AN: This story was playing around in my head after watching Twilight a few nights ago. The updates will be once or twice a week.
As Emily approached the large house hidden away in the surrounding woods of Forks, she cursed her dad for sending her here. She had just been settling in when he had called to request she pick up her sister, though Emily used the term sister lightly, they were not related by blood or marriage and had never gotten along. It seemed Bella's truck had broken down and she was spending the day with her boyfriend. For all Emily cared Bella could stay here but she knew her father would not appreciate it if she returned without the older girl.
Knocking on the door Emily tried to push away her annoyance and remind herself why she had even come home to Forks. You see Emily was no ordinary human she was a witch. For the last six years she had attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland. Her schooling was anything but normal even by wizarding standards. Each year it seemed she found herself in more dangerous situations as the Dark Lord Voldemort sought to gain power and acquire Emily to stand at his side or kill her in the process. Coming home was her way of stepping away from the violence and giving her farther one last normal summer should she not succeed in her plans for the coming year.
The door before her swiftly opened drawing Emily's attention away from her thoughts. Before her stood a beautiful woman with pale skin and eyes a very rare amber color, so rare she instantly knew what stood before her... a vampire. Her annoyance quickly turned to humor as she realized her dad had forgotten to mention this small detail and was probably laughing as he imagined her reaction to the news.
"May I help you," the woman asked looking a bit perplexed. Emily supposed not many humans ventured to the vampire's door besides perhaps the occasional delivery man.
"Hi, I'm Emily Potter, my father Charlie sent me to pick up my sister Bella."
"I didn't realize Bella had a sister," the woman frowned slightly, "my name is Esme won't you come in."
Esme opened the door wider to allow Emily entry. The home itself was incredibly open, not something Emily would expect from Vampires who lived among humans. She supposed their house was hidden enough that it allowed them more freedom and if they were somehow exposed the human would stand no chance of leaving the premises anyway.
As Emily entered a large sitting room she was greeted by several stoic vampires, all in various positions attempting to look natural but to her they were failing. She already knew their secret but had no want to put any of them at ease for the moment. A blonde man with shoulder length hair titled his head slightly and smirked as if he too felt her amusement. A pixie looking girl sat stiffly next to him with a slightly dazed look on her face and Emily got the distinct impression that while she was physically present, mentally she was elsewhere for the moment. Esme made her way over to the third occupant of the room, he had short blonde hair and the same amber eyes as the others. He stood next to the fireplace and smiled at her. He seemed more relaxed than the others and Emily guessed he most likely spent more time around humans than the rest of his coven.
"Emily, this is my husband Carlisle and two of our children Jasper and Alice. We have two more, Emmett and Rosalie, who went camping a few nights ago to celebrate their recent graduation, we expect them home quite soon. Our youngest is Edward, he went on a hike earlier. He didn't tell us Bella was going with him but I guess perhaps we shouldn't be surprised." This earned a low scoff from the male blonde she now knew to be Jasper, his face quickly turned impassive at the look of disapproval on Esme's face.
Carlisle laughed drawing Emily's attention to him, "They are always together it seems, but whom might you be?"
Emily wanted to roll her eyes at the ploy, she had studied enough about vampires to know that anyone in the house had heard her speak to Esme at the door. She also knew that the vampires in the house were the muggle kind, while ultimately more dangerous than the well known magical vampire they had very little knowledge if any of the magical world and she wasn't feeling up to a big game of show and tell today. "I'm sorry to intrude but my father is Charlie Swan, he informed me that Bella needed a ride home since her truck is being fixed."
"I wasn't aware Chief Swan had another daughter but why don't you sit down while we wait for Edward and Bella to return from their hike."
Emily nodded her head and chose to sit in the white leather chair across from the couch where Jasper and Alice sat. She noticed Alice appeared to have finally come out of whatever trance she had been in and began to frown seemingly unsatisfied with whatever she had been focused on.
"Dude, who has the Audi Q5 outside?" Emily looked over at the door as a huge muscular vampire entered the room with a large smile on his face. He threw himself onto the other end of the couch his "siblings" were on as a gorgeous blonde woman followed him into the room sitting herself daintily on his legs.
"That would be me," Emily offered raising her hand slightly.
"And who are you?" the blonde sniffed. She reminded Emily of Draco when he was playing his role as the proper Malfoy scion. She shook her head before her thoughts could drift too far on her best friend. They both had a part to play and for the moment she had to trust that all was well and focus on the present.
"Rosalie," Esme chastised the woman. "This is Emily she is Bella's sister."
