Howdy, I want to thank everyone who favored and followed this story. I hope you continue to enjoy it, I know Dru is all smug for the acknowledgment. Now, there isn't any Volturi action in this chapter..it is mainly a get a slight picture of Drusilla..and I think I was able to capture that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy.
Yay boring disclaimer time. I do not own anything that belongs to twilight, that includes the characters, and the plots of the original stories by Stephanie Meyer. However, I do own Drusilla and the main plot to this story. Thank you, and I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Drusilla Swan, Dru for short sat on her sister's window. She had returned from her band practice and was waiting and waiting for her sister, waiting to knock her sister into next week. Her eye throbbed, the redness from the initial hit was beginning to darken, and her vision slightly blurred due to the swelling; but all in all, it could have been worse. Her hand, however, was a much different story. Trying to use all the force in one swing, at a werewolf's face was probably not the best idea. Now her knuckles were pretty busted, and her wrist was a little puffy; part of her wondered if it was broken.
Wincing slightly, as she attempted to move it. 'If not broken, it's sprained.' Glaring at the injury. "Stupid werewolves." She muttered, looking up only when she heard the front door slam open. Edward's Volvo was in the driveway, and if she looked close enough she could see her father snatching something, or rather someone away from the vamp. Her eyes met his as he backed out of the driveway, narrowing her own into slits. She wasn't stupid the boy was gonna be back here, and probably gonna drag Bella to the Cullens..well that was fine. She didn't care whether her sister snuck out, however, she was gonna go with her. There after all was a smoking hot blonde chick, she was dying to see again.
The sound of Bella's door opening startled her, she smiled at her father; carrying a very sleep-deprived girl in his arms. "You are grounded." He was muttering to her, and she was responding slowly. "You don't have a social life, it is here and school."
"Okay," Bella muttered, her eyes barely fluttering as he spoke.
"Do I get to remind her when she wakes up?" Dru couldn't help but ask, the veins bulging from Charlie's neck told her to shut up. "Sorry, just trying to make light of the situation." She offered.
"Don't," Charlie replied, cutting his dark eyes to her.
Holding her good hand up in defeat she nodded. "My bad, but at least she is home...and she is safe."
"When you have children of your own, when you are much older," Charlie grumbled, pausing to glance back at his other daughter. "You will understand how much I truly worry, especially if you decide to follow in my footsteps and become a cop."
Nodding thoughtfully, "I know Dad." Dru whispered, "You have seen some pretty horrifying shit."
"Horrifying isn't even the word," He replied, he kept glancing between both of his kids. "I know you have your band now, so you may not follow me; but if you do. You will discover, the worst of what humanity has to offer."
Dru smiled softly, moving to offer her father a small hug. "Dad, you are exhausted." She noted as he hugged her back. "You go ahead and go to bed, I'll watch Bella. Knowing her she is probably gonna forget about the events of today," she paused to look at her sister fully. "I'll help her keep the nightmares are bay."
Letting out a deep breath, Dru figured her father didn't even realize he was holding. "Alright, when she wakes up, please let her know I wish to speak with her."
"Making sure she remembers?" Dru teased slightly but quickly went silent when he gave her another look. "I'm done, I promise."
Rolling his eyes, Charlie went to leave the room. "Don't stay up super late, I know it's the weekend, but you still need sleep."
"You got it, boss."
Charlie nodded once more before he left the room. Turning back to Bella slumbering in the bed, the other Swan sighed watching her sister. Looking at her sister's features, in Dru's mind Bella had been a perfect blend of Charlie and Renee. Turning to look at the mirror, her eyes met with her reflection. Bella and she were fraternal twins, and although they had a lot of similarities, such as their cheekbones, and their father's dark hair; naturally. Dru had started dying her hair unnatural colors for a while, and although she knew if she became a police officer then that would probably have to stop, that was future Dru's problem. The true difference, between Bella and Dru, however, was their eye color. Bella had unnaturally deep brown eyes, Dru had been blessed with Heterochromia, her right eye was the same brown as Bella's, and her left was an almost electric blue. Other than that, however, there wasn't any difference between the two; besides the one clear difference.
Bella wanted immortality, to live forever with Edward and the rest of the Cullens. Dru however did not, in the beginning, she had found it cool. Vampires, real, were here favorite in terms of creature features; but becoming one wasn't a fantasy. Noticing the subtle sadness that seemed the plague Cullens, and that was enough for her to realize that it was a curse. Looking back to Bella, she wondered briefly if her sister truly understood what all she was giving up. However, Dru was also not blind, and unlike her sister, she had paid a little more attention; when Edward had explained the Volturi. Their laws were simple enough, and she knew that more than likely she would have to be turned one day. One day she was probably a lot closer than she cared to admit.
Dru snapped out of her thoughts when a feeling came over her, one that was rather familiar. "I know, Telepathetic isn't about to crawl through my sister's window?" She hissed, turning to see the very Cullen she utterly despised at the moment, one foot already planted on the floor of her house, the other dangling outside.
"Drusilla," Edward greeted.
Narrowing her eyes carefully. "Edward, I may be mad at you, however, if you call me Drusilla one more time; I'm gonna end you."
Stepping fully into the bedroom, the Cullen boy nodded. "Dru," He corrected himself rather quickly. "Um, are you well?"
"My sister took off to Italy, to face Vampire royalty, to save your ass." Dru replied, pursing her lips, "What the hell do you think?"
"I did-"
"I don't want to hear it," Dru replied, speaking to him with the same tone she did when they spoke on the phone. "Just remember what I told you, hurt her again, and I will kill you."
Nodding, his gaze flickered over to Bella. "Is she alright?"
"For now," Dru replied, turning her attention back to her sister. "If you are about to sneak off with her, to your house, I am coming with you."
