Disclaimer: Uhhhgg hate these things... Anyway I don't own Twilight or Edward... But I DO own Missy (I think?) and "Ashqiela Smith"
Chapter 1
*May 21, 2012, 1:09am *
That day- err, should I say night, again. Time to find a new "home" to hide in for a bit. I've overstayed my welcome here and people were starting to become suspicious of a 17-year-old who seems to stay at, well, 17. By records, I should be 21, and people are beginning to notice that the once 'ordinary' Ashqiela "Smith" is becoming a bit less so. I've already planned my 'escape' tonight; leaving in the dead of night and hoping that the rumors wear off in a few months. I mean, it isn't a crime for a 21-year-old to leave their own home in the middle of the night, right? I'm planning to go somewhere remote. There's this place called Forks and it seems pretty nice there. I've even heard of some blood suckers there who are actually vegetarians. I mean, yah, sure. But they may be able to help me… Anyway, no one will recognize me, no matter where I go. Everyone is long dead, so why should I worry? I've been doing this for so long, over a hundred years. I have to carve out a new identity for myself, change my hair and eye color, my facial features… blue eyes and silky black hair would be nice… just a little adjustment, maybe a cute button nose, Asian-style eyes. I close both eyes and form the picture in my head. I feel a slight tickling sensation, and when I open my eyes, I know I don't need a mirror to see what I look like. Now I just need some up-to-date clothes, and I'll be ready to go. I quickly change back to my "regular" self (dark skin, long, springy dark-brown curls, round face and hazel eyes) as I hear a knock on the door. I can smell her, even through the door, that sweet perfume that matches the wonderful personality that separates her from the rest. It's Missy, a little 7-year-old girl that has seemed to have idolized me ever since I helped her with some homework. It was simple, really. The homework, I mean.
"Come in," I call to her. The door opens slowly, with a little hesitation.
"Ash? Where are you going?" Ash… her pet name for me. I sigh, seeing that, despite everything I tried to do to make my going secret, she isn't fooled at all.
"I have to move, Missy. I found a place across the country. This way, I can help a lot more little girls," (I tickle her nose, and she giggles) "like you out with their homework."
She looks up at me, suddenly serious, with those solemn, dark eyes, and I regret ever having to leave this her. I wish I could see her again though… No, I tell myself, I can never see her again. She's already too involved in all this, and if she even recognized one thing about me in ten years, she would freak. No, it's better this way.
"I just have to finish packing," I sigh and pause before saying, "I'm leaving tonight."
At this, she runs over and grabs onto my leg. I'm much stronger than her, but I let her hold on to me as I feel her silent sobbing and hear her quick heartbeat like a drum to my ears. If only I could see Avery and Justin again- I cut myself off, shutting off the past, the other little girl and boy –twins- that I'd had to leave. I slowly pull Missy off my leg and give her a quick hug.
"Goodbye, Missy."
And I leap out the window, leaving her alone in my now deserted room.
And now the fun begins! What will happen next? Will she hide out with the Cullen's? Or does she have another connection?
Edward: I like option one!
Me: SHUT UP, EDDY BOY!
Edward: Jeez, yah don't need to go all PMS-ing on me.
Me: WHY YOU LITTLE-
Anyways, when I get tired, I get a bit melodramatic… gotta hit the showers now! *hit* OUCH! -note to self: don't hit inanimate objects. ;D
