Alice's (POV)
Considering with all the few minor hiccups the quadruplets birthday was a success, my nieces and nephews all looked so cute and grown up, I've already planned Nessie, lizzie and EJ's outfits for their first dates OMG! I can't believe how fast they've grown.
now that the quads were sleeping everyone was off doing their own thing, me and Jazz were in our room cuddling on the bed but there is one thing that's been bothering me, i keep getting flash visions, they don't even make sense, i keep seeing a vision of all my family including the quadruplets all in the baseball clearing, with the Volturi along side us, and seeing an army of... humans? It doesn't make sense with the vampire he was tall, quite handsome; he had tanned skin, blood red eyes, so he was a human drinker? This was making my head hurt, and i was getting more and more agitated plus Jasper was growing more concerned.
"Ali what's the matter?" i shook my head it was weird the visions was giving me a head ache and before i could reply to him i was sucked into another vision it was really cute, i saw masen with a beautiful girl, even more prettier than Rose and Bella she had same length hair than Renesmee, she was slightly taller than her as well, she had jet black hair with a tint of blue, she had unusually striking purple-blue eyes and pale ivory skin.
She had a really pretty smile, they both looked happy, they were in Bella and Edward's meadow who was this is girl? Is she human?, i wasn't sure if she was also a half human, half vampire hybrid but whoever she is completes my nephew, hum i wonder if she likes shopping because from what i can see in the vision her clothes are shocking! As my vision ended jasper was even more worried, bless him!.
"Yeah jazz i'm fine just had a vision that's all." He let out a massive sign and relief was obvious on his face.
"Good you had me worried then i was going to call Carlisle in here, what was the vision of?" hum should i tell him or not? This vision has come more than one occasion, Edward saw and he couldn't be happier masen deserved someone special i just hope she's good to him.
"Oh you'll see soon enough" i decided to be mean and not tell I'd rather have everyone surprised. With this shopping trip happening tomorrow the quadruplets are going to need every bit of their strength. Me and my family decided to all go as juniors this year, makes a change it's taken ages on what the cover story was going to be because we couldn't say that Bella and Edward are their parents when there teenagers themselves technically its nowhere near possible.
so with much discussion we decided that Myself, Emmett, Edward, Renesmee and Masen are all going to keep the Cullen name, Rosalie and Jasper don't need a cover story as they are actually twins, and Bella, EJ and Elizabeth are going to have the swan name. Bella wanted to keep her maiden name, it makes sense as EJ looks a little more like Bella than Edward and Elizabeth is a spit image of her so they could pass as brother and sisters, same as Masen and Renesmee with Edward.
Even though I've been to school more times i can count I've got a feeling that this year is going to be interesting.
Sofia's (POV)
I didn't know where i was going, how long I've been running for all i knew i just needed to get away, what I've witnessed and what I've heard i didn't want to be a part of, i wasn't going to be used to listen to all these lies, that my own sick father tells, how he's going to make life better for us, how we can hunt without hiding away, my father has no respect for human life i remember when i was born, there lifeless was my own mother, the smile she gave me before her eyes shut, i will never forget her, i loved her before i was even born.
I will carry that guilt with me, a while later while i was sleeping in my dead mother's arms i was awoke by a strange man! He looked wild, but he looked a little like me i didn't know who he was, but he whispered
"So beautiful, you are perfect, i will name you Sofia, i am you father" as i grew i realised i had brothers and sisters, one i was particularly close with. Nahuel, we did everything together we hunted, played, but when i turned 17 Nahuel started growing more distant with me, that's when reality hit me, when my father asked me to go hunting with him, for a while i stopped hunting humans! I thought it was.. wrong! I wanted to live in peace with humans not kill them!, so i changed my diet to animal blood, my father thought it was against our nature but thought it was interesting. Anyway.
