The Volturi Are Coming For Me

Going Back To Highschool

 When I woke up I was in a bed with a warm comforter on top of me. I know there was a legend that vampires don't sleep but we need sleep just as much as humans do. Technically we can function on not sleeping but it is not ideal because we slowly go insane. We do hunt at night but our beds are still used for sleeping. I slowly walked down stairs to find everyone but Jared which made an uneasiness settle in my stomach. I wanted to see Jared again and I didn't know why, somehow he was my safety net in the midst of chaos but these feeling are things I have never felt before not even for Alec. No matter what happens in my future he had to be apart of it, every time I looked him in the eyes all I could see was home. Now that I think about it he was the only one I trusted. As I reached the bottom of the stairs I was greeted with many pairs of eyes but non were the eyes that I wanted to see. They all looked at me and Isabella jumped up in excitement saying that I was going to high school. That thought made me start to worry about my diet.

"What if I get really hungry and eat someone?" I said in a worried voice. Then I heard the voice I wanted to hear again.

"That won't happen because you will be with me the whole time" Jared said with a smile. I almost ran and hugged him but then my mind told me not to because he might think I'm weird. I just turned around and smiled at him. He smiled back a crooked smile that made my heart melt.

"Go run upstairs and get ready for your first day of school, this will be yours and Jared's first day at this school because he went to the one on the reserve but we thought you might like the help restraining yourself for a while." said Esme. She was like a mother character to everyone but Carlisle. Carlisle was like the knowledge person or the father character. I ran up the stairs with a smile. The outfit I put on was a long sleeved blue shirt that brought out my contacts hiding the red in my eyes and pair of dark tight jeans with holes all over them. I put on a little makeup and looked in the mirror. Once satisfied with what I looked like I walked down stairs to see my new family.

"I dibs Grace, because she likes me more" said Jared with a silly grin.

"Let Grace decide, you can't just dibs her, she is not a thing, she is a person. Don't you learn anything at school" Esme said sarcastically.

"Who do you want to go with to school then Grace" sighed Jared without looking at me on the staircase. It was like he always knew when I was around him even though he had not heard me walk down the stairs or say a single world. 

I laughed "I want to go with Jared" Unlocking his car he ran to my side to open my door to his car. Smiles on his face were a more common thing now that I had actually spent more time with him the more he became a familiar presence. We drove off to school in silence with the music playing.

Once we got parked I got out and looked around. All eyes were on me, which made me feel like there was something on my face. I secretly felt my face to make sure there wasn't anything on my face.

"There is nothing on your face if that is what you're wondering. They are just staring at you because you are the new girl and they don't get many new people at this school." Jared said which made me smile. He was making me like him even more and it was so easy to be comfortable around him.

The school day went very fast and I couldn't believe how many friends I made. Most of them were humans but then again they think I am a human too. Jared was super kind and he also was great at making friends. I wonder if the Volturi are looking for me. Was Alec looking for me or did they really not care that one of their own left them out of the blue with no explanation.

The morning was great. I got a few more stares but after a while it was too easy to get used to them and I had a gym that I was great at. I loved sports and anything athletic. My blood lust never came when I was around so many people but I think it was because I was more focused on fitting in and making friends more than eating the people around me. Honestly I felt like I was thriving living in a high school before my life turned upside down. 

Back at the Cullen's house I soon realized there was a little girl growing up fast. Almost too fast for humanly possible. I kept an eye on her everyday. I learned that her name was Renesmee and that she was a half vampire half human being. When the vampires when hunting she would always babysit and sometimes Jared and Toby would come to help. I became best friends with almost every vampire, werewolf, or human that lived in Forks only because everyone seemed to like everything. Although Forks was a small town everyone knew everyone. It was a lot different from Rome and the Volturi. 

One day when we were celebrating a holiday called Halloween Jane dropped a bowl of candy and I looked at her a little skeptical because she had never done that before. She looked mortified and the words I didn't know I was dreading came out. The Volturi were coming because someone had excused Renesmee of being a vampire child. A chill went down my spine and a feeling of dread washed over me,  I ran out of the room and stopped by the river and started to talk to myself.

"Why did they have to come when I was finally happy. What if they realize I'm here and they want to take me back again. I had a super power that made people see there worst nightmares. They thought it was very valuable, I am starting to get Jared to like me. Why after something good happens in my life for the first time in over 200 years it has to be taken away from me"

And they wanted any vampire with powers. They had been doing this for hundreds of years. Finding a small coven and making up a crime so that they could take the lives of them but leave the powerful ones to join their coven slowly taking away threats and gaining power at the same time. 

"What do you mean Volturi wants to take you back?" Jared whispered. I whirled around and looked him straight in the eyes knowing there was no way out told him my story. The whole story from when Alec saved me to now. I explained the trip to Rome walking up hungry and confused the next morning, gaining feelings for Alec because he saved me when I was younger, the bond of a sister I felt with Jane. All of the corruption and pain I inflicted onto people because I was told to and the night I ran away. Up to the moment I laid eyes on him leaving out the pull I felt to him. I couldn't look at him at the end of it. He came close and I got scared that he would hurt me just like every other man I let get close to me, but he wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear "they will never get you back no matter how hard they try. I won't let them"

Those words had a way of calming me down and I did something I thought I would never do. I kissed him and he kissed me back.
