Disclaimer: This is Stephanie Meyer's world. I am just adding my thoughts to it.
I want to thank everyone for reading and reviewing the previous chapter. Here is the chapter you must have been waiting on. Ethan will tell his secret. I hope you enjoy.
With this said, here is chapter five. Let's begin!
Chapter 5 - Secret
I take a good look, and I am sure that I saw a flash of silver. And it isn't the first time I saw it, now I am sure of seeing it in Ethan's eyes as well. But can it be? I take another look again, and try something different. I try to reach out with my mind, and see if I can hear thoughts.
But instead of finding another mind, I am blocked by a shield. The only person I know who could do that, is my grandma Bella. But she is back in Forks. I try to probe the shield, and see if I can find a way to enter. But this mind is heavily protected, and I realize my breathing grows harder. It's no use, and I give up.
The silver is still there, and it hasn't moved. I decide to just take a closer look. I push my back paws in the mud and almost fly towards the spot. But when I get there, there is no one. I look around and sniff. All I smell, is the same sweet smell I have been smelling all the time. But it is so strong here, he must have left.
Or could he be still here? No, that is impossible. I look around me, but there is nothing to be seen. I suddenly hear something behind me, the hairs on my neck raise as I turn around. But what I see is not a human, nor a vampire. What I see, is a beautiful mountain lion. I freeze, but he does nothing. I then realize he is looking at me.
But when I meet his eyes, I gasp. They are blue, but not just any blue. They are a piercing blue, with silver flashes. Before I can even understand this, he disappeared. I try to follow the mountain lion, thinking this can't be happening.
He is nowhere to be seen, his scent is everywhere… I can't even track him. I growl softly, and decide to head back home. My speed is slow, I don't believe it… but probing the mind, was heavy. I had no idea, that anyone could protect his thoughts that well. I wonder if the mountain lion and the silver flash I saw were the same person, and if this person was Ethan.
I reach the house, and I shift back before walking through the door. The whole house is silent, when I enter the kitchen there is a sticky note on the fridge. I pull it off, and read what my mom wrote on it. Apperently, they went to the airport. But it didn't say why, everyone came along. And they will be back before midnight.
I yawn lightly, and decide on a long shower before I go to bed. I slowly make my way to my room. And I can't help but think of what I have seen. When I look towards my desk, I notice that my phone is lighting up. Which means I have a text, not thinking much of it I grab the phone and open the text.
Hey Rashel, hope you got home alright. Can't wait to see the script, tomorrow. – E
Ethan send her a text, but when? When she looks at the time, she realizes it was twenty minutes ago. So, he was home twenty minutes ago. But I saw that flash of silver around that time as well, maybe Ethan wasn't there. It is impossible, anyway. But I quickly remember all the times when I thought something was impossible, it was real in the end.
I shake my head, and decide to stop thinking about it for the night. I make my way into the bathroom, and turn on the shower. I turn the heat up high before undressing from my damp clothes. I throw them in the hamper and step into the shower.
I close my eyes, and look up. The water is cascading over my body, and it relaxes every muscle in my body. When my long hair is wet, I add the shampoo and massage it into my hair. After rinsing it out, I use my conditioner which I also rinse out. I decide to scub my skin thoroughly, before just standing under the waterfall of steaming water.
After what feels like hours, I step out of the shower. I bend forward and wrap the towel around my hair, and then also wrap a fluffy towel around my body. I smell the towel, and it makes me smile. It smells so homey.
I walk into my room, and into my walk-in closet. I dry my body off, before dropping the towel to the floor. I then look for a T-shirt, when I find the black T-shirt which is three sizes bigger I pull it over my head. It falls down to mid-thigh. I bend forward and shake out my wavy hair.
When looking in the full length mirror, I can see that my skin is looking a little paler. It usually happens when I am very tired. There is something that helps quickly, blood. I don't need it to survive, but my mom told me that I might feel the need to have some every now and again.
