IZA'S POV
My nails through dirt behind me as we ripped our way across this strange, green, and rainy land.
As I clawed my way behind Avery, I couldn't get the look of horror of my father's face out of my mind.
Was I right? Was I a monster? Should I have even come?
Yes, I needed to. I haven't slept one night since I heard that conversation that man had with my Dad.
"Who are you?" My father's voice was so low, I doubt someone could have stood right next to him and wouldn't have heard. But I could…
The man's voice was icy and shrill. "That doesn't matter, What does matter is that if you don't find her, she will die…"
"Who will die?"
"Avery."
"Why?"
"You'll see."
The line went dead. I heard my father's labored panting as he struggled to calm himself. He then picked up the phone.
"Rebecca?"
"Eziel? What's wrong?" " Something's happened to Avery. Call the other's, she gave me her address before she left. We have to go to America, Keep Charles out of this."
"What do you mean?" The tone of my aunt did nothing to soothe me as it used to when she would visit. And her urgency put a stone in my chest.
"Werewolves, I think. Someone called, they said something about Avery dying. I think… I think they're really going to kill her."
"Eziel, Stay in London, half of us will meet you there. The other's are closer to fly straight to America. She's going to be mad, but we have to go."
"I agree."
I knew stories about this. My Dad told me everything since I was a little girl. I knew that they all could die. Why let them die if I can save them?
I do have to admit, I don't mean to be hypocritical, but what's with the Giant shape shifters?
And wolves, for that matter? What was the deal behind that?
I finally snapped out of my haze of thoughts, and stared at the large white house in front of me. All the wolves stopped their running and turned to face Avery and I.
Other than the fresh woodsy smell of the wolves, I smelled something sweet and floral. The wind blew a gust from the west and that when the burning in my nostrils flared. I pawed at my nose and snarled. A choking sound started from the wolves, I looked up and they all had amused expression's on their wolfie faces. Even Avery rolled her eyes, but looked sympathetic and uncomfortable as I felt.
Was I missing something? Did they smell that rancid stuff, too? I cant believe my face hasn't melted off yet from the stench.
A red brown wolf trotted over to Avery and seemed to want to stay something to her. The other wolves turned to leave but he stayed turned his vast head towards the house, and the trees. Back and forth, back and forth. Avery made a low purr of confusion.
I think I knew what he meant, he wanted to tell her to stay while they all phased back. I slinked over.
I pawed her, and she looked at me. I nodded over my shoulder and walked in the opposite direction the wolves went. After a moment, and a nod from the wolf, she followed me.
Avery dropped our clothes at her feet and un phased after I did.
I picked up my dry jeans and sweater and slipped them on, thankful cats didn't drool.
Avery's beauty practically knocked the breath out of me. She was sopretty, it was practically unearthly. Since I twelve, seeing her always made me take a hit on my self esteem. No matter how much people said I was pretty, all I would have to do is think of Avery and feel like crap.
She sighed as she brushed her pretty brown hair away from her face. She gave me a rueful smile.
"So, kitty cat. Ready?"
I nodded and picked a stray leaf out of my own mass of dark hair.
I watched her lithe, graceful figure, lead me out of the forest and back towards the pack of shirtless men.
She walked like a freaking Goddess, I don't know how any of the other guy's in her pack couldn't feel more than sisterly love for her.
He caught my eye first. He was tall, and a bit leaner than the other giants that his godly presence stood next to. His short cropped hair had Diamonds of mist in it. He had his hands shoved deep into his pockets, and he watched me carefully. His depthless eyes completely undid me at the way he looked at me, I almost whimpered. I forced my eyes way.
The others were talking amongst themselves, and the Man who answered Avery's door loped over and kissed Avery on the forehead tenderly as if she were made of glass.
People are seriously going to have to explain things, and soon.
A girl came flitting out of the woods at an inhuman speed, and I realized she also had inhuman beauty.
Her bronzy curls bounced as she gracefully jogged to the largest Indian and kissed him on the lips before taking his hand and walking towards Avery, her boyfriend, and I. She smiled at me timidly and I realized that she may almost be just as pretty as Avery. I couldn't be sure, it was a pretty close tie.
Her big brown eyes were wide in excitement and the man next to her smiled at her expression.
"Iza, this is Renesmee and Jacob." Avery introduced.I shook her warm hand, then the large man's hot one.
"Iza," I announced.
"Nessie." She giggled. "Your English? I love your accent! My grandpa is English.." The bubbly girl asked to my embarrassment.
I nodded. "Half. My father is Bulgarian, my Mother is English. Weird combination, I know…"
She smirked. "I'm half Vampire. I win."
I blanched, but i was careful not to let my expression show how unbelievably shocked I was. I quirked my eyebrow in a polite way and commented. "Yeah… you defiantly win."
Jake tossed his head back and laughed, he placed a wide hand on my shoulder as he led me towards the other men.
"Your funny, I like you." He commented, then nodded towards the others as he introduced me.
Seth. His name was Seth.
