-GASP- A review! THANK YOU!
Hm … for Timmy, I have a few ideas as to how I'm going to be writing his story. Do you think I should put it in later, as a private conversation? Or should I try and make his story a separate story, maybe 2 or 3 chapters long? Or a surprise guest?
Everyone, please vote in the poll! A writer can't make a story without input about how it's going.
This chapter will mostly be explaining about Lexy. Raven and Erin are skipping lunch, as Lexy wanted, so the story of Lexy's vampire life will get tweaked a few times during my whole story, as everyone meets everyone else.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Twilight. If I did, I wouldn't be here. I do however own Lexy, Erin, Raven, Pyroth, Timmy, their pasts, and yet-to-be-introduced powers.
R & R !
Timmy POV
"Wait, 4,000 years ago?" gaped Emmett.
"Yes, 4,000 years ago." Lexy said, slightly exasperated. "Now can I continue my story? I'd appreciate it if no one interrupted me. I'll try and squeeze it into the 20 minutes we have left of lunch."
"Ok, like I said, it all began 4,000 years ago during the time of the Greeks. My name was Alexandria, and I was 17 years old. Not like I'm bragging or anything, but every man in our village was after my hand in marriage. There was hardly a minute that I was left alone! I guess that's what drove me to do what I did.
"I ran away. The spotlight was never was I wanted to be, and every man wanting me put me right there. So I snuck out one night and ran away. That was probably the stupidest mistake I ever did. The safest place, or so I thought, was the forest, so I ran straight there. Running soon became tiresome, so I settled for walking as soon as the noises of my town disappeared behind me. That's when I came upon him.
"I had never heard of anything like this in our stories. He was a marble-white figure, kneeling on the ground in a small ring of trees, with his forehead and hands pressed against a big tree. The pose seemed sad, so rather than follow my instincts that were telling me to run, I slowly walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder. That was another big mistake.
"He was so cold! But how could he be a statue? He shifted out from under my hand.
'What are you doing here? Why haven't you run away?' he said. I could almost here venom in his voice, and it scared me.
'You seem sad. I thought that maybe you would like some comfort. Is there anything I can do to help?' I was so enchanted by him, that I had pushed my instincts to the very back of my mind.
'Anything? Well, I suppose there is one thing,' he started, slowly turning his head towards me. 'You see, I am quite lonely now. Company would be greatly appreciated.' And that's when I saw his eyes! They were blood red, freezing me in place. I imagine I must have looked like a doe caught in headlights.
"He bared his teeth at me, me still too scared to move a muscle, and leapt. Searing pain laced through my neck, but he put a hand over my mouth so I could not cry out. We stayed that way a minute, before he dropped me. Fire was starting to creep into all parts of my body, slowly burning me. I vaguely remember him picking me up and carrying me away. And of course, 3 days later, I was a vampire."
She paused here, and I studied her face. There was no fear there. Only a slightly calculating expression as she glanced at our reactions. It almost seemed like she was deciding how much to tell us. I glanced at the clock to see how much time we had left before our next classes. Only 10 minutes! I guess Alice and Edward repeatedly interrupting to ask questions really took up some time. (A/N: I left out the questions; that would be just too much to write, and they weren't important.)
"After he changed me, he explained what a vampire was. He had been travelling alone now for about a century, mourning his lost partner. Once I got over the fact that I was no longer human, or alive, I tried being the best vampire I could. Feasting on human blood didn't appeal to me all that much, not after I had known so many people and didn't want to kill them, so I practiced a new way of eating. Plants."
"What? How is that possible?" I could see everyone else was giving her the same expression as I was. She had to be joking. Vampires needed blood to survive, to be strong. But her eyes ... for the first time, I noticed what color they were. A bright green.
"It's very possible! Vampires don't necessarily need blood to survive, not if you can grow accustomed to another source of energy. Think about it! Plants are alive, are they not?" Slowly we nodded. "If plants are alive, that means that they have to have an energy source, something to the equivalent of blood for animals. I eat all fresh plants, fruits, and vegetables, before there is a chance for the life force to die after they're picked. Carrots grow, babies grow, leaves grow, they all have a life force. Vampires need that energy, that place where that things life force comes from. Plants are a very healthy way of lifestyle - real vegetarian.
"Anyways, back to my story. My creator thought that I was a lunatic, to put it nicely, for rejecting humans and animals. But he was too lonely to leave me. We travelled together for a long time, trying to figure out the best way to live so that we didn't attract attention. Not many people were used to seeing such pale figures wandering about. But after a while, we both grew lonely. And we made a bet." She winced as she said this. "The bet was over our way of lifestyles. He thought that more vampires would choose to go with their natural instincts, while I insisted that they wouldn't want to be monsters.
"That was another big mistake. We created three vampires to test this theory. Aro, Marcus, and Caius. Yes, I admit it, we created what are now known as the Volturi. They were not intended to try and take over. Needless to say though, I lost the bet. I went off on my own for a while, while my creator taught those three how to be a 'proper' vampire.
"But that wasn't enough. My creator now wanted more vampires to control. He made too many to go unnoticed. That's when Aro, Marcus, and Caius decided to step up and name themselves the Volturi. If a vampire got too out of line, then they would take care of them. At first, my creator was all for the idea of controlling every vampire. But the Volturi decided that they didn't want him. So he was killed.
"The thirst for power didn't stop there, as the Volturi began making armies of vampires. Believe me, I tried to stop them. I was almost destroyed for it, but they spared me since I was the one who had created them. After that embarassing defeat, I did the only reasonable thing I could think to do. I went into hiding."
I couldn't believe it. This girl was the cause of all of us? Jasper was tense beside me, staring at Rosalie. Rosalie was glaring daggers at Lexy.
"Do you mean to say that you're the reason that vampires exist?" snarled Rosalie.
"Since my creator was destroyed and I technically created the Volturi, then yes, that's exactly what I'm saying," Lexy defiantly said back. I had to admit she had courage.
Rosalie shoved back from the table, cracking the top slightly, and stalked out. Emmett, ,with a last glance at Lexy, followed after her to make sure she was okay.
"I'm sorry if you don't like this way of lifestyle, and I'm sorry that it's inadvertently my fault. This is the reason that I was surprised to see you here earlier, since most vampires are so hostile towards me for all of this." Lexy apologized.
"Wait, but who was your creator?" Edward asked, staring at Lexy warily.
"My creator was named Pyroth." Lexy answered hesitantly, but boldy said the next part. "Pyroth was born a vampire because of mutation from his mother that she received after a contaminated food source she ate from. Pyroth was the first vampire."
Please review it! I want to know what you all think of Lexy and her history (: Remember, R & R !
