A/N Hey people! Next chapter! Hope you like it. Please review. i know i don't go into much description of the Cullen's powers but i thought it would be boring considering you already know. So anywhoo...here you go!

Chapter 4. Visions, stories, and pain.

Elaina's POV:

Taylor? I thought. He can hear me right? I mean he reads minds and stuff.

"Yes?" He asked turn his head to smile at me. We were riding in his black Pontiac GTO.

"Uh, are you going to tell your family about me?" They would not want to be around me. I'm a human who knows too much and am involved with too much.

"Yes, the Cullen's know." He said entering the parking lot of the school. "Alice saw everything and she told them. The Cullen's do not keep secrets." He said sounding proud.

" 'Alice saw?' What do you mean?" I was getting confused. I always got confused around vampires. "Oh, well, Alice can see the future." He said forgetting that I did not know. "Anybody else in your family have some super power I should know about?" "Well, yes, the Cullen's are a strong family. Edward can read minds. Belle is a shield; No one can penetrate her mind. Renesmee can put memories in you head by touching you. Jasper is an empath." He said matter-of-fact like. I noticed he never called them family. It was like he was correcting me by calling them 'the Cullen's'.

"Oh, wow." I looked up and noticed we were parked. Next thing I know Taylor is standing outside my door opening it for me. "Thanks." I mumbled. We started walking up to the building when I saw a very hyper, short, dark spiky haired girl walk up to us who could only be one person; Alice Cullen. "Forgive Alice, she can barely contain herself some times." Taylor said right before she approached us. "I have amazing self-control thank you very much!" Alice said with a smile so huge I was surprised it fit on her small face. She turned to me smiling even wider-if that were possible-and said, "Hi, I'm Alice! It's so nice to meet you, Elaina." Then she leaned in to hug me. The rest of the Cullen's came up behind her all smiling. This family smiles a lot. We all walked into the school and then parted as we went to our classes.

Taylor's POV

I had only one class with Elle; English.

I thought it strange that I, and only I, called her Elle. I was thinking about this on my way to lunch when Alice popped up next to me. Taylor I saw something at lunch today and you have got to go. She showed me her vision and I told her I would see them at home. Then I remembered I drove Elle to school today. I was about to voice my concerns when Alice spoke. "It's okay, Taylor I will give her a ride home." Alice smiled at me. Elle was right; This family smiles a lot. I exited out the side door and drove to the hospital to meet Carlisle. He was standing outside when I pulled up. Alice had called him.

"Taylor, hello. Alice called and said you were on your way but did not inform me of what was going on." Is everything okay with the human girl?

Yes she is fine. Alice had a vision. I quickly replayed the vision in my head.

During lunch some boy trips and knocks into the window braking it and shattering glass every where. Then he starts bleeding. And I start to lose control.

"Alice thought it best if I leave. She was going to tell Jasper as well to leave." Just then Jasper shows up behind us. "Hello." "Jasper." Carlisle greets him. Esme was on a trip. She had found furniture from the 1800's that she thought would look great in the living room. "Alice thought it would be a good thing to go hunting. Can you get off work?" Jasper spoke. "Of course. Let me inform them and I will be right out." Carlisle went back inside. I sighed inwardly. I would not be able to see Elle until tomorrow. I don't know why, but that mad me sad. I think I missed her. Strange. That must not be right. I was probably just wanting to know more information. Yeah that was it.

"Taylor what's with all the sadness?" Jasper asked feeling my emotions. "Oh, nothing, Jazz. I guess I'm just upset that I would have hurt that human boy." Yeah that sounded about right. "It's okay. Your still knew to this life." I did not have to leave but Alice thought it best. Apparently we have to talk or something. "Right. Alice should learn to mind her own business." Jasper chuckled at my reply. "Alice will be Alice. And she wont change." He smiled at me. Carlisle came back and we went to hunt.

Elaina's POV

I walked into the cafeteria and spotted the Cullen family sitting down at a table. Alice waved to me to join them. I slowly got my food and walked over to them. I noticed right away that Taylor was not there. Jasper wasn't either. "Hey Elaina! How was school?" Bella asked as I sat down. "Oh, uh it was fine." "Taylor and Jasper had to leave early today. I'll be taking you home." Alice spoke. "Okay thanks." I smiled at her. I eat my lunch while listening to Emmet give a play by play of a fight that happened earlier in the day. He talked about how stupid it looked. The bell rang and we all stood to go to our next class. I had Art with Alice next.

