Blood Moon

1. Aphrodite

I drove all the way to my school and as I parked my car, eyes are glued in my movement. I've been studying here in Forks for 2 years now, my family came back and forth in this beloved hidden town, no suspicions were spread, just mere rumors. All eyes were locked on me, I smirked as I stood beside my car. I am waiting for my dearest twin, or so humans thought, Renesmee. As I thought of her, she came with Jacob, their hands are locked which made me grimaced.
"How are you, Selene?" She asked me sweetly and reached for my cheeks. I dodged her palms knowing that she will just share another thought of hers with Jacob.
"I'm fine. Thank you. You don't need to touch me." I said with disgust, she laughed at my remarks.
"I knew what you did last night, Selene." Jacob growled at me.
"Jacob, Let's not ruin her mood." Renesmee said to her mate as she rubbed her palm in his broad shoulders.
"She messed a wedding near in La Push last night." Jacob explained to Nessie, Renesmee's stupid nickname, with intimidating eyes.
"She won't do it again. Right, Selene?" She turned her attention to me with warning look, I shrugged.
"Have you heard about the new transfer?" Renesmee changed the topic as she started walking through the crowded people. Jacob and I nodded quietly, she smiled with enthusiasm.
"New face."
"New scent." I smirked and l looked for Jacob's reaction, his glance became wary.
"As if you drink human blood." She laughed gracefully. I did not respond, instead I turned my way. I need to attend my class. I walk gracefully like Renesmee, Bella, Edward and Alice.. All of my family. Some stared at me, some are smiling, some are whispering. I am very thankful because my skill is not like Edward's, if I can read their thoughts maybe I have ripped their throats off their bodies. I did not pay attention to their never ending gossips about me, I knew there's no end for that especially when they're insecure. I am the Human, they think I am a human but I'm not, Aphrodite. The descendant of Aphrodite, in fact I am not, I am known for being the descendant of Bella and Edward, who became the most gorgeous couple beside Rose and Emmett. They see us, Renesmee and I, as some kind near to the word 'perfect'. Physique, mostly, I have natural golden brown eyes while Renesmee has Bella's eyes, ivory skin, pinkish cheeks and a body to die for. Boys attempted to approach us but failed because Jacob's always hovering around Renesmee. Edward pleased Jacob to include me with that hovering part. Suddenly, I felt weird when I heard some blood flowing and the scent is so tempting. I had to hold my breathe. It was unusual, I can control myself when it comes to scent but it was different.
"What was that?" I whispered to myself as I search for the scent. I saw a guy holding his schedules and books. I came near him and he looked at me with confusion.
"Excuse me?" He asked, I snapped back into reality and I ran back to my car. I drove fast and recklessly. I reached the meadow but the scent stayed with me. It smells so tantalizing, I knew I had to stay away. I reached the front porch of Cullens' household, I turned the ignition off and jumped to the front door wherein Edward's waiting for me with suspicion.
"Hey." I murmured and waited for his questions.
"You want to hunt?" He asked and I slowly nodded.
"It won't go away." I said, his eyes shadowed and he offered me a hug. I hugged him, I hugged my adopted father.
Carlisle was the one who found me but Edward stood as my father and Bella as my mother. I am not an immortal child when they had me, if I were, the Volturi will track me down and kill me. I am like Renesmee but unluckily, my mother passed away when she gave birth to me and my father is no longer to be found. Carlisle adopted me; I stopped aging like Renesmee, seven years after my birth. Carlisle tried to put some venom on me but my blood is powerful than that venom. They did not do it to Renesmee because of Jacob and the imprint thingy. As for my studies, Esme home-schooled me until I can fit in.
"I will tell your mother that you're here. Don't worry, we all know that feeling." Edward said and he stormed back into the woods. I guess, Bella's in the cottage. I went inside and observed. Nothing changed, same old house with pale style.
"Selene? Why are you here?" Rosalie asked when she went out of the kitchen. Rosalie adored me and Renesmee. She became our second mother, my third actually. Bella's my second mother. It doesn't matter, my mother is Bella now and my loving aunt is Rosalie.
"I need to hunt." I said and bit my lips. My sharp teeth against my granite lips. She hugged me and patted my shoulder.
"Please take care." She smiled and went back to the kitchen.
"Where is Renesmee?" Bella asked me as she placed her hands in my cheeks.
"She's with Jacob, Mom." I answered with tamed attitude.
"Do you think Jacob will mind if we borrow her for an hour?" Bella asked me, I shrugged. We went near to the Forks High School to fetch Nessie, we hide in the woods, I tried to control her thoughts–well, that's one of the things my gift can do; I can control feelings, thoughts and movement of a certain person, though the blind spot of my gift is that I can't control my own thoughts and I can't also control the thoughts of a person who is too occupied. Renesmeee's attention focused on me, she knew what to do so I didn't bother to control her. Good thing, her Physics is over. She looked for Jacob and excused herself. Jacob kissed her cheeks, disgusting. I say.
"Maybe Seth will imprint you and you won't be disgusted anymore." Edward said, I glared.
"How I wish, Daddy." I murmured. Seth is sort of, attracted to me and he's courting me legally. My dad allowed him to do so. Edward just smiled at me.
"Bella, love. What are you doing?" Edward asked Bella. I looked at my mother who's staring at someone in the fields of Forks High School.
"Is he?" She looked at me, I followed her glance earlier. She found the boy who has a nice scent.
"He's cute." My eyes grew bigger because of her words. I could shout by shock but I choose not to. That's not a good idea. Renesmee came and Edward explained everything to her and Bella pointed the boy. She let her giggle and teased me, too.
"It's really hard to resist that kind of blue eyes." Bella said as if it's a fact, well it's hard to resist, indeed. Because of the scent, not the blue eyes. I don't even know if his eyes were really blue. We ran into the west coast, avoiding the La Push. We came to the abandoned trail in the boundary of Forks. We stayed silent, hearing and smelling scent.
"I can't smell anything." I was alarmed, they looked at me.
"You need to focus, Selene." Bella said. I tried but the scent I always smell is from that boy. It's frustrating, I growled. And jumped in front of a stag before it could run, I ripped its throat and sipped its blood. I felt the blood run down into my throat and as if it's not enough for my thirst. Renesmee found an elk and she offered to share it with me. While Bella and Edward found a mountain lion. Finally, I was satisfied with my thirst and I look clean, too. We headed home when we were done. We stopped in the front porch when we smelled new scent of vampires.
