Topic: If you don’t like the hand fate has dealt you….fight for a better one.
Date: ????? Dear Journal I had looked up in shock and I saw him, the man who had changed my life…the man who turned me into what I am today…my maker. He looked exactly how I remembered him. He had long blond hair and crimson eyes his skin was Caucasian, but he was paler because he was vampire, the only thing I could tell was different was his clothing, he wore tight black leather pants and a vest, it was unbuttoned and showed his chest. “Hello my son. ” He spoke his voice full of optimism. I didn’t know what to make of this seeing my maker after two hundred and seventy four years. At first I didn’t know what to say and then I managed to speak “what do you want” I asked him, he chuckled “what any father wants for his son…to see you happy” I didn’t know what to say…actually I knew what I wanted to say…I wanted to tell him that I would never be happy again, that I wanted to die with Sarah…for without her I suffer an agony far worse than death every moment of my existence. I wanted to tell him he is not my father…that he was nothing to me. I decided to ignore the man who had given me immortality and picked myself up, I hovered towards the burned steak “go away you’re no father of mine…you may have given me immortality, but that’s It.” It was to my surprise that I heard his laughter “Oh it is true…kids do say the most peculiar things” his voice had rung inside my head I turned from where Sarah was tied to just moments ago I was going to tell him what I really thought, but he stopped me in my tracks “BRIAN JACOBSON THAT IS ENOUGH YOU WILL BE SILENT” his voice was like the voice of darkness itself, it was commanding and had a powerful presence to it. It was like chills being sent down my back I felt the small amount of strength I have leave me as I floated there in silence. “My son…I know you grieve, you suffer great pain…I…I think it’s time we leave this spot” I was shocked he walked towards me “no” I sobbed at the speed of light he was in front of me he placed his hand on my shoulder and when he let go the scenery was different as soon as I saw the shores I knew where we were…we were home. This was the home where my Sarah and I had some happy memories…granted there is only a few, but in the short time we had together the memories we shared were powerful. This was the place I raised our son. This was my heaven on earth. “Now my son…let’s talk…” He sounded so normal and happy; well I suppose he would be happy he didn’t just lose his soul mate. “why…why did you leave so soon after you changed me” My maker looked at me “Well…my boy it’s rather simple….I served my purpose….after I changed you, and sheltered you during your transformation I knew that I would only be a hindrance…you had to forge your path and do things your way and become a man who was truly free.” Well I had to admit it sort of made sense to me, I had spent my entire life at the point serving others and having no freedom, in a way my life was reliant on my masters they gave me an order and I did it…granted eventually I ran away, that was just the start of my independence and so I realized that maybe if he had stuck around perhaps I would have stayed in that routine. I felt less angry at my maker for leaving me “What is you’re name” I waited for his answer and he watched as he had taken a moment to think about it “I have many names some call me Dracula…others call me Vlad the Impaler” What…that couldn’t be possible my maker was Dracula…“Get out” I uttered in shock watching my maker’s grin grow bigger, this was all so insane…first Sarah and now this…my maker is the legendary Dracula…this is utter madness I was starting to wish I never asked for his name “I know what you’re thinking son and no I have no relation to Bram Stoker or his vampire novel” to be honest I was relieved of that, but freaked out that he knew my thoughts I had a suspicion that he was telepathic like Edward “you’re reading my mind aren’t you” I accused him and again the strangeness in my voice was unfamiliar. Dracula nodded his head “Indeed I am and before you ask you’re next question. I shall answer it for you son…I am the voice you have been hearing” he answered astonishing me with the fact I hadn’t even thought of that question, but now that I did think about it, it would have been my next question “Fine then let me ask this…how are you doing this you’re answering questions I haven’t even thought about yet.” Dracula smiled, which at this point was starting to annoy me, and started to circle me “I am not what you would call a normal vampire... I have an ability known as Omniscience…I Know anything and everything my son…see if I wanted to, I could answer every question you ask without even thinking of it, because I have already foresaw it.” I raised an eyebrow as he circled me “Yeah right” I spoke skeptically. My maker chuckled and stopped “Very well, I shall prove it…You’re going to ask me the following questions. The first did I foresee Sarah’s death well yes I foresaw her death two hundred years before her birth” I didn’t allow him to finish I ran towards Dracula determined to destroy him. when I noticed his face get serious and in a flash I suddenly found myself on the my back with his foot on my chest, he was so fast I didn’t even see him take me down…this was insane, not even Felix is capable of this…it was like Dracula moved at the speed of light. Dracula’s face looked serious for the first time since our encounter and he had an icy cold stare “BAD BOY BAD” he spoke and I felt like a child being scolded for touching a cookie before dinner time. He kept his foot there and I felt the sand. “WHY DIDN’T YOU SAVE HER IF YOU FORESAW IT YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER” I yelled at him in fury, Dracula kept his icy cold stare “It is not my place to get involved in my children’s business…Now.” He answered me and pulled his foot off me and in a flash he had his hand on my shirt and with incredible strength he lifted me up and held me off the ground “I didn’t bring you here to humiliate you my boy…I came here to help you to educate you as my grandson would say…Relax.” He was quoting Tobias which surprised me. I wondered how someone could know anything and everything and then I wanted to ask him that, but he was probably expecting it.”Fine what do you want to educate me in…I just want to get this over…so I can go back to where she…” I couldn’t finish what I was going to say, truth be told I had