Chapter 11 RFTV

*warning: mild foul language (nothing too bad though)*

We arrived at the house.
"What is the clan name?" I asked
"Cosectecter," he said, "it's the last names of the clan starters mixed together."
Their house was small in height, but wide. Not much different then the other houses in town.
"Wait, we need a back story for you so the townspeople won't notice," said Stacy.
"Fine, you're our cousin from Minnesota who is now living with us," said Luke. We walked in the house. There was a small TV that two people were gathered around. I saw foosball table behind a faux lather couch. I also saw a large, brown dining table in another room. Above it hung a chandelier. Its crystals shined like the sun that was often blocked by clouds back in Seattle.
"You should meet the rest of the clan," said Luke.
"People we have a new member!" shouted Taylor.
"Aw crap Luke did you kill another one?" asked a boy in front of the TV.
"No, she escaped the Volturi," said Luke.
"And get then she swam all the way from Seattle," said Chelsea.

All the vampires gathered around to see me.
"This is the rest of the family," said Taylor. I looked around at the other vampires. There were two boys and three girls.
"Nice to meet you," said a man with his hand out. I shook his hand. He was probably the oldest; he looked to be about twenty one or so.
"This is Britney, Haimi, Travis, Izzy, and Tyrone," said Chelsea, "Britney and Chris aren't in this clan though."
"They're just visiting, they live in another clan that we occasionally hunt with," said Luke.
"Nice to meet you," I said.
"Can we get back to watching the game?" asked Tyrone.
"Sure," I said.

Tyrone and Travis ran back to the TV and Chelsea, Taylor, and Izzy followed them. She held Tyrone's hand as they watched the game. Tyrone had short, black hair. Chelsea had short, blonde hair and a nice smile. Izzy had brown, curly hair with gold highlights. Taylor had short, black hair. Both he and Izzy looked to be around 13. Travis was wearing a green hat and seemed very interested in the game.

Britney and Chris walked out the door.
"Where did they go?" I asked.
"Back home," Luke said.

"I'm hungry," I said.
"So am I," said Haimi. Haimi was probably the youngest in the clan, she looked about eight and had black hair.
"Should we hunt?" I asked her.
"Luke we're going out for a while," she said. I put my backpack down and put on my heavy coat. We hurried outside.
"So what's to eat?" I asked.
"What ever we can find," she said. We hurried out to the wilderness. I already loved it here; the beauty of the atmosphere was amazing.
"I know, but I mean what animals do you normally find here," I said.
"Animals?" she asked.
"I eat mostly animals but some humans," I explained.
"I mostly eat humans, but sometimes I'll eat a moose or once we all had a whale."
"A Whale?"
"Taylor and Travis got on it's back, then Luke and I dived in after it."
"Then what?"
"Then we started eating and held on as the rest of the clan joined in."
"Was it good?'
"Yes, and very filling," she said. We reached the wilderness.
"Since it's late, we'll have to settle for animal," she said.

Not too far away I saw a puffin. I headed for it.
"You can't be that hungry?" she asked. I stopped.

"No, it will just fly away," I said. A lone seal was nearby.
"Can I have this one?" she asked.
"Go for it," I said. I watched her run quickly to the seal and grab its tail with on hand. She gnawed on it and sucked out its blood.
"Thanks," she said wiping the blood from her face.
"You must have been hungry," I said. She smiled and nodded. We kept walking and I grew more and more hungry. Then we spotted them; wolves. Beautiful arctic wolves with white fur. I was hopping to get one that should suit my needs. I was waiting for one to move astray from the group so I wouldn't scare off the others.

Then I saw one wolf sniff in the snow. He looked up and ran towards a bird. Another wolf attacked him and the wolf whimpered. The wolf's nose was bleeding. As it tried to get up the other wolves started attacking it. When they stepped back I heard Haimi whisper, "Go for it."

I headed for the white wolf with the blood. The other wolves started to run. The white wolf that had been attacked had trouble getting up, but it managed to. It started to run and picked up speed. It ran side by side with the wolf that ordered the others to attack it. The attacker wolf tried to quickly bite the bloody-wolf. Then I jumped towards my target. I tumbled with the wolf in the snow and bit it three times. Finally, it stopped moving. The bloody wolf ran ahead with the other wolves, who howled to the rest of their pack.

After I finished Haimi came up to me.
"I thought you were going for the bloody one," she said.
"The bloody one should live," I said.