I will just go hunt tomorrow, I decide. I take the phone on my desk with me. With the phone in my hand, I switch off the big light. The small lamp on my nightstand is still burning, lighting the path to my bed. I slide under the covers, before reading the text again.
He really texted me, just like he said. I smile and type a reply. As I bite my lip, I delete it and start over. I do this a couple of times, before settling on something simple.
Hey Ethan! I sure got home alright, thanks. Hope the script is good. – R
I press send and put in my headphones and turn on the music on my phone. I close my eyes and sing softly along the song. I then feel my phone vibrate, but I feel nervous to look who it is. I take a deep breath and open my eyes. I look down at my phone and open the text. Ethan.
I certainly hope so, as well. How come you are still awake? – E
I look at the time and realize it's already nearing midnight. Wow, I didn't realize it was this late. Instead of answering his question, I decide to evade it.
I could ask you the same, Ethan. – R
Within a minute, the phone vibrates again. And this time, I feel no nervousness and I even smile as I open the text.
Just couldn't sleep. I'm glad you texted back, I was getting worried. – E
Worried? Worried about what, I wonder to myself. I admit, it took me a bit long to reply. But it was less than two hours.
No need to worry, I just went for a long run and didn't bother to check my phone before entering the shower. – R
I lie, knowing damn well that I checked it. But I don't want to sound too eager. I turn on the music a bit higher, drowning out my thoughts. I know, I told myself not to think about what I saw in the woods. But I can't help but wonder what or who is was.
I open the new text, after feeling my phone vibrate.
You run? Maybe we can race each other, someday. – E
I smile, and wonder if I should ask what I really want to ask. Oh what the hell! Just do it, I say to my head.
Is that a date? – R
I figured he wouldn't reply as quick to that, certainly because it is a commitment. Maybe he doesn't even want to make it, maybe all he needs is just a friend. And as my imprint, I have to obey. I get nervous. But when after half a minute my phone vibrates, I smile as I see his answer.
Mhm. Tomorrow, 7pm. At the edge of the woods. Sweet dreams, Rashel. – E
I am bouncing on the bed, as I read and re-read the text. I have a date!
Sweet dreams, Ethan. – R
I turn on the alarm, before putting my phone on the nightstand and flipping off the light. I snuggle under the blankets and close my eyes, with the biggest smile painting my face. I quickly fall asleep.
Before I know it, I can feel the sun burning onto my eyelids and my phone is beeping. It is telling me that's time to wake up, and get ready for the day. When I remember what day it today is, I jump out of bed and run into the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror, my hair is even curlier than usual. It looks amazing. And as I smile, I notice someone behind me. When I realize who it is, I turn around and fall around her neck.
"Alice! What are you doing here?" I ask my aunt, that is why they went to the airport of course. I feel her hug me back, and if I wasn't part vampire… she would have crushed me. Even though she is almost a foot shorter than I am.
"Rashel… good morning! I just wanted to visit my favorite niece." She smiles at me, and I can see something in her eyes shimmer. I sigh and nod, she yelp in pleasure and runs into my closet.
I follow her and see that she is jumping from side to side, she must be looking for something specific.
"Did mom tell you?" I ask her, knowing she would know what I was referring to. She halts her movements for a bit and nods.
"She told me about him, and I am making sure he will fall for you." She returns to finding the clothes she wants, and she doesn't catch how my cheeks turn crimson. I walk out of the closet and sit down on my big bed.
Within a minute, Alice comes out and she is holding the clothes in her hands. "Go on… take a shower. Then we can get your hair and make-up done." She tells me, and I know there is no fighting her over this.
I make my way to my bathroom and pull off my shirt, before slipping under the shower that is already running. How did she do that? I shake my head with a smile, my aunt sure is a little crazy. But I love her to bits. I just hope she won't overdo it.
After ten minutes, I step out of the shower and wrap the towel I used yesterday around my body. I walk back into my room, and Alice is already prepared with hairspray and clips. I sit down in the chair in front of the mirror and let Alice do her work. Within a minute she is done with my hair.
