Chapter 36 – A New Life Part 2

Sam's POV

"The next day after the celebration, Lucas and I went over to La Push for work at Jacob's shop where they fix cars." Nessie said.

"On the way, Nessie filled me in on the supernatural; true facts about vampires, the gifts, the Volturi, our 'cousins' and Jacob filled me in on the shape-shifters and the treaty." Lucas said.

"Then while we were on break, Sam and his pack came to check on Lucas." Jacob said shaking his head along with Lucas.

"What did Sam do now?" Charlie asked in disbelief.

"Oh Sam, didn't do anything, it was Collin Littlesea." Lucas said. "You see he behaved just like Jacob behaved before about vampires since I'm friends with Jacob as one and then he took it too far by calling Nessie a freak thus causing me to snap."

"Unbelievable!" Charlie said shaking his head. Man, haven't we gotten over this feud. I guess not to some people.

"Next thing that happened was that Lucas and Collin got into a fight when Collin phased." Jacob said. Oh no. "Lucas was still new at the whole vampire thing so he had no chance against Collin until just when Collin was about to jump on Lucas, he got bounced off."

"How?" I asked. At least I know that Lucas was okay.

"A little help from my aura." Lucas said.

"Your aura?" Mom asked.

"Yeah, that's my gift." Lucas explained. "It was the reason why none of the other's gifts had any effect on me even when I was human. My aura protects me just like Bella's shield only it also protects my whole body which means Jasper can't feel my emotions and Alice can't see my future. They can use their gifts on me if I turn off my aura. And like Bella's shield, my aura can be penetrated by Nessie's gift."

"That is so cool!" Tori said.

"That's not all I could do. I can see everyone's aura." Lucas said.

"Really?" Austin asked.

"Yeah, like I can see your guys' auras right now to know your emotions." Lucas said turning to some people. "Like Russell now is so into it looking excited, Esme showing her love for me and the others, Alice's craziness with her energy, and then Sam who is blushing like crazy about me." He said turning to me as I turned red in embarrassment while everyone laughs minus Krystal. Oh my gosh, now I can't hide my feelings about Lucas.

"I can also see your guys' aura to know if you're up to something and if you're lying." Lucas then smirked. "And I can do this." He held his hand out quickly aiming at Emmett and a light blue orb shot out of his hand hitting Emmett right in the face.

"OW!" He cried as all of us laughed. "Why is it always me?!"

"I told you its fun." Lucas laughs.

"That was AWESOME!" Russell said.

"What was that?" Asher asked.

"That was my aura sphere." Lucas smiled as he held out his hand again holding out the so called aura sphere before it disappeared. "By using some of the aura from within my body, it makes a great weapon."

"How did you get your gift Lucas? Didn't they say something about having to possess a gift from your human trait or something?" Dad asked.

"Yeah, it's not only from my martial art skills that make me the best fighter in the coven but because of my dad." Lucas said.

"It's your father's cop senses." Charlie stated, not a question. Oh that thing.

"Cop senses?" Renee said looking very confused.

"Kendall had a skill where he can detect something from his surroundings and read the person's body behavior and that skill was passed down to his son." Charlie explained. "Kendall wouldn't stop bragging about it when they were in Forks." He said shaking his head while chuckling.

"Yeah and it's because of my vampirism that my cop senses were enhanced." Lucas said chuckling. Wow, Lucas just never fails to amaze me.

"After we found out what Lucas can do, we helped him learn how to use his gift." Carlisle said. "He was able to master them very quickly."

"But the best part was when Jacob tried to kill Lucas." Bella said laughing.

"What for?" Asher asked.

"When I read Lucas's mind, I told Jacob that Lucas kissed Nessie." Edward said chuckling.

"You what?!" Charlie asked looking at Lucas.

"It was on the forehead, thank you Edward for leaving that out and almost having my head ripped off." Lucas said glaring at Edward as the others chuckles.

"Anyway, a month has passed since I've been living with the Cullens and we've been close." Lucas continued. "I even ran into Charlie who I was surprised to realize Bella is his daughter I never met. Things have been going well until…"

"Until what?" I asked.

