Chapter 3: The vampire are coming!
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING CAUSE IF I DID I WOULD BE RICH!
The pain erupted through my skin, pummeling my bones with the non-existent force. My whole body spasmed, jolts of fire twitching at my limbs I cried out in agony, wishing for those dumb murders to finish me. Vaguely aware of shuffling feet, I writhed trying to escape the oncoming waves of torture. The worst kind of pain is not the one grows worse or slowly trickles, it's the one that never changes, that never ends. I screamed for mercy, trying to get someone to stop it. The fire licked at my veins, but my skin turned colder and my pulse seemed to stop. It was the only thing that told me I was alive. Why am I still thinking? Am I dead?
The pain started to slowly ebb away, allowing me to move a little. Finally, after what seemed decades, the pin stopped, leaving through my fingertips. The shuffling feet seemed to pause, before edging closer. My eyes fluttered open, light flooding my vision. I could see every speck of dust around the room, every fibre in the carpet and every tiny piece of splinters in the wooden door. My eyes drew away focusing on nine dazzling faces. I instantly backed away, my body going rigid, letting a feral snarl pass my lips. A blond haired man who looked about thirty-five, put his hands up cautiously.
"Now now, calm down we won't hurt you." His voice was calm and reassuring.
"What did you do to me?" I demanded.
"Before I answer that, I'm Carlisle and this is my family. What's your name." He asked. I'm not one to let my tricks slip easily... I smirked at him, relaxing my stance.
"How bout you tell me what you did and then I'll tell you my name." I said. He smiled warmly, probably happy I wasn't screaming rape.
"Ok fine. I know you might not believe me but, I turned you into a vampire. Before you argue, pull in the facts. Can you see exceptionally well?" Carlisle asked. I nodded cautiously. " Can you smell everything around you?" I took an experimental sniff, taking in so many scent's it made my nose tingle. I nodded again. He smiled and grabbed a polystyrene cup from the carved desk in the room, handing it to me. "Now, try this." My hand gently took the cup, eyes narrowing at the seemingly innocent object. I took a sip of the strange thick liquid, swallowing it without hesitation. It tasted AMAZING! The sensation of all my favourite things dancing on my tongue in a flamboyant tango. My face lit up considerably, literally hugging the cup to my chest.
"What is that? It's amazing!" I said in awe. Some of them laughed quietly, the sound like bells. They's were all in perfect harmony.
"Blood." Said a woman who looked around the same age as Carlisle. I looked down in horror at the cup, uncapping it and seeing the weird red liquid.
"No! That's not possible. Vampires defy every rule of logic, how the- and I'm a-? No not-" I was cut of by my hand flying out and spilling the blood in the air. I caught the blood in the cup again with remarkable speed and agility. Usually I can't even walk down the stairs without falling. Ok maybe vampires do exist!
"I believe you! Please take the cup away from me!" I said frantically, thrusting my hand out. The bronze haired one took it away, chuckling. So that means my parent's... "That means, the people who killed my parents were vampires... But how did you even know that they were there?" I asked. The brunette lady who had saved me, spoke.
"Vampires aren't the only mythical creature, are you familiar the Reservation boys?" she asked. I nodded.
"The tall jerks that look like they're on steroids, yeah." I said, earning a few chuckles.
" Yes well they're werewolves or shape-shifters. They're not like stereotypical werewolves, they turn into wolves and they do not rely on the moon. We're friends with them. They protect Forks from non vegetarian vampires and they alerted us of your parent's killers. We tracked their scent to your house, when we heard screaming. That's when we found you, half dead and about to be eaten." She explained. WEREWOLVES! What the #!*% !
"Jacob get up here!"The bronze haired man yelled. Within seconds a tall teenager came into the room, staring at me cautiously.
"Yes?" He asked. He seemed wary of me, I don't know why. The dude is at least two heads taller than me and super buff, seriously he could knock me out with one blow!
"I think our new family member needs to meet you." A small slight girl with bronze ringlets said. He turned to me, crossing his arms like he was a boss. Oh please!
"My name is Jacob Black, I'm a leader of the Quilete packs. That means little leech, if you step out of line we have permission to rip you apart." He snarled. I glared at him, standing up.
"Look loose the attitude dude, I don't fricking care who you are and I especially won't let you mess with me. So pack it in and put it away if you know what's good for you." I said darkly. Carlisle's family seemed impressed and smug at my little outburst. Jacob looked taken a back and seemed to humble up a little. The small teenage girl, skipped out slinging her arm around my shoulders.
"Jacob you deserved that for being a #!*% , sorry sweetie." She giggled, making Jacob sour. " You are going to make a perfect Cullen." She said to me. I giggled at her happy expression, liking her personality. She was really pretty like most of her family, but she seemed more angelic and purer.