intended to stay at the place of Sarah’s death for eternity…Edward or Rosalie could take care of Tobias…besides Tobias deserved someone better than me…After all what sort of father could I be when I allowed my son’s mother to die. I watched Dracula's smile return as he lowered me onto the sand “look over there my son” He pointed behind me and at the dock of my beach I saw her…it was Sarah, she stood there in the long white dress she died in, the wind blowing her blond hair back as she had her hands cupped over her heart. “Sarah” I whispered smiling I felt this excitement and joy to see her again. She watched the ocean and to me she looked like an angel “She is at peace now even though she cannot move on to the afterlife” I barely heard Dracula, but when I did come back to my senses I asked him why and his words sent chills down my spine “she gave you an oath Brian…she swore that her spirit would always be with you…that she would be waiting for you at this place for an eternity…she is happy, and at peace.” It was mind blowing to see her there she looked so perfect. “I have a question to ask you, and even though I know the answer…I want to hear it from your words…from your heart…If you could save Sarah from death…would you do it?” he asked me, it was a stupid question “Of course” I answered without hesitation “Even if in the future it would bring Sarah terrible pain and heartache” He asked again, I nodded my head “Yes…Sarah is no stranger to pain, she can take it….and I would be there to mend her heart.” I answered him. I didn’t want to look away from Sarah I was afraid if I did she would vanish, but I had this feeling that Dracula was smiling “well then my son…I have good news for you…Sarah is still alive” I felt something inside me, it was like my heart became lighter I reluctantly looked away from Sarah and looked to Dracula and had both my hands on his vest “Don’t mess with me old man I have had a really shitty day I saw her die in front of me, I heard her screams and smelled her flesh burn…even if what your saying is true why wait till now why not tell me right away” I yelled at him with anger. My maker had just laughed “because like any other father I enjoy messing with my child…Brian what you saw is the future…seven days in the future…well actually five because you have been in the Astral world for about two days now.” I had released Dracula and fell on my knees, Sarah was alive…I had never been happier in my entire life, I looked up at Dracula he knew what I was going to ask…how could I go to the future. “Humans would call your ability Astral projection Brian, with your power you have the potential to be like me to know anything and everything…you could travel to the past…the present and the future and learn from it. But you don’t know how to use your power…so it’s unpredictable…you need to be specific when you use your power my son…take a moment to think what did you say…before you came to the astral plain” he asked me, remaining on my knees I did as I was told and I thought about it…I wanted to be with Sarah because I thought she needed me bad and then I remembered my words “Take me to Sarah, let me be with her for when she needs me the most” I thought to myself and at that moment Dracula has spoken as if he had read my mind “I can’t imagine a moment she would need you more, than the day she is going to die…wouldn’t you agree my son.” I nodded wordlessly. I felt Dracula put his hand on my head “you have the power to free you’re soul from the physical world….with it Brian you can travel through time and space go to any place you desire…and take anyone you want….but you need to be specific Brian….now my son…it’s almost time for us to part…You now know you’re mission…save the woman you love or that will be her fate” he pointed to Sarah at the docks waiting endlessly for me as a spirit, someone incomplete.” I stood up and looked at my maker as his hand traveled from my head to my cheek “one more thing if you manage to save Sarah…you must give her this message…word for word, If you don’t like the hand fate has dealt you…fight for a better one.” I wanted to ask him why, but instead I asked him “wait I thought you knew everything, surely you would know if I succeed” I asked him “Oh I do know, but I am not into giving spoilers away my son…I prefer to keep you in suspense…I know I’m a sadist aren’t I” he spoke with a chuckle “more like a weirdo” I retorted moving his hand away I knew how to get back, I had to focus on returning to my body Dracula had spoken again “Remember son….five days is all you have...use the knowledge you learned here to make a difference” Dracula started to walk away when I yelled out “HEY WAIT WHAT DID YOU MEAN THAT DAY….THAT I WOULD CHANGE THE WORLD OF OUR KIND.” Dracula stopped and turned to face me “I could tell you that son, but wouldn’t it be much more exciting to find out on your own….good luck my son, we will meet again in the future…we still have much to discuss” He answered in my head then he just vanished out of thin air majorly freaky and really annoying he would leave me in suspense. Looking back to Sarah I smiled “I am coming for you baby girl.” I focused on returning to my body and opened my eyes I could see the beautiful stars were out…my pain and my grief washed away with relief and determination according to Dracula I had five days to save her. Brian has learned the truth about his mysterious power Will he be able to change the future? Find out Next time on Brian’s Journal

Topic: I remember back before all this madness began and when My son and I was still at our home at the beach we watched the waves…. My son noticed some birds fly in the sky and then to my surprise he told me this story…there once was a lovebird named Hart and he was a beautiful lovebird, Hart lived in the forest with a large flock of lovebirds and as he grew up from a child he noticed all his friends, fell in love and had bird wives and soon became dominated in the blissful warmth that is called love. Eventually Hart was the only lovebird single within the entire flock, he felt this emptiness in his heart because although his friends and family didn’t shun him, something inside of him was missing and that pain he felt was so intense it devoured him whole and even though he soared the heavens that emptiness was always there. One day Hart had enough, he decided to soar the heavens until he met oblivion. So Hart flew and he flew far from his friends and family and far from his homeland, until he could not fly