Dedications: twilightfan888, crazyperson17, lozzy035. Thanks for the reviews!
Right, here we go with the next chapter, hope you like it and sorry for taking so long between each update, I have a hell of a lot of coursework at the moment, I should be working on that, not this! Sorry, followers will know that I already said she has the ability to turn human, but forget that, she doesn't. Oops, and sorry! Forget the rest of that paragraph, I didn't say her scent either, I want it to be different.
Disclaimer: (I forgot it last chapter) I do not own anything Twilight Saga related and the original idea goes to Darkened-Sun.
Chapter 4
Me and Carlisle started to run towards the forest. When we stopped, we were deep into the forest where no humans should be. "First of all, just watch me," Carlisle told me. He closed his eyes and waited for the breeze to go by. When it swept his way, he breathed in, his eyes snapping open, and him running off again with me tailing him in the trees.
We eventually came to a clearing. Carlisle was so different; he was now in his primal state. Even though his eyes were now gold, from being a vampire for four years now, he was still young to this life, and... I felt protective of him. He was a creature born of my own venom, and was starting to look more and more like a second father to me.
I watched as Carlisle gracefully leaped upon the unsuspecting stag and snapped its neck, so humane! As he drank its blood, staying well back as he would try to defend his prey as he was still in instinct mode, I thought back to how humane he was. I wish that I would be like that after a while. I could see it now, imagining it, me and Carlisle hunting together frequently, laughing in a way only a father and his child could, the same way me and my father Marcus do. Seeing myself with two fathers... happy.
And then I was thrown into a series of visions. I saw myself with Carlisle, saying goodbye, after he had been here for over 200 years happy with me, with us saying goodbye. And then, I saw myself grown up, seeing Carlisle again, but it seemed far away, in the new millennium, the year 2008 as a seventeen year old. My visions are not subjective; they show the true path that will be taken, because they are so strong. This made me realise that I would eventually say goodbye to Carlisle, but then I would see him again. I also saw a new power, the power to be human, or to make the illusion, able to eat, drink, and other human things that wouldn't be possible as a vampire, like a heartbeat. But that would not include being able to grow old or get pregnant. I saw myself using the human ability, growing old with another family, then moving to another town, where I would see Carlisle again. I would only have my mental shield and the ability to turn back to my vampire state. If I got bitten while human then it would take the normal three day change. My scent as a vampire is orange blossoms, lilac, freesia and roses, it was intoxicating. As a human, it was so different, freesia and strawberries. The sweetest blood ever known, it would most definitely get me in trouble with other vampires.
But I would also spy on him at certain times in history. Invisible and with no scent. And I saw myself in the first years away from Carlisle in a vampire army camp, getting close to someone called Jasper. Still as a child, saying that I could use fire instead of using my other powers. I saw that if I said I was part of the Volturi then I would be attacked, so I was undercover as a nomad. Then I saw myself back at Volterra, after spying on Carlisle might I add, in the year 1991, before leaving for a new life to grow up in, in the year 2001. I grew up in this green town of Forks, before my adoptive parents split up and I grew up in Arizona. Then coming back, meeting the Cullens. Then the visions went blurry, so I couldn't see anything. It seemed they didn't want me to know this early, it was to be expected, I mean... it's over two hundred years away for crying out loud!
As my normal vision came back, I saw myself on the ground, with a dent underneath me. Obviously I fell out the tree. Carlisle was looking over me, checking me over, as if he was a doctor. He was obviously worried about what my father would say if he found out I fell out a tree.
When he realised I was looking at him, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Are you okay? You fell out the tree and you just sat up and kept this blank look, like your eyes were looking at something else... Are you okay?" I answered back, "Yes, I'm fine, thank you. Nothing hurts. I think I just ruined the bottom of my dress though. I was having visions; they just shocked me, that's all. They were quite happy ones." I was thrown into another vision, one of Carlisle as a doctor, helping people, practically immune to human blood. My problem would be, that as a human I would still be able to smell blood, as rust and salt, and it would make me feel sick, as my body tried to tell me to turn back into a creature that could take blood in an easier form. "What was it that you saw?" Carlisle asked. "You know, curiosity killed the cat." "Yes, but you could bring it back. Marcus told me about your abilities and how you have the ability over life and death," he ended with a smile. "I can tell you the one vision, but not the rest. You will become a doctor. Now don't look at me like that, you have good self-control, it might take a while, but with the right help and guidance, for I will help you, you will become a great surgeon." He just looked shocked. "Now am I going to hunt or what, Carlie?" He shook his head to rid himself of the shock, and focused on me again. "Right, I want you to close your eyes and wait for the breeze. What do you smell?" I made the wind blow towards me, so I caught the scent quite easily. "A herd of deer, am I right?" "Yes, now let yourself get taken over by your instincts, and follow the scent," Carlisle ordered.
It was like something switched on inside my head. I was no longer a happy child, but a bloodthirsty monster. I ran with my ability of super speed that was even faster than all vampires and soon enough I reached the clearing. Looking for the best prey, I found the stag and a couple of large females by them. By this time, Carlisle had caught up as he was still relatively young to this life. "Remember, snap their necks, it's more humane," Carlisle whispered in my ear.
I leapt gracefully in the air, landing on the stag's back, snapping its neck, and then doing the same to my other two prey. I hadn't fed in over two weeks; I don't feed with the family that often, so I was really thirsty. I went back to the stag and started to drink the blood. I tipped the deer up to get the rest of the blood out, a trick I learnt a long time ago.
