One of the first things I notice was Emmett's excitement towards Coach Trators, while Esme and Carlisle stood there unsure. Jasper, on the other hand looked at him in rather disgust as I came to sit down across the couch.
"Emmett, who is this?" Rosalie asked.
"Felix," Carlisle gave me a strange look.
"Was that what I was trying out for today?" I asked.
"Yes," Esme answered. "You didn't even know you were trying out."
"Well, I am sure he would be an asset to the team." The man smiled.
"That's obvious," Emmett smiled. "Rosalie do you know who this guy is?"
"Didn't you just lose your job at that one collage?" Rosalie asked.
"Yes," The man answered rather painfully. "This is the job I got afterwards."
"Do you need anything?" Emmett asked, I wanted to say we don't have anything for humans, but Emmett had complete control over this conversion. "Coffee, I will go and grinned up the beans myself, heck if you want I can run-down to Brazil and make it fresh."
"No, I'm perfectly fine now that Felix is here," Coach Trators said with a smile.
"I believe we already gave you an answer," Carlisle pointed out.
"Well, let Felix answer," the couch smiled.
"Whatever you want you can have," Emmett said happily.
"What I would like is to have Felix here on my football team," The man answered.
"You can have him," Emmett smiled as if he was about to jump through the roof.
"Excuse me," I started. "But I never even played…."
"I'll teach you, linebacker, I know that job it should be easy," Emmett said without thinking. I think he was excited to see him.
"Felix," Carlisle started. "Are you sure you are up to this?"
"I can handle a sport," I answered, if humans can do this, than I wouldn't have a problem.
"Good," The man said with a wide grin. "Practice starts after Easter, hope to see you there." He then shook my hand as he was walking out, I heard footsteps coming up followed by a tall man who was obviously a shape-shifter holding a football. I couldn't help but notice he was like Emmett and almost too nervous to talk.
"Who are you sir?" the man asked.
"Sam Uley, when I heard you were headed over here I dropped everything and came as fast as I can, I was at your NFL game, when you made that one touchdown."
"You were, were you." The man signed the ball. "Nice to meet you." He then left followed by Sam. I notice the Cullens stared at him in shocked as they watched Sam follow him to the car asking endless questions.
"Strange," Alice said. "He didn't even say hi to us."
"Alright," Carlisle started looking at me. "Felix, do you know how to play foot ball?"
"Sort of," I answered.
"Without killing any humans?" Esme asked. "Or making yourself noticeable."
"No," I answered as Emmett's eyes beamed towards me.
"You should of told him you would think about," Jasper sighed.
"I can teach him," Emmett beamed. "I can get him ready by Easter.
"Are you sure you can control yourself?" Esme asked as the phone rang, Carlisle went to answer it.
"Yes, I can control myself." I answered; it was getting me close to my new brothers.
"Esme," Carlisle came in. "Some woman named Dora is on the phone."
"I'll take it," Esme sighed. "I wonder why she's calling again." I was debating on telling her who she was talking too.
"Alright, before you go, I think Felix has some homework he needs to get done." Rosalie said giving me a stern look.
"Than you got practice," Emmett pointed out. "We want you to knock them down but not kill them."
"Who came by?" Esme asked sounding rather shock.
"Is that your new friend?" Carlisle asked, as Esme nodded.
"Did you figure out where she's from yet?" Carlisle asked.
"No idea," Esme answered as she put it on speaker. "Oh…that was just my husband."
"Put it on speaker," Carlisle suggested as Esme pressed speaker.
"Oh, I nagged mine into helping me do laundry the other day," I heard Anthenodora's voice.
"You did?" Esme said.
"Yeah, I was taking clothes out to dry, and I asked him if he wanted to help, of course he said no, than I said fine I have no problem doing it all by myself, even those I am making sure you and your children have clean clothes, I will do it all by myself without a thankyou. He gave in after that." I notice Esme started laughing.
"Ready?" Emmett asked, as I nodded.
"Homework first," Esme said strictly.
"Who was that?" Anthenodora asked, I could clearly hear her voice.
"That was my son," Esme answered.
"I have two of those," Anthenodora smiled.
"I know, and one of them is a tracker?" Esme asked.
