What happens after Krystal's friends learned about the supernatural before Krystal got taken?
Outtake 4 – Takes place during Chapter 17 of A Reason To Smile and Chapter 19 & 20 of The Other Half
Carly's POV
It all seem so unreal… actually more like unexpected. Here I am falling in love with Seth, all gangly built, huge with a happy grin that's so adorable and the next thing I know is that he transformed into a huge horse-size sandy colored wolf. What's more is that I've been told of his tribe's history and that he imprinted on me which is how they find their true love not that it matters because I love him. There's another thing; my best friend's boyfriend is a vampire as are the rest of his family. I know. I mean I knew they were hot but I didn't think vampires were the reason why. Crazy right? After spending our day at La Push, it was time for us to part. Krystal caught up to Danielle, Nathan and I before we said goodbye.
"I can't believe you're dating a vampire." I said to Krystal. How could she have kept all of this from us?
"I can't believe you never told us about all this." Danielle said. You're telling me, sister.
"I can't believe Nessie is actually Edward and Bella's daughter." Nathan said. "They're like seventeen years old for Christ sakes." That's even crazier. How could they have a kid at such young age?
"Actually, Edward is over a hundred years old and Bella's only twenty nine." Krystal said. WHAT! At those words, Nathan fainted to the ground. Why does he always do that whenever he freaks out?
"How are they that old?" I asked as Danielle and I lifted Nathan up as he woke up.
"They don't age physically since they live forever." Krystal said. Okay, that makes sense I guess.
"I still can't believe you never told any of this to us." I said. How could she not have told us about all of this?
"Do you think Lucas or any of the Cullens would just tell me their secret?" Krystal asked. "Would you really want people to know about the pack's true nature?"
"Hell no, I would never tell anyone about Embry's secret." Danielle said and realization hit her in the face. "Oh my gosh Krystal, I see what you mean." Krystal nodded her head. I guess it makes sense. If the Cullens had a reason for keeping their true nature a secret, then I'm sure Seth and the others must be the same with theirs.
"Well at least now we have one secret to keep between ourselves." I teased.
"I just hope my family doesn't freak out that I'm in love with an older woman." Nathan said causing us girls to laugh.
"Your sister married her husband and he's twenty years older than her." Danielle said. "What difference will it make of you?" She asked as we all laugh.
Krystal said goodbye to us as we got in Nathan's car and drove off. Well I'm glad things are back to normal. By that I mean reconnecting with our best friend. Yeah I need a better word for normal to vampires and werewolves. It was still in the afternoon at around four where we decided to stop at Starbucks. We are in the mood for some coffee.
"This is just unbelievable, literally." Nathan said as we sat down at a table outside after getting our orders.
"I know," I said. "And to think that everything is… normal."
"Well not normal now." Danielle said sipping her coffee and looked around to see that we are the only ones outside. "I can't believe vampires and werewolves actually exist."
"Yeah what else are out there, fairies and dragons?" Nathan asked.
"You know, I can understand the whole legends and the wolf imprinting thing which by the way I don't care because Seth is amazing!" I said.
"I could say the same thing about Embry." Danielle said and then sighed deeply with a dreamy expression.
"Yeah Leah's beautiful and I love her but it's gonna take me awhile to get use to the whole werewolf vampire thing." Nathan said taking a bite of his Danish as I sip my cappuccino.
"That's the thing though." I said. "Have you guys noticed that something… doesn't make sense?"
"If you're talking about how Leah and the others are good buddies with the vampire Cullens when they are supposed to be their natural enemies then yes, that part doesn't make sense at all." Nathan said.
"Now I understand that Embry and the others aren't really werewolves since they transformed without the full moon so we can also count out the silver bullets," Danielle said. "But what about the Cullens being vampires? I mean yes they have pale and cold skin, they don't eat or drink except blood (thank goodness they prefer animal over us), they don't age, they are extremely beautiful and from what Krystal told us, they have to be very fast and strong but how could they go out in the day? They should've been burned from the sunlight."
"Yeah so many things that are so confusing yet it's so crazy. I mean Nessie being Edward and Bella's daughter." Nathan said. "I like to know how a human girl and a vampire boy went down."
