Chapter Text
BREE
I didn’t want to die. I watched silently as my coven was being killed off by the 'yellow eyes' and those giant wolves. I kept thinking if I don't attack they won't kill me. I hope. On instinct, I try to make a run for it.
Suddenly I was ambushed by two vampires. I quickly backed away against the tree. My eyes widen in fear and terror.
"Please don't kill me," I beg.
The two vampires exchanges glances at each other. It was the blonde who spoke.
"We won't kill you," He said. "However if you don't control yourself we won't have a choice but to destroy you."
"Carlisle what are you doing?!" snarls another blonde vampire. He gave me a deadly look. "She's a newborn."
"She doesn't want to hurt us, Jasper." said the brunette vampire.
"Esme, she could turn on us."
"I w-w-won't." I stammer. "Please I don't want to hurt anyone. I just wanna go find my friend."
Jasper scoffs.
"The Volturi will be here soon. Maybe if we explain that Bree didn't attack and doesn't know the rules-"
"Carlisle you know that they won't listen," said Jasper. "she'll be killed."
"We must hurry. Alice said the Volturi will be here any second." With that both of them took off, leaving me and Jasper.
"I can make copies of myself." I babbled. "Please I won't let kill anyone."
Jasper stares at me. "Show me." He demands.
I took a deep breath and clear my mind to concentrate. I felt myself getting a bit weak but I ignore it. I open my eyes and saw another me standing there. Her expression was blank. I moved my hand which made her move hers.
"Amazing." whispers Jasper, looking at me. "Go hide in the bushes over there and don't come out or else."
I did as he told me.
I watched as my clone was being tortured. What surprised me the most was that the vampires with ruby red eyes like mines didn’t seem to detect me hiding in the bushes. I flinched as I heard my copy let out a blood curling scream. I didn’t understand how she was in pain but I figure out it came from the female named Jane who looks younger but yet older.
"Why did you come?" she demanded. "Who created you?"
"Riley told us that we had to destroy the strange yellow-eyes here," I whispered which the other Bree said too. "He said it would be easy. He said that the city was theirs, and they were coming to get us. He said once they were gone, all the blood would be ours. He gave us her scent."
I lifted my hand and pointed towards the human, whose blood was making my throat burn. Jane looks at the human.
"Her?" Jane asks.
"He said we would know that we had the right coven, because she would be with them. He said whoever got her first would have her."
"It looks like Riley was wrong about the easy part," Jane noted. I nodded which made fake Bree too.
She pointed at Carlisle. "That one said that they wouldn't hurt me if I stopped fighting. But I didn't fight at all."
"But it wasn't his choosing, young one," Jane said in a gentle tone. "Broken rules demand a consequence."
The Bree Jane was speaking to didn't understand but I did. Jasper was right. They wanted to kill me.
Jane looked at the second Bree and to this huge vampire who looks like he's on the roids. "Felix?"
"Wait," cries Esme. "We can explained the rules to Bree. She looks willingly to learn them. She didn't know what she was doing."
"Of course we would take Bree into our coven,"
I was surprised to hear that they would welcome me, a complete stranger, into their family. After all, I was created to destroy them. That was my sole purpose of my existence now.
"We don't make exceptions," She said. "And we don't give second chances. It's bad for our reputation." She shifted her eyes to the human. "Caius would be so please to hear that you're still human, Bella." So that's her name.
"The date is set," The pixie one told Jane. "Perhaps we'll come to visit you in a few months."
Jane's smile faded. "It was nice to see you Carlisle. Well, until we meet again..."
He nodded, with pain on his face. I would be happy to be in his family.
"Take care of that, Felix," Jane said, nodding toward the fake me. "I want to go home."
"Don't watch," A bronze hair vampire whispers.
Felix, the large vampire of the Volturi stalks his way towards the second me as the yellow eyes step away from his path.
I couldn't bear to look. It was a deep, rumbling sound with a high pitched keen. I heard a sickening crunching and snapping. As I slowly opened my eyes, gray smokes with floating into the sky. The police vampires had disappeared into the forest.
"They're gone," Bella said.
"You can come out now," Jasper said.
I slowly walked out of the bushes to revealed myself. With the exception of Jasper and the bronze hair vampire, they stared at me shocked and confused.
"We just saw her die," Bella said. "How is-"
"Jasper, you kept her hidden?" Carlisle asked.
"She can make physical copies of herself," Jasper explained. "I though we should try it on the Volturi to see if they were to fall for it."
"And they did." said the bronze hair vampire. "And my name is Edward, not bronze hair vampire."
I looked at him questionably.
"He's a mind reader." said Carlisle. "A few of us have special gifts."
