Packing
I was now sitting on a sofa with the Cullen's except Renesmee and Jacob who are in bed asleep, Emmett came back downstairs once Rose made him.
"What happened once you left your mother?" Edward asked me.
"Hmm...Well I left in 1961. It was hard to get money so let's just say I sold myself for a pretty penny" I tried laughing at it but failed.
"Years later I found out I was pregnant, I was scared I had no money or food. 9 months later I gave birth to my little girl" My voice broke at the end, "but she died a couple of days after, Carlisle helped." By this point tears welled up into my eyes and leaked over, I quickly wiped them away with the back of my hand.
"If you don't want to carry on you don't have to" Jasper said.
"No it's fine" I said trying to smile at him but it ended up making me cry even more. He pulled me off the sofa and gave me a hug, I was shocked, no one had ever given me a genuine hug before, it felt nice, relaxing, I hugged him back burying my head in his shoulders.
"I thought you weren't a touchy, feely person?" Jasper whispered in my ear.
"People can change" I replied.
"You got that right."
We must have both stood there for a couple of minutes because as I looked up I saw everyone leave.
"Wait!" I shouted "I haven't finished yet."
"We know love but you're upset maybe another time yeah?" Esme soothed me.
"No please, it's good to get it out of my system." I said back, everyone came back in and sat where they were before. Jasper grabbed my hand and I was able to give him a weak smile back.
"After Carlisle told me to move on I did, I got a proper job on a market stool selling boots. It was 1979 and it was late from a busy day. I was on my way home, well a shed I rented out. I was grabbed by a man and he bit me." I said while touching the bite mark on my neck.
"Seconds later the man was pulled off me, I think another vampire was fighting him but I couldn't see. My eyes glazed over from pain, it was like fire, it burnt so bad." I could feel Dad squeeze my hand a little,
"A couple of days later I woke up and I realized I was a vampire, well half of one, I think it was because the other vampire who transformed me only bit me for 1 second, but anyway I learnt to stay away from humans which I did until I needed to hunt. Years later I was able to control my thirst and I went to school and college while moving in different towns so people wouldn't notice me not growing older. At one school I had a best friend her name was Rachel. She was kind and caring but could be a little bossy sometimes but she was my best friend. We had an argument she was accusing me of kissing her boyfriend which I never did, I lost it for a split second and attacked her." Tears started to form again but I carried on. "That made me think about my life, about blood. I thought about humans and how they can just live on vegetables like vegetarians so I come up with animal blood it wasn't good at first and I tried to stay away from humans to control my thirst but it got better, I've never drank any human's blood since 1988. It means I can live and go to school with them which is great as I don't get so lonely and it means I have an education. I've been to both high school and collage many times and have a degree in history and art."
It was 12 pm now and they took turns to tell me a little about themselves and their stories like about the Volturi, the pack of wolves and how they all met. It was nice to just talk. I was now outside on the hammock with my Dad looking at the stars. He told me about himself, how he didn't know anything about me and my Mum being a witch. But I'm fine with, that I'm here now with him.
"Ella I am so very sorry for shouting at you when you said your name, it was just weird as you look like Jasper and stuff and I thought he wasn't telling me things. I am so very sorry but please may you forgive me?" Alice pleaded as she came outside and stood in front of me and Jasper.
"Of course Alice, you're my step Mum right?" I replied while standing up and giving her a hug.
"Yes, wow I'm your step Mum!"
I and Jasper both laughed at her facial expression.
"Well as I'm your step-Mother I demand you and Jasper to go and get your stuff while I decorate your new bedroom!" She joked.
"Umm Alice it's not really the place you go at this time of night, maybe me, Jasper and Edward can go later when the suns out" I explained.
"Oh ok, right but you're not allowed upstairs until I come down and get you!" Alice demanded with a stern look on her face. After that she ran inside shouting for Esme on the way.
I turned around to face Jasper who was now starting looking guilty.
"What?" I asked him.
"It's just I feel guilty for not being in your life, making you live where-ever you were describing to Alice. It doesn't sound like a place you should live at on your own." The guilt was at its highest point now coming from Dad.
"It is fine." I smiled at him, "Anyway the past is the past and I'm moving in with you guys now so things should be a lot better!"
The rest of the early morning I played on the Xbox with Emmet. I beat him 4 out of 5 games on Fifa. He wanted to play more games but I told him not to or he would hate me forever for humiliating him in front of everyone for a second time.
"What time you thinking of going to your flat?" Dad asked.
"What time is it now?" I questioned.
"Its 9 am" Dad replied.
"Umm now then if that's ok?"
"Yeah that's fine, let's go then."
"Hold on we need Edward" I said.
"Why do we need him for? We're only going to pick some things up."
"He can read minds and with what you guys wear it will be a lot safer." I explained "Edward do you mind coming with me and my Dad to get some of my things?" I shouted up the stairs.
Seconds later all three of us were heading out towards the garage. It was amazing! There were 8 cars in total, all new and shiny but the thing that amazed me the most was the silver motor bike standing in the middle.