"I'm sure they'll tell us soon. Maybe Seth and the others will explain it." I said. We spent the next hours coming up with more questions about the tribes and the Cullens when I saw someone running down the streets until I recognized him.
"Is that Lucas?" I asked pointing out to him. Nathan and Danielle turned until they saw him. He seems to be searching for something.
"I wonder what's up with him." Nathan said. Lucas does seem frantic about something.
"Lucas." I called and he turned to see us.
"Everything okay man?" Nathan asked when Lucas came to us.
"Have you guys seen Krystal?" Lucas asked.
"No, we thought she was with you, why?" I asked in confusion.
"She's gone."
"What?!"
"How?" I asked. How could she be gone half an hour ago?
"It's a complicated story." Lucas said.
"We had a hard time understanding the whole vampires and werewolf thing." Danielle said. "Try and make it more complicated than that."
"Okay quick story; you know what happened to Krystal's father right?" We nodded our heads. "It turns out that he was killed by a vampire."
"What!"
"Who?" Danielle asked.
"We don't know who but we do know that he or she is after Krystal but we don't know why." Lucas explained. "Anyway, when we got home after seeing you guys, we were discussing about what we got on the update until suddenly a flash of light hit us and the next thing we know was that we woke up to the place being trashed and Krystal gone. The same thing happened to Leah, Seth, Embry, Quil and the other wolves that were just chasing after a vampire until it got away. You know I still don't understand about the waking up part since vampires don't sleep and such." Okay, I'll question about the vampires don't sleep thing later.
"Okay now that is complicated to understand." Danielle said. Yeah I mean one minute you were having a conversation and then next thing all of a sudden everything suddenly changes in a flash. Weird.
"Told ya." Lucas said.
"Are Leah and the others okay?" Nathan asked worriedly.
"They're fine but Seth is hurt pretty badly and Carlisle's taking care of him." Lucas said. What, oh no!
"I have to see him!" I cried. Seth needs me if he's hurt that badly. I would die if I were to lose him. Lucas gave us the address to his house and told us to be careful and that he'll catch up to us soon. We all got in Nathan's car and took off.
"Can't you drive any faster?" I asked Nathan where I am sitting in the passenger's seat.
"You think this isn't fast enough?" Nathan asked going over sixty. "Are we even going in the right direction?" He looked to see nothing but the road filled with trees. Where do Lucas and his family even live?
"Oh my gosh!" Danielle said behind us as she, Nathan and I had our mouths opened at the biggest house I've ever seen like three stories big.
"This is where they live?" I asked in complete dumbstruck. They can't be that rich could they.
"Did I take a wrong turn?" Nathan asked looking at the directions Lucas gave us and then back at the house.
"The addresses are the same," I said looking from the house and then back at the directions. "Maybe this is," I screamed when I turned back to my window only to see Edward standing right in front of it. Where did he come from? Oh wait, super speed, right.
"No, you guys are definitely at the right place." Edward said when we got out of the car and he led us to his house. My friends and I were completely speechless at the place. Exactly how much money do these people have on them? Edward soon led us to a room where we saw Bella, Nessie, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, a woman with caramel-colored hair who must be Mrs. Cullen and a young man with blonde hair looking like a model must be Dr. Cullen who was tending none other than my boyfriend. Yes I know it's too soon but I love him already!
"Seth!" I cried as I ran and flung my arms around him.
"Hey Carly and ouch, that hurts." Seth said as he hugged me back.
"Oops, sorry." I said letting him go.
"Not to worry," I turned when Dr. Cullen spoke. "His bones were fracture but I gave him some morphine so that I could rearrange his bones back to where they were. His wolf powers will take care of the rest but he's prohibited from phasing."
"Ah man!" Seth complained.
"I don't think we've introduced ourselves. I'm Carlisle and this is my wife Esme." Carlisle smiled to me, Danielle and Nathan as he introduced himself and his wife Esme. "I'm sure you already met our family."
"So," Emmett said with a grin flinging his arm around Nathan's shoulders. "You guys know about us as vampires huh?"
"Uh, I guess." Nathan said feeling nervous. Could you blame him? Emmet's like huge and intimidating if he wasn't smiling.
"You'll get use to it!" Emmett said thumping Nathan on the back a bit too hard causing Nathan to fall to the floor.
