We were in a quiet forest for dinner. I knew almost all of the vampires here from the last time we met with the Volturi. Yet, there was one immortal here I've never seen before. He looked like he changed when he was only 16. He had long red hair and pitch-black eyes. He rested himself under a tree, alone. No one dared to approach him.
Then, here came the Volturi. With Aro leading them, they marched toward us. Aro approached the boy. "Noa! How are you, boy?" Noa was about to answer him. Then Aro put his hand on his shoulder, " No need to speak. I'll see for myself"
He looked scared. I've never seen him look so frightened, ever. "Son, your heart is like a black hole! I can't believe you've been through so much!" He nodded, sadly.
I thought I was the youngest vampire within all of these people. I guess I've been mistaken. He wrote something in a small notebook. Then, Edward whispered to Aro," What exactly has he been through?"
"Follow me, Edward," they went into the forest as Edward encouraged me to follow," Well, you see, Noa has never loved, as nobody was ever there to love him back. As a child his parents were murdered, so he never had anyone who would love him no matter what. He was taken to his Uncle Benjahmin who, as I have been told, hated his parents passionly. His uncle was an alcoholic, so he was passed out almost every time Noa was home. Noa spent most of his time in his room, never being able to sleep because his Uncle had his stereo blasted exremely loud. At school, he always thought of himself as invisible. He sleeped during class every day, but no teacher ever noticed. Not once. And at lunch he would be at the end of the last table, with his hood over his head. People glimpsed at him, but never cared. I really shouldn't have said he never loved, because he did have an interest for this one girl, Karel. She had a great sense of humor, was shy at times, but she did have friends. She was the only one who ever spoke to him, when he was in eighth grade.
"Then came their first year of high school. They were pretty good friends, but secretly Noa loved her. One day, Karel wasn't at school. He asked her best friend Saydey where she was, because she NEVER missed school, then she burst into tears. Karel was more depresed than anyone knew. She had to put a fake smile on every day. It turns out Karel committed suicide. That was the day Noa was planning to ask her out. One night he was all excited, because he would love. Then for the next year, for every night, he cried himself to sleep."
I felt a tear come down from my eye. I tryed to pull myself together," So when did he become a vampire?"
"One day, HE tried to kill himself. He couldn't handle the world without her. He felt empty inside without her, and he thought if he tried to die he would finally be happy, because he'd be with her. He put a knife very close to his heart. We found him in the street almost bleeding to death. Demetri then turned him into a vampire, because he thought he had been stabbed. Noa was very mad after all the pain stopped. Then we all convinced him that it would all get better."
I feel so sorry for him. I'm actually suprised he didn't attempt it again, though. Edward would do whatever it takes just to be with me forever. Like he said to me, 'My life would be pointless without you'
Edward was reading his mind at the moment. Noa was writing in a journal and he probably felt like a little sister reading her older siblings diary. Edward walked up to him.
"Noa, it's the past," he started saying," why hold on to the past when you have a future to look forward to?"
"It was happy in the past. And how am I supposed to look forward to the future when I don't know if it's gonna get any better?"
"A wise man once told me that it doesn't matter what happens, you deserve to be truely happy. "
"Sometimes you don't always get what you deserve."
"Yes, but why be miserable?"
"I'm not the one who controls my misery."
"Noa, you can only control so much. If you take that advantage, you might be able to be happy."
Noa didn't say anything after that. Who knew Edward could be so convincing? Well, if he did convince him.
