Chapter 12: Charlotte Whitlock
"I was originally created in the south as part of Maria's newborn vampire army. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time when Maria went looking for humans to turn to protect her territories. I was not intended to be left alive. Peter was in charge of babysitting the newborns on a day-to-day basis, keeping them from attacking one another, feeding them as inconspicuously as possible, and helping Jasper a little bit with their fighting training. He was the first person to talk to me after my transformation, soon becoming the only sane, stable thing in my new life. Throughout my first year of life, a deep bond grew between us, and Peter grew increasingly anxious for my safety. One night, Jasper was giving the newborns one-on-one instruction. He would call them up individually, but none returned. I was the eighth to be called; Jasper selected me and gestured for me to follow. Enraged, Peter yelled for me to run and bolted after me; I obeyed without question; Both of us escaped, and later became mates. Together, I lived a more peaceful existence with Peter up in the northern parts of America. I was, however, disappointed when Peter went back for Jasper, who later lived with us for a couple of years before deciding to leave us because of the overwhelming emotions of his prey. I was pleased with his leaving, because that meant she could have Peter all to herself again. Peter and I stayed on good terms with the Cullens, visiting them several times. I would have been tempted to join Jasper and Alice had it not been for their strange diet." Charlotte said with a grin, I smiled at her still giggling from Peter's story.
"Well now that your stories are finished let's get to ours." dad said, I smiled up at dad who looked at me sadly that's when I understood, he wasn't just going to tell them what we are but our pasts as well.
