Chapter 2

I didn't sleep all last night well which is normal for us vamps but my mom slept all night long. So early in the morning I was out in the garden with the soil between my toes and the smell of earth around me I was deep in the woods. I could hear everything, smell everything and I felt everything. My eyes were firmly shut and I was planning what to wear when I got home. Then I heard it well them. Four deep, rough breaths, four hard beating hearts, sixteen big paws running silently through the woods. I held my breath as I heard them coming closer.

Two for them disappeared the same moment I felt that I was not alone. I opened my eyes to see Jacob and Colin coming towards me both in shorts. I closed my eyes again then I thought thank you earth you may leave now, and then opened my eyes again.

"Hey Mia, What you doing out this deep in the woods?" Colin asked as he bounded towards me.

"Hi Colin hi Jake I just like to take walks in the morning so I decide to walk in the woods today since they are everywhere here in La push" I told them

"Oh well you better be care full in these woods you don't know what's lurking inside here" Jacob warned me.

"Hmm well I can look after myself. Hey since you guys have been in deeper then have you seen the four well two wolves that ran across here?" I asked.

"Wolves… no we haven't seen any" Jacob said.

I sighed "ok well I better go now since my mom would expect me back in a few minutes any way" I said as I got up from the ground and dusted myself off.

"Do you want me to walk you home Mia?" Colin asked

"No I don't need to be walked home" I said because I bet he wouldn't like to see me rip open a bag of blood and drink it in one gulp. I smiled at me own privet joke.

"Well see you later guys!" I said hopping away as I already had one shoe on and I was trying to put the other one on while walking away.

Five minutes later I was back home and I went to my 'special' fridge and took two bags of blood and gulped them down.

"Mom, dad I really think we should look for a nice hunting ground I'll start to get sick of bags of donated blood" I said leaning out my room door.

I heard the car beep outside.

"Mommy I missed you!" Sam's voice came from outside.

"I really missed you too my little angle!" my mom said. I was very much surprized to see her up at this time of day, she had turned into the stereotype vampires who sleep all day and are up all night.

"Hey little monster" I greeted him.

"Mia I missed you too" he said coming full force towards me.

"You better watch out were surrounded by humans you can't use your powers here!" I told him off when he hugged me.

"I'm sorry, where's daddy?" he asked with a voice filled with pure innocents.

"Where is daddy?" I asked mom.

"He is in Forks he is going to have fun in the hospital" she sighed "he is a great doctor!" mom said.

"Mia I wanna be a doctor too!" Sam chimed in his little cute voice.

"Sure little monster you can be whatever you want to be" I told him.

"Even Dracula?" he asked getting every excited.

I laughed "yes even Dracula!"

"Hey Sammy you that your daddy knows Dracula, maybe if you ask him he'll take you to meet him!" mom told him.

"Yeah that's so cool" he said then made his way into the house.

"Dad knows Dracula?" I asked.

"No, Dracula's not real darling it's just that I wanted to make Sam's day!" she smiled and made her way into the house as well and I followed her.

"You know mom that one of these days you'll have to tell the little guy that Dracula isn't real. I still remember the day you told me the tooth fairy wasn't real I was devastated" I dramatically added a sigh and put my hand to my heart.

"Oh honey you can be a drama queen at times you know" she yawned "can you please take Sam out to town, I'm mean in Forks he can even visit his dad if he wants to?" she asked.

"Sure I'll take care of the little monster" I told her as he came out of his room with no clothes on expect his underwear, a black cape and fake fangs "if he isn't dressed like that!" I added quickly.

After a bit of fighting well verbal fighting on what he was wearing and what he wanted to be when he was older, I ended the fight with my usual 'oh bite me' and stormed off into my room. I heard him go into his room hopefully he was changing.

There was a knock on my door and Sam appeared looking the sorry and sad but in normal clothes at the same time.

"I'm sorry Mia, please forgive me!" his cute voice rang.

"Come here Sam" I patted my bed and he smiled.

"Yeah thank you!" he chirped.

"We'll be going in to town and I just drank some blood so I need to check if my fangs are out" I told him.

"Mia when will I get fangs?" Sam asked.

"you will get your fangs when your older and you can control your powers and well when you've been to the house of night that is" I answered him.

"Wow I can't wait to go to the house of night" he said.

"Well you have a while to wait your only seven so your more human than vampire" I told him and he went silent with thought.

I checked my teeth. They pure white, gleaming, my hair was jet black and surrounded my face. I had green eyes which were from my mom and I had pale but slightly tanned skin. I checked my teeth again my fangs were slightly out. I sighed.