anymore. After resting and recovering hart was about to continue his quest for oblivion when he heard a the crying of another creature, when hart followed the sound of the crying he came across this beautiful female lovebird named Aphrodite. The moment he saw her everything changed….he had changed because in that very first second he saw her he fell in love with her. Hart had asked Aphrodite what was wrong and she told told him “I am sad, because I am surrounded by people who say they love me, people who call me their friends and even though they say that I feel so alone and so very scared” Hart had understood Aphrodite and so he walked along the branch close to her and he spread his beautiful green wing over her back and spoke “I used to feel that way too until I met you.” Aphrodite was surprised at Hart’s confession and then she realized that the pain she felt…it wasn’t as bad as it used to be and eventually the two loveless lovebirds found love in each other. For the next three months the two lovebirds were inseparable they had found their own piece of heaven within each other’s company proving that the heavens weren’t in the sky that they ruled, but in each others heart. One day as Hart & Aphrodite flew together, until Aphrodite had an arrow shot through her heart and she fell from the sky and landed on a beach not to far from here. Hart had landed beside Aphrodite and saw she was dead. The void Hart felt returned a thousand fold and hart had tried to live without Aphrodite, and even though he tried he could not live without her and twenty four hours later hart had returned to where his beautiful Aphrodite passed on and he joined her in death…. I remembered at the time feeling concern for my son and how morbid the story was and when I asked him “why tell me such a sad story boy” My son looked at me and smiled sadly “For every happy ending father, there must be a sad ending” I believe this Is my sad ending~ Date: ????? Dear Journal, Things seemed to be incredibly fast it wasn’t long after I arrived in Ocean shore, Washington that Bella and Edward returned with the human known as Charlie, with two foul smelling mongrels and a bitch….I believe I am using the right terms…to describe them. they call their species shape shifters or werewolves….they are no true children of the moon that much I can tell you that much.…their human names were Seth, Leah and Jacob. I do not like these creatures much they smell horrible, and what disturbed me was the fact how much my son seems to be getting along with the youngest of the three….Seth Clearwater. The two seems to have become best friends in such a short amount of time; I found it humiliating to watch when after one of their patrol’s Tobias asked if he could pet Seth while he was still in his mongrel’s form….perhaps this peculiar fascination my son has with the mongrel is because I did not allow him a pet when he was a child. Although I did take small comfort in the fact that my son didn’t like Jacob much, and it seemed Jacob did not like my son at all I believe he sees my son as a threat to his relationship with Renesmee, he views my son as a possible rival suitor to her. Rosalie of course keeps trying to separate Renesmee from Jacob seems my son found an alliance with Rosalie and Renesmee seems to be completely oblivious to the contest going on between my son and the mongrel. Tobias will defeat the flea bitten mongrel that much I know after all he is my son. I had tried over and over already to do this out of body experience again so I could get to Sarah, but I couldn’t do it I just couldn’t relax and concentrate at the same time not like I did before everything was so distracting, I could hear my son speaking downstairs asking Seth would he be offended if he asked Jacob to play a game of fetch, while Rosalie snorted a laugh, I could also hear Emmett chuckle and whisper “he is an awesome kid” that alone had me smile of course my son was awesome, he was my son after all he is a brilliant young man intelligent as he is perfect. I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to hold the meeting with Carlisle, Edward, Eleazar and Jacob. So I had left the sanctuary of my room and rejoined them all, I hugged my son and listen to him Grumble “daaaaaaaaad not in front of Nessie…I don’t want nessie to think im a wimp” I chuckled realizing my boy was turning into a man and listened to Jacob speak “Daddies boy” as he had Renesmee wrapped around his arms. “Jacob don’t be mean…besides I like a guy that shows affection to their parents it shows respect” she scolded him as I let go of my son, “wait you do” Jacob spoke surprised, it was that moment that Tobias wrapped his arms around me and spoke “I LOVE YOU DADDY” it had taken everything inside of me not to roar into laughter, I knew what my son was trying to do that sneaky little punk, he was trying to get brownie points with Renesmee. I let go of my son and he lowered his arms I placed my hand on his head as if to pet it, he is a good kid….no he is a fantastic kid. Carlisle and Edward had entered the room and I looked at them and nodded my head and then I sent Eleazar a text message telling him we would be hosting the meeting. It was within moments he and Carmen had entered the house, I had assumed they must have been very close by perhaps somewhere just outside. Edward glanced at Bella whom was speaking to Rosalie and she nodded standing up Bella announced “ok everyone I think its time we play a game of vampire volleyball at the beach Who’s with me” she spoke, everyone including myself was silent and we just looked at her as if she was nuts, Rosalie smiled “too bad we are all going to play” she walked to Jacob and pulled out rubber gloves and pulled them on, she touched Jacob and pulled Renesmee out of Jacobs arms and he had a mixture of a frown/glare aimed at Rosalie. Tobias left my side faster than the flash and was next to Renesmee “oh yeah this is gonna be shweet” he spoke nudging into her and Jacob let out a low growl “not fair” he grumbled, I had ignored Jacob and started to realize that my son’s loyalty to me had only been surpassed to the loyalty of women…I don’t know why, but I had this strange feeling that when my son grew up he would be a shameless flirt…someone that would use a quote like “I hope you're a poetry major because I need some help with my Longfellow” the very thought of that made me face palm…women at least the good kind did not want to be courted like that, it’s just not the way to court a woman at least