Catch me before I fall (OPEN)

[OLIVIA THORNE]

"I want to go home. Just, let me go home."

[/i] the frightened human cried. Her heart was pounding erratically in her chest as it rung in Olivia's ears. She was all too familiar with the cries and pleas of a panicking human and paid little to no attention to it. Her mind was completely focused on her baby. "My family is dead. And for all I know you were going to eat me that night too. I want to go home." Olivia scanned through the filing cabinet in her head to try and see if she had seen the girl somewhere before this. Nothing came to mind and she figured she was new in town. Brooke did say she was Edward's new sister. 'They'll just adopt anybody won't they', she thought to herself although she knew Edward would also hear. But she couldn't care less. "I want down." a soft voice danced up to her ears. Now Grace was crying making Olivia even more furious. "She...she...I wanted to buy her hot chocolate...And then she went psycho!" She tried wiggling out of her arms but she wasn't ready to let her go and held her grip on her firmly. “She’s Edward’s newest sister, Liv…. I am sure nothing happened. My car is at your place… Should I get it tomorrow? It sort of looks like you two need some time alone.” her gaze quickly softened as she moved it over to Brooke. "Yes that's fine." she nodded. "don't let them get me." Grace cried before she unexpectedly passed out on her shoulder. Olivia's eyes grew wide as panic struck her like a lightning bolt. Who was she talking about and why had she passed out? Obviously there was something she wasn't telling her. Shaking her slightly she tried to wake her up. "Grace...Gracie...baby wake up." she said, her voice slightly shaking. Her eyes shot back at the girl then up at Edward, her eyes red with furry. "What the hell is she talking about? What is wrong with her?" she growled, hoping Edward would give her an answer.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Ehh..sorry it sucks ><

"I want to go home." "Just, let me go home." "My family is dead. And for all I know you were going to eat me that night too." "I want to go home." 'I want to go home. I want to be in my bed.' Edward looked at his sister's condition. She was literally terrified. Who wouldn't be? She was the only human here....Edward was only trying to what he was told to do....And this is what happens? But no matter how many times he's tried to be near her, she went into a fury that she was hard to come out of....Like now.....

"I want down." ."Run...run away...They're after me." "She...she...I wanted to buy her hot chocolate...And then she went psycho!" "Don't let them get me." Poor kid...She didn't know Edward could read her mind...But he would still keep her secret. She was young and didn't need to be tainted any more than she's already been....She was pure and innocent even if she was a hybird....Edward remained as he was when the girl's mother picked her up in her arms....Olivia.....The one Volturi member he knew that lived in Forks....But she still didn't trust him....It was official...She didn't....Olivia made that known to others right off the bat....

“She’s Edward’s newest sister, Liv…. I am sure nothing happened.”“I know darling… I know the whole story.” “But can you really blame me for being worried for a few seconds? I haven’t seen you in weeks and the first time I do there is a frightened girl involved…” “You should take Anastasia home… I am sure Esme is worried by now. You should also tell her to call me when she needs someone to pick Ana up from school, I know I may not live in the Cullen home but I am still part of the family and I won’t go on a rampage when someone needs something done.” “My car is at your place… Should I get it tomorrow? It sort of looks like you two need some time alone.”

Edward's eye lit up the very moment his wife showed her own eyes at him. He had not seen her in a while. And he was so over joyed and wanted nothing more than to embrace her body close to his...He wanted to kiss her...He wanted that scent she carried all over him so badly...He felt like a army soldier just reunited with his wife....But I guess you can say there was some true to that. Only he was now serving the Volturi...Nothing more. This was not a welcome home he wanted either. He had just gotten back. And he had not had time to see Brooke. He remained where he was but nodded that she said he needed to get his sister back home....And walked over to Ana....But would any of them believe he did not cause a single thing to make Ana frightened....? Edward doubted....

"Hello to you too darling...." She would know every thing even though the others knew very little what Edward has done. She brushed her hand on his knuckles....That touch he wanted more of it....He wasn't sure how long he was going to last.....The smell of Ana was indeed giving him issues....."Brooke....Here...Take her home...I don't think I'll be able to sit in the same car with her with in no more than five seconds....Please...."

