Chapter 10

Dark Memories

Sophia

Yesterday morning wasn't the best day of my life, but last night was. Charlie didn't have work, so we went to the local video store and rented some movies. We picked up some horror, action, and comedy flicks. I had a blast! He let me go to the grocery store and pick up all sorts of junk food. Blake called we talked for an hour until I told him I had to go, because Charlie and I were going to start watching the movies at that time.

We laughed and watched in shock from every movie. It was the perfect getaway, for the moment.

I woke up early and made breakfast. After I changed into my jogging clothes, I tied a very long t-shirt on my ankle. I told Charlie that I would be back, and that I am going for a run. I didn't have to tell him anymore since he knew that I was going for a run. I was anxious to let out the wolf inside me.

I went outside and ran further in the woods/forest. As soon as I knew I was too far for anyone to see me I phased. I felt my bones extend to its limit. Fur started to grow with each step; it took to come to my completion. It wasn't hard for me to phase now then when I was littler. Now all I thought about were the happier times with my family. I ran as fast as I could. I felt the adrenaline, the speed, my ability. I was content; running has always been a great stress reliever. When I was sure I was past the borderline, I stopped. I didn't want to go that far. I came to a stop where tree were surrounding me. I inhaled the beautiful scent that was La Push. I exhaled and I continued until I smelt a similar scent. A scent I was growing to love. I turn around to find Jacob. I've never seen him in his wolf form. He was a big wolf with a beautiful russet color, and his eyes were big and bright when they saw me. Not only was he beautiful outside but always inside, as a wolf.

Jacob

I was taking a run just to clear my head from yesterday. I was contemplating if I should go over to Charlie's house to talk to Sophie but I didn't know if I was ready to talk to her, yet. I needed the run to clear my head. When I came to a stop I smelled her. I turn to I was facing her and my eyes quickly shot up, like every time I see her. She was absolutely gorgeous. She was a petite wolf. I've never seen fur like hers, it was so dark it looked blue, a sort of midnight color. Her caramel eyes shined against her fur, making her stand out. She stood there not moving. Then she was turning around ready to head off towards the direction she came from and I went over to her as fast as I could. (Sophia is the black italics and Jacob in the regular)

Sorry, I should go

No don't I need to talk to you

Are you actually going to say something this time?

Yea and sorry about yesterday, I should have never ignored you like that. I guess I was just frustrated.

Why?

I don't know how to explain.

Oh, are you okay with…

Yea I am. That was stupid of me to judge you like that, you're right I didn't even know you. I can even believe I compared you with her. I could I have hit myself for letting that slip up, I said to myself.

With who?

Um, I don't know if I want to tell you, yet.

I get it. So what did you want to talk about?

I just wanted to get to know you first. I want to know everything, so that I don't have to judge you constantly. Recently I've learned to judge first and that needs to stop, maybe you can help me.

I'd love to, but you'll have to do something for me first.

What?

Since I am going to tell you everything, the least you can do is do the same. Tell me why you don't like vampires. And I want to know who this "Her" is that I'm constantly compared to.

I told you I don't think-

That's at least what you can do if I am going to tell you everything of my past..

Fine, you win.

Thank you

So when did you become a werewolf?

I became a werewolf when I was ten, I was baking cookies and I wanted one but my dad said no. That's when my temper started to heat up really quickly. I yelled at him he yelled at me, I phased.

Ten?

Yea I know.

But you don't look ten.

Unlike most werewolves I can choose to age or not. So I chose to age until I don't want to anymore, where I will be like any other wolf.

That's so unfair.

It's complicated.

And after that?

My dad trained me. Taught me everything I know. What its like to be in a pack, to respect the leader, the stories, the temper, the warmth, imprinting, everything.

He told you about imprinting?

He said what it was, that he imprinted on my mom. He never told me what it feels like, or how when I would know. When ever I would ask him about it he wouldn't tell me.

What happened after that?

He just would train me, I never knew why though. He started to become a freaking P.E teacher. There were sometimes when he would treat me like a daughter, and when he did we had the best times together, he was truly a great father. But then things changed, he start to push me harder when I was twelve, I was strong.

Then?

Then, the worst happened. Everything changed the day I turned thirteen.

Is it painful to think about?