After i hunted a few mountain lions my father suddenly spoke with seriousness in his tone. "Sofia, now that your grown, there's something i need to tell you. I am planning something big, something great, and i can't do that without your help! Once i get enough additions to our coven we can go forth with our plans!" his smile was menacing it scared me a little. "w-what is this plan father?" his smile grew even wider. " Sofia for too long our kind has gone in hiding why? No mere human can kill us and yet we go to great lengths to hide what we are.
We should be able to hunt without living in fear… Which is why I plan to attack Washington with your power we would be powerful we can roam and feed on whoever we want just imagine how much blood we could feed on! I just need your power cause without it this whole plan won't work!" WHAT! No! This is not happening.
"WHAT! No father you can't! I won't be part of it!" he got so angry he shoved me against a tree in full force i was a bit disoriented but here the venom that was came spitting out my father i have never seen him this angry and he gripped my arms a little too tight, it was starting to hurt, i winced a little and he could see the pain i was in and he was enjoying it.
"How dare you defy me, after all I've done for you, i raised you, you should be thankful I didn't leave you to die! I could have killed you since you killed your own mother but i didn't i took you home with me!, YOU WILL BE PART OF THIS OTHERWISE I'LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KILL YOU!" with that said his grip tightened even more and eventually he broke my arm i screamed out in pain!.
His grip loosened and eventually let me go, but he still had that evil, menacing smile on his face the more i defy him, the more i know that he will kill me, i had to run, i was plotting my escape root, the only way out was for me to jump off the cliff that was a 100ft drop i know that a human wouldn't survive this but since i'm half vampire it will break my fall, and if i was going to do this i needed to do this now! So before i escaped clutching my arm i said one more thing to my so called father.
"I WILL NEVER! BE PART OF THIS! I'D RATHER DIE THAN BE PART OF WHAT YOUR PLANNING AND BY THE WAY! Your not my father, My father would never threaten to kill their own daughter, you say i killed my mother but where was you when she was dying? You didn't change her did you! If you loved her as you so claimed then where was you! I didn't kill her YOU DID!" this caused my father to erupt in a menacing rage, he snarled so loud it ripped through the whole forest, he crouched down ready to attack just before he pounced for me i dodged quickly to the left turned myself invisible and cut off my scent, i ran as fast as my legs could go and jumped off the cliff i put my body into a ball to break the impact, i didn't even look back i kept swimming as fast as i could, scared that he was coming after me, i didn't stop running until i was out of Canada, i headed for Alaska, i didn't care that it was snowing, i don't feel the cold anyway.
I was tired, no exhausted, i've been feeding off blood but i wasn't full i needed human food, I needed new clothes most of all i was petrified And just by accident i stumbled across a coven of vampires while i was in the stream, it looked like i interrupted a hunt when i looked at their eyes they weren't human blood drinkers, they had golden eyes, strange. I was so scared; i didn't know whether they were going to attack me, or what. They were staring at me, one vampire who was so beautiful she must of been the leader she tilted her head to the side staring straight at me.
"I-I'm sorry I-I d-didn't mean to interrupt y-your hunt i-i didn't know that there were vampires here" I started backing away slowly they didn't look angry they just looked fascinated which caused me to be really self-conscious. The man with dark hair spoke. "It's okay child, can i ask you your name? We mean you no harm!" i still wasn't sure but i answered them politely.
"M-My name is Sofia," The vampire with strawberry blonde hair was smiling at me and stepped forward slowly i think they really don't mean no harm, god i must like a total mess, I've been running for ages, i must have broken twigs, leaves in my hair and my clothes must be ripped to shreds. I winced at the soreness of my arm but it felt better than it did a few days ago.
"Okay Sofia, how do you know that were vampires?" seriously?.
"I'm a half human, half vampire hybrid my father is a vampire" they nodded like as if what they suspected was correct, "and your mother?" My head went down, tears threatening to escape my eyes. I didn't dare look them in the face. Until i felt cold arms wrap around me, it was the dark haired woman she was so beautiful, though my mother died ages ago but it still hurt.
"i see! Sofia we were just wondering if you would want to get yourself cleaned up? And maybe have something to eat?, you can stay a couple of nights, it's no trouble we have plenty of room" the woman with the pale blonde hair looked hopeful i smiled and nodded.