"Yes that's fine." "Grace...Gracie...baby wake up." . "What the hell is she talking about? What is wrong with her?"

But that voice stopped him as he looked over at Olivia....

"I can't tell you...That's some thing she needs to tell you..." He said with a firm voice as he decided it might be best that Brooke took a hold of his sister than him......Considering what was going on in the pit of his stomach at this point.....Brooke would know what was happening. Ana would know....And this would probably scare the girl even more....But Edward was trying his best to remain calm as he hoped his wife would take his sister home like he asked earlier....He looked at Olivia and hoped she understood that he could not really say any thing at this point....."Damn it Edward! Just run away from them....No....No....Control yourself...Come on you can do this...." Thank heaven no one else could read minds like he could. He was be in trouble if so....Brooke knew what was going with her husband as he grabbed his stomach to fight the urge....He had to find his own way back to the Cullen house...He couldn't hurt Ana....But she smelled so good...And he was going to hurt her if he could not leave! By now his eyes....Were only a shade of red....This meaning he was trying to control himself....

[anastasia90]

Who could you trust when you feared your family? Anastasia was terrified, and seeing the struggle on Edward's face, made her even more scared. She wanted to run. Needed to get away. Her hands reached behind her to touch the pole behind her. THe surface was cold and icy. The chill burned her fingers. She was using the pole to keep her still. She looked over towards Brooke. Then her eyes looked back at Edward.

Slowly, Ana's head shook as if saying no. The tears were still falling down her cheeks, but softer now. Her cheeks and Nose had gone from the soft pink to a rosy color. "I have to go." Ana said softly before she turned her back and quickly walked away. Once along side the building, she picked her speed up to a run as she headed straight for the forest. SHe had to get away, had to get out of there. Her long brown curls flew out behind her in tendrils as her breathe came out in puffs of visible vapor amidst the newly falling snow flakes that floated softly down from the sky. Her feet made little foot prints in the snow to show where she had laid her feet down with each quick step she made.

Reaching the line of trees that marked the beginning of the forest, Ana didn't slow as she broke through and hit ground that wasn't so covered in snow. She didn't slow, even though she knew not where she was going. She had never been out here before and had no idea where anything was from here. But Still, Anastasia didn't slow. She kept moving, kept running.

Ana had no intention of stopping, until an unseen force made her stop. Hidden in a patch of snow, a root protruded from the ground. Not seeing the root, Ana's foot collided with it and down she fell until her body hit the ground. Her hands broke her fall and her skin became scraped and bled slightly from the palms of her hands. When the rest of her body hit with a thud, Ana's head bounced on the ground, making a slight cut on her forehead that also began to well up with warm red blood. Ana didn't get up, didn't try to go anywhere. Instead, she simply curled up on the ground and laid there. It wasn't her bed, but it would do for now as she laid there and cried.

[grace]

Grace was out...The young girl thought she was sleeping and having some weird dream. All she heard was bits and pieces of the conversations. She opened her eyes every once in a while but could only see blurrs....She just wanted to sleep and maybe she would wake up and realize it was all just a nightmare. "Hello to you too darling...."."Brooke....Here...Take her home...I don't think I'll be able to sit in the same car with her with in no more than five seconds....Please....""I can't tell you...That's some thing she needs to tell you..." "Yes that's fine." "Grace...Gracie...baby wake up." "What the hell is she talking about? What is wrong with her?" "Hello to you too darling...."."Brooke....Here...Take her home...I don't think I'll be able to sit in the same car with her with in no more than five seconds....Please...." "Hello to you too darling...." "Grace...Gracie...baby wake up." "I can't tell you...That's some thing she needs to tell you..." Everyone seemed to fade then come back..then fade out again. She couldn't make sense of anything because words kept replaying in her mind over and over...like a terrible scratched CD.

"I can't tell you...That's some thing she needs to tell you..." The words replaying again and she let out a small cough when her eyes squinted open...Although she wasn't really awake...just half into subconscious. "don't want to tell...want to sleep." She muttered out, paled face, before falling back into her subconscious. The young girls blood sugar dropped drastically and would need blood soon. She knew her mother would have some ready once the two were to return home but as of now Grace wasn't conscience.