"Yes, he was in a completion the other day with this tracker from France, Carrie" Anthenodora laugh. "She can see things in its present moment so while I was hiding something she saw were I was hiding it and beat him. She can only track things from a short distance those. Carrie says she gets headaches if someone moves around too much. She can't see werewolves or shape-shifters either. He can track them form long distance and is drawn to it."
"Alright," Esme sighed confused. "Didn't your husband say he would get mad if you called long distance?"
"He did, but not too mad he could never get mad at me the way he does other people." Anthenodora explained. I could tell Esme had no clue she was talking about Caius. "I told him I had to talk to someone about my problems now that my sister is gone, and he asked me if I really needed too, and my brother Marc told me I could just keep complaining to him. Now he insist I call my new friend more often."
"Oh, well I guess that's how you get things done," Esme smiled still unknowing who she was. "So how did the car work out?"
"It's doing fine now, we had to get some new parts now Heidi is trying to teach me how to drive, my husband is helping of course." I could tell Anthenodora was smiling as I went up and quickly did my math homework leaving it for Jasper to correct. I also read the first chapter of 'Catcher in the Rye' and checked my email. It had been a week since I checked my email, I only got one letter from Marcus. I decided to wait and read it later as I went down stairs.
"Homework," Jasper said.
"Aren't you coming?" I asked Jasper.
"No," He said again. "Are you sure you are up to this? You will be running into humans right and left?"
"I'll do fine," I insured him. "I've been doing fine so far."
"Yeah," Jasper said with a little regret. "You been doing very well for your two month diet. Considering we still don't know why you came?"
"Why do you care?" I asked him.
"Jasper, come on," Alice said trying to convince him. "This is a family thing."
"Yeah, we can get Edward, Bella, Rensesmee to come too," Carlisle was trying to convince him.
"What about Jacob?" I suggested as they all looked at me in awkwardness, I sort of assumed he was part of the coven even those he is not a vampire. It came across that way to an outsider.
"Yes," Rosalie said not sure what to say. "I guess we can get Jacob to come too."
"Fine, I'll go," Jasper still seemed to not like me for some reason. He didn't want me to go to school because he was worried. "I still don't think you can handle it."
"Well, I had doubts when I first came here but it's actually easier than I thought." I smiled not knowing what to say.
"I guess it is," Jasper said as Emmett came down with a football.
"Ready," Emmett smiled as we all went out to a field.
"Felix, your really becoming part of the family." Carlisle said with a smile as Esme remained on the phone.
"Are you coming too?" I asked.
"We have to make a phone call first," Carlisle answered as Esme smiled.
"I just text Edward, he is coming to meet us, I just told him to invite Jacob." Emmett explain to him.
"No," Carlisle answered. "I think now that its official you are staying here permit we should tell Tanya what is going on. Considering Easter is coming up and they normally visit."
"Alright, tell us how it is going." I smiled a little nervous about the other vampire's reaction. The only one I wasn't nervous about a negative reaction was because of Eleazar, we were actually pretty close when he was part of the guard. He was one of those people I looked up too, except he was too old to be my older brother, and too young to be like a father. He was just there to help me, I am sure he would be very happy that I am a vegetarian now.
"Tell them it is a lot easier than the Volturi make it out to be," I said happily. It was the first time I really felt part of this family. It truly was the first time the all accepted me as a member. Everyone was proud on how easy the vegetarian lifestyle was for me except for Jasper. Jasper seemed to still be distrustful of me, and I sometimes have notice him roll his eyes when I said this life is actually easer than it seems.
We went out onto the field, we were joined by Bella, Edward, Renesmee and later Jacob who also came out to help me. "Now," Emmett started. "What do you know about football?"
"Not much," I answered.
"Yet, you made the team?" Bella questioned.
"Linebacker," I answered rather excited as Emmett placed the ball down.
"And we have to make sure he doesn't hurt anybody," Jasper said as him and Edward came out with another football.
"Well I guess that's the perfect position for you," Edward said. "Ready to began."
"Yeah," I answered.
"Ready," Emmett started as Jacob came up next to him.
"Now," Jacob started. "Edward is going to take the ball to Jasper, we are going to try and stop him you are suppose to stop us from stopping him."
"But not kill you?" I asked.
"Correct," Emmett answered. "Think you can hand that."
"I can be in a room full of humans without killing them, I can handle this." I answered as Jasper rolled his eyes.
