Corin's POV
Airport full filled with sea of humans. Some immigration officers checked me and Santiago's passport and documents then they let us go to boarding room. About fifteen minutes later, we walked through the corridor to reach the plane. We sat at 6 A & B. I sat and Santiago did. He sat next to me. He took a newspaper and I plugged in my earphone. I played the Jonas Brothers' songs on my iPod.
"Jonas Brothers?" Santiago asked me as he saw my iPod.
"Yeah, why?"
He laughed and said, "That teen-band?"
"Then why? I'm still teenager for your information".
"How old are you Corin?" he asked as he closed the newspaper.
"I am 170 this year. You?"
"I'm 209. How was your age when you turned?"
"Seventeen. I'm sure. You?"
"20," he said.
"Coffee, ma'am? Sir?" a Stewardess asked us. I shook my head and that woman smiled and walked by.
"Do you still remember your human's life?" he asked. I plugged out my headphone.
"Little bit."
"Tell me".
FLASHBACK
I was sixteen and three days later, I'll be seventeen.
"Guess who'll celebrate birthday!" Granny stopped sewing and saw her sweater-made.
"Purple, do you like it, Corin?" she asked. I smiled and continued doing my assignment.
"What do you want on your birthday, darling?" she asked. I shrugged.
"A gift from you is enough, gran," I smiled and closed my book.
"No, seventeen is the age where you changed to be an adult. I have to give you more than one gift," she said.
"Granny," I hugged her. I love her. She was the only person who taught me arithmetic. She was the only person who kissed me on my forehead when I'm going to sleep.
"How if…granny called your mom?"
Mom?
I took a breath and smiled awkwardly a bit, "I bet she would never come. She already had a new daughter. She never wants come to my birthday. Trust me".
The next day, granny and I went to my dad's grave. I prayed to him, and I heard granny whispered to my dad's grave.
"Your little girl would change to be a beautiful lady next day. She'll be seventeen, John".
The day was coming. I had turned seventeen.
Neighbors and So many friends of mine came to my party. It couldn't call a party because I just wore a dress and blew the candles. Granny ordered catering and they ate. Just that.
"Happy birthday, Corin," Dan, a boy who was my schoolmate whispered. I smiled blushingly. Yeah…I was kinda like him.
"Corin! Corin!" Aunt Mary, my neighbor ran to me and pulled my hand.
"What happen?"
"Granny! Your grandma!"
Granny sat on the chair. Her eyes closed. I cried and called the ambulance quickly.
After Granny got into emergency room, I sat besides Aunt Mary and cried. I wished Granny would be alright. Then a doctor came out.
"Sorry miss…..Mrs. Georgina has passed away".
NO WAY.
I just sat and cried at home. Even it was the seventh day since Granny gone I was still move less. I didn't go to school and I hadn't eaten. One day when I wanted to visit Granny's grave, Aro came and bit me. He brought me to the castle and told me why he changed me. I was agree with him because if I was still human I'd die. I didn't have anyone in this world. What was my life for then?
END FLASHBACK
I sniffed and I bet if I have tears they would fall down.
"Sorry make you remember your memory," Santiago said. I smiled a bit.
"No problem. So…how's your human's life?"
He shrugged, "I don't remember exactly my human's life. Aro said my life was kinda same with Edward Cullen. You know his story?"
I shook my head.
"He was sick and Carlisle, the leader of The Cullens saved him. Kinda same with me. I was sick but Aro wasn't the doctor," he grinned, "I have no money at that time so I ran from hospital. Aro met me and bit me".
"Do you ever visit your family?" I asked.
"No," his eyebrows met each other, "have you?"
"Yeah when I was 4 years old being a vampire, I visited my mom, but I didn't show my face. I just peeked. Glad to know she was happy with her family. Until I was 10 years being a vampire, I stopped visiting my granny's grave because that grave already moved to somewhere-I didn't know".
"You were lucky because you're still remember your family"
"Yeah I was".
The plane landed on Seattle and we took a mini-plane to Port Angeles. Then we took mini-bus to Forks.
I remembered when we (volturi) came here because Irina Denali's report about Edward's daughter.
"Welcome Corin and Santiago," yeah I remembered this man. Yellowish hair with zeus face. It had to be Carlisle Cullen.
"Thanks," Santiago said and he came to the house as Carlisle let me got in. I followed Santiago.
"To check my daughter, ha?" The most-handsome-oops. I forgot that Edward could read mind.
"No, we just want to give Esme this," Santiago opened is case and gave the gift over to Esme.
"Wow very kind of you," Esme said.
"Happy birthday," I smiled and hugged her.
"Thank you. Would you mind if I open this?"
"Sure," I smiled.
"What a beautiful ring! Say thanks to Aro," Esme smiled and she looked happy.
"Carlisle, Aro told us to stay. Would you mind if we two stay here?" Santiago asked with polite-tone.
"Of course. Alice, show their rooms please?"
"Yep," Alice smiled, "follow me guys"
Alice looked very fashionable. Sometimes I envy her. In volturi, we had to wear black cloak. If I were in my room I just wore my black t-shirts and black jeans.
"Santiago, that is your room, and Corin, this is your room".
"Thank you".
Night came at Forks. I saw Renesmee Cullen lookes like a 6 years old.
"Demetri said when he and Chelsea checked Renesmee last month, that girl looked like 3 years. I'm confused why Caius still doesn't believe the fact that Renesmee is a half-vampire," Santiago stood besides me and I bit my lower lip.
"Guys, do you want to join us to hunting?" Esme asked us. She got ready to hunting with Jasper, Carlisle, Emmet, Edward, and Bella.
"How about Renesmee?" I asked.
"Don't worry. Rosalie and I took her. Go hunting. And Santiago, Corina?"
"Yes?"
"Would you mind to just hunt animal? Because we don't want any human died around here," Alice asked. I nodded and Santiago nudged my elbow.
"What did you do? Don't say that we will hunt animal like them," Santiago whispered.
"I want to try to drink animal's blood. If it doesn't make us full, let's hunt human around Seattle," I answered. Santiago sighed.
