Chapter two (: I'm really excited for this story it's gonna have sooooooo much drama lol
Enjoy (:
Since I hadn't gone shopping yet not only was my kitchen and living room bare but also my closet. I had nothing decent to wear. But that also begs the question what do you wear when you're going to have dinner with vampires? I had no idea because, well, I had never been invited to dinner with vampires before. I had never met any vampires that were civilized enough to even have a conversation with someone like me. Even though my blood repelled them it's not like my people and vampires got along. They were created to kill and my people were created to, well create. Was I really going to walk into a house full of vampires calmly? Would I be able to turn my back on them? Would I be able to eat the food that they give me? I debated over this until it was time for me to get going. I still hadn't found anything to wear so I just decided to wear what I had on, I mean it's not like I was trying to impress them anyway. So I kept my knee length pink, floral sundress on and just applied a minimal amount of makeup, minimal, meaning black eyeliner and mascara. I thought about wearing lip gloss but then remembered that I would be eating and that would just cause the food crumbs to stick to my lips which, by the way, is not cute. When I looked at the clock again it was five forty five, well I wouldn't want to be late now would I? I took one last look in the mirror and admired what I saw, I was really pretty. I had a heart shaped face which, thanks to Proactive, was clear of blemishes. I was a C cup leading down to my synched waist and then out to my full hips, legs that weren't too long or too short and then small feet. I smiled and then turned away from the mirror to walk out the front door into the evening breeze. Since I didn't have a car I was going to have to walk to the vampire house which was fine with me, I felt better in the outdoors anyway but I didn't want to seem like a hermit lady. I kept walking until I heard the sound of a river and then speeded up my pace. When I got to the river I encountered I problem that I hadn't thought of before, how was I going to get across it? For vampires it was easy, I'm sure they could just jump across, but I was human, sort of, I didn't have super speed or strength. And I couldn't very well show up to dinner looking like I just swam through a dirty river, that would be a very bad first impression. I thought for a moment, then I saw an overhanging branch on a tree and it gave me and idea. Very carefully I climbed up the trunk of the tree and crab walked out as far as I could onto the branch without it breaking. I was still very far from the other side that's where my power came in. I put both hands on the branch and concentrated, after a few moments it started to move. I smiled to myself and opened my eyes to see that the branch had grown far enough for me to jump to the other side without problem. I brought my left leg over to the same side as my right and dropped down until I was hanging onto the branch like a monkey bar then I dropped down lightly onto the balls of my feet. I flipped my hair back and inspected my dress, not dirty in the least. Satisfied with myself I continued to walked deeper into the forest until it got thinner and thinner and then finally broke into a clearing. In the middle was the biggest and most beautiful house that I had ever seen. It looked like something you would see in an old movie but it had definitely been modernized. I walked up the porch steps and proceeded to knock on the door but before I could it swung open to reveal Esme, the maternal vampire. She smiled and hugged me, I was surprised at her touch but instinctively hugged her back. When she pulled away from me she still had a smile plastered on her face and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Welcome to our home," she waved me inside and I entered not worried in the least about turning my back on her. The inside of the house was just as beautiful, if not more, than the outside. There was a huge circular staircase on the far side of the room and all of the back walls were replaced with glass. There was an ivory piano on a platform in the back of the room, I fell in love with it immediately. All of the furniture was exactly the same shade of white and in the middle of the room were nine other vampires all of them were wearing similar smiles of welcome, except for two. One was a breathtakingly and painfully beautiful blonde who was glaring at me like I had killed her mate and the other was a modelesque boy with messy bronze colored hair, however unlike the blonde who was still glaring at me he just looked at me with a confused face. As if there was something about me that he just couldn't figure out, maybe he was wondering how I'm human but my blood doesn't call to him. I wasn't really sure but I didn't let their stares deter me from being polite to the rest of the family that I would soon be introduced to. Finally the only other vampire I knew, Carlisle, stepped forward.
"Azalea, thank you so much for coming, I'd like you to meet the rest of my family." He came to my side and started on the right with a short pixie looking vampire that looked like she was so excited she couldn't stay still. "This is Alice," she came forward and hugged me like we had been best friends since birth, I hugged her back but I was extremely confused.
"It's nice to meet you. I can see that we're going to be great friends." What was that supposed to mean? This chick doesn't even know me, but I smiled at her anyway.
"It's nice to meet you too." He continued to introduce his family one at a time and they each came up and greeted me in their own way except of course for the blonde and the bronze haired boy who I found out were Rosalie and Edward. Besides those two I liked the rest of Carlisle's family a lot, Alice, the pixie girl, was with Jasper. Then there was the big guy, Emmet, who was Rosalie's mate, go figure. Then Edward, the bronze haired boy, and his mate Bella who was a little quiet but I could tell that's just how she was and she wasn't just being standoff-ish. Lastly I met Kat, whose real name is Kataryzanya but no one can ever say it right, who was half human and Raven. I could tell they stuck together a lot, I was also told that Edward and Bella had a daughter, who was half human and half vampire, named Renesmee but she wasn't there yet. They assured me she'd be home later, not that I minded her absence. Once I had gotten acquainted with everyone I asked the question that I been dying to ask ever since I walked through the door and saw it.
"Do you mind if I use your piano, just for a second before we, I mean I have dinner?" Everyone, especially Rosalie and Edward, looked shocked that I had asked except for Esme who was just smiling harder than I had ever seen anyone do. She's the one that answered.
"No, no of course not, please." She practically pushed me over to it. I ran my hands along the top then around to the keys and finally settled onto the bench. I hadn't noticed that everyone, even Rosalie and Edward had gathered around the piano to hear me play, it didn't make me nervous in the slightest. I had done this all the time back home. I took a deep breath and placed my hands delicately across the keys and when I played the first chord of Regina Spektor's "Samson" everything fell away and I was back home. In the plaza playing for my people in the Magnolia festival, everyone was there, my mother and father, my brother, my best friends…..and Ian. And when I started to sing, slow and strong, she was there. Green eyes and all, Dahlia, was in his arms, smiling and clapping for me. She loved me so much. As I continued to sing, Ian smiled and yelled my name, told me how wonderful I was. He was so beautiful and perfect, but not real, because when the song started to come to an end he stopped smiling and yelling and started to disappear. And with him, Dahlia's beautiful shape began to fade as well until they were both gone. The image of my family and friends remained until the last line of the song and then I was back in the Cullen house, at their piano singing and crying. "
"You are my sweetest downfall, I loved you first." I played the last notes and then ended the song but didn't remove my hands from the keys. I waited until I saw a tear fall onto a key and then gently wiped at my eyes. I looked up at the people that had gathered around the piano to listen to me and was surprised at their expressions. Rosalie, no longer glaring at me, was staring at me as if she wanted to cry. The rest of them just looked thoughtful and a little impressed. I didn't really know how to break the silence so I just ran my hands along the keys again trying hard to hold onto the image of him. But the harder I tried the more it slipped away until I could no longer remember the shape of his face, the color of his eyes or the light in his smile. Even her image was gone from my mind and I felt more tears well up in my eyes. It took every ounce of my strength not to break down right then and there. Then someone spoke, a voice that I didn't recognize, it was Rosalie.
"That was beautiful," she smiled at me and I tried to imitate it the best I could.
"Thank you," I took a deep breath and reluctantly stood up from my heaven at the piano and pushed those memories that remained to the back of my mind for another time. "So what's for dinner?"
