Chapter 3: He Wasn't Human Was He?
Ivy
It turned out that I just needed a few dozen stitches as some pain killers. After that we all went home, and me and my dad we officially ignoring each other. When we got back Daniel and I changed cloths and said we were going to the beach. That was a lie of course, we were actually going to Leah's.
Finally, we arrived at Leah's house. I stayed behind Daniel as he knocked on the door. She opened the door and looked at the two of us.
"Did you finally get a girlfriend Danni?" she asked smiling
"Damn, Leah! How can you not recognize her?"
"What do you mean?" she said losing her smile
"Leah, you do remember Ivy, right?" he asked
"Wait, you mean your sister?"
"Yes, I'm surprised you didn't recognize her." He said pushing me forward a little.
When Leah took another look at me she pulled me into a tight hug "I thought I would never see you again." she said as I hugged her back.
"Neither did I, but we didn't just come here to say hi." I said
"Then what did you come here for?" she asked a little disappointed
"We came to talk about the night I was kidnaped." I said
"Let's go to the beach, we'll see what I can answer there."

The beach wasn't too far from Leah's house so the walk was quick and quiet. We walked to a rock with a root by it and sat down.
"You know, this was where your parents first met. Your mom was stuck under that root over there."
"Really?" both Daniel and I said at the same time
"Yeah…if they had known how difficult their relationship would be, they might not have talked to each other."
"What do you mean by difficult?" I asked
"Your dad was in some trouble with his job. He was being targeted but your mom ended up with the damage. Both her lung and her stomach were punctured. He still does get into trouble now a days."
"Aunt Leah, the person who kidnapped me…he wasn't human was he." I asked cautiously
She froze, then she turned around to face me, "Why would you think that?" she asked trying to fake a smile.
"He ran from Colorado to Washington in less than an hour, he had natural red eyes, not contacts, he was freezing cold, and it was like he could smell me. Leah, what really happened?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to tell you," her eyes flicked to Daniel, "I have to talk to elders to see if your father can tell you. Ivy, you should have known a long time ago but your father was being an idiot, he still is, Daniel, you'll probably know soon."
"Wait, why will I know and why does Ivy have the right to?" Daniel asked.
"I need to talk to the elders, they will be able to make your father tell you guys if the time is right."
"Why the council?" I asked.
"Because he is sworn to follow two of the council member's orders, no matter what, unless it involves your mom." She said.
There was silence for a minute, then we started walking home.

When we got home we heard mom and dad talking in the kitchen. When they heard the door close they stopped. Daniel and I walked into the kitchen. Mom was making lunch when we walked in. when Daniel saw the food he ran to the bathroom. When I head throwing up I followed after him to see if he was alright. He was lying on the tile floor. I knelt by his head and felt his forehead, he was burning up. Dad ran to the door with mom.
"He's burning up, it look like the flu." I said
I saw my parents share a look, then dad came over and picked Daniel up.
"I'll be back in a little. I'm going to take Daniel to see Carlisle." He said. Then he ran out of the room.
"Hey mom, could show me where my room is?" I asked quietly
"Yeah, sure honey. Where did you sleep last night though?"
"Daniel let me sleep in his room after I ran upstairs."
"Oh, that was nice of him. Listen, your fathers just upset that you came without telling him anything. Don't worry about it."
"Why was it important that Sam was here?" I asked
"That's something you should find out from Se-I mean you'll find out in time."
"You were going to say Seth weren't you."
"How do you know that name?" she said shocked
"When I was in the hospital, I pretended to be asleep while Caroline was on the phone, I overheard her say that I scream that name out."
"I see, yes I was going to say his name, he's the one who should tell you but your father doesn't want that to happen."
"Why dose dad want to ruin my life! He was the one who chose to send me away. I know my kidnapper wasn't human. When Daniel and I talked to Leah her actions confirmed it. What is going on! I fell like there's some big secret going on that everyone knows but me."
"I thought you said you guys went to the beach." Mom said angrily
"We did, we went to talk to Leah afterwards."
"What did Leah talk to you about?"
"She said she was going to talk to the council to see if I could know."
"Crystal, I can't tell you, as much as I want to it's not my place."
"Why can't I know?"
"You will eventually, now please go to bed. You start school tomorrow."
"Fine, I said." I went up to my room and fell on my bed. I didn't bother to change I just fell asleep. Tomorrow I was starting high school.