[BROOKE KNIGHT]

Brooke nodded to her husband when he suggested she take Ana home. She then turned to Liv and Grace, "Liv you have to calm down... I am sure Gracie will be okay, she needs something to get her blood sugar back up... And the mumbling like that normally means people are hiding something which we both know is a possibility. If Edward doesn't want to tell you, I can help you there but I prefer you not attack my husband to get it out of him... Grace will tell you when she is ready..." then Brooke saw Ana make an escape, running into the forest. She let out a sigh as she smelled the girl's blood faintly, "Now... If you'll excuse me..." the brunette muttered and she quickly followed after the human the Cullen's had adopted.

She found her in a flash, it wasn't difficult to follow the smell of blood after all. And lucky for Ana the vampire that came to rescue her had spent sixty-four years without human blood and had never even tasted it so she was perfectly content keeping it that way. "Sweetie... I promise not to hurt you..." She said as she knelt down beside the girl, "Just let me clean up you blood and bring you back to your home. I am sure Esme is worried about you..." Brooke told her. She was correct too because she knew Esme would be impatiently pacing the house until Ana was brought back home. "I just want to help." she reassured her calmly.

[OLIVIA THORNE]

"I can't tell you...That's some thing she needs to tell you..."

[/i] This still didn't calm Olivia's furry, it only made it worse. The only reason she hadn't started going on a rampage was because of her sleeping daughter in her arms. Even if she screamed though, it didn't seem like she would budge anyways. "don't want to tell...want to sleep." her daughter whispered. Olivia came prepared, knowing Grace hadn't eaten in a few hours but she wasn't expecting all this. She pulled out a flask from her back pocket, she always kept blood on her for times like this. Nudging Grace she opened the flask and handed it to her. "Drink up baby, this will have to do until we get home." she said softly as she placed the flask up to her lips. Once Grace had a grip on it her attention quickly turned back to Edward, her mood switching from mother love to serial killer in seconds. "Well then tell me this," she growled, taking a step closer to Edward. Her face had twisted and the look in her eyes screamed 'Maniac killer'. "Why the hell would your 'sister'," she emphasized the word with air quotes, "be scared of a small child. Is she one of those 'special' people? Did Esme apparently open up a Home for the Disabled?" she said as sarcastically she possibly could be. His feelings or anyone elses did not matter, only Grace's and it had seemed they had been hurt. Olivia was in killer mother mode and it would take alot more than a simple 'I can't tell you..' to satisfy her.

Her demonic eyes shot back down to the ground when a whimper was heard from the human. "I have to go." she muttered, her voice shaky and masked her words and blurred them in with her sniffling. She quickly shot up and ran off, turning the corner and out of their sight. Olivia's instincts to chase the girl and wring her little neck like a soaking towel was starting settle in but she resisted. Not only would Grace be upset, Edward and Brooke would be too. But oh how she wanted to make that girl suffer....She would think twice about pissing off a mother lion by hurting her cub. "Liv you have to calm down... I am sure Gracie will be okay, she needs something to get her blood sugar back up... And the mumbling like that normally means people are hiding something which we both know is a possibility. If Edward doesn't want to tell you, I can help you there but I prefer you not attack my husband to get it out of him... Grace will tell you when she is ready..." her friend said to her but her fire hot eyes never left Edward. She was right, Grace would need food soon. But she was not going to calm down until she knew her baby was alright and that human girl was dealt with. "Now... If you'll excuse me..." Now it was the three of them and Olivia's eyes never left Edward. In a steady pace she tapped her foot as if she was growing impatient. "Well, tell me. When did the Cullen family start taking in humans? Humans that cry at the sight of a child? Doesn't she live with vampires or is she dumber than I thought? Next thing you know you'll have a sign hanging over your door saying 'Home for Challenged Humans'."[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[edwardcullen]

"I have to go." After he saw Ana run away he was crushed. Beyond crushed. That he has let himself slip again. And with his own sister. When Brooke ran away to catch Ana, Edward remained where he was. Beating himself up inside his mind. He couldn't draw blood. But in his mind he was drawing blood from a clone self of himself. His eyes were redder than before when Ana was here...

