You're Leaving
I thought my dreams couldn't get any weirder, now I'm in the woods somewhere with old wood houses, a lake, and trees everywhere. I was standing in the middle of two houses when someone came walking out of one of them. Holy shit it's my mother. I walked up to her.
"Mom." I said but she didn't hear me. Duh of course I'm dreaming. She walked up to a man with shoulder length black hair, dark eyes, tall. He's good looking.
"Jackson we need to get the wolves out of here. Lucian's men are coming." She said.
"We can take them out Hayley, we shouldn't run." He said to her.
Five of our people are dead Jackson. I don't want to lose any more." She said back. A little girl ran out of the same house my mom just came out of.
"Mommy, Mommy, bad people are coming now." She said. I looked at the little girl. she had the same necklace as me. So this must be a memory of me when I was little. Hayley picked her up.
"How long do we have?" she asked her. People started to form a circle.
"Not long but I can create a an invisible shield around everyone to think that we are gone." she said.
"Invisible shield how will that work." Jackson asked.
"It's like a big blanket that will go over everyone making us invisible to the outside world. When the bad people come they won't be able to see us. It also protects us from witches and vampires." she said.
"That's great honey could you go ahead and do it." Hayley asked.
"I already done it when everyone formed around us. Now nobody move or you will go out of the shield." she yelled. Everyone came closer together when trucks came revealing men with guns. They looked around the place.
"Can they hear us." Jackson said.
"No they can't hear us but that doesn't mean to attack. Those guns are filled with silver bullets." she said. The men looked around some more before they started to head off to different directions.
"What do we do now?" Someone said. The little girl didn't say anything until I heard screaming coming from the woods. Everyone was quiet. Another scream and the ground shook. Everyone was scared becasue they didn't know what was going on. The ground stopped shaking then there was silence.
"What's going on out there?" Jackson asked.
"I'm not sure but it sounds like something got those men." Hayley said. I was looking at the little girl. She didn't say anthing but it looked like she was concentrating on someting. Her eyes were blue and she was smiling.
I woke up to my alarm going off. I hit the button and sat up in bed. That was some dream I had. However it was nice to see my mother but who was Jackson and where was I. I got out of bed to get ready for work. As I was getting ready I decided to call Stefan to see if he knew anything about it.
"Hello Hope." Stefan said.
"Hey Stefan I wanted to know if you remember anybody named Jackson that knew my mother." I said
"I knew of him. He was Hayley's husband." Stefan said. My mom was married, was that my dad. Did I see my dad...hold on Stefan said was.
"What do you mean was her husband. They divoriced." I said.
"No, his heart was ripped out of his chest." Stefan said. Bile rose in my mouth. His heart was ripped out. Someone killed my dad.
"Some one killed my dad." I said. Tears started to form in my eyes.
"He wasn't your dad." Stefan said. What?
"Mom remarried." I said.
"No she didn't remarried. Your mom and dad was never married it was more of a one night stand when they conceived you. Jackson was somebody your mom was suppose to marry for pack purposes." Stefan said. Pack pruposes what's that suppose to mean.
"Who killed him?" I asked.
"One of your father's enemies." He said.
"Why did they kill him if my dad and mom wasn't together?" I said putting my shoes on.
"That is a long story for another time trust me. Your family has a lot of enemies that wants to destory them. Well your dad had more enemies than you could count." Stefan said. I was walking down stairs when I saw Charlie in the kitchen making breafast.
"I had a dream or at least a memory last night where Hayley and Jackson was together along with other people. There was a lake, houses, and trees everywhere." I said.
"You must be talking about the bayou in New Orleans. Of course you know you was born in New Orleans." Stefan said.
"Yeah Damon told me. You think anybody still lives there that could tell me about Haley?" I asked him.
"Don't know that was in the late 80's when that happened. There could still be people living there but they might be in hiding." Stefan said.
"Why are they in hiding?" I asked.
"Well being hunted down can do that to you." He said. Hunted down what on earth is going on.
"Umm I'll talk to you later." I said hanging up. I shook my head in disbelief making my way to the kitchen.
