HI EVERYONE!!! ^^ Here's the new Chapter. Hope you enjoy it. I wanted to update Thursday or Saturday, but I couldn't T-T anyway, have an AWESOME day and always be positive. =)
Blood Ties
Alice POV
The mansion was huge. When we were about to go, I asked Carlisle where we would stay. He told us that in a friend's house, the patriarch of the Swan family. I thought it wouldn't be sufficiently big to take in more than 30 vampires. But I was wrong and by a lot.
The house was impregnate with many scents: roses, sun, vanilla, chocolate, sea, earth, ice, metal, strawberries and many more. All of them were pleasant, including one, which was particularly sweet and very similar to the smell of a human, that odor that was so familiar to me. I was impatient, Edward had told us that the two girls we had an encounter with in the forest lived here, those with which we had the accident the day we picked up Bree.
While I was seated waiting, in the living room of the enormous empty house, an idea came to my mind.
- Emmett I need your power, please, give me a good dose.- I asked him with my special face "you can't deny Alice anything".
My brother raised an eyebrow, while watching Edward who looked thrilled with the idea that had occurred to me. Bree joined us with a curiosity that was sensed in the air, while jumping excited, "fuck, this girl spends too much time with me, is almost like me" I smiled before this thought, like Edward
- Alright, but don't get me into trouble, I don't want to spend another day locked up on mom's "cell of punishment".- he replied.
- What are you planning to do, Alice.- my sister asked me.
- I'm too anxious, Bree, I can't wait to know everything about them, their powers, their habits, their tastes…
- In other words, she's going to look into their future, to know a little bit more about their lives.- Edward interrupted me.
- OH! Excellent, It'll work as always then?- Asked Emmett
- Yes, while Alice has the vision, I will be telling them to you, so that you don't miss any detail.- Edward answered them.
- We should hurry up, mom and dad are talking at this moment with the chief of the Swan family, Charlie that's his name, right?- asked Bree.
- Yes, that's his name and I think the best would be to start with him.- I told them. I closed my eyes, to concentrate better and I pronounced his name.
Charlie Swan
At the moment, the images started to hit me. Charlie, like of 20 years, sitting in the bench of a park, watching the dusk, when a slight girl approached him, of ash blonde hair, the girl would have like 15 years. She was asking him for a nearby restaurant, she was new in the city and wanted to eat out of her house for that night. Charlie offered himself cordially to accompany her, upon arriving, the girl insisted that he stayed to accompany her, for all the problems that he'd taken and he accepted with a great smile in his face. Then Charlie could be seen, with the same girl, in a few dates: the cinema, the beach, the same restaurant, the same park. With the passing of time they continued frequenting each other , until he asked her to be his fiancée. Later the marriage proposal, the birth of his first daughter, and soon the rest of his children, all of them, a different experience for him. When they changed him, the nights he watched his family from a distance, when he met with his lover again, when he changed her…The events were lowering of rhythm, until they stopped completely. When I opened my eyes, I found my brothers glances, all of them were surprised, including, me.
- Weren't you visions supposed to be about the future, how is it that you were seeing the past.- asked Emmett confused
- I don't know, I don't have the slightest idea.- I answered him.
- It was all your fault Emmett.- Bree accused him- You went over the dose you gave her, she only asked you for a good dose, but you gave her more then you were supposed to. In what were you thinking?- She replied.
- In the stunning blonde of that photograph.- answered Edward, while roaring with laughter and was pointing at the picture of a girl, of our age, her hair was blonde like the sun rays and she looked a lot like Charlie's wife, which was named Reneé. The girl of the photograph was the second daughter, her name was Rosalie and she was the most beautiful women that my eyes have ever seen. Apparently, my brother Emmett thought the same.
- You tell me, he thinks that and more.- said Edward- I would thank you Em, if you stopped trying to take off her clothes, as good as she is, it's something that I don't desire to see.
- Of course, the only one you want to see is Isabella Swan, the queen of ice that you love and worship so much.- I told him.
- Could you do it, please, for me, I need to know more about her.- he begged me.
Edward POV
Alice was observing me thoroughly, analyzing all the time she would have before our parents arrived. She sighted deeply and smiled.
"Anything to make you happy, brother"
- Emmett, give me a good dose, of the strongest ones you have.- she asked him
- As you like "captain".- Emmett answered her with a huge smile, he closed his eyes, breathed deeply and Alice, with her soprano voice pronounced.
