~Still in Masen's POV~
"MASEN WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! YOU KISSED THAT HER, OUT OF ALL PEOPLE... HER!" WHAT! Surely she doesn't actually believe i kissed her willingly. "Sofie I didn't kiss her-." Before she even gave me time to explain she interrupts me. "YOU DIDNT KISS HER OH SO WHO WAS THAT KISSING HER THEN EJ? Do you honestly think I'm stupid!? You know what! Forget it! I don't want to talk to you ever again! Enjoy being with that whore!" I didn't know what to feel, or what to do, i stood froze in my spot, it felt like my heart was being ripped in pieces, everyone in the lot was silent i then watched Sofie said goodbye to everyone else and grabbed Annie into her car i ran towards the car.
"SOFIE! SOFIA! Please let me explain! You can't possibly believe i would kiss Alyssa willingly when i love you!" Sofia snorted angrily. "I don't know Mase, maybe you would, it wouldn't surprise me anyway! Get away from my car!" WHAT! She would actually think i would do that to her! I refused to move. "NO I AM NOT MOVING UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO ME!" Sofia growled. "MASEN IF YOU DO NOT MOVE AWAY FROM MY CAR I WILL RUN YOU DOWN!" i didn't care it wouldn't hurt me anyway but i didn't want to make her more mad than she was. Annie looked at me with an apologetic smile knowing that she knew i didn't kiss Alyssa willingly i can't believe she's got rid of the one thing that was good in my life. And now i may not have her.
I watched as Sofie pulled out the parking lot i looked around the lot everyone was looking at me with sympathy Anna and Sam wrapped their arms around me, i didn't realise i was crying at this point but i wrapped my arms around Anna and Sam. I thanked them all i wanted to do right now was crawl under a rock and just rot.
I looked for my sisters and there they were standing next to momma and dad, i walked up to them Nessie hugged me while Lizzie was scolding me. "MASEN how could you kiss that... how could you do that to Sofie!" my own sister doesn't believe me?! Oh that's just perfect. "LIZZIE how could you say that! I'm supposed to be your brother, you're supposed to stand by me no matter what.. ask any of these lot that i didn't kiss that girl willingly i said to Alyssa how much i loved Sofie but Alyssa looked like she was going to cry and it looks bad if a boy makes a girl cry so i went to give her a hug i didn't realise it was a trick for her to try and kiss me! SHE WAS THE ONE THAT KISSED ME! i pushed her off me and that was when you lot walked behind me.
but of course you wouldn't know that because you just assume that i would do something like that to her.! Yeah i may be wreckless and act like i don't give a crap! But do you know what Lizzie i would never admit my true feelings for someone but then kiss somebody else! But of course you think so little of me!" Lizzie looked completely shocked but i was just so mad! Momma was trying to calm me down but i shook her off me.
"Mase... i'm so sorry i shouldn't have said that! i know you would never do that! i wasn't thinking!" I didn't care! "yeah you wasn't but save it i don't want to hear it from my own sister who thinks so small of me! fuck this i'm walking home!" after a lot of protests i jogged out of the parking lot to not raise suspicion but just before i was out i walked straight up to Alyssa who looked like she enjoyed every minute of what happened. "Happy with yourself are you! Don't you ever come near me again! Otherwise you'll regret it!" Alyssa looked scared as hell GOOD! She's toke away the best thing that ever happened to me!.
i carried on jogging towards the woods in human pace when i was out of sight i started running full speed in no time i was by the cottage but i wasn't going to stop i was heading straight to Sofie's house, when i got there i could see her car in the garage. Chris's car wasn't there and Lilly's was so i when i got there I stopped running i started fixing myself up, when i knocked the door 4 times Lilly answered the door. I smiled sadly.
"Hi Lilly is Sofia home?" Lilly looked at me with an apologetic face, she offered me to come inside. "Hi Masen yes she is, come in!" Lilly didn't look angry more or less confused i got to say i liked what grandma did with the house, the living area was big, it was all open planned which connected to the kitchen which was even bigger the stairs were a windy staircase, Lilly offered for me to take a seat.
"Now Masen, i don't know what happened between you two, I've tried to ask her but she just won't talk to me about it, can you please explain to me why my daughter is upstairs crying?, Annie is with her at the moment but even she won't tell me!" I was so close to crying again but i managed to keep my composure.
"Well, it's kind of a long story but I'll cut it short, there's a girl at our school who is jealous of Sofia because she likes me, but she only likes me because me and our family is rich, the girl Alyssa attacked Sofia at lunch because Sofia was sticking up for Annie, which her ended up getting hit against the lockers" After when i said that Lilly's amber eyes were burned with fury she was pissed off but i reassured her she wasn't hurt she was just disoriented.
"But clearly when i told her how i felt about Sofia she didn't like it, so what she did while i was waiting for Sofia to come out of Gym which is our last lesson Alyssa approached me again, she tried to invite me and my brother EJ to a party but i didn't want to go besides she didn't invite my sisters and sofie on purpose, i told her how i felt about sofie again but she wasn't having it so she pretended to cry but i didn't realise that and Bella and Edward raised me to say that if girls cry you have to give them a hug to make them stop crying so i went to hug Alyssa to get her to stop crying but instead she kissed me!
i pushed her straight off me but the reason why she did it was to piss off Sofie, but i didn't realise that Sofie was behind me that exact moment! And when i went to explain Sofie understandably flipped out! I know it looked really bad but i did push her off me and i don't even like Alyssa. But please Lilly believe me when i say i would never hurt your daughter, you don't know this but i made a vow to protect her and i promised I'd never hurt her in anyway i love her, i really do, but she just wont give me the chance to explain, she said she never wants to speak to me again! She actually believes that i would willingly kiss someone else." Lilly looked shocked i broke down again Lilly was then next to me she gave me a comforting hug.
"Oh Masen.. I know you would never do anything to hurt my daughter but you have got to understand why Sofia is so angry from her point of view it looked like you kissed another girl right in front of her, think about it, if you were walking with your sisters and friends and you saw Sofia kiss another boy what would you do?" Lilly was so understanding but she's got a point i would be furious if i saw Sofia kiss another boy regardless whether she willingly did or not!.
"I would be... furious! I guess i see where she's coming from... but i just want her to listen to me.. i don't know what I'm going to do if she doesn't ever want to talk to me again i love her Lilly it would kill me if she hates me!" Lilly looked at me sympathetically. "She's just shocked mase, she didn't mean it, just give her time and I'm sure she will talk to you eventually. Just.. Give her time... thank you for telling me masen" i smiled a small smile and nodded.
"You're welcome Lilly." I jumped out my skin when Lilly's phone began to ring, Lilly patted my hand and got up and went into the kitchen to answer the phone, not long after Anna-Maria come down the stairs she came over to me and gave me a warm comforting hug.
"How is she?" Annie sighed. "She's just drifted off to sleep, she's really hurt, don't worry i believe that you didn't kiss that bitch i knew she flung herself at you, but sofie won't believe me, you know how stubborn she is!, but she will come round, she'll realise what she's doing!" I nodded. After a few minutes of silence Lilly strolled back in, she sat next to Annie and gave her a loving hug.
"who was that mom?" Lilly was playing with her daughter's lock of honey blonde hair. But she looked at me. "It was Bella, Mase she's really worried, your sisters especially Lizzie she is immensely worried they had Seth, Jake and Leah search the area Edward is going out of his mind, your whole family are doing a search party i reassured her that you are fine and that you were here, there's nothing more you could do about Sofia now, let her rest and try again tomorrow okay? I promise it will be fine!" I agreed there's nothing more i could do if she's asleep i'll let her rest, i said thank you, and said my goodbyes.
I just had to face the family, i really needed to make amends with Lizzie i toke my anger out on her and that was unacceptable. It didn't take long til i was outside my front door, before i even knocked the door was flung open, there stood my momma. "MASEN thank god! Don't you ever run off like that again do you understand so help me god you are going to prove that vampires have heart attacks i was ready to call Charlie to get the police to look for you!" Jheeze talk about over the top!.
