As soon as I saw a strand of white sliver hair, I bolted for the upstairs bedrooms, and locked my myself into the walk-in closest cowering in fear. I have explained this once before, I hate being human. Now everyone knows about my 'time of the month'.
My mane of sliver white hid my face completely, I laid there wallowing in my own misery, I didn't know if my human blood would cause my vampiric cousins to be thirsty,
"Elena?" I heard Aniu call out to me, as she was coming closer to my hiding place, "I know how you feel about being human, and the Cullens are just surprised about your transformation, please come out and talk to me,"
"No," I replied, as I didn't want anyone to see me like this,
"Well let me come in there with you," Aniu stated.
I uncurled myself and stood up to walk over to the door and unlocked it, held it open a little just enough to let Aniu in, then went back to sitting in the corner,
"I thought you were more mature then this," Aniu scoffed, she sat on her heels and stared at me,
"you don't understand," I muttered, it was hard on me, when I looked like this, I felt pain, all the emotions I kept hidden could surface.
"You know, your lack of confidence in the Cullens' control over their nature, is a little insulting?" Aniu asked, "you should know by now, they won't hurt you,"
"I know that, I'm just scared, I never transformed in front of them," I muttered,
"Nessie keeps replaying your transformation in everyone's mind, wanting to know what happened, you might want to tell everyone," Aniu stated. She stood back up and held out a hand to me, I looked at her hand then shallowing then took her hand, and she pulled me up, she let me walk out first, keeping three steps behind me and one hand on my shoulder, until we reached the stairs, she took her hand off as she held the railing on the way down, then replaced it back on my shoulder,
she kept her hand on me, as we walked into the living room, Alice danced up to me, and grabbed a piece of my hair,
"Its real?" Alice asked,
I glared at her, having no more then human strength right now, "Yes, my hair changes color, I don't need to dye it. Now can you let go."
"I don't understand, how is it you are human right now?" Nessie asked as she was sitting in Jacob's lap, on the other side of the room,
"I'm half human too, once a month I loose my demonic powers. It doesn't matter if I can't see the moon, my body knows when its time to change, and my demon blood goes dormant for the night," I explained, then looked down at the floor, "I try to stay away from everyone during this time, I feel weak in my human form, also I don't know if my human blood will make you all thirsty,"
"We have good control, over that part. Besides we're not really thirsty right now," Jasper stated,
"I'm surprised you have hazel eyes, they're very pretty," Alice stated as she stared at me,
"Thanks," I muttered, feeling like I was in a freakshow, "On the bright side of tonight, I bet you could See me?"
"I never thought of that," Edward stated, as he looked over at Alice, "Is it possible?"
"Don't know, at least we could try it out, that is if the wolves and Nessie stay here," Alice replied, "Decide something,"
I smirked and looked over at Emmett, I decided to jump onto his back and ask for a piggy back ride, something I always wanted to do, and just to be annoying.
Alice laugh filled the room just then, "I can See your future on your human night, and go right ahead, I love it!"
I smiled and ran to Emmett, jumping onto his back and putting my very best choke hold on it, even if my human strength was just at the age of fifteen year old, it was still good enough to hold on too.
"What are you doing?" asked Emmett as he reached up to throw me off, but a subtle hiss from Rose stopped him.
"I want a piggy back ride!" I giggled,
"I'm starting to think her half demon mind is more mature then her human mind," Edward stated, "This human Elena has the mind of a three year old,"
I turned to Edward and glared at him, sticking out my tongue.
"Elena, get down." Aniu growled at me,
"But I want a vampire piggyback ride," I pouted,
"Ladies and gentlemen, the heir to the Western Empire," Ryoichi stated as he leaned against the wall, with Shippo who was hiding a smirk.
"So cousin, what's the plan now, since I forgot about my human night." I asked of my cousin, who was on the demon side of the family.
"Yeah, about that...I have to personally go back and smooth over some ruffled feathers, fur, scales, among other skin types the demons have, my unscheduled departure, has caused problems. They are starting to think I'm out plotting against Lord-Uncle Sesshomaru." Ryoichi explained.
"Are you?" asked Shippo glaring at his nephew, I guess or would it be brother?
Ryoichi looked down, "I might, I have said it before, I have no desire to become Lord,"
"Also you won't find a suitable female as a mate, now would you?" Aniu asked, her tone was light and teasing, but carried a note of displeasure, my cousin was handsome as any male could get but unless he was Shay'a'chern, I tend to use wording from Mercedes Lackey, my favorite author when I think about people being with their own gender,
"Ryo, are you possibly um..liking the same gender as you are?" I asked
"Yes, I call myself Shay'a'chern, I don't think you know what it means do you?" Ryo asked,
"One who lover is like one's self," I answered, "I read Mercedes lackey too,"
"Good, my parents aren't too happy with my choice, but I'm glad it doesn't upset you, that your cousin is well not normal," Ryo asked,
"i don't mind at all, I don't care who or what you love," I answered as I went over and hugged him, "Besides don't you make a good shopping buddy?"
"Haha, funny. Alice has me beat, but I have a feeling once she sees the tailors that the royals have she's going to be green with envy," Ryo laughed while Alice glared at him.
"So its my job to sneak the first lot in, and what next?" Aniu asked
"we wait, until the rest come in, and then I make my announcement that I'm unfit for the crown," Ryo answered,
"That is when I walk in and lay claim right?" I asked,
"Yep, oh and dad sent you a gift." Ryo answered then he went to his bag that he brought with him, and pulled out a wrapped gift,
"This wouldn't be another dagger would it?" I asked as I slide down from Emmett's back,
"No its not a dagger, you haven't been using yours, why would he send you another one?" Ryo asked.
I shrugged then held out my hands, "give me,"
Alice looked over at Bella then, "Why couldn't you have the same appreciation for gifts?"
"because I don't like it," was all Bella would say,
I opened the fabric wrapping, and gasped at the cloth that was inside, it was forest green, my color. "Is this what I think it is?"
"Fur of the fire rat, still the strongest fabric known to demon kind, not even the humans can recreate it," Ryo answered,
"Now this is something, I would wear." I chirped, body armor, and able to protect me and anyone under it from fire.
"Fur of the fire rat?" Embry question,
"Pretty much, Demonic body armor, it can withstand heat and flame, and protect anyone under it, but it still cloth get a hole punched in your gut, and it doesn't do much." Aniu stated,
"Is it already made into clothes or do I have to find someone who sews?" I asked.
"Yes, its a haori and hakama, easier to run and fight in if you have too," Ryo explained. "Female version, it will grow with you, if you grow more,"
"Yes, because I hate being shorter then everyone, I'm even shorter then Alice!" I replied.
I raced upstairs to try on my new clothing, I twirled in front of the mirror looking at it from all sides, I giggled to myself, I looked just like a female version of Inuyasha, without the ears, of course.
"I want to see!" Alice's voice stated
"Fine," I replied as I left the bathroom, I might take to wearing this every day.
"Not bad," Embry stated staring at me, the clothing hugged the right parts, and make me feel grown up. Instead of looking like flat chested farm boy.
"Sit, I'm cold." I hinted, I curled up on Embry's lap as soon as he sat down, I found myself falling asleep on his lap and his snoring wasn't helping either, so much for being uneasy about being in a house full of bloodsuckers. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
