The boarder was not far off; I could almost smell my home. I looked to my left and Emmett was keeping up with my super speed. I wanted to speed up, but I thought I should let him win.
"HA!" he yelled as the treaty line came up. "Beat you!"
"Yeah, I let you win." I breathed.
"Doubt it." he said arms crossed. "Anyway, grab your stuff and I can meet you here."
"Dude I have a car, so I will drive to your house. No problem." I chuckled.
"Okay. SHIT! Get down!" he whispered pulling me towards the tall grass. He moved above me, slightly lying on top of me. I almost couldn't breathe his strong, stone-like body was on top of my human like body. His smell invaded my nose; it was so sweet I could almost swallow his whole being.
"What's going on?" I managed to breathe.
"Wolfs." He whispered. That's when are eyes met. His golden, topaz eyes bore into mine. I have never felt like this before. I could see his soul, like a deep never-ending hole of pure delight. He seemed to like it too, he didn't move one inch. His lips started to pucker, as if he wanted to do something. I tried to moved, but he had me pinned. I wanted to kiss him so bad. That's when I heard a growl break through the silence. I froze as did Emmett. The growl grew quiet, and soft foot falls filled their place. We unfroze, but he didn't rise to let me free. I almost opened my mouth to say something, but he covered any sentence with his lips. His kissed explode my mind. I have never felt like this before. I felt into his mind and I could feel him in mine. Quil had never been able to do that. I felt him move his hands up and down my sides, looking for something that he couldn't find. His hands suddenly moved up my shirt, I wasn't going to have that. I pushed against his chest, trying to move him off. The slut wouldn't move. I lifted my knee and slowly kicked him off. He flew a little further than planned.
"What was that for?" he asked 10 feet away from the place of where we were just lying.
"You wouldn't move." I chuckled, while rising from our cute little spot. "What was that about anyway?"
"I don't know." He said a confused look crossing his face. His head did a quick 180 of the area, as if checking for wolfs, again. "Well, see you at home." He said jetting towards the house.
"You can't run forever." I whispered.
My house was close, just had to run across the tiny road and finish putting everything into their boxes and get out. Not that hard, if no one saw me. I moved swiftly across the road and made it into my small house. It seemed to quiet, like it knew that it was soon going to be empty forever. I walked towards the back door, picking up things and throwing them towards boxes hidden in the dark corners. I swung the back door whistled and waited. Soon a bushy snow white husky trotted out of the woods. After seeing me she moved into a full run.
"Aarya, my love we are moving again," I told her running my hands through her fine coat. "Now gather up your things." Aarya had been with me since I had left the Voultri, Aro had given me her as a gift for my first birthday. She had been by my side since then. She was smart, I mean really smart. She understood everything I said, able to gather things together. I watched her start to push her bowl towards the door, tip it over spilling it out in the grass, than lifting it into the box. I loved that dog. I started putting everything into boxes. Then moved the boxes out to the car, not anything out of the normal, but I felt as if someone was watching me. After about 20 minutes we were already to go. Aarya moved to her spot in the passenger seat. I looked back at the house, letting go of the greatest summer I had ever had. My heart sank at the thought, I had never been this happy.
"Emma," Quil whispered into my ear. I turned not shock that he was there. I was surprised I had not jumped. "Where are you going?"
"They found me out man," I sighed moving my purse further up my shoulder. "The state I mean, so there shipping me off to some family in Forks. I told them I could pack by myself." Is it not wondrous how well you can lie to those you love most?
"But, didn't you tell them, you could live with me?" he asked eyes getting huge.
"I mention it, but they didn't want me to live on a reservation anymore." Putting on a fake smile.
"Well, we can still see each other, right? Forks isn't that far away, I'll be driving soon and it will be like you never moved." He said wrapping his arms around me.
"That's the thing Quil," I sighed pushing away. "I thought that this move would separate us. Which would be good, I mean I'm the reason you went into the hospital, so I think we should break up." I knew my voice would break over the last words.
"No, we can make it work." He protested.
"No, we can't. I'm moving with the Cullen's. You know how people around here are about them."
"You're worried what people will think? That's not what the Emma I knew would say."
"Quil, just drop it I'm leaving." I growled trying to move into the car. His arm wrapped tightly around my forearm.
"Don't," I managed to mumble before he pulled me into a mind blowing, sweet kiss. I let him do whatever he wanted knowing that this would be the last time he would hold me like this. His tongue gently caressed my inner mouth exploring things I had never let happen before. Hot tears spilled from my tightly closed eyes. I knew he was crying too. I melted under his hold, but I could feel the underlining danger. Thethirst was still there every second, building more as I let the seconds speed by. I pushed him away, almost throwing him to the ground. "Bye." I mumbled quickly moving into the car. I put it into reverse as Quil leaned on the front hood. I pulled back faster than normal. I watched him disappear in the rear-view mirror.