it wasn’t back in my day….Damn MTV turning all the girls into harlots and loose ho’s. Everyone had left with the exception of Kate and Garrett, which had surprised me “Since they were there I thought they should stay, get their perspective from it.” Before I could say anything Kate had began into the story of how she and Garrett sneaked into the Volturi compound and stolen some spare cloaks and rubbed it over themselves to mask their scent and sneak into the throne room where they retold the start to end and the escape. Including the part where Sarah remained behind to stop them. I had awoken from my stream of thoughts when Carlisle asked me to look at the weapon Sarah had handed me. I pulled out the sheathed weapon “be careful it’s poisonous….Sarah told me the Volturi had intended to use it on your coven she wanted me to warn you and your coven and flee with you.” I spoke quietly. Carlisle’s face was blank for a moment and then he looked as sad as I felt, he was a man filled with compassion “She was truly remarkable woman…she defied the Volturi to protect us all showing, that even one person can make the difference if they try.” I couldn’t stand how he used the past tense so I corrected him “She IS truly remarkable….she isn’t dead yet…I am going to save her” Carlisle had apologized as soon as I had spoken he realized he was in the wrong “we will help you in whatever way we can…you’re Sarah has saved the lives of my family…and Eleazar's family by sharing this with us” He spoke raising the weapon “I will have to study it…to see exactly what this poison is and how it works…” He spoke, it was at this Jacob sat on the floor like the dog he was and folded his arms, I still didn’t understand why Edward insisted that he should be a part of this meeting “can we hurry this up I don’t like it when that brat is around my Nessie” he spoke and quickly added in no offence, but it was too late for that offence was taken. “what’s wrong afraid of a little contest” I asked the dog, Jacob looked at me “he is no contest I just don’t like being apart from Nessie is all after all what if you’re clueless son makes a move on her and makes her feel awkward” that was it I wasn’t going to let some mongrel bad mouth my son “I think you’re just afraid Jacob…afraid that Nessie will realize she has more in common and more of a connection with my son than you ever will and you know what they say is true….once you go fang you never go back, besides shouldn’t you be going out with girls your own age or does statutory rape not mean anything to you’re species.” I barked back at him and Jacob’s skin began to shake for a moment until he breathed in and he calmed down. I could see that Carlisle wanted to stop this, but Edward raised his hand to stop him, perhaps he was amused that two men were fighting about his daughter even though I was fighting on my son’s behalf. “to answer your previous question Jacob, you are hear because of Brian…from what Carlisle has told me and the thoughts I could gather in Brian’s mind…Brian had an out of body experience where his spirit has left his body…I am assuming Brian would like to learn how to use this ability and since You’re people descendants of the spirit chief Taha Aki.” Jacob didn’t let Edward finish when he spoke “yeah but my people can’t do that anymore the magic in our blood is too diluted and the only thing we could do Is shift into wolves.” He interrupted, I was curious as to who Taha Aki was and Edward responded “I am aware of that Jacob…but I was thinking perhaps if you could give us you’re theory of how Taha Aki was able to achive this in the first place. Maybe it could give Brian some pointers how to return to spirit form and maybe understand his ability…..and you know the sooner you tell us the sooner you can go back to Nessie…from the thoughts im picking up Nessie seems to think Tobias is awesome in her words…uh thoughts” Edward had responded. Jacob’s ears perked up “ok then…well my theory is you’re going to have to be surrounded by nature and you will need silence so you can relax your mind…focus on the peace and tranquility that’s pretty much all I can think of…if you excuse me I got to go” Jacob had picked himself up and bolted out of the room, and Edward finished “I forgot to mention she thinks of Tobias as a brother” he had that crooked grin on his face, but it was clear he enjoyed tormenting Jacob, I chuckled “don’t tell Tobias that….it will break his little heart…ok enough joking around…I am leaving” Eleazar was first to speak “what you can’t leave it’s not safe” Edward shook his head “nothing we can say will stop him Eleazar…Don’t worry about Tobias I will watch over him…I have grown very fond of him and the way he thinks so highly of my daughter.” I smiled and thanked Edward and after that I left without hesitation. I left the cabin the Cullen's had rented out and went as far from them all as possible deep into the forest where I laid on the ground and looked up at the blue sky. It was beautiful watching the dark grey clouds, there was a hint of the blue sky occasionally, the trees provided shading, and I watched the tree branches sway as the wind blew, it seemed like the wind was dancing with the trees, I closed my eyes and breathed in that fresh cold wind. “Take me to Sarah, let me be with her for when she needs me the most” I pleaded with myself. I kept my eyes closed and I began to feel lighter than air itself and when I opened my eyes I saw her…Sarah, she was wearing something new this time, a beautiful white dress. She was sitting up and looking at the door “hey babygirl” I spoke knowing she couldn’t hear me. Sarah looked so calm and I listened to her speak “The final hours of my immortality…I know I should feel fear, for I face the unknown…instead I feel relief because soon…I will finally be free, since regaining my memory…no long before that since the Volturi broke Brian and I apart I have felt like a caged bird watching the world from behind these caged bars…as I look towards that door I know that even though my life….my world has been darkness and suffering and god the pain I have endured soon I can spread my wings and fly” she spoke, I didn’t understand what she meant at first and then it hit me “No” I whispered in shock the door opened and Felix came into the room Aro behind him “Come Sarah everyone is waiting for you’re trial.” Aro spoke looking fancy in his suit, Sarah gave a bitter laugh “hah don’t you mean execution” Aro said nothing else and Felix carried her out of the room with Aro following. I ran out of the dungeon and watched in horror “Sarah” I yelled out, but then no one could hear me, I couldn’t follow I had no idea where I was going…I couldn’t even see them anymore…I was only a phantom….I then heard a strange voice “Follow with you’re heart and speak from you’re heart and even then a phantom can make a difference.” The voice was familiar and I looked around trying to see where it came from. I decided to take the voice’s advice I closed my eyes “take me to her…take me to Sarah and where she will be” I spoke out quietly when I opened my eyes I had appeared in a place high up on a roof and the scenery was beautiful.