A/N:Sorry about the long update. I got a lot of stuff going on with my jobs and schools but all I could tell you was everything would be finished in this months or a few and I promise I will give you something you will remember in a long time. Just be patient with me and leave some comment and review okay? Thanx 3
Day goes on and Angelique training went well. One month has pass and she was starting to master her vampire strength who she kept untrained for too long. Maybe living with bunch of bad ass, killer vampires who would protect her no matter how much they object to it was the reason why she was kept locked up in the castle. That's the advantage of being the daughter one of the most powerful vampire in history and definitely something to be proud of.
As for today, Angelique was having her training with Bella and Edward. It seems that both of them just can't seem to be a part of each other. It was really sweet actually. Even so, they definitely give their best and make sure she got her ass kicked. Literally.
It was definitely the were sides of her that making her sweat because no matter how long they train, the vampires was completely dry and healthier than ever. "Can I take a rest?" Angelique gasped for breath. Her feet were starting to ache so she sat on the ground and breathe hard. Bella chuckled at her sight and offer her a bottle of water. Angelique took it and drank vigorously like she never had water for months. Bella too sat down next to her while Edward was leaning against a tree with his hand crossed and a grin plastered on his cheeks. Bella spoke, "You remind me of Renesmee. Do you know that?"
Angelique choked on her water and coughed. "M..me? I don't think that's possible" Angelique relaxed her chest and lean her head on a tree and said, "She is definitely much better than me. She's beautiful, smart, and strong with a whole family that would give their life to protect her." Edward sat in front of her in a flash and said, "Reminds me of someone I know." He grinned at Bella who giggled back. Angelique smiled.
"Well, you're lucky. The only one who I believe who treats me this way was my father, Marcus. The rest, not so much. They practically are planning to kill me if my father wasn't there." She gave a nervous laughed but Bella and Edward wasn't even smiling. Bella hug her from the side and said, "I would be lying if I said that I understand how you felt. It must've been horrible to leave there. God knows my first time went there wasn't so well either." Bella nod her eyebrow to Edward.
Angelique was surprised, "You've been to Volturi?" Bella nodded gleefully. Bella turned to Edward, "Want to tell them, love?" Edward chuckled and then, "It was also the thing that got to do with Bella turning into a vampire. I left her because I thought that being with me will only bring danger upon her but I was wrong." Bella laughed, "Hell, yeah you're wrong." Edward smiled, "Bella here was trying to get to me so she decided to do many dangerous 'thing' so that I will meet her again."
Angelique was curious, "What kind of dangerous thing exactly?" Bella cut in and said, "I tried cliff diving and it wasn't great." Angelique gasped, "What? So, is that how you become a vampire?" Bella shook her head, "No. Sure I hit my head and almost drown but Jacob saved me. You see, Alice did have a vision of me jumping but since Jacob was a werewolves, her vision was a little off and Edward thought I was dead." Angelique nodded
Edward continued, "And it was the worst feeling I ever had next to Renesmee birth day. I decided to end my life. I went to Volturi and asked to be sacrificed. "Angelique nodded and remembered a scene long ago where a vampire just lost his wife to a hunter. He then decided to end his life by standing in front of a group of human under the light of the sun where his true nature as a vampire was revealed. Finally, he faced the three leaders and his body was torn to many pieces. It was not a sight to be seen and Angelique regret of ever watching the whole ceremony when she was just a little girl but she remembered the man very well. There was no fear in his face but there was a sense of relief in him. It was like he knows that his suffering was finally going to end.
"What happen?" Angelique asked. Edward smiled, "I was waiting for the sunlight to bath on my skin but Bella was suddenly in my arms. She saved my life." Angelique can't help but smile too. Bella crawled to Edward and sat on his lap an Edward kiss her hair to her cheeks, "We were about to leave but Demetri and Felix got to us and that's when I finally met Aro. Since I was human and no living human is allowed to live after knowing the existence of vampires, I was given a choice. Death or turned into a vampire instead."