After I was properly introduced, I followed closely behind Avery and Embry, but kept an eye on everything around me and the men who walked silently behind us. Seth, who followed closely and who's very presence I was aware of, let his eyes bore holes in my back giving me the strangest feeling of warmth.
"My family is one their way back. They had to make a run to Denali, I went with them but I came back earlier." Nessie announced as she welcomed us all inside. The sent was so nice.
"What did they have to leave for?" Avery asked, still holding on to Embry.
"To talk about the werewolves. We fear that the voultri would want to become Involved. I don't know if you've ever met the Denali clan, Have you?"Avery nodded but clarified. "Yes, but only Kate and Tanya."
"And do you know what almost happened after I was born?"
Avery shook her head, I could see that she was becoming frustrated. "No...But, what does the voultri."
Nessie sighed. "I hate speaking of such long stories. Very well, I'll show the both of you."
She stepped foreword and placed a hand on each of our faces while the Wolves watched on. I felt my face twist showing my profuse confusion. Avery smiled. "Its, okay Iza. She can show us things, it fun."
Warily, I pressed my check to her fair palm. Before I was pulled under, it was Seth's dark eye's that caught mine.
She showed us everything. And adding who and what the Voultri were for my sake. She showed her family and all those wolves in the snowy meadow. The cloaked figures who were deathly afraid of her mother. And the fear the one vampire had for werewolves, and the immense desire the Voultri had for defeating the Cullen's.
When I surfaced back to reality, I could feel my face break into my smile my father called "awakened sunshine" that he swore mirrored my mother's. And I know I was doing it because it's when people stared at me, like now.
"That was... really fantastic." I murmured.
Nessie smiled but then whipped her head to the direction of the door where a second later the clan of beautiful Vampires came in.
Once the blonde female Vampire looked at me, she lifted her nose and gave me a steely glare. A bronzed haired man, Nessie's father I presume, rolled his eyes and shoved her playfully. But she still gave me a look like I had Leper.
"All is well!" A blonde, male movie star of a man announced to the vast room of people. "The twins are heading back to Europe, turns out the voultri interceded and caught the Werewolves and destroyed them."
"What? Carlisle, what do you mean?" Avery let out a shaky breath.
Carlisle smiled. "It means, you have nothing to worry about. Oh, and who's this?" He asked and smiled warmly at me.
"My niece, Eziel's daughter," Avery said, then frowned at me. "It looks like she has become one of my kind. She knew about what was happening and came to help, instead of staying in England like a good little English girl..."
She narrowed her eyes at me and I blushed, staring at a lock of hair on my shoulder. Carlisle chuckled and Said. "English are you? Where from?"
I looked up into his warm butterscotched eyes. "London."
"Ah," He smiled. "Wonderful place. Nice to have see one of where I was raised in my human life." He smiled at a memory.
I nodded in agreement. And then a small pixie like Vampire danced by me and took Nessie's hands. She beamed. "We do get to celebrate Nessie's thirteenth birthday! I just saw it now in a vision, how wonderful!"
The Seventeen, or eighteen year old looking Nessie frowned, and I felt myself boldly ask. "What?"
Yellow and black eyes regarded me amusedly. Nessie spoke through firm lips. "To make a long story short, I'm older than my age."
I felt my eye brows screw together in a thanks for 'explaining' fashion, but she didn't catch it. Seth smiled sympathetically.
"Alice, you said we weren't going to do anything... Mom!" She wailed tiredly. Alice narrowed her pretty little eyes at her nieces betrayal and hissed.
"Now you know how I felt when I was mortal. You should have seen what Alice did to me..." The most prettiest vampire said frowning. The other's vampires chuckled at the joke I didn't understand, except Alice who pouted and gave Bella a penetrating glare.
"Bella, I know you were human at the time, but I do recall that you had a wonderful time at you wedding..."
"True..." Bella allowed and shared a tender glance with the bronzed haired man.
"But, there's no point! I'm just a year older... Why dont we get to celebrate your guy's birthdays?" she grumbled and crossed her arms. She leaned against the towering Indian for comfort who wore a smile and muttered. "Just like her mother," The bronzed haired man smiled then, too.
The largest Vampire chuckled and swooped a ringlet behind Nessie's ear tenderly, which was disturbingly like watching a Lion nuzzle a Lamb. The brawny vampire spoke to her. "Because, honey, we don't get any older." He let out a booming laugh.
The blonde Vampire, who previously showed me warm hospitality, sauntered up and wrapped her arm around the man and poked Nessie's nose tenderly with her pale finger. "And, you do. So be a good sport and go off to Avery's while we get things settled to."
Nessie pouted. "Come on, Jake..."
"Actually, much to my displeasure, mongrel stay's." The blonde and Jake narrowed eyes at each other. Jake leaned in and blew a big breath into her face. She waved the air away from her and hissed. She was instantly ten feet away and snarling. Jake had a triumphant smiled. The wolves also smiled smugly.
Nessie was clearly put out. "Why are you staying?"
He shrugged and her bronzed haired father answered for him with an emotionless face. "We sort of need his help."