I didn't know that I was crying until I reached the perfect white house. The second I was close enough to the garage they all came pouring out; Edward opened the door on my side, pulling me out slowly.
"What's with the dog?" I heard Jasper mumble to know one in particular.
"She can get out and put her stuff away all by herself." I whispered pushing Edward away from me. I moved out of the car, forcing myself not to cry anymore. They all looked at me like I might just self-combust right on their clean clothes. I laughed at the thought. The outward laughter seemed to unfreeze my new family reassuring them I was okay. I heard my car doors being opened and boxes being moved. Aarya had even gotten out of the car and was moving her things without me telling her to do so. She didn't seem afraid of these vamps, I mean she had run with the Voultri earlier in life, you had to be pretty tough to do that. In the end I didn't have to lift anything into my new home. They did it all for me. I moved quietly into my new house, marveling at the size I didn't notice before. I somehow ended up in the kitchen, Esme found me there, looking a little too happy.
"Are you hungry?" she inquired.
"Kind of, do you have any fruit, Esme?" I asked trying not to push myself.
"Why we do!" she moved through the kitchen every inch of her screamed the typical 50's mother. I wanted to laugh but I knew she enjoyed it. I wouldn't spoil her fun, she was just too sweet.
"Now Isadora, dear, I did buy a few things while you were gone. I think our food supply will last a week with you, but I'm not sure. Would you mind writing down your favorite foods so I can buy them? We have never had to buy for ourselves, just for show. It's very exciting knowing that someone will be fed here. I'm glad you found us." She mused smiling sweetly.
"I will, mom, don't worry." I smiled back at her, biting into an apple. A wide smile spread across her face at the mention of mom. I quickly scanned her mind, seeing that she never really thought I would ever call her mom. She had read my book, too, knowing of my past moms.
Aarya choose that time to make her way to the kitchen, she sniffed at Esme and lick her hands. Then she came over towards me, licked my knees and went on her marry way, exploring the house. What a good dog. The rest of the family suddenly joined us in the kitchen.
"Who's Emma?" Rosalie burst out.
"That is my Mom, my birth mom anyway. I changed my name when I moved here to throw off the Voultri; they do anything to have me back. So would you guys mind calling me Emma, instead of Isadora?"
Mumbles of yes came from all around. Edward looked very curious at the notion that one big vampire royal family was after a very small little girl.
"Anyway," Carlisle announced in a proud voice. "Your room is ready would you like to see it?"
"Yes, very much so!" I nearly squealed.
"Right this way!" Alice mused. I followed them up the stairs to the room of my wildest dreams.
The bedroom was perfect, the walls a pretty purple, with cool black swirl patterns. The bed was enormous, almost taking up the one whole side of the room. The room itself was huge, almost 4 feet bigger than my old house on the rez. All my stuff was there, including the photo albums my SD mom had made me. Posers covered the walls, a new guitar and my old boom box was plugged into the wall. The closet was only half full, I could hear Alice's mind buzzing with the thoughts of us going to Seattle tomorrow. There near the west side of my room was a wall completely made out of window, I could almost cry at the beautiful view. Near the corner were a new desk and a shiny computer.
"Do you like it?" Esme whispered fearing I was disappointed.
"I love it!" I sighed falling into her arms for a hug. I felt the whole family gather round for a group hug, so family comedy moment here, but I enjoyed it to a point. "Anyway, mind if I get settled?"
"Sure!" they all mumbled moving away quickly and leaving me to my peace.
"Isado….I mean Emma, do you mind if I talk with you?" Edward asked quietly from the door way.
"Sure, what's on your mind?" I asked flopping onto my bed. He moved closer but didn't sit near me. I patted the sear next to me and his shuck his head.
"How can you block me like that?" he asked seeming to struggle out the words.
"Well, I practiced, all the time. I mean every single day. I'm kind of surprised that I can still block you. I haven't practiced in a long time."
"Oh, I have never thought of doing that," He smiled while rising. "Do you could train me?"
"Sure why not?" I hoped up moving towards him.
"Don't you want to get settled?" he asked surprised that I agreed so quickly.
"There is no time like the present," I grinned, grabbing his hand and moving him towards my bed. I could feel his nervous energy, like he was going to burst. "Okay, now grab my hands. Ow! Dude it's alright just really cold. Anyway, alright close your eyes. Perfect, now open your mind." I closed my eyes, too, ready to escape for a few hours into someone else's mind.
