Fabian:
It was a rainy Monday afternoon when he was driving home from school, humming silently to himself at a song he particularly enjoyed. He liked Forks in a way that made him a little resentful of his old home. He liked how there was no sunlight to affect his pale skin. He liked how every once in a while, he would see trees as far as the eye can see. Everywhere he turned he would see something green and he was glad for some fresh air.
He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't see the dog crossing the street and he swerved just enough to avoid it. He sighed in relief before moving his eyes to the road once again. And that was when he knew that he made the biggest mistake of his life.
All he remembered was that other car and then nothing. It was his fault as to why he accidentally hit a tree at thirty miles per hour and he was technically dead now but why could he still feel the pain in his chest? Why could he still hear the people screaming and demanding for an ambulance? Why could he still smell the smoke burning from the car's engine? He was glad the gas tank isn't affected. The last thing he wanted was for other people to see an explosion with him in it.
He felt being carried away by someone strong, feeling the blood drip from his chest and stomach and all the other cuts from his other limbs. He was being placed in a bed, with the scent of medicine and some anesthesia. He wasn't sure if he wanted to die so no pain can be felt or if he wanted to live for the sake of his parents and his baby brother.
That was when he felt teeth sink into his neck.
He couldn't describe all the pain that suddenly burned his body and all he could do was start screaming as it seeped through his veins, killing in its wake. Then, he blacked out once again, everything growing silent as the burning stopped almost as abruptly as it started.
Fabian didn't know how long he has been out. He didn't know what happened to him. All he knew was that when he woke up, his throat was so dry it hurts. And the wounds he possessed in his car accident were no more, not even scars which would usual replace them. Only Emmett was with him in the room, watching him intently with the same golden eyes his family has. "What happened?" it was more of a croak and he never thought he could ever be more thirsty.
"What do you remember?" Edward was suddenly by his side, a small smile plastered on his face.
"The car accident and…" he suddenly couldn't recall what happened just a minute ago. "Why does my throat hurt so much?"
They both shared looks until the man on the left nodded in agreement. "I'll call Carlisle." Emmett voiced for him,
This time, he counted for how long they were gone, which was technically about one and a half seconds. Their father explained everything to him with ease and he was rather surprised that Fabian believed them as if he has suspected it for quite some time now. "Bella and Alice will bring you hunting."
"I'll try not to underestimate them." They chuckled before leaving him alone with his thoughts and burning throat.
Nina:
She never heard from Fabian. She never expected to. But she could feel that there was something about him that was different. And her dreams have proven that what she was thinking was true.
He was running, laughing as two women tried to keep up with him, one drawing closer and closer to him than the other. And she never saw him so happy before, so alive and free.
"Try to keep up, Bella. You should be fast since you're Edward's wife and all." He chuckled, sprinting backwards this time and avoiding all the trees that were in his way with ease without even looking. And the girl smiled before exerting so much effort as she pushed herself forward, nearly breaking the tree that was in front of her but due to her inhuman grace dodged it in time.
"Fast enough for you, Fabian?" And this time, the other one, the small pixie girl laughed.
And they stopped in the middle of the forest; abruptly enough that she was surprised that physics didn't affect them. All three of them sniffed the air, with him leading them to where his goal was. He smiled widely when he saw three does drinking in the small lake. "It's been a while since I ate those." Bella said wistfully, licking her lips as she crept beside her ex-boyfriend and he smiled at her, the smile that she wished that he would give her.
"Less talking more drinking. I'm parched." The pixie mused, attacking one of them and sinking her teeth to their necks.
Fabian followed suit, draining the young deer as he drank and drank and drank. The other two were much neater than him but she had that feeling that he would get used to it.
"Hmm, that tastes nice but not quite right."
"You'll get used to it." The one with the long hair said, "Plus, I think we can both agree that this is a pretty impressive hunt. Am I right, Alice?"
The girl, Alice, giggled and nodded, already tugging his hand back to the forest where they raced back with him leading.
She gasped as she sat up, reminding herself of what she just saw. It was just a dream, she told herself over and over again; Fabian can't kill a fly, much less a doe.
But why does it look so real?
Fabian:
"Do you have any special abilities you want to share to us, Fabian?" Emmett teased like he usually does and he chuckled.
"I don't really know. I haven't really tried…" he sighed but gave a genuine smile to the speaker, leaning on the sofa with Carlisle, Renesmee, and Jacob at his side.
So they tried to figure it out, having ask him do so many crazy things that he lost count. It was Alice who finally caught the ability, having to ask him to think of something. They didn't ask Edward if he could see the image but Emmett instead, at first shaking his head before raising an eyebrow.