When I look in the mirror, I see she made my bangs sweep to the side. And adding two tiny diamonds just above my ear to keep it secure. I smile, it looks casual but still special. She then twists my chair around and makes me close my eyes.
After another short minute, she turns the chairs back round to face the mirror. When I open my eyes, I almost gasp. She used brown colors, dark brown but blending it lighter to just below my brown. And it looks glittery. She adds some lipgloss and smiles down at her result.
"Now… time for the clothes, my dear." She tells me, and holds up the clothes. As I see what she picked out I smile.
A black skirt, that stops about an inch or five above my knee. And hugs my legs tightly. As a top, she chose a burgundy top. Which is draped across my shoulder, leaving the other bare. And as shoes, she picked a pair of black pumps.
I look at myself in the mirror, she suddenly is standing next to me and hands me something. When I look down, at what I have in my hand… my eyes quickly move back to Alice.
"I can't take this, Jasper gave it to you." I look back down at the necklace of white gold, with a heart shaped pendant… which is filled with tiny diamonds. I remember how I always loved this necklace.
She closed my hand around the necklace, and smiles up at me encouragingly. "We both want you to have it, it brought me luck. So, it'll bring you luck as well."
I lean down and kiss her cheek, I hand her the necklace and she puts it around my neck. After looking myself over, I decide I look beautiful and walk with Alice downstairs. I am greeted with a scent of freshly baked waffles, and quicken my pace to make sure my brothers didn't finish all of them.
"Good morning, I see that Alice already made herself known." My mom smiles at Alice before handing me a warm waffle. "You look beautiful, sweetie… Alice did a great job. As usual."
I nod and eat my waffle in silence. I then realize something, I never asked if Alice came alone. And just as I'm about to ask, I see Jasper walk into the kitchen and kiss the top of Alice's head.
"Morning, Rash… Alice got to you, I see." He tells me, in his southern drawl. And I nod, he laughs and is about to ruffle my hair. But Alice beats him to it.
"Don't you dare! Besides… didn't you have anything to tell her?" Alice says, and it makes me curious. I then see Jasper looking back at me, and his smile is so genuine. I know it won't be anything bad.
"We decided to move here, you are looking at the new students in your high school!" My mouth drops, and I can't believe it. I jump off of my seat and hug my aunt and uncle tightly to me.
"Why? How? When?" I ask them, not sure what I want to know first. I hear Alice giggle and Jasper wraps an arm around her.
"Bella and Edward went to Rome, Rosalie and Emmet decided to go on Safari, Esmee and Carlisle wanted a vacation on Isle Esmee. But we decided to come visit you, and we actually just decided on the plane we could move here. We are excited to go back to high school." Alice explains to me.
I hug them again and smile, I love Alice and Jasper. I can't believe they are moving here. I kiss both of them on the cheek and eat my breakfast with a big smile on my face. After I finish breakfast, I realize Will is nowhere to be seen. When I ask my mom about it, she just says Kayla and it is all I need to know. I am happy for my brother. But I just hope Ethan and me will soon be together as well.
My phone! I race upstairs and grab my phone from my nightstand. When I look at it, there is a new text message. I open it, and see that it's from Ethan.
Meet me in the parking lot. – E
I feel all kinds of butterflies in my stomach and I look at the time. If I leave now, we can have fifteen minutes together before first period starts. I grab my bag and some books and race back downstairs. Without saying anything, I go another flight down into the garage. I grab the key from the hook and unlock my car.
I throw the bag inside of the car and start the engine. I push the button and see that the garage door opens up. I back out of the garage, and see a yellow Porsche on the driveway. Alice's baby, I smile to myself. When I look back into the garage, I see Alice and Jasper. I turn the car around, and wait for them to get in the car. When they are seated, I quickly drive down the long driveway and open the iron gate.
Within fifteen minutes, we see the school. The drive over here was quiet, and it was pleasant. As I guide my Mustang onto the parking lot, my eyes search for a black Camaro. When I spot it, I smile and drive closer. Ethan is leaning on the hood of the car and smiling at me.
