Chapter 13

Four years later….

Annalise's POV

"Come on Embry! Can I see?" I ask impenitent. He has been working on this car for months and he says it's finished just that at the last minute he shy's away. During that duration we've gotten closer than ever. He takes me to Sam's house to eat, go to more bonfire's, to the store. All the better that Nessie and Jake tag along. I love spending time with all of them. He knows every secret; well, the only thing he doesn't know is the nightmares. I've learn to live with them. To cope with them.

He scratches the back of his head. "Maybe it's not ready," that's Embry for you.

"Yes it is," Jacob says sitting next to Nessie who is giggling. Nessie has really grown beautiful. Her bronze curls hanging beautifully at the back, her eyes are bigger and deep brown, her figure it's turning more curvaceous. She is almost at her maturity year and Alice and I are planning a huge party. She will join the 'grown ups' now. I smile as I look her blush when Jacob wraps an arm around her. I notice that every time she looks at Jake she looks at him different. She doesn't want to tell me anything but I know she has a crush on him.

Embry glares at Jake. I pout knowing it works every time. He rolls his eyes. "Fine!" he begins pulling back the cover on the car and I gasp. "Is it that bad?" he worries when he shouldn't.

It is beautiful. It's an amazing red mustang. The paint looks flawless. I remember this car. The owner gave it away because it was so baldly ruined he would just buy a new one. You couldn't see that it was a car of how crushed it was. Embry took it in and started working on it, I know he was tired of asking Jacob if he can barrow his car. The color is different, it used to be white. Blood red is one of my favorites; pun intended. I run my fingers over the smooth finish.

I grin at Embry. "It's beautiful!" I exclaim. "I'd pay thousands for this car," and I would. It looks carefully detailed, it is more or less handmade, and the smooth coloring makes it look elegant. I love the smell of leather mixed with his woodsy and musky smell. Hell, I'd pay millions

"See bro, told you she'll like it," Jacob smirks.

"You really do?" Embry asks with a gleam in his eyes.

I roll my eyes now. "Yes. What makes you think I wouldn't?"

He shrugs. "Your family always has elegant cars around,"

"And this would be among them. That's how elegant your car looks like," I hug him and he hugs back.

"Are we still watching the movie?" Nessie asks standing near us.

"I dunno, are we?" I look up at Embry and Jacob.

"See what movie?" Jake asks.

"Betrayed by the heart!" Nessie and I squeal loudly. This is the new hottest go-to-see movie. It talks about a demon falling for a human girl. Nessie and I read all the series and I'm in love with Zac. He is the Demon; he is very mysterious and… I just have to see it.

Jacob groans. "Chick flick?"

"The ultimate," Embry sighs. He knows about the story. I talk to him about it every time a finish a book; and there's ten.

"Did you hear the writer is going to publish a new one called Solemn Heart?!" Nessie gushes.

My eyes pop out. "What?!" I jump up and down with Nessie as Jacob and Embry groan.

I stop and look at Embry with my sad puppy eyes. "You don't want to go?"

He's taken aback by my sudden mood. "Where?" he asks urgently to lift my mood again.

"To the movies to see Betrayed by the heart,"

His eyes widen. "Yes, I'm going with you. Don't be sad," works every time.

"Yay!"

We make arrangements. The movie premieres until the night we have time to change into something different. The guys roll their eyes saying we don't have to change; we just ignore them. They're guys they don't understand. We want to look nice yet casual. They'll pick us up from my cottage at seven. Enough time to actually take my time in finding what to wear.

I know Ness is going to look rocking; hopefully she helps me look the same. Nessie now looks like a fifteen about to turn sixteen year old. I look like a thirteen year old, no longer chubby; that's good. We've notice that the older we got the faster we ran, the theory Grandpa made was that when we reach maturity than we'd run fast as a Vampire and get stronger. Maybe not as strong but strong.

She makes it there before me, obviously. Momma and Daddy are hunting this weekend therefore the house is lonely. They take this hunting trips that sometimes last days. We run our separate ways. Nessie has her own room with a closet filled with clothes just for her here. They built it in for when Aunt Bella and Uncle Edward would disappear, like my parents now, Ness would stay here. Just now both of our parents decided on the same weekend so we stay in the main house.

I begin flipping through the clothes. This is what happens when you have a lot of it; you can't find what to put on. I take a hold of a knitted sweater; gray, the same color of my eyes. While my eyes have a hint of topaz, the same color of my family's eyes; when I hunt my eyes look gray-topaz. I just think it's cool.