"Anubis house?" the mind reader asked easily, having to grin when they realized that he was quite right.
"It is quite like Zafrina's but you can make any specified person see what you want them to."
He knew what that meant. He accidentally used this power against them for he gave Nina a hint of who he was now in her dreams. He was watching her in a way that only he can, literally seeing as far as Japan if he wanted. And he understood how much she wanted to see him again. He unconsciously made her want him again in a way that made him realize that her feelings for him hadn't fully disappeared.
"Have you tried to show her what you want when she's awake?"
"I can try but I really should stay safe. I can't show her more about what I already am." He paused, "I just needed to show her that I changed."
Rosalie looked at him with a questioning expression. "She would never believe that it is real."
"That's what I'm aiming at. It's her choice to believe or not."
They commended him for his diligence and how he thought of everything before they did, even when it was merely an accident. He was known for his thoroughness and he was glad that he was starting to make a mark in this family who adopted him. It was Carlisle and Edward who was most fascinated about his adventures, asking every once in a while about how he coped with living in a house filled with mystery. He never really understood the entire concept of immortality and he never wanted it but if he was offered the chance to live a life as a god with Nina by his side, ruling with him, he would gladly accept the offer.
But a lot has changed over the years.
The Cullens trained him, allowing him to use Jacob as his dummy. He showed him many things: the Mask of Anubis, the Cup of Ankh, Senkhara, Victor, Vera, his friends and family, the house, the tunnels, the school. He showed him Nina Martin's face, showed him how much he loved her even after giving him forever to search for someone new, showed him how happy he was whenever he's with her. "You miss her?" Jacob voiced, summarizing whatever he witnessed.
"I don't really know." He didn't need to clarify because all of them seemed to understand what he was talking about, as if having the same experiences.
It was Esme who told him to go inside, having to talk to him about something important. He has grown an unusual bond with the mother, something he can't really explain but it was good. She treated him as if he was her own and he was glad for someone to take care of him. "Tell me about Nina," she started with ease, gesturing for him to sit next to her on the long couch.
He found it hard to talk about her, found it hard to just tell her everything that has happened to them so he just decided to show Esme what he showed Jacob, adding a few details about her Gran and how he first saw her. And she nodded when he finished, saying a few words of advice that he was yet to follow before smiling at her and heading to his room.
He would push his power further, wanting to show Eddie everything that happened to him, explaining as to why he left them and how he didn't want any of them to find out where he is. It was as good a plan as any but there was something about the way he said it made him feel a little guilty for going in the first place.
And let's just say that he was pretty happy with the results.
Nina:
It was another Monday in Anubis house and everyone was eating breakfast, feeling a little lonely because the seat where Fabian used to sit was now empty.
Eddie was laughing at how Patricia was looking at him, annoyance etched in her features as if it was permanently implanted there. Well, that was until the spoon he was holding fell to the floor and he sat up as straight as he could, staring into space. They all stopped eating; watching him with worried eyes as if they already know what was going to happen. But honestly, she had this feeling that it wasn't from the usual reasons.
"What is it?" His girlfriend asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.
He shook his head as a response. "I don't know what happened. I just started seeing things and… Fabian doesn't want us to search for him and that it would be no use if we ever do."
They all gasped, unable to figure out how Eddie saw this. She decided that it was time to tell them about her dream, including even the minor details for she knows that it would be important. Nina meant to make them envision whatever she has seen, even when it would scare them, she doesn't care. Amber was the one who finally screamed for her to stop because they both knew Fabian very well. He can't turn to a killer, especially such a beautiful one.
He honestly looked better than she remembered him to be, his skin paler than usual with absolutely no intention to make it like that. His eyes weren't the same brown but fierce blood red. There was an obvious amount of muscle that wasn't there before. And his laugh sounded different, finding another reason to enjoy himself by killing other animals. "It's just a nightmare, Nina." Mara reassured her, having to place a hand on her shoulder just for her to get the message.
"Yeah but what if it isn't. What if this is what he wanted to show me?"
"No, that can't be it. There are no such things as vampires or werewolves or aliens." At this part, Jerome shot Alfie a dirty look but he chose to ignore it.
"But what if Alfie's been right the entire time? What if there are and we just don't know it?"
For the first time in the many years that she has known them, she can't believe she just said that. But she meant it. She knew it was just a theory but it was the most likely. What else would explain how he took down those does? And who were Alice and Bella? What if she was just imagining these things because she missed him all too much and was just finding something else to believe in after everything that happened to them? The memory of him just hurt her, made her feel guilty for growing farther and farther from him. He was her first real friend, the only person who defended her from Patricia and made Amber her friend. Seeing him like that made her miss him.
And for once, she actually wanted to forget about him.
