So things got heated between Lyn and Emmett; can they come to an accord?
Chapter 3
Carlisle took a seat on the other side of Esme and looked around the room; I bet he was waiting for another fight to break out. "When you are supposed to be at the bus station?" I heard Esme ask. I didn't turn to look since I was still angry at Emmett.
"Um, tomorrow afternoon." Keili answered unsurely. "But since I locked Cris's keys in her car…" her voice trailed off and I felt something fall into my lap. Looking down I found a set of keys. I looked up and over at Rose; she nodded her head at me and then looked over at my friend.
I began to get out of my mood and held onto the keys tightly. "Actually, as much as I would love to torture you by making you break your way into my car… it seems like that action is null in void." I spoke as I held up the keys. Keili's eyes were wide as I continued. "Seems like my sister-in-law did that for you." She nodded her head and then took a sip out of the coffee cup she was holding.
I got to my feet and dusted my pants off. "Come on. Let's get your bags out of the car and I'll show you where you'll be sleeping tonight." She absent-mindedly nodded her head and got to her feet, setting her cup down on the coffee table and excusing herself. We both walked outside and to the car. I hit the button on the keychain that had a picture of an open trunk on it and the trunk popped open.
Keili grabbed one bag as I grabbed the other. "I'm sorry about your stepdad, Cris." I looked at my best friend and saw the sad smile she was giving me. I shook my head and told her to forget about it, that it was in the past. Which is ironic because part of the past is coming back to bite you on the ass; literally. I shook my head, dismissing those thoughts, as we made our way back inside.
Hushed voices from the living room told me that they were all talking about something quite important. "This way." I said, showing her to the staircase. She followed me and we went upstairs and entered my bedroom. She gasped at all of the open space of the room.
"This room is huge, Cris!" she spoke, walking to the bed and dropping the bag she was carrying.
I laughed at her expression, "Yeah. It's pretty huge. But this is nothing compared to the closet." She looked at me disbelievingly. I dropped the bag that I was carrying and went over to the closet door, opening it. I flicked the light on inside the spacious closet and motioned for her to follow. She entered the closet and I shut the door behind her.
"Oh… my… god!" she gasped out, looking around at all the clothes. She spun around, looking at everything and taking it all in. "This is your closet?" she asked; I nodded my head and she spun around again.
I walked by the green Chanel dress that I'd only worn once and smiled; the first day that I'd stayed here was the first and only time that I'd worn it. After me and dad had argued, I hadn't worn the dress ever again. I knew that Alice wanted me to continue to explore the wonders of this room, but I'd never done so. With all the hassle of trying to keep myself alive and college, I hadn't gone through the closet. Against my liking, a picture of the mysterious nomad's face flashed through my mind; his glowing red eyes and the way his face turned into a creepy smile—
"Cris!" Keili's frantic voice broke me out of my reverie. I turned my head to the right and found her looking at me. The door to the closet opened and Bella and Edward came inside. "Are you okay!?"
Bella came over to my side and looked at me. It was now that I realized I was lying across the floor of the closet. Edward looked at me and then at Keili, "What happened?"
My best friend sat to the other side of me, her face wore an expression of worry and concern. "I don't know." She said looking to him. "I turned to ask her a question and she had this far off look on her face. Then a minute later… bam! She was out cold on the floor." I brought a hand to my head and it throbbed, making me wince. It was like Keili was reading my mind or something, "It's like she wasn't even in her body! I thought she'd at least say 'ow' when she smacked her head against this stand."
Bella helped me to my feet and I stumbled forward. Edward outstretched his arm and caught me before I could fall down. I saw Keili look at Bella worriedly, and I heard my sister reassuring her that everything would be okay. A couple minutes later all I saw was the back of my eyelids.
'Cristalyn…'
I squinted my eyes, looking around. The room was filled with such a bright light I could barely make anything. A couple minutes later the light faded and the room became dimmer. I looked around the room; it looked like the first house we'd ever lived while mom and dad were still married.
'Cristalyn…' I turned my head, looking for the person calling my name. When I turned my head I found nothing there. The hair on the back of my neck began to stand up and I turned around quickly. There standing in front of me was Lindsay, along with my grandfather on my mother's side!
I let out a squeak of surprise and I heard my grandfather chuckle and Lindsay let out one of her harmonious laughs. "Grandpa? Linds?" they both smiled at me. "What… what are you two doing in my dreams?"
The smile disappeared off of both their faces. "Cristalyn, this is no dream." My grandfather spoke. I looked to my friend and she shook her head sadly. "There is someone out to get you. Someone who brings death with them." He explained.
"The… man who came after me last year?" I asked, letting out a shaky breath. Even though she was dead, for some odd reason I didn't want Lindsay to know what kind of creatures existed in our world.
Lindsay looked at me as if she understood. "Lyn, that nomad… he's after much more than your life." My mouth dropped open; she knew!? "Of course I know about the vampires and shape-shifters. I was part Indian myself, just not from around here. My people have their own stories, but everything about the Cold Ones are the same. Well, with a couple differences."
"But what does this have to do with me?" I asked, looking from her to my grandfather. "What makes me so special? Why does this nomad want me so bad!?" tears began to run down my cheeks.
My grandfather and Lindsay moved to stand in front of me. "You've come across vampires with special gifts… have you not, dear?" I looked up at him and thought of Alice, Jasper, Edward, Bella, and Renesemee; I nodded my head. "There are a group of vampires who like to collect people with special gifts; even if they're not vampires."
I was beginning to grow angry with their cryptic messages. "So what? What does that have to do with me!?" I cried. A mirror that was hanging on one of the walls shattered into a million tiny pieces and I looked at them. My eyes grew wide and I felt afraid; I was afraid of myself and what would happen if I was around others.
"You see now, Cristalyn?" my grandfather questioned, pulling me out of my internal war. He touched a hand to my cheek. "You harbor a gift that is dangerous." His body began to fade into an outline.
I shot my hand up to my cheek, silently begging him to stay. "Don't go!"
"Don't worry, Lyn. We're all here for you." Lindsay spoke, drawing my attention. "Learn to control your emotions and you'll be fine."
I looked at her. "But what if I can't?" I asked in honesty. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up into her blue eyes.
"I have faith in you, Lyn. All of us do." She spoke. Her body began to fade just as my grandfather's had done. "I miss you, girlie." Then, just like that, she was gone. A moment later the blinding light returned.
My eyes shot open and light bombarded my sight. I shut my eyes and then opened and closed them a couple more times. After the lightness and darkness evened out, I saw correctly again. Bella was sitting on the edge of my bed with the rest of the family behind her; the only person I didn't spot was Keili.
"Are you okay?" Bella asked me. I carefully sat up and looked around the room; her bags were gone and I was beginning to get worried.
I looked over at Carlisle who was looking at me with concern in his eyes. "Where's Keili at?" I asked.
Riley came and sat down next to me. "She's already home, Lyn." I looked at him confused; she wasn't supposed to leave until tomorrow afternoon.
Alice looked at me from where she was standing near Edward and Jasper. "Lyn, you haven't been conscious for three days."
So what does all of this information mean for Lyn? Watch for the next chapter. Hope you enjoyed! Reviews are welcome!
