Everything Changes

Chapter 1: The Past, Present and Encounters.

Amethyst POV

[Unknown date, Unknown location.]

I woke to the sweet sounds of birds chirping, but to my dismay they soon faded away into nothingness. I wanted to see bright sunlight, clear skies and the birds chirping outside the window but I was sure I wouldn't. My eyes fluttered open as they revealed my dark charcoal eyes; I winced slightly as they adjusted to the minimal light that surrounded me.

I had no idea where I was, the room was vaguely familiar but I could not pinpoint the exact location I was in. I licked my dry lips as I sat up the bed. My eyes scanned around me for my brother, or anything that could tell me where I was. It was the one problem I had with my gift; I could never tell whether I was a sleep and dreaming or facing reality. My brother was the only person there to tell me which one I was in.

"Jacen?"I called out, frantic that I had no sight of my brother. My fists gripped the shits tightly as I felt fear and worry fill me.

"Jacen!"I screamed this time, but no answer. Just the sound of my voice echoed into the wind. I looked at my hands that once gripped the sheets tightly and brought them up to my heart. My mind had raced to conclusions, my brother nowhere in sight and my heart had no pulse. The room began to grow brighter and soon I heard a door creak open. Slight and faint sound but it gave me some initiative to get up and wander instead of sitting there in self agony.

"Jacen?"I called out again before I rose from bed. My bare feet made no sound as they made their way to the doorway and soon enough I recognized the hall way. Where I once lay, was my parent's chamber. I knew I had traveled to the past in my sleep. Where exactly in my past, I could not pinpoint but curiosity struck me like lightning.

I used the walls as my support, making my way through the hallway before I stopped dead in my tracks. A room had my name printed on it on a sign. "Amethyst. A dreamer's world." I heard no sounds coming from that room, but from the one across from it, I heard screams.

I gasped as I opened the door across from mine. It was my brother's and I heard him scream. He was in pain, and in agony. Words could not express what I heard and as soon as my eyes fell on the scene I knew where in my past I had travelled to. The date, March 31 1983; the location, Elkins, West Virginia. It was the beginning of my nightmare.

I screamed as I watched my brother be brutally handled by a man-no no man could do that, he was a monster. His body was lifted into the air, his back pressed against the wall. Jacen was about 5'9 in height. I was only 5'3 and the man who held him, was a good foot taller than Jacen was. My hands clutched my head as I sunk down against the wall. My tearless sobs echoed in the room, muffled by my brother's struggles. His scream grew as I guessed he was being drained, I closed my eyes to forget what I was dreaming of.

But the moment I let my eyes close I heard a voice. A younger voice than my brother. Her words clear in my head as I had spoken it the day it happened.

"You let go of my brother right now!" A young girl, around age of eighteen, raven black hair covered her sea green eyes. The vision of myself, screamed at the man, throwing books that I had prized while I was growing up. As soon as the wind blew in through the room, he charged at her.

"NO!" I screamed but I knew no one in my dream would hear me, I knew what was coming next. I became a victim but something in the man knew he could not kill me or my brother. As after he bit me, he took a sip of my sweet blood he fled.

I sat there, watching two bodies scream in pain, in misery. As the transformation began to take place, pain was never how I envisioned my own end. I thought it would be swift and silent. My eyes never stopped looking at my own reflection. The vision of myself, alongside my brother; Shaking, crying..dying.

As the memory hit a hard part of me, I flinched and looked away, curling into a ball as I began to sob. No tears, escaped my eyes but I sobbed as my beat less heart ached.

The only thing that I hated about my gift was seeing the past of others or my own. Painful dark pasts that I wish I didn't have to bear witness to. The only person who can comfort me was my brother. He had no gift like mine but he understood my every need, my every emotion, my own pain and burden. We had never been separated. He was two years older than I was. Physically he appears to be, but in our current reality, he is only a few minutes older than I am after all we were reborn practically as twins.