"No offense but I don't see the resemblance and Bells has never mentioned you before..." the oversized vampire announced. While Esme looked scandalized by his words and quickly called out his name. Emily waved off her worry. She could tell the man, she now knew to be Emmett, truly hadn't meant it to be rude he just was confused and had spoken before he could think about his words.
"Well I'm not surprised really, Charlie adopted me was I was a baby. My parents had been killed and having been recently abandoned by Renee he took me in seeing as I was the child of two of his closest friends. Bella and I are not related in any way."
The women seemed sad at her announcement but Emmett still seemed confused, "If the Chief adopted you why haven't we met you before?"
This time no one tried to stop Emmett's questioning and instead looked at her curiously. "My parents were English and met when they attended the same boarding school. It was their wish that I would one day attend their alma mater as well. When I turned 11 my father sent me off for my first year. The last two years I have had to remain in England over summer vacation and my father would visit me there. This summer I decided to come home and spend as much time with him as I could before I go back to finish my final year of schooling."
Carlisle nodded, "I spent my childhood in England, I remember for some families boarding schools were a very big part of their traditions."
"So you're our age?" the pixie girl asked leaning forward.
Emily laughed which seemed to only confuse those around her, she highly doubted her age even came close to the others in the room. "I'm sorry, I'm 16. I'll be 17 on July 31st. I'm a year younger than Bella."
"But you said you were starting your final year of school..." Alice pressed.
"Schooling is different in England." Emily said with a slight shrug. It was true, she wasn't lying, of course the school system was different they just didn't need to know how different her education truly was.
There seemed to be an awkward pause as no one really knew what to say next. Luckily they were interrupted when they were joined by another vampire entering the room from the double doors to the right of the fireplace. He had a coppery color to his hair and his eyes were a lighter amber then the rest of his family, Emily could only guess he had recently fed. His attention moved from her to Carlisle before his body tensed and his face held a scowl.
Esme smiled at Emily and introduced the newcomer, "This is our son Edward though it seems as if Bella is not with him."
"No, she's not." His words were almost growled out.
Emily was confused by his behavior but brushed it off maybe he wasn't comfortable around most humans. "Well do you have any idea where she might be because she told my father she was coming here..."
"The reservation," he bit out. Saying the words seemed to enrage him further, his hands balled into tight fists so tight Emily was sure his hand might crack under his own strength.
Deciding it best if she left now that Bella was not here she stood from her seat. "Thank you for letting me come in while we waited but I think I'm going to head home now."
"Alright dear, if you head to the reservation you'll likely find her at the Black's," Esme said walking towards her.
"If Bella is on the reservation then she will be finding her own way home," Emily said without thinking and instantly regretted it as every eye in the room looked at her strangely even Edward seemed to relax a bit confused by her statement.
"Do you not like the reservation? A lot of the locals enjoy the beaches down there."
Emily smiled at Esme and decided to give the vampires a little bit of the truth, "I am sure you are aware of the dangers the reservation holds. I refuse to be around those dogs."
"At least someone has some sense," Rosalie muttered causing Emily to smirk as she turned and headed to the door leaving some very confused vampires behind her.
As the door shut behind the human the vampires all remained still, listening as she made her way to her car and drove off.
"She knows about the wolves," Edward said perplexed still staring at the spot the girl had been standing in. He had heard his family caution him on his approach to the house that a human was there claiming to be Bella's sister. While the girls both had dark hair Edward couldn't really see any similarities other than... "I can't read her mind either."
"Odd, the girls are not related by blood, Emily claims to have been adopted by Charlie." Carlisle stated. How strange that they both can block you, it is obviously not a genetic trait they share... Is the silence the same?
Edward shook his head, "No, Emily's mind is not completely silent I hear faint hissing..."
"Do you think she knows about us?" Emmett asked pulling everyone's attention away from Edward and Carlisle. "I mean if she knows about the wolves then she could easily know what we are."
Everyone froze, could the human have known what they were? She had seemed so calm surely she wouldn't have been so if she knew their true nature.
"She won't go to the reservation because she knows what they are, why then would she willingly sit here with us?" Jasper reaffirmed hoping to calm everyone in the room down. Their fear had spiked at the thought of a human knowing their true nature which amused him to some degree because hadn't they already thrown that rule out the window when Edward revealed himself to Bella a few months ago.
Edward growled in warning at his brother, "She guessed I didn't tell her."
"But you didn't separate yourself from her, you kept hanging around her which only encouraged her. You could have let the van kill her and be done with it, instead you chose to reveal yourself and us."
Edward rushed at the empath who quickly stood ready to fight. The hit never came though as Rosalie stood and crossed in front of Jasper to get to the stairs giving Edward a shove before he could reach their brother. As Edward flew into the wall cracking the plaster with the impact the room was stunned into silence at Rosalie's pronouncement, "I like her."
