Seth
"Come on Seth!" Nessie yelled behind her as she and Jacob ran to her car to go get lunch, but I wasn't going to go with them. Nessie wanted to go out to eat, as she always does, but I always like to stay in for Esme's home cooked meals. For someone who doesn't eat, she sure does make the best food.
I entered the Cullen house to see Alice laying on the couch with Jasper rubbing her feet. In a blink of an eye she was in front of me to engulf me in a hug. I ignored her ridged cold body, and sticky sweet, scent, and hugged her back. Some things you will never get used to being around vamps. She flinched back and looked me in the eyes, but it was as if she was looking at something else. Her mouth was slightly opened.
Edward blinked into the house and he was staring at Alice. She must be having a vision and he's reading her thoughts.
"Is that what I think it is?" Edward asked, and Alice just nodded.
"Aro and Sulpicia have a daughter," she then replied.
"How is that even possible?!"
"Everything was so fuzzy," she said, "Like it is when I try to see Renesmee's future, but they were holding her, and loving her just like Edward and Bella do."
"Why did you get the vision unless it pertained to us? You haven't been watching them have you?" Edward asked, concerned.
"I got it when I hugged Seth," she said with a confused look on her face.
"What do I have to do with this?"
Scarlett
I am a freak. Neither human, or vampire, but somewhere in between. At the age of six, I look like a blossoming 17 year old, but I have the mind of a twenty-five year old, and yet my parents treat me as if I am still they're little girl. How can I even discover who I am when they treat me this way, and they keep me in this empty castle as a prisoner.
I zoned back in to my father screaming at me while my mother just eyes me with a disappointed look on my face.
"What made you think it was a good idea to just over power your guards, and sneak off while you have no protection?!"
"I needed to get away! I'm so tired of constantly having a wall of men around me! This isn't life, this is prison!" I yelled right back.
"We were going to give you lenience, and then you ruined it by sneaking off with a vampire you don't know! You aren't as strong as him, and you're lucky we found you because he attacked you!" my father yelled right back, "You can forget about even going into the city with the guards for now on! You're forbidden to leave this castle! Demetri will now be with you wherever you go. You are not to be out of his sight except to go to the bathroom."
I turned away and limped to my room crying, and I didn't stop at my mother yelling at me to come back. She isn't even my real mom! I'm just some freak science experiment. No one in the castle truly likes me, they just don't say anything because of who my father is. I sat at my vanity and looked at my reflection. I looked disgusting with blood across my chest, thick dark bruises were around my neck, and hair frazzled. In appearance, I look like a human. I have chocolate brown, wavy hair that goes to my waist because my parents don't let me cut it short. My eyes are large and forest green, and I have perfectly arched eyebrows. My face is heart shaped and I have plump red lips. I stroked my hand across my cheek to see the blood rise to the top, but then I opened my mouth and quickly swiped my fingers against the edge of my teeth. I winced in pain and observed my finger, which now looks like it was sliced by a razor, and blood started to trickle out. If it weren't for my teeth, my strength which stronger than any human, and my powers, I would be a normal human. If I didn't have human qualities, I would be a vampire, but I'm stuck somewhere in between. I laid down in my king sized bed and curled up in my red silk sheets, and black comforter. Hopefully, my crippling anxiety will go away someday, but not tonight.
Previously that day..
"Hey Felix," I purred to him.
"Your powers won't work on me Scarlett," he laughed, "You aren't strong enough."
"I just think you need to be more relaxed, don't you?" I smiled as I slid my hand on his shoulder, and I could see it was finally starting to work on him. His muscles became less tense, and he even started to wear a slight smile.
"Better?" He just nodded.
"I want you to let me go into town, just for a little bit while the sun is still up. Dad will be okay with this I'm sure, and if he asks just tell him I will be back at sundown."
"Okay be back at sundown, I'll be here," Felix said and in less than a second, I was out of the castle.
The smell of the city overwhelmed my sense and I had to squint my eyes against the unfamiliar brightness. I was captivated of the beauty of the outside. I stood and looked out at the bright blue sky that had little white wisps of clouds across it.
People were crowding the streets, and I knew that until sundown, I was finally free. The problem my parents have with a guard full of vampires is that they can't catch me during the day. They would never risk the exposure of vampires.
I found a nice little restaurant a few blocks away, and sat in a reserved booth. I never paid attention to the name, but the smell always enticed me from the castle.
A cute little waitress came up to me, "What do you want to drink, sweetie?"
"Water is fine," I smiled, I didn't want to destroy my body with sugary caffeine.
"Do you know what your parents would want? Since they aren't here yet?"
