WITH HIS NAME UP ON the dumb-ass plaque , everyone was aware of the death of her brother , allowing most to be naive about her bloodshot eyes , believing it was from crying while the woman was intoxicated almost twenty four hours a day. sleep was rare , her reflexes were shot & her stomach was only filled when she managed to hit that point in her high that she could stomach the idea of food. sitting at the bar , a glass of cold soda resting in front of her while eyes scanned the sheet , she looked towards the woman close by as her petitie frame leaned closer towards her. ‘‘ think the mozza sticks are any good ? or should i just bite the bullet and get the stupid burger ? ’’ / @aureliareid

With a numb sort of feeling Aurelia was only in the bar because she couldn’t think of where else to be. Her sister was supposedly dead and she wasn’t really sure how to feel about it. There was nowhere she needed to be so she had ended up in a familiar place from life before her vampirism. As the other girl spoke she turned to face her and saw the grief on her face but also caught an unfamiliar scent coming off of her. “The food here has always been pretty good. I’d say go for the mozzarella sticks. Doesn’t sound much like you want a burger to me.”

THE IDEA OF BEING HAPPY WAS FOREIGN TO minnie at this point. she was three tragedies behind being happy. ❝ there’s a difference between feeling betrayed and guilty and being mad. ❞ she didn’t want to have this conversation, she wanted to go back. she wanted her sister back. she walked in and stood around. she didn’t want to sit, she didn’t want to do anything but talk to rae. she gestured to the couch. ❝ i guess it’s time for us to start at the beginning. ❞

“It’s not like I chose this, Minerva,” Aurelia answered briskly unable to hold back at the mention of betrayal like this was somehow her fault. The gesture to the couch was sorta dismissed as she perched on the arm of it but didn’t get comfortable. “The beginning? Like you want to hear about the night our parents died and the vampires took me,” she prompted though the question was mostly rhetorical.

“Well they came in without warning. They went straight for the kill but I did hear some snippets of conversation. Something about revenge for the ones they had felled. They actually intended to kill me in front of our parents but the one who came for me smelled my blood. It could tell that I was already dying and that speeding the process was useless since mom and dad had already spent their time watching me die. Instead they would kill them and let them know they had left me alone to die slowly but that was all talk. Once they were dead the vampire took me with,” Aurelia explained without pausing for the breath she didn’t really need. There was no point it faking it now.

“They felt pity for me I guess. They wanted to save me and keep me from dying. I can’t begin to explain why but this vampire literally nursed me back to a healthy enough point where they could turn me without me dying immediately. I couldn’t exactly walk my way out of captivity and I didn’t know that I wanted to either. I know you think very lowly of me but consider this. I wanted to live. I had been sick my whole life and I had a chance to be strong. Strong just like you. So perhaps I could have died to stop them but I didn’t.”

Her icy blue eyes met her sisters as if almost daring her to say that she should have just died instead. If Minnie couldn’t understand her then she needed to hear it and she needed to move on and get her own life. The pause was only a fraction of a second before she was off again. “Then I was a newborn with no control. I could have come home immediately and risked freezing you to death,” she rambled as her fingertips frosted over and she formed a ball of ice in her hand as if to show. “Instead of that I stayed away to protect you. I worked and worked until I was in control of everything so I could come back to you. And here I am waiting to see if you can accept that or if I should just leave on my own this time.”

“you told your sister?” the words that had left eris’ lips tasted bitter against her tongue. the topic of aurelia’s sister had filtered into their conversation, leaving eris to shamelessly feel unnecessarily awkward. she didn’t mean for it, the feeling usually just happened on its own. a poisonous flower growing from the dirt. any mention of minnie always did that. not growing up with any family had a way of making eris feel hot with jealousy at the mere mention of anyone who could be deemed closer to her friend. a real sister. eris couldn’t relate to what that truly must have felt like. good or bad. “I mean,” eris tugged on her friend’s arm. her own warm with blood while the other cold, icy without. “did she not freak out when you told her? I suspect she has more opinions about you now. how is she handling everything? is she pissed at you? tell me everything.” the questions spilled out the more they walked, eris unwilling to stop until she got the full story.

“No. In fact I didn’t really want to at all. Just seeing me alive made her angry enough but she saw me at the battle and she figured it out,” Aurelia explained with an exasperated sigh. She felt a lot more tired since she had been back in Forks. It was emotional and overwhelming and part of her just wanted to run away from it all. “Minerva isn’t even exactly pleased to know that I’ve been alive this whole time let alone knowing I am unalive,” she offered her voice questioning as she made up the last word. “Honestly I almost want to let her be angry and just leave. Take you and just be on our way, you know? I feel like she sees this terrible monster looking at me and it would almost be easier to pretend I just am. I’d rather spend my life with people who believe in me.”

he knew she was here when he decided to come. knew he’d get to see his sister soon. when he had gotten emmett’s call, he wasted no time in getting to the town. because he knew he’d fight with emmett any and every time, as well as knowing lia was there. she had come back for her sister, he wondered how that was going. finding her was easy, she was sitting outside ‘ reading ’ when he started to approach her. it was when she noticed him that he smiled. a real genuine smile that was save for only a handful of people. the male knew she was trying to seem calm, for his sake, it amused him. “ yeah, me showing up in the middle of chaos, shocker. ” he laughed.

Once Jaxon smiled back at her Aurelia couldn’t hold back any longer and she ran straight for him. “You do have a sense for that, don’t you,” she called out as she wrapped her arms around him in a warm hug. “This place is terrible these days so tell me you’re either going to stay forever or we’re going to turn right around and leave.”