As Emily pulled up to her house she noticed the cruiser sitting out front and got excited. Parking her new car in the driveway she ran to the door where her dad was already waiting and threw herself into his arms. She hadn't seen him for months and she relished being in his strong arms far away from England and the rest of her worries.
"Missed you kiddo," he whispered kissing the top of her head.
"I missed you too," she said giving her dad one more tight squeeze before releasing him.
"Fancy new ride you got there," Charlie whistled in appreciation before leading Emily back into the house.
"You know Draco, he wanted to help me pick out a car and he just doesn't understand how not to do flashy. This was the compromise we came up with and I actually really like it."
Chuckling Charlie nodded his head in understanding. His daughter's best friend had always been given the best in life and he sometimes wondered how the boy would fair in this modest muggle town, perhaps one day he would visit with Emily and he could watch his reaction first hand. "How is Draco?"
The smile on Emily's face disappeared, "He's gone silent for the next few days. We had to say goodbye on the train, Cissa is supposed to contact me through the mirrors to update me soon. She's allowed more freedom than he will be for a while."
"So you kids are really going through with your plan?"
"We're not really kids dad, it's not like we are fighting off trolls in bathroom anymore the dangers are far more formidable now."
"Trolls were dangerous enough," Charlie grumbled as he settled into his favorite chair. His daughter seemed amused with him even laughing a bit as she curled up on the couch. She would never understand that it didn't matter how old she got she would always be a child to him. He knew she was no longer the baby he had flown to England to retrieve, quite the contrary she was an incredibly smart and beautiful girl who likely had boys falling at her feet but it didn't change his mind that she would never be old enough to face the evil she continued to face year after year. "I guess I just wish there was a way I could help you, and don't think I don't know you haven't told me everything. Things are much worse then you let on I'm guessing."
"I can't tell you everything for your safety. People may not know where I disappear to when I'm not at Hogwarts but that doesn't mean they won't ever find out."
Deciding to table the discussion for now Charlie just shrugged, "Well where's your sister?"
"Not with the vampires Mr. Sneaky..."
"I couldn't help myself, I'm guessing you pretended not to know what they are."
"Of course but the real question is does Bella know what they are, her boyfriend seemed quite upset when he realized she must be at the reservation."
"The wolves hate the vampires, it's been a problem between Billy and me since they moved back to Forks. Bella has to know after her little stunt right before prom but I doubt she's discovered the Quileute's secret. She spends most of her time down there when she's not with the Cullens."
"Well she can have the mutts," Emily yawned as she pulled the blanket off the back of the couch to cuddle into. She had flown on a muggle plane to try to throw off anyone who could possibly be looking for her. Muggle transport would be the last way people would expect her to travel but in having to do so she was facing jet lag. She would need to brew some pepper up potion to help her as her body readjusted to the new time zone in the morning.
"Why don't you take a nap kiddo," Charlie said reaching for his remote. "I'll wake you when the pizza gets here."
Emily couldn't help but smile. Pizza was a treat she only ever got when with her dad, it was certainly not a popular food among the wizards. She pumped her fist in excitement before cuddling deeper into the couch when her father announced he even had diet coke in the fridge for her. She had really missed being home.
Emily laid on the fur rug in front of her fireplace enjoying the heat it gave off. Dinner had been a quiet affair, her father was annoyed to put it lightly. Bella had called and upon his reminder that Emily had returned home, quickly informed him she would be staying overnight with the pixie looking vampire, she was just having "too much fun". Of course the girl had no idea that her father knew the statement to be false.
Her father had seemed more upset at Bella's silent refusal to welcome her home than the blatant lie she had told him about where she was. If Emily was honest she wasn't surprised Bella didn't rush home to greet her, the girls had never gotten along both resenting the other but for very different reasons. Emily would never forgive Bella for the pain she caused their father over the years and Bella would never forgive Emily for "taking her place". Each felt slighted and the less they saw of each other the better.
Hearing a peck at the window Emily stood to let in her owl. To others it must seemed odd to have an owl for a pet but to Emily Apollo was a great companion. "I set up your perch by the bookshelves. There's a few treats and some water waiting for you."
As Apollo flew over to his perch Emily swore she saw movement in the trees that lined the back of the house. Her father had warned her that Edward had taken to staying with Bella as she slept at night. The two thought the man had no idea but they seemed to forget old houses creek and that their voices could still be heard through the thin old walls.