"Good Morning Charlie." I said.
"Good Morning Bella did you sleep well." Charlie said. I sat down at the table helping myself to the pancakes, eggs, bacon, and orange juice that was on the table.
"I slept well. Did you find anything on Hayley Marshall. I know you said you would but that was before the earthquake happened. Was you able to find out anything?" I said.
"With everything going on I didn't have the time to look her up. I promise you today that I will get on that. I'll start with Virginia seeing how you have cousins from there." He said sitting down to help himself with food.
"Then check Louisana." I said.
"Why Louisiana?" Charlie asked.
"I had this dream but I think it may have been a memory and it lead me to New Orleans, Louisana." I said to him.
"I'll check there as well." Charlie said. We chatted a little until it was time for us to go.
Finally everything was done at the store so it can reopen again. I don't know what I'm happy about, we finished cleaning or it can open again. Eric and Kim is going on strong so he hasn't talked to me as much which I was thankful for. The door opened letting us know customers are in the store. I went back to stocking shelves when I heard someone call my name.
"Hey Jacob, how are you?" I said with a smile. He grown since the last time I seen him. Has he been working out.
"It's been good, how are you?" He said.
"It's been going. Sorry I haven't visitied you in a while I just been busy. How are things at the reservation, was there any damage." I said.
"Not a lot of damage just trees in the streets and in houses. My house stood tall through all of that. I've been busy helping out around the reservation to make sure everything is ok." He said.
"Are you and that Edward kid still going out?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah we are, why?" I asked.
"No reason, my dad wanted to know." He said. I rolled my eyes. I think it's nobody business if me and Edward are dating.
"So what brings you by the store. Are you and your dad going camping?" I asked him to change the subject.
"No, I just came by to see you." Jacob said. I nodded my head as I was finishing up with the shelf I was on.
"How about you come by later on and we can hang out." I said to him. He smiled at me.
"Sure, I'll see you later then." He said walking down the aisle. I nodded my head going back to restocking shelves.
Edward's POV
I wished today wasn't the day that we leave but we have to. You can feel it in the air the sadness everyone had because we are leaving Bella behind. I know it's for the best so she wouldn't get hurt by my kind but it's not the only thing after her. How do I leave her behind knowing that she is in danger. Sure there's Damon here to see to her safety but dammit that's my job. She's belongs with me so I should be the one making sure she's safe. My family decided to stay in Alaska close by to our cousins. He already told the hospital that an opportunity came up there and that he had to leave as soon as possible. My room was almost empty when Alice came in.
"Could I at least say goodbye to her." Alice said.
"That wouldn't be a good idea. You would never want to leave. I'll just tell her that we will keep in touch." I said sternly.
"How could we leave her here after knowing what we know about her. She's still danger with Latnok coming after her. I mean we haven't heard or seen anything happen yet but it will in time. She will be vulnerable." Alice said.
"Damon's here to see that will not happen. Look Alice you know just as I do that we can't stay here any longer. The towns people will talk and once they start talking then that's it for us." I said. I went back to packing.
"I'm going to miss her." Alice said.
"So will I but it doesn't mean we can't keep in touch. There's skype and video call so we can still talk to Bella. We won't forget her." I said. My room was finished and so was the rest of the house. I went down stairs to find everyone there.
"Majority of our things is already in Alaska. Everyone else would be heading there now, while Edward stay behind to talk to Bella." Carlisle said. We nodded our head in agreement.
"Give Bella our love ok." Esme said with a frown on her face.
"I will." I said. They rushed out the door leaving me to stand there alone.
Came home to see Jacob sitting on the porch. We walked in together to find a movie we both can watch. I went into the kitchen to make popcorn. My phone rung and I saw Edward name pop up.
"Hey what's up?" I said.
"Hey nothing much but I was wondering if I could come over later on today." He said.
"Yeah sure, Jacob is over here now so you can come over later on tonight if that's ok with you." I said. I took the popcorn out of the microwave placing it in a large bowl.
"Yeah of course that's fine. I have to talk to you about something." He told me.