"You are also suppose to try and look human too," Edward reminded. "Control your strength."
"Control my strength," I answered. "That does sound a bit harder than it looks."
"Well, try." Edward started as he ran after them Emmett tried to block him down as I pushed him down hard to the grown causing a loud crash.
"That's what we need to work on," Jacob said as I helped Emmett up. We were practicing for about four hours when we when Alice stopped the game.
"Call Carlisle," Alice said quickly.
"Why?" Jasper asked.
"Someone is coming," Alice answered. "Nomads, but they are just curios."
"About what?" Rosalie asked.
"Renesmee," Alice answered. "They want to see her."
"Alright, I just called him." Edward said quickly.
"Should I turn?" Jacob asked.
"No, wait in till they see what we want." Alice answered. "They might not find her appealing at all."
They came through the woods, Carlisle and Esme arrived on time as their floral scent rose from the woods. We gathered around, I stayed close to Renesmee just in case someone attacked. I knew most normal vampires were peaceful but just in case, I was on the side of caution. They came like normal vampires do, it was sort of strange to see vampires approaching us without any sign of fear, these three were completely confidant. I saw two females, and one male walking up. The one female had straight red hair breaded in a prairie style manner. She seemed to be around nineteen, and the same size as her mate. He had long jet black hair, that went down to his waist. He had peircings in his ears, and a design on his shoulder that was most likely a tattoo that disappeared in his transformation. He couldn't of been a vampire that long, from the looks of him. Then another female, with long brown hair pulled in a bun that stood tall and confident like a fifties singer. I heard what they planned to do before, they will explain the lifestyle and ask to refrain from hunting, if they did not the wolves would get them. We were not to attack them, we will make friends and let them go on their way even vampires, tried to refrain from violence as much as possible.
The three of them came up to the woods, two of them were clearly together. They remained side by side staying closely to the young female, who had to be the leader
"Welcome," Carlisle started kindly as they smiled. "I am Carlisle Cullen, and this is my wife Esme, and to my right we have Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice. On my other side we have Bella, Edward, Felix, Jacob and between Felix and Jacob we have Renesmee who I assume you are here to see."
"Yes," The leader smiled. "I am Laura, this is my mate, Ryan, and Shelby who is traveling with us. We heard of a half-vampire child, we just didn't believe it till now. It was our curiosity that brought us here."
"She is rather adorable." Ryan committed showing his large muscles he to be twice the girl's size.
"We were passing and caught the scent in the forest, we couldn't help but wonder." Shelby committed. "Some of us did get curios into what is stronger."
"Shelby, we came to see her, nothing more." Laura started as I notice Shelby glare towards Rensemee in instant delight as Bella put up her shield.
"Perhaps the Voltari will reward me when I take care of the job for them," She smiled as she laughed about to attack Rensemee.
That was it for Shelby, Jasper was on his way over when she approached, Jacob didn't even have time to transform when I finished her. Edward must of read my mind, because as I started approaching Shelby and nodded towards me knowing my instinct was right about her plans.
"I'm sorry," I said quickly, waiting for them to make their move.
"We understand," Laura said with no emotion. "We weren't that attach to her, we ran into her on our way here and she followed us claiming to want to see the half-vampire child, we didn't know her purpose. You did your duty, before you start the fire may we touch her than continue on our way?" Edward nodded while Emmett, Rosalie and I took care of what was left with Shelby. Jasper just stood there and watched as Ryan and Laura touched Rensemee, and like most nomads left right afterwards.
The rest of the family seemed rather grateful, Jacob the most. I didn't see what the big deal was, Shelby was clearly a danger to one of the members so I took care of her like I always done.
When the fire was finished, Esme and I went back to the house and get ready for school. it was a normal day, everyone kept congratulating me for making the football team. Heather was there, which I was glad, because she didn't ask endless questions about what I had planned for fall.
Instead she talked Amber, who was having problems with Alan. I didn't know what it was till lunch. "He broke up with me," Amber explained.
"Why?" Seth asked, I could tell he truly cared less.
"Because I am no longer interested in the things he is," Amber explained. "He thinks my life should revolve around him, and it does."
"Why does he think not?" Heather asked.
"It's Mrs. Cullen's falt." Amber answered. "She gave me these broachers to some collage, and he saw them, he got mad and broke up with me."
