Equinox (twilight fanfiction)

Prologue 1

                                                                                                 Edited: 9/21/11

Alec's POV:

       Centuries with the Volturi and in all my years I have never seen power like this. Last week, Demetri and Felix reported to Aro about some vampires seeing a young human with gifts no one has ever seen before. They want me and my sister to interrogate the human girl. They said that she's dangerous when frightened. Somehow she heard about the Cullens and is on her way over there. This child's special gift is what Aro calls "A Sponge." The user can take a portion of any one person's gift and use it until he or she finds another. Not only does she have this gift but she has the same shield gift as the redheaded Cullen's mate. 

       The girl is 13 years old and has been on the run for a year. No immortal knows her name she never speaks around us. Some thinks she's mute others just think her childish fear keeps her from talking. Today, Demetri and Felix are on their way heading on foot. Jane and I are taking the plane.

      As I sit beside Jane, I wonder what life would be like without her. We know many vampires that want to kill us but its Jane that they are after. Now that we will be facing a group of vampires that are a threat to us, we need to stay strong.

                      Prologue:

Lelani POV: 

     Having the ability to take someone's gift isn't as much fun as it sounds. The ability to control it is the problem. How can a human control gifts she does not own? To answer your question lots and lots of practice and some surprises on the way. How did I become like this you ask? Well, for starters I wasn't born this way if that's what you think. Now sadly this was actually given to me, to save me from death. Some days I wish I actually died. But I have a purpose and I have no idea what that purpose is.

Flashback

Three years earlier

     Today started out like any normal day in school. I live in Taomi, Missouri. I am ten years old. I am on my second semester of 4th grade. My teacher gave me detention for coming in late for the 8th time this month. At lunch, I was sitting against a tree eating my sandwich, when my normal day turned into a nightmare. I was listening to Destiny's Child- Survivor. I like crazy colors. If it matches its no good.  I'm wearing my hair in a side pony tail. A few streaks of clip on colored hair pieces are in my brown hair. My bright pink shirt hugs my shoulders and my jeans make me look like I have no hips. My pink and white high tops are cute and used to belong to my mom.

     Anyway I got up to go throw away the plastic wrap from my sandwich. As I was walking, I saw a boy sitting in the woods near by. He looked to be around 17 or so. Why are teenagers at an elementary school you ask? Well, my town is so small that they mixed the schools together. Anyway I threw away the plastic. Then I walked up to the boy. His head was resting against a young girl's leg. "Lelani Jennifer Sequera, what are you doing here child?" The girl asked. Okay, how does this girl know my name? The boy looked up at me, startled.

     Suddenly, an seventh grade boy pushed me down from the side. He laughed at me. "Hey Lelli, wwww....an...nnna ppp...lay a gammm...e?" The boy slurred as he picked me up by my pony tail. I closed my eyes and held myself back. I knew if I tried to fight back it would be pointless. Kids have beaten me up before so I know the rules. The boy pulled me into the forest. I heard a few kids laughing. More kids came in. They shouted for the boy to teach me a lesson. The kids bully me because I'm different. They hate me because my dad is a police officer. In the town of Taomi, people hate police officers. The kids thought since he was my father than I would be like him too. So they hate me for who I was born into, not really for who I am.

    Long story short, they beat me up and left me there to get eaten by a wild animal. With no friends, who would care if I died? Would my father get blamed for my death? As I laid on the ground gasping for air, an old woman was standing over me. She shook her head. She muttered something in another language. Then she had a wolf carry me. The wolf carried me to an old shack. I winched at every step he took. "I... I need to go home." I whispered. I was placed on a hammock. The old woman tapped my lips. I frowned. What on earth is going on? Where am I? Who is this woman? Who in there right mind would live in the middle of the forest? What kind of old lady has a wolf for a pet?

     The wolf went inside the shack. In a few minutes, a boy a few years older than me came out. He was carrying two jars. He handed them to the old woman. "What's your name, girl?" The boy asked with full anger in his voice. The old woman glared at him. She hit him in the back of the head and scolded him in her native tongue. "Forget it. I'm Nemo. This is my grandmother Bethesida. You have been severely injured. If we tried to take you to the hospital you would be dead by now." The boy brushed it off. The old woman put the contents of the larger jar on my opened wounds. I grabbed the boy's hand. It was intensely hot but I needed to hold something. His frown faltered. The boy seemed distraught.

    My opened wounds slowly closed. Then the woman handed me the smaller jar. She gestured for me to drink it. I took it with both hands. It felt like I was holding hot coffee or soup. Either way it was hot. "What will this do?" I asked because there was something about the drink that didn't feel right. The boy tipped the drink up to my lips. Instantly slimy bugs crawled into my mouth. He covered my mouth before I could spit them out. Unwillingly I swallowed them.

    Instantly, I felt like my body was going to explode. The pain felt like I was drowning. I felt like something was attacking my lungs. I dropped the jar. I didn't hear it crash so someone caught it. The boy held me down. "It's a potion. It is supposed to keep you from getting hurt or injured." The boy explained.

"Why isn't it working?!!" My voice was raspy as I spoke.

"It is." An unknown voice said softly. "She is receiving power from the magic of our pack." He continued. I screamed with all my might then. The pain just doubled... if that was possible.

    A pair of hands touched my cheeks. I gasped. I could see his thoughts. He was in love with a woman named Helen. He seemed to know what was happening. I heard him sigh. Then the vision left along with the pain. "W... Wha... What was that?" I questioned as I opened my eyes. In front of me was a hand mirror. I shrieked at the sight of my eyes. My eyes turned from brown to gray. My cheeks looked flushed and my pimples were gone.

"Doesn't matter you have powers now that immortals will want. Stay with Nemo for a year for training." The man ordered. He looked similar to Nemo yet he looked to be in his late 20's. He was wearing a harvest moon charm necklace. I sat up. Slowly I touched it. The man hissed. He picked me up. Then he pushed me to the ground. I winced at the pain in my back.

"Usalk, let her go." A woman, probably Helen, from the distance said appalled with him. Slowly Usalk let me go.

    He stood up. Then he walked away. Nemo helped me up. He took me to the shack. We ate lasagna. Around nine o'clock he left to run an errand. I fell asleep on the couch a little while after that.

     We trained for a year. Until we realized I couldn't learn anything else from werewolves. Leaving my home was very difficult. Nemo really didn't want to leave the pack. So Usalk gave him alpha's orders to travel with me. Nemo felt like he was banished just because he did this to me in the first place. But I'm not mad at him. I like being special.
