"What did you say?" Baa, and Cathy were on their feet and so was Roxy. She smiled at them, but it was no returned.
"Come on, guys you knew about this." Baa and Cathy still had a fire in their eyes as they gazed at their eternal friend. The look on their face clearly stated they knew nothing. "Nevermind." Roxy quickly said. An angry Cathy flew cross the table and tackled her to the ground.
"You didn't!" Cathy's powers had allowed her temporary insight into Roxy's thoughts. Roxy fought uselessly beneath her; she was a normal vampire she didn't posses superhuman strength like Roxy.
"Cathy! Tell me so I can join in this little brawl here!" Baa demanded standing over the two. The Cullens stepped back, and Nathan stayed seated. One thing you never do is get between a fight among sisters.
"That's it! Get off me!" In a blink of an eye Cathy and Baa flew across the room and were stuck to the wall with their hands bound to their sides. "My god! You think I would have committed some awful crime instead of help your asses out!"
"Roxy can you please explain what's going on?" Alice pleaded with the pissed off vampire. Roxy was a strong vampire; she was a strong human, and over the last few days she had been weak, and it took a toll on her. She hated to play a damsel in distress, and that is what is was coming to making her temper rise.
"You two should be happy that I did what I did!" Roxy screamed at them. "I have looked after you since we were six years old, and if I had let you stay as a freaking 'classic' vampire then you two would be in the state I am in right now!"
"It wasn't your choice!" Baa yelled back at her. Trying to undo the restrains placed on her.
"Tell us the truth then, who changed us?!" Cathy screamed. For a moment in time Alice felt completely lost. What was going on in front of her was the bond of sisters the bond that she forgot, and the bond she may never get back.
"I did." Nathan piped up from his spot at the table.
"You?!" They looked at Roxy who nodded.
"Yes, and just like Alice you remember nothing." He said. Alice's mouth dropped open.
"You didn't change me too, did you?!" Nathan shook his head and looked at her. She noticed how much more content and happy he was when Roxy was around.
"No, the transformation just had the same effect on them as it did you expect they didn't forget their human life just their transformation." Alice sunk down on the bed next to Jasper.
"I was right when I thought you wouldn't understand that's why…….." Roxy clutched her head. "Shit." She cursed, and Nathan was at her side.
"What's wrong?" He asked with his arm over her shoulder as she leaned into him.
"I'm..I'm losing control." She closed her eyes tight as she fought the pulling force, but with each passing moment it became stronger. "I need to leave."
"I'm coming with you." Nathan pulled her closer to him, but she jerked away.
"No, not….just no. If I can get to my grave I can bury myself there until this passes." Nathan growled and tried to reason with her as she made her way to the door. The bounds on Baa and Cathy fell and the two stood and watched the couple argue.
"What if he finds you?!" Nathan yelled angrily. Roxy clutched the door handle and looked back at him with saddened eyes.
"I'm not losing control because he sent another command. I'm losing control because I'm weak." Roxy was weak; she hadn't slept in almost two days and her body still hadn't fully recovered from all the silver she had in countered in the time period.
"If the potion takes over before you get back to your grave then you're going to end up going right back to him." Nathan argued reaching out and holding Roxy's shoulders.
"Its better then hurting you." Roxy whispered; the Cullens, Baa, and Cathy became frozen in time on Roxy's command. When in this state they couldn't see what was happening or attempt to go after her.
"But he's going to hurt you again." Nathan pleaded with her and she spun around in his arms so she was face to face with him; his blue eye swimming with emotion while hers brimmed with tears. His fingers lightly traced the black burn on her neck.
"The only thing hurting me is being away from you." Her voice was low, and the heat of her breath brushed over his lips.
"Then take me with you. I can protect you." His voice disappeared as their lips met, then she pulled back from Nathan's frozen form. Now that he couldn't see her she let the tears run down her face.
"You've always have protected me, Nate." She let her hand slid along his glassy cheek. "But you can't protect me from myself." She traced his lips with her finger, and kissed them one last time. "I love you." With that she walked out the door. In seconds she materialized in front of her grave.
Quickly she sprung the ground aside and got in as her mind flashed between her own thoughts, and ones to kill Nathan. As she lay down and the earth fell with a thump against the lid of her coffin her mind was forced back to the night Cathy and Baa were changed.
She walked alone around the town at night as she had done for the past two years now. She missed her friends with a burning, but most of all she missed the soft touch of Nathan's lips against her own. Unconsciously her fingers traced the fading marks where Nathan had bitten her that night. That night had sealed her fate.
"Roxy!" She stopped. She could have sworn she heard someone call her name.
"Roxy!" There is was again, but this time in a different voice. Her mind had failed to process it the first time, but now she knew her called her. Cathy, and Baa. As fast as she could she ran towards the sound of the cries only to be stopped by the line.
"Crap!" She yelled hitting the invisible wall. "Nate!" She called hoping he could hear her. Minutes ticked by, and still there was no reply. Roxy began to panic; the closer she had gotten to the line the stronger the smell of blood had become. Roxy knew whose blood it was; she had spent the last two years watching over her friends only for them to be ripped out of her grasp.
The smell had begun to fade and Roxy drifted to the ground. All hope was lost until she saw a figure on the other side.
"Nate!" She cried jumping to her feet with her hands pressed against the barrier. Nathan came closer, and Roxy noticed he had a figure in his arms. "Oh Lord! Baa!" Nathan approached Roxy and handed Baa to her threw the barrier. Both hands pressed against it as the exchange was made.
"I'll be right back." He told her before racing off again. Roxy nodded and set Baa gently on the ground. Her clothes were stained with blood as well as her blonde hair.
"Beth?" Roxy pushed the blood matted hair out of the girl's face, but there was no movement to indicate she was heard. "Baa?" Still nothing. On one side of her neck was a crescent wound on the other two distinct bite marks. Roxy hand searched furiously for a pulse, but none could be found. Baa was dead. Tears ran in rivers down her face as she cradled her friend's body.
Then an idea popped into her head as she laid her back to ground. She pressed her hands over Baa's heart and instantly Roxy could feel Baa's skin becoming cold and hard. She watched closely as the wounds in her neck healed, and her breathing returned. A huge smile lit up Roxy's face until Nathan returned with Cathy. She stood and he passed Cathy threw like he had Baa, but this time their hand brushed slightly.
"I tried to change them, but Roxy I think I may have been too late." Nathan told her as she laid Cathy down next to Baa. Just the same; Cathy was already dead. She repeated what she had done to Baa. "What did you just do?"
"They were dead, Nathan, but only for a few minutes so I sped up the transformation." Nathan understood. Cathy and Baa's pulse may have stopped beating, but their soul had not yet left their body.
"There not like us." Nathan commented, and Roxy smiled.
"I know." Roxy stood and stepped over her now sleeping friends, and she walked over to the barrier. He put his had up to the wall and she did the same, and they looked into each others eyes.
"I love you."
Now as Roxy lay beneath the earth she regretted getting so angry at her friends. They just couldn't understand the pain it had put her threw to be standing over their lifeless bodies think that all was lost. Roxy vowed to talk to them as soon as she regained complete control, and tell them everything. The reason she had told them a 'newer' vampire had changed them was because she didn't want them to be mad at her for bring them back to this hell of a life. As Roxy began to drift off to sleep her coffin was forced open.
"Well, hello there."
Another cliff hanger… sorry. So I hope you liked, and understood what I meant when I tried to explain how Roxy changed Baa and Cathy. I am hoping to add more Cullens in the next chapter. Reviews get more updates. ItalianAmerican