…I knew this place; it was the ruined monastery at Volterra this monastery according to history became abandoned when the crumbling cliffs caused part of it to collapse. I stood on the roof of the monastery and I noticed a lot of cars packed away from the cliffs. normally I would have admired the beauty of the scenery, but I did not come here to view the land, and the ruined monastery, I came to find my baby girl…at first I was confused I thought my power had worked on my desires…I wanted to find Sarah again…..to find out where they were taking her….and I realized this must be where they brought her. I had noticed there were vampires everywhere a lot of them were Volturi…the others were witnesses, there were even more vampire witnesses than the times of the Cullen trial, I saw familiar faces, Alec..Afron, Chelsea, Athnodora, Marcus, Cauis, Renata and, Jane I swear if Jane could eat human food she would be eating popcorn like one of those strange humans in the cinema munching down on their popcorn in anticipation of the best scene in the movie. I had floated down off the roof top it seemed none of them could see me, I had noticed everyone was wearing black. The witnesses had continued to speak amongst themselves, until a black limo arrived and parked not far from the witnesses the first one out of the limo was the driver it happened to be Felix he had walked to the door and opened the door leaning in he dragged out Sarah by her hair, my baby girl she looked so pale, so weak her beautiful blond hair was down her back. She wore a beautiful long white dress that touched the earth. I wanted to kill Felix…kill them all more than I wanted to kill anyone to save her. After Felix dragged her out he bent over to force Sarah to her feet and with effort she stood on her feet. The next to get out was Sulpicia and Aro both dressed in black, Sulpicia in a long black dress her hair was done up into a bun and Aro dressed in a black suit. “Prepare the stake” he spoke joylessly. Felix had dropped Sarah and she fell to the floor, and went to help Afron prepare the stake and stage they had set up, I wondered for just a brief moment how I could miss the stage had set up. Aro’s voice had brought me back focusing on him as he walked to Sarah, she was still on the floor so weak and feeble. “Sarah….Wife and mate of Marcus you have been charged of the following crimes, treachery…betraying your oath as queen, wife and mate of Marcus and aiding the escape of known criminals Brian Jacobson, Kate and Garrett Denali.,,” he had continued to speak when Sarah interrupted him “and….and just what were their crimes” she spoke feebly, at that remark Aro had ignored her and continued “you are charged with the murder of Volturi guard members Santiago and Demetri” I had gasped in shock she did it….she managed to kill Demetri…this meant, that the Volturi had no way of tracking us…Sarah had crippled the almighty Volturi by taking out their tracker. I had watched Sarah in awe, how could it be that she was strong enough to cripple to Volturi and now she is here…feeble and about to be executed by scum like the Volturi. “How do you plead” he asked in his fake sweet voice, “After living three thousand years…. Aro you are nuttier than a squirrel” she spoke it had taken a great deal of effort for her, I suppose you could say Sarah looked like she was exhausted like she desperately wanted to sleep. “I shall take that as a confession of guilt then….Felix come take her to the stake and bind her.” Aro spoke unaffected by Sarah’s statement even though there were hushed whispers among the witnesses. Aro had looked so cheerful it was really sickening. Felix had walked towards Sarah, he had lowered his hand and was about to pick her up, when she pushed his hand away. “No I can do this myself.” She spoke weakly and with amazing strength Sarah had picked herself up from the floor and she walked towards the edge of the cliff she stared off into the distance and the twilight, how the sky was mixed with blue and orange as the sun was not long from setting. I had followed her hovering after her and I floated behind her. I knew she wouldn’t be able to feel this but I wrapped my hands around her from behind and lowered my head to rest on her shoulder, I heard her gasp a little….she must have been struggling to stand on her feet. I was behind Sarah and I couldn’t see her smile, “I will wait for you Brian…at our beach you will find me there…you will hear my whispers professing my love to you and our son when the wind blows…you will feel my burning passion for our undying love to empower you…you will feel the tears I weep when it rains when you suffer trials and tribulations. You will feel whatever strength I have left when you walk on the earth and you will know my spirit will be with you for now and for always.” I didn’t know if she could feel my presence or not, I just wanted to cry, it felt like my heart was breaking and shattering into thousands and thousands of shards. “I will never let go Sarah I will love you for as long as I live.” I whispered into her ears “I am so very tired….soon I will get to sleep….forever….Brian my love…I hope with all my heart you will someday find your true mate.” she spoke, I knew she couldn’t hear me but I whispered back “I already have…I found her in you my beautiful baby girl.” I couldn’t keep my voice from breaking. “Thank you Brian I don’t know how you did this, but thank you for being with me in my last moments.” My eyes widened in shock as I realized Sarah could hear me she just had to. “Enough of this bind her already.” Felix arm had passed right through me as he pulled Sarah away from my incorporeal embrace and escorted her to the stage he tied her to the stake, normally a vampire would easily be able to break through the rope, but something had happened to Sarah to weaken her so badly she