"Elaina, are you okay?" Alice asked as we walked through the hall. "Yes." I replied hoping she would leave it at that. Of course she wouldn't. "Elaina, please! I'm a vampire. And I don't need Jasper to tell that your sad." "Alice really I." I began to tell her the excuses I would tell anyone but, I didn't want to. I want someone to know. Alice spoke seeing my decision. "Let's ditch the rest of the day okay? I'll take you home and we can talk." She said with a smile. "Yeah that sounds good." I needed this. It's been years and I haven't talk to anyone about it. We were in her car when I noticed we weren't going the way to my house. "Alice I thought you were taking me home?" I asked. "I am." "But my house is back that way." I pointed in the opposite direction. "Oh I'm sorry. We are going to my house. It'll be your home soon enough." she said smiling widely. "What do you mean?" "You will find out soon enough Elaina." She said as she parked in front of a huge white house. It was beautiful.

*****************

Alice's POV

We got to the house in no time. Esme was gone so we were the only ones home. We went in to the living room and sat down on the couch. I had gotten Elaina some water and waited for her to begin. "Well, okay so I was 4. My parents and I were on vacation in Italy. We wondered the streets in Volterra one night. It was so dark. I fell asleep in my dads arms. When I woke up we were in a strange place. My mom looked scared. There was a girl leading us into a large room." Tears started falling down her checks as she spoke.

"I saw the three men sitting on thrones. They looked like gods. Daddy held me tighter as we got closer. The man in the middle greeted us saying hello. I didn't know why but my mommy was crying. It made me cry to see her so scared. The man in the middle stood and spoke saying 'Don't cry my friends! I am Aro. Welcome to Volterra!'" She took a deep breathe. "I don't remember all that happened but they took my away from my parents. I was in a small room for a week. They feed me and stuff. They then took me back to parents. But they looked different. They looked like the others. They wouldn't let me touch them. I wanted to hug my mother and father. But I couldn't.

"My dad fell to his knees begging for my life. I was confused. My mom seemed like she was crying but no tears formed in her eyes. My dad turned around and begged Aro to spare my life. Aro spoke one word. 'No.' My mom fell to the ground crying dry sobs. I was sobbing. Aro walked over to me and knelt down to be at my level. He spoke to me. 'Little girl don't cry. Your mommy and daddy will be fine.' I looked at him and asked; 'Why cant I be with them?' He looked at me so strange. He stood up then and said. 'She will live to be 18. Then she will be changed.' My parents stood up. They looked at me. 'She will go away to live with a human. We will have vampires around her watching, making sure she does not tell about our kind. That is the best I can do.' He said looking at me. I was even more confused when he said vampires. He let me see my parent once before I had to leave.

I ran to them and hugged them tight. They told me everything. They did not like to lie to me. Then they took me away. But I stayed with Aro for awhile. Well two years." She stopped and looked up from her glass and at me. "Why?" I asked. This was not normal behavior for the Volturi. "He liked me. Too much. I know this sounds strange but…He was like my grandfather. He gave me presents and cookies and it seemed like he, well loved me even. I don't know." This was weird. "Really? And I thought they couldn't love." "They cant. They let go of there hearts a long time ago. They sent me away after I had a panic attack for the first time. After seeing her." She said, her voice going into a whisper.

"Who Elaina?" "The monster. Well they were all monsters but she was worse. Scarier than anything I'd ever seen. Gianna." I remembered back in Volterra when me and Bella were going to save Edward. The human woman at the counter. That was her name. She had wanted to be a vampire. "She let go of her heart the moment they changed her. If not before." Elaina started hyperventilating while remembering. "Shh It's okay." I stroked her arm trying to soothe her. "Anyway, I've been living here with Jenny ever since. I haven't seen my parents since I was 4. The Volturi wont let me." Elaina looked at me and that's when I realized what had been hurting her all this time. She was alone. All alone. It was in her bright green watery eyes. I hugged Elaina as tight as I could without hurting her, and whispered. "It will be okay. You wont be alone anymore. My family will change that." I said confidently. "That's all I've ever wanted." She whispered. If I were able, I would have shed a tear. We sat hugging for a long time. Neither one of us wanted to let go. So we didn't.
