4. Accidents
"Blood's thicker than water, and when one's in trouble, best to seek out a relative's open arms."
Cecilia Elizabeth Cullen was the name my parents gave me when I was born. I am nearly sixteen. My parents are young, well, my mother is. She was nearly thirty-five. My dad, on the other hand, is going to celebrate his one hundredth and twenty-third birthday in June. However, he doesn't look a day over twenty. They are both trapped inside their seventeen and nineteen year old bodies. They also are immortal, notably strong, exceptionally fast, vegetarian vampires. One day, I will be one of them.
My mom found out that she was pregnant shortly after her and Dad were married. She wasn't a vampire at the time. This was strange and utterly supernatural. Vampires cannot produce. But, however, I came to be. Once I was born, Mother didn't know if she could ever be turned. She was afraid that she would harm me, knowing that my blood would catch her attention. Newly turned vampires have a hard time dealing with their thirst for blood. Esme offered to take care of me until Mother could control herself. She took me to Alaska and stayed with family friends. We didn't stay there long at all. Only for about a week, actually. Like some other members of my family, my Mom had a gift. She did not crave human blood and could fully control herself.
The Volturi have no idea about my existence...
My family is my life. I love every single one of them. Alice is my very best friend, Emmett is like my big brother, Jasper is my easy-to-talk-to relative, Carlisle is my mentor, Esme is like a second mother to me, and Rosalie is...well...Rosalie.
Sometimes it's not easy living with vampires. When I was about five I started to bleed, all of the members of my family were present when this was happening. I don't remember how I started bleeding, though. I saw Jasper's eyes meeting mine, they grew dark and precarious. He smelled my blood as it's aroma flowed into the atomosphere. Jasper pounced from the other side of the room to me, his teeth bared. I stifled a scream, I had never seen him do that before. Emmett and Father knocked Jasper into a wall, pinning him to it. Mom took me into her stone arms, shushing me. Father and Emmett, with the help of Carlisle and Rosalie, struggled to get him out of the house. Jasper was thrashing madly in their strong grasps.
"Let go of me!" he roared, wildly, as he was being pulled away. "So delicious! Just one small, tiny sip! Just one!" I screamed even louder when he said that.
"This is your neice, Jasper! Your neice!"
Jasper hissed viciously as if he were a cobra. I heard Father and Emmett hiss back.
"Jasper, Jasper," Alice said, running over to the front door, opening it. He growled at her fiercely. "Come back to me," Alice added in a small, weak voice. She looked as if tears could escape from her eyes if it were possible. Vampires were not able to cry.
Accidents like this happen rarely to me now. I sometimes have nightmares where I'm with Jasper, alone. Things at first would always be fairly pleasant. In the dreams, we would be out in the sun, his skin sparkling as the sun shinned down upon him. Then, well, some part of my body begins to bleed, and...I don't want to talk about the rest. Whenever I have dreams like this, I wake up in the middle of the night and I scream and break down, literally. Somone, usually Esme, Alice, or Mom, will come in to check on me. They bring Jasper so that he can calm me. I freak out even more when he comes in. By now, he knows that the nightmares are about him. I can tell. It's heartbreaking, I feel horrible for being deathly afraid of him. But, yet, I love him. Jasper is the nicest guy that I know. Well, that is when he's not trying to kill me. Alice is a lucky girl. She has someone to love her for eternity...
And as for me...well...I'm waiting for my Prince Charming to come into my life...
We were welcomed back to Forks, Washington, this year, even though the treaty is broken...the new leader of the Quileutes allowed us back...
God, I hate rainy weather.
