T.J POV

It's been two months since I've seen her. My Olivia. The most beautiful, caring, happy, talented, loving person that I've ever known.

I've been sitting in this goddamn room for two weeks now; I should've eaten a week ago. I've been trying to remember the conversation where she told me where she was going.

When she left and said she couldn't come back, I had felt like my heart was ripped in two. She loved me, she had said, but wasn't able to see or be with me. All because of some stupid creatures that might have been after me if she had stayed. Well, I'm one of those creatures now, so I'm going to find her if it takes me the rest of my life, at least I have a long time to find her.

After a month passed, after she left, I went roaming on the streets, unhappy with my now dark and dull life. Now that Olivia was gone, everything seemed that way. It was about midnight when I noticed the time. I had just walked into a dark alley way behind a small bar, not the safest or smartest thing to do, but I wasn't really in the mood to care.

I heard a rustling in the back of the alley. I called out.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, a man that was in his early twenties came out from behind a dumpster. He was very pale and was glowing from the light of the moon. He said to me

"Hey, can you come help me lift these boxes, they're pretty heavy and I'd like some help."

I went over to help him with the boxes, but when I got over there, there weren't any boxes. All of a sudden, the guy lunged at me and bit my neck, I could feel him sucking the life out me, but a second later, a pale woman came and lifted him off of me. She smacked him in the head and they left me there. I got to my feet, slowly and in unbearable pain, and hid behind the dumpster.

For three days I was in unbearable pain. I didn't scream or yell because then someone would have found me. When I felt no more pain, it was nighttime and no one else was around me, so I decided to go get some food. I went into a diner and ordered some food, a burger with cheese fries. When I was finished eating, I noticed that I had mud on my shirt. I decided to head to the bathroom.

When I went to the sink, I splashed water in my face, cleaned off my shirt, and looked up into the mirror to check if I had any dirt on my face; I had to do a double take to see that the person in the mirror was me.

I looked totally different, and extremely good-looking. My hair was now a dirty blond, but still wavy, and down to my chin. My skin, which was now translucently pale, slightly glowed under the luminescent lights in the restroom. I was stronger, I could tell, but I kept in under control easily. I was also pretty fast, and I controlled myself not to go as fast as I wanted to. I also had purplish bruises under my eyes, like I hadn't slept in weeks and my once blue eyes were now a dark emerald green.

When I left the restaurant, I immediately ran as fast as I could to the forest. To my surprise, I got there in less than a minute even though the forest was hundreds of miles from Houston.

I thought for a few hours when after some thought, it clicked somewhere subconsciously in the back of my head. It was then that I realized what I was; a vampire. I didn't detest myself. I was actually relieved in a weird sort of way, although I thought that vampires sucked blood, maybe it was just a silly myth. I knew I couldn't go back to my family, they probably thought I was dead by now. I stayed in that forest for four days, just thinking.

Then I was giddy, I thought, I can go find Olivia now! I was saying this over and over in my head.

I quickly went into the nearest town and "borrowed" a Mercedes. It's a good thing this car had tinted windows because if the windows were down, I would've been sparkling like a chandelier. I don't know why, but my body subconsciously told me to go north.

I drove for five days, thought for two, and finally stopped at a shitty motel the next day. I was in Washington, near a town called Port Angeles. I stayed in that motel for two weeks.

This is where we started. I should've eaten a week ago, but I need to remember. That day was perfect until she told me that she had to go.

--Flashback--

We sitting in her room upstairs, watching T.V. and laying on the bed, her body on top of mine.

We weren't doing anything, though we both wanted to, she said that we couldn't until we were married. That would be two years; I had already told my parents that I wanted to marry Olivia and that I would ask her after graduation.

She turned towards me and said "I'm leaving in a few months. I have to go somewhere and I don't know when I can come back."

I looked at her incredulously, my eyes full of pain and sorrow. All I could manage was "Why?"