"Alright then I will see you later." I said hanging up the phone. I wonder what he has to say to me. I went back to the living room to see Jacob had picked Spectre the new James Bond movie. We settled in to watch the movie.
Two hours later the movie was over and it was time for Jacob to go home. Charlie came in not soon after with pizza in his hands so we sat down eating pizza in the living room.
"So did you find anything on Hayley." I asked.
"Actually I did find something. I found out she was married a long time away to a guy named Jackson but he died under mysterious circumstances." Charlie said. I knew that already by Stefan.
"I also looked at known addresses but was only able to find one in the French Quaters in New Orleans. I don't know if she still lives there are not." Charlie said. That's great news, I'm one step closer to finding my mom.
"That's great you was able to find that out about her." I said to him.
"Yeah but the address is old so I don't know how much you would get out of it. There was no number I could call." Charlie said.
"Well there must be people in the French Quarters that know something about her." I said. At that point the door bell rung so I went to answer it. Edward was standing on the porch.
"Hey I was just talking to Charlie and having pizza. Would you like to join us for a conversation." I said to him. He looked at me with a sad smile on his face.
"No but I really need to talk to you. Could we stand on the porch?" He asked. I nodded my head. I'm getting a terrible feeling about this.
"Charlie, it's Edward we're just going to be right on the porch talking ok." I said to him.
"Sure that's fine." Charlie said. I walked out onto the porch to see Edward sitting on the railing.
"What's going on?" I said moving close to him.
"We're moving." Edward said. Moving where?
"Me and my family are moving to Alaska. People at the hospital are noticing that Carlisle is young for his age so to stop the talking we are moving away from Washington." Edward said.
"For how long?" I asked him.
"Forever Bella we're not coming back." Edward said. I didn't see this coming, not at all.
"That means I won't see you again would I." I said to him with tears in my eyes.
"That's correct but we can still talk to each other on the phone and on the computer. Video calls things like that but none of us is coming back anytime soon." Edward said. Alice didn't even say goodbye.
"Why haven't anybody else came to say goodbye?" I said. Tears were falling down my cheeks now. He wiped my tears away.
"How could you leave me here alone?" I said to him.
"You're not alone Bella, you have Charlie and as much as I hate to say it Damon as well. This is not the end Bella. Once you graduate from high school we could go to college together." Edward said.
"That's too far away." I said. He laughed a little.
"No it's not. When school starts back you will be a senior. You only have this year that's all." He said.
"When are you leaving?" I asked.
"Tonight. Everyone else is gone. I stayed behind to say my goodbyes. Esme sends her love." He told me. That still wasn't very helpful, I would have been happy if they all came by.
"But why tell me now that you are leaving. How long have you known you would be moving?" I asked him.
"I knew the whole summer. I didn't want to worry you about it. I wanted to enjoy our time together without having to worry about time." Edward said. He moved closer to me until our foreheads were touching.
"When does your plane leave?" I said.
"I'm driving up there. I'm leaving as soon as we say our goodbyes." He said.
"I hate goodbyes. Can we just say see you later." I said to him. My eye sight was blurry due to the tears.
"Then see you later." Edward said planting a kiss on my lips. He pulled me in closer to his body. All to soon I felt the wind blow in my face. I opened my eyes to see Edward was gone in his place was a red rose. I picked it up and looked out over the porch not seeing anything. I went back inside to see Charlie was watching tv.
"I'm heading off to bed now Charlie. I'll talk to you tomorrow." I said with tears still in my eyes.
"What's the matter Bella, did you guys get into a fight?" Charlie asked.
"No, he came to tell me that he was moving to another state." I said still not looking at Charlie.
"Oh I'm sorry Bella. Will you guys still keep in touch?" He said.
"Yeah, we'll still keep in touch." I said walking up the stairs not saying anything. I closed my door and put the rose on my bedside table. I let the tears fall this time hard. I never knew loving a person so much would be hard when hearing you are not going to be in the same state as him. Of course we will talk over the phone but I would never get to touch him again or kiss him. I won't be able to go shopping with Alice, Rosalie, and Esme again or play around with Emmett. I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes.
