Chapter 1
Okay so far my week has been terrible. I got my ass kicked by Jonas, I meet James, who just so happens to like the smell of my blood and has gone crazy to try and kill me, I've lost my ability to hear people's thoughts, and now I'm having hell trying to sell all of my things from my old house. What I wouldn't give for a little bit of sunlight on my scales of life. Okay, there is one thing I will never give up, and it's the Cullen's, and especially Edward.
Today was cloudy, but to my relief it never once rained, so I'd say that's some luck. It's now the middle of Spring and we're getting ready to hit May. And in this case April Showers don't bring May flowers. All I've seen here are moss, grass, ferns, and hey! More green! I never thought I'd hate the color green so much. Okay, I lied, I still like green but I'll never wear it whilst I still live here. I may were it when I go visit my old coven.
I told Chase and my family about Edward and what has all happened recently. I think Chase really wants to kill Jonas. He's ok with Edward, due to the fact that he's the person making sure I don't get into a lot of trouble. It's rather amusing.
"It's not that amusing." Edward growled to me lowly to where none of the costumers to could hear.
I giggled lightly and saw Charlie drive up to my yard.
"Hey, Charlie!" I called.
I haven't seen him in 2 weeks, I was starting to get worried.
"Hey, Nyx! How are you?" He asked and pulled me into a big hug.
"I'm doing fair. God I'm almost tempted to visit Oklahoma and try and sell all that's not bought. I know Tulsa loves shopping, but man it's just sad." I teased when he let me go.
Charlie laughed at my little joke then looked to Edward.
"How are you doing?" Edward asked and shuck Charlie's hand.
"Pretty good. Yourself?"
Edward shrugged then said, "Just having fun trying to keep up with Nyx."
"Hey!" I yelled and punched Edward lightly on the shoulder, "Your just as fun trying to keep up with."
"Well, I'm glad to see that yah'll are happy. Hey Nyx, you wouldn't happen to have any fishing gear?"
"As a matter of fact I do." I chimed and showed Charlie the way to a large assortment of rods, nets, and hooks.
I turned to see Charlie with a look that made you think he literally just died and went to heaven.
"Well help yourself to which ever pleases you. I have some work to do over with Emmet." I said then left the sheriff to look around.
I heard Emmet and Jasper threatening to begin a fight so I had to hurry. When I actually got to them they were laughing at me. What the hell was going on?!
"Ha, you fell for it!" Emmet guffawed.
"You- You took advantage of me since I can't hear you?!" I yelled and tackled both of them to the ground and made our way to the forest.
"But of course!" Jasper laughed and tackled me as soon as we were at a good distance away from the sale.
"You guys are just mean!" I yelled and shoved Jasper off and jumped on Emmet's back.
"But it's our job!" He laughed as pulled me around and began pushing me to the dirt.
Jasper and Emmet both ganged up on me and we had a fun little brawl. They usually didn't let me or Edward wrestle with them since we could read they're minds, and they thought of it as cheating. But now since I can't, they'll take advantage of it, and see what exactly I'm made of.
"Hey just one at a time, it's not fair!" I yelled when they both easily held my face in the dirt.
"But then you'll win!" Jasper teased.
"Like hell she will!" Emmet yelled and let me up.
Jasper hit Emmet's ego and now I get to fight him. This was going to be very interesting. Emmet circled me as I kept my ground at one spot. When he was behind me, I closed my eyes and listened to his foot steps and low growls. I needed to be calm, fast, and strong to beat Emmet.
Before I knew it Emmet darted at me and I jumped up making him barely miss me. But that didn't stop him. He jumped up at me but I slammed into his chest and we both shot to the ground. We landed, with me on top, and made a nice little crater in the dirt. All you could see was an Emmet print. It was rather humorous.
Emmet kicked me off and I went flying and hit a tree. It got knocked down and I hissed at the pain it caused on my back.
"Whoa, Emmet. I think your taking it a little to hard on her." Jasper said quickly.
I looked down as saw a couple scarlet marks on my white shirt, and realized I was bleeding. I looked at Emmet with a some what scared look, I never thought he'd actually hurt me. We were just messing around. Emmet had a frown on his face and came towards me.
"I'm sorry, Nyx. I shouldn't have lost it like that." Emmet said and helped me up.
"I thought it was rather amusing." We heard someone chuckle.
I looked to the south as saw James looking at me carefully.
My eyes widened in fear, knowing full well that he wanted my blood, and here I was. Bleeding, just making everything more tempting for this guy. I dashed around to Emmet and looked at my brother, seeing him glaring at James. Jasper came over to me and put a stiff hand on my shoulder. I turned and saw him shaking. Shit! He liked my smell as well! And he was still trying to get used to the new life style.
Jasper used to be a nomad like James, and he recently, due to Alice, joined the Cullens. We knew he had the hardest time dealing with the change of diet, and we supported him. But me being half human, and bleeding at this moment, I was, unintentionally, tempting Jasper as well.
"Nyx, Get out of here!" I heard Jasper growl.
I didn't need to be told twice and dashed to our house. Carlisle and Esme should be home right now. I know I'll be safe there. As I ran as fast as I could I heard Emmet and Jasper growling at James, but I heard someone's foot steps trailing right behind me. I was terrified to look back, afraid to see if it was either James or Jasper.
Quickly I ran into my house and yelled for Esme and Carlisle. To my great displeasure, I heard no one answer. It would just be my luck and no one was home.
"Nyx!" I heard a man call.
I turned around and saw James standing at the door entrance. He was still wearing his leather jacket over some torn jeans.
"Don't you ever change?" I asked trying to sound brave, while on the inside, I was scared shitless.
James scuffed then said, "Your trying to be brave, I'll give you that."
Crap! He could tell!?
"You know, I want to make this fun. Cause right now, if I were to kill you, it'd be the most boring hunt I've ever had." James sneered.
"I'm not a human! I'm a freaking Vampire!" I yelled and threw fire at James quickly.
James dodged it easily. Shit this guy was fast! He ran at me with incredible speed and slammed to the wall next to the stair case.
"I want to make this fun. When your finally brave enough to face me, just go looking for me. Try your tracking skills. And if you don't find me, I know I'll be able to find that beautiful smell of your anywhere." James said looking at me with his glowing red eyes.
"Just curious; What on earth do I smell like?" I asked now a little confused.
James laughed lightly and inhaled at my neck, "Jasmine with Lavender. Such a clam and mouth watering smell." he whispered into my ear.
I shivered lightly at his cool breathe that tickled my neck.
James let me go then ran out the door whispering, "For now, my sweet."
