Chapter 2

The rest of the day, Carlisle spent asking me questions about my life style. Turns out we pretty much lived the exact way. Well minus the fact that they don't sleep.

Eventually Esme had Edward drive me home and we pretty much remained silent most of the way. That is until he brought up a light conversation.

"So will you be going to school?"

"Yah. Not looking forward to it." I answered looking out the window.

"Why's that?" Edward asked confused.

"Never been to school before. I've always been home schooled by my old covens elder." Speaking of which I need to call Chase later.

"Chase?" He replied.

"My boyfriend." I replied blandly.

"Oh."

We sat another couple minutes in awkward silence. until I finally grew crazy of silence.

"How old are you? I mean just how long have you been living?"

"I'm 113" He replied calmly.

My eyes widened in shock.

'Why do you seem so surprised?' Edward thought not looking at me.

"Not surprised, more along the lines of taken off guard. I kinda expected you to at least be 50." Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!

Edward chuckled at my thought then said, " Don't feel stupid. I thought you were older than 18 when I first met you."

"How old?" I asked at my own curiosity

"30's, if not a little older. You fit the personality of one. Getting to the point of starting to calm down from being a new born." He answered as he turned off the highway.

"Thanks." I said blandly. I do not act like a new born!

"I didn't say you acted like a new born." Edward corrected.

"Ok, me and you are going to have a real problem if you keep up reading my mind." I warned.

'I can't really help it. Man you sure have a temper. Calm down.' Edward thought, 'Trust me, I'm not to fond of another vampire being able to read my mind as well.'

I growled lowly

'I'm getting ready to kick you out of my car if you don't cut it out and clam down.' Edward warned.

"Fine. pull over. I can't stand being around you." I yelled getting unbuckled.

Edward willingly pulled over quickly and I slammed the door open and stormed off.

'Stay out of trouble.' Edward commanded.

'Get out of my head, Edward! And I'll do what I want!'

I began walking to my house and I felt someone following me. Sure enough I turned to see Edwards silver Volvo following.

I held my hand out and had fire come to life, warning him that if he didn't leave, he was going to get hurt.

Nice try, but bribing me doesn't work.' Edward thought.

'It will when I murder you. Now please go away. I'm not going to start any chaos. I'm just going home.' I thought begging him to leave.

God Edward was cute but man was he really annoying plus the fact he can read my mind!

I stopped and turned to him. In his car I could see him smiling slyly. He did not just hear that!

'Oh I did.' He said evilly.

'No you didn't if you know what's best for you.' I threatened.

'Fine I'll just keep it to myself. For now.' he chuckled.

I growled deeply then began stalking my way home, following my mom's scent. She must be just a couple blocks away.

'See yah later, Nyx.' Edward thought as he speed past me in his Volvo.

'Uh-hu.' I replied blandly.

Finally peace! I hate him! You SOB!!!!!! Man why did he have to be a mind reader?! I don't like people knowing my thoughts. That's supposed to be private stuff!

Though I bet he's not to happy that I'm here as well picking threw his thoughts as well. But honestly I don't wana hear!!!

As I walked down the highway I noticed a couple cars pass and stare at me. Finally I looked around and saw it was almost sundown.

BEEEEPPPPP! A horn honked.

I turned to see a cop car pull over.

"You need a ride miss?" asked the man. I examined his car and saw it said sheriff. Ah great.

"Um no I'm almost home, but thank you." I refused.

"Come on kiddo, get in. It's pouring." He laughed and opened the passenger door.

I looked up and, yep, he was right, it was pouring. I looked to the officer and climbed in.

"Where you headed?" he asked.

"Um...... a house that looks like a cottage?" I stumbled. Crap I didn't know the address. That's why I like walking! I could pick mom's scent out quickly.

"Oh, your Tia Mills' daughter?" he asked. Well apparently I'm known already. Great........

"Yah. Nyx." I replied calmly.

"Charlie Swan." he said introducing himself.

I just nodded and looked outside. I hope he knows where I live.

A couple minutes passed and officer Swan pulled up to what I guessed was my house. The reason I knew was because I saw mom's van, and..... is that my new car!? There was a black Pontiac sitting in the driveway next to our old van. I love my car, I Love My Car, I LOVE MY CAR!!!!!!!!

"Well here you are, Nyx." Charlie said turning his car off.

I got out and went up to my beautiful house. It was a small 2-story that was dark brown. The porch was very large, and the door that lead into my house was so cute. I felt like I was in a fairy tale.

Suddenly I heard a car roar and gently pulled up to my house right behind the Officer's cruiser. I looked closely and saw it was Edward and Carlisle. God why did Edward have to come along?!

'Because I was forced to come.' Edward grumbled.

"Ah, hello Dr. Cullen." Charlie greeted from my porch.

