Chapter Three

-June 2006-

I walked into the house after my lone hunt. Tim and Kat were both too distracted by other things to go with me that time, so I went alone, which was sometimes best because I was able have any of the humans I wanted, instead of threatening Kat or Tim if they wanted the same ones.

Tonight I went farther than I had gone with either of them. All the way up to Idaho. Not the most ideal place for hunting, but the houses there were few and far between, so I was able to have an entire family and get out without anyone noticing.

"I'm back!" I shouted as I went upstairs to my room.

Usually, a vampire has the most exceptional hearing imaginable. But a trait that was carried over from my human life was my ability to be silent while moving. So when Tim changed me all those years ago, it made me even more quiet, to where even vampires cant hear when I move around. Which then makes it impossible for humans to hear me approaching.

I went into my room and shut the door. I fell onto my bed and then noticed a few last drops of blood from the last human I had, I think it was the teenage son of the last family, on my arm. Wanting to savor the taste even more, I just licked it from my hand and remembered how he tasted. He was the best I've had in a long time. Lately, I've only had average blood. This kid was different. It was almost like when I had my first human, the taste was the best thing ever to touch my lips.

I grabbed my headphones and iPod from the nightstand and pushed the headphones into my ears and scrolled to my childhood playlist, humans would call it the 'Oldies'. I called it 'The best music ever created'.

I began to relive the hunt in my head, as the sounds of the Everly Brothers filled my ears. I had to have been really into my reliving, because I started to hear Tim and Kat downstairs talking with someone. In the middle of the Andrew Sisters chorus of 'Oh Johnny', I turned off the music and pulled the buds out of my ears to listen better.

"JoAnna was the one who informed us of your destructive behavior." A young female voice explained. I had heard that voice before… I just couldn't put a name or face to it.

"JoAnna?" Tim questioned. "She left us almost 50years ago. How could she know what we have or haven't done?"

JoAnna Merick. Tim's mate when he turned me. Not long after I was changed, he became more interested in me than her. It impressed him with how little I had to do to get the humans to come to me. All I needed to do was smile sweetly and bat my eyes and they were mine. If they got on edge about my red eyes, I would just explain that they were contacts and that would keep them from running. In reality, our red eyes were from the human blood that we consume. They are black when we are thirsty, then go to red after we have quenched our thirst.

JoAnna had finally gotten fed up with Tim ignoring her in favor of me, so she left, only saying that he would regret the day he changed me and stormed off. We haven't seen or heard from her since then, which really didn't bother either of us. He was over her when I came along, and I had only been with her a couple months when she left.

"She claims that she has been keeping watch on you as you move from place to place, leaving some very curious humans in your wake." A male voice responded.

"Oh that is complete bullshit Caius. I would have sensed her if she were anywhere within 20miles of us." Kat fired. That was Kat's gift, she was able to sense if there were other vampires in our vicinity for up to 20miles.

Caius… The Volturi! Caius and Jane… it is never good when those two show up.

"Well that is just it Katherine. She claims that she was able to stay beneath your radar so you would not be aware of her presence." Jane explained.

"You keep saying 'she claims'. Meaning that she has not shown you any solid proof of these allegations." Tim nearly shouted.

"Oh but she did provide proof Timothy." Caius answered.

"We are very sorry for this…" Jane said quietly. Didn't sound like she was sorry one bit.

Then Tim and Kat screamed in agony, accompanied by crunching and snapping.

They were destroyed.

I had to act quickly. I wasn't sure if Caius and Jane knew about me, but I wasn't going to stay to find out.

I left everything behind except my purse, which had the coven's collection of cash and credit cards and my phone and jumped out of my bedroom window and bolted. Knowing that they wouldn't be able to hear me, I left no trace for them to follow.

Running north, in 20minutes, I was already outside of Logan, UT.

Now to find somewhere to go.

Thank God it was passed sundown…

I dont know why I am still writing this. I love the idea, just dont know how to write it all out. I know it is really slow right now, it will pick up after the next chapter or two.
I want to thank my single reviewer, Emberseve, who apparently loves this story so much that she made it a fave for her and me a fave author. I'll return the favor soon Hun and start reading your Twilight stories too! :D
