Lessons Lessons and more lessons
Well being a (Oh yeah I forgot that word that Eli does not like), Oskar told me never to mention that 7 letter forbidden word infront of Eli. She goes all crazy and then there will be many broken bones. Possibly broken furniture too and he does not want to disturb the neighbors.
So here I was ready to start my first lesson!
Lesson 1
We live on blood.
Eli wrote on the chalk board. We were in the living room. We had moved into a one room apartment that Eli had rented. If things went well Eli said we could stay here for a year!
So I wrote down what she had written.
"We need blood to live."
"Like the rest we want to live."
I wrote down everything Eli said!
"This is too much!"
I had filled out a whole notebook! Eli had gone on and on about this and that.
"Eli are you sure we are not ...."
"No, what did I say we live on?"
I browse through my notes. What had Eli said? Oskar was trying to help me by signaling the answer.
"On love?"
"On love!"
I was a bad student.
Lesson 2
Human blood the only good blood
"It has to be fresh."
"What if is one day old?"
"Is no good."
"What if its store in the freezer?"
"Is no good."
"But doesn't blood have an expiration date. It should be..."
"Is no good."
"What if it comes from another animal?"
Eli gave a sigh. Oskar kept quiet.
"Is no good Lucy."
"What about..."
Eli stormed out of the room.
"So Oskar what if..."
Oskar was about to get up but I grab him. Hey I needed someone to answer my questions!
"Lucy I am tired please.."
"Oskar please I have to learn all I can!"
So I spend all day asking him questions until it got dark again.
"Please ok. ok."
This should be enough.
Eli was still angry. Oskar was no help. I only had one choice.
"Oskar where is Lucy?"
"I don't know."
"She is gone."
"Maybe she went for a walk."
"In the middle of the day!"
"I am sleepy Eli."
"Oskar what if!"
"No she would.."
"Look there is a paper by the table."
"Let me see!"
My body is ready
So am I
In my new life
I welcome it
by walking off
into the sunset.....
"She went out into the sun!"
"Eli don't say that!"
"I should have stay. Why did I stay mad at her!"
Under the sewers
I stayed under the sewers until the sun went out. Else I would have been toast. With my new ability to smell I felt dizzy. The smells were horrible. I had plan on going to the library to do some research but it was closed. Eli and Oskar were probably still sleeping. When I arrived home everything was silent. Then I found them sitting down together looking at my poem.
"We only spend two days with Lucy."
"I am going to miss her."
"I should have been more patient."
"Now she is gone."
I had only been gone for a few hours.
"The way you two talk about me as if I was dead or something."
"Ow!" Eli pinch me and Oskar almost broke me.
"Lucy you are alive!"
"I only went to the library."
"We thought.."
Eli showed me my poem.
"This is only a poem I am working on."
"It is. Oskar come here."
Oskar ran outside.
"I am going to kill you Oskar!"
What kinds of games did they play?
Lesson 3 Myths
So after all that runnning around the lessons continue.
Eli brought out a mirror, an old camera, some onions, some garlic, and a Bible.
"First none of these things affect us."
I raised my hand.
"Yes Lucy."
"Does that mean I can eat onions and garlic."
"No."
"But you said..."
Now it was my turn to run!
Lesson 4 Discovery of powers!
Well this time I did not have Eli showed me. I actually learned how to use my sharp nails to climb buildings.
"Come here!" Eli was after me.
I also learned how to run faster and that I did not need to breath.
"This is fun!"
"Keep running Lucy!"
I could even see in the night and used my super hearing powers so I could dodge Eli.
"Come and get me Eli!"
"You will see!"
Lesson 5 Fashion sense
We wear what we can find Eli wrote on the squeaky chalk board. Eli was facing the chalk board. I was about to raise my hand. Oskar brought it down.
"You want more trouble." He whisper.
Were we get our clothes from:
1.Garbage can
2.Laundry room
3.Steal clothes
4.From our victims
5.From strangers
Then she took out a set of clothes.
"So what do you guys think?"
"There gorgeous!" Oskar shouted.
"Well.." I had to find trouble again.
I took the clothes.
"They smell."
"What else?"
"They are sticky."
"What else?"
"They are worm out."
"What else?"
"But worst. They don't match! Yellow with pink!"
"What else?"
"Eli you have no fashion sense!"
And that did it. She was after me! I was running for my life one more time.
"I'll show you fashion sense!"
"But Eli at least wash the clothes!" I said to her as I ran.
"Aargg!"
"There's the store to buy clothes from!"
"I am the expert! Not you!"
So I ran and ran. This lessons were getting worst. How many more were there?
Lesson 6 Sleeping in the tub
"You are kidding?"
"No."
"Sleeping on a tub?"
"That is why we got an apartment with two bathrooms."
"I am not sleeping there."
"Lucy don't start Eli is going to get mad."
Then Eli came back.