"Jheeze calm down momma I'm fine, no blood, no broken bones! I'm not dead! I'm here okay! Just chill i was at Sofia's house hoping to talk to Sofie but she was upstairs in her room crying, Annie was comforting her so i explained to Lilly what happened she believes me so." Momma nodded.
As i walked in the house there was Leah and EJ on the couch, alongside Jake and Nessie but i couldn't find Lizzie no doubt with Seth. Talking of Seth he came downstairs looking.. Pissed?.
"Mase i know it's none of my business but that's your sister up there man! She's crying her eyes out! You need to get upstairs and talk to her, I've tried and nothings working!" I growled what the fuck now i look like the bad guy. "Seth you know fuck all of what's happened today yeah i was planning on doing that anyway, so don't come here barking orders at me! When at the end of the day there had been a misunderstanding and Lizzie is my sister and she was supposed to stand by me no matter what and yet she threw it back in my face!" I was in Seth's face Jake and Nessie intervened and stood between the two of us Seth looked that pissed that it looked like he was trying to keep calm pfft! Whatever if he's going to phase into a wolf then fucking let him, i could take him down!
*Masen you're not fighting Seth! A fight is the last thing you need, how bad is it going to look then if Lizzie sees you hurt Seth! She'll never forgive you for that!*-Nessie
*WHY THE FUCK AM I MADE TO BE THE BAD GUY! I'VE DONE FUCK ALL! LIZZIE CAN PLAY THE VICTIM ALL SHE FUCKING LIKES! WHATEVER! I'M OUT OF HERE!*-Mase
Again i stormed out of the house, Momma shouted for me i shouted that i'll be back later, i need somewhere to calm me down, cause this is just ridiculous while i was deep into the forest i needed to release some of this anger so i punched a couple of trees until it was no more than little sticks, i did a bit of hunting and torn a lion to shreds i felt like a wild animal being let loose, i wasn't thinking straight, until i was hit by the most delicious scent i ever came across, i followed it, and there in the mere distance was a little campsite, there were 2 adults and 2 children! Their blood called to me but! In that mere second i realised what i was doing. 'Omg what the hell am i doing? I'm becoming a monster!'.
I ran back the way i came, and just dropped to the floor i didn't cry, i didn't scream i just lay on the soft soil, and just stared at the trees above me, i closed my eyes, and all i could see was my beautiful angel, smiling happily at me, there was love, happiness and proudness in her perfect purple coloured eyes, i watched as the simplest small breeze used to make her beautiful, long jet back hair that was dark as night, blow, how she used to whisper how much she loved me. that was it, my eyes shot open, i needed to see her, if she's still awake then i'll keep my distance i just need to see her beautiful face again.
from where i was it wasn't that far, it was quite dark now my phone had died long ago, so there wouldn't be any interruptions, i stayed hidden in the trees but as i approached the house i noticed Sofia's window was open i knew which ones was hers as her scent was hitting my nose hard. Before i contemplated on jumping in the window i heard Sofie talk to someone, it sounded like Annie so i used my vampire hearing to listen.
"Sofie, don't you think you're over reacting? Do you honestly believe that Masen would say how he truly felt about you then kiss out of all people Alyssa?" yes! You tell her Annie! I could hear sofie sigh. "I guess your right... but Annie! Please look at me in my face that you didn't see what i saw" Annie was frustrated i could tell.
"Sofie will you stop being so stubborn, don't you see Sofie! This is what Alyssa is trying to do.. she's trying to split you guys up! Your letting her win! You're playing right into her hands, you know as well as i do that masen would NEVER do anything to hurt you! I may not know him very well but i can see just how much he needs you.. And how much he loves you!, from what i can tell.
Every time you laugh, every time you smile, makes him shine bright like a million stars, the looks of adoration and love he truly loves you Sofie and you can't even see it! And i see the looks you give him! You both need each other! I know how bad it must have looked but believe me Sofie, he didn't kiss her! Alyssa did to piss you off!" I smiled brightly remind me to give Annie a massive hug it seemed to me that Sofie must have been shocked. Without Sofie realising i climbed into her window Annie saw me i put my finger against my mouth for her to not say anything she didn't say anything i saw that they were both on her bed, sofie had her back to me, i was leaning against the wall listening to what she had to say.
"O.. Oh my god Annie your right, I'm playing right into Alyssa's hands, what am i doing! Now Masen will never forgive me! i didn't give him a chance to explain! i basically pushed him away i said have fun with that whore. OMG! Annie, i know he does, and i love him too, he's the best thing that's ever happened to me, Masen was there for me when i got in my accident, whenever i felt down he was always there, he supported me when i was reunited with you guys, he stood up for me!... Annie what have i done! This is my entire fault! He must hate me!" Annie hugged her, Sofie was crying again Annie smiled at me and mouthed me a thank you i nodded.
"Sofie he doesn't hate you, did you know he came here earlier on today?" Sofie gasped. "No i didn't how come he didn't come up to me?" I wanted to laugh maybe because she would have kicked my ass. "Sofie! Be real you wasn't exactly ready to listen! You would have torn him to shreds so mom was the one that spoke to him as a matter of fact, Masen explained everything to her, she understood but she advised him to give you some space but he looked a mess Sofie, he had a massive fall out with Lizzie, she believed you instead of him and they end up having a nasty fight which in result him running off, he didn't go home but came straight here. But i told him you were sleeping" Sofie gasped.
"WHAT! Masen and Lizzie had a fight! And Lizzie believed me instead of her brother! Look at what I've done, they never used to fight before i was around, and now I've made the two most important people in my life hate each other! I'm the worst girlfriend ever." What! She's not! I had to make my presence known.
"No, not the worst girlfriend, just the silliest, believing that i would kiss someone who doesn't compare to you" Sofie Jumped a mile off her bed and turned round. "Am i dreaming? Are you... Annie are you playing games with me!" I laughed she thinks she's hallucinating? Bless her! I ran to her and picked her off the bed and held her close, i hugged her as tight as i possibly could, sofie wrapped her legs around my stomach and was planting kisses on my face.
"I'm sorry Masen! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me, i was such an idiot, i was just so angry, i took it out on you and i-" i needed her to stop babbling on so i kissed her on the lips, it turned into one hell of a make out session if I'm honest when we came up for air i started planting kisses literally everywhere on her face, i was even smelling her hair that scent that i longed to smell, i noticed a little line of black was down her cheek so i carried her to the bathroom and washed her face, we didn't say anything she was just staring at me, taking me in, i think Annie must have gone to give us privacy which i appreciated.
Eventually i was lying on the bed next to Sofie we were just staring at each other. "I missed you!" I smiled but it didn't reach my face. "Me too.. Does this mean you forgive me?" Sofie was frustrated but not at me.. "Mase there's nothing to forgive, you didn't kiss that... thing! I was just so angry, that i didn't want to listen i didn't mean it. I should have taken it out on Alyssa but then as Annie said i'm playing right into her hands.. i don't want to lose you Masen you're the best thing that's come into my life! I know i keep saying it, but it's true. Which is why it should be me apologising to you!" I sighed in relief as time ticked by i realised i haven't contacted my parents SHIT!. I got up straight out of bed. Sofie was panicking.
"What's wrong? Don't leave!" I looked at her with regret but if i don't go home then a definite search party was going to happen, "I have to sofie my family are going to get worried." But then Sofie's door was open.
"You don't have to. "It was Annie she was smiling she handed me an overnight pack what the? "Annie? How did you get this?" Annie looked at me like it was obvious. "Alice gave it me, i told dad and mom that your here, don't worry there not mad, i told them that you two have made up, so mom called and let everyone know that you're safe, i asked her if you could stay over, which Bella and Edward agreed to, but Edward said he's going to come round in a minute he said he needs a word." I gulped in horror knowing he's going to scold me for running off twice today. But i am relieved he let me stay here i need to thank Chris and Lilly.
I turned to Sofie and smiled. I gave Annie a big hug. "Thank you Annie, for standing by me, and for knocking sense into this one!" Sofie blushed and Annie laughed a cute little giggle. "You're welcome Masey, you're perfect for my sister and i know you love her!" I kissed her forehead i asked sofie if it was okay if i could use her shower she nodded and started talking to her sister. After i finally managed to relax and was changed into more comfortable attire i was soon wrapped in my angel's arms but i did know that i needed to go downstairs at some point.