"Emmett!" Esme scolded as Rosalie smacked Emmett in the head.
"OW!" Emmett cried and rubbed his head.
"How did you end up like that?" Danielle asked Seth.
"I don't know. One minute we were chasing after that vampire and then bam, a flash of light hit us and she was gone." Seth said.
"Wait, where are Leah and the others?" Nathan asked.
"And where's Krystal?" I asked.
"They're still looking for her I believe." Nessie said. I just don't get how Krystal could just disappear like that.
"We don't understand about Krystal's disappearance ourselves." Edward said to me. Huh, it's like he could read my mind. "That's because I was reading your mind." He smirked. Wait what!
"No way, that's not possible." Danielle said.
"You guys are in a house full of vampires and a werewolf and you don't think that's impossible?" Jasper asked with a laugh.
"Then what am I thinking of right now?" Danielle asked Edward.
"Jasper, can you take care of her since she's so worried about Embry?" Edward chuckled as Danielle's eyes widened and then started looking calm all of a sudden.
"Hold on, why am I not so worried about what's happening to Embry?" Danielle asked.
"That would be my doing." Jasper said. "While Edward here can read minds, I can feel and control your emotions like I just did to Danielle."
"Do all of you have psychic powers or something?" Nathan asked.
"Yes, I have a shield that protects my mind from other psychic powers such as Edward's mind reading," Bella said. Lucky her. "Alice can see the future, Nessie can show you her thoughts by touch and Lucas can use his aura to protect him the same way my does but more advance and also see your guys' auras and shoot aura spheres." There are many questions to be asked.
"We'll answer them after we deal with this." Edward said. Okay that, I need to get use to.
A few minutes later, we heard the door open and Jacob came in with Leah, Embry and Lucas who looks like he's been crying.
"Oh my gosh, Embry!" Danielle cried as she threw her arms around him.
"Are you guys okay?" Nathan asked as he hugged Leah.
"We're fine." Leah said.
"Judging by your expressions you haven't found Krystal either." Jacob said. Everyone shook their heads.
"No. NOOOOOO!" Lucas turned around and punched the nearest wall causing a huge dent. Wow, they weren't kidding about their strengths.
Esme came to Lucas and pulled him away from the wall rubbing his arm. "Sweetheart, everything will be alright."
"How will everything be alright?" Lucas said. "For all we know Krystal could be..." No, she can't be, could she?
"No she's not dead." Alice said. "I would've seen that if she were."
"We will find her Lucas. We just need to rethink our sources." Carlisle said to Lucas.
"I still like to know how all of this happened." Jasper said with his arms folded.
"Yeah, how come none of us remember all of this?" Emmett asked getting irritated.
"And how could time just fly by so fast?" Rosalie said. What?
"Time didn't go by fast." I said. Everyone looked at me, Danielle and Nathan.
"Yeah it just went by its normal pace." Nathan said as Danielle nodded her head.
Everyone else was now even more confuse. They don't know what happened to them and where Krystal is and they got nothing. Now what? Just then, Edward left the room in super speed.
"Are you okay?" We heard him say. Carlisle followed Edward and next minute they came back carrying a guy with dark brown skin, black hair, eyes color of warm teak who looks like he's from an Indian tribe.
"Nahuel!" Nessie cried as Edward and Carlisle sat him down next to Seth.
He looks hurt with all the bruised and many cuts. Carlisle began treating Nahuel as he started to gain focus.
"What happened to you?" Nessie asked him.
"He's might have a couple of scars from all those cuts but he should be fine." Carlisle said.
Nahuel looked around at everyone and then at Lucas. "Are you Lucas?"
"Uh yeah." Lucas said in surprise.
"I know who took Krystal." Nahuel said.
"What, who?" Lucas asked.
"Jonathan." Edward said. He must have read Nahuel's mind.
"Who?" We all asked.
"He's my half brother and a hybrid like me." Nahuel explained. "I don't know him well since we've never met."
"The same one that we were after for weeks?" Jacob said. Nahuel and Edward nodded.
"How is he doing all this?" Rosalie asked.
"There is no way he was able to take Krystal by himself just like that." Esme said shaking her head. "Alice would've seen it coming and we would've stopped him easily."