"Liv you have to calm down... I am sure Gracie will be okay, she needs something to get her blood sugar back up... And the mumbling like that normally means people are hiding something which we both know is a possibility. If Edward doesn't want to tell you, I can help you there but I prefer you not attack my husband to get it out of him... Grace will tell you when she is ready..."

"Well then tell me this," "Why the hell would your 'sister'," "be scared of a small child. Is she one of those 'special' people? Did Esme apparently open up a Home for the Disabled?" "Well, tell me. When did the Cullen family start taking in humans? Humans that cry at the sight of a child? Doesn't she live with vampires or is she dumber than I thought? Next thing you know you'll have a sign hanging over your door saying 'Home for Challenged Humans'."

If you paid attention you'd see the dents Edward made in the side of his car where his hands were pressured against. Edward moved his lips and tightened them when Olivia said that. He was trying his best to not to let his anger to get even worse. Edward could smell the blood from what Olivia pulled out. He tried his best. He tried more than any one knew. To not loose control. Especially with a little kid here...Edward knew that attacking her mother would not be the best idea...But he so wanted to! "Don't bring my family in to this...And Ana is my sister rather you like it or not. Since you like to push my buttons, then I will not tell you what Gracie is hiding from you...You don't deserve to even have a child being a human killer yourself! How can you even call yourself a mother?!" He said with a sharp angry voice at Olivia...

Edward kept his distance from Olivia and Gracie. This was not the Edward everyone loved. He was changing. But no one knew what it was like when Bella left him....He would never be able to live on with out her. And now that he met Brooke, he was trying to live for her. It was really hard for him. He promised Bella he would never be able to live in a world with out her...And now he was...And it was eating him alive! Even with Brooke by his side. Edward knew he was going to get slapped or worse by Olivia now. This being a time where Ana was still a fresh member of the family, Edward was still thinking he was being replaced. Edward was married to Brooke. But he was only married to her for about a week.

[anastasia90]

Ana had no way of knowing what would happen to her. Didn't know if anyone would come for her. She just curled up in a tight ball and started crying. The sobs wracking her body and making her tremble. She hated this. Hated the unknown. Part of her wished she had died back in Italy. Maybe then she wouldn't be tortured so. She wanted to turn back the clock. tell her parents not to take the vacation to that one god awful place of nightmares. Maybe she could convince them to go to Paris or London. That would be nice. She would live a normal healthy happy life. Back before she knew monsters existed and everyday was uncertain if she would survive.

She laid still in her ball as she heard footsteps approaching. She had no idea who it was. She curled up tighter and closed her eyes. Hopefully whoever it was would leave her be. No such luck. But at least it was Brooke. Brooke had been nothing but nice to her since coming to Forks. Ana liked Brooke. She looked up at the woman with tear filled eyes. "I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to be in this school." She spoke in tearful sentences as she sat up slowly, the leaves and dirt clinging to her clothing as a small drop of blood ran down from her forehead. "I want to go home. Please, just take me home." SHe pleaded and crawled over to the female vampire and leaned into her as if she was a child wanting to crawl into their mother's lap. "I'm sorry." SHe spoke softly not even knowing what she was apologizing for.

[BROOKE KNIGHT]

Brooke nodded, "I'll get you home." she promised. With a little pressure applied to the humans head the French vampire had managed to get the blood to. That however left her with a blood stained hand, she frowned but got the wiped away the rest of the girls red droplets. Blood on her was better than blood on the human after all. She then made a quick but delicate movement and had Ana in her arms. She stood up and began to walk back to the group. 

"Be calm, Anastasia... I won't let anything harm you..." she was referring to her best friend, who likely wanted to kill the girl, and her husband, who's lust for human blood was barely maintained in times that he grew stressed. She stepped back into the Forks High School parking lot and rejoined the group. Without a word to either of them she put Ana in the backseat of the silver Volvo and shut the door gently. She looked back at Edward, Liv, and little Grace asleep in her mothers arms and sighed. "I have to take Ana home..." she muttered, she kept a reasonable distance from them, her blood covered hand was already a slight temptation to her, she couldn't picture how it was for the one who drank it and the one that craved it. She still had Edward's keys in her hand, the question was would she be allowed to leave, could she leave the two Volturi alone without them going at each other throats? She sure hoped so.
