Night-Day Dreamer: I'm so sorry I haven't updated any of my stories in such a long time! There's been the issue with finals, huge tests, like getting literally four snows storms in the period of ten days... And after school chorus practice and crap... I'll try to update faster!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT, STEPHANIE MEYER DOES

Chapter Three

I sighed as I stared out my bedroom window the next day. Surprisingly it was sunny out. Having sunshine in Forks was about as rare as having snow in Southern California. I smiled slightly since today Amanda, Chris and I were going exploring through the woods. We were going to meet at Second Beach and take that path through the woods to see where it leads and then try to find the meadow.

I didn't know why, but for some reason I kept thinking back to that man who I met such a long time ago. The vampire friend I had as a young girl of six. I sighed, maybe I would meet him again some day.

I stood up from the window seat that jutted out at the end of my room. I had windows on three sides of my room since it was at the end of the east wing. I had my own walk in closet and bathroom which was nice. I honestly didn't understand why Brendan needed such a large and fancy house since it was just the two of us and possibly Mellie.

I muttered about being forced to wake up so early in the morning while I pulled on a pair of darkwash skinny jeans and fitted pale cotton blue button down shirt. I threw on a short purple peacoat and a pair of grey converse before I grabbed the map, compass and my cell phone.

"Dad, I'm going and I have my cell phone with me!" I called as I slammed the door behind me.

I took my car to the beach since I was guessing we would probably head into Port Angeles for dinner or something after hiking.

"Hey! Violette's wearing violet!" Chris laughed as I walked up to them. I hugged Amanda and then punched him in the arm while laughing too. He laughed and patted me on the head.

After about five-ten minutes of walking on that path we came to a cute little house. It was full of people. They looked like a happy family all squashed in there together laughing and smiling.

The three of us shrugged and kept following the trail. "It seems this trail will lead us straight to the meadow but we have to find a way across a river first." I said and put the map in my pocket.

We were about fifty yards from the house when we heard all the laughing suddenly stop and a bunch of chairs topple over. We froze listening trying to figure out what was wrong. Then it sounded like a stampede of elephants stormed out of the house in a hurry and rushed into the forest. The air shimmered and we all shivered with crept out tingles.

We shrugged and kept walking for another twenty minutes. "God, how far away is this meadow?" Amanda complained, "My feet hurt."

Chris and I stared at her incredulously. "Aren't you on varsity track?" Chris asked her and she glared at him.

"Hmm," I said and glanced worriedly at the sky, "I didn't think it was this far away... It doesn't look that far on the map but then again Brendan was never good at math."

"It's getting dark pretty quickly and we should get back before nightfall," Chris said, "we should head back. I have an uneasy feeling."

Amanda and I nodded mutely as we turned around to head back but there were glowing red eyes staring at us from the shadows of the trees. The thing stepped out of the trees and we saw a man but there was something off about him. He was beautiful. His alien-beauty crept me out. His skin glittered like a million little diamonds where the sun hit it. He had the palest, whitest skin I had ever seen but it was the eyes that were the creepiest.

All of our eyes were wide as we took a step back. We were obviously having the same thoughts. This person was not human. Then I remembered, the man I met so many years ago. The beautiful man with blood red eyes.

The man in front of us was obviously a vampire, except, he wasn't a good vampire because his eyes weren't golden and he was looking at us like we were food. Amanda and Chris didn't know about vampires and it was better if they didn't.

The vampire grinned and I could feel Amanda and Chris shuddered next to me. "Felix," a sharp beautiful voice said as a tiny girl stepped out of the shadows, "stay focused."

We heard a crunch of a twig behind us and our heads snapped around. We were surrounded. There were six vampires who all had crimson red eyes. Three boys and three girls.

"Is this the girl from your brother's memory?" one asked and the short blonde girl nodded grimly while glaring at me.

"Jane," Felix said, "let's bring her back quickly. We have been away long and Aro will be angry if we take any longer."

The short blonde girl's name was Jane apparently. She glared at me and said, "Pain."

I stared back at her blankly while my friend's fell to the ground screaming. Jane glared at me and went to leap but Felix's arms shot out and pulled her back to the ground. She snarled at me and cringed.

"Sleep," one of the boys whispered and Amanda and Chris immediately fell asleep on the ground. I, however, had not fallen asleep. I stayed standing remembering how that man I met as a little girl had said I was invulnerable to vampire's special gifts.

The vampire with the sleeping gift stared at me curiously and said, "No wonder Aro wants to turn her. She is a shield for both physical and mental attacks. If she were to be a vampire she'd have the power of invisibility and teleportation too."

I narrowed my eyes at him. Apparently Sleeping Boy also had a gift for seeing others' gifts. Then I froze, they were planning on turning me into a vampire.

Before I knew it one of them had come up to me in less then a second or a blink of an eye and pressed down on the pressure point in my neck. I felt myself falling into someone's arms and them speeding off before everything went black.