"Did you explain this to Mrs. Cullen," I asked wondering if she knew Alan.
"Yes," Amber answered. "She told me I could do better if he feels that way, but I can't than she gave me I have the whole world I shouldn't be wasting time with a boy that doesn't want what's best for me."
"Oh," Heather said, I could tell she agreed with Esme. "Well, don't worry you'll make it through. He didn't treat you right, if you asked me."
"Well, it's the best I could do."Amber answered. "My life is ruin."
"No, it's not." I said surprised a human would say that, her life was far from ruined. "You are going to get older, go out make a difference and get credit for it."
"Whatever," Amber hissed. "I am just glad we have Easter off next week."
The rest of the day went on as normal, Heather and I were the first to turn in our papers on 'Catcher in the Rye' I agreed with her, Holden is a whiner. I did have a hard time understanding him and the glove. It belonged to his little brother that died, why did he feel so attach to it. Why does he feel responsible for his younger brother's death it was beyond his control.
When I got home, I was treated as a normal member of the family for the first time. Bella, Edward, and Jacob in particular went out of their way to do things for me, I wished I understood why. Rosalie even helped Rensemee make a homemade sign that said 'Welcome to The Family, We are So Glad You Came To Live Here' and a picture of everyone in the family, in order with Carlisle, and Esme, along with Mom, Dad, Me, Jacob, Aunt Alice, Uncle Jasper, Aunt Rosalie, Uncle Emmett, and Uncle Felix. I thanked her for it, and put it with my things. Jasper pretty much ignored me most of the evening, I wished I knew why.
Carlisle came home in a rather good mood, I think we were all waiting for an update on the Jacklet case. "He's fine," Carlisle answered. "Last night was enough protection, you don't have to worry about that human. He caused my boss to quit, but besides that its good."
"Last night was nothing," I explained, it truly wasn't.
"Excuse me," Emmett said giving us a glare.
"I got to say, Felix, last night was the first time I was truly glad you came to live with us," Alice said. "She was going to hurt Rensesmee, and you followed your instincts. Right, honey."
"Yea," Jasper said a little unsure. "Good thing we got a protector for the family."
"Family," I said, I truly had become a part of this family. I was realizing then, when I thought of home, I wasn't thinking of a clock tower in Italy I was thinking of here.
"Did you tell Tanya's family?" Jasper asked.
"Yes," Esme answered. "It was very strange, Eleazar wanted to know a bit more information so she let me talk to him. I think they were wondering why you didn't choose them. Last night fate showed why, I guess."
"I guess," I said smiling, for some strange reason Eleazar had an interest in my well being.
"Are we going up there for Easter?" Bella asked.
"Well, no," Esme answered. "Tanya also had a little surprise, did you know they had a fourth sister."
"They do," Alice said as everyone else had shocked expressions on their faces.
"Apparently she was the one who turned their mother into the Voltari," Carlisle explained. "Told us the story last night, that is why she got thrown out of the coven."
"Why did they bring this up?" I asked, that was before my creation.
"Irena left them a letter before she left for Italy, telling them all about it. " Esme said sadly. "Telling them to make up with her, so that is what they are doing for Easter."
"Oh," Rosalie seemed shock. "Did they ever contact her before?"
"She contacted them once," Carlisle answered. "During the 1890s, she created a vampire and wanted him to be in a coven. She wasn't a vegetarian, and they told accused her of creating him was to get back in their good graces. That made her angry, she told them it was because he was special, and she was lonely. She never showed them her son, and she never contacted them again after that."
"Why do people think just because you're a member of a coven, you will always be a member." I said annoyed.
"Yea," Jasper seemed to agree.
"Anyway, they thought she was a nomad all this time in till they read Irina's letter. She sought her out during Edward and Bella's wedding. Irina wrote a letter they just found before she went to Italy explaining it all, she has a whole other coven in Germany. This Betrix, must of not even bothered told them she got a mate, or another girl that joined their coven. They contacted her, and that is where they heading for Easter."
"What about the wedding?" Emmett asked.
"This summer," Carlisle said. "Eleazar said he is actually looking forward to seeing Felix, he wants to tell you something."
"What?" I asked.
"Don't know," Carlisle answered. "They are going to give us an update with the other sister and her coven, after Easter of course."
"Speaking of after Easter," Emmett smiled showing a football as Jasper rolled his eyes.
