“Argh!” I hate my parents! What did they want now?! A tissue, the
remote – my head on
a silver platter?! They are so damn lazy!!!
It doesn’t help that they carry a strange hatred for me. As I grew
up, I always saw that
venomous glare; every time they saw that I was filled with
happiness or a sort of
peacefulness I was sent away with hisses of “Get lost, I can hardly
care!”
“Fine”.
“Fine”.
I always felt left out whenever there was some sort of family do
going on. All my family would
dress up like they were going to get a visit from the Queen. Yes,
they wore ballroom gowns, like
‘Good god!’ My sisters would be in one room, laughing, giggling,
snorting halfway and of course
to complete the whole girly thing they would also talk about boys!
Ding Dong! Damn! Father’s back from work and I’m not ready
yet… Oh man! He’s going to kill me!
They’re going to kill me! I started to whimper, when I
remembered what had happened last time…
Ah! I opened my eyes and banged the alarm clock that was
beeping so outrageously; it was 7:00.
Oh my god!!!! Dinner starts at 7. Father’s going to be very angry
with me.
I quickly threw on a black top and converses. I ran down the spiral
staircase, taking as many steps
as I could without tripping; I could really do without a concussion
today.
I ran into the dining room, passing all the worried looks of the
maids and workers of the house.
Everyone was seated. My father was sitting at the head of the
table, my sisters at the sides and my
mother opposite my father. I normally sat opposite my sisters,
without another glance at my father I
sat down in my seat. A plate was placed in front of me; I
whispered a quick thank you to the maid.
The maids liked me but my “family” didn’t.
“Do you think they could help you?” He must have seen me
watching my “family” he was laughing at me, at my
hopelessness. He came closer, so he was near enough to whisper
in my ear, “No one could stop me if I wanted
something.”

“Edward,” Alice sang as she danced down the stairs, “Come on, let
me get you ready”.
“Oh right, I forgot we are going to the Swan house tonight,” This
will be fun, I thought sarcastically. Carlisle and our family had
gotten invited to a business man’s house, Jonathon Swan.
After I came down from showering and putting the clothes that
Alice set out from me, Carlisle was back from work and Rosalie,
Emmett, Jasper and Alice were all in the living room.
“Is everyone ready?” Carlisle said as he came into the living room.
The house was big, probably bigger than ours; we got out and rang
the door bell. We were met by a maid; she had short black hair
and pale blue eyes. Wow, they are really beautiful. I smiled.
“Good evening Sir would you like to come in,” she stepped back
and allowed us in and asking to take our jackets.
“Thank you,” I said. Did he just thank me? No one ever thanks
me... except for Bella (sigh). She sounded so shocked that I
thanked
her, do they not treat their maids in a good manner?
“So are any of you single?” he asked. If any of them are then they
can get married to one of my girls.
I told my family what he had thought; I spoke so low that no
human ears would be able to hear.
Carlisle had informed him that Rosalie and Emmett were dating
and Jasper and Alice were also dating. I however was single. I
could hear
the squeals of the sisters in my head; it was enough to give me a
headache.
The girl, no, woman that came through the door was beautiful…
there were no words to describe her. She was wearing Victorian
corset
that stuck to her like second skin, they showed all her curves. She
was absolutely beautiful. She had dark chocolate eyes and silky
browny
red hair which came just below her breasts. She wore a necklace a
heart shaped one that fell under her dress, in the middle of her
breasts;
it was just asking for attention. I could feel myself go hard; that
never happened! Who was she? And why couldn’t I read her
mind?
When she saw that everyone was watching at her, she blushed. It
was so beautiful I could only stare. I started hearing things voices.
Aah! Finally, someone for our Edward, those other girls do not
deserve him. Esme
Urgh! What is she even doing here? Daddy’s not going to like that
and nobody is going to steal my boyfriend, future husband. Ashley
Oh look what the cat dragged in, why is she here? Sarah
Why were they all speaking so badly about her? While I was
thinking about that, my angel spoke.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize we were having guests,” she looked
down; the sadness in her face was heartbreaking.
