This story is going to be a Sims 3- series, you´ve got the link to it on my profile.
I have written a Twilight- one- shot, called "my second family" please read it and review.
I´ve decided to keep Edward´s gift, though I´m changing it a little.
We stood in Carlisle´s office, me, Carlisle and Esme, Carlisle had pointed out all the pictures on the big banner on the wall. He had just told me the last parts of it. I didn´t say anything at first, I looked to the part where the Volturi were painted.
"Carlisle?" I said at last.
"Yes?"
"What would happen if the Volturi found out about me? Would they kill me?... Kill you?"
"First of all, you and I would go to Italy. They´d wanna meet you, ask some questions, but don´t worry, Aro is a good friend of mine, and can be discussed with, I´m not letting him touch you. And due to that you found out for yourself, they can´t kill me, I haven´t done anything wrong, neither have you."
"But Aro doesn´t know that does he?"
"In fact, if Aro takes your hand, he can see every thought you´ve ever thought. Including finding out about vampires. Some of the world´s vampires have got gifts like that, Edward, Jasper, Bella, Emmett, and Nessie too."
"What do they have?"
"Edward´s similar to Aro´s though he can only see the words, or pictures your thinking at the moment, and his skin, needs to touch your skin for him to see it. Loads of vampires, have problems with human blood, even though we´re vegetarian… we only drink animal blood. Especially new- born have problem with that. Bella have always seemed to have an ability to control that will. Emmett´s strong, even stronger than most vampires, Nessie can show anyone a picture from her head, if she lay her hand on their cheek. Jasper can feel the feelings from everyone and anyone in the same room as him, he can also control them. If someone´s really stressed out, he can make them calmer, if someone needs to be more stressed out, then he can make them do that too." I nodded, then I looked to Esme.
"What´s your story?" Even though I looked to Esme, Carlisle was the first one to answer it. He laid his hand on my shoulder blade.
"Come on, we´ll go sit down in the living room." I shook Carlisle´s hand off, and walked after them down to the couches in the living room. I sat down in the corner, pulled my feet up as usual, as Carlisle began speaking.
"Esme was born in the late 1800:s and when she grew up, women, and even younger girls were expected to be and act in certain ways. Things like, wearing pants, climbing trees and such, were only for boys." Carlisle stopped talking, he looked to Esme, who continued the story.
"I found it quite hard to live up to the expectations. But there wasn´t much to do, my father was quite strict. One day, when my dad was at his work, I climbed up a tree in our garden. I was gonna climb down before he got home, but I forgot about time, and when I saw him coming up the street I tried getting down as fast as possible. I slipped and fell. I broke my leg, and when we went to the doctor´s it turned out our usual doctor was out of town." I smiled slightly when I understood where this was going. "Instead I got to see Dr. Cullen. I feel in love so deeply already at the first sight…"
"So did I…" Carlisle filled in.
"But I was sixteen, too young for him. So the years passed, and I tried forgetting about him, as I grew older, a few men, came to my dad about proposing to me. And when I didn´t wanna accept any of them at first, my dad chose for me. The man he chose was a man named Charles Evenson." When Esme spoke the name of Charles, Carlisle clenched his fists around the cloth of his jeans, then I heard a sound I never had heard before, a sound I maybe should hope never to hear again. From Carlisle´s chest, came a low growl, I had never heard a sound like that before, and at the same time, I couldn´t help but thinking what about Charles it was that made Carlisle so angry. Yes, he had maybe been married to Esme, but I didn´t think of that Carlisle would be the person… hrm, vampire that would be angry for that thing´s sake. Esme continued.
"I accepted, on the outside, Charles seemed like a nice man. But when we got married, and lived together, he turned out to be someone different, he abused me, I tried telling my parents about it, but they told me to be a good wife, and just go with it. It was a relief when he left for the first world war, and when he came back unhurt in 1919, it was a nightmare. Not long after that, I discovered I was pregnant, I used the baby as an excuse to run away from him, stayed at a friends´ and kept on running when he came after me." Esme made a pause in the talking, Carlisle layed his arm around her shoulders, and with the other hand, he took hers. Esme took a deep breath before continuing.
"I gave birth to the baby, a beautiful boy that I named David, David means beloved of God, and I loved David, just as if he had been my own flesh and blood, with a love, I never had felt before. Two days old, David died of a pneumonia. That sorrow, it was the worst I had ever felt, and it seemed infinite, that for, suicide seemed like the only way out of it. I jumped from a cliff, Carlisle found me, and he realized he couldn´t save me the… usual way."
"But I couldn´t let her go, already then, I loved Esme more than I ever thought I could love someone. I couldn´t let her go." Carlisle continued. "I changed her, Getting changed into a vampire, is a three days long, painful progress, and I wasn´t sure I had done the right thing. Though, when my love woke up, and I told her what she had become, she was more sure than I was, that I had done everything right, though Esme never lost… and never will lose, her motherly instincts." I didn´t look at either Carlisle or Esme, I looked to the floor, with my arms crossed over my chest, I fingered with the laces on one of my shoes.
"Jamie dear…" Esme began, but I took over before she could continue.
"I´m going out for a while." I stood up, turned around and half ran up the stairs, I pulled my jacket on after I had gotten out the door, walked down the road, after a while, I climbed up a tree, I didn´t care about how slippery the tree had gotten from the snow. And soon, I was maybe two meters over the ground, sitting on a wide branch, and leaning against the trunk.
Thoughts were spinning in my head, David, Jordan… climbing trees, falling, and breaking bones… Esme and Carlisle… Charles and my father, my mum and Esme´s parents. After a while, I shook the thoughts off me, climbed down the tree and walked back home, I walked downstairs, where Carlisle and Esme still sat, at the exact same spots where they sat when I walked outside. I leaned over the back over the sofa and looked at them both.
"I fell down a tree once," I said. "I broke my foot, I met Carlisle thanks to an accident, and I came back when I had lost hope about every other solution. A child died in my arms, a child I loved over everything else… someone abused me and the ones who knew didn´t care." I stopped talking. "Maybe we´re more alike than I knew." I looked to my watch, tried to save some time, when I realized it was almost midnight. "I´m going to bed, good night."
"Sweet dreams."
"Night." I stood up fully, walked over to the bathroom to make myself ready for bed, walked to my bedroom, changed into Emmett´s T- shirt. (the others had found out I normally slept in the same clothes as I´d done the day before, and the boys had threw me some of their old T- shirts to sleep on, of course my protests didn´t make sense) and pulled the covers up to my chin.
I crouched, hugged myself. I thought I´d be awake for a while, but as always, I fell asleep as soon as I´d closed my eyes.
So, I know this chap´s boring, but it needed to be done. And as well, I´m gonna like, "jump over" parts of times, that´s because until a matter of time, the story´s pretty much the same… the Cullen´s trying to gain trust, not succeeding, and Jamie pushing them away even more.
I don´t think I´ll have the time to write too much next week, because there´s a lot to do in school, but next Wednesday, my holidays starts, and then I´ve got ten weeks without school