"Evening Chief Swan." Carlisle greeted back.

I turned and stormed inside. Mom was sitting at the couch next to some guy.

Wait a Sec!!!!! "Who are you?" I asked quickly.

"Nyx, this is your father Jonas." Tia said with a smile on her face.

"My father?" I asked taken back.

The man turned to look at me and he had a very calm look on his face. He had my blonde hair that was cut very short, and redish-amber eyes.

"Hello Nyx." he greeted.

I shuck my head then said, "Uh mom, we've got company."

"Who?" she asked quickly.

Jonas got up and went up stairs quickly.

"Uh.... officer Swan, Carlisle and Edward Cullen." I answered as I headed up stairs to see Jonas.

Everyone came in and saw me got up the stairs.

'Where are you going?' Edward thought.

'None of your business!' I thought trying to shut him out of my thought, but failed miserably.

'Sorry about earlier.' Edward thought quickly.

Right as I was about to go up stairs I stopped and turned to Edward with a shocked look. He had a small frown on his face and I felt sorry for being cruel.

I nodded then thought, 'I'm sorry too.'

I began walking back upstairs to have a talk with this man that claimed to be my father.

Why after 18 years did he decide to finally show his face? I mean he could have at least been there for my birthdays, but...... I guess he had a good reason, I hope.

I scanned the 2nd floor to find Jonas standing in my room looking at my art work. I walked in and went to my chair that was near by.

'I know your in here.' he thought.

"I take it mom told you my powers." I stated.

'Naturally. I am your father. I deserve to know that.' he thought blandly.

" So care to tell me why you've decided to show your face after 18 years?" I asked sounding sour.

Joans turned and looked to my door. I looked in the same direction as well and saw Edward giving me the evil eye.

'Don't give me that look.' I thought back calmly.

'Why shouldn't I? He's a member of the Volturi!' Edward thought furiously.

I turned my attention to Jonas and he was wearing a black cloak that the Volturi mainly wore over they're regular cloths. I got up and walked over to him and slapped him extremely hard.

"You came here to take me to them didn't you?" I growled.

"It's was intended that you'd join our coven when you were old enough." Jonas said with no emotion as he looked at Edward with an evil glare.

I pulled Jonas's face to look at me, then growled ,"Get out of my house."

"You have no authority over me, Nyx. Now come on." Jonas said pulling me out of my room.

"I'm not going with you!" I yelled and punched Jonas square in the face.

'She's stronger than I thought. Caius won't be too happy about this.' Jonas thought.

"Yah well you can tell Caius to kiss my as-"

"Nyx!" Carlisle yelled quickly.

I turned and saw him looking worried. 'Just go and tell them that you have no interest in joining them. They'll understand. Just don't anger them.' he urged.

I sighed deeply, I really don't like leaving my mom alone.

'I'll go with if it helps any.' Edward thought sounding protective.

Yet again I sighed deeply. 'Fine.'

"When do we leave?" I asked Jonas.

"We will leave as soon as you tell Tia that your leaving." Jonas said quickly.

I went down stairs and saw mom sitting next to Charlie watching TV.

"Mom, I need to talk to you real quick."

Tia looked up and saw my expression and tilted her head toward the kitchen.

"What's up?" she asked.

"Jonas wants me to go to Voltura. They want me to become a member of their coven.-" I started to explain and mom began to cry.

"Mom, I'm just going to tell them to leave me alone. I want nothing to do with them." I said quickly.

'But they'll make you join them.' she thought.

"Actually they won't. They've never made someone join them. They just gave the offer and if Nyx stays they'll come for her and cause trouble." Edward stated quickly.

Mom looked at Edward with a shocked look and looked back to me.

"Yah, he can read minds too. It's rather annoying." I grumbled.

"Oh." Tia mumbled to herself, "When are you leaving?"

"Now." Jonas said pulling me out the back door.

"Let me go." I growled.

Jonas did let go but he glared at me with a look that made me think he would kill me if he had to.

I rolled my eyes then hugged Tia. "I'll be back as soon as possible. Carlisle? Could you keep an eye on her for me?"

"Of course." He replied quickly.

"Thank you very much." I said and gave him a hug as well.

'Edward, take care of her.' Carlisle ordered.

"That's not going to be a problem." Edward replied.

"Yah because I can take care of my self." I mumbled with a cocky smile as I pulled away from Carlisle.

He chuckled and I turned to Edward and tilted my head towards Jonas signaling it was time to go. Edward nodded and we all ran our the back door and followed Jonas in a southern direction.

'We'll be stopping in LA to take a jet to Japan, then to Egypt, then straight to Voltura' Jonas informed us.

Most of the time we all remained silent with no thoughts in our heads, which was a relief.