"That's because he had an army coming at us." Edward said when he looked into Nahuel's mind again.
"Are you serious?!" Emmett asked. "You're saying we got our butts whooped by his army?!"
"How were they able to find her or us?" Bella explained.
"He had them use the girl's scent by passing her blouse around." Nahuel said.
"The one he took when he first came to her house." Edward said. Okay now I'm even more confused. What the hell are they even talking about? Good thing I wasn't the only one and it's not Nathan and Danielle I'm talking about.
"Hold on, can someone tell me what kind of army are we talking about here?" Lucas asked getting annoyed.
"Vampires, newborns." Carlisle explained. Newborn vampires?
"No way that a hybrid is able to lead an army of newborns." Jasper said. "They can never control themselves with Jonathan's blood so appealing to them in between either way."
"He must have someone else to lead the army while he stands behind and wait for the right moment to make his move." Carlisle said. "That's why Alice couldn't see him."
"He does." Nahuel said. "He met this girl a few weeks ago and she created the army."
"Who?" Nessie asked.
"A blonde girl, who dress like she's a movie star and acts like a diva." Nahuel said.
"Miley's involved in this?!" Lucas asked angrily as Nahuel nodded in confirm. Are you serious? Why doesn't this surprise me that Miley wouldn't miss a chance to get Krystal? I was wondering where she's been. I thought she got pregnant and quit school.
"She's also the one who killed Krystal's father." Edward said almost letting out grow. Okay there are no words to describe how much I really hate that girl. "And the reason why Alice visions was messed up because Miley has a gift planting false images into people's head like she's spreading gossip. That's why Alice didn't see Roark getting killed and why she didn't see the army coming."
"Okay, so we got beaten by that blonde bitch, that half brother hybrid of Nahuel's and an army of uncontrolled newborns? How could I not remember any of that?" Emmett asked running his hands through his head in frustration.
Edward looked at Nahuel again reading his mind. "You're kidding."
"What is it Edward?" Bella asked.
"Nahuel developed a new power." Edward explained.
"I can extract their memories by a strand of their hairs, absorb it and see their memories." Nahuel explained. "I was walking by when I overheard them. I was caught and had to fight off them and the newborns. During that, I caught Miley's hair on my shirt and I saw everything that happened."
"Show them." Edward said. Nahuel motioned Nessie to place her hand on his face. When Nessie did, she gasped. She then showed us the same way she did to Nahuel and that's when she came to me. Nessie reached over and placed her hand on my face and I saw images like I was watching a film.
Flashback
Few hours ago
Lucas's POV
"Okay that's it Emmett! You keep this up one more time, I'll send an aura sphere right in your face so strong –"
I was interrupted when a crash came from the window. We all turned to see a vampire standing where the window was shattered. He looked around until his eyes were on Krystal. Edward reacted and shoved the guy back forcefully when he made a jump to Krystal sending him to the window where it shattered as well. There was more break ins from all directions revealing to be more vampires and judging from their expressions they looked like they just became one. The intruders made their moves as my family and I fought them off. Jacob phased into his russet wolf form and joined the fight ripping off the army's heads. There were crashes and more windows shattered as we took out the vampires while protecting Krystal who they seem to be after.
Finally we took out the last vampire and it all stop. Everyone took a breath of relief when Jasper suddenly fell to the floor followed by Emmett who fell on top of Jasper. Before any of us could do anything, Carlisle fell along with Rosalie and Esme. Edward and Alice couldn't get a chance to see the attacker as they both fell. Nessie followed suit along with Bella and Jacob leaving me and Krystal the last ones standing. I looked around seeing no one but Krystal who I am holding her arm when suddenly something sharp and painful shot me from the back of my neck. Next thing I knew was that I fell to the floor hitting my head on the couch as I heard Krystal crying my name until there was no sound. I saw her trying escape from someone who held her wrist tightly but I couldn't see his face because everything turned black. The last thing I saw was when I tried to reach out my hand to her but failed.
Miley's POV
I reappeared as Jonathan, my bae, carried Krystal who is unconscious, over his shoulders.
"Clean up the mess and take care of the rest." He said.
"I'll meet you back baby." I said as he took off. "Clean up the mess." I ordered some of the vampires who didn't join the fight as they picked up the newborns and carried off.
