Chapter 2: Flash Backs and Symphonies

Hey guys I know this is long over due but for this particular story I can only write it at a certain time. I am so sorry that I haven't posted it in a while. Hopefully I will be able to post more.

Chapter 2: Flash Backs and Symphonies

As I boarded my flight and found my seat and waited for my flight to take off, I thought about how I got here in the first place how my relationship with Paul ended.

-Flash Back-

I was happily strolling the beach hand in hand with Paul it was nearing our anniversary our last anniversary was simple spectacular he took me to Port Angeles to watch a movie then we had a nice dinner on the beach, under the stars with a 5 star meal provided by Sue. Then finally he asked me to move in with him… I said yes. It was simply magical. But since that day he became more and more distant to me.

I don't know if it was something I did or if something had happened but he was different after that day. It was starting to really bother me. Now we were sharing a bed, a home together and he was barely keeping our relationship alive.

He suddenly left saying that he had to go do some pack things, me being me I followed him. As I entered the woods I was swift and silent – was something I picked up when I was with the pack. I followed him as he took the path that led back to the house, which was strange in its self, the pack never gathered at our house. I was lost in thought thinking about the possibilities of why Paul might have gone there, when I noticed that he had entered the house.

I quickly made my way into the house, when I entered the living room he was nowhere to be seen, so I climbed the stairs to our room maybe he was changing or something before meeting with the pack.

The closer I got to the bedroom the clearer things became; I heard the groaning of springs, and moaning…so much moaning. I didn't want to believe it, no this couldn't be. He said he was done with that life.

I slowly crept to the door and gently pushed it open. I stood there, frozen in shock. There on the bed was Paul with some skanky blond clinging to him like her life depended on him. He was pounding into her with sheer abandonment. I don't know how long I stood there but it must have been a long while cause they had finished with porn-star worthy moans. I finally unfroze long enough to let out a startled gasp. I then had two pairs of eyes staring at me, one pair of ice blue eyes were filled with satisfaction and the pair dark brown eyes were filled with shock, guilt, and what appeared to be a twinge of smugness.

All that came through my mouth was a single whispered phrase "how could you". With that I ran out of the room, out of that cursed house. I ran to the only place that held some sanctuary...my meadow.

I hadn't set foot in that place since the bear attack, it held horrid memories but I knew it was the last place that anyone would think to look for me. So off I went in to the forest so that I could come to terms with what had happened. I finally let someone in, even after I knew that no one could love a person as scared as me. When I finally reached the place where it all happened I broke down. It felt as if someone had taken my shattered heart and broke it even further, crushing the pieces into fine dust scattering them in the wind so they could be lost for all time.

I hadn't even realised that it was raining or that I was crying, the trail of salty water running down my face leaving a scorching trail down my frozen skin. I was alone. With that the world faded into to darkness

I came to with singing birds and the sun showing on my face. I realised that I had spent the night in my meadow, my hands were shaking, and my skin was cold to the touch. My cloths were torn and muddy and my skin was covered in angry, red scratches. Then I remembered what happened last night, the dark brown eyes with so many emotions swirling in them, the ice blue eyes filled with smugness.

I cannot believe that he did that after so many months of begging and pleading he jumped into bed with another girl after we moved in together.

I gathered my shattered self and stumbled back towards the reservation to Sam and Emily. As I stumbled through the forest I thought back to the previous day, there was something unsettling about those ice blue eyes I had seen them before I knew I had.

I had finally, finally exited the forest. I was surprisingly close to Sam's place, I hadn't realised how far I had run yesterday. I pushed the door open with what little strength I had left and stumbled into the warm and comforting home.

Before I even realised I was falling I was caught by two slender tan arms belonging to my sister, in all ways but blood, and was taken to the living room. As I was laid down on the soft couch I crossed eyes with the same ice blue eyes from before…Vanessa's ice blue eyes. This had been her plan all along or part of it at least.

No I could not stay here any longer not with the man whore and the devil himself (trapped in a women's body). My heart was destroyed beyond belief and my very soul was starting to shatter. No I had to leave.

-End Of Flash Back-

It was hours later that my plane had landed in Volterra, Italy. I woke with a start the Stewardesses had gently placed on my shoulder.

"Mi scusi signora? Siamo arrivati a Volterra" (Excuse me miss? We have arrived in Volterra)

I thanked her and gathered my things as quickly as I could.

The other passengers that shared my flight hadn't even spared me a second glance.

I was able to get a cab with little to no effort; the other people surrounding the airport parted like the red see when they saw my face and arms. I learnt how to hide my hurt and shame early on and now kept my face impassive. I got in to the cab with my rug sack on my back and my sweet beauty in my hands. I remained emotionless though out the whole ride to the hotel.