"Sofie!"
"Yeah?"
"Were going to need to go downstairs i need to talk to your mother and step-father!" Sofie whined which made me smile and nodded. As i was dressed appropriately, i slowly made my way back down the stairs i was quite worried that Chris and Lilly may be quite pissed off. When i eventually got down the stairs Lilly and Chris were sitting on the couch wrapped their arms around each other they were merely dazing at the TV it looked like they weren't even watching it.
As i cleared my throat Chris and Lilly's heads snapped towards me and Sofie, they were smiling brightly at me. This confused me a little. Chris got up first and shook my hand. "How you doing Mase?" I nodded. "Very well thanks Chris!" Lilly was by Chris's side i turned to her. "Lilly I'm sorry for intruding in your house, i just didn't know what to do, i nearly killed a family and i realised that i needed to get away i knew your house wasn't far from where i was and i just needed to see your daughter... are you angry?" I ducked my head down, but Lilly wrapped her cold arms around me.
"No Mase i'm not angry, you can't be away from her.. We understand, it just shows that your true soul mates, but i will say that running off isn't the answer hun! Your father is here now okay!" I nodded i turned to Sofie who gestured for me to sit down on the couch, Chris and Annie sat on the couch opposite while Lilly went to answer the door.
In gracefully strolls in my father he greeted Lilly but when he saw me he looked beyond annoyed i stood up to reassure my father. "Look dad! Before you scold me! i know how i handled the way i was with Lizzie but when i haven't done anything and yet she's the one crying and acting like i've hurt her badly what else do you expect me to do! The thing is i was going to make amends with my sister and to have her guard dog try to bark me orders like as if he knew what went on pissed me the hell off even more.!" Dad didn't say anything he just pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Masen will you please mind your language i understand what happened with you and sofia hasn't been well but you do not treat your sister like that do you hear me! right i have let you stay round here for the night, your mother thinks it would be best until the situation calms down, but by tomorrow your grounded" grounded? Oh that's just great!.
"Dad that's not fair i'm supposed to be going out this weekend, can't we start from next week please!" Dad was about to decline until Sofia jumped in. "Please Edward, it was my entire fault; it's our first time for us to go out with our friends, please!" Edward calm down and smiled his crook smile.
"I guess it can wait... but starting Monday you go to school you come straight back from school you do your homework, the only time you get to go out is only when your hunting and you will be supervised by Emmett, Jasper or me! Alice is going to be keeping a close eye on you, you will have to hand in your car keys, you can't go to La push and sorry Sofie but he won't be allowed to come here unless your round Carlisle's" WHAT! Oh this is just great! This is going to be so boring!.
"Fine! Good night dad!" I said with frustration, Dad gave me a hug and went home, Chris and Lilly offered me some food, i nodded they made me some Mac and cheese which was nice, nothing compared to grandma's cooking Lilly even gave us some hot chocolate brownies with creamy chocolate ice-cream it was so GOOD! I had at least two bowls! Which Lilly was grateful for seeing as though it was going to end up in the bin any way. As soon as i was finished Sofie and Annie wanted us 3 to go upstairs but i thought we should all including Lilly and Chris to hang out, which shocked them all.
"why are you all so surprised? I want to get to know your parents" Sofie smiled and nodded. Annie was happy enough and Lilly and Chris looked grateful they all nodded and we all sat round the 3 cream leather couches.
Lilly was wrapped in Chris's arms and Sofie was with me, Annie winced so i grabbed her and placed her on my lap, i always do it with Lizzie or Nessie if they feel upset it calms them down. Sofie looked confused for a second "Annie was a bit upset i always do this with my sisters" Sofie then smiled and nodded. I began to tickle Annie who caused her to scream like a little baby we all couldn't help but giggle then sofie joined in and started to tickle her.
"Ahh okay okay i gi...ve ha in" we both stopped she was still clutching her sides she was still having a laughing fit which only caused me to laugh myself soon enough Lilly and Chris joined in, Annie then ran to sit next to her dad she hid in his arms and he playfully glared at me and Sofie.
"Don't worry Annie i'll protect you from these mean people!" Lilly was smiling and looking at Chris the way momma does with my dad it was just so... i don't know there's no words they are really good parents. Lilly noticed i was staring.
her piercing bright amber eyes were looking at me with confusion. "Mase are you okay?" Soon enough everyone was looking at me with curiosity i just smiled a small smile and nodded. "Yeah, i just couldn't help but notice the way you were looking at Chris, it was like how my momma looks at my dad, with love and adoration... with pride" Lilly looked a little surprised but smiled within seconds she was beside me and hugged me.
"Your lucky to have this one sofie!" I blushed really bad. "MOM! Stop!" Annie and Chris was just laughing which they soon stopped as Sofie gave them the death glare. Lilly just smiled. "Oh come on sofie i'm your mother. Mothers are supposed to embarrass their daughters with their boyfriends" Now at this point i was the one that was laughing, it was so weird how quickly Lilly accepted me, usually mothers are very protective of their daughters take momma for instance, Momma nearly killed Jake for him idiotically calling Nessie that nickname momma still doesn't really like calling her that but she will call her Ness or Renesmee. When Jake and Nessie first started hanging out Momma was on constant watch, especially dad. There more protective with my sisters than me and my brother but they can still be protective with us. Like Momma had that LONG discussion with Leah when EJ and Leah first got together.
when i was pulled out of my thoughts i didn't realise Lilly was talking to me. Everyone had worried expressions on their faces. "Huh? Sorry what?" Sofie was giggling next to me while i was genuinely confused. "What's so funny?".
"Sorry Masen i just asked what was on your mind?" my mouth shaped an o. "Nothing in particular, Um Chris can i ask you something, if it's personal then i understand and i wont ask again but.. how did you and Lilly like.. i dont know meet?" Chris smiled knowingly he patted a seat next to Annie i of course toke Sofie and Lilly along with me, Lilly all but smiled. So we were tightly squeezed onto one couch.
"Well i appreciate your curiosity Masen, i don't mind, whatever question you have on your mind never hesitate to ask, well to know how i met Lilly i have to start from the beginning and it started with my human life. Is that okay?" I was genuinely interested so i just nodded and waited for him to continue, this really perked everyone's interest so it was all but silent.
"Okay. I was born in 1863 the era when the American Civil War was happening, My father was fighting in the war, my mother was evacuated to another state with me of course, i was raised in a farm plantation in Atlanta Georgia. The plantation was growing all different types of crops that had to be grown and sold to distributed markets, i was now 21 and i was help working on the farm, my mother was writing letters to my father the Civil war was over but he was soon placed into another position, so he wasn't coming home. But i always hoped he would.
I always admired my mother we were so close our bond was so strong though she worked very long hours she always found the time with me, but unfortunately she was growing more and more weak, she fell ill nobody knew what was wrong with her, we tried calling for a doctor but there was none available so all we could do was keep my mother comfortable as best as she can but after 3 days... we finally managed to get a hold of a doctor but.. it was too late she was gone... i remember the last words she told me.. she said make me proud. I never understood what she meant.. but i finally understood when one day i was still working on the farm, someone in a military uniform arrived, amongst me and 12 other people he shouted my name. I stopped what i was doing and made his acquaintance.
He looked at me remorsefully and handed me a telegram he bowed his head down, he didn't say a thing to me but only watched me when i opened up the telegram, it was said that my father Christopher Clayton Sr was pronounced dead in action while trying to save 3 of his fellow soldiers, i didn't know what to say, nor what to do at that moment i waited for me to break down and just cry, but i never i just felt numb... this gentleman that stood before me telling me he was sorry for my loss, I didn't say anything i just kept reading the telegram over and over which came to a decision that i wanted to join this war.. not only for me... but for my father.
so i merely said with anger and power in my voice, that i wished to join in the ranks and he all but merely accepted he studied my physique first, my height wasn't a problem so as satisfied as he was we got to wherever we was going back on his horse it ended up being a very long trip and we were soon arrived in what it was called to be Cuba, this was the American-Spanish War i wasn't given any proper training but i was only taught the basics but i caught on very quickly i was given a uniform, and my own machine gun, i was quite overwhelmed when a man that looked as quite overwhelmed as i was on his own so i thought I'd make my acquaintance, i merely introduced myself and he soon looked relived.