was weaker than a human. I followed after Sarah to the stage and saw straw all around and some form of fire accelerations. I was inches in front of Sarah and I looked into her black eyes. As Felix had tied her arms behind her back and steak and bound her legs to the stake “will you stay with me Brian….until the end” she asked sounding afraid. I nodded my head unable to speak and realized she couldn’t see me “yes” I managed to speak in a broken voice. Sarah’s frightened face turned into a brilliant smile “thank you” she whispered to me, Aro had lit the stick and flame attached to the stick. Felix was holding it, Sarah lowered her head, I don’t think she had any strength left, I listened in despair I heard words came from Aro’s mouth “Any last words Sarah” sounding so sure of himself. Sarah’s face remained down as she struggled “Yes….I Sarah Jacobson Pledge my love and soul from now until the end of eternity to Brian Jacobson and Brian Jacobson alone.” I felt touched, I think this was the first time she had ever taken my last name and just hearing her last words it was heart breaking I could feel my spirit die slowly, I felt so weak. As I looked away I noticed the witnesses and Marcus they seemed shocked, and Felix’s face seemed blank as he struggled with some unknown burden. “Let us begin the entertainment set her on fire.” Aro gave Felix the order, there seemed to be something as he couldn’t bring himself to do it “oh Aro…I have one more thing to say” Sarah spoke softly, Aro looked stunned “go on” he spoke curiously, Sarah looked up and she had that smile the smile of a mischievous goddess and determination in her eyes I knew now Sarah was giving every thing she had into her last moments “Go fuck yourself” she spoke defiantly. I had formed a weak smile, that’s my baby girl a fighter to the very end. Aro had lost his cool then, he snatches the flaming torch from Felix and tossed it into the fire and the straw immediately began to set fire. To the stage and the area around her, the flames surrounded Sarah, I could see her smile and I did not dare to look away, even as the flames reached it’s way towards her she looked at my direction for as long as she could…I wondered if she could see me, eventually her smile had faded as she breathed in her last breathes of air, before the flames consumed the oxygen, she wouldn’t need it because she didn’t have to breathe. Heard her scream and witnessed the flames starting to set fire her dress I could hear her screams echo the area and every fiber of me wanted to stay away “BRIAN” she screamed out in pain panting as she looked up, I could smell her flesh burn as she screamed and suffered slowly in agony she screamed, the entire time the Volturi and the witnesses stood there watching in silence. A wind blew Sarah’s beautiful blond hair back as it also increased the flames burning she let out an agonizing scream as her skin turned black from the flames consuming, my mind…my spirit and my heart was shattering with each scream and I had realized what she was doing, she was calling to me to see if I was still here. I heard her she screamed out louder than the last before screaming “BRIAN” she was suffering and dying and even as she was dying she was still a beautiful goddess to me ““It’s ok baby girl I am here….stay strong, soon we will be home together, just you me and our son.” I spoke as I felt like I was dying inside. I watched her smile one last time as she seemed to concentrate on that thought and allowed it to give her peace, she probably knew it wasn’t going to happen, but that hope had given her the strength she needed “no you have given he the strength she needed” I heard a voice speak, but I ignored it as I watched her raise her head to the heavens and she uttered the last words “I love you….Brian” the flames consumed her entirely leaving her body to turn into black ash that scattered in the wind. I fell to my knees clutching my side and screamed for Sarah as loud as I could, I thought my heart had shattered into thousands and thousands of shards before…but I was wrong, that was nothing compared to the fact of seeing my soul mate die and not being able to do a single thing. Those thoughts had entered my head and just as fast they entered my head another voice had entered my head “you are wrong…you have made a big difference.” I was still on all fours and I looked up in shock and horror to see who it was. Now that Sarah is dead, what will Brian do ? Who is it Brian is seeing ? Will this story ever have a happy ending ? Find out next time on Brian's journal Song that was playing while I wrote this entry The place of Sarah's death
Topic: My talent is a curse, I witnessed something monstrous and I was powerless to prevent it…How much more can she endure, before her soul shatters?
Date: June 18th, 2019 Dear Journal After getting off the plane, Kate, Garrett and myself walked out to the waiting area, I excused myself from the two and told them to wait for me in the waiting area while I went to customs, I had to get the knife Sarah gave me…even I with all my wealth couldn't smuggle it onto the plane this weapon…it’s useless to vampires, but Sarah told me other wise…this harmless knife actually contain poison on it, poison that could do untold damage onto vampires apparently. It seemed Aro had his own projects that went on during the years. After getting Sarah’s knife back I returned and found Kate and Garrett waiting with Eleazar and Carlisle standing moving casually, but quickly I approached the four “we have to go now” I told Eleazar, he nodded his head and Carlisle pulled out his phone and called someone “None of the Volturi were on the plane, but the colder our scent is the better” I spoke keeping my voice quiet as possible, he nodded “Carlisle is calling Alice now… we had to take extreme caution, everyone else left right after the call in Volterra while Carlisle and I remained behind…we have everyone moving from place to place to make it harder for Demetri to find everyone, while Carlisle and I stayed out of the loop "just in case Aro followed you,” he spoke calmly. I had nothing to say this was my entire fault, the lives of the Cullen's, the Denali's were all in danger because of my actions. All I wanted was Sarah…and I failed at rescuing her….again. Carlisle hung up the phone and he told us to follow him, which we did we went to a black SUV with tinted windows. Carlisle was driving “Edward, Bella and Jacob are going to Forks and La Push…Bella is getting Charlie while Jacob is