Chapter 4: Denali

In hind sight I knew I probably shouldn't have gone with two strange guys in a car, with me being a danger magnet and all, but in my gut I knew that this was the only chance I would have of finding what I was looking for. There was two things that could happen. If they were honest, they would take me to whom I was looking for. If they weren't they would end up kill me. Either way my life would end, one way or another.

We drove for about a half hour to a small house just out side the small town we were in. It only took two minutes once we got there for two women to come out of the house. They were beautiful, graceful and they were just who I was looking for. I got slightly nervous as I saw them glide towards us. The one closest to me had golden blond hair and her eyes were the same golden color as the Cullens. The one just behind her had strawberry blond hair with the same color eyes. The blond looked angry and her sister looked confused.

"Aren't we enough?" the strawberry blond teased as she looking at the guys.

"What's she for?" the blond asked almost snarling towards me. Her golden eyes stared piercingly in to mine. I wasn't scared or taken aback by her actions I had received worse glares from Rosalie, all the time. I guessed that my apparent calmness really pissed her off because her next words to me were laced with as much venom as she could muster. "Who are you?" she snapped and me. Then Peter (the guy who had approached me in the diner) stepped forward.

"Sorry Irina she was looking for you two and since we were on our way to see you and Tanya, I thought we could bring her." Irina walked up to me, faster then normal, for a human that is. The two men gawked at her movement towards me. I stood strong and unaffected by it which made her angrier. Her sister, I know assumed was Tanya, was cautious. Even her words were more cautious.

"Who are you and what do you want?" she had a slight offensive growl in her word. Irina crouched a little and growled at me. The men were taken aback by the situation. I, on the other had fully expected it, kind of anyways.

"Irina, relax I'll take care of this" Tanya said in a low voice I wasn't meant to hear but being around the Cullens had me more aware to these things. She walked to me then told her sister "Take the guys to the house I'll handle her." She looked at me as the others left in to the house. "So?" She said then waited for a response from me .

"Sorry," I said to her softly be for continuing. "I didn't mean to cause trouble for you and your sister."

"How do you know us? How were you not frightened by Irina's actions?"

"I don't know you per-say but I've heard a bit about you. My... my ex…" I paused a moment just thinking the words. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I opened them before talking again "My x-boyfriend mentioned you and your family once. I came to see if you can help me with something."

"I still don't understand. I'm not sure what you think I, we can help you with." she gestured to her self then the house where her sister had just left to.

"Well there's one of two things you can help me with." I started to lose my nerve. I started to think I couldn't do this. Tanya gave me a quizzical look, I tried to say something but couldn't.

"Well go ahead what is it?" she said getting impatient with me. I took another deep breath.

"Either turn me in to a vampire or tell me where I can find the Cullens." I said faster then I had intended but with conviction. Tanya was obviously very surprised by my request.

"How… How do you know what we are, what they are?"

"My name is Isabella Swan. I live in Forks, Washington. Edward Cullen is the ex Boyfriend I spoke of. Alice Cullen is my best friend or at least she was before they left Forks." My heart pounded faster with every word I said. My heart tore open when I said their names. Yet my voice never falter. It didn't show my weakness. It was strong and determined and I felt a little proud that I was able to say it with out breaking down in to tears.

"Well that's something. I can see know why Edward never accepted any of my advances. Why he stayed clear of me. He has a thing for human girls, not that I can blame him." She looked towards the house where two human males were waiting for her. "But I am afraid I don't know were the Cullens are at the moment."

"Then turn me in to a vampire." I said with as much conviction as I could muster.

"I'm not sure I can do that. You see we have never turned any one before. We, my family and I, came together along time ago already changed. The only one I know who has ever turned any one is Carlisle and if they didn't turn you when they had a chance then I'm not sure if I should. They must have had their reasons for keeping you human." She looked at me tilting her head In thought. "This isn't for Edward is it? I mean I've known him along time he is very stubborn, I don't think changing would change his mind." My heart pounded, was I doing this for him, for me or both. Could I live for ever with out him if he still didn't want me? Would he want me if I was a vampire? If I didn't try I wouldn't know would I. I could still have the Denali as a friend and the rest of the Cullens if they wanted. I decided I was doing this I didn't care for whom. I need to take a chance and take control of my own life, my own existence.

"It's not for him. I know he doesn't care about me and I'm not diluted enough to believe he ever cared or ever will. I am doing this for me and only me it's something I thought about, a lot." I said with as much confidence and determination in my voice and words that I almost had myself convinced that I meant it. She looked at me for a second before she spoke.

"I'll have to talk to my family and see what they say. Maybe we can contact Carlisle." And that was that, she said no more. I told her where I was staying so she could find me once they had made their decision either way. Tanya then called me a cab and sent me back to my hotel to wait.