The man i met was Joham Kingsley; he was one of the toughest in the ranks on their 3rd missions so far he was the toughest out of all. While we set on the mission to capture Santiago something strange happened just before we were to set out on the American fleet as we were to be set out to sea.. me and Joham were talking with one of our fellow soldiers he said he found a place that was deemed as magnificent he wouldn't give specific details but there was just something not quite right about him, he was extremely pale, his eyes were pitch black.
me and Joham looked at each other but he was more enthusiastic about it, so we sneaked off and followed him, i didn't get a chance to catch his name but where he toke us was not right at all.. where he toke us was just completely deserted and as me and Joham realised this wasn't right this solider had us pinned to a wall with both of his hands around our necks, his arm was like stone we couldn't move we tried fighting him off but it was impossible what was he? Was all i could say.
Joham didn't really fight after 10 minutes it was like he welcomed it. As did i, and soon i faded into the darkness thinking i was dead which didn't happen only to be replaced by hell! The fire that erupted inside me was excruciating i just wanted to die! But i wasn't alone as i realised Joham was in hell to! But i didn't know what sins i did for me to be in hell.
What seemed a long time in the fire soon faded away and i was awoke in a peculiar place but it fascinated me.. i never seen such beauty.. i was seeing the light for the first time, i was trying to remember what happened but all i remembered was Joham as i realised where he was he had his back to me without thinking i shot behind him astounded by this speed i seemed to have startled Joham and he nearly attacked me thinking i was some sort of danger but we were both suddenly startled by each other's appearance Joham was quite dark skinned when i met him but now his skin was a light olive tone, his dark hair was quite wild and he had bright red thirsty eyes, speaking of thirst my throat was really raw, i clutched onto my throat i shouted to Joham what happened to us, i never really believed in the supernatural, if you did well you might be put into one of those asylums. But i strongly believed that we weren't human.
Me and Joham both all but realised that we were vampires and we needed to drink and fast, to get rid of the burn, but first we agreed to get out of Cuba and we needed to get back to America so we ran. we both discovered that we could merely run for miles and miles and not get tired it just pushed to go more quicker and the power in our strides was boosted. Joham was a little faster than me but i could keep up.
2 centuries past and me and Joham became very close friends my blood diet dramatically changed, after a while living on the blood of humans was delicious but i just didn't like killing humans so i found a way to get the blood i needed without being a complete monster and that was for me to go on the animal diet at first it was hard to adjust to, i had 4 slip ups but eventually i adjusted and i never looked back i soon realised my eyes had changed colour to a gold, instead of that horrifying crimson red colour.
Joham on the other hand he became more.. should i say sadistic, he hated the fact that i changed my diet he said that it was against our nature, so he kept to the human blood diet he did try the animal blood out of curiosity but he hated it, but the way he hunts his prey was quite disturbing he specifically hunted women that were very incredibly beautiful... Joham would stalk them for about a week, find out everything about them and then kill them.
He thought it made things interesting. Years and years flew by me and Joham had met fellow nomads who were human drinkers which didn't bother me, we had joined in many battles but me and Joham grew more and more bored so we thought to move to Canada we resided in Alberta we got a big house that was at least 3 stories there was a large group of us.. a coven if you so put us in that category, we settled in well but Joham was becoming more and more aggressive, and a little paranoid he wanted to know who was the one that changed us he was after revenge, Joham had plans after the war in Cuba but it was unclear what exactly i assumed to get married and have children.
our friendship was quite tense Joham was finding just evil ways to kill these women and it got to a point where he was planning to massacre the whole town, the others in our coven was growing more and more fearful of Joham they requested to leave to go their separate ways from us, they wanted me to come along with them.. i only wished that i did... but i felt guilt and did not wish to leave Joham wondering on his own so i declined and wished them luck.
When Joham returned that day he was angry that the others what he described as abandonment, i dont know what he was up to but few weeks after he told me that the way to get revenge is if we create an army i was fearful that if we get caught we would be put to death.. I heard of the Volturi and the power that they had, as one of the fellow member in the coven kindly explained.. but it didn't stop Joham!, he explained to me that he mated with a human, and she was with child he said it was a mere experiment i was highly disgusted by this, he toke me to see this human not face to face of course at a distance the human was beautiful long blonde hair, bright green eyes, at first glance i thought she was a vampire, she had honey blonde highlights she was just magnificent.
But this woman had moved out of human society and isolated herself my guess was until whatever she was carrying was to be born. I felt sorry for her.. it was merely months after and she gave birth, it was a baby that was for sure, but i noticed it had pale ivory skin, fair bright honey blonde hair, bright honey coloured eyes, the woman had a girl.. So it was technically Joham's daughter... i watched as the woman was to weak to even move, but stared in horror as Joham toke her daughter away from her, she weakly protested to giver her back.
Joham gave the baby to me while he... finished her off. I was just fixated by the baby that was looking back at me, i was surprised by how quick the baby grew, i knew it wasn't a normal baby i figured that it was half human and half vampire, she was giggling and making baby noises in my arms, i wrapped her in her mothers little jacket, Joham was finished and came over to me, he snatched the baby out my arms and... i felt.. upset, i didn't understand this, i've never ever thought about having children, i now thought it was impossible as i don't grow and no blood flows through my veins but Joham explained that we can mate with other female vampires but they cant get pregnant but we can mate with female humans!.
Joham looked at the baby not how i looked at her.. not with love there was no pride, it just looked it he didn't care, he named her of course naming her Anna-Maria. I wanted to ask about her mother. He told me like as if it was nothing.
Anna-Maria's mother was named Emma Carter she was the same age as me, she worked as a baker her father owns it, her mother was deceased but her mother owned a sweet shop so Emma toke over that as well as help her father with the bakery. The carters were a middle class family of course so Emma was able to have tutor she wasn't musically talented but she was good at art.
that was all he told me, when Anna-Maria was growing Joham wanted me to train her, i was confused on why, it takes nearly at least a good few months for a hybrid to fully develop so she was fully grown she stopped at the age of 17 we all discovered that she had a gift of copying other vampire's gift, Joham had recruited a lot of male vampires and used them as guards we moved away from Alberta and moved to Ontario, Joham said that on his hunts he discovered a facility that would be perfect, our friendship was more strained than ever because he grew jealous of the fact that Anna-Maria preferred to be around me than him, it was the same continuous routine Joham would mate with a human wait until the baby was born kill the mother then would leave me to raise the child, all he ever did was name then and didn't show any love to them eventually he turned the facility that was an abandoned jail into some would say liveable, i ended up training at least 8 hybrids at a time when they was fully developed, though i felt for them all, but i was becoming more worried for my friend but i really wanted to go, i had contacted the nomads that had joined us 10 years ago they said i was welcome to come i went ahead and told Joham of my plans and he was beyond furious he nearly attacked me.
i discovered that Joham has a gift he knows people's weaknesses and use that against you, he used emotional blackmail on me telling me that if i leave then, anna-maria would only see me abandoning her which wasn't the case, that was the only reason why i stayed, i saw Anna-Maria as my own daughter i was there for her no matter what.. i loved her as a daughter of course.
So for her to feel like i've abandoned her would tear me apart, Joham enjoyed every minute of it, he became obsessed with power, he brought fear and aggression amongst us all even the guards that was surrounding the place grew ever more fearful Joham even killed one of his own children because he wanted to know about his mother he had grown ever more annoyed and killed him in front of everyone, the children grown a most fearful hatred towards their own father, but were immensely petrified but they never hated me, they always came to me when they were upset or just merely curious.
One day while i was training the new recruits as Joham would call them i heard a female.. screaming i was confused as to what was going on, i followed the scream it was deep within the facility, i didn't know how Joham found this place but to a human it would scare them.. when the scent stopped outside one of the institutions I walked in and saw Joham and his son Nahuel, out of all his children Nahuel was the only one he became close to he merely tolerated Anna-Maria which confused me as to why she was here, i now realised that Joham had another ''recruit'' and this was the baby's mother but i didn't understand why she was here usually he finished them off and leave them wherever they were.
i stood with Joham, i questioned what he was doing he thought of another way to torture the mothers, he decided to change the mother and separate the mother from their child play mind games with them strip them from all their strength so they wouldn't fight and eventually the mothers would be nothing more than a shell of themselves and kill them.
