Yeah this chapter is a little boring seeing as it explains a lot of stuff. But it is an important chapter. This is my disclaimer for the whole story: I only own Emily, Anul, Amara and Julia, and the plot.
Anul POV
I sat at my mothers side and I watched her.
She was lying down on her lavender comforter. Asleep. Well, not asleep because she was a vampire, but in a type of coma. She woke up every now and then, but it wasn't the same. There was only one person to blame for this and it was mine and Emily's father.
It was all because he forgot her that she went into despair. At first she tried, but then she couldn't help it. I don't think she even realized it until it was too late. She stopped feeding off of life energy, slowly taking less and less. Stayed locked up in her room more. About last year she had entered this state.
Her pale skin was even paler and her once brown hair was now silver, and dry and brittle. She had hardly any strength and when she opened her eyes you could see she wasn't there. She was in another place; a place that filled her eyes with pain, sorrow, and worry. Which was a sign that wherever she was she still thought of us.
But, anybody who saw her couldn't deny she was dying. Despite not being able too, she was special. The one exception of the vampire who could die. Was my mother... and it was driving my sister insane. Which reminds me I should go and check on her. Sometimes she would forget where she was, and stay rocking back and forth in the rocking chair in her room. The one mother used to rock her in.
As I walked to my sister's room I heard the Cullens stirring and thought, Emily might kill someone.
Emily POV
I looked out the window and watched a bead of rain trail down the pane. The fog from this morning had created condensation against all the windows making small beads of rain water form. I couldn't get enough of the landscape outside. Even though Anul was life I still appreciated the beauty of nature.
Our house was secluded deep into the forest; it was two stories and a washed-out white painted the exterior. The interior was of pale colors and fashionable furniture, but I didn't really care. My room was butterscotch yellow, with light yellow bedspreads and pale yellow walls. My floor was white with yellow rugs. Despite being the essence of death I liked the light and pale colors that were subtle, but enticing. I really only cared for six people, though.
My uncle Jacob- who was a werewolf- and Aunt Amara. Amara was a vampire with champagne blonde hair and topaz eyes because she drank animal blood. Amara used to be a revered vampire because of her power of power bestowal. She could give people powers or people who were already destined to have certain powers and couldn't access them, could get the power jump-started by her. All of that changed when she met Jacob and fell in love with him, she had been a part of the Volturi guard at the time and had to fake her death. Making it look like a werewolf had killed her. Ironic, right.
There was also my Aunt Julia and Uncle Seth. Seth was also a werewolf like Jacob. Just like Julia was a vampire. Julia had auburn hair and topaz eyes, as well. She rarely fed, though, her control almost perfect. Her power was animation. Which meant she could bring any inanimate object to life and control it. Be it a statue or a car- which would act like it was possessed driving around by itself. Everybody was married and the werewolves didn't have to worry about aging because they couldn't while being around vampires. And our household was all vampire they were practically immortal.
The two people who I held at the top of my love list, that were tied, were my mother and brother Anul. My mother raised me and gave her very best for my brother and I. That was before the depression began to get to her. After that I could barely recognize her. It tortured my soul and heart to see my mother like this and know that the cause of it was my father. I despised that man with every fiber of my being. He broke my mothers heart and one day I would kill him because of it.
Then there was my brother, Anul. He understood me like no one else. Maybe, it was because we were twins, maybe not. He was life, I was death. The angel and the demon. Optimistic and Pessimistic. Polar opposites. that was another reason we got along so well. My brother, mother, and I were not normal vampires. We didn't feed off of blood. We fed off of what our power wanted. I fed off of death, such as, an animal dying and I could feed off of them. More specifically their death energy. Anul fed off of life energy and mother fed off of life energy as well, but in a different way. Not exactly the life energy, rather their time. It was complicated.
Shh...Shh.
I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of my brother's cloak dragging along the wooden floors. He must be coming out of mother's room. The place she "slept". Julia, Amara, Seth, and Jacob hardly went in. Only to check in on her. Mainly, it was Anul and then me.
I don't think anybody would be able to understand why I couldn't see mother like that. They wouldn't understand how every time I walked in I was pushed farther away from sanity. The images of my mother broken and weak burning a hole in my memories. I couldn't bear it if she died and the only recent memories I had of her were those ones. I tried to focus on the good ones, but they seemed to be slipping away from me. I didn't worry, though, Anul did enough talking to her for the both of us.
I let out a sigh and stood from my rocking chair. Anul was much closer to my door now and I could hear the Cullens stirring down stairs.
knock, knock
Came from the other side of my door and I went to open it. Anul stood there and I joined him as he began to walk downstairs.
"Can you handle this?" he asked me.
I didn't answer. I could only think about how it seemed that he had just read my mind because all this time I had been thinking. I just might kill someone.
Anyway, the next chapter is the meeting with the Cullens;) My other stories should be updated sometime this weekend.
