Story Of His Life

"Are you sure it's okay that their son is dating the daughter of a werewolf?" I asked skeptically. He was carrying me over to his house. Or should I say mansion?

"They'll be fine with whoever I date."

I forced a small smile. "They'll just have to live with it, right?" He cringed, and I noticed my mistake. "Oh, crap. Sorry…bad analogy."

"You're forgiven," he said sweetly, kissing my forehead.

I was on his back, and his scent was overpowering. I was deep in the alluring scent he gave off. I let out a dreamy sigh.

"You're making me thirsty," Ethan said which made my blood freeze. He chuckled. "Just kidding."

"I thought you said I smelled like werewolf and that I stink." I reminded him sourly, giving a small pout.

"I was lying, so I wouldn't freak you out," he stated blankly. Even though he sounded flat, his voice was still smooth like chocolate.

"Oh…so then you could eat me any moment?" Small waves of panic began to wash over me.

"Kimiko, I could crush you like a fragile blossom at any moment. But then I would regret it. Because I love you too much. So there's no way I could hurt you."

I let out a short sigh of relief. "That's good…"

As we arrived at the Cullen mansion, the second I walked in, I felt comfortable already. Okay, so it wasn't so bad. The light sweet scent hit me gently as I walked in.

"Yes!!!" I heard Emmett called out. "DIE!!!"

"Oh please," Alice scoffed in her perfect bell-like voice. "You're going down."

"They bought an game cube recently," Ethan explained, letting me down gently.

"Interesting," I said, intrigued. I didn't know vampires liked video games too.

"Come on Mario!! You can do it!!" Emmett yelled.

"Nooo!! Peach will prevail!!" Alice said. I could hear game noises, and then a "Game!"

"Hah!" Alice said with triumph. "I win!!"

"This time," Emmett reminded her.

"They bought Super Smash Bros." Ethan said, half-smiling. "So are you hungry?"

"Not really…" I didn't want to burden him, even though I was a tad bit hungry. Where would he get food? But then my stomach just had to complain. It growled slightly making my cheeks tinge a faint red.

He smirked and in a flash he came back with some type of deformed cookie. He looked a little embarrassed. "Umm…I tried cooking."

I tried to stifle a laugh. "What?! This looks horr-I mean…maybe the taste isn't so bad." I took one out and popped it in my mouth. I almost choked with tears almost coming out of my eyes.

"OH MY GOD! It's YU-I mean…not so bad," I lied to make him feel better. But you have to face it vampires… make lousy cooks.

He narrowed his eyes. "You're lying. It's so easy to tell when you lie. You're a terrible liar."

"And you're a terrible cook." I said back, smiling.

He sighed. "That's why I had this prepared." He held out a batch of cookies that were in a pre-packaged box. It was obvious he got it from a store.

I took one and ate it, and it was much better than Ethan's cookies. "I think I'm full now."

"After one cookie?" He gave me a quizzical look.

"I'm fine, besides I don't want to get fat."

"Al…right…then. Let's go up to my room."

We passed through a few doors, and I could someone arguing in one. I frowned and Ethan flashed a reassuring smile towards me. Although I could see the look of contrast in his eyes.

I sat on his comfortable couch and he took out a flute and played my favorite melody. I closed my eyes and savored this moment. I had his melody memorized in my head, but still I loved to hear it every time.

"Ethan…" I murmured. "How did you become a vampire?" I couldn't help it, but curiosity was gnawing at me. The words just flowed out of me.

His playing abruptly stopped and he looked at me with serious eyes, like all the cheerfulness was sucked out of it. Ethan propped my chin up with my hand and stared at me deeply. "You really want to know?"

I looked away from his gaze. "Uhh, well you don't have to tell me if you don't to, I mean that's okay…"

"No…I guess you have a right to know." He let go and stared out at the window and put on a distant gaze. "I lived in Alaska, and I basically had a normal life. My human name was Ethan Such. My mother and father were top-notch doctors, working in a hospital. I loved to play the flute.

"I was to become a doctor when I grew up, and I didn't mind. I liked the idea of it, and I had no other intention of being what when I grew up. But this hospital was very suspicious. Most everyone bore these deep red eyes, and all were inhumanly beautiful."

I let out a little gasp. "They're-"

"Yes." Ethan nodded. "Vampires." He sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I leaned against his chest, taking in his sweet scent but not so sweet story.

"But my parents shrugged this off, thinking it was nothing, but then they were mysteriously killed. I was taken into the care of my parents most trusted "friend", who was also a doctor. He was one of the red-eyed people.

"One day, when I saw this doctor kill someone by sinking his teeth into her, I found out he was a vampire. He gave me two choices, just like what he did to my parents. I was either to become a vampire and join his group of doctors, or to die.

