"Trinity, mom wants you to come down and see Carlisle," my brother Damian said from the other side of the door.
"I'll be right there D," I said still staring out my window. I heard him move down the hall probably to get Arianna.
I sighed and went over to my vanity getting my necklace. I stroked the pendant while looking into the mirror. I wonder what Carlisle would think of me now?
"Everything alright little one?" I heard Isis's voice in my head. I looked over at my black puma and smiled.
"Don't worry Isis, I'm fine," I told her. She looked at me skeptically.
"Are you sure?" I nodded and she let it go. Deciding I should go before mom got mad, I got up and headed to the door. I looked back at Isis who was just lying there.
"Are you coming?" I asked. She shook her head.
"No, I think I'll visit Carlisle later." I nodded and headed down stairs slowly. My hands glided over the smooth mahogany railing as I climbed down the red-carpeted steps. When I reached the last step I saw my brother's human girlfriend Katrina standing by the doorway leading to our living room.
I cleared my throat and her head snapped up to me eyes wide. I raised an eyebrow at her even though I already knew why she was here.
She opened her mouth, "Is-"
"I'll get my brother," I said before brushing past her without another word.
Walking down the hall towards my father's office I could hear the laughter of my brother and my sister's screams.
I rolled my eyes once I reached the open door watched Damian twirl Arianna around. I leaned against the doorway waiting until they finished.
"I'll tell Katrina you're gay!" My sister yelled and Damian came to an abrupt stop. "You wouldn't dare." He said glaring at her. Arianna turned her head to look at him. "Try me." My brother's eyes widened and he dropped her to the ground."Oof," my sister glared up at him, "a little warning would have been nice." Damian opened his mouth to retort but I coughed interrupting him.
"Your pet is here," I said.
"She's not my pet," Damian growled walking over to me.
"Whatever, point is she's in the hallway and I'm getting hungry so you better get her out of here," I said crossing my arm. My brother growled at me as he walked out. I smirked and started to follow him out when my father's voice stopped me.
"Trinity."
I slowly turned around waiting for another lecture from my father.
"Yes father?"
"Come here," he demanded. I sighed and walked slowly towards him.
"You wouldn't really leave without saying hi to your uncle would you?" He asked. I smirked in relief and turned to face my uncle.
"Hello Uncle Carlisle," I said. He smiled at me and pulled me into a hug.
"Hello Trinity," he said pulling back. I smiled then looked at the rest of the vampires. Surprisingly there were only six other vampires, one hybrid and a shapeshifter.
I looked at one of the blondes in the group. He was beautiful to say the least. Not looking more than twenty, he was tall but lean-lion like almost. He also had honey blonde hair that fell into his topaz eyes. But surprisingly, his eyes portrayed the signs of a deep sadness. He looked hurt broken almost. It made my insides clench. Looking closely with my enhanced eye sight, I could see that his body was crissed-crossed with crescent shape scars.
"A veteran of the vampire wars," I thought.
Meeting his eyes I smiled at him and he smiled back. A smile that sent a shiver through my body.
"Hello," I said smiling. They all said hello and the older brunette- Esme, I think her name was- came up to hug me. When Esme pulled back my brother cam in holding hands with his despicable girlfriend. Katrina's blonde hair was loose down her back and her violet eyes scanned nervously around the room.
I stiffened and hissed when I saw them. My brother glared at me.
"Katrina this is my uncle Carlisle and his family. Carlisle this is my girlfriend Katrina," my brother said. The love in his voice made me want to puke.
"Hello Katrina," Uncle Carlisle said smiling at her.
I rolled my eyes as Katrina blushed. "Hello."Arianna came up and hugged her. "Hey Kat," she said happily.
"Hey Ari," she said with a smile. Deciding not to be too rude, I walked up slowly to her with a smirk. "Hello Katrina."
"Um, hi Trinity," she said timidly. I smirked inwardly at he nervousness.
Sniffing the air I could smell her rose scented blood making my mouth water.
"You smell good. New perfume?" Any vampire could here the double meaning in my voice but poor naive Katrina couldn't.
Katrina looked confused. "I'm not wearing perfume," she said slowly. I grinned at her and shrugged.
"We're going out, come on Trina" my brother said stiffly, then lead Katrina out. I glared at their backs then tossed my hair over my shoulder.
"If you need me, I'll be in my room," I said stiffly before walking out not even waiting for an answer.
Back in my room I paced angrily thinking about my brother's girlfriend.
Stupid girl. Stupid human. Out of all the girls in the world he had to pick her. A human! Especially one that was related to them. I growled, picking up a book and threw it at the wall. It hit with a loud Smack! and slid down tot he floor with a thud.
Isis jerked up to her feet in surprise of the noise. I ignored her, to angry to apologize and sat angrily at my vanity.
Why? Why her!?
I could hear Isis's soft foot steps as she walked towards me. She placed her on my lap and a paw on my arm.
"Little vampire?"
"Stupid Katrina," I muttered.
Isis laughed deep and throaty. "Is that what this is about again.? Oh little one, everything will work out do not worry. Your brother will be fine and as for the girl, just give her a chance. You might actually like her."
I snorted. As if that will ever happen.
Isis smiled and took her paw off my arm. I moved my hand to rest on her head and softly stroked her silky fur. She purred in contentment.
"How is Carlisle and his family?"
I shrugged. "My uncle is the same. His family seems nice. Haven't really talked to them."
"But?"
I sighed. "There was one, I didn't catch his name. He had scars all across his arms... from the new-born wars."
"And?"
I paused not sure how to continue. "His eyes Isis. There was such sadness in them. They looked so broken, so lifeless. It was horrible."
"Maybe he's suffered a great loss."
"Maybe." I whispered looking at myself in my mirror.
"Is that what I look like?" I whispered.
Isis sighed. "Sometimes." I stayed silent, not offended just thinking. I felt Isis take her head off my lap and my hand fell off her head.
"I'm going to go greet Carlisle. Come down later little one. That way you will know this man's name, alright?"
I nodded smiling slightly. "Yeah, yeah I definitely will."