"In a minute." I smiled.
"Homework first," Esme reminded as I nodded. I went up to do my homework, that's when I decided to look at my email from Marcus. He could of blamed me for my wife's death because she was killed the same night I was created, causing Eleazar and Aro not to be there but he didn't, that was also why I respected him. Even those I didn't consider myself a member anymore, I owed him this.
Dear Felix,
I want you to find out as much as you can about this nomad named Rendell. Do you remember him? I believe he was with the Cullens during our little visit (as radicals as that was), he was on their side. Remember when the Romanians called us out at the air port, Caius wanted to kill them but Anthenodora convinced him not to because so many humans where around. Remember how Rendell was standing with them, not saying much of anything just looking at Alec as if he was trying to figure something out. Rendell then left with them on their plane.
Well, before Sulpicia left with the twins he showed up at the tower again. Afton saw him roaming around the city, going to the basement during the day. It was strange, when Caius left with Anthenodora and Heidi to look at her car he walked right into the throne room. That was when Jane came out dressed as if she was going to go clubbing. He then told us the Romanians created another vampire. Why would we care if they had another vampire? It's not like they are going to try to take over with just that three? Those two ancients are far from being a threat to us, Aro touched him, and smiled 'Is that right?' he then ordered Jane to do her thing. That was when Sulpicia came in, and ordered Jane to stop pulling her out of the way causing her dress to rip, than ordered her to leave. She than asked him if he had a mate, while holding on to Jane and he nodded. Sulipica gave Aro a disgusted look and said 'They will never find one, with the way you present them.'
. Later that week she left with the twins for the Greek coven, and hasn't even written back. That makes me mad, because I went out of my way to teach Jane Ancient Greek, as well as modern Greek, and my daughters are taking time out every day to write to them. Aro is risking his own laws to take the letters to the post office and everyday he comes back empty handed.
Anyway, that same day they left Monique and her coven came over, so I really didn't pay much attention to what's going on. I did have a conversion with Caius about Anthenodora's new girlfriend, complaining how much it will cost to talk to her, and being a vegetarian. I asked him why does he care so much, he then said something about Sulpicia being gone so she needs to complain to someone. I told don't allow her to call Carlisle's wife, than she can just complain to you. Now, you can tell Esme she can expect a weekly call.
Speaking of your family, Monique still has an interest in Alice Cullen. I told her I highly doubt Alice Cullen has any relations with the Mary Brandon Horus died in failing to save. She told me Carrie recognizes her and she needs closer. We than talked about our meeting with the Cullens, she asked me what I would done if Aro would of voted no. I told her I would of gathered my daughters, and Afton then left because I was not going to risk their danger when I didn't vote to destroy them. She than asked me what if I though one of Didyme's creations were on the other side, I told her about Eleazar then. She was shocked, I told her the story how he was suppose to go up with Didyme, but went with Aro. I told her how we were close, and he was the most trusted child. Then after Didyme's death I was so angered and without thinking I told him it was his fault for not staying and protecting his mother. We never had the same relationship again, when he came with Carmen we were all distrustful of strangers so he left with her and joined another coven. I accept that now. She than asked if I would of tried to save him and Carmen if Aro voted no, I said I would of tried but most likely failed. I accept that he is happy with another coven, so I have no need to bother.
She told her powers revel it is best to accept Alice is happy, and not to bother her. But for the sake of the rest of her coven her powers revel she must know Alice's story. That was when I gave in and gave Monique the Cullen's address.
Now I will tell you aobut this Rendell, well on Monique's last day here we decide to take our covens out to Florence. The day started with Corn dressed in a jean mini skirt and a tang top, which was rather unusual. I made her go back up and change into a longer skirt, than we were on our way. When we got there, Renata was short on broachers so I sent her to the book shop to get some more. She was there for the longest time, than came running out with Rendell following her. I read their relationship, I since a strong devotion from him towards my daughter, but not the same from her. I asked her what he was doing, and Renata said 'I don't know father, this nomad just come up and started talking to me.'
'What for?' I asked coming up beside Renata.
'I am just looking for….'he was lost on what to say.
'A home' Monique asked as Chelsea started glaring at him.