"Thank you ummmm...?" I said, struggling for her name.
"Renesmee but you can call me Nessie." She said proudly. That name really suites her, she seems unique and she is definetly beautiful. I smiled warmly at her, I have a feeling we'll be good friends.
"That is an awesome name, really unique." I complimented. She rolled her eyes.
"More like really weird." She said. I shook my head defiantly.
" It's weird in a good way." I said. She giggled at me and turned to her family.
"Well come introduce yourselves guys!" She exclaimed. They laughed heartily and a small pixie like girl stepped forward.
"I'm Alice, I know we're going to be very close." She chirped, reminding me of my Mom.
" How do you know that?" I questioned. What can she see the future? The idea is laughable!
"I can see the future." She said. Ok maybe she can see the future...
"WOAH. How do you do that?" I asked, amazed. She laughed at my excited state, delving into an explanation.
" Apart from the normal super speed and super strenght, some vampires have extra powers. We call them gifts." She explained how gifts worked and the Edward( bronzed haired one), Bella( the brunette), Jasper and Rensemee had gifts. Edward can read minds, Bella is a mental shield, Jasper can control emotions and Nessie can channel her thoughts through one touch. Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle and Esme didn't have gifts but they had enhanced traits. Emmett is very strong, Rosalie is extremly beautiful, Carlisle very compassionate and Esme's has a strong ability to love.
"It must be cool to have a power..." I said wistfully. Suddenly all of them burst out laughing, confusing the heck out of me. " What's so funny?" Jasper was the first to calm down and explain.
"Chloe where's the cup?" He asked. I looked down at my hand, to find the cup was missing. Instead it was hovering a few feet away, at least a metre of the ground. Wow! WOW!
"Telekenis a very rare gift." Carlisle complimented. " Try moving it uh-" Oh gosh I hadn't told him my name!
"Chloe Sanjav." I said, still in awe. I thought for the cup to move forwards and place itself on the desk, and it did! "Oh. My. Gaga." I looked around at the smiling faces and looking around the room. I saw a mirror lying on the opposite wall to me, catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I gasped.
My usually chocolate skin was slightly ashened, my lips were perfectly pink and my shoulder lenght hair was shiny and curled loosly to my head. I looked flawless, I looked angelic almost. But my eyes, they scared me. They were like his, ruby red. The boy in my dream was a vampire.
"Chloe where have you seen that boy before?" Edward asked. I gulped, a lump forming in my throat.
"I've been dreaming of him for at least six months. He's real isn't he." I said, half knowing the answer. He nodded gravely, turning to Carlisle.
"She's been dreaming of Alec Volturi, what does that mean?" He asked. Carlisle's face too grew grave, worrying me slightly.
"Chloe what has Alec done in these dreams?" Carlise asked.
"Chased and successfully captured me." I said. If possible Carlisle face grew even graver.
"I'm afraid she is his mate, it is unlikely for humans to have the same pattern in dreams for this long. They must pre regarded mates like Alice and Jasper. Alice's visions of Jasper were her first memories and therefore Alice had been driven to pursue him. It's a theory I have worked on for quite some time, Chloe has been having dreams where Alec is possesive. I know Alec, once he gets what he want's he won't let go." He explained. I started to panic slightly, as if being turned into a vampire wasn't bad enough.
"Who is Alec Volturi!?" I nearly yelled. Rosalie strode forward, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Sweetie calm down. It'll be fine, just sit down and I'll explain. The Volturi is a coven of vampires who rule our world, they're like royalty. They enforce the one law we live by, never expose ourselves to humans. Aro, Caius and Marcus are the three kinds so to say and they have an elite guard. Felix, Demetri, Alec and Jane, Alec's twin sister. Jane and Alec are considered the most powerful of our kind, Jane can cause mental pain and Alec can cut off the senses. They are very dangerous and cruel, so let's hope you never meet them." Rosalie said. I nodded in agreement.
"Look now everyone, Chloe needs time to adjust stop bombarding her with information." Esme said. A sudden eruption of burning pain hit my throat, making me clutch it. My eyes swivelled to Renesmee, smelling something sweet off her. I shook my head and was about to question when Nessie cut me off.
"I a hybrid, I half human half vampire. My mom Bella gave birth to me when she was human. Yes I have blood and yes I need blood too." She said. I nodded, chuckling slightly at her aggitated tone. she must have to explain that a lot. I wonder what being vegetarian mean to them?
"It means we drink animal blood, it's more humane." Edward said, reading my thoughts. I smiled, happy I won't be like the monsters who killed my family.
"Speaking of blood, I think the new Cullens needs her first hunting trip." Emmett boomed, causing me to laugh. I'll miss my parents, but the Cullens seem nice enough. Actually they're pretty cool. Oh and they're vegetarian. Wink Wink!