"I have to go visit some friends, I don't want to go, but I have to." She started to cry into my shoulder, and I held her tighter to my chest. Why did she have to go?! It was going so well! Maybe she doesn't love me any more.

"I will always love you; don't ever think that I don't. Okay?" It was like she read my mind.

"I'll come to visit you then, every two weeks."

"No, you can't!"

"Why?" I was hurt, why didn't she want me to come and visit her?

She broke down crying into my shirt, but I didn't care. I just wanted her to stop crying. I couldn't bear to see her like this, in pain, her gorgeous features etched in sorrow.

That's when she told me everything. About herself, what she was to become, what would happen to her on her sixteenth birthday, where she was staying and who she was staying with. She told me that she couldn't see me anymore, because it would put everyone in danger. She didn't care about herself; she just wanted me to be safe.

--End Flashback--

That's when it came to me. Where she was staying and who she was staying with.

She was in Forks, Washington, and she was staying with a family called the Cullen's.

Forks was only an hour away, and with my driving, I would be there in less than half of an hour. I immediately ran to my car, got in and drove straight to Forks.

When I got there, I went up to the first person I saw and asked them "Do you know where the Cullen's live, I'm a friend of the family and I forgot the map at home."

They gave me directions and it took me about ten minutes to get there. I got out of the car and took a few minutes to compose myself for what was going to happen. It was about 3:50 p.m. and I was getting hungry, but I ignored it.

I ran up to the door and knocked on it cautiously. A pixie-like girl with short black hair and pale skin like mine answered the door.

She asked "Hi, can I help you with anything?"

"Yes, my name's T.J Mason, do you know where a girl named Olivia Swan is?" I asked this very anxiously.

She gasped and ran inside screaming "Olivia, someone's here to see you!"

A big burly guy with curly black hair and the same pale skin came to the door and said "Hey, I'm Emmett, do you want to come in and sit down?"

I came in, quickly sitting on the first couch I saw. I was so nervous, I was almost shaking.

The pixie-haired girl came back down, but this time she came back with someone else. She was gorgeous! She had platinum blond ringlets all around her exquisite face. She was about 5'11" with pale skin that had a slight rosy tint to it on her cheeks. She had a tall, svelte body type, and she had really nice, long legs. She looked so familiar. Her lips were a pretty pink and her eyes were a gorgeous amber. Just like the choker she was wearing. Her eyes…her eyes!

"Olivia?"

She did a double take when she saw me. "T.J?"

It all happened pretty fast after that. She ran to me with such speed it would put a racecar to shame, but that was nothing compared to how fast I was running to her. When we got to each other, I pulled her into the most passionate kiss I've ever given her. I didn't care that I knew other people were watching, I was just happy that she was in my arms again. She kissed me back and all my troubles melted away.

She started to cry and I held her closer to me. Then, she started to speak in between sobs of happiness.

"Oh god, I've missed you so much, you don't know how much I've missed your arms around me." I could feel the others leaving the room, so we just stood there until we decided to go sit on the couch. I carried her in my arms, and we stayed like that for what seemed like hours.

She fell asleep in my arms and that is when the others came back into room silently. A girl with brown hair smiled at me appreciatively, like I had just done her a big favor. Then a guy with bronzish hair that had his arm around her spoke to me.

"Who are you?"

"I'm T.J Mason, Olivia's boyfriend." Only the black-haired girl and the brown-haired girl smiled at me. The others just looked at me like I was crazy. The bronze-haired guy started to talk again.

"But you're a vampire."

"Yeah, so, I wasn't when I met her."

"How did you recognize her?" Emmett asked.

"Her eyes. Only my Olivia has those eyes." I smiled down at her sleeping form and kissed her forehead gently.

The brown-haired girl smiled at me again, and then she started to speak.