"Are you sure? I don't want to be a burden?" they all nodded their heads. "Yes we would be delighted oh we haven't introduced ourselves, my name is Tanya. I'm the leader of the Denali coven, this here is my sister Kate this brown haired man is Garrett, Kate's mate, the woman with the dark hair is Carmen, and the tall dark haired man is Eleazar" I smiled.
"nice to meet you all, um just so you know, I'll only be staying for 1 night is that okay? Just so i can figure out my next move" they all looked at each other until Tanya spoke. "Why is there something wrong? you don't have to leave so soon?." I felt so guilty as much as i would have loved to stay i just couldn't get people involved, i can't let innocent people die because of what my father will do, no i have to leave tomorrow.
"No nothing's wrong i just don't want to be in the way, nor i don't want you to feel like i'm using your hospitality because i do appreciate it." They all smiled but they still did have suspicious looks on their faces but they knew that i wouldn't change my mind so they accepted it.
i didn't know what time it was but when i got to their house it was gorgeous it was a 3 story building glass was all over, it was just to beautiful to describe suddenly i was being brought upstairs into Kate's room i think, in all my life i have never seen a bigger room than this, she had a massive king size bed, her walls were painted an off white, with chocolate brown rugs on the floor with a dressing table, she brought me into her wardrobe it was even bigger than her room, it was amazing, Kate smiled at me admiring her room.
She picked out some blue faded pair of jeans, a long white tank top, with a black hooded jacket, and some nice pair of black converses i can tell she never worn these they look practically brand new.
"Ok, the shower is down the hall and onto your left use whatever you need, and get changed; Eleazar is going to make you something to eat, what do you like?" Kate's wind chimed voice was so melodic never heard a more beautiful sound.
"Um i like macaroni and cheese, if that's not too much trouble?" she nodded. "OF course it's no trouble sweetheart, and that's easy Carmen and Eleazar are Italian anyway, Carmen is preparing the guest room" i nodded, i couldn't believe how beautiful their home is, i noticed that i was just standing in Kate's wardrobe so i made my way into the bathroom i placed the clothes on top of the washing basket and turned on the shower as i let the water run for a while i looked in the mirror, i seriously didn't recognise the girl in the mirror she looked a state, she had mud on her cheeks, and nose, her hair was wild still had twigs and leaves stuck in her hair, she looked like she hasn't slept in weeks, the only thing i recognised was the familiar unusual purple-blue eyes.
As i picked out the last of the twigs and leaves out my hair i got rid of my wet, shredded clothes, i could hear murmurs downstairs but i decided not to listen as i was just concentrating on getting clean as i let the hot water run on my skin i felt all my muscles relax it felt nice then i picked up some shampoo, it smelt nice it smelt of cherries so i used that i just felt completely relaxed, considering I've been running for god knows
how long it was nice to just release some of the stress, after i stepped out the shower i felt so much better i grabbed the clean clothes that Kate gave me to wear and i headed towards the guest bedroom it was standard had a big king size bed, dressing table I quietly shut the door i saw a hair dryer on the bed Tanya left a note saying
I figured you were going to need something to dry your hair, Use this,
Tanya.
I smiled and plugged in the hairdryer as my hair was finally dry i got changed into the clothes funny enough was it was a perfect fit. I made my way downstairs only to be greeted by the most delicious smell ever!, yum! Mac and cheese. I couldn't help but follow the wonderful aroma, as i made my way into the kitchen everyone was there Kate was sitting on garret's lap Carmen was helping Eleazar with the food and Tanya was smiling walking over to me.
"How do you feel now Hun?" To be honest i felt much, much better! It's going to be hard to leave, i can tell you that now, I've never met so many lovely vampires ever!
"I feel much better thank you so much for letting me stay here even if it's for 1 night" all their faces look sad. Do they really not want me to leave?. I cant get attached i can't let these people die for what's to come i don't know if my father thinks i'm dead but if he suspects i'm alive he will be coming to look for me and i don't want him coming here, they are such lovely people and the longer i stay here the more danger i'm putting them in! NO! I cant it's the least i can do.
