Hey guys. Welcome to TGWFFTS, please review! :D
I opened my eyes; something was wrong. I sat up and regretted it; everywhere was aching but it was better than the icy pain I had last felt. Sighing I flopped down again, wincing. I looked around, it was night but I could see.
Splashes of orange, yellow and red were all around me. That was odd, I was sure it was midsummer the last time I passed out. (A: N Bella was changed two days before her birthday in September, which means Victoria came some time in spring or summer.) Had I slept through a whole month?
I groaned as I slowly sat up; I couldn't sleep anymore.
Someone whimpered. Snarling I flipped over, my muscles burned and I held back a scream. There was a russet wolf the size of a horse, a young girl with familiar bronze hair had forced her head in his neck. I narrowed my eyes and hissed. I didn't want to kill the wolf, it reminded me of the sandy one but that didn't mean I wouldn't kill it if it attacked me.
The wolf growled at me, frightening the young girl who ran into the darkness. The wolf looked behind him and I pounced. My teeth ripped through the wolf's neck and he howled, throwing me to a tree. I leaped up but the wolf pushed me down with surprising strength.
Was that one of the wolves in La Push? I hope not, I really hope not. Sure, I could take on this wolf but a pack of mutant wolves? No way, nope.
The wolf stood above me, I had little time so I took him off guard and hissed, "Go on kill me, you mutt because as soon as you kill me someone is going to come after that little girl of yours." I went right up to his frighten face, "And she's going to die, very slowly."
This of course was a compete lie; I just needed to get away. A bronze haired man threw the wolf off of me; I looked up into his wild gold eyes. I almost choked. I knew those eyes, but who did they belong to? It wasn't anyone in my coven, that's for sure.
I remember one of my coven, Victoria. If you saw her you couldn't forget her, ever. Just one look and that's it, you're most likely going to die. I would have liked to die, I honestly would have, because there are worse things than dying, aren't there?
I would know, I had a fate worse than death. I was Victoria's test subject; she injected vampire venom and removed it. Though she didn't remove it straight away, she let it burn. That is my first memory.
The second is her injecting red liquid into my arm, every single day for five years; she put this red liquid into my arm. If I asked what then she would hit me. So I didn't ask.
She had a friend, a mate, I think. I can't remember his name, was it Jared? Or Jacob? No, NO it was James. There was another one, but he was never around.
But these gold eyes reminded me of them. The vampires with the human pet, the ones who I hated, who killed Victoria and James.
You might be confused, if they destroyed my abusers then I should love them, but I don't. That's because with Victoria I knew where I stood; I knew what I had to do. Now, what am I suppose to do? I don't have anyone now.
I snarled, keeping my eyes on this bronze haired man. "Who are you?"
The bronze haired man seemed as if he was in a daze, "My name is Anthony Masen, I am here with my family."
Just then, a bear-like man with dark black hair and golden eyes shot through the forest, growling. Anthony pointed to the bear-like man, "This is my brother, Paul McCarty."
Paul looked confused and was about to say something when Anthony gave him a look.
Then a man, littered in scars with golden eyes and golden hair jumped down from the trees. "I am Peter Whitlock. There you know our names; I think we need to know yours."
I looked at the three boys, something was off but I didn't have any evidence, "I'm Kayla."
Peter nodded at me, looking expectant for more information. I looked at him, not looked away from his poisonous eyes, I hissed, "I'm not saying anything else."
Then we were joined by three females and one other male. The first female was beautiful; her golden hair flowed down her back in a sun-like waterfall. Her skin was the colour of the moon and her eyes the colour of a starless sky.
The second female was tiny; her nose was pointed as was her hair. Her eyes were a murky gold and her teeth shone like little toothpicks.
The third female looked worried; her caramel coloured hair was soft and smooth. Her black eyes were bright, she only looked at me.
The last male had long blonde hair that was in a comb over. His gold eyes were curious and the way he looked at me, it was like he was examining me.
Gulping, I realised I had no chance, I was heavily outnumbered. I could escape from one mutant wolf, but a pack of vampires? No thanks.
"My name is Kayla. I am looking for my parents killers." I muttered, glaring at Peter. Then my voice rose to a hiss, "That is all you are getting out of me."
The last male looked at me, still examining me, "Who killed your parents? We could help you find them, if you just tell us."
"I don't know their names."
"What about your parents,? What are their names?"
I bit my lip; these people could easily kill me. Telling these people just the names of my parents won't hurt. Will it? I know James had enemies, could these people be an enemy?
"Promise you won't hurt me. Swear on that little girl."
The man chuckled, "I promise I won't hurt you, I swear. You have my word."
I had a quick scan of the area; I could get out if I jump on the trees. Though I would get caught, there is no if's or but's.
"They weren't my real parents, they just adopted me."
"What are their names?"
"They aren't alive, you know."
"What were their names?"
"Can't you just let me go? Pretend none of this happened?"
"Kayla, what were their names?"
I sighed, it was infuriating. I really had no choice; I was like a caged animal. Looking at the ground, I mumbled, "Their names were James and Victoria. They got killed by some yellow-eyed freaks."
Silence. No one was breathing, or moving, or doing anything, they were just staring at me. Honestly, I wanted to growl at them, snarl, bit and hiss. They had no right to put me in that situation; they forced me to tell them.
I looked up, glaring at the male, "Now, what is your name? What are all of your names?"
Anthony spoke up, no emotion showed on his face, or in his voice, "Peter, Paul and I have already said our names." As he said this he gestured to Peter and Paul.
The male said, "Well I'm Charlie and this is my wife, Anne. Peter is married to Mary Brandon, and Paul is married to Lillian, or Lily." He nodded to Anthony, "My son is married to Marie and they have a child, Renee. We also have a shape-shifter who was joined us, his name is Billy. Speaking of which could you go check on them? Let them know we have a visitor?"
Anthony smiled, "Of course Father."
I panicked; I was NOT going into a house with nine vampires and a shape-shifter. "Don't worry, I'm not staying."
Charlie smiled at me, "No, you must. We have a hot shower and a bed; we could help you find who killed your parents."
They weren't helpful. After I had a shower the familiar-looking Marie showed me to a bed. But we talked downstairs in the living room. None of them had any information about my parents, they didn't even know them. On several occasions I had desperately tried to leave, they were having none of it. They insisted that I say for a while, until I get back on my feet. I said that I would stay for two nights and that was it. There was something about them that put me off, something was going on and I wanted to know what but I wanted to leave.
I just wish I knew what it was that was so familiar.
I hope the names weren't confusing, I tried to make them personal to the person. Review! Thanks for reading!
