RFTV chapter 6
Jessica got off the phone.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Our friends in England are moving here," said Jessica.
"Why?" I asked.
"They added a new clan member that was well known, and they must fake her death so no one will know the truth about vampires," said Jessica.
"How old is the new member?" asked Ari.
"Seventeen," said Jessica.
"So she will be going to a school here?" asked Elizabeth.
"Yes," said Jessica.
"Why don't they move to a closer by place like Ireland?" I asked.
"Because in Ireland it is sunny," said Greg.
"Oh, I see," I said, "And it's always foggy in England."
"Right," responded Elizabeth.
"The problem is, they don't know about Channy," said Jessica.
"You never told them?" asked Ari.
"I said we had a new clan member," said Jessica, "but I never said that she is an immortal child."
"Well we can't just leave her at home," said Elizabeth.
"I know," said Jessica.
"We'll have to explain to them about her, and prove that she can resist," said Greg.
"I could probably train her before we go to see them," said Jessica.
Before I knew it I was in the woods. Jessica held a bleeding rabbit in front of my face. Right away, I grabbed the rabbit and stuffed it in my mouth.
"No," said Jessica.
"I think you mean nom," I thought, "as in nom nom nom."
"Spit it out," said Jessica. I shook my head no. I was currently sucking the blood out of the poor creature. "You must learn to resist even after you have tasted blood," said Jessica, "If you have already taken a bite you need to stop it." I spit out the rabbit. It still had some blood in it.
"Your next lesson will begin tomorrow," she said. I picked out the dead rabbit.
"No use letting good blood go to waste," I said. Jessica snatched the rabbit from me and threw it.
The next day, Erik had to help track my running speed.
"If you ever get in a fight with vampires, especially ones more experienced then you," said Erik, "Run, don't fight."
"Like the Volturi?" I asked.
"Yes," he answered.
He timed me.
"Not fast enough," he said.
"What?"
"You're not a newborn anymore," he said.
"Right," I said. I already knew about the whole one-year at your strongest thing.
"Keep running," he said.
"But I have more to learn," I said.
"It doesn't matter," he said.
"That's not fair," I said.
"What's not fair is I'm spending my time with some kid when I could be hunting deer," he said.
I ran off into the woods and he didn't follow me. I ran back and held out my hand; it contained three dead mice.
"There," I said, "I hope I got back here not too late for you."
The next day Greg helped me test my strength by letting me hit rocks and Try to climb trees.
"You need to be strong enough to throw rocks, but not strong enough to destroy everything you touch," said Greg. Later, I went back into training my powers with Dave and Ari.
"I discovered something new with my powers," I said.
"What?" Dave asked.
"Try walking towards me," I said. He took two steps forward and I visualized pink sonic waves pushing him back. He slid back.
"Cool," he said.
"It's not much now," said Ari , "But with some practice you could probably knock him back a few hundred feet."
"Ok, run towards me,' I said. As Ari ran, I visualized a pink force field around me. Ari flew up in the Ari, and grabbed onto a tree.
"Awesome," I said. Ari came back down.
"With even more practicing you could break glass easily," said Dave.
"Tomorrow we will be seeing our friends the Damalikes again, so look presentable," said Jessica. I spent the rest of the day hunting, then learning to resist. The reason I was so determined was because of how everyone was excited to see their friends again and I didn't want to ruin it for them.
"Great job," said Jessica as I bit into a deer.
"Thanks," I replied as I munched on the dead body.
"You were able to go out in public while you were thirsty, and then hunt without harming any mountain climbers," she said.
Today's the big day! I got in the car as we drove off. I looked at the evergreen trees through the window, and cloudy sky as we rode along the once moss now snow covered land of Seattle. Finally, we came to a stop.
"Don't get out until we tell you to," said Ari.
"I'm scared," I said.
"Don't be," replied Greg.
"Once they get to know the real you they won't be scared," said Ari.
"Thanks Ari," I said.
Outside the car in front of a house there were five people; two boys and three girls.
"Jessica, it's so nice to see you again," said a woman with a Russian accent.
"Thank you," said Jessica.
"The newborn just got back from hunting I see," said Elizabeth.
"Yes, so where is your new clan member?" asked the newborn.
"Before I show her to you I need to tell you, she is better at resisting then most vampires even as old as us," said Erik.
"Ok?" asked one woman.
"Channy, would you come out here?" asked Greg. I stepped out of the car; my faux fur boots crunching the snow.
"Erik, why is a child getting out of the car?" asked one woman. The newborn gasped.
"Stay behind me," said one man to his wife.
"Don't come any closer," said one boy.
"It's alright," said Dave, "she's fine."
"Channy this is Catlin, Lindsey, Beatrix, Dale, and Bob," Alexis. Catlin was the blond girl who had yellow eyes. Dale was the older boy who appeared to be the dad of the family. Bob was the younger boy who looked to be eighteen. Beatrix was the Russian woman who appeared to be the mom of the family. Lindsey was the newborn with brown hair and red eyes.
"Dale has a power just like you," said Erik.
"Try giving him your small push," said Alexis. I sent a pink light wave towards him, and both he and I were pushed back a foot.
"Cool," I said.
"His power is to mirror your power," explained Dale, "What you do to him, he can probably do to you."
"But her powers do not make up for the fact she has put us all in danger," said Catlin whose eyes turned red.
"Catlin," said Bob.
"She's right," said Lindsey, "It's not her fault, but the Volturi will kill all of you."
"And all of us," said Dale.
"That is, unless we all keep our mouths shut," said Bob.
"He's right," said Beatrix, "This stays secret, agreed?"
"Agreed," said everyone except Catlin. Catlin ran off.
"Catlin, no," said Lindsey. Catlin stopped. I knew why.
Dave was using his powers on her. I'm not sure what he said in her mind, but it worked because she turned around to come back; her eyes were yellow again. At the last second, she ran off.
"No no no," said Erik.
"Catlin," Dave called out.
"I'm sure she'll come around eventually," said Beatrix, "she's run off more then once."
"Come inside," said Dale. We all walked inside. I turned my head around to have one last look to see if Catlin had changed her mind; nothing.
