OH...Two chapter in one day...I feel like death...anyway this chapter is really important and very hard to write it was my first fight scene. Fighting scenes aren't exactly my forte I have just now discovered but I hope you all like this...umm please read and review!!!
Celeste's POV
Eating Dinner with the Cullen's was definitely interesting…considering the didn't eat. And yet to keep up appearances they ordered food, I still didn't feel hungry but I ordered the chicken marsala none the less. We sat there waiting for our food sipping from our glasses like we were one happy family.
"So Celeste…how do you like spending your time with us misfits?" Emmett asked laughing.
I turned to Edward and smiled warmly.
"I love it!"
Edward took my hand and kissed it gently.
"And I love you." He whispered.
I took his hand in mine and squeezed it.
"I love you too."
Finally our food came and I instantly felt like a moron. People of course didn't suspect a thing but if you were looking at this from my point of view you knew how strange it was to see vampires eat. I sat back and sighed.
"Celeste why aren't you eating?" Carlisle asked politely.
"Umm, I'm not really hungry."
"Please eat something dear," Esme said kindly, "otherwise he'll act like a doctor for the rest of the evening."
I chuckled and took a bite from my pasta. It was very good and the marsala was very potent. And that one bite was enough to fill me up for the rest of the evening. I looked at everyone at the table and they were all giving me the same look.
"What…I'm just not hungry." I said feeling embarrassed. "You don't see me harassing you guys to eat!"
"We don't need to eat." Edward pointed out.
"I know that Edward!" I spat.
"You haven't eat all day Celeste…as a matter of fact I don't think you have eaten since your brother helped us."
Edward knew better then to repeat that nights events in such a public place. But it was true I was not hungry, I did not know why. Maybe it was because my magic was just starting to come back.
"Fine, I'll eat just to satisfy you all." I grumbled picking up my fork and picking at my meal.
This was riddiculus, I wasn't five! I could feed myself, bloody hell; I had been taking care of myself most of my life. After forcing another bite down my throat I gave up, if I ate anymore I would surely become sick.
"I can't eat anymore." I whispered.
Edward looked at me concerned but did not say anything.
Great, the night had been going so well and I had to ruin it! Nothing could be worse then what I felt right now.
"Hey sis."
Did I say nothing?
I shot up from my seat to find my oldest sister staring me down. Her blond hair and perfect blue eyes were enough to make me vomit!
"April." I said formally.
"Oh…he's cute." She said walking towards Edward.
Quickly I shot up out of my chair and stood between it.
"Back off!" I growled.
"Oh, and what are you going to do about it?" she snapped.
"Is that a challenge!" I snapped.
"Enough!" Carlisle snapped from over the table. "There are too many people."
"You're right." I said coldly. "This is a personal family matter."
And with that I grabbed my sister and threw her from the room. The sound of a window crashing let me know that she was now outside, I didn't have a lot of magic, but what little I did would work just fine on this tart.
I ran outside to find her gone.
"Haha…oh, little sister, you learned how to play…but let us see if you are ready to join us big girls!"
I felt my anger fuel my power; if my older sister wanted to fight I would give her a fight she would never forget. My hands became hot and when I looked they were submerged in a white flame…what was strange is that this usually took more out of me…hmm…well no skin off my bones.
"Come on Celeste…fight!"
I sighed and waited.
"I'm waiting for you." I yelled.
"Awe…sissy…come and find me!"
I laughed and said, "Are you afraid?"
Suddenly I heard quickened footsteps, but when I looked it was Edward and Carlisle.
"Stay back!" I said.
"Celeste, you don't have the energy!"
"GO!" I screamed.
Edward damn it, this isn't for my health. When I saw that they wouldn't back down or leave I decided that it was time to take matters in my own hands. With a wave of my hand a purple barrier surround them and the entire restaurant.
"CELESTE!" Edward yelled banging his fists against it.