"They will not be joining me, but thank you," I replied. She gave me a funny look and walked away. It must be abnormal for kids to go places without their parents. She brought me water, and I later ordered a cheese pizza. Apparently this was a pizzeria and when it was plopped in front of me, my stomach growled with delight. I decided to sit and enjoy listening to all the conversations around me. There was a couple begging they're crying toddler to try the pizza. At another table, I saw an elderly couple throwing straw wrappers at each other. Their faces were filled with so much joy. My heart twanged in sadness, for I knew I would never be that age, and my family would never allow me to love. I was allowed to watch movies, and they all had that reoccurring theme. Love.
I would love to have that kind of love.
Before I knew it, the sun was down, and the waitress had stopped serving me, but she had told me I could stay as long as I liked.
I know only going to a pizza shop isn't very exciting, but I was captivated by everything going on around me. There was so much life.
Suddenly, a boy around eighteen or nineteen sat in front of my table, but he wasn't just a boy, he was a vampire. I could see the red eyes behind his colored contacts.
"Well, well, what do we have here?"
Assuming it was one of my father's guards I immediately started pleading with him, "Please, don't take me back to the castle yet, I told Felix that I would be back by sundown."
"Well it's a little late, don't you think?" He smirked, "Besides, I don't work for those stingy people, but what I am curious about is why a human like you would be worried about having to be back at a place run by vampires."
I put my hands on his smooth, cold hands that were rested on the table. There was something very dark about him.
"I'm not a human," I said. I tried to calm him, but I could feel the suppressed rage
Just because I wasn't as strong as vampires didn't mean I couldn't handle myself. I have been training with my powers by myself, and my father has made me take self defense classes my entire life.
My powers started out with only being able to control weaker minded vampires with the touch of my hands, but I slowly was able to control more powerful vampires with my hands, and then soon enough I was able to control them with just my mind. It's like I'm charming them. I make them feel comfortable and then I can make them feel a certain way or do a certain thing by just telling them to. The only problem is I can only do it to one person at a time, and the charm doesn't last very long. Felix has probably snapped out of it and is looking for me by now.
"I need to go," I said and I tried to stand up, but he grabbed my wrists, tightly.
"How about we go somewhere a little more private?" He said in a slithering tone. His eyes darkened and I was terrified. It's like my charm didn't work on him at all.
And then he grabbed me and started running at vampire speed. I was overpowered and my heart clenched with fear.
We arrived in a hotel and he threw me on to the bed, his hands around my neck. He wasn't squeezing, but he was holding me there as he peered over me. He leaned in and smelled my neck, and a shiver went down my spine.
"You smell like nothing I've ever smelled before, what are you?" He asked.
Afraid he would kill me, I cooperated and told him the truth.
"My father was a vampire and my mother was a human."
He gazed at me in thought, "And who is that vampire daddy of yours?"
I didn't answer. With my father being in the position of power that he was in, I could be in even more danger telling him who I am. He tore my white blouse open, and buttons went flying. Goose bumps rose and he pulled out a small pocket knife, and in a flick of the wrist, there was a thin slash across my left breast, Blood started to trickle out, and lowered his head and licked a small bit. I struggled against him, but the more I struggled, the tighter his hold was on me. He looked me in the eyes, and suddenly his emotions came at me like a wall. Hunger. I panicked, but the feelings were so overwhelming, I couldn't move.
He then bit in that same spot and I screamed again. Nothing I tried was working. He was just too strong.
He was then ripped off of me, and in an instant, Demetri and Felix had them in their hold, and ripped his head off of his body.
I tried to sit up, but there was excruciating pain in my ribs, and I had to lay back down. My breast was on fire.
"I feel like I'm on fire!" I cried and held my hand against my bleeding breast.
In an instant Demetri had me pinned down, his lips to my breast, and he started feeding from me. With him I felt something different. I have always admired Demetri, but in the past few months, I have felt differently towards him. I always stammer, and my stomach flips. And now he was pinning me down with his cool lips on me. I gasped, but the burning was fading away. He then licked his tongue across the wounds. My heart clenched, and I had to squeeze my legs together. I blushed, for I have never felt this before. I felt as though I was going to hyperventilate.
"Is there any burning sensation left?" His red eyes gazed upon me with concern. His lips were covered in my blood, and I could also feel the hunger in him, but he was suppressing it. Demetris feelings were typically hard to feel, but with him on top of me I could feel everything all at once. It was like I was in his body. Hunger, anger, concern, more anger, and something else that made me need to bite my lip so I couldn't sigh out loud.
He cleared his throat and stood up. He grabbed my dark red robe that was tossed on the ground, and put it around me.
That's when the yelling began.
"Why did you use your powers on Felix?"
"Did you even try to fight back?"
"Why did you decide it was just okay to be around a vampire you don't know?"
"This is exactly why you have guards around you most of the time! Now you aren't going to have any free time!"
And after both of them were done chewing me out, they both decided that I was immediately going home to speak to my father.
Demetri cradled me, and I winced.
"I'm sorry," he gave me a pained look, "I didn't mean to hurt you. In a few short minutes we were to be back home, and I was to deal with my parents.
