"Both their gazes, once golden, now black, landed on me. I knew I wouldn't survive this."
Orion Swan is the older sister of Bella Swan, and has ventured with her from Arizona to Forks, Washington. Struggling with the getting through senior year and trying to connect with her sister, Orion's world comes crashing down in a few weeks. Just when she's certain that she needs to run away, Jasper Hale starts to befriend her, and the two start navigating a unique, hesitant friendship. Right as everything starts to feel normal again, she meets Carlisle Cullen, and realizes that something is terribly, deathly wrong with the Cullen's. Without knowing how she got into this mess, Orion finds herself feeling torn between the budding friendship of Jasper, and the intense draw she has to Carlisle. Little does she know, the two vampires have been watching her closer than she could ever guess, and are ready to fight for her. As secrets start to come out about the family, and the two get closer to her, she'll have to fight her passions and choose one of them, or neither. Can she give them up, or will it destroy her?
Author's note: This fanfic could be considered 16+. There will not be anything too intense, but occasional suggestive scenarios. I prioritize slow, vibrant world-building and storytelling, so this story is definitely a slow burn. I aim to make this fanfic feel like a real stand-alone story, so if you are looking for a quick romance this is not the story for you.
Orion Swan is in the middle of her senior year of high school, and I know some people feel off-put by Carlisle fanfics where the character is still in high school. I totally understand this, but would argue it's no different than Bella and Edward, who's over 100 lol. If it's not your cup of tea, totally get it, and I'd advise you find a different fic. I hope you all enjoy.
