"Everything will be fine, Nathan. We will have eternity together now." She tried to assure me when the pain started to go away. I laid on the bed that was now dry and murmured how tremendous the pain was. She explained everything about this "New world" I would wake up in and one thing stuck out to me. The Volturi.
"I love you so much." She whispered before I came to it.
When I opened my eyes everything was crystal clear and I could smell Elena. Her sweet smell filled up the room but so did another 10 smells. I knew exactly what they were. As I tried to carefully move my head I somehow ended up on the other side of the room.
"Good morning." Elena smiled and walked up to me. "I hope you enjoyed your last nap."
"What is going on?" I asked her and my new voice surprised me.
"We can now be together forever." She said and stroked my cheek and to my surprise her skin was warm. The new bewildering feeling of her touch made me flinch and the next second she flew across the room. I stood still like a statue, too afraid to move. She carefully stood up and moved the entire broken wall residue from her hair and I ran up to her.
"I'm sorry." I whispered and helped her up.
"It's okay. You are just talented."
"Talented?"
She smirked and held her hand out to me. I felt a light push against my chest without her even moving me.
"Talented." She smiled. "I can move things without touching them. You… seem to have some electric talent."
Electric talent…I sound like some kind of freak. But knowing I could cause someone as strong as her pain both scared and thrilled me. Scared because I didn't want to hurt her and thrilled of the power I now possessed.
"What am I?" I asked and looked at the small sparks my new eyes could detect millimeter by millimeter.
"Immortal." She whispered and pulled me closer for a kiss. "Vampire." She finished as her lips pressed against mine.
A hurl of new feelings overwhelmed me and I pulled her closer to me.
"Mmmphhff..." she mumbled and I let go. "So strong." She smiled and caressed my arms.
To test her statement I let go of her and punched my fist right through the stone sculpture in the corner of the room. It severed into thousands of little pieces and I could see them all clearly. I looked at my hand that was completely unharmed from my punch.
"This is so strange." I mumbled and kept looking at my hand.
"This is you now." She whispered in my ear and nibbled on it.
And just like that all the new feelings overwhelmed me again and I pushed her body up against the wall with mine. I kissed her with passion and the next few hours were spent in a very pleasant manner.
The months that went by were amazing. Elena taught me to hunt, not humans of course, and the memory of Renesmee started to fade. The only problem was I didn't want it to go. Elena decided to take me to a more closed off place to as she said "grow up" where there wouldn't be a lot of tempting humans. Everything was amazing there. It was open and nobody around, only animals to hunt. My eyes had finally started to lose that crimson color and were replaced by a bronze one. Just like the Cullens had.
I think we could have been there forever…if Elena hadn't done what she did. That night that changed it all.
I was still brooding over The Cullen's and Renesmee every day and after a long hunt I walked into the living room and found Elena on the phone. She was so beautiful, her blonde hair in the sun light next to her sparkling white skin made me crumble inside but I was built up with lust. I wonder how long this would last. I feel like I'm fourteen again.
"Elena?" I smiled and walked up to her. She held a finger up to me and I stopped.
"Shh" she mimicked to me and continued talking on the phone. "No. Everything is fine." She said with her normal voice. Damn she could fool me anytime. "Nate is doing well. I haven't seen him in a while though. I'm on vacation."
What? Who is she talking to? I listened very closely and heard a man's voice.
"Okay, I understand." I heard him say… Edward. I gasped as all the old feelings overwhelmed me.
"Great. Well I have to go now. Have to hunt…but just call anytime and as always I promise to call if anything goes wrong." She said and I heard them exchange good byes before she hung up.
"What was that?" I asked.
"I think we need to talk." She mumbled and I walked over to her. I put her hands in mine and sat down beside her on the couch.
"Tell me." I said calmly.
"Promise you won't be mad?" she whispered, unsure.
"I'll try." I chuckled and squeezed her hand.
"Because I can't lose you."
"You won't. Elena, I love you. Tell me." I said and brushed her hair out of her face.
She hesitated but after a while she said it. "Edward Cullen got you this job."
"What?"
"They are like us." She said and finally looked me in the eye. But it wasn't the same person I had seen before. Not the one I loved.
"You are lying. They never hurt me." I mumbled and tried to keep calm. "We are designed to kill. They don't."
"They live like we do. On animals."
"No. They live in the city. With HUMANS."
"Like I DID." She reminded me.
"Renesmee was warm." I whispered.
"She is half vampire, half human." She said quietly. "Bella gave birth to her before she was changed."
