A Summons and a Promise
Chapter Eleven
Alee's POV
Okay, so I drew a comic about how this character 'Boredom' kills 'Beanie Man'. In it, Boredom is bored and gets mad at Beanie Man, so he kills him. It's supposed to be a play on words because I noticed that a lot of people say that boredom kills. Anyhoo, so I made the comic to make a couple of my friends laugh, and they teacher saw me passing it out and sent me to the office and I got and hour of detention on Friday next week! Sucks, huh? Oh, well, I guess. On the day after (Friday), I was running up the steps to my house and I tripped and stubbed my toe. I stubbed it so hard; it's currently a lovely shade of purple. Isn't that nice? But, anyhoo, in this chapter Jasper and I continue talking and then I finally explain the powers and shit that Sano gave me.

"Yes." I whispered. Jasper stared at me. "Really?" He questioned. I nodded. "Ever since I first read about you. I know that Alice just died and that you guys were in love for the past fifty years, but I love you, too!! Please. Just don't worry about it. I mean after all, I waited this long not telling you. I can wait with you knowing, for twice that time." I added the last part with a slight choke in my voice. Jasper lifted my chin. "Don't cry, Alee. Please don't cry." He pleaded desperately. I smiled a little internally. "I won't. C'mon, though, don't I still have to tell everyone what happened?" He nodded relieved that I wasn't going to cry. "Follow me, I will call everyone down." He called out, "Edward! Rose! Emmet! Carlisle! Esme! Alee is awake and ready to talk to us all." I followed Jasper down to the living room, just as several blurs came in and focused in at the couch.
"Well, Alee, you start wherever you think things will make the most sense, alright?' Carlisle stated. I took a deep breathe. "Okay, well, I'm a guardian. That means an immortal like you guys. I help maintain the balance of all living things on Earth. I have powers that help me control and calm the mortal and immortal creatures of Earth. Most guardians are specialized in mortals, immortals, or semi- immortals. You are all immortals. The werewolves are semi-immortals. Turns out that, I, ever going against the norm, am destined to save the world and help restore order to the universe. The humans are destined to find out about you and the others semi- and immortals. They have been getting closer and closer to the truth for quite some time now, like with the videos on Youtube about the Angel sighting in Catalonia, and the Azov mermaid. (ANAB1)" They all stared at each other, shocked.
"I know that is a lot to take in, but, I will need your help. I no longer will get bruises from my new powers, but, I will get the tattoos. (ANAB2)" Emmet looked around the room and thought intensely for a moment. "Emmet, try not to have a stroke, just spit it out." I joked. He looked up, surprised that I had noticed.
"It's just, that well you're all immortally now, right?" He paused, looking to me for confirmation. I nodded and he continued. "Okay, so then do get like celestial powers, wings, magic? Anything? Are the guardians really, really, special in any way?" I smiled and stood in the center of the room. I concentrated on getting my wings out right. I felt my clothes dissipate, and be replaced by the mist/cloaks of celestial beings.
I concentrated harder, trying to bring out my entire inner celestial being. Unfortunately, Kira was hiding and had decided that she wanted to play hide and seek. Every time that I thought I had her; she would take off into another part of my mind. When I finally caught her, she smiled down at me and asked what she could do for me. 'I need you to come out.' Do I get to play? 'Yes.' Do I get to come all the way out? 'Yes. They all want to meet you.' Liar, Emmet was the one that brought me up. 'Yes, but can't you feel their emotions? Now they all can't wait to meet you. They want to see you and be awed.' Be awed, hmm? I do believe I can awe them. With that she came out.
I gasped, not being able to anticipate the enormous physical and mental change that I would be shoved through in the millionth of a millionth of a second.
Kira's POV
I now had hair down to my knees that blacker then midnight, with blood red streaked through out. My skin was pale, paler than the vampires that surrounded me. My mists (ANAB3) were a deep shade of purple. My wings rose gracefully out behind me. Let's just say that guardians are well endowed. I had an Asian body, small, but containing plenty of power. I grinned at the awe that the Cullens couldn't even begin to hide. I had done the present job that Alee had tempted me into. "Hello, I am Alee's celestial." I smiled warmly and waited for the Cullens to pick their jaws up off the floor. When Rose had sufficiently punished Emmet for staring, I re-introduced myself. "I'm Kira." Emmet playfully let out a wolf whistle that caused Rose to smack him again. I looked around at everyone else, trying to get an estimate of when they would stop staring. "Emmet, you know that Rose will only continue to hit you." I chastised. I looked over to Rose, "Please don't hit him, I fear that we guardians attract attention from all. I won't be out often for that reason. I am shy and don't like it when everyone in the room stops what they are doing to be near the guardian."