"Is there any way we can persuade you to stay Sofia?" i let out a sigh don't get attached sofia don't get attached. "i'm sorry i appreciate all this really i do but i think it's just better if i make my move tomorrow" Eleazar walked over with a bowl of Mac and cheese and nodded understandingly.
"Where will you go?, is there anywhere specific your heading?" I didn't think about that i mean i could go to Washington but that would mean I'd have to go back the way i came, through Canada but i just can't take the risk but somehow i need to go to Washington but not in the city.
"Err i was thinking i could go i don't know Washington i'm not sure where about, do you know where in Washington i could go that is surrounded by a forest? And sun rarely shines". They all looked at each other not sure.
"Well we know one place but... there's another coven of vampires that live there, don't worry there like us there animal drinkers well we like to think of ourselves as cousin's of there's" Ohh so that explains why there eyes are topaz Chris and Zack also have golden eyes that explains everything now, good cause i hunt animals also but another coven of vampires this is interesting.
"Okay where about do they live? i don't want to cause some problems i don't want to cross their territory or anything" they smiled.
"oh don't worry there really nice they live in port Angeles, we can arrange a flight to Seattle for you if you like?" yes! Perfect i can fly there but... i haven't got any legal documents.
"that's nice of you thank you but i don't have any legal documents". They smiled at me.
"Don't worry we'll sort everything out do you have a picture or anything if you don't it's fine but if you do then that's alright as well.?" I didn't so i shook my head.
"no i don't i'm sorry but thank you so much this is more than i deserve i really appreciate what your doing for me. You could have turned your back on me but you welcomed me like i was one of your own" Garrett smiled and gave me a hug.
"Hey it's okay, but just promise us, that you will visit, we feel like your one of our sisters!" maybe in the future if i ever have the courage to stand up to my father, then i will definitely visit them soon.
"of course i will definitely come visit, it's the least i can do" as i sat down at the table and started eating the Mac and cheese Omg! It was so delicious i couldn't help a moan escape my mouth. Everyone started laughing, i started blushing gosh this is so humiliating. "Enjoy it do you sofie?" Garrett was laughing hard i like that nickname though 'sofie' i couldn't help but smile. "I do! Eleazar this is delicious" He chuckled and nodded
"The joys of being Italian little lady, hey sofia i i don't want you to take this the wrong way or anything but would you be able explain your power?, you see i have the ability to know what gift vampire's possess and yours is just fascinating" wow that's really cool. As i swallowed my mouthful of pasta i started to explain.
"As you may know Eleazar i have the ability to turn myself invisible, you wouldn't be able to hear or see me but i can still be tracked with my scent but what i can also do is if i want i can cut my scent off completely so it would be like i don't exist, also whatever object that i touch also turns invisible, it doesn't necessarily be an object it can be a person as well as long as i'm touching them they will be invisible" their mouths apart from Elezar's was hung open.
"What do you mean you can cut off your scent?" Tanya seemed really curious.
"Okay you lot can smell me now right?" they all nodded so right then i cut off my scent they all looked at each other surprised.
"That's so weird i can't smell you at all anymore, we can see you but we can't smell you, that's so cool" i smiled and my scent came back. "this is so interesting i wonder how you manage to posses this power, do you know anything about your mother?" i sighed.
"No sorry all i heard when my mother was pregnant with me was she used to sing this song and told me how much she loved me but when i was born i was found in the middle of the forest sleeping in my mother's arms ... she was dead, because i clawed my way out of her stomach, so i basically killed my own mother.
but i loved her so much even before i was born, i didn't hear a male figure that was with my mother and yet a man well a vampire to be more specific picked me up saying how beautiful i was and named me Sofia, saying he was my father after that he raised me, trained me how to fight i found out i had many brothers and sisters. but i was still not happy i just wanted to know a little bit about my mother anything at all so i when i was 5 and had the looks and mental ability of a 15 year old i finally plucked up the courage to ask my father about my mother.