I hear someone hissing, well two someones. I look next to me, and I see that Alice has a dark look across her face. And when I look back at Jasper, I can see the same look on his face. They scare me. I look back at Ethan, and his eyes have that same silver shimmer over them. I didn't imagine anything. Something is up.
Ethan's body is all stiff and it seems like he is trembling. Before I can say or do anything, he steps into his car and locks his doors. I park the car next to his, and when I try to look at him he turns his head away from me. I can feel a knife cut through me, my imprint turned away from me.
I look over at Alice, and she seemed to have a grip on herself. She looks at me, and I can see how much strength she is using to say the words.
"Get out of the car, talk to him. He will explain… we need to go now. Hurry!" She yells the last word at me, and I jump. Making sure I move as fast as I can. Once I am standing next to my car, Alice shifts into the driver seat and backs up the car. She drives away like a ghost is following her.
I turn to the black Camaro, and knock on the window. I expected to see blue eyes, with a silver shimmer. But when Ethan turns his head to me, his eyes are normal. Well, as much as you can call piercing, blue eyes normal.
He looks around the lot, and when he sees no one is there he gets out. He looks down at me, and his shoulders are stiff. And it's like he is expecting something to happen any moment. I look into his eyes, and I can see mixed emotions playing on them.
"Vampires…" He whispers, and I nod. "But you're not, you are something I don't recognize." He tells me, his eyes are looking into mine.
"What are you?" I ask him in a soft voice. He looks around, and I hear cars nearing. He bends down to me, I feel his breath on my ear and my whole body shivers.
"Not here, meet me here after last period." His voice sounds guarded and I just nod. Before standing back up, he kisses my cheeks softly. Before I can say anything, he was gone. I hold my cheek and where he kissed me, my skin is on fire.
I slowly make my way inside of the building, and like I am in a trance… I make my way to first period. Kayla is already waiting for me, in the seat next to mine. I smile at her, and I see that she is so happy. I sit down in my seat and she hugs me around the neck.
I gasp and it takes me a minute before hugging her back. If I would have been human, she might have hurt me. After a bit, she releases me.
"He told me, about the whole imprinting thing. And then we kissed." She tells me, and a part of me is happy for both of them. But there is another part that doesn't need to hear the details.
"Gross! He's my brother." I tell her with a smile, letting her know that I am just joking. She giggles and then turns to face the front of the room. The teacher just walked in and class is starting.
Before someone realizes it, lunch strolls by. Together with Kayla, I make my way into the cafeteria. My mind keeps wandering to Ethan. Where is he? What is he doing? What is he going to tell me?
Without thinking about anything, I get my food and follow Kayla to a table. When we sit down, I see that we are just with us two. But before I even have a chance to ask, Chase and Leah appear and sit down at our table.
"Where is Will?" Kayla asks Chase, I see that Chase shrugs. The smile that Kayla had on her face the whole morning, quickly fades away. She plays around with her food, and I can't help but do the same.
"Why all these sad faces?" A voice booms above us, and I hear Kayla shriek. She jumps up and into the arms of Will. Will laughs before setting her down on her feet, he leans down and gives her a soft kiss on her lips.
He then takes the seat next to Kayla, and wraps an arm around her as she eats happily. I look over at Leah and she is wrapped up in a conversation with Chase. I feel so left out, but there is no place to go for me.
I look around, and try to spot Ethan. But he is nowhere to be seen, and this isn't the first time. I haven't seen him in the cafeteria, ever. I am not eating, so I decide to just dump my food. As I stand up with the food, I can see Will looking at it. I sigh and hand him over the food.
He digs into it, and I make my way out of the crowded room. When I get outside, I lean against the wall. I close my eyes, and for once I feel how tired my body is. I can't believe that probing that mind yesterday has drained me of my energy. I need blood.
But before I can move, my legs give out under me. There is no chance to catch myself, my arms feel like jelly. I am waiting for my head to hit the floor, and hear a cracking sound. But it never comes.