Hope's POV
I woke up at 1am still in the clothes I had on from yesterday. Charlie was snoring in the other room. Who knew when finding your mate then having him leave you was heart breaking. It feels like a part of me is gone. For centuries I never had to worry about it because majority of it I was a child but still. I stretched my limbs when I got up. I need something to do to keep my mind off of Edward. I looked through my phone to see what was opened at this time. I found a club on line called Midnight Blue that stays open til 7pm. This looks fun I decided to call Katherine.
"Hello Hope what's wrong?" she said sleeply.
"Edward moved so I want to have some fun. There is a club in Port Angeles that's open. What to party." I said.
"Yeah I'll go. Should I bring Stefan with us." she asked.
"No leave him home it's just be us girls. Come pick me up in 30 minutes." I said hanging up. What to wear, what to wear, what to wear. Then I remembered the dress and shoes Katherine gave me for my birthday. If that doesn't turn heads I don't know what will.
Me and Katherine made it to the club where there was a line of people waiting to get in. Two big guys were guarding the entrance to the club. We got out the car.
"Looks like a long line to get in." Katherine said.
"Don't worry Katherine we don't have to wait in line." I said. I started to walk to the guys. I had both of their attention, good to know. I walked up to the one that was guarding the door.
"Hello there, why don't you be a doll and let us in. Me and my girl just wants a good time." I said. He moved out of the way opening the door for us. We walked it.
"Stop right here." I said. I looked at the crowd to focus on my illusion ability so in their mind they won't see anything strange happening just making them dance until the night ends.
"Aliright anything we do here, nobody would be able to see. Tonight no one will see us or remember us." I said. Katherine looked at me.
"It's you you're back." she said. I nodded my head then went off into the crowd. The music was loud and thumbing in the club and there was bodies everywhere dancing on each other. There was a couple in the corner making out and a group of girls dancing with each other. I made it to the bar.
"What is your choice of poison." The bar tender said.
"Tequila Sunrise." I said. He nodded his head and started fixing the drink. I looked around. The place was crowded and I saw a guy looking directly at me. I turned back around and took my drink and took a sip. I turned back around and the guy that was looking at me was making his way towards me. He wasn't bad looking just a little cocky. He was tall with blonde hair, blue eyes, lean. His thoughts were sleezy and how bad he wanted me to come out of my dress tonight. He thinks he's so lucky but the jokes on him.
"I never seen you here before." He said to me. I looked him up and down. The pain in my throat was feeling a lot worse since I came in.
"First time I ever been here." I said seductively.
"What to dance?" He asked me. He held out his hand. I finished my drink and put the glass on the counter. I put my hand in his and he pulled me to the dance floor. An upbeat tempo started playing and we started dancing. He was grinding all on me and I did the same to him. He turned me around and brushed his lips on my neck. Some one is feeling handsy his hands traveled down my back and grabbed my ass. Typical, they always go to that area.
"You look mighty sexy in this dress of yours." He said. I was wearing a tight neckline bodycon black dress that crossed at the neck and louboutin black heels. I smiled at the guy.
"Why don't we go somewhere private." He said. He took my hand and we went down a long hallway that was empty and he opened a door that went to a broom closet. He closed the door and turn on the light bulb. He started kissing me and feeling me up. I was close to his neck and could smell the blood. My teeth came out oh he smells so good. The more he keeped kissing my neck, the more dizzy I became because of his scent. I couldn't take it any more and sunked my teeth into his neck. The blood rushed into my mouth and tasted sweet but a bit bitter with the alcohol in his system. I pulled away from his neck to look at him. Before I he could scream I covered his mouth with my hands.
"You will not scream." I compelled him. I went back to his neck to drink more. I could tell his life force was leaving him so I stopped drinking his blood. He was unconscious on the floor.
"Invisique." I said cloaking him so no one would find him. I headed back out into the crowd to find Katherine. She was sitting next to a boy that was feeling her thigh.