But he got angry at me saying for me to never ask about my mother ever again! He said that humans are pathetic and weak and only good for feeding... so i never asked again!" i didn't look at any of them i didn't dare if i did i know that I'd break down and cry, but not all my tears could be held back as i felt cool warm arms wrap around me it was Carmen she was whispering to me in another language Spanish i think it was but it was so comforting.
"Sofie it wasn't your fault, you were only a baby, you didn't know what was happening i'm sure your mother is looking down on you right now, to see what beautiful, strong, woman you've become" that was it that's what it toke for me to break down and cry i felt bad for crying on Carmen's expensive clothes but she didn't seem to mind she rocked me back and forth i didn't realise i was in this position for ages as soon as i stopped crying somehow i ended up falling asleep.
I awoke next morning the sun was shining and i could smell waffles, eggs, bacon and toast! Yum! I realised i was in the bed in the guest room, god i must of cried that much that i ended up falling asleep on Carmen i saw that there was a toothbrush for me and a suitcase packed aw they packed me some clothes, no doubt all of Kate's and Tanya's clothes that they won't wear as i did my routine i put my hair up in a messy ponytail i never bothered with make-up for starters i don't even know how to put it on never mind wearing it. As i made my way into the kitchen there was a spread on the table there was fruit, cereal, eggs, bacon, toast, orange juice, waffles, pancakes everything it just looked amazing.
"Wow you cooked all of this?" Tanya had pancake mix and flour on her face. I chuckled. "yeah we wasn't sure what you liked so we made you everything we could think of" this was so nice of them.
"thank you so much and by the way Tanya you've got flour on your face" everyone snapped their heads at Tanya and burst out laughing she let out a squeal and shouted that she's going to take a shower. As i looked at the spread i grabbed the delicious stack of pancakes and some fruit. I can eat any human food apart from pizza it tastes like mud to me yuck! As i cut into them Eleazar sat down next to me.
"by the way we've arranged a flight to Seattle for you this evening, we also contacted port Angeles high school you can attend there, you start Monday, we've created a bank account for you so you've got money, and also accommodation, here's your cell phone so you can keep in touch with us you have nothing to worry about we've also got you a new car, it's heading to port Angeles as we speak so your all set and before you reject we all agreed to do this for you, your part of the family so just accept it ok"
i was just shocked they've done so much for me already, but now they've bought me a car, they've got me to go to school, though i am very intelligent but only cause i read a lot of books to know, they've gave me money god knows how much and provided accommodation for me. This is to much! I've never met such a loving family ever! I just hugged them all and started crying happy tears of course.
"Oh my gosh thank you so so so much! This is much much more than i deserve really! Thank you! I promise that i will keep in touch" Carmen wiped my tear away.
"You're welcome sofie, you don't mind us calling you that do you?" are you kidding me i like it! "no honestly i like it" after i was done with breakfast i went back upstairs to see what they've packed for me i found the cell phone they bought me an IPhone i believe it says 4S on it so, must be expensive, i had, a lot of faded pairs of blue and black jeans different coloured converses and Toms, i found my passport and plane ticket they got for me. There was a purse with a credit card in.
There was also a new bottle of cherry shampoo and vanilla body wash they must of figured i liked it, which i did. Time was passing by so quickly and before i knew it all the Denali's and me squeezed into Elezar's Mercedes it was big enough for all of us to fit, and soon enough we was heading to the airport, i felt so nervous in a way, i was glad that these people weren't going to get killed that had nothing to do with my problems.
But now i realise that i was going to be on my own again, i felt loved they welcomed me into their home with open arms when they could of turned me away or even worse they could of killed me, but they didn't and for that i am eternally grateful and i know one day i will visit soon. As i was finally checked-in and heard my flight being called i turned around to 5 sad faces it made me feel sad, i didn't realise how much I've grown attached in the space of 24 hours.