assembling his pack.” Carlisle informed me of his kids and his pet’s plans, but to be honest they were not my concern “If Edward and Bella are heading to forks…what about my son, Where is Tobias.” My voice must have sounded distressed to the others because Eleazar was telling me to calm down. I leaned forward and saw Carlisle was speeding, “Tobias is fine, and he is with Emmett, Alice, Rosalie and Renesmee. They are heading towards Ocean Shore, Washington from there we wait there until everyone returns…none of our previous homes are safe anymore…Aro knows everything about us, so we had to have taken refuge in some place safe…Esme, Jasper,Tanya,Carmen are spreading the news to our friends…anyone that has been an ally to us in the past is now also the enemy of the Volturi and chances are if the Volturi can’t find us they will be heading towards each of them. It would take us two days and three hours give or take a few minutes to get to Ocean Shore, Washington that’s only if we stop for petrol, lucky enough we vampires do not need sleep so we can drive all night. The trip is roughly 4000 Km, and I have forty eight hours to figure out what to tell my son…forty eight hours…I don’t think that’s enough time…it actually felt better telling myself I had two thousand eight hundred and eighty minutes. How could I tell him that I lied to him for his entire life, that his mother wasn't dead, she was alive that she sacrificed herself not once, but twice…What Sarah did was a noble thing sure…but still her nobility it has caused me guilt because I couldn’t protect her, what would it do to Tobias, would he blame himself because Sarah did this for him too….would he listen to me when I told him it wasn’t his fault….he is just a child, he may look like a teenager and he is a genius, still I know this is something he can’t handle…I have to protect Tobias too….there is no right time to say “hey guess what I lied to you because I thought your mom was a cold hearted ho, she’s not dead she is actually alive and she is being held prisoner by three twisted old coots” yes journal as you can see I am in a sticky situation, the best thing to do is not tell him anything, I'll save Sarah first let them meet and hope for the best. I opened the window and watched the scenery and felt the wind, wind ever so fulfilling and comforting. I watched as wind blew the trees back and forth making the snow on the branches fall slowly. The scenery was beautiful, the ground pure white from snow and the wind blowing against the trees to make the snow fall. The more I watched the scenery the more my eyes opened, not physically, but metaphorically I could see the beauty of the scenery, but I felt something in my heart…I felt this ache and pain, I am not exactly sure how to describe it or why I feel this way…I breathed in the fresh air it was soothing and it made this mysterious aching in my heart fade slowly, closing my eyes I laid my head back. Carlisle and the others were speaking at first I was listening intently fixated on their words, but slowly my mind began to wander off. I breathed in the air slowly and exhaled it the wind was so darn good and refreshing; it reminded me of one of the many reasons I loved nature over civilization. The more I breathed in the more relaxed I felt and every conscious thought started to drift away as if it was taken by the wind. Soon the words stopped completely, which brought me out of my relaxed state. I had open my eyes and found myself floating high in the air I gasped in shock and of course the only thing on my mind at that moment was how the hell did I get in this situation. Could it have been a day dream of a fantasy of some sorts. As I watched the scenery from the sky I could see everything was the same, with the exception of the car I was previously sitting inside of was driving off into the distance while I floated in the sky. It was strange, but I felt so free here and at peace I felt like I was free from every single stress in my life, that nothing in the world mattered. I laughed as I floated in the air. For a moment I wished Sarah could feel it, it was just at the thought of Sarah that everything changed….the wind, the sky the beautiful scenery was gone and replace with something dark, the air was stale and the room was naked with nothing inside, it wasn’t exactly a room it was more along the line of a dungeon and on careful inspection I noticed two figures standing over someone else, one of the figures was the size of a child. When I stepped closer and leaned over the two figures shoulders I could see her….Sarah. She looked so weak and helpless it was heartbreaking to see her this way, the adult figure turned around to show it was Aro, I expected Aro to do something to react surprised that I was here, but he didn’t react at all. He actually walked right through me as if I was a ghost. I watched as Aro walked out the door and listened to a child like voice speak “master has rewarded me for my good service and allowed me to play with you” Jane’s voice had sounded so smug as if she really thought she was better than anyone else…she was a sadistic imbecile. I smiled when I heard Sarah speak “I’m sorry Jane…..Im not into children” she had struggled to speak, I wondered why she was this weak, I didn’t have much time to think anymore. When I heard a loud scream fill the room, the scream was high pitched and unbearable to hear, I had placed my hands to my ears to try and block it out, but still I couldn’t block out all of Sarah’s screams. “STOP IT JANE STOP IT NOW” I yelled out over Sarah’s scream, but Jane did not hear me, I tried to push Jane to the ground, but my hands went right through her. It was like I wasn’t even there like I was a phantom. I tried to stand in front of Sarah to protect her, but still she cried out in pain screaming in agony, the entire time. When shielding Sarah didn’t work I bent down to her level and tried to encourage her “come on Sarah fight this…you did it before, you can do it again fight through Jane’s gift…come on baby girl believe in yourself” nothing worked, it was like I was there beside her witnessing everything and yet I could do nothing to help Sarah all I could do was be there with her in this phantom form and witness how Jane had tortured Sarah. It seemed to go on and on forever, it was impossible to tell the length of time. There was no natural light in the room and no clocks for all I knew it could have been days. Something shocking did happen, Sarah stopped screaming, at first I