The Lost Souls
Brown eyes stared back at me as I looked into the mirror. Even after so many years I was still not use to being met with the sight of brown hair and eyes, as well as the pale skin. Though I doubt I would get used to it. Even after the last time I had switched bodies it took me over a century to get used to the new body and still sometimes found myself feeling inside of it every once in awhile. I'll certainly enjoy getting used to it though. Smiling, I turned away from the mirror.
I grabbed my jacket and keys before leaving my bedroom and making my way out of the house. I slipped my jacket on and pulled the hood over my head before steeping out from underneath the porch. Shivering, I pulled my jacket tighter around me as the rain fell at a steady pass. Quickening my pace, I made my toward the my car.
Shutting the car door, I turned the car on and gave it a moment to warm up. You think with this body being half vampire I'd be fine with the cold. I turned on the radio as I began to back out of the driveway. Heat began to fill the car and I started to tap my fingers against the steering wheel to the beat of the music coming from the speakers.
The trees started to thin out until disappearing as I took a turn into a parking lot. Turning off the car, I looked out towards La Push Beach. So many memories it brings back. None of mine of course. I closed the door behind me and pulled my hood tighter over my head.
"Raychel! Hurry up!" Billy yelled as he ran toward the water. Giggling, I ran after him before stopping at the shore line. I watched as all the other children played in the water.
"What's wrong Raychel?" Billy asked. I looked at him before looking back toward the water. "It's okay Raychel it's not scary." Billy said before taking my hand. He squeezed my hand as I smiled up at him.
"Promise?" I asked as I looked back out toward the water.
"Promise." He replied as we made our way to where the other children were.
I angrily shook my head as I sat down in the sand. Slipping my shoes off I placed my feet in the sand and watched as the water licked at the shore. I wrapped my arms around around my knees. I wiped my face as I felt water run down my checks. I cursed myself as I realize that it wasn't the rain making my face we. Get yourself together Swan. They're not your memories so stop get emotional over them. You don't even know the people in them. So stop. Growling, I grabbed my shoes before heading back to my car.
The car door slammed behind me as both of my hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. Breathing in and out slowly I tried to calm myself down and stop the tears that had begun to fall freely from my eyes. I angrily wiped at them with the sleeve of my jacket.
I quickly drove out of the parking lot and started the ride home. Pulling up to my house I took one last deep breath before turning off the car. Closing the door behind me I leaned against the door and wiped away the last of the tears from my cheek. I shook my head before pushing away from the door.
I threw my jacket into the living room as I made my toward the kitchen. Opening up one of the top cupboards I pulled out a cup and placed on the counter. Shutting the cupboard, I made my way to a line up of bottles and randomly picked one. I filled the cup up before placing the bottle back and putting the cup in the microwave.
Taking it out of the microwave I took a sip and sighed as the taste of blood entered my mouth. I made my way out of the kitchen and to my room, already starting to feel myself slightly relax.
I walked into my bedroom and went straight to my bedside table. Opening the top drew I pulled out a small box. The room began to fill with a purple glow as I opened the box. Reaching in I pulled out a small round purple tablet. I placed it on my tongue before taking a sip out of my cup. An instant calm fell over me as the blood and pill made it's way down my throat.
Finishing my drink, I placed the cup down on the bedside table before laying down. I closed my eyes and sighed as I slowly began to drift off.
"Well,well look who came to visit." A voice traveled through he purple gas. If you were to look around you would see nothing, but the purple gas that filled the space. A space that seemed to be endless and unoccupied.
"Oh leave her alone. It's not often that something like this happens." A second voice said to Voice 1. You could get a feeling that Voice 2 was female and Voice 1 was male, but besides the feeling there was no way to exactly tell. You could hear other voices from all over.
"Hush everyone, let her speak." A third voice said and instantly everything became quiet. Though all the voices sounded exactly alike there was a hint of authority along with the voice.
"Thank you." you say once everyone stops talking. With each sound a lighter purple gas swirled, giving some sort of a pin point of the other voices. Besides that there was no other interruption in the purple gas.
"So tell us what made you decide to reside in Forks, Washington, or should I say who?" Voice 2 questioned. Laughter filled the gas a well as hundred of light purple swirls. Chuckling, you wait for everyone to calm down.
"I had one of those feelings." As soon as you finish you hear groans from all over. Rolling your eyes you wait for everyone to calm down, but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.
"Shh, shh. Quiet. Now, you have one of these feelings with every new body and we all know what it leads to." Voice 2 said and you could hear sounds of agreement from the other voices. "Now what really makes this one different, huh?" Voice 1 asked and you could hear the humor in the voice.
"It's stronger then the other ones. I think this could be the one." You reply and would smile if you could. "I can just feel it."
"What's her name?" Voice 3 asked and you could hear that unlike the others that Voice 3 believed that this one was different.
"Alice. Alice Cullen."
A/N: So this is the official first chapter of the updated version of The Lost Souls. Tell me what you think. Hopefully you like this version better. I plan to take it a little bit slower and give more of a background on the Lost Souls themselves. Plus I changed a few things about them. Also I know that this chapter is short, but I think I do a lot better when I make short chapters, plus it's easier to get updates out sooner. Hope that's not a problem. ^_^
