"Alex?" a worried voice asked. I open my eyes and find Embry watching me, tears streaming all over his face.
"Where am I?" I ask. I sit up and see I'm on a couch in an unfamiliar room, white walls, white couch, white everything. "No!" I yell. I put my hands to my face, but there's no wires, even though there's an IV in my arm.
"Alex, your safe here." says Jake's voice. He is holding a girl, who looked about seven, but was really about two and a half.
"Nessie. Her name is Renesmee, but everyone thought it was a mouthful, so you called her Nessie. Her mother, Bella, who Jake used to like, hated the name, but Jake imprinted on Nessie. Nessie doesn't care because 'Jakey' is for her only now. She's half and half and if she touches you she can tell you or show you what she's thinking." I say, reading her off as statistics.
"Amazing." a voice says. It should have been to quiet to hear, but I heard it.
"Your the good ones. You don't have red eyes, but gold. Your not going to run tests on me, because you don't want me to feel uncomfortable. Your name is Carlisle Cullen. You changed everyone here except Jasper and Alice. You are a doctor. I just gave you a bunch of information to show what I can do, now why is these people called the Volturi hunting me?" I ask. Carlisle just stands there, dumbfounded, his mind calculating. I sense people behind different walls, listening on it. I find one, Edward, who is Nessie's father, vampire, golden eyes, bronze hair, and has mind reading. He also knows the piano and a bunch of different languages.
"You know than answers. Come out and talk to me like a man. I need answers." I push into his head.
"Carlisle, she pushes thoughts too." Edward says. But he does come out from behind the wall. I turn towards him.
"What do you know." I ask. A smile falters on his lips.
"The Volturi and, as you know, basically vampire royalty. We've fought them before, and they want you as a vampire, for your powers."
"If they try to vampify me, I'll die." I whisper.
"Are you...?"Edward trails off.
"It's one of the reasons I came home, but I can control it. I stopped for two years, I turned when I was 13, and then it started again a few months back, when they started coming to check up on me." I explain. "But I'm not very big, so it's hard to...kill." I murmur.
"I can't see her." Alice says. It was simple. But somehow I was still elegant enough to hide it. Somehow, I'm like Nessie, but only a little different. I'm half wolf, half vampire, but I smell human. See...Jake's my half brother. We share the same Dad, and I always lived with them, but somehow, my mom was Vampire and able to have me. But I only drank deer blood if I had to drink blood at all. Edward reads my mind and I'm nervous.
"Can I use the rest room?" I ask. Alice unhooks the IV and leads me toward the bathroom door while I"m sure Edward is explaining this to Carlisle, Jake, and Embry.
"When your finished, your going to come with me. I think your going to trade on and off living with us and your Dad. I'm going to get you some nicer clothes." Alice says. I hurry up in the bathroom and then run side by side up the stairs with Alice. She opens the door to her room. She pulls me into the closet and lets me sit down. She has practically her own clothing store here. She gets me Hollister jeans that are kinda tight, but I don't mind, and a green tee-shirt that's covered with a zip up hoodie the color of bubble gum that goes to the middle of my ribcage from Juicy Couture. I sigh and let Alice fix my hair. She brushes it out then straightens it, leaving it hanging to my lower back. I spin for her and she claps happily. I laugh and we walk downstairs.
"I'll go first, then you come behind me. Count five seconds." she runs down stairs. I count. One.
"Where's Alexa?" Embry's voice says, worried. Two.
"She'll be right down." Edward says, smiling probably from the image in Alice's head. Three. Four. I start going down. Five. I'm at the bottom of the staircase, and I turn to look at everyone. I feel myself blush as Embry's mouth falls open.
"Hi." I laugh nervously. I look over to Jake, Alice, and Edward, who are now joined by Bella, shield power, brown hair, gold eyes, Rose, no power, blond hair, gold eyes, and Emmett, bear like, no power, brown hair. Jasper is standing with Carlisle, they look like brothers. Both blond hair, gold eyes, but Jasper can read and change emotions. I step down the last step then hear my phone ring. Jake hands it to me.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Hi, Alexa?" the voice asks.
"This is she. Who is this?" I ask. The voice is vaguely familiar, but I can't figure it out.
