The story
"Well," Joey begun to say, "it all started about sixty years ago. I lived in Chicago at the time, I had a steady job in the bank and was planning on getting married with the love of my life, Elizabeth," he looked at her with devotion, she was looking at the floor, it look like she would blush if she could. "One day," Joey continued, "I got out of my job and went to a jewel store to find an engagement ring for Lizzy and I found the perfect one for her. Everything in my life was perfect, until…"
We all gasped, knowing what would happen next, the fairytale was becoming a horror story, but apparently it had turn into a fairytale again, if Elizabeth was standing in front of us.
"I was walking from the jewel store to my house," Joey kept talking, ignoring our gasps, "it was only a couple of blocks, no more than five minutes walking, when a girl approached me and she was beautiful, maybe the most beautiful girl in the world. She started saying something about a thief robbing her purse and that he ran onto the woods, so I ran after him, she started running beside me and, before I knew it, she was all over me, I didn't understand that sudden reaction, until she bit me. She was able to drink my blood only for a couple of seconds, 'cause a man came to where we were and they started yelling each other, forgetting completely about me, so the venom spread..."
We all shivered remembering the pain of the transformation. When I shivered Edward looked at me, lifting an eyebrow, and I remembered that he still believes that my transformation was pain free, so I just shrugged and mumble "I can imagine," he thought about it for a second and then let it pass.
"The pain was too much for me to notice that I have been moved. In the second day of my transformation, I noticed that I wasn't in the woods anymore, I was in a dark room somewhere, the woman that transformed me was on a corner biting her lips and the man was sitting next to me, yelling at her, I couldn't hear what they were discussing about, the pain was too strong again. The third day the pain was dull enough for me to understand what they were fighting for, they were in the room next to mine, she was telling him that she didn't seduce some guy named Gary, that they haven't slept together and that, if he wasn't such a paranoid, that guy would have been dead by now. With 'that guy' she obviously meant me, when they heard that I wasn't screaming anymore they went to check on me, despite all the yelling they were holding hands and they looked at each other like they were totally in love. They came by my side and they explained everything that was happening to me; I was becoming a vampire, like them, and that the pain was going to be over soon."
Joseph stood and every pair of eyes was looking at him. He started pacing in the living room, telling us the rest of the story.
"When I was fully transformed they told me who they were. The woman's name was Regina and the man's was Viktor, they had been vampires since 1910, they were only passing by Chicago and that wasn't their intention to transform me, that was a total accident, but they were going to take care of me, they couldn't leave a newborn vampire on the loose. And then I started to yell; I wasn't coming with them, I was going to find Elizabeth and I was going to marry her and we were going to live happily ever after, we would be together until our hair turned grey and we were surrounded by grandchildren."
The pain in Joseph and Elizabeth face's was unbearable, they were looking into opposite directions but their expression matched, they still mourned for the future they would never get. After a couple of seconds Elizabeth noticed that Joseph wasn't able to keep talking, so she continued with the story.
"Obviously they told Joey he couldn't see me anymore or he would drink my blood," she said, with a crooked smile that wasn't meant to be happy. "Those months were terrible, I was sure that Joey was dead somewhere, I hadn't heard from him and his apartment was intact, it was an obvious conclusion for me; he was dead and he was never going to return. I think I didn't stop crying for a whole month, I stop eating, I didn't move from my bed, always thinking about the love of my life, always crying. It was like my life was taken away from me."
When she said that, the way that she felt when she lost the love of her life, I squeezed Edward's leg; all though I didn't want those memories from my human ages they still came to me whenever Edward and I were apart. I wasn't afraid of losing him anymore, I know he is mine for all eternity, but I still could remember those horrible days. Edward put his hands in mine and looked into my eyes; the same pain that I was feeling in this second, was in his face.
"My sister and mother started to get worried; they thought that I needed a shrink or something, until one day a letter came to my house, signed by Joey," she smiled and kept talking. "In the letter, he explained to me that he wasn't dead and that he was still in love with me, but that we couldn't see each other because it was too dangerous, but that he was going to find me someday and we were going to get married. At the end of the card was an engagement ring," she said, with a big smile on her face. She looked at Joey, he had stop pacing to hear her side of the story, and his devotion to her was clear in his eyes.
"I couldn't live without my Lizzy," he said, sitting next to her, "so I came up with a plan. I was going to transform her and we would be together for the rest of eternity," he said, smiling. "I was selfish enough to transform her, but I loved her enough to give her a choice. I didn't have enough control to change her though, so I kept writing at her; I told her that I wasn't the same as before, but my heart was still hers. I told her that she was going to be afraid of me, but that I wasn't going to hurt her, that all I wanted to do was to hold her in my arms once more," he said, not looking at us anymore, his eyes were lost in Lizzy's.
