Gabriel (Book 1)

Business or Pleasure?

February 19th, 2011

Yeah, so I've been here for a week. I amuse the Denali's whenever I must with Carlisle's stories, but when I can slip away up to my room then I do. When I think I won't be bothered for a while I take out my heart and I look at it, it brings me back to thoughts of my child and my love and even of the vampires living in Kerry. When Tanya said she had spoken to Alice...at first I was afraid. Surely Alice must know that Im not the real Carlisle! And if she does, then why wouldn't she expose me??

Anyway, Im wondering who is getting married? Im wondering if they're sucking the towns dry or behaving as well as the Cullens? Time will tell, won't it? I still have a little while until I can go to them, I still have to finish what I had started. I have to get rid of the last of Kali's ashes and figure out how to put my heart back. Erm-well, actually, I don't need a heart. It just gets in the way, but I do feel empty there, sort of hollow.

All the sudden I hear a knock on the door, "'Come in.'" I say.

Tanya walks in, "'Well, hello, Carlisle. How is your rest, Carlisle?'"

She keeps saying his name in this weird voice. And this voice of hers makes me think that she knows that I am not him.

"'It was fine, Tanya. Can I help you with something, Tanya?'" I use that annoying voice on her.

"'Oh, Carlisle, I was just coming to check on you, Carlisle. You seem so sad and detached. Is there something wrong, Carlisle? Something that you want to tell me, Carlisle?'"

Oh my god! This woman is pissing me off!

I glare at her, "' I have nothing more to say to you, Tanya.'" I spit out in a growl.

"'Aha! Carlisle would never growl at us like that!'"

"'He would if you were being this rude!'" I jump off the bed.

"'That proves it. You said 'he' instead of' 'I'. Now, who they hell are you really?'"

"'Really? Your really want to know who I am?'"

She takes a determined stance and nods.

"'Okay,'" I grab my backpack, "'You asked for it.'" I jump at her and in the time it takes for me to pin her against the wall I am back in my own body, snarling and growling in her face.

"'Boo!'" She flinches, "'You chose the wrong day to piss me off, lady!'" I dash out of the room and down the stairs laughing out loud. These people won't catch me!

And that's when I stop. The rest of the Denali's are blocking my exit.

"'And where did you think you were going?'" Tanya asks as she casually walks down the stairs.

I don't answer. I just stare at each of them, and willing them to come towards me, I would kill them in a heartbeat!

"'How dare you abuse our hospitality! Well, you shall pay won't you?'" Tanya and her family close me in a circle.

Im spinning around with my hands out and nails ready to stab like daggers. They fall on top of me, and I use my power.

I shift into Alec and they all flinch away from me.

"'How dare I? How dare You abuse my kindness! Maybe I shall just have to kill you!'" Eleazer is holding Carmen, Garret is holding Katie, and Tanya is alone.

"'Maybe I'll just have to kill you like we killed your sister.'" I say to Tanya.

She gets a really sad look and then that's it. The Denali's are on the floor dead.

I run out the front door and into the airport.

"'California,'" I say.

Nah, I was just kidding you before, I didn't kill the Denali's. I only used Alec's power to deaden their senses. Ha! Im too clever for everyone.