As soon as my eyes closed I saw into a mind for someone who had a troubled past, some scary fears and some badass trips around the world. I finally saw something that could be the root of all things that made him seem so moody. In my mind I saw a giant ball of what looked like black mold in globe form. When I urged myself forward to touch the thing it started to drip and boil. Hmm, I moved more towards him, trying to get are minds closer. We were now hugging on my bed, I still couldn't get into this globe of darkness but it just seemed angry. I could smell a foul sent now. Then I felt my human self go for his lips. We were now kissing, like Emmett and I had done earlier. It wasn't bad, but all I saw was dark ally, smelled the scent of fresh blood, my throat burned. I could hear Carlisle voice in the back of my head telling me how much he loved me and how much he wished that I wouldn't do this. He wished I would come home and just be the son I had always been. I looked toward the ground and there at my feet was a beautiful woman, crying in pain she was bleeding freely onto the pavement. A puddle of water was near me I looked into it and saw an angel face was red eyes.
The scene changed I was sitting in my old Chemistry class taking notes, I saw myself drawing hearts on the sheet of the power point. I shivered knowing what was going to happen next. I couldn't feel my human self anymore. I was completely inside my mind.
"What's going on?" a whisper scratched at my ear. I turned slowly to see Edward right there with me.
"We are drifting through each other's memories, I think." I whispered back.
"Oh, so that's you?" he pointed towards my back.
"Yep, and something bad is going to happen. Please don't think less of me." that's when the smell of blood erupted in my memory. A sweet odor that would never get old, I had never drunk from a human, but that day was different.
"Mrs. Matson, can I go to the bathroom, my cut opened up?" A tall, brown haired boy name Bill asked our Chem. teacher. I had known Bill for most of my life in SD. I couldn't believe what I did next. Edward seemed to notice my shaking form on the desk.
"Emma, did you hurt him?" he asked. I couldn't speak as I watched myself rise from the desk and ask Mrs. Matson if I could leave. She smiled sweetly knowing that I would never do anything wrong. We followed memory me towards the boy's bathroom. I watched as she made her way in there, first turning off the lights than silencing his screams with her heavy hand. I shuddered again, knowing I had done something really bad.
The scene dissolved before I could come out of the bathroom, invisible to the naked eye, caring Bill to a deserted field laying him out and forcing myself to lay there with him until the search and rescue teams found us. Him dead, and me barely breathing, I made up a story that they believed, stupid humans. Only my adoptive parents knew the truth. About 5 months after that the vamps invaded my town, forcing me out. I opened my eyes to find us back in reality; Edward was across the room growling at someone. My head hurt but I tried to focus of the present situation.
"Just what the hell were you doing?!" a familiar voice yelled.
"Nothing that concerns you." Edward growled back.
"Don't try me Edward." Emmett huffed. Wait, Emmett was fighting with Edward. Why?
"Just what the heck are you guys fighting about?" I mumbled, holding my pounding head.
"He was raping you!" Emmett screeched at an unbearable note.
"No he wasn't, we were just practicing." I voiced finding the head pounding was going away.
"I have been trying to tell him that for the last few minutes." Edward whispered, knowing someone else was in the house now. I could hear them too. Sounded like two females. Most likely Rose and Alice, Edward nodded at my thoughts. I was going to kill him; he had gotten through my walls, which protected my every thought. Emmett nodded a pained look still upon his face.
"I want to talk about this more, outside." Emmett than snarled before walking out my door. Edward rolled his eyes, but followed him out the door. My mind started to spin, was he stuck in my mind or was he just past my outer walls? I was so confused.
"I can only hear what's going on in your mind at the moment." Edwards's thoughts entered my mind.
"Great." I thought back at him.
"Were going out." Emmett said while walking through the kitchen. Alice and Rose were putting away groceries that I was sure Esme had gone out and bought in case I didn't like anything they had. I was also surprised that it was dark outside. When I arrived it was only noon and sunny.
"Okay, bag a few bears for me." Rose smiled sweetly and kissed Emmett of the check. Alice only nodded distracted by something. We left through the back door, Edward still steaming about having to explain himself again. Emmett was mad about something else; he was doing a really good job of hiding it from me. We suddenly stopped in a field a view miles away from the house.
"So, what are we talking about here?" I asked since no one was going to talk first thought I might just get it over with.
"I was just worried that Edward was doing something to you, because you are my new sister and I got to take care of you." Emmett sighed.
"Don't you think that I was safe with Edward? I mean he has a better record than you." I snarled right back as him.
"I trust him, but I thought something was going to happen, like what happened earlier." He mumbled.
"Dude, that was your fault! Don't you think that I wanted it? you did that, don't you dare blame this on me!" I yelled. I wasn't going to let him call me a whore.
"I'm sorry, "he murmured. "It was a mistake that will never happen again." He then sped out of the clearing leaving Edward and I alone, him staring at me.
"So, this is going to be increasingly awkward for awhile right?" Edward chuckled lighting.
"You bet." I grimaced.
