I fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning he wasn't on the bed next to me but I figure that was so he could make my mom believe that he was sleeping.

When I step out of the room he was not in the living room, but instead in the kitchen, cooking.

"What are doing," I asked as I walked in the kitchen. He had just flipped a pancake on to a plate.

"Breakfast for the human," he said handing me a plate with pancakes, eggs and bacon.

"Wow this looks great," I said taking my plate to the table. He sat down at the table and watched me eat.

"Mmm, how does someone who doesn't eat, make food so good?" I asked as I ate all of my delicious food.

"Well when you see humans do for about a hundred years or so, it becomes pretty easy." I laughed.

"So tell me more about you 'job' what exactly do you do?" I asked.

"Hm, well I wouldn't exactly call it a job now. I mean I don't think it is exactly any kind of career. I guess if I wanted to put it in to simple term I could say that I enforce vampire law."

"Vampires have laws?" I asked surprised.

"Of course we do, you didn't think you could just do whatever you wanted did you?"I didn't say anything but he seemed to know my answer just the same. "If we didn't have laws I'm sure many of us would have been shown to the world a long time ago, then what would happen? The humans we hunt would live in fear of us; they would find ways to protect themselves against us. They would try to eliminate us and then are advanced species would be no more. What I do is a help a group of people called the Volturi ensure that know finds out about us. We make sure that the existence of vampire is kept a secret and that those who try to expose us to the human are eliminated. I would not call it a job because they do not pay me in any way, and I am always free to leave. It has gotten to the point that I have been with them for so long that I have no desire to leave, they have become my family. My masters are like fathers to me. I love them and I love the job that I am to do. One trait my masters look for in all of their members of the guard is a special ability of some sort, and most of them have one. Some can inflict pain by only using their thoughts, another can shut down your body with their mind, there are so many different abilities and we have some of the strongest on our guard. I however do not have what would traditional be count as a special ability, but I do have some thing that helps a lot with my job on the guard. I have super strength and advance combat skills. My strength is a lot stronger than an average vampire's. I'm even stronger than vampires in their strongest state. My strength also helps with my combat. Together I could beat a master of any or even all combat styles in a master of seconds, vampire or human. I am one of the most important, respected and feared members of the guard. I have protected them for many years and have earned their eternal trust. They know that they trust me with their lives."

"Wow," I said. I knew it was really lame, but I was just overwhelmed with how he talked about the topic. I saw the devotion that some people would give their religion. "You speak about your masters like their your…gods."

"In a way they kind of are," he said the devotion coming back to his voice. "They could be called the gods of the real vampire world. Everyone sees their gods as someone who is watching over the world controlling what goes on and chose the consequences of everyone's actions. The Volturi watches over the world's vampires, they control what the vampires do and make sure none of them expose us. They will punish those who break the law and take pride in what they do. They have been here years and will remain to here for years to come, and I will risk my life to ensure that happened."

I was amazed with what he told me and I too wanted to feel how he felt, I wanted to help these magnificent people. I wanted to enforce vampire law. I wanted these people that loved Felix, to have the same love for me.