"What's wrong Mia?" Sam asked.

"Nothing it's just that my fang-" I started but there was a knocked on the front door.

"Mia it's me Leah I got someone who want meet to you!" Leah's voice came from outside.

"Oh crap, crap, crap!" I said.

"You're not allowed to use naughty words Mia!" Sam told me off.

I stared at my fangs "I'll be right out Leah just give me a few minutes" I shouted.

I took a deep breath and cleared my thoughts. Retract please! I felt the a little pain then it stopped so I knew that my fangs were gone.

"Stay here Sam just for now" I told him then he crossed his legs on my bed "thank you and take your shoes off"

I got to the door "hey Leah what's up?"

"Oh well there was a guy who was in town he kept asking if we knew where Mia Taylor was staying" she said then she stepped aside then I saw Stark.

"Ian what the hell are you doing here?!" I said smiling

"Well they told me that you left Italy for a place called Forks and I couldn't let someone as important as you be left all alone" he told me whilst grabbing me into a tight hug.

"Thanks you're so sweet but I'm not staying here forever you know it's just for now… and I was coming back" I told him when he let me go.

"Hmm so I guess you're ok just promise me that you'll come and visit and tell me you're alright you were really making me worried" he said with a smile "really leaving Chelsea in charge of the place was not the smartest choice you could make".

"Well thank you for telling me that I'm stupid" I said.

"Hey well you found her so I better go ok, bye" Leah said and started walking away from us.

"Thank you by the way Leah" we both said at the same time and I started laughing.

The day passed along nicely. Ian, Sam and I headed to Forks. We had nearly nothing to do expect window shop there weren't actually many shops to window shop at. Sam wanted us to buy something from a store that sold sports gear but Stark told him that he would buy some for his birthday. So Sam was happy enough. We went to the hospital and talked to dad on his lunch break we also meet his work college Dr Cullen who was very pale with golden eyes. Sam was just a little scared by him but I made friends with him. I offered him some coffee but he didn't want any though he didn't eat a thing. Ian left that night with a promise that he was coming back next week if I did contact him or the counsel.

A month passed and I was finally going to meet Seth, Leah's brother. He was out of the state for something that they didn't tell me about. I was on the beach with Jacob, Leah and Sam. Then I saw something in the distance a tall guy who was dressed as the rest of the guys in shorts. We were walking on the rocks and I was using my inhuman balance to keep me steady. The guy ran towards us but he was so, so happy so full of energy that I momentarily lost my balance and that moment was enough. Last thing I saw was the rocky ground head towards me. I woke with the smell of blood in the air; wait that was my blood. I sat up quickly too quickly it felt like I hit my head on a brick wall.

"Ouch! My head kills!" I put my hand too my head and felt a warm sticky liquid on it.

"Careful now Mia you fell and cut your hand and you're bleeding from a cut on you fore head still" a totally strange voice told me.

"Who are you?" I asked feeling a little groggy.

"Oh yeah you haven't met me yet I'm Seth, Leah's younger brother!" he answered.

"You're the one who made me trip!" I accused him.

"Sorry Mia you hit your head and I didn't trip you I was far from you" Seth told me.

"Where are we going?" I asked as everything was blurry.

"We are on our way to the hospital to get to your cuts cleaned and dressed" I heard Leah say she was somewhere in front of me.

"Are we in a car, is Leah driving the car?" I said but it came out as a whisper.

"Yes we are in a car and no Jacobs driving" Seth answered.

"I feel sleepy… night, night" I told them.

"No it's not time for you to sleep Mia, just stay awake for now" Jacobs's voice came from in front of me as well.

"But I'm tired!" I whined. I wanted to tell them when a vampire is hurt they sleep to heal and I couldn't heal properly because I wasn't asleep I was unconscious but I didn't tell them they were after all just humans. So instead I muttered "Stark's going to kill me… or the rock"

We must have already been near the hospital already because the next thing I heard was my dad's voice saying "its ok Mia you can heal now you're safe" and then I slept. I slept so long that when I woke up in the late evening I felt good as new.

"Hey kiddo, are you alright?" I heard my dad say.

"Yeah dad I'm alright" I stretched I felt a little sore but I was mostly alright.

I heard the door open "Ah I see Mia is up Matthew" I heard Dr Cullen's voice.

"Yes and I am very happy about that Carlisle" my dad answered "I have checked her she is good to go home"

"Well that is good news, I will redress your wounds" Dr Cullen said.

"That doesn't matter Carlisle I already done that" my dad told him.
