Luna POV
I was so excited to get to see my sister again. Maybe she would be able to help me understand my dream about that man. I had it again last night but it was a little different. In this dream everything was the same but I noticed his eyes were red. I didn't notice them during my nap but this definitely meant that he was a vampire.
I have been attacked by vampires, or leeches as I refer to them as, for as long as I can remember. I have watched all of my family except Charlie either be turned or killed by vampires, and I never leave their attacks unscathed. It's like they are trying to torture me slowly and believe me it works, I have bite marks all over my body, and scars from where I had bones jutting out of my skin. The past 6 months I haven't noticed any leech activity which is odd. So maybe it's a sign that something big is coming. I suppose I'll have to ask Bells when I see her later.
I make sure that I bring Esme's birthday present. I know that they usually don't celebrate birthdays but it just seems strange that I wouldn't get her a present. I got her a French cookbook because I know how much she loves to cook for Nessie and me. After I finish wrapping her gift and signing the card I stuff them in my backpack and hop into the cruiser with dad, I always try to convince dad that he should just put on the lights so we can cut through all the red lights but it never seems to work.
We pulled into the driveway about an hour later and were immediately greeted by Emmet and Jasper who were sparring outside. Emmet threw me over his shoulder and proceeded to spin like the tilt-a-whirl making me super dizzy. I stumble over to Jasper who is laughing like a little girl. I wave goodbye to Charlie as he pulls out of the driveway. I didn't have any bags since I had a whole different set of Clothes over here. The three of us walked in the door and Emmet called out "Honey I'm home!" I gave him a playful punch on the arm, that was pretty much our way of communicating; well that and sarcastic snarky remarks.
Esme came to see me and I wished her a happy birthday and dug inside my backpack for her gift. "Let's go open this in the living room with the others." She suggested. As we entered the living room I was stopped dead in my tracks. It was him, the guy from my dream! Now this is weird. Carlisle must've thought that I was scared since I had such bad experiences with red eyes before "Don't worry Lu he's a friend of mine, this is Alistair. Alistair this is Luna, Bella's little sister."
I smiled and waved trying not to gawk but it was hard not to. I kept glancing over at him, he was pretty cute I'm not going to lie but I still needed an explanation for what was happening. He seemed to be rather shocked to I felt him glancing over at me often. I don't blame him though with my white hair it can sort of draw attention.
We all chatted for a bit until I decided I had had enough social interaction for one day so I went up to my room to read poetry and listen to Mozart until dinner time. Esme made a traditional French meal from the new cookbook I had gotten her. The veal was so tender I had like 3 servings but it was hard to stop. Alistair was still staring at me but it wasn't as confused as it had been before, he seemed more infatuated with me and my every move, it was sort of romantic if I'm being honest. I told everyone I was tired and went to my room and I fell asleep thinking about him.
Alistair POV
When dawn broke I jumped out the attic and went hunting I was hungry and didn't want to risk anything especially with little Nessie and Bella's sister coming today. As much as I hated meeting new people I was excited to meet some of Bella's family. Carlisle had told me earlier that she had been attacked by vampires for ten years. She was a very skilled fighter and the Volturi wanted her bad. They are planning on coming for her soon but she doesn't know. The reason she is coming is so Bella can keep her under her shield so Demetri won't be able to find her though I'm certain this is the first place they will check. I hope everything will work out in the end.
When I got home Emmet and Jasper invited me to spar with them, "I think I'll pass this time boys." I replied chuckling as Emmet yanked Jasper's curls. "Suit yourself." Emmet called back as I walked inside. "Alistair," Carlisle called "It's nice to see you in good spirits my friend." He said patting my back as I walked by. I managed to grin a little in response. That's when I felt it. She was here. I went with Carlisle, who also noticed her presence, to the living room where the rest of the family was.
When she walked into the house it was like a breath of fresh air, the smell of fine wine slowly made its way to my nose. I inhaled deep "God why does she have to be so perfect" I thought to myself. Then she floated in to the room like some inhuman human. Her white hair was in a messy bun that left two strands of snow white hair framing her flawless face. Her eyes were an emerald green that pierced through the dark eye makeup she had on. She stopped dead in her tracks and stared at me. Did I wake her up in the forest, did she see me. "Don't worry Lu," he said "He's a friend of mine, this is Alistair. Alistair this is Luna." After Carlisle had finished the introductions Esme sat down and opened the gift that Luna had brought her, a French cookbook, how thoughtful.
Luna told everyone that she was going upstairs to read some poetry, what an old soul. I remember Carlisle had shown me a few of her paintings and I could tell immediately she was an old soul. She didn't speak a lot so I presume she is rather shy and antisocial, like me. It's glad to know I'm not the only one here. I need to talk to her but she always disappears to somewhere as soon as I get the courage. I think she may have noticed how interested I was in her, I hope she didn't think it was odd.