Once it was just the Cullens and that mutt who are all still unconscious from the pain I shot at them, I then scanned everyone's mind for a while until I was done. I soon walked out of the house and ran with a smile on my face. By the time those people wake up, they won't even remember what happened.
End of flashback
Carly's POV
So Miley's a vampire now? She looks even uglier through my eyes on her new beauty. I really wanna vomit the way she talked to Jonathan.
"So Miley erased our memories after they took Krystal. That's her gift." Carlisle said. "That's why we thought time went by fast."
"It would also explain the disappearances from those newborns." Jasper said.
"Okay I get why Miley's doing this but I don't understand why Jonathan wants Krystal so badly." Lucas said. "What did she ever do to him? Were they once together or something?"
That is a good question. Krystal never met Jonathan in her life and she never dated anyone before Lucas came.
Nahuel looked at Edward who read his mind. Edward slowly turned to Lucas and said, "He doesn't just want Krystal. He's doing this to get to you." Lucas?
"But why? I don't even know him until now. What does he have against me?" Lucas asked. Okay now this doesn't make sense. I know it sounds selfish but if Jonathan is getting to Lucas, why drag Krystal into this. And what did Lucas even do to Jonathan if they never even met?
"Remember Olivia?" Edward asked.
"What about her?" Lucas asked.
Edward took a deep breath and answered, "Olivia was Jonathan's mate."
At that moment, Lucas froze where he stood. I looked at everyone in confusion asking what's going on.
"Olivia was a member of this group of royalty vampires called the Volturi." Carlisle explained to me, Nathan and Danielle. "They are the ones that make the laws of our world."
"They may be the foundation of our peace and civilization but they are nothing but a pain in the ass." Emmett said.
"They have a thing against us since our diet is different from theirs and we all have unique gifts especially Nessie since she is a gifted half-human half-vampire." Bella said.
"They kidnapped Nessie and tried to kill us undetected but thanks to Lucas's gift, we survived and soon know that the Volturi were responsible for it and we confronted them to give Nessie back." Esme said.
"Only Olivia used her gift to hypnotize people to do as she commands and made Nessie looked like she wanted to be a part of their coven." Jasper said.
"Thanks to Lucas however, he sent an aura sphere at Olivia causing her to lose her focus and Nessie was free from her control only Olivia was sent to the wall flying and a torch fell on her and was gone. That's how vampires must be killed; we have to rip them apart and burn them." Carlisle said.
Of course, because Lucas accidently killed Olivia, Jonathan wants revenge on Lucas by getting Krystal out of the picture so that Lucas will suffer the way Jonathan has and with Miley by his side, it's a win-win for the both of them.
I saw Lucas shaking with anger and Jasper had a face of concentration on Lucas with a struggle.
"Where are they?" Lucas asked gritting his teeth as he was trying to control the shaking in his body as his hands fisted.
"Somewhere in Seattle but I don't know their location." Nahuel said. Lucas turned around and was about to head out when Emmett grabbed his arm stopping him.
"Lucas, you can't just go out there." He said.
"Let me go, I have to save her!" Lucas said trying to yank his arm out of Emmett's grip.
"Now hold on a second man," Jacob said coming in front of Lucas.
"Hold on for what? We know where she is." Lucas said.
"Lucas, think about it. There's a hybrid who we don't know about that has a grudge against you, a tamed newborn with some dangerous powers she's possess and an army of newborns that are probably still out there." Jasper explained. "They might be expecting us and we need to think of a plan."
"By the time we do that she'll be dead!" Lucas shouted. "We have to save her now!"
"He's right." We all looked at Edward. "We have to move now. We can think of a plan when we get to Seattle."
"We're coming with you." Danielle said.
"No way, Danielle!" Embry said. Are you kidding me?
"Dude, Krystal's our friend and we want to help find her." Nathan said.
"No, there's an army of newborns who will go frenzy for your blood and kill you." Carlisle said. Okay, he brings up a good point. "You three will stay with Leah and Embry and watch Seth and Nahuel while the rest of us save Krystal." My friends and I nodded in agreement as Lucas, his family and Jacob left the house in a flash.
Krystal, I hope she's okay.
More outtakes coming up. Please review.