Sometimes, but I got used to it.

Are you able to tell me?

No

Oh

But I can show you

How?

Give me your paw

Sophia

Okay, what is this supposed to do?

I can enter people's thoughts, I can enter your memories and you can enter into mine.

How?

By sense, and touch, touch works the strongest

Is this your-

Power? Yea

I remember it was the day of my thirteenth birthday. This is when my mother and father where constantly fighting with each other. My mother felt as if my father was keeping a secret from her, and he was, he was keeping my secret.

Why didn't you just tell her you were a werewolf?

Because she hated it when my dad was one, now no more interrupting, you're ruining the story.

Sorry

(A.N. So when Sophie is remembering this, Jacob can see everything, so vividly she doesn't have to say anything, because everything she's going to remember is so clear, even the dialogue.)

Flashback

I was in the living room with my brother Nathan and we were watching TV. The TV was on a high volume because my mother didn't want us to hear them fighting. I was so scared, I didn't want my mother to know what I was but I wanted them to stop fighting. They fought because of me, I was the selfish one. I wasn't paying attention to the TV, I was listening to their conversation the whole time, and my brother Nathan could tell.

"Stop, just let them fight, in an hour they will be fine. Just because you don't want to be stuck in the house for your birthday."

"Nathan be quiet, you don't even know."

"You're selfish sometimes."

"Have you listen to them lately their voices are rising every fight. Do you even care?"

"They do it a lot, I get used to it. After they feel bad and that's when I get presents."

"See, and you tell me I'm the selfish one. Seriously you know how dad gets, he has his temper and it keeps on rising."

"They'll be fine. Now be quiet I am watching my cartoons."

"I hate you sometimes."

"I hate you too, Happy birthday by the way."

"Shut up."

"Are you on your period?"

"Leave me alone"

"Okay sorry. I love annoying you."

"Well stop please."

"I'm sorry, I don't really hate you."

"Nathan I am just really scared right now."

"Calm down."

The more he told me to calm down the more I wanted to punch him, and I didn't calm down I got more scared, every minute. Finally they came out and mom was yelling at dad who was walking behind her.

"Matthew you tell me right now what you're hiding."

"I am not hiding anything Vanessa."

"Then why are you never home?"

"I'm home. I spend time with you and the kids."

"Oh not me, ever. Nathan either, but Sophie always. I love that you're spending quality time with her, but you don't spend anytime with your son. I know Sophie can keep secrets, maybe your using her to go see some whore you have on the side."

"I love you and only you, you know that. I imprinted on you!"

"God I am sick of hearing of all the wolf stuff, wolf that, wolf this. Shut the fuck up, I don't care about it!"

See why I couldn't tell her.

"This is who I am, who I will always be."

"No, you gave that up remember?"

"It still leaves inside me"

"Why can't you just change your ways?"

"I can't"

"Then I can't be with you!"

"What are you saying?"

"I DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE. I WANT YOU GONE!"

"Fine, then I'm taking Sophie with me."

"See, you always pick you favorites."

"SHE'S MY DAUGHTER!"

"AND SHE'S MY DAUGHTER TOO! YOU'RE NOT TAKING ANY OF MY KID!."

"Fine I'm leaving."

"Yea, go pack up your shit!"

At that moment I hated my mother so much, I've never hated my mom ever, but I saw what she did to my dad, and I hated her for it. They continued to yell, and throw things at each other, or at least my mother was. It seemed like she was the one with the bad temper problem. That's how bad I have it, I get easily frustrated.

"Stop it! Stop it! Stop fighting!"

I ran towards my dad, he bent down to pick me up and I threw my arms around his neck. I hugged him for dear life. I never wanted to let go. He made sounds of the ocean to calm me down; he always did that when I was upset. I was crying so much he tired to wipe my tears but they just kept falling.

"Daddy, don't leave. Don't leave me alone. I need you. I promise if you don't leave I will be the best daughter ever. I promise I will do all my homework; I won't get in trouble at school anymore. I won't fight with Nathan. And I'll listen to you and mom just please, please don't go."

"I have to baby girl."

"Well why can't I go with you?"

"Your mom wants you to stay here."

"But she doesn't understand."

"I know, you'll just have to make her." He was crying now, and I hugged him. I felt as if this was the last time I would ever see him.