"No." I mumbled and let go of her hands.
"Yes. Is there a problem, Nathan?" she asked and put her hand on my back. I pulled away.
"Don't talk about Renesmee like that."
"Like what?" she asked offended but still concerned.
"Like a monster." I growled and stood up. "Like us. We are killers…she is better than that." I said as I walked back and forth in the room. We stayed silent for a while.
"You…love her?" Elena asked and I stopped cold by the reminder.
"Yes." I whispered and looked at over the lake.
I heard Elena laugh behind me and I slowly turned around with a growl. "You think this is funny?"
"It's just you think this is such a problem." She said when her laughter stopped. "You were only attracted to her because of her half vampire side."
"What?" I yelled at her. How dare she?
"Yes. We are desired by humans to make it easier to feed on them." She said like it was obvious. Then it hit me like a truck. That was why I desired Elena. My love for her was untrue while my love for Renesmee was nothing but real. I knew it in my heart.
"That wasn't what that was." I mumbled.
"Nate." she smiled and walked up to me. "Trust me." She put her hand on my back.
"DON'T!" I yelled and shocked her away. "YOU LIED TO ME!" I yelled as I walked up to her, laying on the floor.
"Nate." she mumbled and could barely move.
"Where are they?!" I shouted and got no answer. "WHERE. ARE. THEY?" I hunched down to her.
"I don't know." She whispered and tried to move. "Nathan..." she almost cried out.
"Don't ever talk to me again." I snarled and pushed one last shock at her and her eyes almost went pitch black. Nobody in there. For a second I thought about what I had done but quickly brushed it off me.
I have to find Renesmee, I thought and ran to Elena's closet. I took a bag and broke open her safe and filled the bag with all the money and my pass port and an extra untraceable pre-paid phone.
I would get out of here.
With the closest thing to tears I could muster up I ran away from the house with my bag. I had no idea where I was going but I stopped cold when a wonderful scent captivated me.
"Humans."
With a smirk I ran up to the little house and through the window I saw a man watching TV. Just as I was about to sprint inside I saw a little girl run up to him and yell 'DADDY'. The growl that had been rising quickly disappeared. I dug my hands into the wood of the house and took out big chunks. The smell…so wonderful. I heard the little girl say good night and run upstairs. The (what I assume) mother came inside the room and put down a plate of food on the table in front of the man. He tripped her over and laughed.
"Stupid bitch." He chuckled and took another sip of his beer. I felt my lip quiver as it brought back all the memories of my own childhood. But I made sure to wait till the woman walked upstairs and I heard her say good night to the girl.
It was time. I busted open the door and before he could even see me I started draining him with my hand over his mouth. I clearly heard his heart slow down and pulled away when I heard the mother react to the noise of the door. Quickly I sprinted out and never stopped running away. I could hear the woman scream as I ran away.
I reached my goal when I had successfully made it home. The first thing I did was go to Renesmee's house. They must have answers. When I walked up to the house I couldn't smell or hear anyone. I broke open the door and walked around in the house. I could still smell Renesmee in certain areas. They haven't been gone long. As I walked back to the door I caught my own reflection in the window.
My eyes…crimson.
I carefully placed my hand in the window where my eyes reflected. The sight of my own eyes in a blood red color made me realize. I had killed someone. I thought I could be different, strong. With a growl I smashed the window with my "talent" and ran into the woods.
What would I do? I'm a somewhat newborn vampire and I have no idea how to survive alone. I was weak alone but then I remembered…the Volturi.
I traveled to the city on foot through the high grass to avoid being noticed. After a while I could see a little almost castle looking, cinnamon brown brick town that was situated on a hill. With a smile I sprinted to the town and carefully snuck through the houses and finally arrived at a magnificent big brick building. This has to be it, I thought and broke through a wooden door that had small metal details on it. My eyes moved across the long corridor that looked just as ancient looking inside as it did outside.
Now what? I thought and took my gloves off. I slowly walked along the corridor and let my fingers slide across the wall.
"Who are you?" a stern female voice said and scared me. I lightly gasped and looked at the somewhat small blonde woman with bright red eyes and a wicked evil look on her face.
"He-hello. I'm here to see Aro." I mumbled.
"I didn't ask what you were here for. I asked who you are." She hissed.
"I'm Nathan Sullivan." I said and saw a small hint of recognition by my name. "Elena's…. vampire."
"Now… what do you want?" she said and allowed me to speak.
"I want to see Aro." I said and walked closer to her.
"A lot of people want to see Aro."
