Chapter 14 – Remembrance

The drive to Prince Rupert took me no time at all; the usual eight hour drive only took me four. It was very uneventful with the exception of a text message from Alice that I have still yet to read.

I pulled up to the hotel, it wasn't the plaza but what did you expect for Prince Rupert population 12,815. I parked my car and grabbed my bags and the roses from the backseat. The hotel lobby was small, a couple armchairs by the fireplace and a coffee table with a spread of newspapers.

There was no one at the front desk as I approached just a sign that read 'Ring bell for service' and a bell beside it. I tapped the bell lightly and waited, two minuets passed and still no one was at the front desk. I tapped the bell a little harder this time and started to strum my fingers on the counter, a few second passed and a man came through the door behind the counter.

"Don't need to be hasty." The man shouted.

I didn't get the opportunity to say something back when the man looked up and apologized. He was a good looking man about 6'1, in his late thirties. Dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. His complexion was fair as is most people who lived in these regions.

"What can I do for you miss?" The man spoke, he was wearing a name tag on his freshly pressed dressed shirt, and the name tag said Mike. I flashed a smile.

"Well Mike" he looked surprised that I knew his name; I pointed at his name tag. "I have a reservation under Jackson" I glanced over the counter to see the guest list.

"Sure, Jackson you said it was." Mike started looking through the guest list. "I see, right here. King suite with ocean view. Nice choice." Mike preceded to hand me my room key. "Just take the elevators to the fourth floor and your room will be at the end of the hall. If you need anything please call."

I thanked Mike and proceeded to the elevators.

The suite was nice; it had a living area and a separate bedroom. I placed my bags on the bed and walked over to the window. The sun was just setting though it was too cloudy to see it made the sky a warm orange colour. I leaned against the window and sighed, the events from earlier in the day were flooding back to me. There was something about Adam that intrigued me, I couldn't quite understand it, he was human, weak, and very breakable and not only that he was a dying human. The weight of a hundred elephants sat on my chest. There was this enormous pressure; it was almost like I couldn't breath. Something was not right I knew this, I was sure. I turned away from the window flipped open my phone and dialled a familiar number.

"Sabine, I'm glad you called" Carlisle's voice was reassuring.

"I don't know what to do Carlisle." I walked out of the bedroom and proceeded to sit on the couch in the living area.

"We need to talk" Carlisle sighed "Alice has told me what she has seen and we have to figure out where we are to go from here."

I was speechless I didn't know what to say.

"Rosalie has her opinion" Carlisle continued "As you are probably aware of, but this is something that we need to discuss as a family"

There was urgency in Carlisle's voice that gave me the understanding that this couldn't be put off.

"I understand Carlisle; I will leave Prince Rupert tomorrow afternoon and head straight up to Denali."

"Thank you Sabine"

I flipped my phone shut and put my head in my hands. Seriously how could a vampire's life be so complicated? I spent the rest of the night watching old episodes of ER.

When the sky lighten, I grabbed the twenty-six pink coloured roses and headed towards the ocean. I didn't want to be near any people so I found a rocky shoreline that was just perfect. I sat down on the rock with my feet dangling over the water. I open the case with the roses that was set beside me and picked up the first one. I gently touched the delicate petals to feel the softness; I lifted it up to my nose so I could smell the beautiful scent. I carefully looked at it and spoke out loud.

"I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I wasn't the easiest child to deal with, I know I could of make it easier for you. I'm truly sorry." I tossed the rose into the ocean below and picked up the next rose.

"I wish I could change things, made those twenty-six years easier." I laughed at myself. "Seventy-five years later and how I wish you would be able to advise me on what to do or tell me that I have made you proud."

I felt a sting in my eyes; I knew this is how vampires cried. I tossed the second rose and continued to pick up another.

"Remember my eighteenth birthday, you guys tried to set me up with the Markey boy and I threw a fit. I was never one to follow the trend. That was the night mum that you talked to me about family. How sometimes you have to put your own feelings aside and think about others." I tossed the third rose in.

"I never thought I needed a family, after being changed I had spent so many years alone. I thought that, that was my punishment for everything I put you through. My running away, my crazy mood swings. But this year I found love, I found acceptance. I found people like me, who try to do good with that they have been given. I finally feel love, feel part of a family but I am terrified to let them in, afraid to do to them what I did to you. I couldn't live with myself if I destroyed another family." I tossed another rose.

"But mum and dad I don't want you to think that I am replacing you. I do this every year so that I never forget you."

Every year I would do this, talk to my parents as if they could hear me. I would bring twenty-six roses, one for each year of my human life. Usually I spent the whole day just talking to them about the last year, and going over memories of my human life. This year I had to cut it short.

"I can't stay as long this year as I normally do, my new family that I was telling you about, well there is like this umm emergency family meeting. I'm not sure about why but I do have a feeling that it is about a human who asked me out on a date." I blushed internally at the thought of Adam. "I have a little bit longer before I go though."

I sat on the rock going over all my murky human memories, tossing a rose in the ocean every so often. I looked at my watch it was 11:42am; I leapt to my feet with the last single rose in my hand. I looked up towards the sky.

"I love you mum and dad, I promise to never forget you" I kissed the rose ever so gently and tossed it in the ocean, watching it land gracefully on top of the water before turning back to the hotel.

Once back at the hotel I quickly packed my things and started my journey to Denali.