"I love you."

"I love you too baby girl and I'll visit. I'll try to come and get you when I can."

"You are not taking my daughter!" my mother yelled at my dad, accidentally pushing me away.

"Just stop it. Stop it" I ran to my room and got my blue sparkly suitcase and filled it with everything in there. My clothes, my shoes, my money I got for my birthday, I had enough. I packed up everything I could. I ran back to the living room. I gave Nathan a kiss and said goodbye, he just looked at me confused. I stood by my father and grabbed his hand to lead him to the door. My mother grabbed my other hand and took my suitcase away.

"Your not coming Sophie" My father told me.

"But I want to." I pleaded.

"No!"

He gave me a hug and went into the room to pack up his stuff. My mother following him and my brother was crying on the couch. I ran over to where he was and I told him don't worry and I told him to take care of mom. I grabbed my suitcase and opened the door. Without anyone stopping me, or seeing me except for Nathan, but he was too shocked and scared to do anything. I couldn't take it anymore in that house, my oh so perfect life was shattered into pieces of glass, that could cut me if I tired to put them back together. I ran across the street almost getting run over by a car, I ran as fast as I possibly could. I wanted to phase but I didn't want anyone to see me and I held no good memory in my head at the time. I ran to the park a few blocks down from my house, I was far enough so they couldn't find me. I was a run away. I didn't know where to go, I didn't no what to do. I just couldn't be there with the people, I considered my family, my home, my everything. No, that foreign place wasn't a home to me anymore. So I went to the park that was always abandoned at night do to the fact that it was creepy and surrounded by tall trees and grass every where, there were even big rocks and trees low enough to claim. The park felt like a cemetery. Back in the day I think it was. I felt so scared and helpless, I felt lost because I was. I was alone, I hated everyone at that moment, everyone. I pulled out one of my blankets from my suitcase and rapped myself in it.

Suddenly I heard a noise, aside from all the animals that might have been there with me, fearing me as an intruder, as a predator. No, then I felt a chilliness, and grabbed the blanket and pulled it almost over my head. When I pulled it down I smelt something, something disgusting. The smell was terrible, I hated it. From a distance I saw something near a tree. The only things that stood out to me were their red eyes and their pale-white skin. The person jumped toward me almost hovering over me, when I started to run away. By then I knew what he was…a vampire. And I hated him, not because I knew him, but because I knew he wasn't good, and because he was after me. At first he caught me by my sweater which I let him take and ran as fast as my legs could take me. I was scared for my life. I thought about just giving up at that point. He wouldn't want my blood, would he? What does he want with me? I decide it was time for me to phase, but I couldn't. I tripped over a block of wood, and I was down on the floor. He was over me and at that point I didn't know what to do.

"Poor lonely wolf, all scared and alone." I tired growling but that didn't help he wasn't scared.

"You're not scaring me." I lied.

"oh really?"

"How old are you?" I tried to make small talk until I was able to get up from where I was and scooted back every time I asked something, he didn't notice.

"I'm 53 years old. Why?"

"Uh, I just wanted….to uh to know, because you don't look…look like…it." I scooted back again.

"What's your name?" I scooted back again.

"Enough of this" He leaped toward me and I rolled over, got up, and ran. I ran so far, it didn't seem like it because he was right behind me. My legs were becoming tired and I couldn't take it anymore. I still ran, almost to the end of the park. Before I knew it I crashed against a large tree branch my head was throbbing and I stumbled and fell to the ground. When I fell I crashed my head against a large rock. My head hurt so bad, I went to touch the back of my head with my hand and saw that I had blood. The vampire's eyes went from small and red to large and even redder than before. I tried screaming but he covered my mouth with his extremely cold hand. I was truly scared to death, his breath was so cold, and I felt as if my skin was burning. For a moment it seemed as if I was in a dream, but I could see it all clearly.

"What do you want from me!?"

I yelled so close to his ear. And he whispered.