thought it was because she had enough that she mustered up the strength she needed to take out Jane, but Sarah didn’t do anything at all. My heart pounded out of fear as I realized the possibility that maybe she was dead. I tried to touch Sarah, but of course I couldn’t this damn spectral form…all I could do was witness the brutality my baby girl had to endure, when I looked into Sarah’s black eyes…I saw nothing, but a void she was probably thirsty, but if she was then why wasn’t she showing it…all I saw was nothing…she was a shell. I heard Jane’s cackle of sadistic laughter and looked at the bitch as she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her leaving Sarah and I in a black void of darkness. I remained next to her trying to touch her shoulder I just wanted to comfort her, to ease her pain. She was gone…at least that’s how it felt…if Carlisle was here he would have told me that it appeared that Sarah was in a state of catatonia caused by the mental anguish she has gone through…to me it looked like Sarah’s soul was dead…maybe it’s the same thing just different words and thoughts, but I decided I couldn’t just sit here and do nothing…maybe if I tried hard enough deep down Sarah would come out of this “Hey baby girl you don’t look so well…it looks like you’re having a bad day.” My voice spoke to her softly, I chuckled for a moment “Sorry baby girl…for a moment…I heard your voice in my head…it was saying ‘no shit sherlock’ yeah you would probably say that if you were up to speaking…and you’d probably be wondering how I got here….actually I am wondering that too…I like to think of it as my spirit flying on the wings of love…reaching out and transcending the limitations of the physical plain just to reach you…” I whispered to her softly as my eyes fixated on Sarah intently I moved my hand slowly to her hair and tried to stroke it, but I couldn’t. Instead I pretended that when my hand went through her hair it was stroking it and I continued to talk “I sure have changed…there was once a time when I thought love was nothing, but a trick of nature to get humans to reproduce….and that I was not meant for love…my life it was empty and hollow…I had this pain in my heart and everyday it would grow stronger and stronger. Then I met you Sarah… you were hurting like I was…you gave me something to believe in and I fell in love with you my beautiful baby girl…you healed all of the gaping hole in my heart Sarah and gave me salvation…we have so much to talk about. ten years worth of discussions to talk about...so many evenings where we watch the stars together and see the tides of the oceans wash away the sand on the shores of the beach back home…just us for eternity and our son…can you imagine it Sarah…a perfect world with just us and perfect happiness…a world without fear, pain, doubt, a world where my heart wouldn’t be broken without you…and a world where you have a place to belong…a place where you could just be yourself my beautiful babygirl.” I spoke softly I felt a pain in my chest as I spoke, god I missed her so much, it seemed so cruel she was in front of me and yet she was so far away in her state of catatonia and I was like Casper the friendly ghost…only no one could see me. I was brought out of my thoughts of despair when the door opened and I could see a dim light in the distance, I saw a member of the Volturi walk into the room his name was Felix. He approached my woman as he called out to her, My gaze shifted from him and onto Sarah as she whispered my name, her voice was so weak, I smiled when she called out my name and I was still next to her “ I am right here baby girl…” I answered her, but instead of hearing her speak it was Felix “no Sarah your delirious… it’s Felix” I could see this gaze of confusion fall on Sarah’s face…Felix was right Sarah was delirious and she looked like she was stark crazy. Each passing moment here with her I felt my heart break, It was so painful, but I couldn’t bare to leave her here alone I loved my baby girl to much to leave her. “Sarah pleaded with Felix not to mess with her and I looked away ashamed. It was when Felix spoke “I’m sorry… Sarah, hey I have something for you” I looked towards Felix curious to see what it was, but then I felt something hard hit me in the chest before I could see it and I gasped. Everything melted away…and I opened my eyes gasping for air. I felt so many complex sensations run through me and I looked around to find the car was parked next to a hotel…”what happened why have we stopped” I asked confused, Carlisle watched me wit concern “Brian….we are here…it’s been a full two days since you last said anything…” it was impossible, I couldn’t even begin to imagine how to make sense of this…I have been in a catatonic state for two days…was everything I witnessed in that time a dream…no it felt to real to be a dream. I climbed out of the car and in a flash I felt something smack into me, before I could make sense of what hit me…I instinctively wrapped my hands around it “Hey boy” I spoke with a smile looking at my son I hugged him tight “hey dad I missed you” Tobias spoke back, putting everything I witnessed out of my mind I told my son I missed him too. I Spent some time with my son at the beach, it was nice but it wasn’t as nice as the beach back home and Tobias was the first one to comment on that too. I spent the entire afternoon with my son. Tobias was a surprising source of comfort to me. I know I should be the parent I should be the one comforting him, and being honest with him but at this moment he wasn’t asking me any questions like why we were here. So why should I stress the boy out. Eventually Rosalie came and distracted Tobias she has taken a liking to Tobias, but then again he is my son so what’s not to like. I decided to spend some of my free time confiding in you like I always do and now that I have informed you of what happened I am left with these questions. What happened to me to be able to leave my body Did what I see really happened? How can I help Sarah? How do I even begin to explain all this to the others? I can’t answer any of these questions right now…so I think I will read over Sarah’s diary again, when I read her diary it’s like I can hear her voice, feel her touch and for a short time…I can remember what it’s like to be with her and to feel the joy that I felt when we were together…after that I should go to Carlisle and eleazar and explain everything that happened maybe they can shine some light on it. ~Brian Jacobson |
