Immortal love (Caius)

Caught up in a Dream

The first week of school passed it was finally Friday and it was looking like it would be the same as any other high school experience the Cullen siblings experienced. At first, people swarmed me asking if I was new, where I came from if I wanted to hang out with them after school. That was until they saw who I was actually with, then they only talked to me when they had to, or only if they knew my siblings were nowhere to be seen. 

It honestly didn't bother me that I couldn't make friends, what bothered me was how they treated my family, nobody ever really gave them a chance before they assumed my siblings were freaks. Around lunch I went to find my siblings so I could sit with them, I found them sitting in the far corner of the cafeteria and I sat down with a huff. "What's wrong with you little miss sunshine?" Edward asks with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and answered "Don't look so smug, nothing is wrong. I'm just annoyed at how people treat you guys. You know half of the time when I say you guys are my brothers and sisters people think I'm joking and they say something like 'no way you are related to those freaks' and well duh I'm not actually related we are adopted but I mean how rude is that shit. No way I would even want to be their friends anyway, you know I thought as time would pass people would be more accepting of those who are a little different." 

I stop and catch my breath after my word vomit. I look up and all my siblings at the brink of laughter. "I'm sensing some frustration," Jasper says from across the table trying not to laugh. "Yeah, it doesn't really take a mood reader to know that Jas" Alice adds. I sigh and put my head down on the table. "You don't have to worry about us Sol, it's probably for the best people don't go out of their way to befriend us, I'm sure if anyone hung out with us long enough they would notice something off... more than they already do," Rosalie said while rubbing my back. Then I sat up and gave her a small smile. "Yeah leave the doom and gloom to me sister, it doesn't suit you" Edward adds while nudging me in the ribs with his elbow. 

I let out a small laugh before speaking "So guys what should we do this weekend? Maybe we could all go to Port Angeles and watch a movie together?" Then Emmet spoke "No can do little big sis, we have to catch a bite this weekend," he said winking at me. That meant I would be home alone all weekend while they went hunting. "Ughh great timing. And Emmet you don't have to call me 'little big sis' imagine having to explain that to someone" I said before putting my head back down on the table. "Don't pout Sol we will be back before you know it" Rosalie added. I rode home with Rose and Alice and spent the ride trying to figure out what to do this weekend while my family went hunting. When I walked in the door to the house I yelled I was going to my room then Esme stopped me. "Hold on Sol come to the kitchen first." I made my way to the kitchen "Hi Emse" I said with a smile. "Hi dear, I just wanted to show you that I made some food for you to eat this weekend, just pop it in the microwave, and it's good to go" I smile and gave her a big hug. "You're an angel Emse," I said as I ran up the stairs to my room. 

A few hours later my family said goodbye and that they should be back by noon on Sunday. Now I was left alone with my thoughts. I decided to spend the rest of my afternoon in the forest, it was a peaceful place for me. My elemental magic always feels so strong when I'm in nature, so I let it flow out of me. I close my eyes and feel the magic surge from my hands, when I open my eyes again I'm surrounded by beautiful flowers and vines. I spend so much time containing my power and trying to keep it in check, moments when I can just let it flow from me and feel euphoric.

 Night falls and I finally decided to come back inside to try to sleep, but for some reason, I felt uneasy. I got up from my bed and stared into the darkness from the window in my room, there was an ominous feeling, almost as if someone was watching me. I didn't want to overreact but just to be safe I threw up some protection sigils and a defensive barrier around the house just until my family got home. Although I knew I was invincible my gut told me it was the right move. I laid back in my bed and stared at the ceiling before drifting into sleep. 

I woke up in an unfamiliar room, it was large and luxurious, the marble floor felt cold on my feet, and the walls were a deep green almost black. As I keep walking there is a king-sized bed with black silk draped on it, I run my hands across it and feel a small spark of electricity in my fingertips, there is an intoxicating smell that lingers in the room it's vanilla, cedar, maybe eucalyptus and a hint of orange. I keep walking and come to a door, I open it and there is an office with a large mahogany desk. "Where am I?" I think to myself. Then I hear his voice "who are you? I know you, I know that smell" suddenly there's a hand in my hair and the air behind me suddenly gets heavy and hot. The voice speaks again this time hushed and in my ear "Lavender and coconut, it's you. I knew there was someone watching us." My heart picked up, it was him the beautiful mystery man. I knew it the moment he spoke. His smell was so much stronger now that he was right behind me, it burned my nostrils in a pleasurable way, and I wanted more. I quickly turned around and looked up to see his blood-red eyes gazing down at me. His hand grazed my cheek and then lingered down my arm to my waist. Everywhere he touched burned like fire even though he was ice cold. Then I finally speak to him "Is this real?" He looks at me like he is also confused and he answers "I don't know" The air between us is heavy and dark, there's a ferocious hunger that rises. Everything in me wants him closer, his touch is addicting. I rake my eyes from his eyes to his feet, trying to capture his beauty, almost like instinct I bring my hand to his bare chest where his shirt is unbuttoned and I feel the electricity in my fingers again. He sucks in a breath and whispers "Why can I feel you?" We looked into each other's eyes for a moment our lips so close that I can feel a buzz of electricity trying to spark between them. Then my head snaps out of it, and I start to panic. "What the hell am I doing?" I think to myself. This isn't real, if this were real I would be dead. Right? Suddenly he isn't next to me anymore he's across the room and I swear he almost looks hurt. 

I close my eyes and whisper to myself "Wake up!"