I grew ever more fearful as this wasn't my friend that i had met in the war, that was a different person altogether this was just the devil taking form of my once best friend. I couldn't be part of it he called me weak, he thought that the reason why was because of my diet he suggested that if i had stuck with the human diet i would be on the same page but that wasn't the case it was just wrong to break a bond between mother and their child and it only thought of myself with my mother.
i did miss her dearly but i know she's in heaven with my father god is protecting them and they are watching over me, as much as i protested Joham never listened and only push the baby in my hands while the mother was screaming and writhing in pain i was to raise the child who was named Sofia from her very unusual purple-blue eyes and jet black hair i thought that she was also special as i was correct.
When sofia grew older when she had the mental age of 15 she approached Joham and questioned about her mother from what i overheard he smacked her hard and to never question her.. he made her think that she killed her own mother.. well that's what he made all the others think, it wasn't a nice place where i was, there was no happiness, no love, in the air was full of pain, anger, sadness and fear. Joham wouldn't let any of us out unless it was hunting if you wasn't back for a certain amount of time they would come looking for you, the guards were under direct orders from Joham, he ordered them to be quite brutal unless it was necessary.
When Sofia was fully developed and figured out her power this perked Joham's interest, we never see or hear from Joham he was always in his office he never came out unless it was to hurt his children, hurt Sofia's mother who he kept as a prisoner, to hunt or to gather another recruit. I was growing tired and i certainly thought he had gone far enough, i had to figure out a way to escape, i wanted to talk to Anna-Maria about it as she loathes Joham as much as i do, many have tried to escape but have end up getting caught then severely punished or death.
So the number of guards increased i was treated the same as Joham's children, Joham and mine's friendship crumbled he was planning something and he wasn't planning on telling me all he wanted me to do was train the recruits and raise them when there children that was all.
Since the hybrids diets consisted of both human food and blood Joham hired a cook but the food that he prepared was barely edible i was relieved i never had to eat it, when i was wondering where anna-maria had got to as she said she was going to be 5 minutes i followed her scent to where Joham was keeping Sofia's mother.. I walked in to see Anna-Maria wrapped her arms around the woman i didn't get a chance to look at the woman in the face properly just the fact that she had same jet black hair as Sofia. Her scent smelt similar also, it was the most... delicious scent i ever smelt in all my life, when Anna-Maria said my name it caused the woman to turn around considering she had the frightful blood red eyes, which would cause the humans to run a mile, i was just completely and utterly shocked by how beautiful and how much like Sofia she was.
she stared at me with Awe Anna-Maria explained to me who she was.. she was going to tell me her story until the woman decided to tell me herself, she introduced herself as Lilly Williams... when she told me her story i was just angry and disgusted and decided to plot alongside Anna-Maria to escape, me and Lilly told Anna-Maria how we felt somehow Lilly Felt like a mother to her, and as i as a father to her, she was overjoyed to say the least, we had a moment to when i was to hug Lilly but then there was a jolt of electricity that flowed through us, it was amazing, and it was like i knew that this is the woman i was to spend the rest of eternity with, though we only knew each other merely two hours we declared our love for each other, which made Anna-Maria happy.. and the rest you could imagine what happened." I was just in total and utter shock, when Chris finished his story nobody said a word, Sofie and Annie were in floods of tears especially Annie, Chris comforted Annie while Lilly comforted Sofia.
"Dad, you-you saw my mother?" Chris looked at her with sadness and nodded.
"I'm sorry Annie, i've wanted to tell you... but i just didn't want you to feel upset... i didn't want to confirm your suspicions that Joham killed your mother... god knows what he would have done if you confronted him.. but i just want to say, what i said was true, when i first laid eyes on you when you was a baby, i loved you instantly, Joham was cold, he didn't show no love at all when i was just completely overjoyed and you weren't even my own daughter, when i watched you grow up into a beautiful woman i have been the most proudest man or vampire alive! Now that you know a little bit about your mother i hope it puts some peace of mind for you Annie, Emma would be so proud of you! Your real name is Anna-Maria Carter" Lilly looked a little hurt but she was happy that Annie found out about her real mother. But Annie smiled happily and shook her head.
"You're wrong dad, i am not angry that you knew who my mother was and didn't tell me, i understand that you was trying to protect me, i already accepted that my mother is in heaven i know she will be proud of me... i was Anna-Maria Carter... but look what i have now, i do have a mother, i have a father who is my real father! You were the one that raised me, you are the one that loves me! Joham isn't my father he is merely a sperm donor, i have a sister! Whether were half or not you are my sister! And my name is Anna-Maria Williams the daughter of Christopher James and Lilly Amelle Williams" I think i ended up being in floods of tears i don't even know why i'm crying.. i was startled to hear a lot of sniffing behind us all of us were confused and turned round my whole family was here. WHAT THE!
Nessie and Lizzie came bounding over hugging annie and me! Emmett looked like he was crying. "Emmy are you crying?" Uncle Emmett playfully glared. "Me Cry? I cant... well even if i sound like i am i was just.. WHATEVER I'm not!"
Grandma decided to speak. "I'm sorry for the intrusion Lilly, Alice just insisted of us to come here, she had a vision of Chris telling his story we've been listening outside, Jasper in particular was interested with the war, he was also in the civil war as well" Chris smiled and then was shocked that he didn't recognise him. "Major Jasper Whitlock? How have i not recognised you before, i mean you looked oddly familiar but... OMG! You went missing, what happened?" Jasper was shocked.
"Chris! Yes! I remember you, oh yeah... uh I'll explain another time but i don't remember Joham! Then again i went up the ranks fairly quickly" Chris and Jasper laughed and nodded this just shocked us all! Chris and Jasper were in the civil war! WHAT THE HELL! Everybody was just dumbfounded but happy. Jasper and Chris was in a long discussion about the war, Sofie and Lilly were talking amongst with each other but i realised i needed to talk to my little sister. Lizzie was chatting with Annie, i tapped her shoulder, she turned around and she grabbed me tightly and hugged me, i did the same with her i was glad my sister wasn't angry with me.
"Lizzie i am so sorry, i should never had spoken to you in such a way, i was angry and upset i should never had taken it out on you, i mean you're my baby sister, I'm your Masey! I love you!" Lizzie eventually was fits of tears but i could tell it was relief and happiness.
"Masey! I am so, sorry! I will never doubt you ever again! You're my big brother and MASEN DO NOT CALL ME BABY SISTER! HOW MANY TIMES!" Lizzie let me go and crossed her arms playfully everyone was laughing including me a tear was streaking down Lizzie's face i smiled and wiped it away, i looked for my brother who was standing with momma and dad, i shouted in his head to get over here he winced at how loud i was shouting and Nessie was by where me and Lizzie was stood.
"Guys, i have been a complete and utter jerk to you, i don't know how you put up with me, your my sisters and brother, you can never be replaced and never will be, I love you all so much!, lets never fight as bad as this, Chris's story has just made me realise how quick the people that mean so much to you can leave. I am grateful that you told us your story Chris thank you, you truly are an amazing father to Sofie especially to Annie! They are truly lucky to have someone like you!" Chris walked over to me along with Lilly and gave me a hug! I smiled and hugged him back.
"You are most welcome Masen, thank you so much now that were all here i guess we can discuss what to do about Joham!" grandpa stepped forward and agreed, i didn't know what time it was but i was wide awake as was the other hybrids. My siblings gripped me into a tight hug after when Chris let me go. Everyone was giggling and eventually everyone was in a massive group hug we were all laughing and Emmett was starting to hug me with his bone crushing arms.
"Ow.. Emmett... hurting... arms... breaking..." Emmett let me go instantly and had a playful evil smile like as if he did that on purpose. But i didn't rise to it not tonight.