The passing country side reminded me of happier times before I knew of my parentage, before I knew about Edward, before I knew about Jake and the truth about Vanessa, and before all these scars married my skin. I thought back to the confrontation we had before I left.

-Flash Back-

I had just been released from Leah's care after nearly catching hypothermia or even double pneumonia when I saw Vanessa dash into the woods I knew she wasn't allowed near Jacob since he found about her cheating ways but the pack still wouldn't believe what was right in front of them. That she was something else, something that meant them harm. But they were blind.

I followed her into the forest and was shocked when she walked into my meadow, the place that harboured so much of my blood and tears. Why would she come here?

She knelt down and lit something; there was a pile of wood that hadn't been there before. The wood sparked to life creating a small multi-coloured fire. She looked around the meadow, as if she knew someone might have followed her for some unknown reason. She started chanting in some strange language. From where I was standing I could clearly see her face.

After a few minutes of chanting her eyes turned black, and red markings appeared on her skin. I held in a startled gasp she was the strangest thing I had ever seen…but she reminded me of something, something that I had researched about a while ago.

She got up and circled the fire three times before sitting down again, grabbing a knife and slicing her palm open. She clenched her hand allowing a few drops of blood to fall into the fire.

I waited for something, anything to happen. Nothing did.

That was when I noticed how quite it had become, there was no whistling of the wind, no rustling of the leaves or the movement of animals. It was just silence as if nothing was living or moving, it was beyond strange.

Then there was a shift in the atmosphere; I turned back to Vanessa and was surprised at what I saw, I saw Victoria kneeling in front of Vanessa.

I strained my ears so that I could hear exactly what was being said.

"Mistress you called?"

"Vicky, Vicky, Vicky you've kept me waiting. How has the tracking been going?

"Ummm…I've hit a dead end, I cannot find this Izabel that you as looking for. I have searched everywhere using the description of the blue tattoos that you gave me. Still nothing."

"Tut, tut, tut. Vicky you are going to have to do better than that. You know being a tracker that you cannot rely on appearance alone, you need their history, smell, last known location all of that.

-End Of Flash Back-

I shook my head, to rid my mind of those thoughts

I took my sleek instrument into my hand.

I caress her cool glistening form…her body humming with pleasure, pulsing with anticipation.

It had been so long since we had been together, since we had been joined together…unified as one.

Now we could join again, make sweet symphonies together again.

Oh how this was a sweet and momentous occasion.

I stared at her dark wooden frame, the strings thriving with light and the frame catching the light perfectly…enhancing her curves just right.

Maybe we could do this just once…for old times sake. Before I had to place her back into her box.

This could have been the last time that I get to hold her…caress her…make sweet sweet music with her.

Tomorrow could very well be my last; I was going to meet my maker. They could either decide to change me or end me like I wanted.

However I was rethinking my death wish, as I was holding her, my baby, I was rethinking all of my decisions up until this point.

I thought about all the lessons that I went to. All the times I came home with my figures bleeding and my clothes riddled with sweat and tears. I thought about the hours I had put into practicing until my nails had broken and my skin had ripped open.

Did I want to give all that up…had I given all that up for a stupid boy?

No…I had to rectify this. I had to keep her memory alive and make up for my mistakes.

Even if my last performance was for a group of monsters that probably did not care for her beauty.

But I would play none the less. I would play until my dying breath.

Since I got these scars I knew that I would never be able to preform in front of people…my love for preforming had been crushed, torn to pieces. Since the accident and my heart break I haven't had the heart to pick her up, to tune her strings and shine her frame. I had been so self absorbed in my pain that I let her go…my one friend and constant in my life…the one thing that gave me joy.

I had got onto the plane because I couldn't deal with the heartbreak any longer. But now I see that it was inevitable, my life was going to end one way or another. The wolves couldn't protect the scarred girl for the rest of their lives.

I sighed once again; I could not let these thoughts taint her precious memory. With that I banished those heart-wrenching thoughts and simply play. Creating wondrous masterpieces and beautiful symphonies by sliding over her strings. I hummed along with the melody feeling the music run through me; I would truly miss this feeling.

I sighed once again it was getting late and perhaps it was time for me to rest as much as I could before I meet my end tomorrow, maybe they would let me play for them before I day…be it my dying wish. I placed her back into her case for one more night. Hopefully after my death instead of destroying her or forgetting her they use her and cherish her…make memories and symphonies for others to enjoy.

After strapping her into her case I made my way to the comfy looking four-poster bed with red and white comforter. I pulled back the comforter and crawled into bed. Hopefully tomorrow would come sooner than anticipated…I just wanted this to be over as quickly as possible.

Hope you guys enjoyed it, sorry if it sounded really depressing I was going through a rough time at the moment. Hope you can understand. Please review and give me some feedback on the story.