Warm arms are holding me up, and when I open my eyes… I can see two blue eyes hovering above me. Ethan. Wait, warm? How can that be possible?
"Are you okay? You look pale." He tells me, and I know that I must look horrible. I just nod, and expect him to leave now. But instead, he sits me down on the floor and joins me.
"I just…" I want to tell him, I want to tell him that I need blood. But how can I tell someone that?
"You just what?" He asks me, as he brushes the strands of hair away from my eyes.
"Blood." I tell him, and I see him stiffen. His hands falls limp to the side and he looks straight forward.
"You need blood?" He asks me, and I nod.
"Animal blood." I tell him, I feel my head fall onto his shoulder. And his body relaxes. He must have thought I meant human blood.
"You drink animal blood. But you don't smell like a vampire." He whispers to himself, his head is absentmindedly circling his thumb over my hand. He then looks down at me.
"What are you?" He asks me, the same questions I asked him before. I shake my head.
"Not here, I know… I will be right back." He tells me, and before I can protest he is gone. How can he be so fast? I lean my head against the wall, and close my eyes.
After what feels like a second, someone is gently shaking me. I look up at Ethan, and he smiles sadly at me. He bends down and puts an arm under my knees and one behind my neck and lifts me up in his arms. I lean my head against his shoulder and I close my eyes again.
"I am sorry, I did this to you." He whispers to me, but it is so soft that I am not even sure that is what he said.
I feel wind whipping around us, and before I know it I feel leather under me. When I open my eyes, I see that I am sitting in his black Camaro. He is sitting in the driver's seat, and he starts the engine.
"We need to get you some blood, I will take care of you." He tells me, and he drives away. My eye lids feel too heavy, and I just leave my eyes closed. The car seems to slow down, and someone is lifting me up in his arms. I recognize the scent, and I know that I am in Ethan's arms.
The wind is colder here, and I shiver closer against him. His arms tighten around me. He starts moving, and suddenly the wind is gone. I try to open my eyes. And all I see, is dark wood.
"Oh my, what happened? Is she okay?" I hear a female voice say.
"She needs animal blood, can you keep an eye on her?" Ethan asks the girl. And the girl must have agreed, because I feel something soft under me.
"I will be back soon, Rashel." Ethan whispers in my ear and then kisses my forehead softly.
I hear him close the door behind him, and then I feel the bed denting in. My nose is filled with the same scent Ethan has, but a little different. More feminine. I feel a hand on my forehead, and even though she must be related to Ethan… her skin is not as warm as his.
I don't shiver when I feel her hand on my forehead, and she notices it. "You must have been used to cold." She tells me, and her hand on my head feels good. It makes my body ache less, and I wonder how that is possible.
"I am Tanya, Ethan has told me about you. He has been trying to figure you out, but I am assuming he hasn't yet." She tells me, and her voice calms me down. I relax as she keeps talking to me.
"I am his sister, but he will tell you about us." She explains to me, and in a way I feel something disappear from me. Maybe I subconsciously was worried about her.
I hear a door open, and the head leaves my hand. I whimper at the loss, but I hear Ethan and Tanya whisper about something. I then feel someone lifting me up in his lap, and holding a cup to my lips. I smell the blood, and it is still warm.
Ethan rubs his free hand up and down my arm as I slowly sip on the blood. I can feel the blood strengthen me, and I can slowly open my eyes. As they flutter open, I can see a small girl looking at us with a worried look. She must be Tanya.
As Ethan is still holding the cup to my lips, and I sip the blood slowly… I look Tanya over. She has long blonde hair, it reaches past her hips. It is straight and almost looks fake. She has an angelic face with pale skin. When I look at her eyes, I see they are violet. But something tells me that she will get the same silver shimmer over them at times.
When the cup is finished, Ethan hands it to Tanya. She smiles at me. And I smile back at her. The blood really helped, and I probably could move away. But Ethan is holding me tight, and I don't even want to move away.
"Are you feeling any better?" Ethan asks me, and I nod.