Sofie then strolled towards me, she grabbed my hand and pulled me outside we was on the seat swing that was connected with the porch we were wrapped up in each other's thoughts that we were cuddling into each other and it was silent, I sighed in relief that me and my sister made up. I am never letting a fight get that bad again EVER!.
"Well that was some story huh?, i never knew just how twisted Joham really was, i mean Joham and Chris fought in the war together, they must have had each other's backs and what does he do, he isolates Chris and treats him like he's nothing, he had no love for any of his children Chris even described Joham as the devil taken Joham's form!" Sofie had a tone of frustration.
"Sweetheart what's wrong?" Sofie sighed and looked back at me. "I'm just.. Annoyed i don't understand how somebody especially a father could be like that, so cold, not feeling no love, no pride, nothing! Just full of rage, and obsessed with power! How? How can anybody kill their own child! It makes no sense to me!" I understood what part of the story Sofie was on about when Joham killed his own son! All because to make a point and to also stop him from questioning him about his mother. I wrapped my arms tighter around my angel.
"I don't know sofie, i really don't know, there is just some sick people in this world, who would do the most unforgivable things, what grandpa told me is that when a human is changed some of their personality becomes intensified when their changed and what i can gather Joham was the toughest and seems to me he liked to control situations, but he must have had some weird enjoyment of killing his enemies. So when he was changed into a vampire he was deemed as a very sadistic vampire!" Sofie all but nodded.
"Masen I'm scared, I've been having this gut wrenching feeling that something bad is going to happen i can't put my finger on it and i know it has something to do with Joham" I growled every time i hear that disgusting creatures name i just want to kill him, the fact that he still has control over sofia and he isn't even here disgusts me! Lilly, Chris, Annie and Sofie are all still petrified and it's sad.
"Now you listen to me. you are safe, nothing and i mean nothing is going to harm you or your family, i made a vow remember? I am not going to break it! I love you so much!" Sofie's heart fluttered and she smiled. "I love you to Masen! I really do!" I smiled and we were both wrapped in each other's arms, i then noticed EJ walking out to us.
EJ's POV
Since Mase had a blow up with Seth i felt it was necessary to check on my sister, she had been so upset by what Mase said, but in some ways i did agree to what he said, i mean he's our brother! I know that he would never ever hurt Sofia in such a way!. In a way though i know that everything will be alright again. I don't dwell on the negative, i don't see the point in every situation there is a light at the end of the tunnel one way or another it can be resolved.
While Momma, dad and Nessie went out to search for Mase, leaving Jake and Seth downstairs to calm down i went upstairs to Lizzie. I didn't even knock on the door i just walked straight in and there sat on the edge of the bed with a toy lion that Mase had got her, she loved it so much, though we all love each other so much, Lizzie is way more closer with Mase there's a special bond that only them two share, though i can say the same between me and Nessie we are all so close but yet i am closer with Nessie.
I winced seeing my baby sister like this tears my heart out, Masen didn't need to be like that with Lizzie, though i can understand can't believe Alyssa has done this, she's caused this mess! GOD that stupid human!. I strolled over to where Lizzie was i don't think she even notice i was there, she jumped a bit when she noticed that she was lying on my lap, she looked into my eyes and tears escaped hers, her blue eyes were full of regret, guilt and hurt. I removed the tear from her face and comforted her.
"EJ, i didn't mean it! What i said to Masen! I didn't mean to doubt him! I really didn't, i didn't think, what Alyssa did was out of order but you was there, Nessie and Annie was there they all thought the same thing! I should have given him the benefit of the doubt. What kind of sister am i!" I winced even more, though i was there, but i understand it did look like Mase locked lips with her when that wasn't the case, but i can't help but feel sorry for my sister, and i didn't want her beating herself up over this.
"Shush! Lizzie, I'm sure Masen didn't mean it, it was probably all in the heat of the moment, he thought he lost Sofia what he was accused of was not the case, and so all that anger and hurt had built up inside him and he lashed out onto the nearest and dearest, though i do think it was silly of you to think that low of him Liz but i do understand what you're saying, i mean he was coming to apologise remember but i do think Seth needs to not fight your corner when it wasn't necessary, but Liz believe me when i say, you are not a bad sister, he loves you, i bet he is feeling awful for what he said, but you know what he is like, just give him time to calm down and he will realise what he has done and he will come to apologise you'll see." Lizzie had stopped sniffing and smiled she jumped into my arms and hugged me so tight.
"Thank you EJ, i love you! My big, big brother!" I couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Big, Big brother? You mean the best brother?" my eyebrow was raised at her and she just giggled. "Yes, my big, big brother you're the second oldest! Duh! Hehe EJ! No! As daddy rightfully pointed out there are no favourites and i love you all equally!" That answer will never do, she just needs to admit that i am the best sibling! "BOOOO! Stop skirting the question Liz just admit that it's me!" I smiled cockily.
"OKAY! If i had to pick but sorry it will be masen!" Surprise, Surprise, i merely huffed Lizzie saw this and she ruffled my hair, oh no she didn't! So i grabbed her and ruffled her hair so bad that it looked like she had been electrocuted, when i let her go, i was rolling on the floor laughing, i couldn't contain it, every time i calmed down i laughed twice as hard, Lizzie looked in her mirror and she screamed. Seth came bounding upstairs alongside Leah and Jake but when they thought there was danger they to also fell on the floor laughing they all clutched their stomachs and tears were escaping their eyes,
"nice hairdo Elizabeth!" Lizzie growled she was ready to pounce but she didn't know whether to get me or Jake so we both looked at each other and we both dashed out the room, we ran out of the house and ran towards grandpa's mansion and around that area, I could hear lizzie, approach behind she nearly caught me but i jumped above and was running through the trees, i climbed up to the very top and kept jumping from branch to branch i could hear Lizzie screaming my name below but that just made me laugh more and i eventually got away.
As lizzie gave up chasing after me, i settled on the top branch of my favourite tree it over looks all of Washington and it's just amazing, the sun was setting, but it would have been better if my lee-lee was here, speaking of which my phone started buzzing and it was Leah.
"Hey Darlin" Leah sounded like she was smiling.
"Hey, where the hell are you? You need to get your vamp butt back here, because Bella and Edward are panicking and i miss you!"
"HAHA! Already, its only been what 10 minutes? But yeah i'll make my way back now Darlin! See you soon love you!" Leah giggled.
"Love you now HURRY! Or i will seriously kick your ass!" i hurriedly put the phone down, the last time i made leah wait she freaked out on me, i really don't want that to happen again!, but things between me and Leah are great, things between me and the pack have been... better.. if i could say the least, Sam, Jared and Emily are cool with me, but Paul, Colin and Brady are still quite guarded with me, they will speak to me but it's only like a sentence then nothing else after that, it's starting to piss Leah off and she nearly killed Colin when he muttered under his breath that he didn't have to be friends with a bloodsucker! Sam and Jared don't call me a bloodsucker anymore, and though i don't care if they call it me but when they call it to my whole family it can still hurt.
When i eventually climbed back down, i could hear Jake in the distance, "LIZZIE! GET OFF!" oh great what's happened now! I followed the whines off the wolf and the picture that stood before me couldn't have been funnier. Lizzie was on Jake's back and she had covered his eyes he was trying to shake her off but she's got her legs tightly wrapped around his waist and he's running around in circles.
"I will give you your sight back if you say your sorry!" Jake was being stubborn and shook his head. "I will NOT apologise." I just rolled my eyes, but then i diverted my attention as i just thought i saw someone in the bush ahead of us, before i could explore more, Jake had whined like a baby. "Jake just apologise to my sister, momma and dad are back and they are getting worried, plus Leah will kill me if i'm keeping her waiting any longer!" Lizzie and Jake rolled their eyes and nodded.
We all raced back to the house, and as usual the ''undefeatable'' Jake won, Nessie was waiting outside worried. When Jake put on fresh sweats on he ran straight to my sister and dived onto her lips Jheeze Jake! Don't wait do you!, then not long after Leah was about to protest but before i could give her the chance i swooped her into my arms and hugged her tight. She seemed dazed a bit but then she just lightly punched my arm.
