Chapter Three

Tanya awoke later that day, the sun shining at its brightest, the city underneath her loud and busy. She slowly picked herself up, dropping the blanket onto the bed before walking closer to the edge of the balcony, resting her hands against the railing before looking at the rest of the city, a sigh escaping her lips. She wasn't sure on what to do, claim her inheritance from Samantha and run for the hills? Remove herself from this world, no. Too many thoughts were happening at once in her head, she heard a vague knock, to which she turned back and headed inside of the room.

She walked towards the doors, slowly, the knocking getting louder and harsher on her ears. She finally yelled, ''Hold on, I'm coming..." The knocking stopped, she opened the door to be greeted by Alice, Jasper, Bella, Edward and a man she wasn't familiar with. She glanced at the for a minute, before stepping out of the way and opening the doors further, not saying much she waited for them to pile into the room before closing the doors behind her.

"How can I help you all?" She questioned curiously, watching the group slowly wander about the place as if they were inspecting everything.

"Well, it's about your inheritance really, Samantha entrusted Carlisle with giving it to you, because she didn't like your parents, at least from what she said." Edward spoke up, looking at her with a small smile, but his smile annoyed her. Tanya sighed, heading back out onto the balcony and gathering the items she left there before walking back into the living room.

"My parents aren't quite my real parents, so yes, no surprise." She said quietly, rolling her eyes before stuffing her cigarettes and lighter into the bag, taking out her wallet and opening it, her eyes scanning over the bills in it, tugging out a fifty dollar bill and sliding it into a pocket, closing the wallet and then heading for the door.

"I'll have someone drive me to your fathers place, I have some things to take care of." She said thoughtfully, hoping there was a clothing store nearby before her eyes followed the group walking out, watching as Edward nodded towards the group, as if saying everything was going to be okay.

Alice hung back a little whilst Tanya locked the door, before she leaned towards her, quietly saying, "There's a fairly cheap and good quality clothing store a few streets away from here, I could sneak off and take you there!"

Tanya pondered whether she wanted to take her up on the offer, before nodding, knowing that she wasn't familiar with the city and where anything was, which would also mean getting to their fathers home would be faster and a lot more simple.

"Yes, I'd appreciate that, I just need a few things." She finally smiled, but quickly retracted it, hoping the woman besides her didn't notice, before heading for the lift.

Tanya gave the key back and paid for the night she stayed there, her mind speeding things up again, a hundred things going through it at once before she was snapped out of it by a hand that was placed on her shoulder, she looked back to see Alice smiling at her, before gently pulling her to move. She was starting to have second thoughts about Alice coming along with her, but brushed it off, it'll be fine, she thought.

It wasn't very long until they had reached a small street full of clothing and shoe stores, her eyes slowly scanning over all of the names, before following Alice once again. She slowed her walking pace, before watching Alice sneak into an alley, which she still followed, only to see more, smaller stores every few meters. Alice looked back at her, grinning before walking into a store. Tanya shook her head, following in, to see that Alice was already talking to someone who later on during their stay had introduced herself and Linda.

The shopping trip was rather short, although Alice had Tanya try on many different things, Tanya managed to avoid purchasing most of them, getting only what she needed before telling Alice that it would be a good time to head back.

It wasn't very long until they were sitting in a car, heading back to Carlisle's place. Tanya was staring out of the window, vaguely paying attention to what she was seeing before she heard Alice speak.

"So, what do you think of Jasper?" She heard her ask, almost feeling that Alice had a grin plastered upon her face before glancing at her to see if she was right.

"Uh, we haven't talked much, but he's alright, I guess." Tanya was slow to response, she had to figure out a way to possibly not offend her and her family, seeing that she wasn't familiar with them very well and barely held an opinion.

Alice just nodded, before going back to being quiet. It was a relatively quiet and a calm ride up until the moment when Alice suddenly froze, Tanya took notice, almost immediately pulling the handbrake and grabbing onto the wheel to avoid the car crashing into a tree.

Tanya quietly and calmly spoke, "Alice..? Are you alright?"

She received no response for a minute before Alice finally blinked, confused before leaning back into the seat, staring at the road wide eyed.

"I'm so sorry, Tanya, I don't know what happened." She spoke, Tanya could hear that she held some anxiety to her tone.

"Let's switch, I'll drive, just tell me where to turn." Alice nodded, getting out of her seat to which Tanya followed and sat in front of the wheel. She waited for Alice to buckle her seat belt before starting the car and continuing on with driving. She took notice that Alice would freeze periodically, so she tried to keep a conversation going.

"So uh, how long have you been living in Forks?" The question was out of pure curiosity, because she had noticed how they didn't hang out with anyone, but themselves when she first went to school.

"Oh, almost 2 years now, not too long, Carlisle moves a lot, so there's not much we can do about this."

Tanya decided to stay quiet, she didn't want to pry too deep into their social and private lives, so she continued driving. She had noticed that ever since Alice froze in front of the wheel, there had been a weird lingering feeling deep inside of her, as if something wasn't going to go right, but she decided to brush t off. Following Alice's directions, they finally got home. The Cullen family already awaited them outside, some wearing a worried expression as Tanya slowly got out of the car, glancing at Alice.

"Well, uh, Carlisle, you might want to check on Alice, she sort of blanked in front of the car wheel." Tanya said quickly, hoping she wasn't meddling into something that's not her business only to feel her anxiety disappear slowly, she felt content suddenly, as if everything was going to be fine, she was confused, but she ignored it.

"Alice texted Rosalie while you were driving, explained what happened, I'll check on her once you're both inside." Carlisle was speaking much lower than he usually did, it almost sounded threatening.

Tanya didn't say anything, she tugged out her bag and the bag with clothes she had bought, slowly walking towards them before something struck her, she saw something oddly familiar about all of them, standing together in a group, she couldn't quite put her finger on it, shaking her head slightly she shrugged it off and walked into the house, feeling someone's eyes follow her. She decided it was best not to look back, never look back, especially if you feel like a pray in a spiders nest. The second she had thought that, she noticed Edward's composure change, his shoulders shaking whilst hiding his face into Bella's neck.

She ignored it, heading straight inside only to be greeted by a worried Esme.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" She felt her gentle hands on her shoulders, her eyes checking her all over.

"I'm alright, perfect, quite honestly. I do however need to take my medicine, I've been slacking." She murmured quietly before wiggling away from the woman's hands, slightly uncomfortable. As if trying to reassure the woman, she gave her a small smile, it was unusual, but Esme seemed to appreciate it.

"Well, let me fix you up some dinner, is there anything you would like, any favorites?" Esme asked her enthusiastically.

"Sorry, I'm not quite hungry." Tanya mumbled, seeing Esme's look change, almost waiting for her to start yelling at her.

"Are you sure? Not even a sandwich?" Was what she received instead, she looked genuinely surprised, to which Esme smiled, taking a hold of her hand and having her head to the kitchen with her instead.

"Well, alright, a sandwich is fine." She said, seeing the woman's smile grow if that even was possible, she seemed like the sun, so bright and full of life, she could never see herself that way, no, not possible at all.