"Hi, I'm Bella, Olivia's cousin." Her chocolate brown eyes held respect for me, and she held her hand out for me to shake. The bronze-haired guy stood protectively in front of her, like he was waiting for me to do something to this girl that he obviously loved. He then growled at me for some reason.

"Why are you growling at me?"

"I'm making sure Bella is safe from you. I don't know what your diet is, but I'm not taking any chances."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Well, you could bite her!"

"Why would I bite her?"

"Well, can't you smell her, she smells better than most humans."

"Humans? Are you guys vampires, too?"

"Yes."

"Well, I respect your protection for Bella, but I would never bite her, I would never bite anything. Not to mention, she doesn't smell like anything."

They looked at me dumbfounded, but since Bella was still holding her hand out, I took it and shook it.

"T.J Mason."

She smiled, but her boyfriend looked at me in shock.

"What did you say your last name was?" He said shakily.

"Mason." I replied.

That was when Olivia decided to wake up. She started to move in my arms, then she opened her eyes, and one by one, they came to look at me. I smiled down at her and thought God, she's cute.

She smiled back up at me and I heard a voice in my head.

I think you're cute, too, T.J.

You can talk to me in my mind?

Yup. Then she pecked me on the cheek, giggled, and said "Mwah!" I chuckled; it was one of our games to do this.

The bronze-haired guy was still staring at me. Then, a blond-haired guy that looked about 25 came in with a caramel-haired girl. He didn't seem surprised that I was here, in fact, he looked pleased. He came and sat down on the couch with the girl.

"Hello, my name is Carlisle, and this is my wife, Esme. This is my coven, and I am the head of it. What is your name?"

"I'm T.J Mason."

At the mention of my name he seemed surprised to hear it, like the bronze-haired guy was. Olivia was bouncing up and down in my lap in excitement.

"Why don't we make proper introductions? Everyone? Why don't you introduce yourselves?"

The big burly guy, Emmett, came up to me and held out his hand. He gave me a brotherly smile and said "I'm Emmett, like you know; it's nice to meet you T.J!"

I smiled back and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, too, Emmett."

The pixie-haired girl ran up to me and stuck out her hand. She smiled brilliantly at me and said "Hi! I'm Alice. It's so nice to finally meet you!"

I shook it and smiled back. "Nice to meet you, Alice."

The blond-haired girl just smiled at me and said "Hi, I'm Rosalie, Emmett's wife."

I nodded, and then a blond-haired guy came into view and said quietly "Hi, I'm Jasper, Alice's husband."

I nodded towards them, and then Bella came up to me. She hugged me slightly and said "Thank you. Anyway, as you know, I'm Bella, and this is Edward, my fiancé." She waved towards the bronze-haired guy who was still staring at me.

Then, Olivia decided it was her turn to speak. So she said a little loud "I'm hungry!"

Emmett started to laugh at her outburst, Alice giggled, and Bella just smiled.

The rest rolled their eyes, except for Carlisle and Esme. Esme smiled at me and said "Why don't we go feed Olivia and Bella, everyone?"

"Do you mind if I have something as well? I haven't eaten in a while."

She smiled and said "Not at all."

Olivia smacked my chest and glared at me. "What?"

"Why didn't you eat? I don't want you to die from starvation!" I smiled apologetically and replied "Well, I was trying to remember where you said you were staying, so I kind of forgot to eat."

She hugged and said "I forgive you, then. Now, come on! I'm starving!"

I chuckled as she dragged me from the living room to the kitchen. When we got there, it smelled delicious. When we sat down, I sat in a chair, and Olivia sat on my lap, Edward and Bella did the same thing on a chair next to us.

When Esme set the burgers and fries she had made down on the table, Olivia had it down in five bites. I laughed and she smiled sheepishly at me. Then I started eating, and I felt like there were eyes boring down into my back, watching me eat. I looked up and Edward was staring at me intently.

"What?"

"How can you eat normal food?"

"You mean you don't?"

"No, the rest of us drink the blood from animals."