"Hey no sad faces, i promise you i will visit you very soon! Thank you so so much for everything" soon enough i was caught in a group hug then i heard the second announcement of my flight and realised i really needed to go so i broke the hug and ran towards the gate number, when i gave the lady my boarding pass i made my way towards the plane, it was nice that i was placed in first class, soon enough the plane had taken off. Wonder what awaits me in Washington?. i must of slept all the way to Washington because one of the stewardesses was waking me up.
"Excuse me ma'am it's time to come off the plane now" i sat up groggily and thanked her, as i grabbed my luggage and stepped outside yep! Washington is much different than Alaska it was raining ,apparently i was in Seattle so i needed a ride to drop me off to port Angeles, so when i exited the airport in Seattle i saw a taxi man leaning on the taxi door, i reached in my bag and got out an address that was where i was staying for the time being i approached the taxi man and asked if he could drop me at this address, i gave him the paper and he seemed like he knew where that was so he popped open the boot and put my luggage in the back.
From Seattle to Port Angeles wasn't far it was only a 30 minute drive and before long we were at the address it was really nice it was an apartment building we even passed the school where i was going to be attending it was only 15 minutes away which is reasonable plus i also remembered the car keys that were given to me and there parked next to the taxi was an Audi R8 in white it was gorgeous and it was mine people were surrounding it oh dear! I gave the man 30 dollars which he seemed happy about and drove off I headed towards my car as people moved out the way a good looking young man spoke. "Wow is this car yours?" I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah a gift from my family" i had to say something right? he seemed to believe it and soon enough the crowd of people were gone, so i locked my car door again and went towards the apartment building to check-in there was a woman at the desk she looked like she could do with a scrub in all honestly and the amount of makeup she had on her face was ridiculous so i stood there waiting what seemed like ages until i cleared my throat to get her attention. "Err excuse me, i'm here to check-in?" she toke one look at me and jealously was plainly written on her face, okay what the hell did i do to her?.
"What's the name?" wow okay that was so uncalled for. She's really testing my patience. Stupid fragile human!. "Sofia Denali" as she was typing away all i could think about what she would look like without all that muck on her face, she had long bleached blonde hair, but you could tell it wasn't natural she looked like an orange, ok she just looked plastic it was amusing i felt sorry for her. Eventually she finally found my name and gave me a room key.
"Ah Miss Denali, here's your room key hope you enjoy your stay with us" it was amusing on how fake that sounded sure!, but whatever. I smiled and grabbed the room key, when i finally found my room i started to get settled, the room was nice, had a big bathroom spacious shower and bath, the room itself was big there was a 4 poster bed, plasma screen TV, and a balcony you could see some of port Angeles there was a kitchen but i can't cook so i think I'll be eating out a lot where's Eleazar when you need him. I sighed. I'm going to miss them.
As i sat and watched TV i got a bit bored so i grabbed my car keys and decided to go into town, it was small i can remember where the apartment/hotel place was, thanks to my vampire mind, it was a nice town in all fairness they had quite a lot of shops, theatre, 2 book shops fast food restaurants and an Italian restaurant which looked interesting it was called La Bella Italia but i doubt they could top Elezar's food.
Then i felt sad. I'm going to miss the Denali's so much, but i will see them soon. i realised I'm going to be starting school tomorrow and i haven't even got any school supplies, so with some of the money i got in the bank i bought all the supplies I'd need, plus i happened to pass a cute little bookshop so i decided to buy some books, my favourite book is the merchant of Venice, Emma, Jane Eyre and Persuasion. I also went clothes shopping and got myself some cute outfits I was a little excited but also nervous what if people don't like me?..
it was now 9.00 in the evening i didn't need human food for a good while i was growing more thirsty so i made my way back to the hotel, dropped off my car and went hunting, that night i was full for sure i hunted 3 elks, 1 moose and 1 mountain lion! I was satisfied but just felt all slushy i forgot the last time i hunted. When i was in my room i set the shopping by the door and unpacked the clothes i'm planning to wear tomorrow for school i just hope things go well for me. Wonder if I'll make any friends. We shall see.