"That's for making me wait, but thank god your back!" I smiled widely and pecked Leah's beautiful lips. Lizzie must have been greeted by Seth as i saw him run past me but i didn't pay any attention, only my beautiful girlfriend before me. "Well i missed you to!" Leah rolled her eyes and giggled.
everyone must have been caught into their own little bubbles as our moments were interrupted as Dad had cleared his throat. "Um sorry to interrupt but we need to know where your brother has gone, i have tried to follow his scent but with the rain it's sort of washed his scent away, he could be in the vicinity of Canada by now! And we cant have him there... as Joham resides there!" Speaking of his name makes me sick, I need to speak to granddad an d Aunt Alice to see if we can get Zack out of that place!, Annie has suffered enough and i think Zack isn't coping also but we all nodded.
After when the whole family, made our way to the William's cottage and listened to Chris's story all i could feel was sorrow, it must have been horrible, to say goodbye to his mother like that, to watch her die, and then not long after having to receive news that his father was killed, i wouldn't know if my parents died, i think all the life would be sucked out of me, seriously, whoa! Anyway! As i tried to shake the horrible thought that sprouted into my mind, i realised that i want to help Annie get zack back! With this thought in mind i started smiling and jumping. Momma noticed.
"EJ what's the matter?" Momma and the whole family looked confused i really wanted to tell the whole family, but with Annie being there i couldn't risk it, i know it seems harsh to not tell her but knowing Annie she'll probably get herself killed i just know she'll have a moment of weakness and she'll find him herself. So all i did was smile and reassured everyone that it was nothing, while the pack was out on patrol everyone was merely talking with everyone but me and my siblings were talking with each other.
*Okay EJ seriously what has gotten you so excited as usual?*-Nessie
*Uhh... I'm not sure if i should tell you guys yet!*-EJ
*Why not?*-Annie
*Yeah EJ why?*-Lizzie
*Uhh... erm! Really guys it's not that much of a big deal you know what I'm like I'm always happy and energetic somebody has to be.*-EJ
*HA! Nice way of getting out of it bro!*-Mase
*NO! I'm not trying to get out of it! I'm being serious it's nothing! Okay if you want to know its just something about Leah there you happy?*-EJ
*Your hiding something your my brother EJ and i know when your hiding something! Why can't you just tell us?*-Nessie
*NESSIE! I just told you! I'm not hiding anything*-EJ
*Whatever i'm not buying it!*-Lizzie
*sorry bro but me neither*-Mase
*Oh come on guys, if he says it's not a big deal then it's not, if he doesn't want to tell us he doesn't have to, we cant make him if it's something private or something that we really don't want to know then i think it's best he doesn't tell us!*-Annie
*Thank you Annie! So are you guys satisfied or what?!*-EJ
*yeah Annie's right! Sorry EJ*-Mase
*No sweat bro! Hey Mase is it okay if i talk to you for a second?*-EJ
As soon as i said that Mase was by my side, i moved my head in a gesture for him to move, i realised also that i needed aunt Alice, grandpa, dad , Chris and Emmett. "Um, Chris, Alice, Grandpa, Dad, Emmett is it okay if i talk to you for a sec?" everyone looked confused but they all nodded, I led the way deep into the forest so we was out of hearing range once and for all we need a way to get zack. Mase spoke first.
"EJ what's this all about?" I smiled widely. Aunt Alice gasped she was pulled into a vision but she quickly came back out of it, she knows what i'm going to tell her so Dad knew as well. Grandpa, Emmett and Mase and Chris were confused.
"Ok! Guys the reason why i brought you out here is because of Anna-Maria! I dont think you notice aside from Mase. But lately she's been really upset, she doesn't feel comfortable being here, it's not because its us its because she misses her best friend or which me and Mase believe to be her soul mate, His name is Zack, Chris i'm sure your aware, according to Annie she has known him for centuries, and when she had to leave with Lilly and Chris she was and still is heartbroken, now Alice i brought you ou" Before i could finish my explanation Aunt Alice interrupted.
"You brought me out here because you want to see if the plan your planning to help get Zack out of the solitary confinement successfully" Everyone's head snapped towards me. there were mixed emotions there was confusion with Emmett and Grandpa, Mase was happy, Dad was i dont know what Dad was feeling he had his poker face on as usual. Grandpa spoke.
"are we successful Alice?" Alice then thought about her vision she was in a trance like state for a while when she finished she smiled. "The plan is risky but you do get Zack out successfully, dont be alarmed Edward, Joham hasn't put him up to anything, he cares deeply for Anna-Maria all he wants is to be with her, so he isn't going to betray us, the only thing is though, when you are coming back two vampires chase after you, but Emmett takes care of them, they try to take zack but Emmett manages to grab them in time." Emmett smiled and was ready.
Chris then spoke. "I understand why you need me EJ, it's because you know that i know the place well, but yes! What your asking of us is a very risky thing indeed, but if it makes my daughter happy then that's okay with me, okay! As i've pointed out to Lilly, there are over 100 exits, BUT! The place is on lockdown, there are at least 300 guards altogether, and with Sofia, Annie, Lilly and myself gone, there's no doubt in my mind Joham has added more guards, there will be guards blocking every exit outside and in, if i know Joham well enough he would have used an escort with all the hybrids while they are out hunting, so i think the best person to use will be Lilly! Before you speak, Lilly has the most interesting gift she can physically change her appearance, so what i'm thinking if she poses as a guard she can easily walk in and get zack out of there" I gulped man! This was going to be harder than i thought; Grandpa looked very interested though particularly when he mentioned Lilly could physically change her appearance that's cool.
"Chris, surely there could be another way, that sounds too risky, has Lilly perfected this gift?" Chris responded to grandpa. "That's the thing though she only discovered it a we
ago, she has been practicing a little bit but not dramatically, that would be the only thing that could jeopardise this whole thing, well i suppose what i'm suggesting is one option, has anybody else got any ideas? Alice what do you see? What is our plan?" Alice looked again. Then dad spoke.
"Is zack a hybrid?" Dad spoke in quite a cool, collected tone of voice Chris answered dad. "No, he is full vampire, but he's an animal drinker like me, he also didn't want to kill humans, why do you ask Edward?" Masen then gasped. "I think i know what dad means, if Zack is full vampire and he's an animal drinker then surely he doesn't need an escort, i think it only applies to the hybrids because Joham doesn't want to lose any more members of his children, if he hasn't bothered with Zack before then surely he wouldn't notice that he has gone, he will to be too worked up trying to form more members of his army and raising and without you there Chris he will be too occupied to notice that Zack is gone!" Wow sometimes Masen can be pretty smart i didn't think about that, so grandpa spoke..
"So what you saying Masen is that we lure Zack out of there?" Grandpa spoke in his professional tone, Masen just smiled. "What i mean is that if we buy a none traceable phone, we can use that to call Zack on his phone, Joham wouldn't even notice, if we mention who we are and that we know where Anna-Maria is he will defiantly come, If I'm correct Sofia mentioned that Joham's gift is knowing people's weaknesses and use that weakness against you, if I'm correct but Zack's weakness is Annie so he would come with no questions asked!" Everybody including Chris was stunned and Alice agreed that this will be the plan to get Zack out.
"Okay! Aunt Alice when do you see this happening?" Alice replied instantly "2 days tops" I nodded. "YEAH! I'm ready to kick some ass!" I rolled my eyes, Emmett loves a good fight. "Emmett, calm down there may not be a fight, so don't get to ahead of yourself" Emmett didn't care he was just in the zone.
"But remember we can't tell Annie! For the simple fact is that we know she'll have a moment of weakness and will try to look for him and may get herself killed, the least she knows the better! So what i would need you to do Alice is that on the day we go to get Zack, you take her on a LONG shopping trip with all of the girls, take them to a spa as well, just make it an all-day thing, she won't suspect anything then" Alice literally screamed in our ears we all through our hands against our ears.