After I was finished, I saw a baby deer walk towards what must have been its mother. I felt so sad for the baby deer, that I used my ability to bring the three animals back to life. Once they were p and walking, they saw me and ran off in the direction the rest of the herd had taken. I heard Carlisle walk slowly towards me. "Wow, Isabella, you looked so graceful when you hunted, and that was so wonderful of you to bring your dead prey back to life, just for one little animal. You're like the daughter I always wanted." I jumped into his arms, and said, "You are like a second father to me, Carlie, and I've only known you for a few hours. Thank you for the compliment on my hunting; I couldn't leave the helpless animal, when it needed its mother." We made our way back to the castle, betting on what Marcus would say when he saw the state I looked in.
When we go back to the castle, we headed straight to the throne room, hand in hand, ignoring the stares we got.
As we threw open the doors, all eyes went to us. I could see a few of the guard members, Jane, Felix, Alec and Demetri, were there as well as the wives, with the three brothers on their thrones. Crap, this won't go down well.
As soon as Marcus caught sight of the state my dress was in, he stood up immediately and shouted out, "What happened to my daughter!" Carlisle visibly shrank back at having upset one of the three most powerful vampires in the world. I thought of it as my duty to stop him from getting in trouble, so I spoke up. "Daddy, wait! It's not his fault. He was showing my how he hunted, so I climbed a tree, so his instincts wouldn't pick up on my, the instinct to defend prey, I then had a series of visions, mine to know only, and woke up from them on the floor, apparently I fell out the tree." I looked at Marcus really sheepishly, conveying my emotions through my eyes. He seemed to concentrate on my and Carlisle very hard, I knew he was trying to see the bond between us. "Hmm, fine then. But Isabella, come here please, you too Carlisle. We have a very dangerous criminal coming in. He is crazed with blood, even though he isn't a newborn. He is one of the three remaining Romanians. They created an army of immortal children, but the two that are still free, Stefan and Vladimir, ran off, leaving him behind. Carlisle, we want you to see what happens to the vampires that need to be punished. Bring him in."
I made the doors open with my telekinesis and in came Felix and Alec, Felix holding Marius while Alec was controlling his senses. Marius was thrashing around wildly, angry at getting caught. "Let me go! I'll kill you all!" Marius said, rambling on and on. "Demetri, go and help Felix hold Marius. Alex, give him his senses back now," Aro instructed. You could see the change in which his features showed when he got his eyesight back. He started thrashing around even more violently when he saw how many were actually here. He looked towards me. "Hey there sweetie, are you going to be killed too? You're an immortal child; just kill them now while you have the chance." I looked shocked when he said this. Did he really think I was going to do that? I pushed out my shields, my instinct telling me to do so now, before it was too late. I always listen to my instincts; they never lie or are wrong. And not a few seconds later, I felt a flutter at the shield, trying to persuade me. He obviously had a gift. "I'm sorry Marius-" it surprised him that I knew his name, "but I'm not going to harm my family. Marcus is my father, and if anything I'll protect him and the rest of this coven, for the moment, by helping to stop you. I know you are one of the last remaining Romanians. For you see, I am not just any immortal child. I am more powerful than you can comprehend." At that moment, I was thrown into a vision, an ugly one. As I came out of it, I heard Marius laugh, and he shouted like he was crazy (he probably was) "Well let's see how you do against my friends then, shall we?" I screamed for everyone to gather round the thrones, but it was too late for some.
The doors once again flew open as seven large, real, Children of the Moon werewolves burst into the throne room. Only Heidi was taken down, everyone else had gotten to my shield in time. Dominic, her mate, screamed out in pain, Heidi was his mate, you see. Marius just laughed, and ordered the werewolves to kill her. They had already lit a fire, and their own venom was poisoning her system already. I concentrated on gaining two powers. Teleportation and healing.
I knew what I looked like when I gained new abilities. I looked like an angel, floating in the sky. Some even said they thought they saw wings.
All fighting stopped, looking on in awe. I looked at Carlisle, yep, definitely in shock. I floated back down, and landed on my feet. "I'm sorry Marius, but you won't kill any of us today. Not while I'm here," I said, my voice still heavenly. "Oh really? Then what about your friend over here?" Marius said, while pointing to Heidi. I quickly transported her over to me, so now everyone was inside the shield. "NO!" Marius shouted. "Get them!" The werewolves were concentrating again, and trying to get to us, clawing at the shield. I kneeled by Heidi, and started the process of healing her. Carlisle knelt besides me, checking her over for her injuries, gasping as he saw them heal. Soon enough, Heidi was healed and sitting up, resting on Dominic's chest. I turned towards Marius.
"As you can see, you are outnumbered. By me. And now, you are going to pay for trying to kill my family." As soon as I finished, the werewolves started trying to get away. Before any of them got to the doors, I shut them with telekinesis. Then, throwing a shield over the wolves, I set the inside alight, with all the werewolves burning to death. I shifted the shield over to Marius. "Wait! I can help you!" My eyes hardened. "Sorry, too late," I whispered. I set the inside of the shield alight once again, revelling in his screams. Before putting out the fire I checked to make sure there was no life force inside the shield.
I turned to Carlisle. "Now you know what happens to criminals. This is what I have dealt with in my 1020 years of living. How about we go to my garden?" He nodded, not able to speak, before our plans for the rest of the day were ruined. I passed out.
Wow. 2,503 words, a record! What do you think? Send me a review, they make me so happy! And also I put up a picture of the werewolves on my profile!