"Nessie was kidnapped." Carlisle said causing Jacob to pull Nessie close to him.

"What? By who?" Ellie asked.

"Hold on, I thought Alice can see the future." Dexter said. "Shouldn't she have seen that?"

"Somehow I was blocked out from seeing Nessie's future." Alice said.

"We were trying to figure out who took Nessie when suddenly we were ambushed by a group of invisible vampires." Jacob said causing us to gasp. Wait, invisible?

"Hold on second, how did you know about that and how did you survived?" I asked.

"Let us explain about whom it was that ambushed us before we go on." Edward said. "First there's Niall; he can turn into black smoke when he runs very fast and can use that smoke to block us from using our senses on them and also our gifts. Then there's his sister May; she can turn herself and others invisible." Wow, and I didn't mean wow as in cool to them.

"But then how did you all survived if those guys had everything calculated for the ambush?" Dexter asked.

"That would be me." Lucas said. "I can see their auras even if they're invisible. So because of me, and Edward who gave everyone the heads up, we caught the ones that ambushed us, revealing themselves, including May and Niall and got them to confesses that the Volturi sent them to destroy us after kidnapping Nessie."

"The Volturi were behind it?" Mom asked.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Charlie said looking pissed. Yeah, I can't believe the Volturi did it! I thought I've heard the last of them.

"Once we found out it was the Volturi who took Nessie and disposing May and Niall and the others, all of us flew to Italy and confronted them." Edward said. "They were very surprised to see that we survived the ambush. That was because they never knew about Lucas."

"We told them to hand over Nessie but they claimed that she 'wanted to joined their coven.'" Jacob said.

"Why would you want to join the Volturi when you said no?" Elena asked Nessie.

"That was against my will." Nessie said as she shuddered when taking a deep breath. "May and Niall had another sibling; Olivia. She has the gift of hypnotism. I was under her control to be a part of their coven."

"However, I was able to save Nessie by getting Olivia to lose her concentration shooting an aura sphere at her and freed Nessie from her control along with the Volturi's." Lucas said earning a smile of gratitude from Charlie, the same with Edward and Jacob. That is so amazing of Lucas. He's a hero.

"Once we had Nessie back on our side with her own free will, we were about to leave with Nessie where she belongs with us, but Aro states that if he can't have her, then neither could we and ordered the guards to kill us." Carlisle said. Man Aro is just as stubborn as Bella. Edward turned to me nodding his head as he chuckles before he spoke next.

"The Volturi may have outnumbered us, but they were outmatched since Lucas taught us his fighting skills that helped us put up a good fight." He said. "We were at a slight advantage when Alec's gift stopped us and we were held down by the guards."

"Really, how come neither you nor Alice saw that coming?" Ellie asked.

"And I thought Bella's shield blocks Alec's gift." Renee said. Yeah now we're back to the whole confusion.

"They had a guard who can disable our gifts which should answer your questions." Edward said. "However, that guard thought he didn't had to use it on Lucas since he only saw him use his aura spheres which was why Lucas is the only one standing, guard free thanks to his aura." Alright, Lucas is about to save the day. There's no doubt about that.

"I was struggling on what to do since the Cullens were held hostage. Aro, no surprises there asked me to join the Volturi and obviously I said no." Lucas said. Of course he would say that. Lucas is too smart to join Aro after what he did to the Cullens. "Then, Aro said I looked very familiar." Now we were curious what Lucas said.

"I looked into Aro's mind," Edward said and then gritted his teeth. "And found out the truth."

"What truth?" Nina asked and Edward then turned to me.

"Sam, do you remembered what you were doing on the night Lucas lost his family?" He asked. I was surprised I was brought into this as everyone turned to me. I thought back trying to remember what happened.

"Well Tiffany and Lucas went to Bri's White-Out party on that night and I was hanging outside at Tiffany's balcony," I said slowly. "That's when I heard screaming and a gunshot and then the fire started." I thought more and remembered something. "I thought I saw someone coming out of Lucas's house but I couldn't tell because it was all a bit of a blur."

