Hi, it's . This is my first published fan fiction. Please tell me what you think, constructive criticism is wondermous. Anything about Port Arthur I get wrong, don't get mad at me, it's like one of the rainiest cities in Texas. I think that's it, enjoy.
************************************************************
"You who blindly searches, are a dreamer, yet not among the clouds, that flirtatious dream you hold, where are you headed with it?" I translated aloud from my favorite song, it was entitled 'Yasashii Yoake.' This was for a project for school.
"Searching for the key to open twilight, I cry, Unable to reach the moon's shadow. Where am I going?" I continued, this song sounded like me. I was searching for….for him. Alec. The one I truly cared for, with all my heart. I could stare him in the face right now. He had decided to go to school in Port Arthur, Texas with us, the Cullens. Well, Aro had told him to, to make sure Bella was changed. After she was changed Alec was allowed to stay until graduation.
"Even though secrets are lost in our eyes, we will never unfasten our arms from each other." I continued, my voice cracking, I disguised it as nerves, even though the person who made me pick this song sat right in front of the podium.
"Pale
moon of January, hide the colors of the sunrise.
The gentle dawn
of a night that should not end." I continued, the night I stayed in
Vultera, I didn't want to end, I had had so much fun with Alec and
the rest of the Vulturi. Italy was so beautiful; I wouldn't have
wanted to leave anyway.
"Because
of love's heaviness, painfully close,
The heart no longer mine
cried for freedom," were the next line in the song, this part made
tears well up. My heart, or what was left of it cried for freedom,
freedom from the pain of being ripped apart without the perpetrator's
knowledge.
"When
shining things existed only in dark places,
I gazed out the small
window into the distance." My voice cracked, I brought the paper
level with my face. The distance, Vulterra is always in the distance.
Alec is always distant from my feelings.
"Pale
moon of January, sinking into infinity,
the gentle dawn of a love
that should not end." came the almost-end of the song as I forced
it over the lump in my throat. I was uncharacteristically cheerless.
"Pale
moon of January, hide the colors of the sunrise.
The gentle dawn
of a night that should not end." I finished.
"Yasashii Yoake, by See-Saw. 'Yasashii Yoake' means 'Gentle Dawn' in Japanese. Thank you," I added, remembering I needed to credit the song and singer at the end. I then swaggered to my seat and laid my head on my arms, refusing to think about Alec.
Maybe I should back up some. I'm Josephine Hart-Cullen. I say Hart-Cullen because I was Josephine Hart before I was turned by Carlisle. I'm physically 17, meaning I'm a junior at the High School in Port Arthur, Texas. I proudly attend Memorial HS at current. Go Titans! I'm a brunette and currently I have blue highlights, yes it's against dress code, but when you have as much money as the Cullens do, anything can be arranged. My eyes are green, and I'm a mechanics nerd. Volvo sparkplugs are interesting.
I guess you guys should hear about how we ended up in Port Arthur. Well, Edward and Bella got together and all that jazz, so we moved away from Charlie and Renee`. We wanted a rainy city and I wanted to live in Texas, so we picked Port Arthur. Alec, being of the Vulturi guard, came from Vulterra to make sure Bella was changed. Since Alec had enrolled into Memorial High with us, he decided to wait out the rest of the year with us.
That's really how Alec and I ended up in sixth period English together, that's the Reader's Digest version anyway. I glanced at the clock. 'Shit. Class is almost over.' I thought, but, even though I loved this class, Alec didn't have his song prepared, so I was glad he could have another night to practice his song.