"He kept writing for a year, all this warnings were weird, but I didn't care. I didn't care if he had grown another head or something, I loved him too much. So one day he send me another letter, he told me to meet him in the woods near to his apartment. I was really nervous, I hadn't see him in more than a year and I didn't know what to expect."
"I was hidden in the woods when she came, and she looked even better than the last time I saw her. I was afraid of her reaction, so it took me a little to come out from the shadows."
"You took so much time, that I thought that you weren't coming at all," she said, laughing at the memory.
"When I saw you leaving I ran through the trees to reach you, I didn't wait all of that time to just let you go"
"When you finally catch up with me you startled me and you took your hands behind your back, because you thought that you had scared me," Lizzy said, stroking his face and laughing, "but, when I saw you, I saw beyond the white and perfect face, beyond the scary red eyes and the marble skin. When I saw you I saw the love of my life. My life, that once was torn apart, was whole again. I was once again complete, my love was with me and nothing else mattered," she said, kissing the man that was in front of her.
"Anyway," Lillian said, looking amused and a little annoyed, "that night Lizzy didn't return, nor the night after, and the night after that. I knew all about Joey's letters, we always shared everything and I knew that she was supposed to meet him that night, so I thought that they were somewhere, celebrating the fact that they were together once again. But a month passed and my mother and I were freaking out, at first I covered for her, we were too alike in that time so my mother couldn't fully differentiate us, but, 'bout a week after her meeting with Joey, I was really scared, so I didn't cover for my sister and my mom noticed that she was missing," she said, looking to the ground. "We look all over for her; we didn't know what to do. We were only the three of us, my father died when we were very young, so it had been the three of us since always, we weren't just a regular family, we were too close and we couldn't stand to be away from each other for too long," Lilly told us, looking miserable.
"Joey had change me," Lizzy returned to the story, "he explained everything to me and I took it right away; I couldn't spend one more minute away from him," she said, looking to her hands, "but I missed my sister and my mother terribly."
"I couldn't look into her eyes without noticing her pain," Joey said, lifting her chin and kissing her softly, "so I decided that we would change them too. I told Lizzy about it and she agreed without hesitation, we decided that she was going to be the one to change them, so we had to wait one year."
"I knew that my disappearance would make them crazy, so I started to write letters for them, just like Joey did with me, I told them that I was alright but I was different, I told them that I was with Joey and we were starting a new life together, but that we wanted them to be a part of it, but they would have to wait, a year or so, for that to happen."
"We were really excited," said Lillian, "we knew that Lizzy was fine and that was all that mattered, we loved her, we didn't care about the changes, just like she didn't care about Joey's changes, and we were excited about the new life she had told us, we were going to be with her and that was the most important thing, we couldn't live without her."
"So the year went by and I was sure that I was ready to change them," said Lizzy, "when I came to meet them, they weren't afraid of the changes, and when I told them about the vampires they accepted it, they said that if that meant that we were going to be together they would accept anything," she said, holding her sister's hand, their faces were torn apart. "I bit my sister first and everything went smoothly, Joey was waiting outside the house in case that he wasn't able to resist their scent, but when I bit my mom," Lizzy said, with the pain clear in her voice, "I couldn't handle it, I couldn't stop drinking till she was dead in my arms. I killed my mother, my friend... I'm never going to forgive myself..."
She stood up and walked to the window, from the look on their faces they still mourned the loss of their mother, It was like our "cousins" in Denali, they haven't stop mourning the death of their creator or the death of their sister. Neither of the sisters was able to finishing the story, so Joey proceeded.
"After they lost their mother they became depress, if vampires can come into depression, they didn't feed for months and I was starting to get worried, I don't know if a vampire can die from starvation... I tried to convince them to keep feeding of humans, but they weren't capable, the loss of their mother was too great for them, they were constantly saying that they were monsters, even though, Lillian wasn't the one to bit her mother, she felt the same way, she thought that she was a monster and she thought that she didn't deserve to live," Joey said, looking mad. "It was my fault, I was the reason that they were in pain, if I hadn't change Lizzy in the first place..."
"I noticed that Joey blamed himself for the things that were going on, when he stop feeding too," Lizzy said, "it wasn't his fault, he wasn't the monster that killed his own mother, I was that monster. So I came to him and I told him that he needed to feed himself, that he didn't have the fault for any that had happened, that he wasn't the monster. But he refused, he said that he wasn't going to feed of another human again, that he wasn't going to be that kind of monster, and that's when it hit me; we could be some other kind of monsters, we could try to feed ourselves from another source, we could try to drink the blood of animals."
"It was hard at first, it wasn't as good as human's blood, but it was better than nothing," Joey shrugged. "So here we are, a coven of 'vegetarian' vampires," he said, using our term, everyone laughed and relaxed at the change of mood.
"Now that you know our story, we want to know about yours," said Lillian smiling at my husband once again. I was going to snap at her when it hit me, it was time to tell them about Renesmee.