"Does everyone really come to be near you, Kira?" Bella asked. I turned and walked over to give her the traditional guardian greeting. When I came towards her she edged away slightly. I frowned for a moment before entering her mind. 'Bella, I am a guardian, and I mean no Earthly creature harm' I left her mind mere milliseconds after. I took another step towards her. This time she stayed where she was, and waited for me to reach her.
When I did, I bowed and said, "May you remain in balance for life." I smiled at her and blew peace and health at her soul. She smiled back, now completely at ease. "How did you do that?" I laughed. "It's a celestial thing." She nodded seriously. I looked around the room again, and walked over to the center, nodding at Edward for Bella to sit with him. "Well, now that you all have all met me, do you have any questions for me?" Everyone simultaneously said, "Yes." I sighed and muttered to myself, "Of course they do, idiot." Jasper, being the closest smirked. "You know, you don't have to answer anything, right?" "I know that, but if I didn't, then it could be considered rude and inconsiderate. I will answer them." I resolved. "Okay, go in a circle, I suppose. Jasper, you go first."
He thought a moment, "Okay, so have you ever met God or whoever rules everything?" I smiled to myself, "Okay, no one person rules the universe. It's all a democracy, like America. I happen to be in charge of murders' hells. I will let you know now, some of those places are not pretty, and I have to come up with and design them all." Jasper seemed surprised that the afterlife was run like America.
"Okay then so do Vampires go to the murders' hells as well?" Edward asked. "No. Vampires have their own afterlife judgment system. If they were considered to be 'good' then the go to their own heaven designed for their specific needs, however if they took lives unnecessarily, then they go to a hell that I came up with about ten thousand centuries ago. They keep their thirst and sexual urges, chained to a wall, for the equivilant of however many years of life they robbed a person of, and are left just out of reach of some human murderers who chose that over the hell that they would have gone to. It's really rather sad." Edward looked shell shocked that he was wrong, he would go to heaven when he died.
"So, uhh, Kira, can you like look at us and see all our past sins like in that Ghost Rider movie?" Emmet asked. I frowned at him, "Emmet. Please refrain from jumping ahead of others. They have questions that are equally important. Bella, I do believe that it's your turn?"
She thought hard for a moment before saying, "We need to go outside."
As we all headed outside, I wondered what she could possibly want to ask me that would require us all to be outside. Once we were a good fifty feet from the house, Bella asked her question, "Will you take me flying?" I laughed. "Bella I was worried about what you were going to ask me, but, yes, of course I will take you out for a flight. I need to stretch my wings anyhow." I walked to her and told her to move as little as possible. I stood behind her and held her around her stomach. "Don't move alright? You could knock me off balance and we could both fall. This is the most important thing. DO NOT MOVE. Got it?" She nodded and I spread my wings and flapped them. I felt us lifting and knew that the rest would be easy.
"Bella, do you have anywhere in particular that you would like to go?" I glided above the forest in the Cullen's backyard while she thought. "Can we go to the ocean?" I nodded. "Sure. Hold on." I flew towards where the scent of salt and fish was thickest. "Whoa!! Kira, is this the fastest that you can fly?" I shook my head. "No, we're only going about 120. All guardians can go a minimum of 250. The fastest that I've ever been clocked at is around 450, but I can and have gone faster. Why?" She shook her head, "I just never knew that you could move so fast with mere body power." I smiled. "Well, I AM immortal. She laughed. "Yeah I guess you are!" I flew a little faster.
"Here we are. First beach." I let her go and she looked around. "Wow, it all looks so different." "I know. Hey, is that cliff the one Alee was talking about, the one that you jumped off of?" "Yeah, why?" "Because I do believe that the werewolves have just noticed that we are here and Jacob is swimming to meet us. He should be here in about ten seconds." She shook her head muttering, "I swear, that boy will never learn. And now I'll smell like werewolf!" "Don't worry I'll send you cleanliness. The pack and coven won't be able to smell the other. For all the pack knows you will have been at home and for all the coven knows we will have been at the beach." She smiled gratefully at me and went over to the edge of the water, where she could see several figures coming towards us. I used my superior eyesight to scan them for Sam, the Alpha. I stood back as they all greeted Bella with hugs. She smacked them all lovingly for getting her wet. Jacob picked her up and was goofing off with her when I cleared my throat.
"You all have the worst sense of smell in the history of packs if you couldn't even smell me." Every head immediately snapped towards me. I smiled. "Why, hello. I am Kira, Alee's celestial. I do believe you should remember her, Jacob. The cheetah?" He visibly gulped and nodded fearfully. "Yeah, I remember her. She isn't here is she?!?!?" "No Jacob. She is otherwise occupied at the moment. Sam, may Alee and I speak with you while the others stay here and hang out?"