"I see someone having fun." she said looking at me. I was wiping blood off my lip.
"Of course, it's been a very long time since I have done that. I'm just getting started, so tell me does this cute guy here have a friend." I said bending over the table. I gave him my most dazzling smile.
"Yeah he's right here." He pointed next to a guy with black hair and blue eyes. He was cute but he couldn't match up to Edward. Why am I thinking about him, he left me. I grabbed the guy's hand to walking to the dance floor. We danced for a bit before he decided he wanted to take me somewhere private. I guided him to the broom closet where I left my first victim. We started kissing but this one was bold. He picked me up so I could straddle his waist while his hand went up my dress to squeeze my breast. This guys hands felt uncomfortable to me so I quickly sunk my teeth into his neck. His arms wasn't holding me as tightly so when I was finished I put my feet on the floor to let his body slide to the floor.
"Invisique." I said hiding him as well. I looked down at my self to see blood staining the dress. Well good thing no one is going to remember tonight or see me. I walked out to the dance again.
"Get your car and drive it around back." I told Katherine. She got up and left. As soon as I seen her car I picked up the two men that I drunk from and threw them into the truck. I went back inside to get paper towels to wipe the blood off their neck. Then I used a healing spell to heal the bite marks on their necks. I got in the car.
"We'll dump them at the hospital." I told her. She drove without saying a word.
When we made it to the hospital I looked to see if there was anybody around. With the cloaking spell still in place I dragged both men to the hospital entrance sitting them up on the wall. Who ever comes walking out the hospital would think they collapsed from being drunk since the smell of alcohol is on their breath. I walked back to the car.
"We still have time before Charlie wakes up for the day, do you want to go somewhere else." Katherine said.
"No I had my fill for today which should last me for some time, but I do hate the fact that the dress is ruined with blood. It was pretty." I said to her.
"How are you going to explain this when the other part of you wakes up?" Katherine said.
"Well she'll probably freak out because she wouldn't know how it got there. She'll probably run to you and Stefan asking questions. I rather you not say anything. I'm so close to becoming one again so I can't afford it going to waste. I'm showing more and more memories now and she's so close." I said.
"What will happen when you and her become one?" Katherine asked.
"Well I would be stronger of course, I would remember everything and I probably won't be like this." I said waving at myself.
"The Volturi has gotten stronger when they added guards with abilities." she said to me. I gave a humorless laugh.
"Let them get as strong as they can it wouldn't matter. I'm one of the Original vampires even though I was born into the family, but I did create the sire line that created the Volturi. My descendants are not stronger than me. None of them can compare to me." I said to her.
"Well what would you do when people side with the Volturi?" she asked.
"A few days ago the Cullens told Bella the story of the Mikaelsons, he mention that there are still other vampires that did not forget about my father or the story that sounded me. There are still vampires out there that would go against the Volturi. Why side with the losing team?" I said.
I made it back home but decided to go through the window instead of the front door. It was 5 in the morning. I took my shoes off got into bed and went to sleep.
I woke up breathing hard and sweaty. That dream felt so real but I couldn't be in a club at that time of night. I sighed and got up to go to the bathroom. The light was bright for my eyes so I squinted them so they could adjust to the brightness. I used the bathroom and went to wash my hands. I saw myself in the mirror and froze. My eyes were gold and my hair was all over the that's not what terrified me. My clothes was covered and so was my face. There was blood...everywhere. Where did all of this blood come from? Why was I even wearing the dress I got for my birthday? This doesn't make any sense what so ever. The dream couldn't have been real. I mean I couldn't have hurt those men. I quickly took off the dress hopped in the shower to get the blood off of me. When I got out of the shower I took the dress back in my room but I notice there was blood on the sheets too. I quicly jumble the dress and sheets together so I could take them downstairs into the washing machine. Thank goodness it's the weekend and I was off. I put on blue Annabel mid rise five pocket ripped skinny jeans, a black crossover crop top, and black multi strap heels all courtesy of Alice. I picked up the dirty dress and sheet and headed towards the washing machine before Charlie wakes up. I went into the kitchen to start breakfast for the both of us.