"Your blood." This time I had the chance to scream, I screamed so loud the birds that where near by flew away. All I remembered saying was please don't kill me; please don't kill me, please. The vampire was so close to me, almost on top of me. He showed his white teeth to me and leaned down to my neck, please I said again. He said he can smell my blood from a mile away and that it smelt so sweet, which for a moment I would have thought was weird since they cant stand the smell of werewolves but I was to busy arguing for my life. I could feel his freezing lips on my neck. I prayed to anyone who was there, Please I am so sorry for all I have done. I want to…I want… I don't want to die.

He snaked his teeth through my skin and I felt…I felt the venom. At first it sanked through and I didn't feel anything, for a moment. Then it hit me hard. It burned so bad, I felt as if my neck was on fire. I cried out in pain, until I felt it go through my whole entire body. It hurt like hell, I was screaming, kicking, crying doing anything to relieve me from the torture. Nothing helped. He began sucking my blood, but I was so angry and burning I threw my head back more but he just pulled my head back to where his lips were.

"Get the hell away from, eh ow, help me! Take it out, take it out. Please! Don't let me die!" I screamed as hard as my burning lungs would let me. Soon I felt my head bleeding even more, it wasn't healing fast enough. I was begging to fade into nothing but blackness. All I saw was some bright light, which blinded the vampire and sent him flying away. He just left, not even to finish what he started, he only drank an ounce of my blood, surely not enough to quench his hunger. He could have easily token out whoever was behind the light. I don't know why he didn't, but I was glad he did. The pain was unbearable, soon I felt numb, tired. Someone had picked me up from the ground. I fell into a sleep of purely black, of nothingness.

I woke up in a hospital bed. I was connected to wires everywhere. The pain was gone, I felt like myself again but somehow new. I felt bandages on head and I felt the nothing on my neck. My head was still hurting but other than that I was fine, physically. Mentally I was scared still, I asked myself where was I and how did I get here? The room was cold. I didn't notice my father standing by the window. I looked at him and I was completely relieved, my daddy was here to save me. He turned towards me, with both fear and disgust in his eyes; he didn't look like my father.

"Daddy, how did I get here?"

"I found you in the park; I came to look for you. You were with a leech. You were bleeding from your head. And your neck looked as if it was on fire. I flashed my flashlight and he went away. I carried you to the hospital and you haven't woken up for three days."

"That was you?"

"Yea"

"Well if I'm not died what am I?"

"Sophia, you're a leech!"

"But, how? Werewolves can't be vampires, they just can't."

"I don't know"

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know"

"Where's mommy?"

"Downstairs"

"Are we still a family?"

"No"

"You can't leave, daddy I need you."

"I can't even be in the same room as you, and look at you. Have you looked at your self? You're not my Sophia, you're a monster. Your pale and your eyes, there not brown anymore, they almost gold! Sophia if I stay I'll end up killing you." I felt hot burning tears rolled down my cheeks.

I wanted to yell and scream do anything but sit there in that damn bed. I wanted to hit him, but there was a large lump caught in my throat. This wasn't worth being alive for. He went towards the doorway and looked back at me. He finally told me what I wanted to know my whole childhood. He told me I'll imprint when I am ready, to give up everything. I had no freaking idea what the hell he meant. I sat in the bed crying my eyes, out cradling myself in a ball.

He left, he never came back, and we never heard anything from him, ever again. After the incident my mother decided it was best to move, I didn't tell her about what really happened at the park, and I would never have the chance to. We moved to Salem and that's were I spent my three years there. Slowly I began to get close to my mother again. She told me everything, she told me how she regretted every letting my father go, she apologized some many times for not being there, and she said how she was scared when I ran away. I loved my mother, how could I ever hate her.

When my abilities started to kick in that's when things started to get freaky. I smelt blood when ever I was near a human. I had great speed. I gained my power to read thoughts and memories. I still did everything I could do when I was a wolf but I was much stronger. I had blood, I never liked the smell of blood, and it never called to me. I could still phased. The way for me to survive was to eat like a human, but a lot of meats. I could do everything like a human; I can go in the sun, though I would sparkle a little. I slowly got my tanned skin color back. I felt stronger than I ever was. Though the reason I was like this was because of the vampire, I didn't hate him as a person, I feared him. He haunted all my dreams, but I couldn't hate him for what he was, because then I would hate myself. And I did for a while, but I was what he was. The only way I can explain what happened was that my blood and the venom mixed and confided with each other to keep me alive, some how they learned to get a long.