"You were right; you did saw someone." Edward said and I looked at him. "You saw Aro, Marcus and Caius."

"WHAT!"

"The Volturi killed Kendall, Jessica and Lilly?!" Charlie asked looking outraged.

"That's terrible!" Trina said.

"How could they?" Nina asked.

"What were they even doing in our neighborhood?" Mom asked. Yeah, what brings these murderers to Lacey all the way from Italy?

"They heard about May, Niall and Olivia and wanted to recruit them. On the way, they got thirsty so they quickly made a stop to Lucas's home." Edward said shaking his head.

"I can't believe them!" Asher said.

"I'm so sorry Lucas." Renee said as we all turned to see him having his fists tightened as he started crying while Krystal was rubbing his arm. Poor Lucas, no wonder he has a grudge against the Volturi. I really hate the Volturi! Look at what they did to Lucas; he had everything and they took that away from him.

"Those so called foundation of our peace and civilization took away the people close to me." Lucas said as he reached into his shirt and pulled out a locket and opened it. I have no doubt what he's staring at; the picture of Lucas and his parents and Lilly.

"So what happened after that?" Elena asked.

"When Lucas found out that the Volturi killed his family, he went on a rage, taking down every guard and members of the Volturi single-handedly." Jasper said. Oh my gosh.

"Okay, I don't know if that should be cool or scary." Russell said.

"Kinda both." Emmett said.

"Lucas fought the Volturi himself as we all broke free. Lucas was heading towards Aro and I saw a vision of what the outcome would be if Lucas kills him and it's not good." Alice said. "I told Carlisle and he was able to stop Lucas just as he had Aro pinned to the wall."

Okay I know Aro is a sick cruel man but I'm glad Lucas didn't kill him.

"Well, Nessie was the one who was able to stop Lucas." Carlisle said.

"That was because he thought I was Lilly." Nessie said.

"I always thought of you as my sister don't I?" Lucas said giving her a small smile as Jasper spoke.

"Aro reluctantly let us all go and we were all just leaving when Lucas's rage came back." Oh no. "We tried to hold him back and when he broke free, he went unconscious."

"I thought vampires don't sleep and such." I said.

"Somehow Lucas has those human emotions inside him from the love he has for his family." Carlisle said.

"Let's not forget that he actually produced tears." Bella said. Wow, Lucas must be one unique vampire.

"We all flew back to Forks after that… crazy event with the Volturi." Nessie said. "As soon as we returned home, Lucas left?"

"You left them?" Bryce asked him.

"For only a week." Lucas said.

"Where'd you go?" Jalen asked. I think I know where he went.

"I went back to Lacey to see Tiffany, my friends and everyone I knew there one last time since I didn't want them to be suspicious of my appearance and that I'm staying with the Cullens making up a story that we would be traveling together one day." Lucas said. "After that, I went to my family's grave where surprisingly, I saw them. It's really hard to explain about that. Anyway, remember I tried to commit suicide but failed? They were the ones that stopped me."

No way. That is so crazy.

"After knowing that my family will always be with me, I went back to Forks and notified Edward of my return since my aura was on the whole time." Lucas said. "I told the Cullens where I was and I officially became a part of their family since then. And I'm grateful to be a part of it." He said smiling to the Cullens. Wow.

"Well we're glad to hear that Lucas." Dad said smiling to him as everyone else did the same.

"Thanks Hayden." Lucas said. I'm really happy for Lucas. I'm glad he found the Cullens. They'll like a family to replace his own but not in a bad way. It's something that Lucas needs.

"So what happens next?" Nina asked as the twins looked excited to know.

"Oh the next one is my all time my favorite because – OW!" Emmett cried when Lucas shot an aura sphere at his head.

"How about you let me and Krystal tell the story, you big idiot?" Lucas said getting annoyed.

"This oughta be good." Jalen said excitedly.

"How about you tell everyone about yourself before we tell the story, beautiful?" Lucas said giving Krystal a kiss.

Krystal looked like she blushed as she nodded her head. I looked at the clock and its eight thirty. Are you serious?

Next up, Krystal's life. Please review.
