I own Twilight… In my imagination
Something was wrong. Scratch that, something was very wrong. It was eight against one, nine if you counted Ness, which no one did. Eight against one and this guy wasn't heading for the hills? I let out another warning growl as did Emmett and Jazz. Then the stranger did the craziest thing I'd ever seen. He smirked. I was shocked, disgusted, I mean who did this guy think he was. Just as I was about to let my body uncoil and end this stranger's life, Carlisle was standing beside him.
"We will have none of this," He stated simply.
"But Carlisle-" Edward interrupted.
"But nothing, why don't you all come into the house and we can talk." With that he walked inside without another word.
The stranger smirked again and sauntered back into the house with Carlisle. I realized that I was still in my crouching stance and instantly straightened, following the rest of the group into the house. We all gathered around the dining room table and took our usual spots, with Jake standing behind Nessie. I always sat right between Rose and Alice; I had taken Edward's place as the awkward single one. The stranger nodded to Carlisle and stood at the head of the table, assessing each one of us with his cherry colored eyes.
He took a deep breath and then spoke, "My name is Jason, and I am a former member of the Volturi guard."
This caused several hisses to be let loose and even a menacing growl from none other than kind, even-tempered Bella. I had heard many stories about the Volturi once I entered this family. In fact it was the first thing I was educated on when I had the thirst under control. The way they had been described; they were cruel, cold, calculating, and utterly powerful.
Jason looked around the room once more and continued, "I was recently "created" because Aro saw potential in me as a human."
I instantly started scanning his mind, looking for clues as to what he could be referring to and was shocked at what I found. Jason had the power of telekinesis, and he was damn powerful. I instantly began to tap into his abilities, and felt it flood through my veins. It felt good and yet, horribly wrong. If he had this much power, who knew what he was capable of? I instantly felt a wave of calm rush over me and, for the first time, I was grateful for Jasper's control of my emotions. I flashed him a small smile and turned my attention back to Jason.
"After I was turned, I resided with the Volturi for almost a year. But, something was always… wrong. I didn't trust them, didn't feel at home. They talked about you a lot. Let's just say," he stopped and smiled before continuing, "they clearly don't like you all very much. Anyways, I became fascinated with you all and your lifestyle. So, I decided I would come out here, and, well, check it out," he paused before continuing, "So, here I am. I just want you all to accept me."
We all paused, taking his words in. Then Carlisle spoke,
"Well, I don't see why we can't let him join the family."
"Because it's utterly ridiculous" Edward interjected.
"Seriously Carlisle, you cant be so crazy as to let him in" Emmett agreed.
"Now hold on kids, Carlisle is right, we need to be accepting of him and his situation" Esme interjected.
"I'm not letting that freak near Ness" Jake interrupted.
Things went on like this for a while longer, with people interjecting their various thoughts and objections until I reached my boiling point.
"Enough!" That gained everyone's attention. "Carlisle you said it yourself, the Volturi are not to be trusted. HE is not to be trusted. Now are you suggesting that we allow him into our home? No, even I know that would be the most idiotic thing we could do. So, I suggest we get rid of him and move on with our lives" I sat down in a huff and stared expectantly at the group.
"They know about you" Jason stated without looking up.
"What" I questioned.
"They know about you. Who you are. What you can do. They don't like it, and they're gonna come after you. I'm your only chance kid."
I sat and pondered this for a little while. The Volturi, the most powerful vampires in the world were coming after me.
Oh shit.
After the uproar that followed the news, things got unusually crazy around the Cullen house. Jacob walked Nessie back to her house, while the rest of us discussed what would happen in the months to come.
"We should call in reinforcements, like we did with Ness" Bella suggested.
"And this time we wont let them escape" Emmett interrupted.
"No, we've asked too much of them already" Jasper stated.
"The point is that we will keep her safe" Esme added.
"Enough! You all are the most neurotic vampires I have ever seen. They wont go for her for months, maybe a year. They know I'm here and they know that you all will kick their asses. They'll pace themselves, they're not stupid."
"He's right, we shouldn't make any hasty decisions. Why don't we all "sleep" on it? We can reconvene in the morning" Carlisle finished off the conversation, than disappeared into his office.
Slowly but surely everyone else dispersed to his or her respective places. Bella and Edward headed to their cottage, Alice and Jasper went off to go on a small hunting trip, and Rose and Em disappeared up to their room leaving me, Jason, and Jake standing in the dining room.
"Well", Jason began, "This isn't awkward at all. I guess I'll head up to bed."
Before he could take a step towards the stairs, I was there, blocking him.
"You're not going anywhere," I growled.
"Woah, woah, woah, kid. All right, I can take a hint. I'll sleep outside."
I scanned his mind to make sure he wasn't lying; thank god Edward was close enough that I could use his power.
Jesus Christ, someone's bitter. Wonder what the hell her problem is. Though I guess she is sorta cute.
Okay I did not need to hear that, I quickly got out of his way and to the opposite side of the room. Jason disappeared out the back door, leaving Jake and me.
"Hey Kate, lets take a walk."
I nodded my head, headed for the door and immediately took off running, knowing where we were going. Anytime a new vampire came within 100 miles of Forks and planned on staying, the wolf pack had to be notified. I had gone before them about 3 months ago, once the thirst was under control but they'd known about my immortal existence since I was born. I don't know why Jake asked me to come but I wouldn't object. The wolves fascinated me, everything about them. I kept running until I reached the usual spot. Jake shifted back into human form and I raised an eyebrow at him.
"I think it'd be better if I was human, you should know what's going on."
That's right, Edward was to far away to feed off of him. I was going in blind. I took a deep breath and followed Jake into the clearing, awaiting the arrival of the wolves.
One by one, they all filed in. First Sam then Embry, Quil, Paul, Leah, and a bunch of others who I hadn't met yet.
"Where's Seth?" Jacob asked.
"Who's Seth?" I asked.
Jacob nodded then turned to me, "Seth Clearwater, Leah's brother. He's coming, he was over at Charlie's with Leah's mom."
Seth Clearwater. Why did that name sound so familiar?
I shook my head of the thought and turned back to Jacob who was addressing the pack.
"There is a new vampire residing at the Cullen's" Jacob paused, before continuing, "He used to belong to the Volturi."
This earned a lot of growls from the pack; apparently the Cullens weren't the only ones who despised them.
"I don't know" Jake addressed Sam.
"Don't know what?" I asked.
"He wants to know if Jason can be trusted" he paused and looked at Sam before turning to me, "He wants to know if you trust him."
I looked at Sam, we weren't exactly friends but, I respected him and he respected me. I turned towards him and answered very plainly
"No."
There were a few barks and yips coming from the wolves, until they all calmed down and appeared to turn towards a part of the forest to the right of us.
"Seth is here." Jake whispered before a huge sandy colored wolf burst through the clearing. Even in wolf form he seemed gangly and looked as if he had a big dopey smile on his face. He turned towards Jake and then seemed to notice me. His eyes went wide and he started to shift into human form.
"Kate?"
Suddenly I knew why the name Seth Clearwater was so familiar.
He was my ex-boyfriend.
Well? What'd y'all think? R&R please. I'm also really looking for ideas, so inbox me! In case y'all couldn't tell, my writing has changed a bit.
