AN: Hey guys, sorry it took me so long to get up a new chapter, i've been really busy. Anyway, there's going to be a major time skip in this one, plus, you'll see Parker and Celeste (well Celetse mostly, Parker will next chapter) come out of their 19th century shells a little. Hope you enjoy it! (spoiler alert for my next sentance: is anyone else dissapointed that bella still wasn't a vampire at the end of eclipse?)
Disclaimer: If i own Twilight, or New Moon, or Eclipse, Jacob black would have gotten the crap beaten out of him by edward by now. (Edit: This Chapter's contents were updated 08-26-09)
Parker's POV
I had never experienced anything like that ever before in my life. I hadn't thought it possible to be filled with so much passion and love at one time. Boy, had I been wrong; that was nothing like the first time.
I still had a smile on my face as Celeste detangled herself from my arms. I never dreamed Celeste had so much energy in her. It was brilliant.
I was still smiling stupidly as my angel's gorgeous face filled my vision. "Satisfied?" She asked, grinning.
"Unbelievably." I replied, still too dazed to say more. She leaned down and kissed me passionately, only to pull away all to soon. Despite all my forwardness, I was, apparently, very masochistic. Celeste had me wrapped around her finger.
Gracefully she stood up and began to retrieve her discarded clothes. I pouted. I did not want her beautiful pale skin to be covered up with any type of fabric. Sighing in defeat, I pulled myself up of the ground and got dressed.
As I was buttoning up my shirt, I saw Claire stiffen out of the corner of my eye. Her eyes widened and her entire body became impossibly still. Oh, no. Celeste hadn't hunted yet, and if there was a human anywhere near here…
She flew into the bushes faster than anything I'd ever seen. I raced after her, relying on her sent to track her down. When I finally found her, my jaw dropped.
Celeste was in the middle of a clearing. Around her were the bloodless bodies of two mountain lions. I was completely lost. Vampires could survive off of animal blood? I smiled reassuringly at Celeste, who smiled tentatively back.
Who knew? Maybe eternity wouldn't be so bad after all.
144 Years Later
Celeste's POV
I stared blankly out across the road, lost in my thoughts. The cars flew past, not thinking twice about the lone biker stopped on the edge of the interstate. The overcast sky kept them from seeing me as more.
The corners of my mouth twitched up in a grin. It was interesting to think of how scared modern day humans would be if something meant only for science fiction and horror movies was suddenly standing in front of them. Yes, the twenty first century was much more amusing than the nineteenth. It was cleaner too, well, humans (and vampires) were. Personal hygiene had made some major break throughs: the air, not so much. At least it didn't smell like blood anymore.
I coughed as I hopped down from my balanced position on my bike. I pulled my jacket on and zipped it up as far as it would go. I put on my helmet and gloves, preparing for any sudden change in the weather.
I swung my leg over the seat and kick started my bike expertly. I let the engine idle quietly as I waited semi-patiently for a gap in the traffic. I pulled out quickly into a space that should have been to small, and accelerated as fast as my Honda would allow, zooming in and out of the empty spaces.
I was anxious to get to Washington. Parker was waiting for me in a town called Port Angeles. Supposedly my brother, Jasper, was living in a town near there.
Jasper was the only member of my family I had yet to track down. The others had been easy to find. Either they were dead, or through a series of events had been turned into vampires, which, surprisingly enough, had happened to the majority of my kin.
Of my six family members, four had ended up as vampires. My little sister, Sara, had been turned several years after the war by a vampire named Paul when she was 17. Other than that I really didn't know much about her, she was only five when I left with Parker and our relationship was still in the works.
All three of my brothers had been turned into vampires during the war. Adam was the first. His future mate, Alyssa, changed him after he had been wounded in the shoulder. Alyssa had said his blood turned her on…and not in a thirsty way. I scowled; I did not need to be informed of that particular piece of information.
Peter had been caught running through the woods. Apparently, he had tried to run away to avoid serving in the war. A lone vampire had run him down, but he'd somehow survived the attack. A few decades later he'd run into (literally, I was told) Jessica. They'd been together ever since.
I didn't have the details on Jasper yet. It had taken me a hundred and forty four years to find any information on him. Other than the fact that he'd disappeared during the war, I didn't know much. Hopefully I'd get to see him again soon. I really missed Jasper. I'd been closer to him than any of my other siblings, not to mention my parents. Losing touch with him had been the hardest thing to deal with.
About a week ago, I'd talked with a coven that said they'd seen him staying in a town called Forks in Washington State. I was skeptical. It was odd for a vampire to keep up a permanent residence. But Parker and I were headed there now to check it out.
I'd considered staying in Forks itself, but Parker wouldn't have it. The coven had also informed us of a pack of werewolves living in the reservation just outside the town. In truth this just made me want to go stay in the town more and see what kind of vampire my little brother had become that could manage living with humans and werewolves but...Parker had made me swear to stay outside the town. I'd told him I would, but curse him for knowing me too well. He hadn't believed me and was now coming along for the ride.
Quite personally I didn't see the big deal. As long as you could out run the wolves you were fine. Besides, they were adorable.
Parker didn't share my enthusiasm.
I swerved quickly to the left as I nearly drove into the rear end of a Toyota. I centered my thoughts on not hitting vehicles at high speeds or missing my exit. I may have had heightened reflexes, but I was not a mind reader.
I continued flying down the interstate, enjoying the sensation of wind currents rushing around my body.
AN: I hope you liked it! As you've probably guessed, Bella and the Cullen's will be coming up soon, though i can almost garuntee that they'll be a little occ.
Any way, please please please review...normally i try not to beg for reviews...but this is kinda depressing. Thanks to all those who have already reviewed!!!!