Sitting outside on the patio of a cafe Aurelia was mostly pretending to be absorbed in reading a book. She wasn’t really paying much attention as her thoughts and worries seemed to be swirling around in her head. That last thing she expected when she looked up briefly was to see Jaxon but there he was. Aurelia had to stop herself from jumping right out of the chair and running at him. She didn’t want to completely embarrass him by being a total dork. Instead she forced a calm look onto her face or at the very least attempted to do so. Her smile couldn’t be completely held back as she approached him. “Fancy seeing you here,” Rae greeted still attempting to keep her composure but smiling with a childlike glee. @vlntdlghts

aurelia’s condition was still taking eris slowly to get used to. she was still adjusting to certain terms herself. vampires. werewolves. witches. shifters. humans. brown eyes flickered around to various faces of people passing right from under her nose. mortal faces disguising the lot of them. she couldn’t imagine what else was out there. “you can pretend to steal some of my fries, if you want.” eris offered with a look of sympathy and looped her arm with her friend’s the closer they stood in line. “I wish I had more to offer.”

“I would love that,” Aurelia agreed gratefully as she gladly leaned into the familiar touch. Her control around Eris seemed to be rock solid and she never let the cold seep into her skin when they were close. Everything was easier with someone you trusted. Unlike things with her twin sister whom she wasn’t sure she could trust at all. “It’s alright. Just being around you is more than enough. I think I can cut a lot of the acting now that my sister knows anyways. I don’t imagine many other people look that closely at me.”

SHE’D BEEN HOME MAYBE A COUPLE OF HOURS WHEN there was a knock at the door. she needed a shower and a change of clothes then she was back to the bakery. being in the home she shared with her sister still felt so different. she didn’t know how to cope. and that got even worse then the door opened. she pressed her lips into a fine line. ❝ yeah, i guess we do. ❞ she gestured for her sister to enter. then it hit her. a sick feeling filled her stomach. ❝ i mean—come in. ❞ she hated the idea of having to let her sister inside. god, she wasn’t human. no, worse—she’d died.

Awkwardly aware that a gesture probably wouldn’t grant her the permission to enter the house Aurelia was glad she didn’t have to say anything since Minnie spoke a moment later. It still wasn’t easy to move into the house that she hadn’t been in since watching her parents die but she forced herself to move. “I’m sure you aren’t happy with me,” Aurelia prompted even more unsure of what to say now that she was here. “Not that you have been since I came back.”

“soooo,” the spring of eris’ sing-songy voice was closing in the closer she got to the other person in line, her eyes flickering between the food truck’s bright overhead menu and their’s. a smile pulling at her lips. “what are you thinking of getting?” a curious question for a curious girl. “I’m thinking tacos, you know, a little something spicy to offset the bad ending everyone’s going to go through towards the end of the movie, but pizza sounds really good too! I wish they had fried oreos. I’d kill for one of those right now!”

The familiar voice immediately made Aurelia stand a bit taller as she looked to see where Eris was. She always felt better with her best friend at her side. Upon hearing her question Aurelia pouted playfully. “Are you trying to make me jealous? I was just grabbing some water seeing as food doesn’t exactly benefit me anymore and all that,” she replied softly so only Eris could hear. Forks was a highly aware vampire town but that didn’t mean she wanted to shout what she was to the world. “I could get something though. If you want to share a spread I don’t mind eating. I usually do it anyways since I can and it gives the whole appearance of normality.”

They had seen each other on the battlefield and unless Minnie believed Rae had somehow developed super strong witch powers then she had probably figured it all out. Aurelia knew that it was time for them to talk it out or maybe even scream if they followed the same pattern they had been on thus far. She also knew that she had to go to Minnie and at least try to explain. Her path eventually took her to her sister’s home despite many detours to avoid it and she raised her hand to knock. As the door opened she took a deep breath before speaking. “I think we need to talk.” @chvrmion

Eli smiled at her choice of words. “Like two peas in a pod.” He repeated with a small laugh. “Yeah, it’s weird. i’ve only been out of town for two weeks. I didn’t know so much could happen in such a short amount of time. I hope not too much has gone wrong for you.”

When he agreed Aurelia felt a tiny spark of relief knowing that she hadn’t been too awkward. “I haven’t been in town for years. I can’t say coming back has gone well. It’s been stressful and overwhelming.”

“just be careful.” ( from violet ! )

The words were familiar ones that Aurelia heard often but coming from Violet they meant more. Violet had always been there for her and actually cared. That was something she could count on and it brought a smile to her lips as she pulled Violet into a hug. “I will. Don’t you know by now that careful is my middle name,” she teased as she pulled back to look at Violet. “I’ll be back safe and sound before you can even miss me. Promise.”

EVER SINCE THE FULL MOON, she’s been somewhat avoiding aurelia. had she heard what happened to minnie ?? if so, was she mad ?? it seemed like there was only one way to find out. it had already been so long with her disappearance, violet didn’t want to push her away. she wanted to spend time with her and catch up on all the things she’d missed. that’s why she’s standing on her doorstep, knocking a few times and waiting patiently. she almost brought pizza before realizing that wasn’t in her diet anymore and she didn’t want to bring blood.

The knock on the door surprised Aurelia since she wasn’t expecting anyone but she wasn’t doing anything so she was quick to answer. Seeing who it was made her eyes light up as she smiled. “Violet! Hey! It’s so good to see you. I’ve been meaning to call but coming back from the dead is pretty exhausting emotionally. Did you want to come in?”
