I glared at the glow in the dark stars that stuck to my temporary rooms ceiling. I was literally under house arrest in the Cullen's mansion since I phased for the first time 3 days ago. My father almost shit a brick, he was shocked that a hybrid of a hybrid could shape shift into a wolf. Actually, everyone was.
I sighed as I recalled my first phase.
My skin was on fire as it ripped, and my bones expanded and bucked underneath my muscles. The stares of my family and friends who had come to my sixteenth bore into my eyes, 10 seconds felt like an eternity. My father's mouth hung open.
When I felt myself relax I glanced into the pool to see big bright green eyes staring back. They belonged to the white wolf head that had eaten my face.
I remembered trying to scream, only to let out a whimper, and sprinted into the woods that were behind me. Stumbling, I awkwardly used my new limbs as I escaped the beach that held the people I loved.
I remembered seeing my father in his wolf form chasing me down quickly. I eventually slowed to a stop and waited for the confused and disappointed glances. My mother ran up behind him, her graceful leap landed her beside me. She scoped me in her arms and let me whimper until the wolf in me disintegrated and replaced the naked, crying and embarrassed daughter she had conceived. My father sat beside her, silently sending me nudges with his nose, telling me he was here for support.
Eventually he trotted into the forest to return with a pair of shorts on himself and a towel; wrapping me up in it and whispering his love and acceptance into me. My mother placed her hands on my face and showed me images of my vampire family and my wolf family each holding me in their arms the week I had been born, convincing me that for a family as strange as the one I belonged to, I was the most normal. With a half human/half vampire mother and a shape shifting wolf father, they all had assumed I'd have some bloodline traits.
I allowed them to carry me back to our home in the La Push forest, where the intervention was held.
No one knows why I suddenly went from a normal 16 year old girl with abnormal hearing and a craving for red meat; into a mini pure white Jacob wolf. The Quileute tribe was beyond confused, they -along with my father- were positive I had got some supernatural gift from my mother's side of the family.
But after about a day and a half of yelling, insults, tears and amazement from myself, my father and his pack agreed that I had got the wolf gene, and it was triggered by puberty and being around a house full of vampires every day.
Carlisle said it was possible, although the wolf pack argued that it was near impossible.
By day two, I phased in front of everyone for a second time that week and ran away. My grandmother, Bella, was the one who went out to find me that time and convince me that I was still loved and didn't smell as bad as my father. The latter made me come back home to face the wrath of one very overprotective father.
And here I was now. In the Cullen mansion being baby-sat until I was through with my sudden phases and uncontrollable emotional relapses. My father said it took him about a week, and that Paul took a full month. It just depended on your emotions. Luckily I'd gotten my mother's calm composure and rational thinking. Unluckily I had also inherited my father's sly and witty personality. They assumed I'd be back at school by the end of the week, two more whole days.
I heard the family in the lounge room below shush their conversation, my hybrid ears unable to decipher a complete sentence. I growled and stood up to walk into the bathroom opposite my temporary room. I looked in the mirror and studied my reflection. I had the same bright, green eyes that remained the only recognizable feature in my wolf form. My straight hair hung at my waist, a light blonde colour that my mother said I got from Edward, her father. My dad didn't like that too much, but he loved my eyes, the split image of my mother's. I lifted my dress off to study my body, looking for the signs my father said Leah, his second in command, told me to look for. I still had the flat stomach and baby fat in the shape of love handles. I silently glared at them. My breasts remained the average size of a sixteen year old, and I didn't have any abs, muscles or mountainous boobs.
The transformation from girl to supernatural had left me with none of the perks that I was supposed to get. Even the vampire gene had done nothing. I was pretty. Just pretty. And I was clumsy. Something my father had said I got from Bella. All I had got was the bad end of a shit stick. Cravings for steak, annoying headaches from too loud insects outside my window, and now the ability to transform into a white fluffy puppy that was intended to scare people, but instead made them go 'aww'.
I slipped my blue sundress dress back on and grumpily made the trek downstairs. The constant whispering was gaining my curiosity. I rounded the corner into the lounge room and looked suspiciously at all the averting eyes.
"…Poppy?" I looked at Edward's humorous expression. Horror sunk in as I realized he'd heard my rant upstairs. I'd completely forgotten I was now sharing my head space, at my La Push home I didn't have to worry about that. Edward just smiled at me and mouthed me a 'sorry' before walking into the kitchen with Bella. The rest of the family spread out to do various things. Probably ferocious vampire sex.
I heard Edward choke in the kitchen and mentally slapped myself.
"Lilly baby, we need to tell you something. It's nothing to worry about," My mother smiled at me reassuringly as she motioned for me to sit by her side on the couch, between her and my father.
"Is it the reason as to why I am in solitude?" I rose my eyebrow in annoyance. She glared and me and I dipped my head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm just confused with all this." I murmured my apology.
My father put his hand on my back, "Your mum is going to show you something about our past that we need you to understand. Something is going to happen next week and I don't want to leave you in the dark, Lillypad." I crossed my eyebrows at my father's nickname but nodded my head.
My mother put her hand on my face, just like many other times when she felt the need to show me instead of tell me. I saw visions flash before me. They explained the complication with her birth, and why mine was kept a secret. She then showed me a separate image, one that contained a standoff with my family and a group of vampires with menacing appearances and long black cloaks.
'Volturi' she whispered in my mind. Flashes of Alice's earlier vision clouded my mind and I saw these 'Volturi' in it. And myself in wolf form hidden behind my mother and father. My mother's hand left my face and I was brought back to the land of the living, kind of.
"So these vampires, they don't know of me yet?" I looked at my mother, she nodded and worriedly glanced at my father. "They aren't going to hurt anyone, are they? Because of me? Should I run away? I don't want my family to be hurt because of me!" My calm composure lost itself half way through my interrogation. I started to shake, not knowing whether it was because I was about to phase or because I was hyperventilating at the thought of these 'Volturi' taking my family from me.
"No, no, no, no, baby, it's okay, Alice saw us all talking, no violence. I promise I won't let anything happen to you or our family, okay?" My father talked quickly while grabbing my arms, and rubbed them soothingly, willing the beast in me to cage itself. My shaking ceased as I nodded.
I hugged my parents and told them I needed some sleep. Alice kept me company while I was being treated like a 5 year old that week. She gave me all her old designer label clothing, shoes, bags, make-up (which I had no clue as to why she had in the first place) and we played dress up and talked like best friends. In reality, Alice, Rose, and Leah are my best friends. Sad, I know, but I had my grandmother's social skills. By Monday I was happy to be back at school. Don't get me wrong, I love the Cullen women, but I had been dolled up too much the past four days and I was surprisingly sick of it.
By the end of the day I was back to wishing I was still on house arrest, not liking the way I was still invisible to the human race. However, I was glad when I had been permitted to sleep in my own home that night. Jasper had thought it would be safer if I was with my wolf family, patrolling the area all night in case the Volturi arrived earlier and got a whiff of me. I was glad Edward wasn't able to see my dreams of the sexy Jensen Ackles kissing me in the rain now. I assume he was glad as well.
"Night mum, night daddy. Love you's." I kissed each parent on the cheek as I went to my room down the hall. My jitters about the next day kept me from sleeping but their constant glances at me and each other were becoming too noticeable in the living room.
In my bed I dreamt about tomorrows events. The outcomes. And in them I saw my family broken and burning. The hate of the Volturi igniting the flames.
And me watching from the sidelines as Embry and Seth dragged me away.