"And you chose the second option." Angelique spoke. Bella nodded. "I love Edward so much that I know a life without him is the same as dying. I would do anything for him and for my family. Aro agreed with me turning since he was intrigue with my gift but Caius not so much. He wants me dead." Angelique grinned, been there, never done that. "In the end, we got married, had a baby and here we are. A couple of vampire who just could not get tired of being in each other arms." Bella finished her words with a kiss on Edward lips and Edward wrapped his arms around her waist.
The scene was breath taking. Somehow, it reminds her of a dream she had back when she was a child. A golden hair woman with blue eyes kissing a man with light brown hair and green eyes in a snowy woods near a small cottage. It was hazy but every time she reminisces about that dream, it always brought tears in her eyes. The scene was so beautiful that she wanted more glimpse of it but every time she was getting closer to know who they were, she always heard someone whisper her name soothingly and she ended up awake.
They continue their training and Angelique was determined to show them what she got. She realised that these two was using their team work power to put her down. They said it was to train her to be ready and to be prepared when she is dealing with more than one opponent. Edward spoke to her when she was keeping her guard, "Use your instinct. Don't look. Feel. Just feel the air, ground and the pitter patter around you. Channel that inner vampire around you. You will listen clearly."
Angelique closed her eyes and starts to concentrate as hard as she could. She tried to call out the vampire in her to do exactly as he says but no matter how hard she try, she could never escaped the sneak attack from Edward and Bella. "You can do it, Angelique. Just try again." Easy for you to say. She was starting to get tired with every attack aim at her again and again. Anger stirs up her soul and her blue eyes starts to glow. She closed her eyes and tried to channel the new found sensation that's trying to emerge out of her. She didn't even realise that she was growling. She breathes in the fresh air of the woods and concentrates on the sound of nature around her.
Suddenly, she could hear the pitter patter of feet coming towards her with an unusual speed. She opened her eyes and quickly dodges the attack. In a blink of an eye, she grab Edward's neck where and slam his body to the ground. She was shaken and fuming with anger and she could feel her fangs starting to elongated. She was going to snap his neck but Bella was quick to push her to a tree and help Edward. Edward was coughing hard and there was a small crack around Edward's neck.
Angelique woke up from his feral state and fear overcomes her when she sees Edward was in pain trying to sit up. She said, "Oh my God! I'm so sorry Bella. I am so sorry I don't know what got into me. I.. I.." She was about to burst into tears when Paul was next to her. Paul held her shoulders, trying to calm her down. Edward on the other hand was chuckling nervously. He said, "You are incredible." Bella smiled and sighed.
"It's okay Angelique. Trust me, we've been worse." Bella help Edward on his feet and she walk up to Angelique. "You are one of a kind." Bella hug Angelique and whisper in her ear, "You are special and you must understand that or else it may be the end of you." Angelique gasped and when they broke the hug, Bella smiled at her, "I believe in you." Then, she walks away with Edward.
Angelique who was filled with relieved sighed and lean her body against a tree and sat down. When she looked up, Paul was looking down at her and what do you know, shirtless. Again. At least there was something that can keep a smile and relief in her face. In the other hands, Paul didn't look happy at all. He seems furious. Angelique sighed and asked, "What? Why you're looking at me like that?" Paul gave out a small growl and sat in front of her. "Do you realise what you put me through? What you put yourself through?" He was definitely furious. "What did I do?" Angelique asked. She was confused.
"You put yourself in danger. I hate it when I had to do my daily running and sense my mate in danger and in pain. It's like someone is tearing my soul to pieces, do you know that?" Angelique heart melts knowing that Paul care about her well-being. He was so worried about her yet she did not know that he would feel that way. "One more time you do that, I'm going to spank your ass so hard that you will have trouble sitting down. Even better, you won't be able to train with the Cullen at all." Angelique was blushing red and even though she wanted to be angry, she can't help but smile, "You will not lay a finger on my.. ugh , butt! And Paul, I'm sorry for making you worried. I'm fine. Really! Besides, I am part vampire too you know, so all the wound that I have will heal in no time."