'Can he be a guest father?' Corin asked, I nodded in agreement, he was with us for the rest of the day. When we got back, Anthenodora came up right away with Heidi, but he ignored them. I hope you don't mind Rendell is in your room. Renata, Chelsea, and I walked up, I didn't give Aro that much warning, I don't think he really cared. When the girls finally left, I explained the rules to him.
I simply said this 'Even those you are on Aro's floor, you are still my guess and you will go by my rules…now with my daughters, Corin, Renata, and Chelsea where all hand-picked and transform by my dearly departed Didyme who loved them with all her heart and they are all I have left of her. If you hurt them…I will kill you. You can run, but Demetri will be after you, I was in the Trojan wars, and you being a nomad I doubt people will come to defend you.'
He nodded and said he has no interest in hurting any of my daughters. I nodded and told him now that we have that clear, he is to clean up and come to my floor at seven. That is the time my daughters and I spend the evening together, it is our guest last day so do not sit in the corner alone. now that we have that clear, I would like you to know every day at seven we have a simple I told him he has no choice but to attend, I then went back down to give him some privacy and sent Chelsea up with some new clothes. I think her and Afton wanted to have a little talk with him too.
He surprisingly came down to join us, he sat next to Renata the entire time asking her about her art work. He seemed amazed by her paintings, most people don't consider her a good artist he described them as breath taking.
Chelsea asked me if she should intervene on the friendship, sometimes she puts too much responsibility on herself. I told her, no, just let things happened. She agreed to back off, she has come into the habit of acting like the mother to Renata and Corin over these past few centuries, maybe it is because she is physically the oldest. Afton told her he seems to mean no harm, he just has an interest in Renata. Both Afton and I know she has a large mistrust in strangers, but this one seemed harmless.
That night, I asked Monique to marry me as I normally do and she said no because her coven lives in France and it would be unfair to her mate's creations plus she is still in love with Horus. I am sure in the when we visit France, she'll ask me and I will say no because Voltaire is the only place my girls feel safe and I and I'm still in love with Didyme. I couldn't help but wonder if Rendell would be with us when we leave.
It was strange, the next day when we went to take them to the train station we had two unexpected passengers come in the car with us, Rendell and Aro. Rendell stayed with us, or should I stayed with Renata the entire time. I swear he did not leave her side once as we helped Monique, and the them with their luggage. It was strange as Corin was saying goodbye to Lois, Carrie and Bastain took me aside. Carrie explained it is hard being the only vampire with memory of being human. She explain when I rescued her from that nut house in North America, I had become an angel saving from the fate of her two sisters. She told me even those Mary Goldens, and Mary Brandon were not actually her sister. The human years Horus kept her safe they became sisters. She told me when she saw Alice Cullen, the memory of Horus taking Mary Brandon who they called 'Alice' away clicked knowing that was her. She thanked me for saving her again, and giving the Cullens addressed. So you might want to explain to Alice about Carrie before she writes to her. She gave me a hugged, and went with her coven.
I don't know why Aro insisted on coming along, but I wish he hadn't because he kept us waiting for hours. My gosh, I don't know what he was doing just wondering around the train station aimlessly. I think Sulpicia should of stayed, I swear he was going crazy wondering back and forth searching every train tapping on every teenage boy he saw. We were all waiting in the car, well Rendell was off talking to Renata as we continued to wait. Aro eventually came out with a worried look on his face, so I offered to drive home. I notice while looking in the review mirror Rendell tried to grab Renata's hand as she took it away. Aro didn't say anything, but I notice something was strange, he seemed worried that made me wonder if he was looking he expecting a package or something. I don't know, nor care if it's his kingdom business it's not important to me.
When we got back, I finally got Chelsea to tell me why she doesn't trust Rendell. She told me because he was a nomad and will convince Renata to leave here. I asked her why was she so worried, and she told because Voltari is the only save place in the vampire world. I think I am going to try and convince her and Afton to go away for awhile, set them out to see Morocco, or someplace like that. I would send them to Egypt, but thanks Aro they are most likely not welcome.
Anyway, find out about Rendell, and check out Alice for me will you,
Thanks,
Marcus
I read the letter over and over again, as I started to put the pieces together. Some of it I knew, like the French coven's interest in Alice, Chelsea feeling Voltaire was the safest place. It was the beginning that came to me. I do remember running into the American nomad, Rendell who must of left with the Romanians after the confirmation with the Cullens. They were looking at Alec specially, even those all of us were their enemy, Alec seemed to be their main one.
