Sorry for the short chapter. I tried to make it longer... I really did.. sorry.
Disclaimer: In know way do i take credit for any of the characters or situations that extended from the twilight series. However, Brooke and Darrin are totally mine!
I went back to the hotel and packed everything up and called Charlie. I told him I was coming home today and that I'd be home in a couple of hours. I went to the front desk and got refunded for the unused night that I had originally paid for, then I left Seattle.
The entire way home I was focused on Brooke and Darrin, they were only five, so I would have no choice but to keep the truth from them until they were older. I was so relieved to know that I would be able to stay with them, and that I wouldn't have the want to kill them. Of course, I knew that I would have to deal with the fact that I would no longer age and therefore be forever twenty-three.
I still had no idea how the vampire side of Brooke and Darrin would eventually reveal itself. And I wasn't sure if it even would. But I had a feeling that with my bad luck, it was inevitable that it would somehow appear. And sure enough, when they turned fourteen, I began to see the signs.
They lost their color and started exhibiting the speed that vampires had. At this point I was forced to tell them the truth about their father and tell them that they could no longer participate in sports. Brooke took this news the hardest. She was an incredible mid-fielder for her junior high soccer team.
Over the next three years their appetites decreased until they were virtually nonexistent, and at that point I had no other choice but to teach them to hunt and introduce them fully to the vampire lifestyle. They stopped ageing when they turned seventeen as well. Just like Edward… forever seventeen. It was like a club that I was excluded from.
"MOM!" I heard Brooke yell, pulling me out of my reverie. I glanced at the clock, seven o'clock in the morning already. I rolled out of my bed and started down the stairs.
"What is it Brooke?" She probably lost something again. I noticed that her hair was hanging loosely around her shoulders, copper and beautiful. Both she and Darrin had inherited Edward's unique hair color. But unlike Edward's hair, Darrin's was short, he had always preferred it this way. It was so short that between the hair-cut and his body build, someone could mistake him for a Marine. Darrin was taller than Brooke, and if my memory served me right, he was also taller than Edward, only by a few inches though. Brooke was taller then me as well. She was probably just a couple inches shorter than what Edward's height had been. This meant that I was the short "older sister", or at least that's how it appeared to everyone else.
"I need to get ready for school and Darrin is still in the shower!" She complained, in an extremely irritating whiny voice.
"Brooke, sweetie, you do have your own bathroom you know?"
"Yes, but my hair straightened is in that one!" She said, and again, in that whiny voice
"Can't you do something else in the mean time? Like your make-up or something?"
"Mom, I already did that." She said as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
"Well, I don't know then I guess you'll just have to wait." She was extremely whiny that morning, or maybe it was just me. Probably just me.
"Hmmm…"
"What?" I said back too her. This didn't sound good.
"I know! I can do your hair and make-up!" Just like Alice, I thought.
"But I don't have anywhere or anything I need to do today that would require my hair or make-up to be done." I argued, hoping that I'd get her to back down.
"So what? Doesn't it just feel good to look in the mirror and see yourself all done up?" I was thinking that I didn't really care what I looked like in the mirror but I just caved in anyway.
"Fine." I said reluctantly, as I trudged toward her bathroom. At least one of us would be happy.
Same old Bella, caves into anyone. sooo REWIEWS?