"Stay safe!" I yelled running after my sister.
Wherever she was going it was secluded and the perfect spot for a duel. Now, we witches have the choice, verbal or non-verbal magic, wand or no wand. I chose no wand and non-verbal. My sister, who is older then me could only manage non-verbal…she does have to use a wand. For years she used to use it on me all because she was jealous. Being the oldest she was expected to wield such power, but it skipped her generation as well as my brothers and went to me…well me and Ian.
"ha-ha."
Oh, the witches laugh; how cliché.
If she was trying to scare me she really had a long way to go.
"Come and play Celeste!" she sang.
I was actually starting to get bored! And then it hit me..well she hit me right into an oak tree. I stumbled down feeling warm gooey blood trickle down my head.
OH SHE DID NOT JUST DO THAT!
I looked to see her standing right in front of me. With a wave of my hand I sent a red beam of light right into her chest. If the spell was right her vision had completely disappeared.
"GAH!" she yelled.
"Hmm…forgot your wand I see?" I said kicking her so hard that she flew back onto the ground. "You see…boasting, what does it get you?"
I waited for an answer but did not get any.
"What cat got your tongue?"
"Nope…tree branch got yours?"
"What-"
And then I understood, unfortunately it wasn't soon enough to avoid the branch that knocked my off my feet and into a bush. I stood up furious, Alice's dress had ripped right up the left side.
"THIS WAS A GIFT!" I yelled firing a blue wave of magic.
I watched as her body was sent straight up to the sky and then come back down.
"TELL ME WHY I SHOULD LET YOU LIVE!? HELL DESERVES A DEMON LIKE YOU!"
She looked at me and laughed weakly.
"You wouldn't…kill…me…you…don't have…the guts…you never…did!"
I yelled loudly and pulled my hands up sending her back into the night sky! She came back down with a thud!
"FIGHT BACK!" I screamed. "FIGHT BACK!"
April looked at me covered in her own blood, clearly she hadn't learned how to heal herself like I did.
"How…how does it feel…to know that…you are a failure to our name?" she gasped.
"SHUT UP!" I screamed.
I was not a failure….they…THEY WERE THE FAILURES!
"Awe, did I touch a nerve-"
I took my index finger and like a knife through butter cut through the air slightly. I watched as her arm began to drip with blood and she screamed out in agony.
"You…know…if..you could only…kill…vampires…this way…maybe father…wouldn't hate you…"
I felt tears fall down my cheeks and then nothing…my whole body had gone numb but I could see. Everything was submerged in a white light. I looked at my sister who looked scared to death.
"Oh, I am sorry," I said smoothly, "did I touch a nerve?"
"Celeste…you-"
I moved my hand gently, however it was so powerful that when April was sent into a tree I could hear the wood snap. Her body fell to the ground in a heap and as if all my power had been drained from me I fell as well. I could not move my legs, I was so weak. I crawled over to my sister and what I saw made my heart stop.
"April!" I said shaking her slightly. "April!" I screamed.
No, no, no, no, no, NO!
"APRIL…COME ON GET UP…GET UP!"
Tears misted my vision and I used my strength to lean over her. Her face was smothered in her own blood as were her arms where I had cut them. Bruises covered her body…and they were all done by me. Oh, April! I am so sorry!
"APRIL! PLEASE…GET UP…G-G-GET UP!"
Still nothing…I..I had killed my sister…my only sister…my BLOOD!
"NO! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" I screamed to no one in particular. "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED…MURDER?! KILLING…WHY DID YOU GIVE ME THIS...WHY?!"
My head felt swollen and I felt sick…sick with grief, sick with life, sick because I used all of my strength to kill my…my sister. I needed to get up though, Edward was still waiting for me…still behind that barrier. I struggled to get up on both of my feet and walked away from April's body.
I had killed her…my only sister…I had killed her…and the worst part was I had enjoyed it…it was like a game…it had been like a game.