Marcus wouldn't care if the Romanians made a companion, but Aro would, epically if this new vampire had power. I had to stop for a minute, Aro wouldn't those not alone. Jane was in Greece, she was scared of the Romanians. Alec was also scared of them too, I just thought of them as two grouchy ancients. I couldn't see why them making a companion would be any sort of threat to Aro's power, but he most likely would. I was confirmed that had to b were Aro sent Alec, he most likely sent him to destroy the third and take out the other two if they tried to get revenge.
That was imposable for Alec to go against those ancients. Aro was looking at for him at the train station. If he came back empty handed like Marcus had said it meant one thing. Alec didn't make it out of Romania, he was always the one most determine to get back home anytime he was on a mission. He would never stop to dwell or look at the sights, and he was never late for anything. If he didn't come home the time Aro had arrange for him it meant he wasn't coming home.
Alec was my brother, I may have been with the Cullens for several months but Alec has been my brother for centuries. Aro would of sent me with him if it was a killing mission, that meant he lost his life because I wasn't there to protect him. That was when thoughts came rushing through my head, guilt, sorrow…anger. Aro should of known better, he could of send Sanarago, Demetri, even Renata up with him. This made me very angry, and confused as thoughts of shock came running through my head. It seemed to unreal for Alec to be gone, I knew about death but still…Alec, my brother. Death seems so different if it is a loved one. This couldn't be happening, I came down stairs quickly saying it wasn't true, deep down I had a feeling Alec will never be in the tower again. I came down Emmett, and the rest of the family left it was just Jasper in the hall. I was glad, because I didn't want Edward reading my mind.
"Aren't you coming?" I asked as he looked up at me strangely, I was avoiding it. I could tell he sense these feelings but I couldn't tell him why. I didn't know how they would react to Alec's death, I doubt they would be near as divested as I was right now.
I knew they might help me write that terrible letter to Jane, and Sulpicia. I knew Aro's marriage was over, but served him right for making Sulpicia to have another child's death be a mystery.
"I have better things to do," Jasper answered. "Besides, I guess you can protect the family."
"Some may disagree with that," I answered, I was far from the protector my loved ones too me for. The truth was, I wasn't very good at protecting others at all. I failed my human family, and I failed….Alec. I had failed to protect him, when Aro first told us about the twins. Sulpicia made me promise I will protect them, that promise was broken.. When I first realized he was not in Greece I should of told somebody, I could of gone off to find him myself, now it was too late.
I was angry when I stepped outside, more angry than ever. Why did Alec have to die? The Romanians could of killed me instead of him, I deserved it.
"You are not going out with those emotion," Jasper came and stopped me.
"Why not?" I asked with a hiss.
"What's wrong now?" Jasper asked.
"Why do you care?" I asked. "Why would you care if something happen to me or to someone I care about."
Jasper was silent in not knowing what to say, I could tell he was trying to change my emotions but the picture of Alec being ripped, and burn kept haunting me. The picture of Jane coming home to find her twin gone kept coming to me, the picture of Sulpicia having to lose another child because someone didn't think his life was important to others as it was to hers kept haunting me. I was imagining her leaving Aro, with Jane both in pain of losing a loved one, it was hard to bare.
"What happen to you?" Jasper asked. "You saved Rensemee last night yet you act like it's not a big deal."
"Because I failed at saving others," I answered as other memories returned to my head. This was not the first time I lost dear ones, the last night of being human came back like a sword blade cutting right into me causing pain because of what I had failed to do.
"Like who?" Jasper asked.
"Like my family," I answered as those adoring humans came to me once again, like a nightmare. "It isn't fair, I should of died with them, I was a coward to escape. I shouldn't have been saved, I don't deserve this life. Why are those I loved chosen to die before me?"
"Why do you ask that?" Jasper asked, talking to me one on one for the first time. "Does it have to do with those artifacts in your room."
"Artifacts?" I said with a painful laugh. "Memorials, to a family that is forgotten, a family who my own self is the only proof of their existence."
"I see what you mean by pain," Jasper answered. "I wasn't created here ether."
"The first day, you asked me the story behind those artifacts…" I stuttered lost with words. "You may not think of me as the same when I tell you my story, but since it is a lost chance to have your respect, I will…."