Isabella Swan
Just like it happened with Charlie, The images stroke me fast, Isabella as a little girl, playing with Rosalie, helping her mother, carrying her brothers when they were babies. Fishing with her father, in the beach with her friends, learning how to dance with her mother, watching her sister brush her Barbie's hair, watching her mom while she played the piano. Trying to hide her own suffering from her bothers after the "death" of their father. Supporting her mom in everything she could, crying at night with Rosalie. Then a little older, taking care of her brothers in the orphanage while suffering for the "death" of their mother.
Like that, the events kept passing fast, and I was so plunged in Isabella's beauty, that I had completely forgotten about telling my brothers. There were beautiful memories, but others really painful too.
Suddenly, everything changed. In this memory everything was more vivid. Isabella, was in a corner, while watching her father, already a vampire, walk from one corner to another through the whole room. It was dangerous to be in the same room with a furious vampire, without even mattering if he was your father, but she didn't seem to be scared of him. She protected her belly strongly, with her slim arms, while begging her father to calm down. Suddenly she fell and Charlie got rigid and stayed static in his place, while through the door he had in front of him entered a preoccupied Carlisle.
Charlie faced Carlisle, he growled and showed him his teeth, getting in attack position, but what surprised me the most, was to see my father adopting the same position. Isabella was dauntless in her place, her glance passed from one to the other, while her eyes opened enormously. Then it surprised me that you could be capable to hear what they said, because in Alice's visions, you could never reach to hear what they were saying, you could only see what was happening.
- Please, don't hurt each other, it's no one's fault, everything got out of control. He's not guilty.- begged Isabella.
- Do what your daughter says, listen to her Charlie, he didn't know what he was doing, he didn't even think, besides, he could have killed Bella.- Carlisle was trying to convince him.
- Because of the respect I have towards you I don't want to hurt you- hissed Charlie.- Stand aside Carlisle, I don't want to hurt you.
- Just like you want to protect me, that I'm your daughter, Carlisle wants to do the same. HE's his son Charlie, and wants to protect him. Please dad, don't make this worst than it is.
- Don't ask me that Bella, you don't know the impotence I feel of not been able to do anything. He has to pay for what he did to you and nothing's going to stop me.- Charlie growled again.
-I'm afraid my friend, that that's not going to be possible.- said Carlisle with a calmed voice, but showing his teeth.- I'm not going to let you get out of this room.
-Then we'll have to fight until death, I'm very sorry Carlisle.- restored Charlie with a neutral voice, but still growling.
-I'm sorry too, Charlie.- Carlisle answered him.
Both of them retook their attack position, and when they were willing to jump, a cry of pain tore the room. It was a scream that seemed as if they were taking your heart out, or that it broke your soul, it was a scream even worst than when they were changing you. And that voice, I would recognize it anywhere, that same cry of pain I managed to hear 9 years ago, Isabella's voice, it was the same voice of my angel.
Alice's eyes looked at me dilated because of the horror they had just saw, but also for the surprise of discovering the recent memories. It didn't give me time to react, when I felt their scents. My brothers were looking at me attentively, my face still in a state of shock and the pain that consumed me, was palpable in the air. I was the culprit of that, the always peaceful Carlisle, would want to give his life for me. But I was also to blame, of the wretched destiny that has had the life of Isabella Swan.
Bella POV
We were near the house, and I was still as crushed as when our father informed us of the visit. I couldn't believe it, I had only seen him once in my life, 9 years ago, and he kept provoking in me the same feelings of the first and only time I saw him. I knew I was wrong, that if Rosalie knew about what I was feeling she was going to kill me. I knew I had to tell my daughter what was happening, since sooner or later, everything would be clarified.
I was in my deep thoughts, when I felt that so well known sensation, that one who warned me when my power was active, that one who told me I could be in danger. Seconds after that reaction, I started to see images of my past, in the beginning, I didn't comprehend where it came from, or who was provoking it, but little by little the understanding came to me. I recovered my senses little by little, but without stopping of seeing what the other person saw.
- Dad, stop for a few seconds, I'm receiving a new one.- I asked him in a whisper.
-Tell us what it is Bella, what is it about.- he asked anxious, while Rosalie was squeezing my hand.
- What's the power of Alice Cullen, dad?- I asked again, while I kept seeing images about me, with Rosalie, while we were playing.
- Visions, she can see people's future.- Charlie answered quickly
- Well, it looks like our guests are being naughty. I just copied the power of Alice Cullen, because she used it against me.- I informed them.
My brothers and my parents gasped surprised and Renesmeé sat on my side while taking my hand.
- What do you see? Mom, answer me.- my daughters voice sounded worried.
- They're images of my past, it looks like they want to find out things about us, they want to know how is it that we're a biological family.- I answered monotonously, while I saw myself with my old friends in the beach.
- But that's not possible.- Garrett refuted.- she can only see images of the future.
