I was hesitant to take his hand, thinking that he didn't know about my power. But he knew Carlisle and Esme, and they must of talked about me and my ability. So I hesitantly reached out my hand for him to take, but he merely smiled at me. He had the smile a parent would have when they knew a child's secret, but showed no anger. He took my hand in his and I instantly saw some of the energy draining form his face. I fought hard for my power to not even touch him, but I knew he could feel a bit of it. Eleazar shook my hand gently and I pulled it away, thinking that I harmed him.
"Power Mimicry, and how powerful it is." Eleazar said aloud to me, his velvet accent was making the situation less threatening and more soothing, in the same way that Carlisle or Esme would diffuse a situation at our home. I smiled at him, already feeling safe in his home and his family. He then looked at Sam who was near Emmett and Edward. I looked behind him as well, seeing Sam look at me with silent permission if he was alright to see. I smiled at him, holding out my hand for him to take. He smiled lightly at me and walked over, grabbing my hand and holding it tight.
"This is my fiance, Sam Chang." I introduced Sam to him, seeing Sam smile at him, being a gentleman that he is. The shook hands as they smiled at each other.
"I am very happy to have finally met you both. And I am sure that both Edward and Emmett are glad to have another male around the house." Eleazar said in a joking tone, and I heard Emmett chuckle behind me.
"We have another male as well, but he does not want to intrude since he's new to our vegetarian lifestyle. He and his wife are looking after our home." Esme explained to Eleazar as I heard distant voices from the back of the house. They were female, three of them, and I could inhale their scent within a second as they entered the house. I looked over to the direction of the voices and scents, seeing three young females walking over to us. All three of them were quite beautiful, wearing beautiful dresses and smiling at each other, laughing as well as if they came back from a shopping trip into the city. One of them had straight blond hair, her rare beauty had a hint of seriousness in it, she must be Kate. The one who was a bit shorter with strawberry blond hair and wide smile had to be Tanya, from what Rosalie told me. And the third, all was left was Irina. She had a sweet smile to her face, and the three of them saw us.
"Hello! I'm sorry we're late, Kate needed a hunting session." Irina explained in her sweet tone of voice as Tanya nearly skipped over to Edward. I watched her giggled as Edward almost awkwardly hugged her, making me smile from the action.
"Girls this is Emma and Sam, they're new members of the Cullen Clan." Carmen said aloud from next to Esme, a big grin on her face. Kate, the serious one, walked over to me and smiled at me. Even her smile was serious, but I could tell she meant well.
"We've heard a good deal about you, It's a pleasure to meet you." Kate explained to me, her voice was deeper than a usual female tone of voice but still powerful and femine.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, you must be Kate." I said to her in a suggestive tone. She smiled and nodded her head.
"Edward told us about you two, and I was wondering when we could meet you!" Tanya said aloud from her spot next to Edward, smiling at me with a big grin. Edward rolled his eyes and shrugged lightly at me, trying to seem comfortable.
"Now that the whole family is here, why don't we relax."Carmen said aloud, both Esme and Carmen already going to sit down on a small couch. Carlisle and Eleazar went to the chairs as the rest of us were left with each other. Somehow I saw all of us forming a small circle and facing each other, thinking of this as a normal thing to do.
"So, Edward tells me that you've traveled?" Kate asked Sam aloud from next to me. I looked over at Sam and saw him smile at her.
"Yes, I've been to Asia, almost all of North America, most of Europe and some of South America. When my maker was alive, he liked to travel." Sam explained to the group and they all nodded their heads.
"I've always wanted to go to Asia, what's it like?" Tanya asked with eager eyes and a wide grin, almost like she was a child and hearing something wonderful for the first time. Irina rolled her eyes as I heard Rosalie chuckle from her spot, Emmett grinning.
"Very unusual, but wonderful. I especially love the food there." Sam explained to her, seeing her nod her head vigorously.
"I do apologize for Tanya's behavior, she's a bit eccentric." Kate explained to the both of us aloud in a grin, making it seem liked she had to explain to us about her sister being so curious and almost having a naive sense of wonder.
"It's fine, I quite like it actually." Sam replied in almost a laugh, "Outside the Cullens you are the first vampire family that hasn't hated me."
"Who would hate you?" I asked in a playful tone, sneaking a kiss on his cheek and feeling him wrap a arm around me.
"Well we are very happy to have met you, and to know that carlisle and Esme has taken very good care of you." Kate explained to us with her sweet smile. She then looked over at me directly and her smile never left her face.
"May I talk to you in private, if you please?" she asked me aloud, having me be startled for one second but then knowing that she was good, that she wouldn't hate me or hurt me. I walked away from the group, joining Kate outside on their porch in the back of house. THe air was chilled but not too much as Kate and I stood together out to se all of the wildlife around us. It was beautiful, not as beautiful as Washington but none the less breath taking.