I hear my door creek open, Nessie's done already? I should tell her to help me.

I take the sweater with the hanger. "Nessie should I-" my breath catches in my throat. A lump forms so I can't speak.

A tall man in a very expensive gray suit and an elegant coat on has Nessie in a choke hold. "Hello," That voice! His lips curl in a chilling smile. His eyes the color red; he eats humans. "Wow, look at how you've grown," his voice smooth making the little hairs stand up. A wave of fear passing over me.

"W-who are you?" I ask finding my voice. It was small full of uncertainty. Inside I knew who he was, after all I've heard his voice at the very beginning and in all of my dreams but I didn't want to accept it. I kept looking between his stone hard face to Nessie's petrified look.

His eyes become a dark red. "Who am I?" He sounds angry. Vicious. He runs his pale fingers over his brown hair that was comb a second ago. He chuckles darkly, making Nessie trash around in his hold; she's trying to free herself. "Your father!" he growls.

"M-my f-fath-" the air inside picked up. Like I we were standing outside with the winds of 60mph.

"Yes your father, Richard," I begin seeing dots in my vision, my breathing uneven. Nessie claws at his hand. Richard!

"Please let her go," I plead. "If you want me, fine. But let her go," my voice becoming strong.

He looks at Nessie who looks frighten. He gets near her face and smells her "The other half-breed." My eyes widen further as his repulsive tongue licks her neck. He can't hurt her! I take small step forward. I feel helpless as I watch Nessie eyes of fear look at him. His mouth close to her ear. "You're lucky I have no use for you," his voice husky, smooth, low.

"Richard my parents will find you! My whole family will," I need to save Nessie; both of us. He chuckles but says nothing. The anger I'm feeling produced a cage of lightning bolts around myself. If only I could do that around Nessie to take her away from that creep. He is smiling ear to ear seeing what I could do. He looks back at Nessie and laughs like he enjoys seeing the scare look in her eyes. "Stop!" I hate seeing Nessie like this. He plants a kiss on her cheek. The air almost like a hurricane inside.

"Will you come willingly?" he asks, a creepy gleam in his eyes. He isn't startled by the wind I'm creating; it seems like he doesn't even notice.

"No, Annie-" I see Richard tighten his hold to stop Nessie form talking more.

I tremble in my spot. "Yes," voice shaky. The cage disappears. I look down, surrendering. He flings Nessie farther away from us. "Nessie!" I scream in horror as her body slumps on the floor. I try to reach her but unfamiliar cold arms circle my waist and snatches me away from the house.

"Anna!" I hear Nessie scream after me.

"Nessie!" I cry as I pound my fists on his chest; he doesn't even flinch. Someone needs to hear me. "Embry! Momma! Daddy!" he covers my mouth to prevent me scream some more.

I hear a howl in the distance and my heart leaps. Embry! As Richard flings me over his shoulder I see a russet-brown, a gray-ish black, and a black wolf run towards us in full speed. I don't know how but I manage to move his hand. "Embry! Jacob! Sam! Help!" I cry frighten. I reach for them.

The wind has picked up as if we're in the middle of a tornado. Rain now pouring. Falling leaves all around us. Chaos. As I cry for Embry it begins to snow as well. The snowflakes melt on my stretched out hand. He is right there. So close.

"Embry, please run faster!" I plead. I can see my fear in his chocolate eyes.

Embry growls violently. From the corner of my eyes I see another unfamiliar Vampire; Richard is not alone. I turn to look at him. This Vampire is slim yet muscular, has dark brown hair. He runs next to Richard and that's when I see the wolves running in another direction. No longer running towards me. What's going on?

"Embry!" I cry as if I was in pain.

"Shut up before I kill your precious Renesmee," he threatens making me shiver at the idea. Please! Anybody! I scream inside.

He continue running, a few branches scrapping my face as he passes by them. He then stops abruptly. "Hold your breath," he warns.

I begin feeling water at my feet. I look down and we begin submerging. Why is anyone helping me get away? I look back at the trees wanting a wolf to come out from behind them… but nothing does. Tears start falling at the realization that no one is here to protect me. I'm not strong enough to fight him off.

I keep protesting but he covers my mouth and submerges completely. Richard comes out for my sake, but after a couple of minutes he submerges again.

….

"Get changed or you're going to get sick," Richard flings a bag at me. We had reached shore a good… I don't know; but far away from my home. Richard and the other unknown Vampire walk miles until we reached a motel.

