Ch. 4

I can't remember the pain I went through. I only remember the pure darkness I was in. There was nothing, nothing at all. I don't know long it has been. How long have I been going through this? The last memory I had was of Edward, the dark one. What happened to the Edward I knew? That crooked smile of his, the golden eyes, the good of him to resist the need for human blood.

 

That's when I woke up. I was staring up at the sky. It was dark, but not nightime. Dark, gray clouds covered everything. I sat up slowly, trying to figure out what exactly happened. I looked around my surroundings, seeing that I was not where I was before. I was in the middle of a forest it seemed. Dark green trees and ferns crowded around me. Moss covering parts of the ground and trunks of the old trees.

 

I remembered what happened. Edward had bitten me, along with drinking my sweet flesh. I lifted my hand. As I turned it around to examine it better, I reliezed that my hand was paler than ever, like snow. I got up and I felt somehow stronger, stronger than I used to be. I wanted to get a better look of myself to see what I've become. I heard a river nearby, the streaming water has always caught my attention. It has always been like that. But for some reason, my senses for the elements felt stronger than ever. I could feel so much of the low wind around me. The earth below my feet felt like a part of me, like my soles were engraved into the ground.

 

I wanted to get to the water. So I ran. I surprised myself because of my speed. This wasn't normal. I had to be running at 100 miles an hour. Soon enough, I was right in front of the river I knew. I took a deep breath before I dared to look at my reflection. I kneeled down next to the water, and gasped.

 

I was.... beautiful. I was as pale as a ghost, and dark circles ran under my eyes, which were a deep blood red. I looked younger than 18, maybe 15 by the complexion of my body. My hair was no longer brown, it was a deep silver. My nails were a deep red. My mouth was open as I gasped and I kept it open. I had fangs. I thought vampires in our world didn't have fangs. I poked at them, and they were really sharp. But I didn't bleed.

 

I'm a vampire. Someone who can never die unless I get killed. I was immortal.

 

If I could, I would be crying right now. My sad face reflecting off the water's surface seemed so beautiful, as an angel. Like an angel that fell from the sky. I sighed. But when I sighed, a deep gust of wind came out. I saw the air as it ran in the other direction. I got up and I stared at the water rushing east. I somehow knew that I was facing north. I lifted my hand, concentrating on the water. I had my eyes closed and when I opened them, my hand was controling water. The little stream of water I picked up from the river was in my control. I lifted both hands and moved them in directions to control it. The water danced around me like a snake. I pushed my hands down and the water plopped down back in the river.

 

I turned around to a large boulder that was sitting there. I looked at it, and concentrated on the large rock. I puched into the airand the rock moved right into a large tree and knocked it down. I ran over to it, feeling sad that I killed the tree. Then, a sprout grew from the tree's spot and grew so fast. Soon enough, a grown tree was in its place.

 

So far, I was able to control and use water, air, and earth. Now there was fire. I thought about fire, the one element that burns within you. I took a deep breath and punched into the air. Fire shot out of my fist and dissolved into the air.

 

My special gift... I could control the elements.

 

But I still had questions running through my head. Why was I like this? In our world, the vampires don't have fangs, and hair color doesn't change. Nothing really does. Only you become more beautiful and you become pale.

 

I wasn't thirsty. But I wanted to see the Cullens. I was still facing north, and the Cullens' house was only a few miles away. I ran south, in the direction of the house. As I ran, the wind around me followed me. The earth beneath me seemed to follow me. I wanted to get there as soon as possible so I ran faster, controling the air around me. Soon enough, I was 10 yards away from the house.

 

I stopped. I was afraid that they might consider me someone not good. I hope Alice sees me right about now. I was afraid that I might hurt them. I thought for a minute. Wind can carry things, including sound waves. I listened with the wind, hoping to catch a conversation. I did.

 

I could hear everybody. It was Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie and.... Bella. Bella was crying.

 

"...don't know what happened," I heard Carlisle say. "Edward has gone missing and I can't seem to find him anywhere."

 

"But what about Lauren?" Alice questioned. "She was with Bella and just dissapered. They were in a graveyard when they saw the Masen's tomb and Bella was suddenly back here...."

 

"Maybe whatever happened has something to do with that vampire Edward was tracking...." Esme said and sighed.

 

I thought about making my move. I whispered softly so the wind could carry it to them.

 

"I'm here..." I whispered. My voice sounded like a soft bell. I saw the wind carry my voice inside the house. They heard it, but were shocked. They didn't move for a fraction of a second.

 

"That sounded like...." Rosalie said.

 

"She's outside..." Alice trailed off. She looked at Carlisle. "Carlisle...."

 

He shook his head. "Let's go see."

 

They all ran out and Bella was still inside... to scared. All the Cullens were 10 feet away from me.

 

I looked at them, with a worried look on my angel face. Nobody spoke, just kept a composed face. I could tell that they were afraid to step forward. Carlisle shook it off, still composed and stepped forward. He was now 5 feet from me. I tell the fear in Esme's eyes.

 

He spoke. "Lauren... what are you?" I knew it wasn't if I was a vampire but... if I was on their side or not.

 

I spoke softly. "....I don't know...."

*whiny* I LOVE IT but then I don't. You see it just happened so abruptly without enough time to get the idea around our heads. And some one already has the element gift, what's his name again ....... oh yea his name was Benjimen or something like that. Two vampires don't have the gifts the same but it is your own book but if you want to keep it real to Breaking Dawn then yeah. Loved it but didn't, Edward would never ever do something like that and Bella shouldn't have disapeared. Great story! Just I think you need to think it through. *Sighs* wow biggest review I've ever down :P Just read back and looked at the chapter/s