As I let my mind come to its peace, I hear another set of voices. Not familiar ones, but rather new. Soft inaudible voices that spoke in the far distant that could not be picked up by human ears. My eyes opened as I came to view of a new location. It was a forest, and a few feet away from me stood four others. Two I was sure were our kind. One had blond locks; his mate had ginger colored ones. Another one seemed to be a half-breed. I scoffed at the thought of a half-breed but let it brush past me with ease, it didn't bother me only intrigued me. The last one brought a rather pungent repulsive smell to me. A leech.

I rose from my sitting position to walk closer to them; I looked up at the skies, gazing at the clouds before I determined my location was exactly a mile and a half away from where Jacen and I were staying. I could only guess I have returned to the present or something close to the present but not quite the future yet. I leaned against a tree, listening to their conversation but soon I heard another one coming I strayed. A female, but she was more interested in listening to her mate and another woman talk. The other woman was silent yet the male seemed to know what she was thinking. A reader, I supposed. The shorter girl must be communicating to him through her thoughts. But what got me interested was the fact the reader mentioned visions. I wondered how many more of them had abilities. I crept closer to them before I smelled two others not far from the house.

They must have their own coven. A strong one for that matter if they had so many gifted vampires with them. The Volturi? No. Too gentle to be Volturi guards. After all they walk with a half-breeds and werewolves. I look at the two men on the side hunting. One was particularly muscular, tall. Probably a foot or so taller than I was. The other, was almost his height, golden brown hair but something about him seemed off. Peculiar how he was restraining himself.

Then I remembered the two I saw with the wolf and the half-breed. Feeding on a deer, the brunette one listening in on the pixie girl and the mate had golden eyes. Vegetarians, I supposed. I never met any; I thought those were only rumors of others of our kind choosing the other way of feeding. Rumors I never thought were true until now.

As I took one more step, my dream changed its course taking me elsewhere. I was about to find out but the sudden motion of my brother's voice woke me from my dream. My charcoal eyes met with his bright red ones. His black hair was a mess, though I was sure human girls didn't mind how ragged he looked.

"It's time." Was the only thing he said before I nodded. I assumed I spoke to him in my dreams, telling him what was going on without me knowing it. It usually was like that, once I was dreaming, I lose all touch with reality. And Jacen can only muster up some of the mumbled sounds or words, which I made.

"How long have I been asleep?"I asked as I sat up the bed, glancing at my brother who still was unsure we were going to be doing the right thing.

"Three days. You mentioned school had started a day ago, in your sleep. I made the call to confirm it, made arrangements to be enrolled as well."

I nodded again, I remember I went into slumber September 5, It was probably the eighth today. Meaning we were following the right path. "Good, were on the right track."

"Get ready before I change my mind."

I laughed at his statement as I stood up from the bed. I made my way over to the bags we had packed during our last stay. Not many clothes were inside, I reminded myself to go shopping at some place nearby later on to buy fresh clothing. I just pulled on whatever made me look presentable, decent and fashionable in some way. It consisted of a pair of jeans, a smug button up top and a few pieces of jewelry that I had kept from my past.

Jacen never cared how he looks, threw on whatever he had and got outside to get his motorbike ready. He never fancied cars, nor did I but I assumed he only bought the car we owned for traveling purposes and just in case we needed two cars. If ever something happened like it had in the past. We had enough savings and money to afford so many luxuries but we kept it minimal and bought one motorbike and the '97 mustang a year and a half ago. Since travelling on a motorbike was definitely not an option going cross country.

As I finished, I grabbed whatever Jacen had gotten ready for me and headed out the small cottage house we lived in and to the back of the motorbike. He wouldn't let me drive the motorbike even though I knew how; Jacen thought it was unlady like to be driving one. I thought it was simply because it was his precious baby and the mustang was mine.

After a short ride, I found myself in the midst of a school building. I wasn't breathing, and my brother stood next to me restraining himself as much as I did. I walked hand and hand with him, avoiding physical contact with most of the people passing me. I would rather not have a vision of them. I learned that if I come in contact physically with anyone in a vision, or in reality, I began to be able to see their pasts. I only really wished to see the future or the present but there was no way out of their past once I touched them.

