Chapter 7
"Oh yes, Aro dear, Please come in. "Gwen said in a mystical voice. She was defiantly trying to hard to convince everyone that she was a psychic. Anyway, we walked through the beaded curtain and we were greeted by a room that was draped in brightly colored fabric. The room looked like my parents room back home but only a whole lot tackier. My parents room was draped in gold fabric because my father claimed it made the room have good acoustics, and I a feeling that this room was not draped in fabric for that reason. Gwen was draped in brightly colored fabric as well and a piece of fabric was also wrapped around her head. She also had a massive amount of bead hanging around her neck.
"Gwen these are three of the members of the Cullen coven in America, Bella, Edward, and their daughter Beth. We have come to you to see if you could possibly peek into Beth's future abd see that will happen to her and her "condition" that I told you about previously."
"Sure Aro, my darling, I would be happy to see into dear Elizabeth's future." Ugh her too. Is Aro and Chace the only ones who call me Beth around here. Gwen soon continued "Elizabeth, darling, please come and have a seat." She gestured to a chair. I glance quickly at my parents, who both gave me an encouraging smile and then I walked over to the chair and sat down as I was instructed.
Gwen sat down in the chair next to me and grabbed my forearm and then there was silence. Suddenly, Gwen gasped and spoke in a far off voice.
"On your flight back home you will develop a headache. The headache indicates that you need to feed. Your parents will then take you hunting once the plane lands. Every time you get a headache, you must go hunting. On your seventeenth birthday, the minute you turn seventeen, which is at 12:05 a.m., you will permanently become a full vampire for the rest of eternity. However, you will continue to sleep, eat, and grow just like any other human until your seventeenth birthday."
So this was my fate. Live the next ten years as "the Halfling" and then at 12:05 on the day of my seventeenth birthday I would permanently phase. This was great, heavy on the sarcasm. At least I wouldn't have to go though the painful three day transformation like I would if I would if I was bitten, and I wouldn't have to beg and plead with Edward to change me. Maybe this wasn't as bad as it sounded.
My father was somewhat relieved. However, he blamed himself for what was happening to me. I got up from the chair and walked over to Edward and gave him a big hug and thought,
"Daddy, don't blame yourself for what is happening to me. Now that I think about it, this is so awesome. I love you, Daddy. Never ever forget that." He just smiled down at me. Then he spoke to Aro.
"Thank you Aro, for helping us find out what id happening to Beth. We are extremely grateful. However, we do have a flight to catch at 5:30. so we really must be going." Yes, we were finally getting out of this dreaded place.
"Ah, Yes, Well, you all best be on your way but first, I must know, Bella, what is your power?" Aro asked.
"Oh! My power? I can sense when people who are close to me, relationship wise, are hurt, physically and emotionally." My mother replied
Ah! My mother's power. How very useful, especially with me and my inherited balance problems. I remember one time, when I was five, my parents were hunting with Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Alice, and I was home alone with Carlisle and Esme, I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. My parents must have been hunting near by because about five minutes later, my mother ran in to the house asking what happened to me. However, Carlisle had already examined my arm and was putting a bright purple cast on it. Ah, My mother's power in action.
Aro pulled me out of my trance.
"What a very interesting gift, and useful. Well, I see we have kept you long enough. It's good to see you all and please send our regards to dear Carlisle." My father nodded and said that he would. We were about to leave when I suddenly directed my thoughts to Edward.
"Daddy, that Chace guy was really nice to me can I tell him 'thank you'?"
"Sure, Love, you most certainly can."
I walked over to Chace and gave him a hug and whispered
"Thank you, Chace, for being a friend in this scary place."
"You're welcome, Beth." Chace replied somewhat shocked. Then we left and I wondered if I would ever see Chace again.
Just as Gwen predicted, I developed a headache on the flight back home. Once we landed in New Hampshire, where we were currently living, my parents took me hunting, and of course, I had to phase for that.
Once we got home, we informed everyone about the situation and they all seemed okay with it. The only person who was upset was Emmett and he was only upset because he wasn't able to take me on my first hunting trip like he had Alice, Jasper, and Bella. However with my mother Edward was along for the trip, keeping a close eye on Bella.
Once I had been home for about two hours I remembered about La Push and Jacob and his son, Jason, who was my age.
Jacob is a werewolf from the Quileute pack in Washington. Jacob was my mother's best friend when my mother lived in Forks, Washington. Jacob Got angry with Bella when Bella chose to become a vampire and marry Edward because Jacob love Bella as well. Anyway about a month before my parents wedding, Jacob imprinted on a girl from the Makah tribe, named Wendy. Jacob and Wendy got married and Wendy had a child, named Jason in July only two months after I was born in May. Jacob forgave my mother and even convinced Sam, the leader of the pack, not to start a war with my family after Bella was changed. Of course because of the treaty, Bella was no longer allowed on the reservation but I was because I was only human. Sam has stopped phasing when I was about three, so Jacob became the new leader of the pack. Jason and I became really good friends, best friends in fact. Every summer, I would spend at least a week in La Push with Jacob and Jason. Now, I was worried that I wouldn't be allowed in La Push anymore because I was now half-vampire. I ran to my mother and asked in a worried tone-
"Mommy, will I still be allowed in La Push to see Jake and Jace and the rest of the pack?"
"I'm not sure Beth but I will call Jake right now and find out for you because I know hoe much you enjoy going to La Push and besides Jake loves having you there too."
With that Bella called Jacob and explained the situation. Jacob said that since I was still part human that I would still be allowed on the reservation. I didn't find out until later that the real reason was that what I am was born inside of me, just like a werewolf. I was not change like a normal vampire nor will I ever have to be bitten to become a vampire. Anyway I was so happy that I was still allowed on the reservation.
I asked my parents to take me to my other best friend, Lillie's house. Lillie and I had been best friends since we were four. Lillie and her mother (her parents were divorced and Lillie hardly ever saw her father.) are the only humans in on our family's secret.
When I was four, my family was living in Maine and Lillie's mother, Catherine, was working as Carlisle's secretary. Lillie and I became friends and I begged my parents to let me tell Lillie our secret. They reluctantly agreed and Carlisle even told Ms. Catherine. They both accepted the fact that we were vampires and Lillie even thought it was cool. Anyway, ever since then I told Lillie everything and Lillie and her mother moved with us every time we moved, so they were now living in New Hampshire with us. Ms. Catherine was still Carlisle's secretary.
I felt the need to tell Lillie about my current "condition". So my parents took me to her house and I told her what was going on. She thought my little problem was the coolest thing in the history of the world. She really was my best friend.
Sorry the last bit was kind of boring but I had to get those intros out of the way