She didn't realise her hand was stroking his cheeks lovingly but when she does, she quickly snatched her hand away. Paul still look worried but he smiled, "All right but that will never change the fact that I hate it when my mate is hurt." Angelique knows she was supposed to say something. Him thinking that there might be a future between them is just to cruel but hearing him saying that sounds so right so she decided to keep her lips sealed.
Paul spoke, "Are you free tonight?" He gave a slight grin to Angelique and she was curious, "Why? Another 'friendly' dinner?" Paul raised her eyebrow and smirk, "Us? 'Friendly dinner'? Hell no. Between you and me, it will always be a romantic dinner, sweetheart." Angelique blushed." And no. I was wondering if you could accompany me to a bonfire. My whole family will be there and it would be great having you there as my, ugh, companion."
Angelique wonders, "A bonfire? What's that?" Paul grinned, "You never been to a bonfire before?" Angelique nods her shoulder and says, "Well, I am living in a historical building so anything that has fire in it is not allowed near Volterra." Paul chuckled, "Okay, okay. A bonfire is where family and friends are together to enjoy a good night out with big logs of wood burn in the middle of the forest floor which is really safe to enjoy a warm night. Does that make you at ease?"
Angelique thinks for a while. Should I or should I not? It may be a bad idea since all of the must be werewolves but… It sounds so nice. Angelique asked, "I thought your family don't really like my kind. What if they don't accept me?" Paul grinned, "They will absolutely accept and love you as much as I do. Trust me." Angelique smiled listening to him. She think for a second and in the end, she said, "Sure, why not."
It was definitely a warm night and Angelique could see a huge bonfire right in the middle of the ground where everyone else was gathering around it. Paul and Jacob came with a truck where Jacob was riding the old thing with Renesmee sitting by his side while Paul and her were sitting next to the couple. Sure it was cramped but Jacob and Renesmee was having a great time while Paul can't stop grinning. Angelique was ecstatic but she made sure not to let him know.
When they arrived, all the packs greet them. Paul brought her to Jacob's backyard and it was a splendid sight. She was grateful with her supernatural hearings because she could hear the sounds at night and it was peaceful and harmony. Then, Paul brought her to seat on a log near the bonfire and she saw that everyone was having a great time. Sam Uley was wrapping his hands around his mate, Emily while Jacob's father was sitting on his wheel chair with a beautiful Indian woman by his side. Other than that, the rest of the pack was playing with Sam's son.
"Are you alright? The wolf thing doesn't bother you or anything?" Paul asked her, finally breaking the silence. Angelique smiled, "I'm fine. It feels great, you know?" Paul crooked his eyebrow and grinned, "Why? Tell me." Angelique closed her eyes and took a huge breath. When she sighed, she opens her eyes and smiled, looking at him, "I've never been to a place fill with family and friends looking so happy. All my life, I've only seen this kind of things in my father's eyes when he was with me. That, I know he is happy when I was in his present but others, not so much. I guess this place is just magical."
Paul was smiling. She looks so radiant under the moonlight and hearing how happy she was here was only the beginning because he was planning to give her more. She was wearing an off the shoulder floral blouse and a short jean that reached her thighs. He was very sure that it was contributed by Renesmee since Angelique usually wore a flowy dress or a fitted long pants and that's only when she was training. Her golden strand falls down her back and front in a wavy manner and it curls at the end. Even her blue eyes glowing like diamonds and it was obvious that the other shifter who was still unmated was attracted to her. She looks more 'alive' than a vampire and he never stops questioning who she really was. She was a beautiful mystery.
Suddenly, Billy, Jacob's dad spoke, "Everyone, gather around here. I have a story to tell you." Everyone sat with the boys running to Sam and Emily where they sat on their lap. Billy continues, "I just hear this story about a few months ago and yet to tell all of you." One of Sam's sons asked, "What story? Is it another wolf chief that slaughter evil vampires and save the pack once more?" Angelique coughed and Emily knocked his head making everyone laughed. Angelique smiled. She wasn't offended at all. It was funny.