She sighed and shrugged. We all started out but Jake stooped a few guys and whispered in their ear's. They nodded and communicated in Quileute. Seth threw a anxious glance towards me. I blushed furiously.
Then Jake spoke to Embry ,and Embry looked to Avery then I. He nodded and led us out with half of the wolves and Seth right behind. When we were outside I noticed my dad and the other's weren't back yet, and that's when I heard the sound of tires driving off pavement and coming closer. Embry looked trapped and pulled Avery to him. He whispered urgently into her ear and her face paled, then flushed. She pulled away when he was done. He looked at her apologetically but then she shook her head in forgiveness of something I didn't understand and he smiled with relief.
Avery shared a looked with Seth and he smiled sheepishly.
My father was first out of the car, I trotted to his side and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. The two girls flitted to two of the Indians and melted into their sides.
Once Avery explained everything, my dad and the other's sighed in relief and then looked to me pointedly.
Every time I turned around, the were a chorus of whisper's. Nessie and the girls were huddled and seemed to be sizing me up with hungry eyes, then more whispering. Avery didn't miss any of this, she narrowed her eye's at them.
We had another two hours until Nessie's party. The other's left, but the wolves would meet us at the party. After a quick talk with my, now sulking, father, we were to stay.
It was Nessie who first moved in on the attack.
"So, Iza, what are you going to wear?" He prompted and then glanced at Avery, silencing her.
"Uh, I dunno. I don't think I brought much." I admitted sheepishly.
She smiled, almost blinding me, and then Claire spoke. "Well, if you don't mind, we'd like to help you get ready. Alice is quite a picky when it comes to wardrobe."
I gave a pleading look to my Aunt, she only smiled sympathetically and shrugged as if to say 'better you than me'.
"That's fine." I allowed.
Kim clapped her hands together and pulled me up the steps, the other two in tow. I handed Nessie my bag and she quickly laid things out on Avery's big white canopy bed.
She put one hand on her hip, and the other in her tiny chin. She picked up my pink and yellow sundress I bought in a vintage shop with awe. The straps were made of big mix-matched Buttons, and the cut came above my knees. The dress was made of thin flowy material that was a cotton candy pink. The small yellow flowers were pretty and colorful.
"Oh my God," Claire and Kim huddled over to examine the dress. "You have to wear it!"
"Are you sure, is it appropriate?"
Nessie snorted and waved her hand. "Don't be ridiculous! This dress is absolutely beautiful. It suits you, I'm sure my aunt will pounce and pester you until you admit where you got it."
"Okay," The way they all had their eye's set in determination, I wondered what I had gotten myself into.
Claire squeaked once she found my light, lavender colored High tops.
"These are perfect! Since that dress is so short, it will show off those legs…" Nessie came over and examined them, then nodded enthusiastically. "I agree."
In the bathroom I heard Nessie shout to Avery something about 'not getting out of anything'. Avery snarled from down stairs. But it was half hearted and a defeated tone.
One problem with the dress, I haven't worn it in a good few months.
The gangly, scrawny girl who wore it before had no womanly shape, and now she decides to reveal herself. I am so perplexed by the woman/girl in the mirror I almost feel compelled to say, "Hello, nice to meet you new body. Hope you stay this way for the next few years…"
I tugged at the fabric that clung to me. I pressed my hands to my freckled chest and tried to deflate my breasts into the dainty ones they were before, but they stayed. I frowned at the new girl in the mirror who refused to cooperate with me.
When I entered the bedroom, the girls already looked like runway models, and they had my poor aunt sitting in the chair of her vanity putting on her makeup. Her glossy brown hair was pulled into a pretty up-do, and she wore a strapless dress that clung in all the right places. It was a light cream color and went perfectly with the color of her light tan skin that was dotted in random places by stray beauty marks. I wished I had those instead of blasted freckles.
Kim and Nessie beamed in Delight, Avery smirked, but Claire quirked and eyebrow and then asked me. "How old are you?" The same time everyone blurted out a "You looked Beautiful," "I love that dress."
We all looked at her with confusion.
I answered her question. "I will be seventeen at the end of the month."
She smiled wickedly and bounded to me. "Good, then it wont be too inappropriate if you looked Seventeen…"
Nessie quickly caught on to what she was thinking, but Kim didn't. "What are you talking about?" She asked Claire as she made her way towards me, she ignored her.
"You look absolutely stunning, but…" He put her finger's to her lips. "There's something…"
She pulled my hair out of its bun and ran her finger's through it until it was in a gentle disarray of waves. She looked like she felt better, but then looked at my chest and narrowed her eye's at me .
"What bra size are you?" She asked without shame.
"I beg your pardon?" I asked.
She rolled her eyes. And Nessie quick as lightning read my tag.
"Thirty four C!" She chanted. My face burned.
Claire put her hands on her hips. "Then why doesn't she wear them like she has a thirty four C!"
Nessie smirked and in a quick wave over hands across my chest, I was their perfection.
They squawked and squealed in delight and then spun me towards the vanity right next to My lovely Aunt. We both shared a look of despair as we were at the girl's disposals.