"Oh, maybe I'm just weird. I mean when I figured out what I was a few weeks ago, I had started to think that all the stories about vampires were just stupid myths."

"They're not myths, they're true. You must be special, then. Do you have any powers?" Carlisle asked.

"None that I know of."

Olivia and Alice were bouncing up and down in their seat again. Jasper was trying to hold Alice down as was I with Olivia. We both saw what we were doing and started to laugh at each other. Emmett joined in and Rosalie and Bella giggled. I couldn't calm Olivia down, so I just held her down with my arm. She stayed as still as she could, but she was still pretty bouncy.

When we were done, we all went back to the living room.

"So, tell us about yourself, T.J, how did you become a vampire and how did you get to Forks?"

"Well, about two weeks after Olivia left, I was left wandering the streets I hope to find something to bring some excitement out in my life. When she left, I didn't really do anything. My parents let me stay home, they knew I loved Olivia, I had told them that after graduation, I would ask Olivia to marry me."

I was looking at Olivia as I said this, and she gave me a peck on the cheek and said to me in my mind, I love you, you don't know how happy you've made me.

I smiled down at her and kissed her hair. I love you, too, and you smell really good.

Why, thank you, you smell good, too.

I went on with the story. "I was wandering the streets on the darker side of town; I wasn't really paying attention to anything other than my thoughts of Olivia. When I looked at my watch, it said it was just about after midnight. I heard a rustling in the back of the alley that I had just entered. I called out to see who was there. A man came out behind a dumpster, and he looked like he was glowing in the moonlight.

"He asked me to help him with some boxes, but when I went over to the other side, there were no boxes, just that guy. He lunged at me and started to suck my blood, I guess, but I never really saw. Then, a female vampire came and pulled him off me.

"They left me there, to die, but they didn't kill me, so I became a vampire. I didn't scream out, for fear of being found, I didn't want anyone else to get hurt or to find me and gather a crowd. For three days, I was in unbearable pain, I didn't know what was happening to me, and so I hid behind the dumpster."

Olivia clutched to me and the mention of me in pain I guess. She was silently crying, but I just held tighter and kissed her forehead.

"When the transformation was done, it was about three in the morning, so I went to a 24-hour place to get some food. I noticed that I was now stronger and faster, but I didn't really realize it until after I ate. When I went into the bathroom to clean some mud off of my shirt, I noticed my self in the mirror.

"I had totally changed. My skin was much paler, I had a bit more muscle, I was faster, my hair that was once brown was now blond, and my eyes had changed from a light blue to a deep emerald green. I ran to the forest after paying, knowing I was not human anymore. I could see and hear everything, but unlike you guys, humans don't smell appetizing to me, the smell more like, I don't know, daisies, nice, but in no way appealing like that.

"I spent about four days in the woods, thinking about what I could be. I mean, I knew I wasn't human, but I didn't have any traits that could lead me to anything specific. Something, I don't know what, but something clicked in my head on the third day and told me that I was a vampire."

Olivia was looking up at me, curiosity in those gorgeous amber eyes that she had. She was tracing patterns of butterflies and rainbows on my chest absentmindedly. I chuckled and she giggled at herself.

"On the fourth day, I realized that now that I was this creature, I could go and look for Olivia. So I went to the nearest town, and "borrowed" a Mercedes." I then looked to Olivia and said "Remind me to get a car when we go to Seattle, okay?"

"No problem. What dealership?"

I thought for a moment. A 2007 Mustang would be nice, although I did miss my Porsche. She laughed at my thoughts.

"So you want a 'Stang, or do you miss your Porsche already?" She asked with a wink.

"You had a Porsche?" Edward asked with a laugh.

Olivia answered for me. "Oh yeah, the guys at school used to drool all over it. Well, that is until I got my car."

"I do admire your car though; it's faster than that Mercedes I stole. I like the paint job, too."