"Wow" I shouted while running up to the bike. It was big, sleek and covered in crome. It looked very fast!
"This is a Ducati 848; it goes 0-60 in 4.5 seconds!" I shouted getting louder and louder.
"You like?" Dad questioned.
"Like isn't even close, who's is this?" I asked.
"Mine." Dad replied proudly.
"WOW!" I was gob smacked that my Dad owned the best motor bike around, how cool is that?
"Like farther, like daughter" Edward Mumbled under his breath but I ignored him.
"You want a ride?" Dad questioned.
"Yes but what about my things?"
"I'll take the Volvo and you can put your stuff in the boot" Edward explained.
"Thank you so much!" With that Dad threw me a red helmet and we were off.
The air felt good going past me and when you closed your eyes it felt like you were flying. The bike finally stopped and Dad and I jumped off. We then walked over to the Volvo.
"One of you should stay behind to make sure the bike or car don't get nicked" I explained.
"No we're both coming with you." Edward said while stepping out the silver Volvo.
What was he thinking, did he really want his things to get stolen? Like come on, you could tell by the look of this place not to leave a motor bike and a vehicle outside!
"I would rather get my bike nicked than see you get hurt." Edward replied, once again reading my thoughts.
I just turned around and pocked my tongue out at him. As we got closer to the flat's main green door I reached in my pocket and got the key out.
"You guys seriously don't have to come in." I pointed out while turning the key, they just stared at me.
As soon as I opened the door the smell hit me, it smelt like urine and beer Yuk! I walked over to the lift and pressed the button but the arrow button never lit up like it normally did. Great!
"Sorry guys we'll have to use the stairs" I said while pointing to them.
The stairs were concrete and they made your feet feel cold through thin shoes.
"Ella hey baby! What you doing here? You're normally not out this time of day!" Ricky, one of the boys that I knew that lived here said, he was muscular but not as much as Emmet and he had a shaved head with patters in it.
As soon as he said that all his group of mates came over and I could feel Dad and Edward tensing up behind me.
"Hey" I replied.
"Safe little sis" Harry said while I punched my fist to his and did our little hand shake.
"What you doing here?" Ricky asked.
"Umm well this is Edward and Jasper a friend of the families and I'm just giving them their stuff back that they lent me." I explained. I never told them I was moving out as that would cause more questions which would have to be covered more lies.
"Oh cool, we better leave ya then Missy, see ya later yeah?"
"Yep course." I said in a convincing voice so he wouldn't follow me up stairs and make me hang out with him.
After I said that I carried on climbing the stairs and I could hear Dad and Edward following from behind.
"You are certainly not going to meet him later!" Dad hissed towards me.
"Dad chill, I was only saying it so he would get off my back." I hissed back.
"And why were you flirting with him?"
"It's how you have to live around here so you don't get killed, just because you've never lived like it doesn't mean it never happens" I snapped back louder than I should of.
"Alright I'm sorry I just feel protective that's all."
"It's fine." I said while climbing the last set of stairs.
As soon as we reached a big number four on the wall I climbed the last couple of steps and turned right, we walked to the end of the hall and I got the rusty gold key out of my back pocket, turned the lock and walked in.
Everything was the same since I was last here more than 24 hours ago. Lots have changed since then I smiled at the thought. My flat was just 2 rooms, the kitchen, living room and bedroom was in one room and the toilet was behind a small door. As you walk through the main door the kitchen is on your left while the single bed is at the back of the room, the living room with the orange love seat and the old TV is to the far right and the small door that leads to the toilet is on your right.
"Just stay here for a bit while I collect some things, you can sit on the sofa if you like" I said while pointing to the sofa.
I walked over to my wardrobe that was right by my bed and started throwing things into a suitcase. After that was finished I went over to the book shelf in the living room, got a box and started putting the few books I owned into it. I also collected some drawings I did and some photographs I owned.
"Right that's it lets go." I said while picking up my box of books and drawings.
"Let me take that box for you and Edward can take the suit case." Jasper offered. I gave him the box and grabbed the big hard-back book from the top. Jasper looked confused.
"This book has got all my spells in like how to make people float and stuff, it's sort of special to me." I said hoping that was why he was confused.
He smiled back at me, all confusion gone but replaced with sympathy.
The book I now held was a deep blue hardback with flowers, butterflies and trees carved into it's face. It once belonged to my Mum but I took it from her when I left.
Dad, Edward and I were now walking through the main doors towards the car and bike. We put the stuff in the boot of the Volvo and Edward started to climb in the front of the car while I was pulling my helmet on for the bike trip back to my new home.
"Thanks for coming Dad" I thanked him.
"It's fine, I just wish I knew you sooner so you never had to live here."
"Just promise me one thing." I said while we both climbed on the bike.
"Anything." Dad said now feeling confused.
"Promise me I never have to come back!"
"I promise." He replied while starting the roaring engine and we sped away towards the Cullen's home with a smile on our faces.
