'The Other Swan' (Twilight/Vampire Diaries Fan Fiction)

...A Little Break Is All You Need...

I laid down in the center of a road and stared at the gray sky removing my sling because it was annoying me and I no longer wanted to pretend to be human, it wasn't worth my time and energy. The rain poured down on me and wet my clothes drop by drop but I didn't know why I was laying in the middle of nowhere, maybe I'd finally hit that midlife crisis. I closed my eyes and I pictured my father. It was then I realised I had lost sight of what was really important to me. I had forgotten why I was ruining my life. Why I was ruining everything and everyonet around me...I had never really had that father-daughter relationship because Stefan killed my father. In a way he was right in doing so because my father was a danger to everyone around him and an arsehole. I still believe I could have brought back his sanity, but that's what every daughter would wish for right? To make sure her dad was there to stay forever?

I was fading away to unconsciousness because I was awake the whole night but I couldn't have fallen asleep on the road. I stood up and I began walking away into the dense trees and twigs. I noticed my locket was missing and I saw it on the white paint so I sluggishly went to pick it up but me, obviously, not seeing the car it skid on the wet gravel and hit me. I flew across the air and when I landed on the floor I kept on moving because of the water until I finally came to a stop. My breath was short and it was thin.

It wasn't long before I heard people talking and they ran to me. "What do we do? Do we call the cops?"

"We should just leave?"

"What do you mean just leave?" the woman asked. 

"We can't afford to go to prison again. I mean we just got out and we need to start a new life. Now come on," the male said. They apologized before leaving and I sat up. They were gone and I was in pain while my bones tried to shift back into place. I grabbed my phone and like I expected, my phone rang, but still there was no caller ID.

I woke up on a couch and I looked around. I was feeling good and I felt no pain. I stretched my arms and legs clicking them back into place. "Valerie!" I called out and she appeared in the room. I smiled and gave her a hug.

"Why did you have werewolf toxin and vervain in your system?" she asked me.

"I don't know. How have you been?" I asked her and she smiled.

"Good, Lily is being a pain but I'm okay. I've got to go. I have to attend to my keeper," she said and hugged me one last time before leaving. I grabbed my jacket and the Cullen family came into the room.

"Thank you for housing me here while Valerie did her thing," I said and Alice gave me a hug.

"We'd do anything for you," she said and I smiled.

"Hey can I talk to you?" Edward asked and I nodded. He took my hand and he took me to his room. I could feel him about to lecture me and I didn't want to hear it.

"What were you thinking laying in the middle of the road while it was raining?" he asked.

"I wasn't thinking," I told him and he was in front of me in an instant.

"I could've lost you if Valerie hadn't found you," he said and I gave him a hug.

"You never have to worry about losing me. Ever. No matter what I'll always be here. You're my best friend you can always count on me to be a pain," I said and I leaned forward to kiss his cheek. I walked out of the room and Emmett smiled.

"Let me know if you wanted the room soundproofed," he smiled and winked at me.

"No thanks, I think we're good besides you might want to ask Bella," I said and I walked downstairs.

Alice ran to Edward and handed him something. "I've already packed your bag Aria so you're going somewhere with our family for the weekend," she said and I smiled, not the happy smile but the smiled that had annoyance written all over it. My stomach fell and my face was frozen in place.

"Alice, I uh-" Edward said and she hushed him.

"We are going. I think it's about time we got to know each other a little better." she said and my smile went away but the shock didn't.

"I have stuff to get done," I told her and she threw Edward some keys and grabbed my hand and once again I was going upstairs. She took me to her room and I saw a bed unlike in Edward's room. She handed me a long summer maxi lace dress with a pair of heels.

I put it on and she tied my hair up in a ponytail. "Is all of this necessary? I really need to go and get my errand over with?" I asked her.

"Yes, yes it is and you're not going anywhere," she looked at me in the mirror.

"I'd I'm going with you I'm wearing what I want,"

"Fine, change the shoes keep the dress," she nodded and I sighed under my breath. I walked down to the lounge where everyone looked at me with wide eyes and I blushed.

"Is it bad?" I asked them.

"Not too shabby," Edward said and I smiled. He took my hand and we hopped into the car so we could spent the weekend away from Forks. This wasn't ideal but she was right, I needed to take a break just this once.

"We'll catch up with you later, there are a few things we need to sort out first," Esme said and everyone got into their cars and we all drove off.

When I looked outside the sun was shining and the green of the earth hit me right in the heart. "This place isn't bad," I said looking at the family and they set their bags down.

Later that night we sat in his room by the fire place so I could stay warm. "So you actually don't drink human blood?" I asked him.

"No," he replied.

"Not even from a blood bag?" I asked him and he explained how he only drank from animals since he had a hard enough time staying away from people.

I ran for some time with Rose and we talked about her and Emmett and how I just wanted to keep it friendly between Edward and I. By the time I got back it was late afternoon. I ran the shower and I stood under the shower head for a while thinking about Lorenzo. I could see his face. The pain deep in his eyes. The hurt wrenching at his heart. 

When I hopped out, I locked the door, closed the curtain and grabbed a candle. I closed my eyes trying to block everything out, except him. I could see him. He was staring at his ring. He sat up after a while and shoved it in a drawer. When Enzo finally left the room I opened his drawer and I took the ring. I buried it by a tree and I opened my eyes. I would probably regret it later but I couldn't think about later right now. Elijah then popped into my head and I was too tempted to not take a look. As usual he sat in the study reading a book and I just sat there looking at him for a while until I decided that it was just too much. I went outside and I looked at the flowers and trees.

"Morning," Carlisle said.

"Morning," I smiled and carried on looking outside.

"You've been quite distant the whole time you've been here," he said.

"I have a lot on my mind. It's just I've been planning a lot and taking holidays makes me uncomfortable,"

"Is it because of your past?"

"Is it possible for you to really forget your past? It's just so far fetched for me,"

"I guess we all feel like that sometimes," was all he said and I looked at him.

'Sometimes' replayed in my mind, bouncing off of the walls until I crumpled it up and three it away. No, all the time. Was the more accurate assumption.
