Remembering You
I looked around the room with satisfaction. It was a deep purple now, with curtains that made the room glow even more so in the daytime. I had a bed, even though I didn't sleep. I wanted it mainly to read. I had books lining my room. I had gone to the biggest bookstore near here and bought up a bunch. They had just arrived, and I was stacking them on my many shelves that I had installed.
"Dracula? Seriously?" I turned to see Emmett holding up a green book with gold embroidery.
"Shut up, it's good." I took it from his hands and put it back in the box. I hadn't gotten to the books starting with D.
"Need any help?"
"Actually I was just going to go for a hunt." I said turning to him. I was wearing a pair of jeans and a tank top, my hair tied back in a ponytail. Emmett wore a pair of jeans and a tight black t-shirt. I hid how much I wanted to tell him that he looked good. I walked past him, hearing him inhail. We went downstairs at a casual human speed to tell the rest we were off.
"Please, I just want to talk to her. We're...old friends." came a voice from the front door. A voice, that sent chills up my spine. Jasper turned to look at us, opening the door a little to show me who was at the door.
"What are you doing here?" I said through my snarls. He smirked as he saw me.
"Why dear Elizabeth, that's no way to talk to your maker."
"Your WHAT!?" Emmett shouted. I ran with all my speed intil I was right infront of him.
"I want you to leave. I told you to stay away from my family."
"But honey! I am! Bella is at school is she not?" I felt all my rage boil over and I lunged at him. He simply moved with one twitch and I went crashing to the ground. He appeared over me and grabbed hair, pulling harshly. But before he could do anything, Emmett pushed him off of me with such force, a huge cloud of dirt erupted, causing a crater like hole.
"You don't ever touch her." Emmet snarled. He stood infront of me as I still layed on the ground. Kevin shook himself off and stepped out and then looked back and forth at us. A grin appeared across his face.
"Oh this is wonderful! Looks like Emmett isn't dead! Oh, the blonde one was right." I felt everyone's breath cut short.
"Forgive me, Rosalie was right. She is quite lovely. Lots of sadness and anger though."
"What have you done to Rosalie!?" Emmett shouted in anger. Kevin looked at him in curiousity.
"Did you not throw her out? She told me the whole story, quite reluctant to. I found her wandering on her own. The dispair of her was seaping to me...it was beautiful. When she mentioned little Eliza...I just couldn't resist." He ran at me before Emmett could react and pulled me by my throat, shoving Emmett into the house, causing wood to go flying everywhere. Edward went at him, but before he could reach him, Kevin dug his fingers into my neck, causing deep gashes. I screamed with terror, knowing well what would happen if he kept squeezing.
In a blink, Edward, Emmett, and Alice held onto his arms, pulling him away. Jasper grabbed his head. His whole body came tearing apart infront of me. I fell to the ground, landing on my back. I took in deep breaths, despite I didn't need to breath, it was difficult to. This must have been the sensation of being strangled. I reached up to my neck, and felt the cuts go deeper and deeper into my neck. I let out a whimper, causing Emmett's gaze to quickly look to me, dropping whatever part he had ripped from Kevin. He was over me, only concern for me touching his face.
"Eliza..." he breathed. He touched my neck delicately. I could feel the wounds already starting to close, but it would leave faint scars. He moved his fingertips over the cuts, causing a different sensation to run through me. I stared into Emmett's eyes, he stared back. He let out a short breath, causing my stomach to turn in a beautiful way. I felt my gaze look from his eyes, to his lips, and back.
"Emmett! Get Elizabeth out of here, she needs nourishment."someone said. Emmett didn't take his gaze off of me. He lifted me into his arms, although this was completely unecessary. I could walk perfectly, but I said nothing. We then went running into the woods.
JASPER'S POV
I wrinkled my nose a little as I stared at the severed arm in my hands, the head in my wife's. It wasn't the body that caused me to feel slightly awkward, it was the intense feelings I was getting a little way aways. I looked over at Edward, he looked at me with discomfort. He could read the emotions of them through my head...not to mention theirs.
"Emmett..." He called. He didn't do anything. Edward rolled his eyes. I had an urge to throw the limb at Emmett's head, which caused Edward to laugh.
"Emmett! Get Elizabeth out of here, she needs nourishment." Some subconsious part of him must have heard, for he picked her up and they were gone. I shuddered to myself as I ripped the limb in two, throwing it in a pile.
"This is going to get anoying."
"We all know Emmett, we know what's going to happen if those two get serious." Edward muttered. Yeah, more broken houses to explain. Edward let out a laugh as he looked at me.
"Would you two stop! THey're in love! They've been seperated for years!"
"Wow Alice, looks like you've already approved of her, and Rosalie's barely been gone." Alice shuffled akwardly and threw another piece of the vampire in the pile.
ELIZABETH'S POV
I seperated my mouth from the large animal, wiping my bloody mouth with the back of my hand. I licked my lips as I stared down at the bear.
"That was strangely sexy." I looked up to see Emmett smirking. I laughed and looked down at my hands. Our laughs seemed to subside as we looked at the bear once again. The image of Emmett's scarred face flashed through my mind and I recoiled, my hands curling into fists. My face covered with pain.
"Elizabeth..." Emmett said concerned, touching my shoulder.
"You're lucky." I murmured.
"Lucky about what?"
"You don't remember." I looked up in his eyes, anger almost touched his face.
"It may be a little fuzzy Elizabeth, but I remember. I just wish...we didn't..." He sighed in frustration. "I just can't believe I've been wandering this world while you've been good and alive." I gave an akward half smile at him. We looked at each other in silence for a while, not really caring about the world around us. We barely noticed how we got closer and closer.
"Emmett...I..." I lost my train of thought, keeping my gaze on his eyes. We moved ever so slowly. I brought my hands up. They slowly went up his chest, around his neck, and I latched my hands into his hair. He brought a hand up and traced it through my hair until he let it fall on my neck. He traced the healing cuts again. I let out a deep relaxed sigh and I felt Emmett tense. Next thing I knew, his lips were crushed against mine. His arms wrapping around me, his hands pulling me to him as tight as he could. I felt my whole self give into him, I'd missed this more than I thought. My foggy human memories the only thing I played off of remembering his lips. They were beautiful and perfect, putting my memory to shame. They curved around mine perfectly, and were warm. I clutched his neck and the top of his shoulder blades. He pulled from me only for a moment to say my name, and then he was kissing me again.
"I've missed this." I muttered somewhere. He responded with a deep moan. After what seemed like forever in our binding kiss, we let go. We were both breathing so deep, it echoed through the forest. As our breathing slowed, he licked his lips, and then kissed me again. Quickly and cute for a moment. We sat there, our forheads pressed together, smiling and laughing every now and then.
We walked back to the house slowly, stopping and looking at each other every now and then, giving quick pecks, sometimes not so quick. I felt myself float with how full but light I felt. I was with Emmett again. After all these years. The smell of sweet insense filled our noses as we got closer. In the middle of the front yard was an ashen pile, a little bit of smoke it eminating, giving off the smell. We walked past it, pushing the memory of earlier out of our minds.