- Yes, but her brother Emmett, has the capacity of increasing the supernatural powers of any vampire.- mom informed us, who looked at me worried.
- OH! Bells, you always get the best, that power of yours is the best anyone has seen, no wonder the Volturis fear you.- Benji told me.
My power was the most special of all the ones I had the "pleasure" to know. My family told me the mirror, because everyone, who tried to use their power against me, failed. I didn't only make myself immune to their power, but I copied it and stayed with it. I was capable of using it anytime I wanted. My brothers whined, they said that it wasn't fair and I to please them tried not to use my powers against them. Most of the time I only used them if it was a necessary case.
Suddenly I stopped listening, all my attention centered in what I was seeing, it was one of my worst memories, because I thought my father and his friend were going to kill each other, also because I feared something would happen to that perfect being I had met and because I didn't know what would happen with me. But also, that memory was one of the best ones I had, because that day I had found out I was going to me a mother. That day I had found out that Renesmeé was growing inside me.
My family was calling me, Rosalie and Nessie squeezed my hand making me come back to reality, but I was only capable of getting out when the memory ended and when, tying all the loose ends, I arrived at the possible conclusion at which HE had arrived. My eyes opened like plates and my breathing got agitated. I turned towards my family, without looking at anyone in particular, but having Nessie's hand really tight.
- He already knows, HE already found out, he tied all the loose ends, I have to go, I can't face him, not now.- I was talking in whispers, almost losing my voice.
The comprehension crossed the faces of my parents and Rosalie. I was only capable of looking directly into my daughter's eyes, she looked at me worried, slowly and while I was looking at her, her chocolate colored eyes changed to gilded, lost the color of her cheeks and the light sound of her heart was eliminated.
- Why, why did you do it?- she asked, knowing I had used one of my powers on her.
- Because I'm not going to be around here to protect you. Because it hurts in my soul to have to leave you, but I know that with this family your safe.- I answered her.
- Don't worry, I'll block them all, no one is going to dare to touch this girl.- my mother told me while hugging me and giving me a kiss.
- And much less they'll dare to do it, having an uncle as strong as me.- Garrett told me, giving me a little bump on the head.
- I love you sis, and in case of problems, I'll lock up this little devil in one of my cells.- Benji hugged me too.
- You know it's not necessary to tell you that I'll defend her with my life. But, please, you take care too, don't do anything crazy, you know you have someone who's waiting for you here.- Rose told me, she looked at Nessie, who had tears in her eyes.
- Don't cry little one, everything I'm going to do will be for wellbeing. Promise me that if you find out something you don't like or that it's bad you'll always wait for me, you'll hear my reasons and you won't judge me until you've listened to me.
- Don't worry mom, I'll always listen to you and love you. Please, don't take too long, I'm already starting to miss you and in case bad things come, I want you to be at my side.- Renesmeé hugged me and sobbed a little harder.
- This is for some vision, something you saw?- my father asked.
- You know it is, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to leave her.- I answered while hugging him.
All my family looked at me with a worried gesture, my face was a mask of pure pain, pain I couldn't hide in front of them, pain they felt like their own. They were worried about me, they didn't want to let me go, but it was necessary, everything for the wellbeing of my brothers, but above all for my daughters wellbeing. I hugged her again, kissed both of her cheeks and ran out towards the forest.
Renesmeé POV
I saw her leave with tears in my eyes, I couldn't avoid it, she left not even a minute ago and I already missed her.
- You must control yourself, we're going to return to the house and it isn't suitable that they see you crying.- my aunt Rose told me.
As soon as I could calm myself, a few seconds later, I got in the car next to Garrett, who slackened me on the right side and Benjamin that did it on the left side. When we were near, I started to feel the different scents that came to me from the house. They were all very pleasant and I knew some of them. I could recognize Carlisle's, Alice's, Emmett's and the girl from the incident in Forks, Bree's.
We got out of the car, and went directly to the living room, where 6 vampires of gilded eyes waited for us. I crossed the faces of each one without much interest, stopping on Alice's beauty for a while and Emmett's huge muscles. I continued looking around passing through the well-known, but not less beautiful face of Carlisle, at his side, the one who should be Esme, with her beautiful face in the shape of a heart and a little further back Bree, the girl who almost lost her life in front of my eyes. I continued until I arrived to the most perfect face I have seen in my little 9 years of life. He was what any women would want as a companion, but I didn't look at him that way, I watched him with admiration, his pose and elegance were so much that I wanted to look like him until the last trace of all his perfection. Suddenly, his gilded eyes made contact with mine and only one word came to my mind that fitted perfectly with his person.