"Enough about my car, what car do you want to get this weekend, my car's a little ostentatious for Forks High kids, they'll be drooling over it the minute I pull up. I'd much rather they drool over yours."

"Why don't you two just ride in my car?" Edward asked.

"Because it doesn't fit in with our story. Duh." Olivia replied.

"And what is our story?"

"We're cousins from different sides of the family, me from Esme's side, you from Carlisle's, since you guys look similar. We've come to see Alice and Edward graduate."

"Hmmm…Does that mean I can kiss you in public?" I grinned wolfishly.

"Maybe, if you behave." She replied mischievously.

"And if I don't?"

"Well, I guess you'll have to find that out on your own."

She started to stare off into space for a while, so I told the rest of my story to Carlisle, Edward, and Bella. The others had gone upstairs or were in the kitchen. When I finished, Edward took Bella home, and Carlisle went to be with Esme. That left me alone with my Olivia, not that I minded.

"Do you want to go see our room?"

"Our? You mean I'm staying?" I was practically giddy with excitement.

"Of course you're staying, I love you, and you're never ever leaving me, and I'll never ever leave you again."

She led me up to our room, and when I saw what it looked like, I smiled. It was based on memorabilia and comic book characters, a favorite of mine and hers. She had all our instruments on one side of the room, except for the guitar I had given to her for Christmas; that was on her couch. The walls were a superman blue and covered in modern portraits of famous singers, groups, and comic book heroes. I loved this room. She sensed this and said "I take it that you like it?"

"Yes." I smiled and kissed her. It was soft at first, but quickly grew more passionate and needy. I snaked my arms around her waist, and she threw her arms around my neck pulling me closer. Then, her legs wrapped around my waist. I traced my fingers over her body, slowly, from her hips to her breasts.

She got down and started to push me on to the bed. She smiled devilishly and pushed me once more, and I fell on the bed.

She straddled me and started to kiss me again. I rolled over and was now on top of her. I started to take her shirt off, and she helped. Once it was off, I started to kiss her again. She pouted and tugged at my shirt. I chuckled and took it off for her. We started to kiss again, more urgently, and soon our pants were off.

She was in her bra and underwear and I was in my boxers. When I took off her pants I smiled, she was wearing little boy's underwear. You know, the kind that has Spider-Man and Elmo on them? Well, hers just happened to have Cookie Monster on them. How she can fit in those, I'll never know, but they are pretty cute on her.

She stopped us, pulling back from my kiss. Then she blew into the air and cold air came out. That was weird. She got out of my lap, and got a glass of water that had been there since this afternoon.

"T.J", she said holding the glass up to my face, "breathe into this glass."

I did so, and the water immediately turned to ice. I was shocked, but she seemed pretty cool about it.

"Think about fire, T.J. Hold up your hand, think about fire, and snap your fingers."

When I did what she said, fire came out at my fingertips. An idea came to my mind. I grabbed one of her plotted flower plants, a tulip plant, and concentrated on making the buds bloom. They did this, and Olivia smiled brilliantly at me.

"Get dressed at meet me downstairs." She was already dressed in short-shorts, a tank top, tube socks and the Chucks I gave her with all the hearts on it.

While I was getting dressed, I thought about Olivia. She was perfect in every way, and I would never be without her again.

I ran down stairs, and came to see that everyone else in the family, except for Edward and Bella was there. They all looked at me and Olivia expectantly.

"Everyone, we found out what T.J's power is. He's an Elemental." She said this with so much excitement, that she was almost jumping up and down in excitement. I went over to her and held her by the waist so that she couldn't get too excited. She scowled at me playfully and I growled playfully back at her.

Carlisle spoke up then. "Would you like to demonstrate your powers to us?"

"Sure, why not."

I showed them each one of the elements, though the wind element was my favorite. I showed them by knocking Emmett down with just a wave of my hand. Alice and Olivia giggled uncontrollably.

This is my family, now. I will stay with them forever.
