New chapter
Anna's point of view
I saw 7 people walk in. I only semi remember them. I remember the name, but the appearances are a little sketchy. I remember the blonde. She always gave me glares. I remember the bronze haired guy. I remember when I got his power. Since Victoria put me through the change so much I developed powers. Somehow my powers were to absorb them, so I absorbed his. I remember him saying a name over and over, saying that he loved her and missed her, how he wants her back. He can't live without her. Something but I don't remember the name. I remember the pain I felt in his mind. All the love he felt for her. It was like I was him; I was looking through his eyes. I remember hearing how she was human, and she died. He loved her, and he can't love another.
"Everyone, this is Anna and Syd. They are two newborns I found. They are our new editions to our family." Angela explained. When Angela said newborns Syd flinched. But no one noticed but me. Everyone looked at me and didn't move their gaze. They all looked like they are deep in thought.
"Hello." I said trying to lighten the awkward vibe in the room. But no one talked. They all just starred. I looked at Bella with a pleading look to make them stop.
"Is something wrong?" she asked them. The only three that aren't looking at me is the honey suckle blonde, he is looking at Syd, and two adult looking people.
"We know her." The blonde girl stated.
"Ah, and I know you." I stated as well, everyone just watched.
"You were at school for about a week, then you disappeared, they looked for you, but they announced you missing. We thought you were dead." The bronze I remembered as Edward stated.
"As well, I very much am dead, back then my…creator didn't like my obvious attention, so she moved me to a more secluded area. One where it was easier to keep track of her prey." I explained without difficulty.
"Who was your creator?" the older gentleman asked.
"A women named Victoria." Everyone, I mean everyone flinched and looked at me.
"Did she have a cat like stature and wild red hair?" the older gentleman spoke again.
"Ah, yes that was in deed her." I spoke very formally. "But she didn't change me, she only introduced me to this world that is hidden from humans." I spoke formally again. I met each stare with ease.
"Who changed you then, if I may ask?" The honey suckle blonde asked, I remembered him as Jasper.
"Syd." I said simply. Jasper then looked at Syd and he flinched.
"You are no newborn." Jasper stated to Syd. I only moved my glance like everyone else to Syd.
"No, I am not." She said while looking down.
"Then why do you say you are?" Jasper asked formally.
"Because I want a fresh start." She said as she moved her glance to Jasper and flinched. "I am surprised you don't remember me."
"What?" Jasper asked with a confused expression.
"Come on, even vampires can remember human memories, even if they are fuzzy." Syd explained.
"I don't get it." He stated.
"Before you left for war, which your parents knew about by the way, your sister had a nanny, one just 2 years older than you. I spent some time with you, we were like best friends. Your sister then grew ill and I stayed with her, as you were being turned. I knew you weren't missing. I searched for you. I stayed with your sister until one night when she disappeared and I couldn't find her. I looked for you both, for almost a year. I never got close. I was bitten not long after. I looked for you even in my vampire years. I can remember almost all of my human memories with clarity. But you were always fuzzy; I thought maybe you were bitten too. So I continued to search until I was forced to war, seeing as I was a newborn. I never hunted though. I tried starving myself. So I could leave, but I couldn't. I was finally released, and I wanted a fresh start and my power was that I can appear as a newborn and that is when my not hunting became unbearable and I slipped. I went 6 months without hunting, but I grew weak. So, that is where I found Anna, her smell was mouthwatering, the best I ever smelled, I tried to stop but she was so…sweet, and I am thankful that Bella stopped me. But when the power is used I actually become a newborn. And that is why I am like this." Everyone starred and had mouths open.
"Why didn't you tell us?" I asked.
"I didn't think you would accept me, and if you would like me to leave, I will, I have what I have been longing to find. And now I can rest peacefully, knowing my Jasper is alive, or should I say my old Jasper." She started to get up but Jasper stopped her. He looked into her eyes and hugged her with much force.
"Is it really you?" He asked still not releasing her.
"Of course honey." She said with a laugh.
"You still call me that?" he said with a laugh too.
"What else will I call you? It hasn't changed." She said with a laugh.
"You looked for me, even when you were changed?" If Jasper could cry he would.
"Always." She almost promised. Someone cleared their throat and they finally released each other.
"I'm sorry everyone." Syd said as she backed away. I could see that she is finally happy, but it was shattered as Jasper stepped back to Alice. You could see pain cross her face, but I think I was the only one to notice it.
"Ducky, this is my mate, Alice." Jasper said with love in her eyes. I saw Syd's whole world get shattered. She looked like she died all over again. I could see she is devastated.
"Ducky?" I asked with a laugh.