"I've already got the day planned don't worry EJ Annie wont suspect a thing! Eeep! This is going to be so fun!" us boys rolled our eyes, thank god i am not a girl! Dad chuckled at my comment. Chris looked at his watch. "Guys, we should head back, everyone is going to be worried" we all nodded.
as soon as we got back everyone was waiting outside on the porch everyone was freaking out, Nessie ran straight to me and so did Lizzie with mase, momma ran to Dad. "Edward where the hell were you? I was getting worried." Dad chuckled and hugged momma tightly. "Don't worry love we wasn't far EJ was just telling us something, it's nothing to worry about,"
I smiled and mouthed him a thank you he nodded and smiled. "EJ everyone was getting worried, we thought something happened." Masen snorted behind us. "Yeah, something bad will happen to vampires and vampire hybrids! " I laughed at Masen's sarcastic comment; it's true though anybody who would try and hurt us would get killed. But as fun as this little reunion is, i was growing immensely tired, and right on cue all of the hybrids yawned, i was rubbing my eyes. Momma, Lilly and Esme chuckled. And right on cue Emmett spoke.
"Bed time for the hybrids!" which resulted in Masen showing Emmett's worst fear,! I know Mase told us, the big uncle Emmett was afraid of spiders, which again caused him to freak out like a girl! He was running around the yard screaming that they were everywhere, Rose rolled her eyes and ran after Emmett but it only caused everyone to laugh Mase thought he had tortured him enough and thought to raise his biggest hope which was for him to be superman! REALLY? Which resulted him climbing up trees and jumping out of them thinking he could fly, at this point me and Mase were on the floor laughing! I have never laughed so hard in my life.
"Mase that's enough now!" Mase laughed more. "Sorry Dad!" and finally mase stopped, when he stopped Emmett finally realised what he was doing. He was confused and asked why he was jumping out of the tree, everybody shrugged and didn't answer, but soon enough though, the cullens and the Williams hugged everyone and bid each other good night though the vamps won't be sleeping but i know the hybrids will! Plus i missed my Lee-Lee she's been exhausted lately doing more patrols than usual apparently the packs have come across 3 scents that have been circling the areas of la push and around this vicinity.
Which brought me back to earlier when i thought i saw someone looking in the bushes, hum? But Leah says she doesn't know. Leah is the beta in Jake's pack, so she's like second in command, originally it was Seth but Jake realised that he was too young to take a big responsibility and he realised that Embry and Quill are goofs to take a role like this seriously so he gave the job to Leah.
but that means herself and Jake have to do more patrols than Seth, Quill and Embry. But according to her and Jake they still don't know what it is and the scent takes them full circle like it's playing with them. As soon as i said my goodbyes' myself, Lizzie and Nessie, Momma and Dad had made our way back to our cottage, i gave both my parents a hug goodnight and my two sisters also, Mase wasn't here because he was staying at Sofie's for the night, as i was finally in my room i strolled towards my ensuite bathroom, i wanted a hot quick shower, after 20 minutes i felt refreshed and relaxed, i left my hair to dry naturally and got out some black sweats, i don't sleep with a top on, because well i'm a guy!.
i heard a faint buzz, i realised it was my phone, i reached into the pockets of my jeans and i looked to see i had 5 messages. 2 were off Leah, one was off matt, one was off Logan and one was off Duane. I looked at the time i realised it was 11.00pm so i would have to read these and quick i read the one off my best friend Matt.
Hey EJ,
You'll never guess what! After when you guys left, me and the guys were talking,
we felt bad for Mase so me, Theo, Sam, Anna, Logan, Brandon, Brody and Duane were thinking about whether or not we should hold our plans for the bowling, we didn't want to make things awkward but then Alyssa strolled up to us, with her slutty self she smiled and asked us all if we enjoyed the show, Sam had enough of Alyssa clearly and git right in her face and shouted.
''enjoyed the show? You've fucked up a perfect relationship between my friends you know what Alyssa, you think Masen wants you, but he doesn't if he wanted you so badly where is he? Wouldn't he be with you right now? But he's not, he's gone after Sofia because he loves her! So get it into that thick brain of yours that HE DOESNT LIKE YOU, HE NEVER LIKED YOU" dude i know i was more surprised! Alyssa was pissed though she didn't say anything but walked off, as we all said goodbye i went to drop off Brandon and Logan at their house, and i received a text from Theo that Alyssa tried to run them over with her car! She nearly got killed she only crashed into a lamppost but luckily nobody was hurt!
Dude that chick is fucked! See you at school Bud
Matt.
To say i was shocked was a massive understatement, is Alyssa insane? She tried to run over Sam and Theo! What the hell! I wanted to text matt back but i realised it was pretty late; i figured he would be asleep by now! So i read the second text which was from Logan.
EJ
How's mase? Man what a fucked up situation he was in today, that Alyssa chick is nuts, Brody as per usual said she was hot? Err shall i tell him that she's walking aids or shall i leave you to tell him?, i know he's my cousin but man! Help a brother out here haha!.
Oh yeah! She tried to run over Theo and Sam? :S there's just no words if i'm honest dude! Ha!
But what Brandon asked me today is if were still on for this bowling? I want to smash all of you at it! Anyway! Got a lot of homework to do, i'll see you at school tomorrow bud.
Logan
I couldn't help but laugh at that, Brody is just a ladies man through and through any girl showing a little flesh is hot. So he doesn't surprise me when a girl like Alyssa who hardly ever wears any clothes is ''attractive'' to him, i didn't reply i just carried on reading the text messages. I read the one off Duane
Hey EJ
How's Sofia and Masen?, Anna demanded i text you, aha! I hope they haven't split because of that pathetic excuse for a girl, trying her luck with a guy who was already taken, : (, Just tell Sofia that there is no competition between her and Alyssa, Sofia is way hotter than Alyssa by miles, ;) ... don't tell Anna and Masen i said that :-$ i value my life! Ha-ha!, way too much! But you got to admit she is hot! ;) fuck! I forgot you've already got a girl! Oh man i better shut up now! Anna's trying to read this! : |.
See you in school Bro!.
Duane
Oh man! Duane really does remind me of uncle Emmett not in that text just the way he is, his appearance definitely but just his mannerisms are just like Emmett, but secretly i got to admit Sofia is gorgeous when i first saw her she blew me away, never saw such beauty but then i realised that i liked Leah, to others you would think Leah as average but in my opinion i think she is really beautiful, her jet black short hair, just suits her perfectly, her dark brown eyes, that contrast with her beautiful, warm, russet skin, to me she's perfect.
The last two texts were from my girlfriend so i read the first one.
Hey EJ,
I'm just at Mom's and Charlie's house. Charlie is wondering when your next going to visit? He mentioned that the last time he saw you, Nessie, Lizzie and Mase was at the birthday party and he wants to see you all again!, shall i tell him you'll see him after school tomorrow? Forget it i will! And you better go! : ) or else!
Love you Leah xx
Yeah i don't see why i can't visit my grandpa Charlie i mean he's not getting any younger, so i think it would be good to visit him while we still can, or unless someone changes Charlie into a vampire but... i don't think that's even up for discussion!. As usual i didn't reply as Leah already said yes i was going to go.
EJ!
Me and the guys have found 3 new scents, i won't be able to come back to yours tonight, Jake mentioned that we have to take extra shifts : ( so i won't be back until very late, so i won't be able to see you for at least 2 days, as all of the rest of tonight i will be patrolling, then when i come back you'll be at school while I'll be asleep, then when the evening comes I'll be at a meeting with Sam's pack and doing more patrols : ( this is going to SUCK!
I'll miss you! Make sure that bitch Alyssa tries not to get any ideas! I'm serious!.
Love you Leah xx
as of now, I felt really sad, not seeing Leah for 2 days? That's alien to me; me and Leah have always been together, so being without her for two days is going to seem VERY long! Well i should say a day! But it still counts! Argh man! Leah is right this is going to suck really badly! But then again, i won't be in the same boat, Nessie and Lizzie won't be able to see Jake and Seth! So at least I'm not on my own! I've got a feeling were all going to be miserable. Lucky for Mase he's got Sofia!.
After i tried to get out of my mood, i realised it was now 11.25pm, and i was growing more and more tired so i put my phone on the side table, i grabbed Leah's cardigan's that she left here, i put it on, yeah this is the only piece of clothing that fits me!, and inhaled Leah's scent, soon enough when i tucked myself into my bed, i finally drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