Shaking her head Emily closed the window and reapplied the silencing charms. While Bella may forget simply facts, Emily did not and being a witch certainly helped her to keep sounds she made restricted to her own room while still being able to hear the sounds made from outside of it. She didn't fancy waking her dad if she had one of her nightmares, plus with the time difference it was likely she would be making many late night mirror calls with Cissa to keep her updated on the situation in England. Knowing her father he would likely attempt to eavesdrop, not because he didn't trust her but because he worried for her safety. Something she worried just as much about for him, he may not like how vague she was with him at times but it was for his own good.
As Emily moved to climb on her bed she heard the telltale creek of the window opening in Bella's room and almost laughed out loud before an idea struck her. Opening her bedroom door she silently made her way to the room where the vampire stood glaring at the empty bed.
"She's not coming home tonight."
Startled Edward seemed to fight the urge to jump out the window not wanting to give away his abilities most likely Emily assumed. "She's likely staying with the Blacks, though when she called she claimed to be with your sister." Other than the darkening of his eyes the vampire made no move to talk or leave the room. She almost felt a bit of pity for the boy perhaps she should toss him a bone. "Oh Merlin, come on, if you are going to stand in the house pouting all night why don't you do it in my room so my father doesn't find you and attempt to burn you for being in Bella's room after dark."
Turning and heading back to her room she wasn't sure if the vampire would follow but a few minutes later he walked in her room only to freeze as he looked around himself in shock, "How..."
"Magic," Emily replied from where she sat on her bed giving him a little wave with her fingers. She was rather enjoying the poor boy's confusion. Her room was a wonderful feat of magic far too large for the size of the house and Emily had even added her own bathroom, she didn't really fancy the idea of sharing one with her dad and Bella. She was rather pleased with her charm work. The walls were a dark grey in color with white crown molding, she had a large stone fireplace and a very large wall of black bookshelves which housed the many magical tomes she had collected over the years.
"I... but magic's not real."
"Maybe to you but it's very real to me," she teased pointing her finger at the abandoned book on her floor, instantly it rose off the floor and glided to her. Grabbing it she placed the book on her bedside table winking at the dazed vampire as she did so.
"You knew, earlier today, you knew what we were and said nothing. Just now I followed you because you mentioned he'd burn me..."
"Very astute Edward, though I thought I had given myself away there at the end with my dog comment."
"Does Bella know about... this," the vampire seemed to be struggling to get a handle on what he was being shown.
"No and she never will. It's not her place and it is against our laws to inform muggles of what we are."
"But she's your sister."
Emily laughed at the statement, "Bella and I are barely acquaintances. She came for a few weeks each summer when we were little before she started refusing to come at all. She said if my father wanted to see her he could leave me at home and take her someplace warm, she vehemently hates Forks... and me," she added with a shrug. "Dad refused to leave me alone which meant we never saw her except for the few trips to Phoenix we made over the years. When she moved up here a few months ago dad was shocked and I was away at school."
"That doesn't... it just doesn't sound like her." The vampire seemed to sink into sitting on the edge of her bed still warily looking around as if he was trying to accept what he was hearing. "Does Charlie know?"
"This would be a really hard secret to keep from someone who raised you, if he hadn't already known he knew for sure the first time I turned his mustache pink and summoned my bottle to myself." Edward looked at her in slight disbelief but all she could do was smile. She still turned his mustache pink at times, it was a prank she would never get tired of no matter how old she was. Pointing her finger at the vampire she then instructed him to go look in her bathroom mirror.
She followed after him leaning against the door frame and laughing as the once copper headed boy ran his fingers through his bubblegum pink hair. "It suits you."
Throwing her a slight glare in the mirror the vampire turned his attention back to his head. "This is crazy..."
"Yes well the same could be said about your very existence as well," Emily teased before returning the boy's hair back to its normal hue of copper and returning to her room. When Edward came back after a few moments she patted the space next to her on the bed inviting him to join her.
"Is magic how you knew what we were?" Edward asked as he sat on her bed as she had motioned him to do and faced her.
"I've studied magical creatures of all kinds, but yes at school I was taught about vampires. I have even met a few though they've all been magical, I've never met a muggle vampire before today."
"Muggle vampire?"
"Meaning you had no magic before being turned. You are much more durable then your magical counterparts though, unlike them you do not need sleep, you cannot eat any food, your eyes change color based on your blood source and you are not weakened by the sun you simply sparkle." He seemed to nod his head in understanding and Emily wondered if he had ever encountered a magical vampire before.
"Is magic why you don't smell like food? You smell appealing but I have no desire to drain you." Edward quickly looked at his hands in his lap, Emily was certain if he could the vampire would be blushing at referring to her as a meal. "I apologize that was rather blunt of me."