We returned home. I picked up my backpack on the floor and walked up to Luke.
"Is there a room I can use?" He nodded his head.
"Follow me," he said. I followed him up to a small room.
"It's not much," he said, "but we have few spare rooms."
It was small and had wooden flooring and white paint.
"Thanks," I said. He closed the door and I looked around. There was a small square window with white curtains. I looked around the closet, it had room for about ten articles of clothes maximum, but that was ok. When I lived in the orphanage I had a roommate and my own room was something I was happy about. One wall was a mirror, and I looked at myself. This had been the first time in a week I had seen my face.

The room was one of the only three rooms on a second story in this small house. It had a bed, even though we never sleep. It must have come with the house. The bed was small and grey, so it looked more for sitting then for sleeping. There was a shelf and a small table. I started unpacking.

First, my clothes. I put the ten outfits I could wear (without the neighbors questioning me) in the closet and the rest I kept in my backpack. Then I put the photo of my original clan on the shelf. Next to it I put my parents' photo. I put the photo of my roommate and I on the shelf next to the photo of my parents. I put my teddy bear on my bead and smiled at him. I put my camera on the shelf and keep the map in my backpack. I plop the purse (that contains makeup) on the floor next to my bag. I have finished unpacking. Hopefully I can buy some furniture from a store; I bet one clan member would love to go shopping.

The next day it was sunny outside, so everyone spent it in the house. That night we all went hunting together. We caught a few arctic wolves and a bird for a snack. I could tell by the hand holding Izzy and Taylor were in love. Chelsea and Tyrone kissed multiple times, so I could tell this clan also had married couples.

After hunting we went back inside the house. The next day it was cloudy, so I went into town with Travis. Travis said he'd show me the best parts of town. Stop one was a fountain.
"The water froze into this amazing formation on a night where it was twenty below," he said, "The cold weather has kept it like this since." The ice showed our reflection. I have to admit, I looked great as a vampire compared to when I was a human.
"Come on," he said. We went into a furniture store.

"What's so great about this place?" I asked. He sat in a chair with wheels and scooted across the long floor of the store. The store was at least 30 feet wide. He put his feet on the wall and pushed so hard he rolled back to me; thirty feet with one push.
"I want to try," I said grabbing a chair. We did it from opposite ends at the same time and passed each other on the way. I spun around laughing and did it again. After fifteen minutes he took my hand and we ran to a cliff.

He took a look around and dived in the water. I looked for him but couldn't find him. Suddenly, I was pushed from behind. I fell in and screamed. When I came up to the surface, I was expecting to see Travis smiling, but I saw Haimi laughing. The rest of the clan was here. They jumped in and everyone was laughing. Then, I saw Travis. While he was laughing at everyone else I swam underneath him and grabbed his foot; catching him by surprise.
"You're dead," he laughed. While swimming away I heard Haimi say,
"Everyone attack Channy." Everyone headed towards me. Just as I thought I lost them, Luke grabbed my foot and pulled me back.
"Got her!" he said. I let out a laughing scream as Haimi tried to dog pile on me while swimming.
"You didn't think we'd let you get away did you?" asked Travis.
"Dog pile on Chelsea!" Tyrone screamed. Now I followed everyone else as we followed the screaming Chelsea. This was great, I felt like a little kid again. Stacy grabbed Chelsea and pulled her aside.
"Come and get it," she said holding onto her.

After an hour of more swimming we all got out.
"That was so much fun," I said. We were all smiling, except for a villager who saw us get out of the water.
"Are you crazy?" he said.
"Well this is the warmest part of Alaska," said Stacy.
"Tyrone, you're the oldest here," said the man, "it's time you take some responsibility." Just then, Chris ran in and interrupted.
"Hey Tyrone, want some chips?" he said handing him a bowl. Chris carries around a chip bowl just to fake being human.
"Unless you want me to contact the police about how a grown man and his friends are swimming in the water," said the man. Luke had told me before what had happened when police had tried to arrest a clan member years ago; they had to move from Washington state to Alaska because it banned them from the best local hunting ground.

Tyrone was so nervous he dropped the chip bowl and spilled the chips on the ground.
"Shit Tyrone," said Chris, "Get it together."

"He's right, because if you don't I'll be sure to have your friends taken to their old homes. You think you can live your life living with your friends and having fun, no parents, no rules. You think you can just-"said the man. He was cut off by Chris snacking on him.
"Sorry bro, he just wouldn't shut up," said Chris.
"It's fine," said Tyrone, "No one should miss him."

"I thought Luke was in charge of this clan," I said walking through the front door.
"He is, but since we are supposed to be humans I pretend I'm the leader in front of the neighbors," said Tyrone.
"And he pays for the house," added Izzy.