"Thank you, I am sorry… I don't usually need blood, but…" I start to say, but he interrupts me.
"It's okay, it was my fault." As I want to ask what he means, he shushes me.
"Will you just listen to me? I promise to explain everything, and if you have still questions… ask me, okay?" He asks me and I nod. His arms tighten around me, and Tanya nods and leaves the room.
"I will come by a bit later." She says with a smile before leaving the room. I look around and realize I am laying on a bed, Ethan's bed. And this is his room, it's so lights. His walls are a very light blue and his carpet is white, with dark brown furniture.
He takes a deep breath and I decide to listen to him closely. He is telling me his secret and I will have to tell him mine as well. I get comfortable in his arms and I sense him smile. He kisses the top of my head before lifting my chin up to meet his eyes.
"A fae is a magical being, they have magical abilities. Many, many year ago they lived together with humans. But when time moved by, the humans became their enemy. The decided to move back to their own land. There they lived many thousands of years in peace. But the fae have one problem, there are more female fae as male fae. Even though the fae is immortal, this is a problem. Sometimes they come back to earth, and try to find a mate. The human will impregnate the fae and she will go back to Faery to have her baby, hoping it will be a boy.
"A fea can control all four element. Water, fire, air and earth. But we are prone to have one we can control best. The element we choose to be The Element, is chosen around the age of fifteen. A fae who chooses water, will be able to manipulate water. For example, he can create a tsunami with a flick of his finger. A fae who has chosen an different element can still create a tsunami, but it is much less powerful. That is the same for every element. When a fae chooses an element, he will be strongest in that. He can still control the other elements, but to a much less strength.
"A fae who has chosen fire can control and manipulate fire. As an example, he can transform a small spark into a raging inferno. The fire fae tend to have a bit of a temper, and back in our land… the fire fae were the warriors and protectors. The skin of a fire fae is much hotter than any of the other fae. Just like you, we run a little hotter.
"A fae who choose air can control and manipulate air. He would be able to create hurricanes. They have trouble being in crowded places, so they are mostly find in wide open towns. A fae who choose eart, can control and manipulate the earth. He can cause earthquakes, or make a seed grow into a tree within a minute. They are the most logical thinkers of all the fae, and they often are the leader.
"Besides the powers a fae receives from choosing an element, the fae has many other abilities. In fairytales, the fae can fly. But in reality it is different. We cannot fly, but we can teleport. We call it jump from one place to the other. That is how we have survived so many years. Each time a human thinks he will discover us, we jump to a new place. I can take things with me, pretty much everything. But how heavier the human or object, the harder it is for me.
"As a fae I can hide myself from anyone, you could call it becoming invisible. But in reality, it's like I throw a blanket over me… a faery blanket. You must have experienced the feeling in the woods as well, I was there… I was just invisible to the human eye. Or in your case, wolf's eye.
"Besides ourselves, we can glamour objects as well. Something that looks like a abandoned house, is in reality a palace. People who don't believe in this, they will never be able to see it. But you, since you now know about it… you will see things that you might have never noticed before.
"A fae has the ability to control minds. I only have to look someone in the eye and he will do anything I tell him to do. As well as entering someone mind, I can protect mine from others. Just like you have experienced in the woods, yesterday. The shield is so strong, that no one could break through. You must have experienced the draining it had on you.
"A fae has the ability to change shapes. Even though we can change in more than one animal, we all have our favorite. Like you have seen, I prefer the mountain lion. Not only can we shift into animals, we can shift into humans as well.
"From time to time, a human has some kind of relationship with a faery. And this sometimes leads to marriage. A man might go to the land of the fae to live with his bride or he might bring his fae bride back to his home. There are strict rules to remain married to a fae. A human husband must never scold or strike his wife or refer to her as being a fae. If he does, the she immediately returns to fairyland.
"My mother is fae, she came to Earth to find a mate. Faeries do this quite often, they are starting to disappear. So the female fae decide to come to your world, and find a willing male to impregnate them. They usually go back to their own land, and never come back. But my mom stayed, she fell in love with my dad. Something that doesn't happen often.