"I'm not offended," Emily said reaching out and covering the vampire's hands. "Believe me people have said far worse things to me. Being categorized as a possible meal doesn't even make the list. It's only natural for you, you're main food source is blood and from what I understand magical blood is like no other to taste. At least if Sanguini is to be believed my blood would give you an incredible high while filling you up far faster than a mere human could. I honestly don't have an answer though for why I don't smell like your next meal."
Emily worried about the vampire as he continued to stare at her hand resting on his. Suddenly she found her hand resting in his own as he began to pay with it. "You don't feel too warm to me. It's almost as if we are the same temperature..."
Giggling Emily looked the vampire in the eyes, "You are going to get sick of this answer but it's my magic. Magic runs through my very veins intertwining with everything that makes me who I am. It is an energy, a force within me that can build and cause great destruction or great peace."
"Is magic how you knew I was in the house?" he teased not letting go of her hand.
"No you simply seem to forget that old houses make noises and the windows creek when opened." Edward shook his head and smirked before it turned into a frown, once again the vampire appeared seemingly confused as he tried to examine the back of her hand more closely.
"What's this?" Edward was running his fingers over the back of her hand, she instantly knew what he spoke of. She used glamours to hide some of her scars from her father, he didn't need to know just how greatly she had been injured over the years but clearly Edward being more in tune with his senses than her father could feel the scars that were permanently carved into the skin. Sighing she twitched her right hand and allowed her glamour to drop. "I must not tell lies... who would do this?"
"A teacher and I had a disagreement on how we viewed the world back in my fifth year. As punishment she assigned me detentions, this was the outcome of those nights spent in her office."
"A teacher did this to you?"
"It's a very long story, my life is not a simple one by any means. I would however appreciate if you kept the knowledge of this scar to yourself not even my father knows it's there. It's for his own peace of mind that he doesn't know too much, it is already so hard on him knowing he cannot protect me the way he wishes he could because he lacks magic."
Nodding the vampire shocked Emily by bringing her hand up to his lips to lightly kiss the scars. Emily felt a shock run through her as his lips touched her skin, looking into the vampire's eyes she found herself entranced. Neither one of them looked away instead they seemed to be drawn to each other both leaning in until their lips met. Slowly Emily allowed her eyes to close. Raising up onto her knees to get closer to the forever teen Emily wound one of her hands into his hair the other gripped his muscular arm as it encircled her waist holding her body tight to his.
Emily was losing herself, a part of her realize she should be pushing the vampire away, that whatever was happening was some odd form of magic at work but in her selfishness she wanted the closeness of another being if only for the night. She had been through so much this past year including watching her lover die, she needed this moment and she craved to feel Edward's skin against her own.
In the blink of an eye she suddenly found herself laying back on her bed, the covers tossed aside and Edward balanced over her. Arching her chest into him she turned her head and led his lips to her neck. He seemed to pause briefly before sucking lightly on the skin causing her to moan. She reached for the edge of his shirt and started to pull it up, realizing what she wanted Edward ripped the shirt from his back and tossed it to the floor. Her own nightgown was soon to follow. His lips recaptured hers as he pressed his body against hers. She couldn't take it she needed to feel him, with a wave of her hand the rest of their clothing was banished to the floor.
Edward froze above her, she could almost see in eyes his internal struggle. Moving her hands she held his face as she spoke, "You won't hurt me, I'm not as fragile as a normal human." When he didn't move she leaned up to kiss his lips then his cheek and whispered into his ear, "Please Edward, I need you, please don't stop now."
Laying back she moved a bit causing Edward to groan above her, his eyes darkened to black pools and whatever resistance he had seemed to vanish as he lowered his head to kiss her again. Her back arched causing her to call out as he entered her. She gripped tightly to him as he moved within her. As they both came undone Emily was slightly aware enough to be glad she had silencing charms on her room, Edwards loud roar could have woken the whole neighborhood. Tapping his back lightly to make him less heavy Emily encouraged him to stay laying on top of her as he gathered unneeded breaths with his head tucked into her neck.
She could feel her eyes getting heavy as Edward finally rolled off of her and pulled her into his chest. With one last swish of her wrist the covers flew back onto the bed to cover the two as Emily allowed herself to answer Morpheus' call.
Ok guys don't hate me, next chapter we get to see Emily interact with Jasper for the first time on a one on one basis. She will also have her first update with Cissa giving you a little more insight into what is happening in England. This story will continue through the whole 7th year and the back story will be closer to that of my story Emily and Harry Potter a Chance for Change. Hope you guys enjoyed this first chapter :)