"I wish to discuss with you about an important matter...involving your maker." Kate explained to me, having me look at her with some shock in my face and confusion. She was still, not showing any emotion but only softness in her face as she looked at me. She knew my maker? How did she know?
"Carlisle told me that you lost your maker to two nomads." Kate explained to me, having me nod at her to show that she was true.
"I wanted to talk to you in private, since this conversation doesn't involve anyone else but you." Kate explained to me, "I wished I could of told you earlier when it recently happened. But I'll tell you now since I know you can handle it."
As soon as she said that, I knew she was going to say something serious about Wendy. Did she know about her and what happened, truthfully. I did want to know from another point of view about Wendy and her death, or something of her.
"Years ago, we had a young vampire, a female, running into our territory. Our family stopped her in thinking that she was a threat, but she was in fact a vegetarian. She was running away from a group of Nomads, but was trying to find someone with your name. Her name was Wendy." I closed my eyes when she mentioned her name to me. It was still somewhat hard to hear her name and not feel any pain.
"She was trying to get rid of the Nomads from going in your direction." That made it even worse. She was trying to save me, trying to get them away from me by sacrificing herself. She was never a selfish person, Wendy thought of others before herself. But this, this was too much for me to hear.
"I understand if this is too much for you to hear, since she was very close to you." Kate explained to me in a much softer tone, trying to make it seem calm and more collective. I nodded my head, trying not to show how upset I was feeling on the inside.
"I only wish to tell you what happened, because you're a part of this as much as she was." She said to me, looking at me directly and a chill going through the area. She knew that I was upset, I could tell in her stance next to me and how she looked at me. It was like she was a mother waiting for her daughter to speak of the new heart-aching news that she discovered.
"Thank you for telling me this, I needed to hear it." I explained to her aloud, seeing her nod her head only once at me. I looked at her then, seeing the rare beauty she was and smiling lightly at her.
"Do you still miss her?" She asked me in curiosity. I thought about it for a mere moment or two, thinking of how much I missed her. But it wasn't pain that I felt when I thought of her, only love and a bit of warmth. The pain was gone then, I moved on from the pain and felt more positive energy from her than negative.
"Everyday, but it's not as painful as before." I explained to her, looking behind the two of us back into the house and seeing the others talking to each other. Emmett and Rosalie were talking with Sam and Tanya as Irina went to talk to Eleazar and Carmen. Sam was laughing about something Tanya said aloud, a big smile on his face and that view itself, that one smile that he had on his face, that made me realize that he took away all of the pain that I had, all of the shadiness and all of the confusion in my vampire like.
"He brings you happiness." Kate said to me in more of a statement. I smiled from that thought, nodding my head and looked back at her. She had a small smile on her face, seeing how happy I was myself.
"More than anyone else." I explained to her aloud as she looked over at Sam. I did as well, seeing him look over at me with a genuine loving smile, the kind of smile that he would only show me when we were alone in a room, or apart like this situation.
"I only see that kind of the love you two posses on a rare occasion between vampires, it's rare, but powerful indeed." Kate explained to me aloud. I could tell she was telling the truth from the tone of her voice, it was sincere and kind.
"Well, on a lighter note, let us hunt. We have a good herd of bears up near the mountains." Kate said to her in a light tone, making me thirsty from the thought of consuming bear. It was appetizing, the thought of drinking bear blood which was hardier and thicker then deer or elk. The others came out as well, Tanya giggling as Emmett and Rosalie talking to each other in low tones and Irina talking to Sam. Sam walked over to me, leaving Irina behind and taking my hand gently in his.
"You ready for a hunting session?" he asked me in a small grin and I nodded my head. I needed a good hunting session and something to get my mind off the recent news.
I loved running through the forest, especially when I jump onto trees and climb. Climbing was my favorite to be honest, being able to speed up in a fast rate. And I was with other vampires, new friends who were just as fast as me. Tanya would giggle as she jumped from rock to rock, more like boulder to boulder. Kate was more serious, her eyes on the target and following through. Irina was more graceful, like Alice, a ballerina as a vampire in the sense as she floated through the forest with ease. I was too occupied with jumping from tree to tree with I stopped in the middle of forest, deep in the forest and clung onto a tree, sniffing the air and then noticing that something was wrong, very wrong. The air didn't smell right, something or someone was close
Very close
I stayed very still against the tree, resting my feet on the thick branch and looking around to see what or who it is that is confusing me. But I saw nothing for a minute or two. I must of been over-thinking things, and I might of been stressed from the story of Wendy.
But I knew something was out there