I snuck a glance at the things we held. Notebooks, A few books, a class schedule and a late to class pass. I safely assumed I would have to endure similar classes as I had in the years before. My brother and I would be attending Astoria High School. It was filled with humans looking about our age, ridiculous idea but it was not the first.

Our diet consisted of humans, yes. But we often fed off dying or old aged humans. Not as sweet as younger prey but we refused to hear them cry or scream. It has happened before that I dreamt of our victims past and how vicious our feeding was. So for my sake, we changed our diet slightly. It was enough to keep us through the day living amongst humans.

We've attended school twice before. Once in Michigan and once in Massachusetts, we survived till graduation with no casualties. Perhaps because my brother and I had more self control than others of our kind. But we soon found ourselves in danger when my brother and I slipped during a quick stay in Tennessee. That was the first time we made a mistake, and from then on made sure we wouldn't again.

After our transformation, we were in hiding. Discovering our new found lifestyle. We spent three years hiding in exile, confused and scared. Then I developed my gift, which we then used to our advantage. We were no longer scared and began to branch out. We met others of our kind on the borders of Kentucky; vile as they are they made use of my gifts and taught us what we needed to know. That was until one of them tried to get more from me and my brother made sure he burned in hell. Literally.

I smirked at my thoughts but looked up as I heard my brother speak.

"This is dangerous." He spoke with such hush tones that no human could pick up, even if they tried.

"It'll be fine." I reassured a coy smile on my lips as I kept a close eye on where I was going.

"We are going to cross paths with them. I can't exactly say it will be fine." I could feel him tense at the mention of them. I knew exactly who he talked about, the coven I saw in my dream. He was worried it could cost us our lives, or something along those lines.

"Just act casual." I answered nonchalantly. I knew he wasn't going to give in to me and be fine with it. Jacen was stubborn.

"You are in a lower grade than I am. There are plenty of them. You cannot protect yourself and we are lying out numbered."

"They won't hurt us. If ever, they will question us." I answered, it was true. The dream I saw a day ago consisted of them, face to face with me and my brother. I couldn't figure out what they were saying. They were still vague in my dreams.

"We do not follow their diet. We feed on humans. You have not hunted; entering a class filled with humans is dangerous." Of course, I had slept far too long to go on a hunt. We were chasing time, yet another bad effect of my gift.

"You have such low faith in me brother." He shook his head at my answer, he was partially right. What I was doing was dangerous but I trusted myself. I couldn't live another day if I saw myself attacking another again.

"You saw them, interrogating us. You did not see how it ends or how it began."

"It ends peacefully." I said with a smile as I turned to him, he needed to learn to trust me. But I do understand his fears. This would be our first time being in different classes and different grades. We often said we were twins but we chose a different route this time.

"Optimistic aren't we?" He replied, ah yes the usual response to my unusual bright hopes.

"Pessimistic doesn't suit me, nor does it to you. I beg you; please try not to start a riot." I answered as I stopped in front of the door. Room 214, Chemistry.

"I won't raise hell unless it is needed. Here is your class, I believe. Keep safe my sister." Jacen informed me, placing a brotherly kiss on my forehead that made the girls swoon and gossip.

"Thank you, now I believe you should be heading to class. Be a good boy brother and go." I responded, waving my hands as I made my gesture for his departure.

"Fine, remember. If anything comes as trouble, I will be there to protect you." He added before taking his leave, walking down the hall way. Smirking as he knew the reaction girls made when he passed them.

I rolled my eyes as I walked into the room, but somehow I stopped and was still as can be. I remembered the golden haired boy from moments ago when the present was my vision but now he sat in the back of the class. Looking restrained as he sat with the brunette that was listening in to the pixie girl. I showed no signs of anger, instead a smile was on my lips. I watched them closely as I handed the slip to the teacher, and then moved back to the empty seat in the table next to them.