"My parents had chosen to die, obviously, rather pass on than become a vicious creature, but me being young…I didn't want to die so I had chosen to become a vampire. It was very hard, those few days, turning into a vampire. All I could think of was blood, blood, and more blood.

"I then learned the secret that every doctor in the hospital except a few select people were vampires. They all lived on the blood packets the hospital stocked on, but the only drawback was that they had to follow the doctor that had turned me into a vampire's bidding.

"If they rebelled, then they would be kicked out and they would have to fend for themselves, and that would not be easy." Ethan's grip on me tightened.

"But the errands we had to run for him was something like, to assassinate someone, or to retrieve illegal items. He was very greedy and malicious, and I really wanted to rebel against him. But I had to live on the blood he supplied for us, so I had no choice but to stay in the horrible position I was in.

"That's when I met Edward and Bella. They were up in Alaska and they freed me. Although I think the doctor is still looking for me…"

I shuddered a little. "So…he's still looking for you?"

He sighed. "That's one of the reasons why I wanted you to stay away from me. I really was thinking avoiding the subject, since it could frighten you. He strikes the weak point…which is you. You can break up with me now. It would be easier for you."

"I can't. I'll torture myself again." I hugged him tightly to let him know I was telling the truth. "Serious. I'll stay no matter what."

"…You sure?"

"Yes." I firmly said. "I'm not letting go of you."

He chuckled. "Not meaning literally right?" Ethan remarked to lighten the mood.

"Well I don't know," I teased back. "I might just hug you forever Ethan Cullen."

We were just in each other's arms until Edward walked in, nodded towards Ethan, obviously wanting to talk to him. Ethan gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before he exited the room with Edward.

Since I'm just nosy like that, I pressed my ear against the door to see what they were saying. But their voices were so low; all I could hear were quick soft murmurings.

The door opened, and since it opened out I fell through. I grinned sheepishly up at the two vampires. "Umm…hello?" I said, waving.

Ethan chuckled and pulled me up like I was a piece of paper. He really was strong. Edward couldn't help but smile. "Al-right then Ethan…you take care of her. Make sure nothing happens." He walked to another room, faster than a blink of an eye.

I scrunched up my face in confusion. "What was that all about?"

"Nothing," Ethan said quickly.

"Tell me," I said in a whiney kind of voice that kids would use. I gave him the puppy face. "Is it what about what we were talking about earlier?"

"You have to do better than that, because look what I can do." Ethan said ignoring my previous words. He held me face and stared at me with those intense amber quartz eyes. Damn it! My heart began to beat rapidly so fast I thought it would burst out of my body.

He kissed me lightly on the lips. Although he was kind of tall, so I had to stand on my toes to kiss him back. He bent down to my height and kept on kissing me, making me feel that light-headed sensation again. His scent poured into me, the fragrance a little overwhelming.

Ethan parted and smirked. I felt a little dizzy. "What were we talking about again?" I said, a little dazed.

His lips curled up in amusement. "I think you should go home now…it's getting late."

"It's 4 in the afternoon."

"Well…you know what I mean. Your dad would be worried or something. But before you leave, I want to give you something."

I was disappointed but my curiousness was grabbing at me. What did he want to give me?

"Be right back." After a few seconds he came back and gave me a gift box. "Open it."

The box itself was glamorous. It was light blue satin with a white lacy ribbon tied on it. I opened it gently, thinking I might break its fragile beauty. Inside there was a gold-chained necklace. The chains were tiny, and so beautiful. After several tiny chain links were real genuine pearl that were molded perfectly. I was speechless.

"Do you like it?" He asked expectantly.

"I…love it." I gave him a big hug. "Thanks." I breathed.

"May I?" He gestured to the necklace.

I grinned. "If you would," semi-mocking his formal manners.

Ethan tied it around my neck, his icy breath touching my neck for a milli-second.

"Don't forget to use the perfume Alice let you have to cover up the smell."

I tried to look innocent. "I umm…lost it." It didn't have exactly a sweet aroma to it either. Too stuffy for my taste.

"Here you go then!" Alice said cheerfully, handing me another perfume bottle, appearing out of the blue before she disappeared again as soon the bottle was secure in my hands.

"Thanks…" I said as I closed my eyes and sprayed myself with it.

So this wasn't as bad as the last one, but I for one am NOT a fan of perfume. "Hm. Vanilla Crème." I stated absently. I opened my eyes back again. "So who's driving me home today?" I kind of felt like a baby, being tossed everywhere and that had to be taken care of. Kind of…strange.

Suddenly I heard a crash of glass. Before I could react to the abrupt noise, Ethan grabbed me and locked me in his room.

What the hell happened?!?