"But you said that Alee wasn't here!!" Jacob panicked. "No, I said that she was otherwise occupied. She is here, and she would really like you to, and I quote her on this, 'shut the fuck up, before I come out there and beat your cowardly little piece of chicken shit ass'." He nodded real quick. "Yes ma'am. Please let her know that I'm real sorry if I ever offended her in any way, any way at all." "I'll do that. Now go play whilst I chat with Sam, here." Jacob walked off, pushing the others in front of him. I smiled at how thorough Jacob could be. I turned to Sam.
"Now, Alee is in my mind growling and ranting at the impudence of Jacob. While she does that, I want to know if your tribe has any legends of the guardians. He hesitated, "Yes, we do. Why?" "I happen to be one. I needed to let you know that Sano says the prophesied one is here. She says that when you need her, she will come, but, you will have to call in the right way. She also said that you need to decide what the right way is and let me know, whatever that means." He looked at me. "Kira, right?" I nodded, "Yes, why?" "Kira is the name of the prophesied one. I was told that the prophesied one would deliver that message. Kira, you and Alee are the prophsiesed one." I tried to calm Alee and myself, without bursting. "Uhh, Sam, please don't think me inconsiderate, but I fear I may need a moment to understand and accept this all." He nodded, "Of course, of course. You should both probably get going anyhow." "Yes. I will be back soon." And with that, I went over to the rest of the pack and Bella, who were sitting on the sand, goofing off. I walked up behind Bella.
"Bella, we have to go now." She looked disappointed, but nodded anyways. "Thanks, Bella." I smiled gratefully down at her and hugged her seconds before we left the ground. I thought hard for a moment. "Bella? Do you trust me?" She hesitated then nodded. "Yes, I do trust you Kira." "Good." I moved my hand and held hers in mine. "Hold on tight." I stopped hugging her and let her float out away from me. She now flew alongside me, our interlocked hands the only thing keeping her from falling.
"Kira, this is the most terrifying, idiotic, and funnest thing that I have ever done!" She let out a whoop of joy. "It's awesome, huh?" She let out a raucous, 'Heck Yeah, it is!!!' I laughed as we lit upon the ground. "Fun, hmm?" "Yeah!! You guys have got to try it!" I laughed at her antics.
"I do believe that it's your turn now Emmet. To answer your question from before, no. I cannot make you see al your past sins, but I can sense them and remind you of them."
I turned to Rose. "And you?" "Yeah, well, why do people naturally flock to be around you?" "Well, because guardians are like the peacekeepers of the universe. We help keep everything in balance, and since nearly no one is in total balance, but total balance is the most peaceful that you ever feel, they come to us because they can sense as an instinctive urge that I can balance them."
Only Esme and Carlisle were left now. "Esme?" "Well, darling, do you still have to eat human food or…?" Leave it to Esme to worry about whether she could help keep me well nourished. "Me and live off of the power of the sun now. Neither of us HAS to eat anything else ever again, if we don't want to." She nodded. "Thank you, dear." "Of course Esme."
"Well, since I am the last one, Kira, do you mind if I test some of your blood and check your vitals?" Of course Carlisle would want to know about my well being and study me. "No, go ahead." I thought a moment. "Here, you won't need a needle this way." I mentally told an ounce of my blood to leave my body through my pores and clump together. Ten seconds later, there was a floating ball of my blood in front of 'Clump up and compress yourselves.' I commanded the ball. It wiggled and compressed until it was the size of a pea. I put my hands under it, letting it fall, and handed it to Carlisle. "Here you go, Carlisle. Let me know if you need any more." He looked slightly sick. "Of course, Kira." I looked around and saw that I was no longer needed at the moment. "If that's all, then I do believe Alee would like her body back." I waited for objections. Once I was assured that there were none and everyone said goodbye, I went back into my home in Alee's mind.
I looked around. "When did we get outside?" Jasper looked at me worriedly. "Alee, don't you remember, you let Kira out and she gave Bella a ride." I thought for a second. "Oh, yeah, now I remember! Thanks Jasper." I blushed. "No problem, Alee." Of he was human I swear that he would have blushed just a little, too. "Hey, Jasper, weren't we supposed to go and talk?" He looked surprised that I remembered. "Uh, yeah, yeah we were. You're sure that you aren't tired or anything?" I closed my eyes for a minute, running a mental diagnostic of my body. "Nope, I'm good!" I replied cheerfully. "Let's go, Jasper!" I looked over at him. "Do you want to fly or run?" He looked over to me. "Whoa, can you keep up with me if we run?"