Gold cut to her, "I figured."
"Good," she replied. "I need the Daddy of the Cullen's to look at my hand anyway."
His eyes traveled down, before widening ever so slightly. "You tried to throw Jacob?"
"You were there when I squared up with James," she responded, "are you really that surprised?"
Smirking while shaking his head, "No, I suppose not."
Dru returned his smirk before they both let out a chuckle. "It would be a lie if I said I didn't miss having you around." She said after a minute, meeting his eye once again. "However, I don't think I can forgive you; not after what you did."
"I know," he nodded. "I'm not going to leave again, though."
Huffing a little, while rolling her eyes, "Yeah cause you know I'll find you. I have a sixth sense when it comes to you, Cullens." Looking back to the sleeping form, "You hurt her, you know." A tear formed in the corner of her blue eye, "she didn't move from that window for months."
Edward was silent, before he went to touch the girl's shoulder; before quickly deciding against it. "I know," he said.
Dru looked ready to say something else until a scream shot out of Bella. "This, this right here is also your fault." She snapped, while they both darted to her side, Dru being much slower.
"No! Please! No, no!" The terrified scream that escaped Bella, broke Dru's heart as if she was fighting someone.
Softly, she began shaking her sister. "Bella, Bella," calling her name softly; before the girl woke.
"Dru?" She asked when her brown eyes focused. "When did I get home?"
"Not that long ago," Dru replied. "Your boy toy is here as well."
Bella turned quickly, noting Edward. "No, I'm still dreaming." Tears began to fall from her face, "you're not here, Volterra didn't happen."
Not liking it, Dru stepped back to allow the two to rekindle. She may not like the boy, may even enjoy tormenting him; but she knew Bella needed him. "I'm here," turning away from the two, to not intrude. Watching the door carefully to make sure their dad didn't bust in, but that man was probably out like a light.
"If it's you, that means...that Dru-"
"Shh, hush," Edward whispered.
"That Dru, what?" Turning back to them, the girl did not enjoy secrets being kept from her.
Bella looked at her sister. "You threatened, the Volturi."
"Oh, that." Dru replied, "Wasn't a threat, that was an honest-to-God promise."
"You're insane!" Bella hissed, before looking back to Edward. "What happens now?"
0.o.0
Dru chuckled, as she walked into the Cullen house. Not bothering to wait for Edward and Bella to get out of the car, no she marched right through the door. "Honey, you're home." She giggled, at her stupid joke, right as the bunny slaughtering vampires made themselves known.
"Dru." Rosalie was the first one to greet her, a bright smile on the blonde's face. "Lilac hair?
Chuckling softly, with playful narrowed eyes. "Yes, lilac," meeting her friend's golden gaze. "It is, after all, the love of my life's favorite color."
The sound of bells filled the room as Rosalie laughed, moving to greet the human warmly. "I am so sorry." She whispered as the two embraced.
Dru smiled, even as a few stray tears began to fall. "Just never do it again." She whispered, embracing the blonde vampire. "I missed you, so much Rose."
"I didn't-"
"I know, it was a creepy mind-reader that made you all leave," Dru replied before the two stepped away from one another. Turning ever so slightly, she took note of all the Cullens smiling at her. Jasper more so in pain, than smiling. She offered a small wave to him, right as Emmett dashed behind her.
The giant teddy bear like Vampire, was quick to swing her up in a tight embrace. "I caught a wild one." He joked.
Normally Dru would have commented back, but her injured hand was currently being crushed; which distracted her greatly. "Um, Em..you big love bug...um can ya put me down please." She said through gritted teeth.
The Cullen quickly did, concern washing over his face. "I didn't hurt ya, did I?"
Offering a small smile, she turned and pecked his cheek. "No, Lovebug." Dru smiled, before turning to look at Carlisle. "I do however need, Daddy Cullen's medical attention."
"What did you do?" Jasper asked, causing her to look over at him.
"Why'd you automatically assume it was something I did?" Dru asked, covering where her heart was. "Have you no faith in me, Mr. Whitlock?"
"I was there when you tried to fight James." He replied, giving her a look. "So, what did you do?"
"More importantly, why do you have a black eye?" Esme added, looking at the girl with great concern.
Turning to the matriarch of the Cullens. "Well, Mama, you can thank Bella for the eye." She replied, which caused a growl from the blonde beside her. "It's okay, I shouldn't have grabbed her when she went to leave...but she will have a matching one."
"Alright, so you don't need Carlisle for your eye... then why do you need him?" Emmett asked Dru looked up at him for a moment, everyone could hear the slight grumbling that came from her. However, it was not actual words, more like sounds of annoyance.
"What was that?" Jasper asked, gaining a glare. "I am afraid, you are gonna have to speak up."
Huffing, she looked up to meet Carlisle's concerned eye on the balcony. "I punched a werewolf in the face, not my brightest moment." She finally said, before shrugging and holding up her injured hand.
"Holy..." Rosalie gasped, staring at the swollen hand. "Why didn't you go to a hospital?"
"Cause, Carlisle is the only doctor I trust," Dru replied before looking up. "What do you say, Daddy Cullen, is it broken?"
"Come on, you know where my office is," Carlisle answered after a moment.
Following him up the stairs, Dru only paused to hug Esme. "Missed ya, Mama," the woman smiled, while gently cupping the girl's face. Dru offered one more fleeting smile, before moving on to the Docs office.
Do ya think Carlisle...or excuse me Daddy Cullen is gonna lecture her? XD I did try to improve the grammar (downloaded Grammarly) Well anyway I thank you all for reading this chapter. I would love to see some reviews, give me some insight on how you all like this story. What do you think of Drusilla (Dru)? What are your theories on how she is gonna react? Is she too much of a Mary Sue, or is to too soon to tell?