"I can only imagine." I said. "But I promise not to waste your time."
She hesitated and looked me up and down. "This way." She said and I quickly followed her. We walked for a while and then two men opened two big doors for us. The room was huge and the ceilings were tall. My eyes caught three men sitting at the other side of the room from me.
"Who is this?" a man with black hair said.
"Nathan Sullivan." I answered for her. The man seemed shocked by the fact that I spoke up.
"And what might you want, Nathan?" he said and put his hands together.
"Answers." I said right away.
"Well then come here." He smirked and held his hands out. I carefully walked up to him and put my hand in his. I lightly gasped as a feeling of unease came over me from his touch. His expression changed after a while and he let go of my hand in one sudden movement and I was being dragged outside.
"What are you doing?" I shouted as the doors closed. "LET GO!" I demanded as the fear built up inside me.
"BE QUIET!" one of the men yelled at me and threw me inside a room and locked the door behind them.
"What are you going to do to me?" I yelled after them as they walked away. "HEY!" I shouted as a last attempt of contact. Panic struck and I started walking around in the room. Crap. Crap, crap, crap, crap! They are going to kill me. I know it. I'm dead. I won't even get to see Renesmee through these eyes. I won't get to say good bye. My knees crumbled and I fell down on the floor. I took a few deep breaths and tried to mentally calm down. Yes I will, I thought to myself over and over again.
After about an hour I started to wish I could sleep again. Just disappear. But then they came back..
"What are you going to do?" I asked them as the unlocked the door and waited for me. "I won't come until you tell me."
The biggest of the guys sighed and took a firm grip of my arm and dragged me back to the big room.
"NO!" I yelled and they covered up my mouth. They threw me down on the ground before Aro and I kneeled before him to show he had the power. Just don't kill me.
"Stand up." He said and I slowly hesitated. "STAND. UP." he said calmly but with a hint of threat.
I did as he said and stood up in front of him. "I'm sorry." I mumbled.
"You have quite the story, young man." He said. I nodded and remembered his "talent".
"Please…" I mumbled.
"What?"
"Don't… kill me."
He let out a laugh and clapped his hands. "We are not going to kill you, Nathan."
"You are not?" I asked surprised and looked up at him.
"No. We could use you."
"Really?"
"You know we can." He said and held his hand up, reminding me of his talent once more. "…and I can give you what you want."
I looked questioningly at him.
"Renesmee." He said like he tasted her and it sent chills down my spine and a growl up my throat that I quickly muffled.
"How?" I asked.
"We can get you close to her. As a matter of fact..." he said and looked back at the two men quickly. ".. we have a quest for you." He smirked and put his hands together.
"What? I will do anything." I said desperately.
"Check up on the Cullen's."
"No problem." I assured him. "But…what should I check up on?"
"The kids" he smirked.
"K-kids..?" I whispered and felt the life drain out of me.
"Yes. Oh you didn't know?" he said and I heard the pleasure he got out of my pain.
"No." I held up my hand. "Remember?" I said and reminded HIM of his talent. He had been in my mind, he knew my love and the pain that would cause me.
He nodded like he was impressed. "Might you be up for this quest?" he said.
I hesitated. "I'm just going to see if the…." I swallowed down a lump of pain and hissed the last part. "kids… are okay?"
"They still have vampire in them. See if they are a threat to us." A man behind Aro said and Aro nodded.
"But…" I said and hesitated to finish the sentence.
"But?" Aro said.
".. they will kill me if they see me. I won't have the chance." I finished.
Aro chuckled and put his hands on my shoulders. "With us on your side.. Nobody would dare to hurt you." He said and his words filled me up with power and I smirked before he let go.
"Will I be a part of you then? If I do it."
Aro slowly glanced at me and nodded. "Yes. Unless you fail."
"I won't." I smirked. "When can I leave?"
"Well as soon as possible, my child." He said and gestured towards Jane. "Could you, please?" he asked her. With a smile she walked out of the room and came back with a human.
"What's going on?" I asked with a rugged voice as the burning sensation filled my throat.
"Feed." He said and Jane threw down the human in front of me on the floor. It was a young crying woman.
"Please…don't!" she yelled and backed up.
"FEED." Aro demanded. He knew how much it killed me to do so. But I had to prove myself.
"PLEASE!" the woman cried. "I have a daug..." I interrupted her sentence and dug my teeth into her neck. She screamed as the warm liquid filled my mouth. The blood sent me into frenzy and I couldn't get enough. A part inside of me died with the woman and the other one thrived of the woman's agony.
What had I become...