"Good Morning Bella sleep well." Charlie said.
"Yeah I did." I said even though I wasn't quite sure if I slept at all.
"Breakfast smells good." He said. I put bacon, eggs, potatoes, and french toast on the table. We dug in to breakfast with no talk between us only silence. I could hear the washing machine going. I hope I didn't ruin the dress, I didn't stop to see if it could go into the wash. Well if it gets ruined oh well.
"Washing something Bella." Charlie said.
"Yeah just a few things that were dirty. I didn't want them to get mixed in with our other clothes." I said. We finished our breakfast and together we washed and put away the dishes.
"Any plans today." I asked him.
"I'm going to the station for a little while to see if I can find anything else on your mother then I'm going on the reservation to Billy's house." Charlie said. "You."
"I'm going to visit Stefan and Katherine today." I said to him. They could probably tell me something. Charlie left the kitchen to get ready while I waited for the washing machine to finish so I could put the sheets in the dryer.
I knocked on the door to Stefan and Katherine house. Katherine opened the door.
"Hello Hope." She said moving to the side to let my in. I walked to the living room.
"There is something wrong with me. I woke up this morning to find blood everywhere and I was wearing the dress you gave me for my birthday. I don't know how to explain but I don't remember ever going out last night." I said. Stefan came into the living room standing beside Katherine.
"You went out last night." He said.
"I don't know, maybe, no, I don't know. I thought it was a dream I was having it felt so real but at the same time it felt like I wasn't in control of my body." I told them. "Well in the dream you was there too."
"Maybe it was a memory from your past." Katherine said. No that can't be right I woke up in the dress.
"No Katherine there's no way I would have the same dress on." I said to her.
"Maybe you was sleep walking and you put the dress on." Stefan said. That still doesn't make any sence. I shook my head.
"I..I...I don't know if that's possible. I mean sure it's possible to sleep walk but why would I put on a dress. If I was sleep walking I would have been walking somewhere out the house. Who knows what would have happen to me." I said.
"I thought Edward would be watching you." Stefan said. I turned to look at him. For some reason I felt a little angry I just didn't know why.
"Edward and his family moved to Alaska." I said rolling my eyes. Alaska really, I guess because the sun doesn't shine as much but really it's cold up there.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Stefan said. I looked at him again.
"Hope your eyes are blue." Katherine said.
"I wonder why." I said irritaited. Really where is all this anger coming from.
"Thirsty." Stefan said.
"Surprisingly no. I guess dreaming about ripping two guys throats out does wonders." I said. Dark clouds were forming outside. Is a storm coming?
"What do you want to do today?" Katherine asked.
"There's probably not much to do today. There's a storm coming... actually yeah I do want to go somewhere. Let's go to the Cullens house. I want to see if they actually cleared the place." I said walking to the door. I looked back to see Stefan and Katherine just standing there.
"Are you two coming or what. My truck is to slow to take us there as quickly so one of you is driving isn't that right Stefan since you already been there." I said angrily. The anger I was feeling seem to grow even bigger. I hopped in the backseat while Stefan and Katherine was in the front.
The house seemed empty and lifeless. I couldn't tell if there was movement in the house but it just had the feeling of emptiness. I got out of the car to head towards the front door. I turn the knob which the door open easily. I see no one locks their door. Stefan and Katherine was behind me. I went in to see nothing in the foyer so I made my way to the living room which was bare as well. The lights were off but natural light was able to give it a dim lighting in this place.
"I'll look up stairs." Stefan said. He climb the stairs leaving me and katherine to walk through the rest of the house.
"You think this house has a basement." Katherine said.
"Not sure I never seen a door." I told her. She started knocking on the walls to see if she can find any openings in the walls. I walked in the kitchen. Just like the living room, foyer, and dinning the kitchen was bare as well. They clean house real quick. Out the windows the clouds were still dark and lightning struck. As I was looking out the window I felt a presence behind me but for some reason I knew it wasn't Katherine or Stefan behind me. I turned around.
"Look what the cat dragged in." I said.
