(a/n: This is the rest of chapter one. It encompasses only the 2 weeks of winter break on Annie's private island in Hawaii, which is named Isle Ohana. As usual, the characters from Twilight belong to Stephenie Meyer and the ones from Big Time Rush belong to Nickelodeon. Enjoy)
Chapter 1: Back to School, Part 2
December, 2006, Ohana Isle, Hawaii
"Annie, are you coming?" Bella asked.
"Yes, just one moment. I have to finish making the fruit salad," I replied. I knew that right now was NOT the time to tell her about my telepathy. "Bella, could you grab Kendall and get him to bring that cooler over here please?"
"Sure." Bella and I were in the very spacious kitchen on Isle Ohana, which is actually named (when you translate it), Family Isle. I had bought it years ago, right after World War 2. I hated that war. (a/n will explain what she went through in that war later. Let's just say that Hitler had a obsession with her.)
Annie, did you HAVE to ask your future sister to get me?
Yup, it would seem weird to Phil and Renee if I did not, because you are not in the kitchen. Just get the cooler over here so I can finish loading up the salad. BTW, is Tua coming later this afternoon with some of the pineapple? I think that our guests would really like that it is ripened on the plant.
Yes, he is. Basically, they want to meet me apparently; along with meeting Bella and the others, of course. Rini said that they were on their way.
"Bella, we are expecting some of the islanders later today," I told Bella, Renee, and Phil.
"People live here?" Renee asked.
"Yes. On the other side of the island, there is a tribe of people that live here and have lived here for centuries. I would say millennia, but they are not sure when they arrived. Tua, the chief, and Rini, his daughter, will be here shortly. In fact, they usually keep the island clean and unpolluted. Along with harvesting pineapple, which they will be bringing some of that when they come today," I explained.
Did Annie's family allow them to stay here when they bought the island? If they did, they must be really nice. Of course, I wish that we could meet Annie's twin. Renee and Phil thought simultaneously.
"When my grandmother bought the island, she made a deal with the tribe. If they kept the beach house clean, they could stay. Of course they agreed to that. They have actually done more for the family than people think. I try to help them if they need it, but most of the time they don't need anything but a place to live," I told them. Tua are you close?
That I am, my queen, Tua replied. My people wish to meet our future king and the future duchess. We also heard about the pineapple situation.
Good, just come to the door like you usually do.
As you wish, majesty, Tua acquiesced.
"Is that Tua?" Kendall asked. The other Rushers were thinking in similar lines.
"Yup. Come in Tua," I call out. Tua and Rini entered.
"For your table, Annie," Rini explained, "I wish to formally invite all of you to a luau that is taking place tonight in your honor."
"We accept."
What's with the formal speech, Bella thought¸ it's not like she is their queen. Or, is she?
Bella is just this side of figuring out that I am a queen. I need to get her alone so I can explain everything, don't I, Logan?
That would be ideal, Annie. But that might not be practical. If I may suggest that we take them to the waterfall and tell her there about our kind.
That is an excellent suggestion Logan. "We will be at the fire pit an hour before sundown, Tua. Rini, would the children be interested in meeting us at the waterfall tomorrow?"
"Of course, that is their favorite place on the island, after all," Rini replied.
January, 2007, Forks, Washington
This past week was spent getting over certain formalities. Bella had learned of the existence of magic and that if she had ever met one of my people, it was because I wanted to keep an eye on her. She was now a resident of Forks and would be attending Forks High come Monday. I hoped with all my heart that Edward would not overreact to her scent, but (as I knew) it was a futile hope. I worried that her shield would be a roadblock in her relationship with Edward. "Baby," Kendall soothingly called, "you need to stop worrying about this. You know that, in the end, everything works out well." Kendall and I were in our queen-sized bed on our floor.
I know that. I just am really nervous about their first meeting. I explained why. Kendall just allowed me to somewhat rant out my nerves, while he held me in his arms. It just made me happy when we were like this. Alone, with each other, listening to music or rambling about anything and everything.
I was still worried about how Kendall would take the news about what happened to me from 1939 to 1945. Yeah, it was a big ordeal; but, I was mostly over it. Carlisle was very helpful when I needed to talk about it. I would have to talk to Jasper and twin to see how I should approach the subject with the others. I was not looking forward to it.
(a/n: Next chapter is a flashback to 1939, when Annie was kidnapped. The chapter will be very dark and mature. As usual, the Twilight characters belong to Stephenie Meyer and the Big Time Rush characters belong to Nickelodeon. Until next time.)