"I can't get sick!" I hiss.

I feel his cold hand press my cheek with force. I begin feeling dizzy. I clutch it as I realize he hit me. "Don't you ever raise your voice at me! I am your father!" his voice venomous. I tremble and look at the stained carpet scared. I miss everybody. I begin crying uncontrollably. "Shut up-" he sneers. I can already feel the next blow.

"-Aren't you going to check in with Heaven?" The other Vampire distracts Richard. If i wasn't mistaken the other vampire sounded angry.

There is silence for a couple of seconds. I'm too frighten to look up. "Yes, I suppose. You stay here and make sure she doesn't move. Unless it is to change," he walks incredibly close to me, hovering. He yanks my hair at the top, upward. "And you better behave," his sweet scented breath makes me shake in fear. He flings me to the mattress without even touching me and in a flash he is gone. He has powers like mine?

The unknown Vampire runs towards me. "Are you ok?" his voice smooth, gentle.

. "Why would you care?" I say between tears. He helped Richard kidnap me; he is as bad as Richard. I look at him confused waiting for an answer. That's when I notice his eyes are a deep blue with a hint of red. "A-are you a-a half-vampire, t-too?" I wipe some tears and sit down properly to take a good look at him.

He smiles kindly. "Yes," he takes my hand; which I didn't have an urge to snatch away. It was a welcomed touch. "I'm actually your brother,"

I stare at him wide eye. "What? My brother?!"

He chuckles, like bells. Reminds me of my family. "Yes, Richard is my father too." he says grimly.

I squint my eyes. "You don't like him? Why would you help him?"

He sighs. "When someone puts a threat on you, you tend to act a certain way. After spending a century with him you realize you don't care. Then I hear I have a baby sister who he was planning to kidnap; I needed to stay to make sure you are ok. He found out from his mate that I was planning to escape and he threatened to kill you if I did."

"You don't know me. Why would you want to protect me?"

He looks at me like I asked a stupid question. "You are my sister. The only one I will ever consider as family." I smile. At least in the mist of all this ugliness something bright comes out. "Now I think it's wise to keep Father happy. You should change." he suggest.

"I don't want to," my voice seems small again. He surprises me by hugging me, I return it crying softly.

"Please, I don't want him to hurt you," His voice brakes.

I sigh and nod taking a hold of the bag. I walk into the crappy bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. A bruise is forming were he hit me, I look tired, my hair is a wet mess. I scare even myself. I begin changing into the simple jeans and over size hoodie. I place my hair into a simple pony. I tuck the rebel hairs behind my ears as I walk out. He is sitting on the chair smiling at me. I notice that he's changed too, he wears some dark jeans and a blue dress shirt that matches his eyes.

"Why do I look like a druggie and you look nice?"

I chuckles. "I usually charm my way into stuff, I have to look my part." He stays serious now.

"Can I ask you something?" he nods cautiously. "Why when we were running the wolves ran the other way?

It looks like he wants to ask something but answers my question instead. "You can control the weather. My powers are to repel. I can make them walk the other way if I wanted to, but it doesn't work for Richard and he would take the anger off on you if I tried again," he sadly says.

My brows crease. "Our powers are completely different. Is like that for all the siblings?"

"No…" he hesitates in continuing. "We're just different. While I was inside the womb of my mother Richard would inject some stuff to make me powerful. I was his experiment. It was what he called me for years,"

"That was my nickname too," I chuckle darkly.

He grimaces. "He succeeded with me. My original power was to create fog that would confuse you; make you not know where you were going. But the stuff that he injected in me, even later on out of the womb, made me stronger. I can repel even states away." He frowns angrily. "He made it so I couldn't use on him but for him." He looks at me. "We've been watching you for years now. Trying to see when it would be the perfect time. We saw what you can do. And when you mature your powers will evolve like any other Half-Vampire,"

"Half-Vampire's powers evolve?"

"Yes, while full Vampires have more strength, speed, and can't be harmed easily like we can; we have our powers. For what we lack on strength we gain in power." He then sighs. "But none of that matters. We are his prisoners. But I'd be dammed if I let him harm you again." He looks remorse. I can tell he's looking at my bruise.

I clear my throat. Trying to change the topic. "Now that I know you're my brother can I know your name?" I sit next to him. He smells sweet with a hint of honey and pie.

"Axel Jai O'Connell," he shakes my hand and I giggle.

"Well Axel, I'm Annalise Sara Cullen. People call me Anna or Annie," His face falls. He even looks like he is grieving but for me. "What?" I ask worried.