“Its okay,” I quickly said before anyone else could say anything.
“If you don’t mind me asking, who are you?” Carlisle continued
for me, I whispered thanks to him.
Bella broke her gaze with the rich business man and stared intently
at the red carpet, with a quiet sigh she gave us a forced smile and
walked back the way she came.
Edward, she was so depressed, she has such low self-esteem and
she doesn’t even have much self-confidence. I’m worried. Jasper
I spoke lowly so no one but the vampires in the room would hear,
“Me too, Jazz, me too…”

“Come here,” she said with a smile. I crossed the space between
us.
“Here taste this and tell me if it’s ok,” she cut out a piece of cake
and put it into a saucer for me and gave me a fork.
The Queen gave birth to twins, Acheron and Styxx, they were both
supposed to be princes. Until they looked into the eyes of Acheron,
swirling silver, like the blind. For that reason they hated him.
When he reached the age of puberty he was what every single
person desired.
Men and women desired him, they hated him too. They hated him
for making them want him. He was sent away to his uncles who
had used
him sexually. He had become a whore. Later we find out that the
reason why everyone had desired him was because he was touched
by the
Goddess of Desire who was concerned for the world and didn’t
want the apocalypse to happen.
Ryssa Acheron’s sister had sent so many letters to her brother but
had gotten no replies so she had begged her father to bring
Acheron back
home but he had refused and basically ignored the fact that he had
another son. Ryssa was so worried, she hated Styxx and to her, her
only
brother was Acheron and she loved him. She soon got sick of the
King’s refusals so she had set out to go get Acheron herself or just
check
that he was ok. When she found his door she went in only to find
that her uncle had made Acheron a whore and he didn’t want to go
back
home where his father had wanted nothing to do with him. When
his uncle died he was sent back home and was imprisoned in the
castles dungeon.
Acheron soon got sick of his life so he tried to starve himself but
his father would not allow it as they found out that if Acheron dies
than
Styxx would die. So they fed him by using force. He got sick of
that and would welcome death any day so he secretly went to the
temple of
Artemis the huntress Goddess and kissed her hoping for death but
she took advantage of his beauty and used him too. All he wanted
was to
be loved.
Artemis gave him a ring with her symbol on it but when his father
saw that he accused him of stealing it from her temple. Acheron
tried to
defend himself and said that Artemis gave it to him and that she
loves him. That they could ask her and she would come to his
rescue. When
they asked her she claimed she didn’t know him and he was made
sterile and was gutted to the floor at her feet.
Later that night she came to him and asked if he wanted come over
to her bedroom like nothing had happened. He said no and that he
didn’t
want anything to do with her, she had broken what was left of his
heart.
Soon she came back saying sorry and she wanted him. She healed
him, flashed them to her realm and used him again and this
included drinking
his blood like the bitch she was. After they were done she had a
feast laid in front of him showing how sorry she was. She flashed
him back
when he was done so he was alone in his bedroom.
Acheron had gotten into another fight with her father about an
attempt on Styxx’s life when Acheron was with Artemis all night.
Ryssa told
her father this. Acheron had gotten beaten up this and this time
Artemis helped whispering to him that he shouldn’t have betrayed
him. He was sick
of it. He was sick of Artemis and her lies to him. There were
voices in his head and soon he found out that he was the son of
Apollymi from a
demon. He had gotten his powers realized that he did have a loving
mother, Apollymi. She knew what was happening to him and she
never meant
for that to happen. She put him into the family of royalty so he
would be treated the best not the worst. She was trapped otherwise
she would have
destroyed everyone for what they had done to him. She killed her
husband, Archon, the one that had wanted Acheron dead and also
trapped her.
Artemis killed Acheron. Apollymi was set free and destroyed
Atlantis with rage and grief for her son.