Billy who just finished laughing said, "No, it's a much more romantic yet tragic story." The boys groaned and Billy smiled. "About twenty years ago, there was a great chief who was a shifter imprinted on a beautiful vampire. At first, he feared that his wolf might've made a mistake for he thinks that all vampires was evil. Yet, he was wrong. The vampire was not only beautiful outside but she was also beautiful in the inside even though she was from Volturi."
Angelique body when stiff. Somehow, the stories sound so familiar and Angelique chest was starting to ache. Jared asked, "What happen? Do they like, live happily ever after and stuff?" Billy smiled sadly, "Do you think the leaders would allow that?" Everyone facial expression change. Billy continued, "Well, they were happy at first even though both of their clans reject them so they decide to live together, far away from there. They were blessed with a beautiful baby girl and at first, everything seems fine. But, the Volturi decide that having a vampire of their own that betrays them who is still alive is not acceptable."
Angelique was starting to shiver on the inside and her heart aches so much that she closed her eyes while everyone was focusing on the story. Paul spoke, causes her to open her eyes, "What did they do?" Billy sighed, "Aro killed them. The whole army went to the couple's house and kill the chief after burning their whole house down. His mate however was able to run before the whole thing happen but before she could escape, she was caught and killed too."
Seth asked him, "What happen to their daughter?" Angelique spoke softly to Paul, her body started to shiver, "P..Paul? C..can we g..go now? I'm n..not fe..feeling good r..right now." Paul nodded and before they stood, Billy said, "That was a mystery. The baby was never found. Some thought that she was dead but I heard that she was saved but the question was by whom?" Angelique eyes were filled with tears. She quickly stood up and ran to the truck. She heard Renesmee and Paul called to her but she was too upset to even listen to them.
When she arrived to the truck, she lean her back on the door and fall down on her knees. Tears escape from her eyes and it falls down like a never ending river. Paul caught up to her and his chest fall watching his mate upset. He tried to console Angelique but her tears wouldn't stop so, he hugs her, holding her wee body to his broad chest, hoping that somehow her pain would end. He was confused. Somehow, Billy's story got to her and he started to think that maybe there was something that Angelique had kept a secret. It was definitely a big one because he could feel her pain and it was agonizing. He just has to find out what it is before the secret itself will eat her alive.
Hours past after the whole incident and Angelique was getting ready to bed. She wore her white night gown and sat on her bed, thinking about the story. If only they know that the baby girl was her and it was Marcus, her father who had saved her from Aro's wrath. She looks around to her surrounding and it was calm. Her room was painted white and there was a book shelf on the corner of the room with a black rectangular table situated next to it. Then, the huge glass window was bare to see in an out of her room since there was no curtain and from there, she could see a good view of the forest but it was better at light.
Then, she stare at the last quarter moon outside, wondering if the story in her books was true that were people tends to shift when it is full moon. She never felt the urge to do that when she was in Volterra so she just sighed and lay on the bed after pulling a blanket over her an hour passed and she didn't realise that the moon was turning into a full moon.
Her body was starting to sweat in a very unusual way and she scrunched her eyebrow as if she was in pain. She twist and turn her body, hoping to ease the pain away but it was too much that she opened her eyes and sat on the bed. She hugs her body and she could feel a sharp pain coming from her bones. She tried to massage her arms but her head aches badly that sound of moan started coming out of her.
It was like her bones was literally snapping and twisting and breaking even in a slightest movement. When she could not take it anymore, she stood up and starts to walk back and forth in the room with both of her hands on each side of her head. Tears roll down her cheeks and her moan was becoming louder every second. Suddenly, she felt her body drops without her doing it. Her sweat was almost soaking her dress and she felt an itch when the material brushes against her skin.
She quickly tore off her dress and undergarments until she was nude. She falls down on her knees and held both of her heads, groaning in pain. She heard the sound of Carlisle and Esme coming to her room but when her eyes was looking directly to the door, her blue eyes glowed and her fangs lengthen and the point was rather sharp. Angelique gave a long inhuman howl that was almost similar to a wolf before Carlisle was able to open the door. Angelique however was already outside near the backyard after she jumped out, hence breaking the window and ran into the jungle where she started to feel her body turning into something that she never would've expected.