"I have a snowballs chance in hell!" He sighed in defeat. "Well, since we have to stay together since you don't know where to go, it isn't accessible by car and I have no idea how to run and keep you from falling, I suppose we're flying." I turned away. "Well, don't jump up and down in joy, there Jas." I muttered. "What?" He questioned, "I couldn't hear you." I turned back to him and smiled. "Nothing, nothing tra la la!" (ANAB4) I smiled wider as he gave me one of the 0.o looks. I brought my wings out and stretched them. "Okay, Jasper, give me your hand."
He grabbed my hand and held on with a death grip. "Little afraid of flying are we?" I teased as we took off. He merely glared as I laughed. "Where to, Jasper?" He looked around. "I don't know. Wait how fast can you go?" I sighed. "Truthfully, I, apparently, have never been clocked at my highest speed, but Kira tells me that I was clocked at around 450 mph. Why?" He turned to look at me. "Because we need to go someplace that's deserted, so I don't make anyone suicidal. I researched it on the net and the closest place that would work is around 1,000 miles away." I stared at him until he shifted uncomfortably. "What?" I blinked. "Is there really that many people in the world?!" He stared at me now. "Alee, there is minimum of a billion people in the world. Be happy that we aren't in China!" (ANAB5) I grinned. "I guess you're right, so, which direction?" He looked around, getting his bearings.
"Fly as fast as you can for thirty minutes in that direction." He pointed straight ahead. "You got it." I took off. I smiled, loving the way the air felt as it rushed over my face and across my body. "YEAH!!! WHOO-HOO-HOO!!!!" I screamed. "Alee, you're crazy!!" Jasper yelled. "I know! Isn't this cool?!?" He took a deep breath and looked at the wonderful scenery that was rushing by beneath us. "Yes! I love it!" I laughed. "ALEE!!" Jasper yelled. "Stop, we passed it!" I pulled my wings up, causing us to come to a dead stop and fall a few feet before I balanced out and circled the patch of forest Jasper had told me to stop at. After I had circled for a minute, Jasper asked if I ever planned on landing. "Yes," I snapped. "I need to find somewhere that i can land at without hurting my wings." I explained. Right as I said it, I found the perfect little clearing to land at. "Hold on tight!" I yelled as I spiraled down to the clearing, as I pulled Jasper closer to me.
"Damn, Alee, we should go again, I think we missed some branches!" Jasper was mad at me. I could feel it. "Hey! Don't you yell at me! KIRA does this all the time! NOT ME!!" I turned away and stalked off to a tree that had grown perfectly for it to be a chair. Jasper stayed where he was. "I'm sorry, Alee." I softened. I knew he meant it. "Yeah, well, whatever. Come sit down." He came and tentatively sat next to me. "You know I really am sorry." I smiled over at him, "I know. Don't worry about it." I turned to face him. "So, tell me something about why you started cutting yourself."
Jasper started out shakily, "I wanted to mourn Alice. I know that you're supposed to mourn because the grieving process, but I just couldn't express how depressed I really was without making everyone in Forks suicidal. I just wanted to miss her, and that was the only thing that I could think of that didn't hurt others." I watched him closely.
"You know, when I was in my dimension, my parents got divorced, both my grandpa's died, my great grandma died and I had, like, the smallest support net, ever. It was bad. I was really depressed and would cry often, sometimes in the middle of class. It was bad. But, you know? I never hurt my body. 'Cause, y'know, you only get one, and I wanted mine to be in top working order. I have a friend, now, that cuts himself though. (ANAB6) When I found out, I went online and did some research on cutting and why people do it." I watched him even more closely for his reaction. "The number one reason that people cut themselves is because they can't really express their anger or feelings. Most people will be fine and stop if they get a chance to express themselves. They will normally stop after a while. I know that you, obviously, just about never get the chance to really express yourself, but you know, just tell me and I will be more than happy to take you here and help you blow off steam."
He looked up at me. I was sure that if he could, he would have been crying. "I know you miss her Jasper, but you and I both know that she would never have wanted this. You don't need to do this to yourself. You have the all of you family and me that would gladly give their life for you. Trust me, you'll be fine."
He let out a dry sob. "I- I m- miss her s-so m-mu-much Alee!! WHY?!?! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO DIE!?!?!? I NEED HER!! SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING BAD! SHE DIDN'T DESERVE THIS!! VICTORIA NEVER EVEN HAD THE RIGHT TO LOOK AT HER!! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO GO?!?!?! ALEE, I STILL NEED HER SO MUCH!!!!!" Jasper cried. "I know Jas. I know." We both cried for the departed soul of Alice.
