Gracie's Story

Recap: As I looked at the open closet doors, I noticed something on the top shelf. It was in the back corner and if I wasn't really looking I wouldn't have seen it. I moved over toward the closet and reached up to the shelf. I fumbled around until I felt it and began to pull on it. I was trying hard to be quiet not to wake Rosie up. Once I had the object in my hand, I realized it was a journal. I moved closer to the hallway where the light was on. I opened it up and began reading the first page…

I thought for a moment before looking down at the writing on that first page. I saw the messy handwriting and knew it was my mom's. She didn't have any patience to write neater. However, she did teach us to have beautiful script handwriting. I looked over at Rosie, who was still fast asleep, and the guys were still downstairs watching t.v. I looked back down at the page and began reading…

Dear Dairy,

I should have died a year ago at the hands of James. No I shouldn't say that, I mean I should be sitting with the Cullen's enjoying there company. I wouldn't be in all this pain right now. It's been several months since I last saw any of them. He has been gone quite awhile, yet my heart still believes that one day he would return for me. I have made some new friends down in La Push. My dad's old friend Billy Blacks' son has been very good to me since he left. Jacob is as different as Edward was. They could have been the best of friends if it weren't for the fact that neither one of them should exist.

I feel my life changing every day; I don't really know what it is. There are days when my whole body feels like its on fire and then other days I feel fine. I don't know what is going on, but as soon as I graduate I plan on leaving town. I wish that I knew what was happening to me. Today I almost attacked Mike Newton, he had gotten a paper cut and the smell of the blood sent this burning fire in my throat. I had to mentally picture myself a monster in order to get myself under control. I hate to think that I might be turning into a vampire. I have been doing some research, that's the only conclusion that seems even remotely plausible.

Alice should have been able to see this happening to me and come back to help me. I bet Edward told her not to look for me, and she has no cue as to the horrible pain I'm going through. If I ever see Edward Cullen again, I will do two things; one back him tell me why he left me and two tell me why Alice had to leave. I feel all alone here. I can't tell Jacob what's going on with me. Sam and the other boys would want me dead. I would be no better than the Cullen's. Yet, I am very well controlled. I can't chance my life I value it too much to allow the wolves to learn about me.

Bella Swan

I couldn't believe it; my mom was in love with a guy who left her. He sure was dumb. Who is Alice, and is that who Rosie is named after? Why did she think she was turning into a vampire, especially when there is no such thing? Right, and yet she said Jacob was a wolf. Life is getting much more complicated. Mostly if Jacob was her age when she lived here almost 17 years ago, how can he still look so young? Plus she mentioned Sam; one of the boys at the airport was named Sam, could it be the same boy. I closed the journal and decided that it was a little too much for me right now. I looked at the clock on the desk it was a little after 9. The funeral was in the morning at 9:30, so I decided to take my chances and try to sleep.

I crawled back into bed and tried to relax. Just before I began to doze off I heard someone coming up the stairs. I pretended to be asleep. I could hear their voices.

"Do you think that Bella told them?" asked Grandpa. I tried not to think of what they planned on doing.

"I don't think she did. Gracie looks so afraid; I really don't know if she even understood what happened that night. When I got there Bella, Anthony and the other vampire were on fire. I saw a small figure crouched in the corner where a mirror covered the wall, but that was it. I went outside and waited for the police. I didn't even know that they were even alive still" Jacob said. He took a moment before he continued. "I was just so devastated that Bella was gone. I know she left all those years ago because she thought our tribe would destroy her. I just wish that she would have stayed and allowed us to protect her and the kids. I can't smell any difference in them. They smell perfectly human to me, but Sam says that I should still be cautious" he had continued.

"Jacob, what will happen if the Cullen's do come back" asked Grandpa worried.

"I really can't tell what Sam will do. Bella told me that the leech bit her only to suck the venom out, but yet somehow she still turned into a vampire. Really the treaty was never broken because it was James who first bit her when she went down to Arizona. You remember right before Prom, and they said she went through a glass window at the Hotel. Anyway from all the pack knows none of them have been in Forks since they left 17 years ago or so" Jacob said as he headed back down the stairs.

"Are you going to patrol and keep a look out tonight, Jake" grandpa asked.