"You know Father is going to change your name?" his eyes sad.

"Oh… I figured that much." I shrug. Then the pang of devastation and sadness hits me. Will I have anything left from my Momma and family?

"Sorry,"

I look at him confused. My eyebrows creasing at the middle. "For what?"

"Taking you away from your family," He truly does look sorry.

I take his hand. "It's not your fault. But in some part I'm glad it happened because I met you," he hugs me and I return it. We stay like that a good ten minutes. "What did you mean by 'check in on Heaven'?" I ask once we let go.

He leans back on his chair. "Meaning his mate, wife whatever you want to call her. Her name is Heaven Andrea O'Connell,"

"And she says hello," the chilling voice says. We both turn towards the door to see Richard walking back in closing the door behind him. I clutch onto Axel to dear life. "I see you two were talking." he slumps on the bed his dark red eyes look at me in amusement. "What? Why do you look scared?" He laughs. Axel holds me closer in a steal grip as Richard stands coming closer to us. "Come," He yanks on my arm.

"Don't touch her!" I'm startled by the force in Axel's voice. I can tell it startled Richard too.

"Or what? Don't make me laugh boy!" he growls. "I created you two. I gave you life and I can easily take it away," I look at Axel and signal him to not say anything else. I can have him get hurt because of me. He flings me against the mattress again with a storm wind. He does have powers like mine. He slips behind me. My breathing uneven again. "Sleep." He commands in his chilling voice. "Or I can hit you so hard you'll have no other choice," he whispers low I could barely register his words. But I did and makes my heart beat fast, almost as if it was finding a way to escape my chest. He chuckles darkly hearing my suffering and kisses my cheek. Revulsion fills me.

…

"Wake up!" I jolt awake making Richard laugh. Why does he have to be so cruel?

My heart pounding on my chest. I notice he is running in full speed. I look at my side and see Axel running next to him with a sympathetic look. "Where are we going?" I demand.

"Home," his voice icy.

"Forks?" I ask hopeful. But I was foolish to ask.

This made Richard really laugh. "Of course not." he slumps me over his shoulder as if I was a bag of potatoes. Something worthless.

As the chilly wind kept passing through I wonder what my family is doing right now. Are they looking for me wasting their time because with my brother they're never going to find us? Are they sad? Yes, but I don't want them to be. Embry… I wonder how he's doing. I miss him terribly that it actually hurts.

"We're home," Richard declares.

I look around his head and see a gorgeous house. It is secluded and looks like it belongs to an all American family. The ocean nearby in a hypnotizing blue that makes my eyes wide. It actually is beautiful. I bet Nessie would love it. But I keep forgetting she's not here… none of them are. My eyes pool at the taught.

A model thin beautiful women with bleach blonde hair and pale skin comes down the stairs with elegancy. Her blood red eyes fixed on me. She smiles. Richard smiles sweetly at her; that's the first. She must be Heaven.

"You brought me a girl!" She stands elegantly with her clothes that look like they come from a boutique. That makes me sadder remembering my Momma.

"Yes, didn't I promise?" please let this be over….

I sit, empty inside, on the plush bed my new 'mother' gave me. She's been wanting to have a girl and when Richard found out I was Mary's daughter he kidnapped me for Heaven. But they didn't do it right away. They were waiting for the perfect time.

Axel had walked to the other side of the house were Heaven told me his room was. She showed me around my room, which is bigger than my room in the cottage. She is very educated and sophisticated her powers are to hunt, track you down. As soon as she has a whiff of you then she'll be able to hunt you anywhere in the world. I become emptier receiving this knowledge. If I escape she'll find me and then my family can be in danger. I couldn't let that happen. They had strong connections in Italy. I didn't want to test them.

"Your father and I have our room at the very end of this house. If you need anything please tell me. Goodnight angel," she closes the door in a soft click. She's nice but knowing she knew that Richard would kidnap me from my family that makes her go into my mean book.

As soon as I know she's far I curl up in a ball and cry. I cry my heart out. I hear the door open in a light creek. "Are you ok?" I hear the familiar voice of worry.

"Will I ever see my family?" I cry harder and Axel warps his arms around me.

"This is your family. You are going to have to accept that. I don't want father to hurt you,"

"But I miss them," instead of answering he just rocks me side to side. Why me? At least I hope Nessie, Grandma, and Momma are ok; they're the fragile souls from the house. They're going to have to accept I'm gone and for good.