"I first met her when she was on her break, she was behind my human house, at the pond. She was feeding the ducks. And it was her favorite animal so I call her ducky and she calls me honey for my hair." He laughed. But Syd just starred and tried to laugh, but it sounded broken.
"It is nice to meet you." Alice danced over. She tried to hug her but Syd ran faster than we ever saw. Jasper was about to run after her, but I stopped him.
"I'll get her." I said as I ran after her. It only took me about a minute to find her, she is about a half a mile out.
"Syd?" I asked. She didn't look though. Her legs were dangling off the side of a cliff. I saw the indecision in her posture. So I ran and sat next to her.
"What happened?" I asked.
"He broke my heart." She said while still not looking at me. "I loved him, I spent my human years looking for him, and before that I tried to make him mine. I wanted him to be happy, so I kept to myself. But I was broken when he left. I searched and searched." Her voice broke but she kept speaking. "Even as a vampire, my heart was his. So I searched for him. He still has my heart. And now it is gone. I bet he only talked to me because he felt sorry for me."
"He loves you, we can all see it. But he has moved on. He dealt with loosing his human self. He has a new life. He loves her, and if you love him, you should be happy for him, he loves you but he found new love, like you will do." I explained while holding out my hand.
"No, I can't he will always be my first and only love." She said while still not looking at me.
"What about Lanny? I think that is his name." I said with hope.
"I was trying to control myself. I can't like a dog. I love one, I am old fashioned." She stated.
"Come on, maybe not him, but there are plenty of vampires, maybe even humans." I said with a laugh.
"No." she said stubbornly.
"Well, you need to move on," I saw her head flinch when I said move.
"Maybe I should move." She said changing what I meant.
"No, you should stay." I said harshly.
"I would come back, now that I have him, I won't give him up, he might not be mine romantically, but as a friend, even though it will kill me." She said finally looking at me.
"So, you want to travel?" I asked.
"Yes." She said with a smile.
"Are you going to get over him?" I asked hopefully.
"No, but I will deal with it." She said. "I will be happy he is happy."
"That is a start." I said with a shrug, I grabbed her hand and pulled her back to the house.
Jasper's point of view"You are no newborn." I stated to Syd. Anna only moved her glance like everyone else to Syd.
"No, I am not." She said while looking down.
"Then why do you say you are?" I asked formally.
"Because I want a fresh start." She said as she moved her glance to me and flinched. "I am surprised you don't remember me."
"What?" I asked with a confused expression.
"Come on, even vampires can remember human memories, even if they are fuzzy." Syd explained.
"I don't get it." I stated.
"Before you left for war, which your parents knew about by the way, your sister had a nanny, one just 2 years older than you. I spent some time with you, we were like best friends.

So, that is where I found Anna, her smell was mouthwatering, the best I ever smelled, I tried to stop but she was so…sweet, and I am thankful that Bella stopped me. But when the power is used I actually become a newborn. And that is why I am like this." Everyone starred and had mouths open. It can't be Ducky. She died, I looked for her, for a little while. But she died. It was all over town. It can't be her.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Anna asked.
"I didn't think you would accept me, and if you would like me to leave, I will, I have what I have been longing to find. And now I can rest peacefully, knowing my Jasper is alive, or should I say my old Jasper." She started to get up but I stopped her. I looked into her eyes and hugged her with much force. It is her. Her eyes always said her feelings, and she has hope. It is her.
"Is it really you?" I asked still not releasing her. I can't believe it.
"Of course honey." She said with a laugh.
"You still call me that?" I said with a laugh too.
"What else will I call you? It hasn't changed." She said with a laugh.
"You looked for me, even when you were changed?" If I could cry I would. She cared?
"Always." She almost promised. Someone cleared their throat and we finally released each other.
"I'm sorry everyone." Syd said as she backed away. I could see that she is finally happy, but when I stepped next to Alice, it changed, I could feel pain coming off her in loads. I could see her expression change I saw fear, hate, and pain. Mostly pain.
"Ducky, this is my mate, Alice." I said with love in her eyes. I saw her stiffen and she looked away. She looked happy and completely happy and now it is different.
"Ducky?" Anna asked with a laugh.
"I first met her when she was on her break, she was behind my human house, at the pond. She was feeding the ducks. And it was her favorite animal so I call her ducky and she calls me honey for my hair." I laughed. But Syd just starred and tried to laugh, but it sounded broken.
"It is nice to meet you." Alice danced over. She tried to hug her but Syd ran faster than we ever saw. I was about to run after her, but Anna stopped me.
"I'll get her." She said as she ran after her. I still ran after them, throwing glances back, showing I would be fine. I ran about 100 feet back form Anna. She ran about a half mile out and stopped at a cliff.