"Alexa! You left yesterday, you don't remember your own roomie?" The voice asks.
"Oh. Hi Avery. What's up?" I ask.
"Just wanted to make sure you got home okay."
"I did. Well, this is kind of a bad time, so I'll call you back." I say. I hang up without her response.
"So,umm...can I?" I ask Edward. He reads my mind and nods.
"Of course." Obviously, if you know me, I walk over to the piano and start playing Fantasia in D minor. I just keep playing, changing the melody into something in Edward's head called 'Bella's Lullaby'. I get absorbed into, I don't see Bella's reflection and Edward's surprise as I pull it into Esme's favorite. She now comes in, with a heart shaped face, soft features, caramel brown hair. I smile as I turn around and see every one curious.
"Edward has amazing description when he thinks of music." I say simply. They all laugh. I stand up and walk over to Jake and Embry. Jake smirks and Nessie puts her hand on my face.
"I don't know. Hum it." I reply to her question. Jake puts her down and she comes with me over to the piano. I laugh when she starts humming the Elmo's World theme song. Reluctantly I go over to the piano and start playing her request. She dances around the room and we all laugh. I stand back up and walk again over to Jake and Embry.
"I wanna go home." I murmur. Jake nods, as he and Embry take my hands and bring me home. They change into wolf and I just run. It's kinda fun though, because I'm faster, and I can tell there really trying. I beat them home and am in the door first. Then I realize why they changed. They sent the message of me being half vampire to the rest of the boys. They where all at the house and Paul just about pounced on me as I walked into the door.
"Should we kill you know? Or later?" Paul asks. I smirk.
"Hey Pauly boy, I know you know I'm half and half, but Jake's not my only brother here. Your mom was my vamp mom. Deal with it." I smirk and strut into the kitchen. I feel vibrations though the room I run into my room and am in sweats when Paul is being pushed outside. I sigh.
"You want to fight me Paul? You want me to say I"m lying?" I ask. Paul just runs into the woods and phases. I take off running and phase through the air. I'm a small wolf, more like a pony to the rest of the gang's horse. Paul comes at me and I dodge him. I'm able to get into his head and show him and further explain things. He's still furious, so I lunge at him and he doesn't see it coming. I win.
I run off to the Cullen's where Alice is waiting with clothes. I nod and run into the woods, changing into them, then I run back home. Embry is waiting outside. I'm wearing jeans and a longs sleeve shirt, but it still has Embry pull me inside. I"m being dragged and even though I had a huge scratch on my arm from Paul, he's got one side that's covered in ice packs.
"Sorry." I mutter.
"So you are really brothers with Jake and Paul?" Seth asked. I nod.
"But listen. I know I am vampire, but I just proved I'm also shapeshifter. I've got the really bad vampires coming after me for that and I don't know what to do. I'm not trying to hurt anyone, and just then I wanted to prove I am your blood. I don't even like drinking blood! Most of the time I just eat human food, but if I need to, I'll take down a deer. Please, I just need help." I say. I crumble to the couch and cry. Embry comes, and I look up at him. I pull him into the kitchen, hiding us from everyone. That's when I do something I've always wanted to. I get up and stand up on my tippy toes, and kiss him. He's surprised at first, but then he kisses me back, his warm lips on mine. Finally we stop and I just stand there, hugging him. That's when I realized people fallowed me in.
"So..." Jake said. I blush and then I smell something. It's a deer. In the back.
"Oh no." I say. Jake and Paul hold me down. "Water. Juice. Milk. I need something to drink. NOW!" I order. I haven't really fed on blood in almost two years.
"Two years?" Edward said from the doorway.
"Yeah, but I'm okay." I say. I feel like I'm going to cry. I need that blood.
"NO! I don't need it." I yell at myself and Edward. Carlisle comes next and I smell it. It's donated human blood. I try to withhold myself, but I"m barely able to sit still as Carlisle puts it into a cup. He gives me the cup and my eyes flash red. "No." I whisper. Jake and Paul let go of me slightly and I can't help but gulp down the blood.
"Two years." Carlisle shakes his carried me into my room and sits with me while I fall asleep. It was a long day, but I'm finally safe. I'm home.