"Yeah, Seth is out there right now. I think I'll relieve him and be back here in the morning right before the funeral" he aid as I heard running slightly in the distance. If nothing else made sense to me two things I was very sure of; one was that the Cullen's mom wrote about and Jacob spoke about were vampires and the second was that Jacob and his friends were werewolves. The rest of life I wasn't so sure about. I would have to read more of mom's journal and eavesdrop when ever I can when they don't think I'm paying attention. Looking at the clock again I notice that it was now 10:30, I needed to relax and get some sleep.

I don't even remember dozing off, but before I knew it I was back in the panic room watching the television screens as the red haired woman was attacking mom. She was very fast, I hardly noticed her moving. Anthony kept trying to protect mom when ever the lady would make a move. She began ripping him apart limb for limb. Some how Mom was unable to make a move on her while she was doing this, it was almost as if she was trying to shield something. That's when it hit me; mom was unable to fight back because she was still shielding Rosie and me during this attack. She was trying to end this fight before the attacker realized there were more people involved. Realizing this I noticed how time in my memory stood still and I saw my mom's eyes land on me. In that moment I saw all the love she was sacrificing to give us a new life because I was holding Rosie while she was sleeping I heard what mom said, "Keep her safe Gracie, find the Cullen's, never forget the sacrifice Anthony and I just made for you two. You both our only hope for the future, remember that!" That's when I saw another person enter the room. It was the same person I saw earlier today just outside the woods when Charlie had pulled up to the house.

She was short, very petite in size and had crazy black her spiked all around her head. She was very graceful as she moved almost like a ballerina. She quickly moved toward mom's attacker and with a quick jerk had thrown her into the wall. Moving at an inhuman speed she then tossed her into the fire that the woman had already started. The attacker than began thrashing about and as mom was trying to move to come to us, a hand reached out from the fire and pulled her in. The black haired woman grabbed mom's other hand and tried to pull mom out, but mom began talking, "Alice protect them, don't let Edward destroy himself because of my death. I knew a long time ago that I had to die to protect them. Anthony had fore seen this day several years ago. Make Gracie know there was no way she could have prevent this, it was always my destiny to die. I will be waiting on the other side for you my sister" and with that she let go of Alice's hand and allowed the fire to take her.

Alice muttered something and went over to my brother who was all mangled up, after doing a quick over look she began tossing his limbs in the fire, "I'm sorry my sweet angel, I was too late to save you, take care of your mother" she said as she kissed his head and tossed it into the fire. She moved closer to the entry way to the panic room which was a mirror and crouched down in a protective stance. Then a wolf entered the room, she looked at him and then at the fire. She then took her leave and quickly jumped out the smashed in wall. The wolf looked around and then exited the same way. After they both left, I pressed in the code on the alarm to unlock the room, that's why the police found us passed out. I had let the smoke into the room. I couldn't believe it, Rosie and I were spared from the attacker because she gave up her life.

I felt myself leaving the dream, waking up to an empty bed. I was startled, Rosie never got up before me. I began to panic, as I took the stairs two at a time. I began looking in the direction of the kitchen; there she sat in the werewolves lap. I was relived that she was kidnapped, but I also felt angry. I didn't let it pass as I spoke to her, "Rosie, what do you think your doing. You know the rules" I began, but was cut off by Jacob.

"Gracie, relax she is safe with us too, your not the only one who cares for her" he began, but now it was my turn to cut him off.

"Don't you dare tell me what to do? My mom only trusted you to take care of us because of what you are. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be in our life right now" I said as I walked over to him and gently grabbed Rosie from him. The whole while, Grandpa Charlie was staring wide eyed shocked at me. "As soon as the funeral is over I want some answers to questions I have and then I'll decide what will happen to Rosie and me. I don't need a bunch of wolves hovering over us" I said as I began to walk away. I didn't even look at them as I left, but Rosie put her hand on my cheek and showed me what they looked like. Both men had surprised expression all over their faces and a little bit of fear mixed in. I was tried of being babied around, I wanted to know who attacked mom, but more importantly I wanted to know why it was dangerous for us to exist.

A/N**Longest chapter by far, tell me love it or hate it. I'm at a stand still a lot going on in my mind. I am currently working on several fan fictions at one time. I'm going to focus the next couple of days on them and try to update this story by Thursday the 2nd. I have already written 3 chapters in the last two days. So stay tuned the funeral in next chapter with some uninvited guests.