"It wasn't fair how they would just kill me like that. I didn't do anything wrong," I said with pure anger."I didn't go out and attack anyone."
Edward signs. "Yes the Volturi can be...unfair."
It's been a month since I was allow to stay with the Cullen family. They were completely different compared to what I saw of vampires in Seattle. They acted so civilized and human. It was strange because I'm used to vampire fighting each other every second they get.They explained to me that I have to feed on animal blood for now if I was to remain in their family. The older one, Carlisle said that my eyes will turn golden within a few months if I manage to maintain the 'vegetarian' diet.
Overall, most of them treated me like family. But I didn't really return the affection because I was afraid to trust them.
I never though that I would truly be alive after that day. It seemed like a bad dream that I wanted to wake up from but couldn't find a way. But Diego being dead was no dream. The thing was that I really wanted to die, but somehow there was this voice in my head that told me to stay alive.
And I wonder why?
Today, my adoptive brothers, Emmett and Edward, took my out on my first hunt. Before this I was kept in the house under constant surveillance by Jasper. As I was told by Edward, Jasper was 'studying' me because I was a newborn. He dealt with newborn armies during his first few years as a vampire.
But the fun thing about this hunting trip is that I was still strong, even stronger than Emmett. I took off running because I wanted the freedom of being able to be out. The wind blew my hair out behind me. The air felt warm. Everything was so blurry when I ran, this was way too unrealistic. Like the tree branches that hit my skin felt like weightless feathers where to a human it was sharp like thorns and hit the skin like swift hitting whips.
Hell, this was more like flying than running.
"Bree," Edward calls out dryly. "Do you want to make it to Canada?"
"Sorry," I said. "I haven't been outside in so long..."
"You're such a show off." said Emmett.
I narrow my eyes at him. Then I focus my attention to Edward. "So what are we hunting?"
"Elk," He said. "I though it would be more easy..."
I groaned but I wasn't going to fight with him because I was way too hungry to give a shit. I smell this huge deer, going off to the Northwest. So I ran in that direction, ignoring the calls of Edward and Emmett. I smelt them following me. And then I saw it. This alpha male drinking from the river along with a herd of deer.
All I wanted was the big one. I could even hear the large heart, thumping hard as it was pumping blood into its veins.
"Bree, wait."
I could focus on was that huge deer. I stalked the deer very quietly, watching how its muscles moved from the inside of its think skin. And before I could make my move, I heard a deep growling sound. I watched in anger as the deer took off, alerted by the sound. Then came footsteps coming from behind me. I snapped my head over my shoulder to who was the very unlucky predator that was about to become the prey.
It was a wolf. He had a cinnamon mixed with an earthy smell. His fur was a sandy brown color. I remembered that he must be one of the wolves that fought with the Cullens. They explained about the treaty and how the can't come across their land. Then I panic. I must have crossed borders. I stare at the large wolf before me, expecting him to rip me into sheds along with his pack.
But instead he stares at me. His beautiful large brown eyes were wide like he was lost from his mom and just found her.
"Who are you?" I whispered.
Seth. I didn't hear it from his mouth, but in my head. I step closer towards him, my hand reaching out to touch his fur. I didn't know why but it felt l had to. He instantly moves closer and I quickly move backwards, surprised by his eagerness. He whines at me.
"Sorry." I whisper very low but somehow he knows what I am saying because of his high ears. "I not the one for socialism or whatever." I shrugged.
The sandy wolf leans his massive head towards my hands and now I'm stroking his soft fur. I smile and he nuzzles my neck with his nose in approval. I giggled.
"Hey," I said.
He stops and runs behind a tree. I tilt my head to side curiously. 'What is he doing?'
"Okay," a male voice said. "My name is Seth. One of the wolves as you can see."
"Oh, er, why don't you come out?" I asks.
Seth took a deep breath. "When we phase into wolves, our clothes are destroyed into pieces. So when we phase back, we are naked as the they we are born."
I blushed hard. Naked teenage wolf boy is something Edward doesn't need to see in my mind. Although Edward needs to ease up on all the mental peaking. Very annoying.
"You want me to go back and get clothes?" I asks.
"No!" he yells. "Er, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell." He signs deeply. "Listen I gotta go anyways before Sam rips my head off." I heard rubbling before I saw a blurry sandy figure running off.
I was wandering how does Seth look as a human before Edward and Emmett interrupted my thoughts
"C'mon pervert!" calls Emmett.
"Leave her alone." said Edward, looking at me. "Bree, you were very lucky. I told you to stop."
"He didn't hurt me." I said defensively.
"I know. That wolf you just saw was Seth Clearwater." explains Edward, looking up to where Seth had ran off to with a confused expression on his face.