"I am half human and half fae. Even though I am just half fae, I have the same gifts and their scent. That is why your vampires acted like that. They smelled me. Fae blood is like a expensive brandy. One sip, and they are drunk and can't resist anymore.
"Vampires are a fae's worst enemy. If one would follow us into our land. The whole fae race would become extinct. That is why I stiffened when you told me, that you needed blood. I thought that since I was so close, that you realized what I was. And that you wanted my blood." He concludes. The whole time he talked about this, his eyes never left mind. And I can feel that he is scared of my reaction.
"You are fae?" I ask him and he nods. My family is his worst enemy.
"Do you have any questions?" He asks me, suddenly much more relaxed that I didn't leave.
"How old are you?" I ask him, since he told me he was immortal… just like me.
"I am 23, but like you must have noticed everybody thinks I am seventeen." He tells me and I nod, he is a junior after all.
"Why do your eyes turn silver?" I ask him. And I hear him sigh.
"I knew that you saw it yesterday, when we were talking about Beth. There are two reasons why they shift color sometimes. One is when I am angry, they show you a glimpse of my true feelings. When you saw it the first time, I was so furious at Beth. At the way she treated you…" He tells me, and his eyes are silvery again. He turns his head away, he is ashamed of them?
I turn his head to me and rub his cheek with my thumb. "Don't hide from me?" I ask him. And he nods his head.
"What is the second reason?" I ask him.
"When I use my magic, in the woods you saw me shifted. I used my magic. When I shift into an animal, my eyes will always be the blue and silver." He looks down at me, and I can see the silver in his eyes slowly evaporate.
"Beautiful." I whisper softly as my finger touches just below his eye. He smiles down at me and kisses my forehead. And I smile at how much I like feeling his lips on my forehead.
"What element did you choose?" I ask him, but I already know the answer.
"Fire… Tanya chose wind, that is why her skin is cold. And that is also a reason why she isn't in school. She doesn't want to be locked up." He tells me and I nod. It sound logical.
"Are there more?" I ask him and I feel him nod.
"My mom, Ella, and our brother, Allen. Our names are all descended from fae words. Ella means 'beautiful fairy', Allen comes from 'army of elves', Tanya means 'fairy princess' and my name means 'fairy'." He tells me.
"What did they choose?" I ask him.
"My mom is a water fae, and Allen is an earth fae. We all chose something different, but this is a good advantage for us. That way we will always be able to protect each other against anyone." He explains.
"Will you tell me about you?" He asks me and I nod. Without moving away from him, I start telling him my story.
"Edward, my grandfather, was turned into a vampire in 1918. He was seventeen of age. When he was over ninety years old, he met Bella. She was human, they fell in love. But not without trouble. They fought vampires off, and Bella wanted to be with him forever.
"They got married, but Bella wanted to experience all human things. She convinced Edward to make love with her, and something that no one thought would be possible… happened. Bella got pregnant, at first Edward didn't want the baby. He saw how the fetus was killing the woman he loved from the inside out.
"But Bella didn't want to give up her baby, she told Edward that as soon as the baby needs to come out… he could turn her. But before it was even time, the baby broke her spine. But by then, Edward read his thoughts and knew that the baby didn't want to hurt Bella.
"When the baby was born, Bella died. But Edward was on time and saved her. He injected his venom. And she became a vampire. Their baby, Renesmee… is my mother. She is half human and half vampire.
"When all of this happened, they were back in Forks. And they lived near La Push. Do you know about the La Push pack?" I ask him, wondering if he needs explanation about that as well.
"I know about them, the fae used to work together with them." He explains to me, which was obvious since they had the same enemy. I nod and continue my story.
"My dad, Jacob Black, was pack leader and he imprinted on my mom. When my mom was six years old, she had my two brothers. Because of her vampire half, she grew up much faster… by the time she was six human years, she looked like a woman in her early twenties. And that is how she still looks.