When I woke up I went and took a shower. My make-up had been smeared all over my face and I hadn't taken a shower yesterday. I took off all my cloths and hopped into the shower. The water helped me wake up. I looked down at the scars on my chest, I had to be careful to cover them up. I put some shampoo in my hair and began to rub it in. as I was washing the bubbles out I began to sing one of my favorite songs. I sang
Look at me, and listen close
So I can tell you how I feel before I go.
Just a year, it's not much time.
For me to show you I am proud that you are mine.
I just hope you know, the future in my heart,
Was just about to start.
Say tomorrow, I can't follow you there,
Just close your eyes,
And sing for me.
I put some conditioner in my hair and let it sit for a moment. Then I washed it out slowly while I sang
Every lock,
On every door,
I put them there to try and hide you from the world.
And you kicked,
Yeah you screamed,
You never understood your everything to me.
I just hope you know,
The future in my heart, was just about to start.
Say tomorrow, I can't follow you there,
Just close your eyes
And sing for me.
I began to scrub myself with Dark Kiss shower gel.
No looking back when I am gone,
Follow your heart it's never wrong
Don't second guess to know you're on.
Out of time,
All out of fight,
You are the only thing in life that I got right…
Say tomorrow
I can't follow you there
Just close your eyes
And sing for me.
I sopped singing because I was all clean. I got out of the shower and dried myself off. I put on my pajamas and ran downstairs for breakfast.
My mom had cooked eggs and bacon. I ate a little then was about to go upstairs when my mom stopped me
"That's all you're going to eat?" she asked
"Yeah, I'm not that hungry." I ran upstairs to find some clothes to wear. I looked through my closet to find what I was looking for. I found a tight sleeveless black shirt and one of those half jacket things that tie. The half jacket thing a ma bob was black and sparkly and was short sleeved. It was tied low enough that you could see most of the top front of me shirt but it covered up enough as to be appropriate for school. I grabbed my black skinny jeans that a few holes and put them on. I decided to wear my black and dark grey DC shoes with black short socks. I then put on my silver bangle that had some clear and black gem stones. On my other wrist I put multiple chain bracelets that were silver, black, and white. I then put on my long chain necklace that was three different chain necklaces attached together. That again was silver, black, and white. I also put on my semi long locket which had nothing in it, a medium length necklace that had a tiny black bat, and a three chain choker that was black, grey, and silver. I put on a blackish purple lipstick, black mascara that tipped my eyelashes a dark purple, a faint magenta blush and I painted my nails a dark purple. I brushed my hair and took a portion and put it up with a clip so it bent over.
I went downstairs and my mom looked at me in approval.
"Well someone knows how to dress for their first day." She said
"Well I don't want to look like some person who tries to go to school naked, plus it's my first day and I have no idea when school started."
"The high school only started about two weeks ago, so don't worry too much."
"Is Daniel going to that school?" I asked
"Yes he is, so don't worry too much about creepy guys going up to you and hitting on you."
"Well that's comforting, so how long till we leave?" I asked
"We'll be leaving in about ten minutes, so make sure you have your binder, a backpack, a pencil, and a pen."
"OK, thanks mom."
I ran upstairs to my room and found all of my things. Then I went back downstairs so that my mom and I could head off. When we got to the school my mom took me to the office so I could get my schedule. We walked up to the front desk and my mom introduced me
"Why hello Ivy." Mrs. Green said
"Hi Mrs. Green." I said back. She handed me the schedule then she called over a girl who looked my age. She had black hair, brown eyes, and she was a little shorter than me.
"Why hello Alexa." My mom said.
"Hi, Mrs. Call." Alexa replied "Why did you call me over here Mrs. Green, I'm going to be late."
"Alexa, this is Ivy, Mrs. Call's daughter. It looks like you have the same exact classes so I was thinking you can show her around so she doesn't get lost."
"Oh, I'd be happy to." She turned towards me "I guess we're sort of cousins." She said
"How is that?" I asked a little worried.
"My dad's sort of you dads brother. His name Jared."
"Oh!" I said surprised I saw my mom whisper something in Alexa's ear. Then she nodded her head. She took my arm and dragged me down a hall. We arrived at the room and she hurried in. as I walked to the front of the class room with Alexa I let my hair fall in my face. I didn't like the feeling of people staring at me.
"Why are you late Ms. Cameron"
"Mrs. Green told me to help Ivy here get around. She's new here."
"Ok then, you can go to your seat, Ivy can you introduce yourself to the class and write your name on the board?"
I wrote my name on the board in my tiny thin curly script
Ivy Call
I head everybody gasp when I turned around and moved from the board so they could see my name.
"Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?" the teacher said
I looked up at the class "My name is Ivy Call, for some reason I was put up for adoption when I was little but my mom helped me come back. My mom is Crystal Call and my dad is Embry Call. I also have a brother I'm pretty sure you know, Daniel Call." I said
"And how old are you Ivy?"
"I just turned 14 a month ago."
"Ok then, you can go sit next to Alexa."
I went and sat next to Alexa, it was weird, everyone was staring at me in a weird way. I turned towards Alexa "Why is everyone still staring at me?" I whispered quietly
"It's because you're Daniel's sister. He's one of the most popular people in the entire school, and to be his sister. You're going to have to watch your back. Guys will want to get close to you because you're about to become really popular, and girls will want to get close to you so they can get close to Daniel.
"Oh."