I learned about chemistry during our stay in Michigan, and judging by the annoyance in the golden haired boys face, he had endured chemistry longer than the brunette and myself did. I was smirking throughout the class time; my hands were in front of me, gripping tightly as I controlled myself. I was watching them from the corner of my eye, every move. The two whispered softly to each other as if I hadn't caught every word. The brunette mildly intrigued me, but not as much as the honey colored boy.

The girl that sat beside me sprayed on perfume on herself. I nearly gagged at the smell, looking away. I could feel the girl give me a weird look, but it was followed by adoration and idolism. Humans, always end up starring at our kind. It was no wonder why half the class stared at me and the two others.

As class ended I rose from my chair, only to bump right into the honey colored boy. His skin was smooth, and from up close his eyes were topaz and beautiful. It was mildly threatening how I spotted his scars, but his eyes drew me to him. Maybe, taking his diet would give me those same eyes but I doubt I could live with just filthy animal blood.

"Sorry."I spoke, softly. Not trying to raise any sort of arguments. It was not in my intentions to anyhow.

"Jasper?"The brunette one asked from behind, flashing me a faint smile which made my own smile fade and turn into a scowl.

"Bella, Jasper." A third one chirped in. I recognized him as the male the pixie girl was speaking to. The reader. I didn't see him come in class, but I assumed he had heard their thoughts and saw me as danger.

My charcoal black eyes glared at all three of them, and were met with equal fury glares from the two males.

"Edward."I heard the brunette call back to her mate. However, he didn't back down. My throat burned to hiss at them or lunge but I knew it wasn't my place to do so.

"Amethyst."I heard my brother call, his hand on me protectively. He sensed my danger, either that or he had seen the reader enter the room and followed soon after him.

"I'm fine, Jacen. Just making friends." I responded as I made a swift move to remove my brother's hold on me, and walk away. I heard my brother hiss at them and the two males did the same. I shook my head, in disapprovement as I walked alongside him again.

"No need to be vile, Jacen. They're not threatening." I informed him

"No, not yet they aren't."

I sighed and shook her head yet again at my brother. I looked back over my shoulder as I saw the three standing there watching me and my brother.

I locked eyes with the reader; I smiled softly as I began to pass him my thoughts. Words, my brother will learn about later.

"There is no war to fight. My brother and I are not going to harm humans. We know of your coven and would like to make peace with you. Please pass on my words to your father."

As we made way further down I finally heard the reader, Edward and the boy named Jasper talk. The brunette had disappeared, leaving the two men alone to converse amongst themselves about us.

"We'll tell Carlisle about what she told me. Alice already said she saw us meeting them. But there is no telling whether or not they are a trustworthy or not."

"Her eyes, were pitch black. His were crystal red. They do not follow our diet. It's dangerous what they're doing."

"Jasper, the other girl has a gift. She knows of us somehow. We cannot underestimate them nor can we say if they are enemies or not. As of right now, we can only observe. The male doesn't seem to have any intentions of hurting us unless we do something to the girl. I was watching him and his thoughts in class, he had no intentions of attacking any of them, and the girl had no intentions of fighting with you or Bella. But we need to be cautious. We'll talk to Carlisle about it tonight. See what happens."

"It's not the boy that I find a threat. The girl, she's different. Her emotions aren't natural."

"Well, I guess the empath has met his match. Let's go, before everyone else raises question."

Pixie's Note: WOOH! There's that story. Hope you guys enjoyed it. I tried my best to include Amethyst's gift and explain it a long with a semi-back story about the two. We'll know more about them as time passes. I'm trying to see if I could maybe draw a picture of Amethyst and Jacen for you guys, but I'm lazy. -.- I know sorry!

Anyhow REVIEWS would be awesome.

Next Chapter is from Emmett's point of view. And it'll involve the Cullens, possibly Amethyst and Jacen. We'll see. So yeah that's it, I have to finish my final edits on "The Sounds of May"'s next chapter and update that. So PIXIE OUT!