"My brothers and me, we are half wolf, a quarter human and a quarter vampire. That is why I smelled so unique to you. There are only three of us in the whole world." I tell him and he is looking straight forward.
"Do you have powers?" He asks me, and I nod.
"In human form, our body heals within second. We posses superhuman strength and speed, we also have a high durability rate with sharp senses. Once turned into a wolf, we have enhanced superhuman strength and speed. We can also communicate with our pack telepathically. Our teeth can cut through the hard body of a vampire with ease.
"You might wonder if me and my brothers are different, since there is a part vampire is us. And yeah, there is a difference. In human form, our skin is harder and it has a faint glow in the sunlight. All are senses are sharper and we are stronger and faster as our pack members.
"Those are the powers we all three have, but because there is vampire in us… I have some other powers. My brothers and I can all read minds, we got that from Edward. But I have a different power as well, I can control the minds of people. I used to do this a lot when I was younger, I always made my brothers gave up their toys. I learned to control it, and I only use it now when I am in danger. But with this power comes something else at well, I am able to have silent conversations with people that normally aren't mind readers. That is what I love most about it." I tell him and I see him smile down at me.
"What are you smiling about?" I ask him confused, but with a small smile playing on my lips.
"You imprinted on me, didn't you?" He asks me, and a blush creeps up onto my cheeks. I nod and I can see his smile widen even more.
"I could feel it, I have read about it… but it is amazing to feel it." He tells me, and his arms tighten around me.
"Are you okay with it, me being what I am and having imprinted on you?" I ask him, softly. Instead of answering, he looks deep in my eyes and his thumb brushes my cheek.
His face comes closer and he softly presses his lips against mine. Our lips move against each other, like they were made for it. My hand is pressed against his chest as he pulls away from me.
"I am more than okay with it." He tells me and I smile. I lean up for a soft peck, I then cuddle into his side and we just lay together on his bed.
"Do you still want to go for that run?" He asks me, and I look up at him and nod excitedly. He laughs softly and kisses my forehead again before getting out of bed.
Tanya enters the room, holding clothes in her arms. "You look absolutely fabulous, but you can't run with that. These are my mom's, she won't mind."
I thank her and she leaves the room again, I look back at Ethan and he is already changed. "How do you do that?" I ask him and he just smiles. I shake my head and ask where the bathroom is.
He shows me the way and I quickly change into the clothes Tanya gave me. They are a perfect fit, and when I appear in Ethan's room again, wearing black running shorts and a red tank top with white running shoes… he is laying on his bed.
I smile at him, and he stands up faster than a human eye can follow. No more secrets, and I like the feeling of that. He walks over to me and bends down to softly kiss my lips again.
"I want to show you something. Wrap your arms around me and close your eyes." I do as he says and I feel his arms wrap around me. I pinch my eyes closed. Suddenly the warmth of the room is gone, and a wind is whipping around us. My head feels a little light, and he needs to hold me up.
"Sorry… you will get used to the feeling, if you want to?" He asks me, and I nod vigorously.
I look around me, and I see that we are in the woods. I smile at him and take a hold of his hand. He looks down at me and squeezes it gently.
"Go on, I will give you a head start." He tells me, and I roll my eyes.
"I don't need a head start." I smile at him, but before he can say anything… I am gone. I leave him standing there, and I know he must be stunned. But within a second he is running next to me.
I giggle and keep running with him together. Suddenly a familiar scent hits me, ridiculously sweet. I stop, but Ethan keeps on running.
He stops after a second and runs back to me. He gets a hold on my shoulders.
"What's wrong?" He asks me. And I want to tell him to run, to get out of here and be safe. But before I can say anything. A big vampire jumps on his back and we fall. Ethan falls on top of me, the air escaping my lungs.
He is trying to fight of the vampire, but he can't do it alone. I need to shift, but before I can even shift another vampire jumps from the bushes. A female vampire, beautiful as a rose. She jumps me and tries to sink her fangs into me.
CHASE! WILL! I scream in my mind, but they don't reply.