Again, after those three years, about almost five months ago there was one day when I was hanging at friend's house in Portland. While my mother and my brother went grocery shopping, they were on their way to some store for my brother when they asked me if they wanted to pick me up earlier, this was at night. I asked for a little while longer, she told me she was at some store a few blocks down so they would be there in a little bit. My friend and I were watching some TV show when out of no where I heard sirens. I had a gut feeling that something was wrong. I left my friend's house and ran to where ever the sirens where going. They stopped at a four way interception. Three cars were crashed and damaged together in the middle of it. I don't know what pulled me towards the cars but I ran as fast as I could. There was a car with an old lady and her little grandchild, the grandmother was dead.

In another car were four teens: two in the front of the car and two in the back. The two in the front were both drunk and they were dead. And in the last car was my beautiful mother, her head against the steering wheel, bleeding from the top of it. Next to her was my brother…Nathan. His head was crashed against the window, because he wasn't wearing a seat belt. The paramedics rushed over to the car, scooting me out of the way while I cried on the floor, I felt pain all over my body. I had this incredible strength, and yet I was hopeless. I sat there watching them try to take them out of the car, when they put them in their trucks, they checked both their pulses. The guy looked at me and gave the knowing look…they didn't make it.

I didn't know what to do; I cried so much I felt as if I had no tears left to shed. I looked over to the car that contained the four teenagers. And one kid out of four was still moving, no body was by their car. They were trying to take the grandchild out, of the lady's car. I stood there frozen I didn't know what to do. I was stuck in my place. When I finally hit reality I started shouting for someone to save him, but under all the sirens, the screaming, the yelling, no one could hear me.

I did the only thing I thought I could do to save his life. I ran towards the car, busted the window with my fist, which the guy was seated by. He wasn't wearing a seat belt either, I pulled him through the window, he didn't move. His eyes tried to open a couple of times, but failed. I ran over to an empty parking look, behind a building. I laid him gently down by the trash cans, where there were card board boxes. He looked about fourteen or fifteen; he was cute, lying there helpless and probably unconscious. He looked like a nice boy caught up in a bad situation. I swear that was the only time I drink someone else's blood, I thought I was saving his life, I didn't know I was giving him the gift of becoming a monster. I bit his neck and release the venom, he moved but was passed out, and I don't think he could feel anything. Some of his blood went in my mouth and I gagged it out. It was revolting. I made a little hard board house to block him from everything. And then I left, I didn't want to but what was I suppose to do? Stay there with him? I couldn't.

Then the police sent me to a foster home. I stayed there for a couple of months, I wasn't talking to anyone, everyone thought I was a freak and they were right. Who knew they had a werewolf-vampire in their mist, no one. And then I went to Charlie's the only relative I have left.

Turn around don't look

What are you doing?

I'm changing you should do the same

I listened to what he said and went behind a tree to phase into my human form. I put on the long t-shirt that was still on my ankle. It went over my knees, thankfully. When I went back to wear we were sitting, he was half naked wearing only a pair of sweats. I reached over to where he was and he held his arms open.

"What?" I asked looking at him curiously.

"Come here." He softly commanded.

"Why?" I asked

"Just do it, please." I went over to where his arms were and he embraced me with them. I was in Jacob's arms. I didn't know what to do. His arms were around my waist in a tight embrace. My arms were still by my sides. When he leaned his head on my shoulders, I lifted my arms from their original place and wrapped them around his neck. In that moment, in Jacob' arms I felt safe. It felt like home, somewhere I belonged. I loved every minute of it. I didn't realize that I was crying so hard. This cry was different from any cry I have every had. My mixed emotions where creating a frenzy. I was miserable, vulnerable, but at the same time I was on cloud nine, floating in the sky on a love cloud.

He made the same ocean sound my father would do, I let myself out and he was stroking my hair. I cried, for my mother, my brother, the kid I bit, even my father, after that cry I felt better. It felt right letting Jacob know what's been killing more for so long. When my father left me alone at the hospital I felt as if he took half of my heart with him. In the moment with Jacob, I felt whole even for the slightest moment.

Thanks for everything you guys, I love this chapter. The play list will be in the next chapter. This chapter wasn't even finished, but it was getting too long. I'll update as soon as I can.
