Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight Saga, it's belong to Stephenie Meyer and her great mind for creating such a wonderful piece like Twilight Saga (Although, I wish I can own Edward and Alec ...TT^TT). Also, I don't own the cover pic which I use for this story's cover. The one who had made that wonderful cover is LanWu. I merely downloaded it from her. So, if you want to see the real size, just visit her at lanwu .deviantart .com (just erase the space). The art was titled Guilty. It was and still is one of my favorites from all her piece of art (^w^)

-The Unexpected Changes-
-Sera-
In all of my life, I never once dreamt of something like this. My life had been pretty sheltered from the beginning. After all, being blind always made people think that you have to depend on them for the rest of your life even though it doesn't have to be like that. For as long as I could remember, the darkness and the empty void behind my eyes were the only things I could see. There is no light or other things in my life. In short, my world had been painted black from the start. And even though it was quite difficult for me to cope with it, as time passes by, I eventually managed to get used to with my disability to see.
I can't say the same for my parents though. My parents have put some high expectations on me after all even before I was born to this world, so it wasn't so hard to know that they were quite devastated when they found out about my disability. Or like what they always insisted on calling, my difference. It's not like they don't love me for who I am, it just it was difficult for them to do so when they have pretty much hoped for a perfect daughter. That's why, when they found out about my disability, they started to treat me as if I'm a delicate thing which will break if you even put a slight pressure on it.
I understand their reason on treating me with utmost care but sometimes their love and constant care made me unable to breath. It was stifling. So, I started to wish that they could at least give me a bit of freedom, to let me have a space of my own without their constant need to pamper me. Though knowing them, it's going to be a long time before they finally realized that even though I'm blind; that doesn't mean I'm incapable on doing things on my own. I sighed heavily at the thought of being pampered and fussed for the rest of my lives.
I could feel the intense gaze my mother had been giving me for a while now as I stared blankly at the passing scenery out of our plane window with disinterest. After all, being blind made you unable to see anything except for darkness. So it doesn't change much even though my eyes were directed at the outside of our plane window. I have been shifting in my seat for some times now, trying in vain to get into a more comfortable sitting position. I sighed for the umpteenth time when I failed to do so. Giving up on it, I brought my elbow up to place it on the arm rest that lied on each side of my seat. I cradled my chin on my open palm.
Eventually, my mother felt agitated with the constant shuffling I made beside her and decided that it was the time to put stop of such behaviors. "Is there something wrong, dear?" A weary voice of my mother intervened my silent sulking.
"Hm?" I hummed nonchalantly, still feel agitated at my whole situation.
"You have been doing that for half hours now. Are you feel uncomfortable with your seat? Should we change?" She pointed out, clearly exasperated with how I was acting.
"No. We don't need to change seat, mom. I just... how long exactly until we finally arrive at there?" I sighed lightly, a hint of exasperation coated my voice as I told her my need to be on the ground immediately. Flying never had been one of my thing after all. Besides, when you're blind and unable to see anything on your own; being in a solid ground will be the only thing that will calm you down. So, it was pretty understandable if I dislike flying. After all, who knows when this plane decided to fall suddenly from the air and kill all of the passengers in the process? So yeah, she never enjoy to fly especially with her condition.
"I know you're anxious to arrive at there, dear but you have to be patient. It won't be long before we finally arrived though. So please bear with it for some moments again, okay?" My mother said reassuringly in that soft voice of hers which she always uses whenever she tries to soothe my agitation.
Knowing that it was futile to retort to that statement, I decided to stay silent and continued my sulking regardless the fact that it would probably annoyed my mother. It's not like I want to go with her in the first place anyway. It was because she insisted we have to move and live with my father in other country despite her knowledge of how much I dislike flying. Oh well, there's no use on crying over it though. After all, it's not like they will let me to live by myself anyway; what's with me being blind and things like that.
Besides, my father had said that there's a possibility for me to regain my vision in this new country if they found the right donor. And that was one of the things that had made me agreed to go with my mother to this new strange country despite the fact I had pretty much their former living place. No words were spoken after that. Silence reigned around the two women for a few moments, only the sound of others passengers around them filled the quiet they were in.
When they finally arrived at the airport, there's nothing I'd love to do than get out immediately from that vehicle. There's no way I will spend even a minute longer in there if I could avoid it. My mother merely called out after me to not get too far away from her as her eyes once again rested on my figure. Her constant fussing over me made me feel as if I'm a five years old children sometimes which is quite annoying in my opinion. Especially when I know I can take care of myself just fine without her constant fussing. Oh, the joy of being blind...
But putting those kinds of things aside, I was quite curious as to what kind of country this new country will be. My father's new job required him to live in Volterra, a town in Tuscany, Italy. He had been living there for two months now and eventually decided to live in here as well, thus resulted on my mother and me took a plane towards Italy to live together with my father. Although, for now I guess I just have to feel content to hear my mother's description about the cities and its surroundings. Even though our sudden move towards this country was unexpected and agitate me a bit, I have to admit that I'm pretty excited to discover what kind of country Italy will be. From what I have heard, Italy is a beautiful place; something which I really wished I could see with my own eyes.
'I hope we really will find the right donor in here this time... Besides, who knows what this sudden change will bring?'
At that time, I was completely oblivious towards everything that will soon happen towards me. If only I knew of it, maybe I won't feel as excited as how I did at that time.
Authoress' Notes: So, what do you think of the edited version of this story so far? Do you enjoy it? I admit I don't have any planned plot when I first written this story, I only have an idea within my head of how I want it to be but unable to develop more plot from that simple idea. Hence, the reason why it took me so long to write this story again. Anyway, the thing is I still don't know what I'm going to do with this story since I still in the process of thinking how I want this story's plot to be. So, feel free to give me your opinion if you have one.
There are some things that I'm sure of though. Like the relationship between my OC, Alec and Seth. I pretty much have the idea of how I want to write it, still the final pairing will be decided by the readers. So from now on, please think which pairing you want it to be. Do you want my OC to end up with Alec? Or with Seth? Just tell me which pairing you want through your review, I will make sure to read each one of it. Aside from that, I can't promise you to update this story regularly since I'm pretty busy already with my life so I will try to update it when I have time or when I suddenly get hit by a wonderful idea. That's why if you want to read the continuation of this story of mine, please be really patient for it. I still have a lot of stories which I have to update after all.
Lastly, I'm still new on writing Twilight Saga story, so do forgive me if somehow I end up making the characters OOC (I really tried my best not to make them OOC though). I've tried my best on writing down this stuff but I'm sorry if somehow there are still some grammar errors and tenses errors. I'm still trying to improve my writing skill. The next chapter we are going to Alec's POV but it will probably take some times before I managed to finish it because like what I said before, I'm going to be very busy this year. So yeah, please be patient for it. Please give me your review so I know what do you really think about this story. Thank you for reading this story of mine~