Artemis found out that Apollymi wanted her dead since she hurt
Acheron more than anything so she brought Acheron back by
giving him her
blood. Acheron was the son of Creation and Death so by Artemis
sucking his blood she now had a bit of his powers.
“Isabella, you better have a good reason of why you came into the
living room or I swear to God-” he broke off and breathed out
slowly as
if he was trying to control his anger.
“I-I never knew w-w-we were having guests, no one told me,” I
stuttered nervously, “I-I didn’t want to be late for dinner.”
“Oh, you didn’t know? Oh, that’s ok then,” he said with child-like
sarcasm. His arm snaked forward and grabbed me by the arm and
pulled
me to him. “I wish I never met you!” His eyes scanned me from
top to bottom. “You’re disgusting!” And with that he threw me at
the wall.
My arm hit it with such force that I think I heard a crack. I fell to
the floor with a thud and gave into unconsciousness but not before
I heard
my father’s voice, “You would have been late for dinner anyway,”
he kissed his teeth and then there was silence.

After Bella had left everyone was silent before Jonathan threw a
fusillade of questions my way. “So Edward, how old are you?”
“17,” I answered trying not to let the poison in my mouth from the
rage from the way Bella’s father was treating her go into my voice.
“Well, my girls are both 18, merely a year older, but that doesn’t
matter.”
Why does he want to know about her?! Ashley snarled in her head.
From her looks you could tell that she could either be your best
friend
or your worst enemy for a human. She had white blonde hair and
ice cold blue eyes. She wore a white dress which came down to the
middle
of her thighs and the top part of her dress showed her cleavage. It's
ridiculous what girls of this century are like.
“It doesn’t matter!” Sarah answered my question quickly but
sternly, “I mean, it doesn’t matter about her,” she smiled and
leaned towards me.
“So Edward,” she tried to sound seductive but ended up sounding
extremely foolish; the way my name rolled off her tongue made
me cringe.
“Are you going to enrol in our school?” She said “you” not “your
family”
There was a sudden noise from upstairs like a door slamming open.
I could tell my family heard it too; they were all listening to see
what he
was doing.
“Isabella, you better have a good reason of why you came into the
living room or I swear to God-” Jonathan’s voice growled deeply
then he
broke off like he was trying to calm himself.
“I-I never knew w-w-we were having guests, no one told me,”
Bella spoke nervously, “I-I didn’t want to be late for dinner.”
Jonathan came back downstairs; all I felt like doing was grabbing
him by the neck and slowly torturing him before ending his life.
“Could everyone
now make their way to the dining room please,” he smiled. How I
wished I could grab him and suck the life out of him; I wanted to
see the light go
out of his eyes; I wanted to…I wanted to kill him? For a human? I
smiled to myself as I pondered this but then my mind clouded wish
red rage as I
thought of Bella lying there cold, white and still. I was still in
control of the monster but the hold was very fragile.
“Ok then, there if a bathroom in the 1st floor, 2nd door to your left.”
Jonathan smiled at us before leaving to go into the dining room.
I didnt get far as Emmett and Jasper were on the staircase and
blocking my path to Jonathan. "Dude, he's not worth it," Jasper
pushed me back up the
stairs "And Bella needs you remember." I nodded, breathed out
and entered her bedroom for the second time.
"Yeah, I bandaged her arm so she just needs rest. Let me jsut pack
my equipment up so I can put her into bed-"
What is it with this girl that seems so plain but is far from that. She
was beautiful and anyone whoever thought she was plain was
blind.
I gently lay her on her bed and covered her up with the duvet. I
bent over slightly and lay a kiss on her forehead.
"Nothing son, it's just good to see you so happy after a long time.
Now come on, they're going to get suspicious if we are any
longer." Oh yeah, I had
forgotten about them, I had actually forgotten about everyone
even Carlisle and he was in the same room as me. This girl must
affect me very badly
for a vampire not to notice the person in the same room as them.
We ran down the stairs and walked into the dining room.
Oh, he's soo dreamy! Sarah sighed in my head, oh great this was
going to be one long dinner.