"Syd?" Anna asked. Syd didn't look though. Her legs were dangling off the side of a cliff. I saw the indecision in her posture, and Anna could see it too. Like she is deciding if she wants to jump. I felt wrong for listening but I want to know what is wrong.
"What happened?" Anna asked worryingly.
"He broke my heart." She said while still not looking at Anna. I can't believe she said that, what could she mean, what did I do. "I loved him, I spent my human years looking for him, and before that I tried to make him mine. I wanted him to be happy, so I kept to myself. But I was broken when he left. I searched and searched." Her voice broke but she kept speaking. "Even as a vampire, my heart was his. So I searched for him. He still has my heart. And now it is gone. I bet he only talked to me because he felt sorry for me." I can't believe it. She loved me too. And she thinks I felt sorry for her. I cared completely. She was the most breath-taking woman I ever saw in my human years. I always thought she would think she is too old or something. She was 2 years older. She always seemed distant. I loved her so much…I still do…but I have Alice.
"He loves you, we can all see it. But he has moved on. He dealt with loosing his human self. He has a new life. He loves her, and if you love him, you should be happy for him, he loves you but he found new love, like you will do." Anna explained holding out her hand. I expected Syd to take it and agree. I always wanted Syd to be happy. To love someone as much as I loved her. As I still love her.
"No, I can't he will always be my first and only love." She said while still not looking at Anna.
"What about Lanny? I think that is his name." Anna said with hope.
"I was trying to control myself. I can't like a dog. I love one, I am old fashioned." She stated. I could almost laugh.
"Come on, maybe not him, but there are plenty of vampires, maybe even humans." Anna said with a laugh. The thought of Syd with someone else hurt.
"No." she said stubbornly.
"Well, you need to move on," I saw her head flinch when Anna said move.
"Maybe I should move." She said changing what Anna meant.
"No, you should stay." Anna said harshly.
"I would come back, now that I have him, I won't give him up, he might not be mine romantically, but as a friend, even though it will kill me." She said finally looking at Anna. I thought if I could cry I would. She will stand aside for me to have Alice.
"So, you want to travel?" Anna asked.
"Yes." She said with a smile.
"Are you going to get over him?" Anna asked hopefully.
"No, but I will deal with it." She said. "I will be happy he is happy."
"That is a start." Anna said with a shrug, Anna grabbed her hand and pulled her back to the house. I ran before they could finish the sentence. I went as fast as I could too the house and ran in, I just sat down when they came in.
"I am sorry everyone." Syd said as she looked around the room. When she saw me she turned her head. I felt hurt, like I could die. She hates me.
"It is no problem." Bella said.
"Alice, I am sorry, I am very happy for you too, I am glad honey has someone who loves him so much." Syd said with no emotion and shook Alice's hand. Alice knew she felt sad and pulled her into a hug. Syd flinched and Alice moved away and whispered an urgent sorry. Syd just nodded.
"Well, now we know Syd's story, how about Anna's." Carlisle said calmly. He knew something was different about Syd and me. Not a friendship, but he knew that is all it can be.
"Well, I lived by myself, and supported myself. A vampire tortured me a lot. She gave me scars. So I developed powers. I could never show skin because of the scars. I lived in fear. So I moved, found your family, and my creator found out, she made me move and then she died, Syd changed me and here I am." She said short and sweet.
"Well that is certainly an…interesting story." Emmett said sincerely.
"Yeah, I guess." Anna said while starring at Edward,
"What?" He asked.
"When I was human, I had developed powers. I could take other vampire and human powers. I don't know if I still can, but you, in your mind, thought about a human girl, talked about how you loved her, you lied to her, you miss and love her. What was her name?" Anna explained. Edward looked at Bella and she looked away.
"Ah, Bella was the human." She stated.
"Yes." Edward answered anyway.
"You feel love." She stated.
"How did you know?" Edward asked, I was about to ask too.
"I can smell it." She stated while laughing. I felt like I could laugh too. She is a smelling empathic…interesting.
"Cool." Emmett shouted. We all laughed. I looked at Syd, and she was looking away. I could tell she feels pain and betrayed. I feel like I did betray her. How will she forgive me?
I know it took me awhile to update…but I have a question. Should Jasper go to his Ducky- I really don't know where I came up with it, I was just thinking and thought it was cute- or should he stay with Alice, no matter what Alice will get a mate. And if it is even I will decide but I really want to know what you think. I don't want my readers to hate me if I make a rash decision. I want him to go with Ducky; but you will most likely decide!!!!! Come on people I need answers!!!! help me!!!!!!!!
