CHAPTER 2

I had dark sunglasses on, gray skinny jeans, a punk rocker shirt, and black low top converses. " I know. Let's hit the road." I answered laughing.

When we got to school I gave Emmet a long kiss goodbye with some ewes coming out of Nessie's mouth and walked into Forks High School. There were senior guys that always drooled over Nessie and me and could never find the courage to ask us out. I mean Nessie and I were both seniors but these guys acted weird. I was glad I had Emmet and she was glad she had Jacob. Jacob was in every single one of Nessie's classes and so was I. Jake and I had some differences but we never showed them around Nessie. Nessie was all that mattered to us throughout the family. She was the baby. We had to protect her. Being half human and half vampire can be hard for some, you have to watch killing humans but you also have to watch being killed by vampires, not very good if you ask me.

So as Nessie, Jacob and I walked into Mr. Birdie's 1st period English class I thought of skipping today it was really starting to get sunny. So I convinced the office lady to let Jacob, Nessie and I get out of school and saw Emmet waiting for us. Nessie said she wanted to ride with Jake so I had Emmet all to my self.

"Hey babe. I was just going to pick you up and then I heard you talking to the receptionist. I missed you for the whole five minutes you were gone." Emmet laughed then leaned in to give me a passionate and long kiss.

"Emmet?" I asked.

"Yeah babe?" Emmet answered.

"Can we go somewhere by ourselves for a little bit?" I askec.

"Sure. I know just the place. But we have to be really careful that a human doesn't see us. Deal?" Emmet said.

"Deal." I answered. We pulled over to an off route trail. He put a jacket on me and a jacket on himself and I got on his back and he went to a really deep part in the forest and came to a beautiful little meadow in the middle of the thick grove of trees. Sunlight was everywhere through the meadow and I loved it. It was the only place we could truly expose ourselves as we were. I've never seen a vampire in Sunlight. I only knew we couldn't be in it around humans because they would know there was something different about us. When Emmet motioned me to come into the meadow and took off his jacket and shirt. His skin looked like a million diamonds sparkling. He motioned for me to take off my jacket and my arms did the same thing as his chest, it sparkled like a million tiny diamonds.

We looked beautiful even to vampires. I laughed at how cool this all was, Emmet caught me in a bear hug and we talked for hours in the sunlight, he asked me about my past and wondered if I remembered anything, I told him no. I had a few images in my head of a vampire that had dark hair, female, very slender and I remember her being very beautiful, and I remembered her name as, Olivia. I finally remembered she turned me. Emmet looked surprised, then he said, "I bet if you talked about your past more Alli that you could even uncover more secrets about your past. We better get back home it's starting to get dark."

"Okay." I answered. When they got back home Emmet and I went upstairs to their room to finish Dark Ops and that is when I got a flashback that caught me off guard;

FLASHBACK

The vampire Olivia stood over her saying, "It will be over soon Alli, my daughter."

I looked around past Olivia and saw a really dark room that looked as though it was a dungeon with silver chains chained to the walls and a musty smell that filled my nose. I looked down to see very thick silver chains over my arms, waist, and legs. I tried to move my head but something held my head back. I felt this unbearable pin ripping through my head like fire and my body. I screamed and screamed and tried to break free. I could hear Olivia repeating, "Shhhhhh…. My daughter it will all be over soon. You will be like me. You will finally have my last name, not your father's, Higglebottom; come on what type of name is that. Your last name will soon be Carter."

END OF FLASHBACK

"Huh" I gasped. Everyone was looking at me; Emmet was the first one to say, "Are you okay sweetie? What happened?"

"I figured out some more of my past, I found out who my mother was." I said in a whisper.