"So we sleep in a tub."
I had to I just had to know why. So I raised my hand.
"Why do we sleep in a tub?"
Then Eli broke the white chalk.
"I mean..."
"Is not comfy."
"Is cold."
"Is weird."
"Is too dark."
"What if water begins to leak."
"I wont be able to stretch."
"Is creepy."
"Why not use a c.."
"A coffin! I told you we are not.."
"Vampires!" Uh oh! The forbidden word!
"You better start to run!"
"I meant a closet! Isn't that a more comfy place!"
Lesson 7 Tasting blood
"Do I have to?"
"Yes you do. That is what we eat!"
I felt the blood in the bowl.
"Is icky, is sticky, is too red.."
"Just drink it!"
"Ok. ok."
I taste it.
"Now what?"
"Is too salty!"
"You want it to taste like pizza eh?"
"Can you do that?"
"You better start to run."
So I did!
"Oskar."
"Yes Eli."
"Lucy is going to make me insane!"
"You promised to be patient."
"I know. I know. But.."
"I guess we need a day off."
"Yeah that is a good idea."
"I can't find Lucy!"
"All I found was this note!"
Dear Oskar(this letter is for you),
When you read this I will be gone! I am tired of running around. I will be on my way to the town call Forks in some far away place in the U.S.A. I am going to become a Cullen! You heard me! I will be sparkly and shiny! I am going to become a vegetarian! I hope you know who is happy!
What can I say? This was my new life. I was going to high school! I was a prodigy ha ha Take that Eli! The teachers were amazed. Though it was mostly boring. I could go out in day for some weird reason and I was not going to explode into ashes. In a few days it was going to be official. I was going to be Lucy Cullen. A whole party was going to be thrown in my honor! Take that Eli and Oskar!
I should not think about them. They were part of my old life. This was my new life.
School was boring. So boring that I wanted to get skipped ahead. Those two were there Edward an Jasper. Edward kept playing the piano all day!
"Don't you get bore doing that all day!" He kept at it! He was more boring than I thought. Who would want to go out with him? Maybe one day he would meet some girl as boring as him.
"Hey I heard that!"
And Jasper he kept up with his whatever he did. There was also a strong guy who laughed all day and did push ups all day. His name was Emmet I think. He was all right. He was the only one who played with me. He was like a big kid.
Then there was that girl Rosalie who just kept looking at herself in the mirror all day! The only cool ones were Dr. Cullen and Alice. Dr. Cullen was kind and worked at the local hospital. Alice took me to the theater, to shop, and in a few days I was going to go on a road trip with her!
Somewhere in the U.S.A.
"Were can this town be?"
"I can't read this map!"
"I told you. It has too many lines."
"Maybe we should ask for help?"
"Don't Abby and Owen live here."
"There's a phone booth! Let's call them!"
"Hi Abby is Eli."
"How are the three of you?"
"We are fine. Well Lucy ran away."
"Did you fight with her again?"
"Sort of. She is in a town call Forks. Do you know how to get there?"
"Is that were the Cullens live?"
"Yes. She wants to become one of them!"
"You better get there quick them. Do you have a pen?"
"Yeah tell me how do we get there."
Eli began to write the directions.
"Thanks Abby! Tell Owen we said hi!"
"Here we come Forks town!"
"Is strange we can be out during the day here!"
"Come on Oskar! We have to ask around again!"
"I thought you wrote down the directions."
"I did but I lost them ok."
"Isn't that Lucy!"
A blue car passes by.
"It is come on! We have to follow that car!"
I went shopping with Alice. She got me lots of nice clothes.
"Don't you miss your friends Lucy?"
"No, I am happy here."
"What if they are looking for you?"
"I don't think they are."
Eli was probably celebrating. Maybe Oskar cared. I looked at my hand. I still had the friendship ring. Oskar had gotten another ring for Eli. Each ring had our initials and the phrase "The three Musketeers" engraved. As I looked at the side view mirror for a moment I thought I saw Eli and Oskar running. Ha I must be dreaming.
Kidnapped by the Volturi
Alice stopped by a store to get some magazines. I stayed in the car. Suddenly these three people with black robes appear and open the door of the car. I try to escape by the other door but was captured and cover with a blanket!
I heard Alice scream and then everything went blank.
"You want me to join the Val.."
"The Volturi! I repeated it 100 times already!"
I was somewhere in Rome. I was talking to two old men who sat on two thrones.
"Do you guys just seat there all day?"
"Yes!"
"We are royalty!"
Then there were two who stay by their side. A blonde girl and a blonde boy. Both wore long black cloaks. They stood there doing nothing. They were more boring than Edward.
"I don't feel like joining! This place is boring!"
"You will!"
"No! I am not planning to stay standing up all my life!"
So I was running for my life again. I ran to the hallway and those two with the black robe were chasing after me.
Then they had me corner.
"You will become like us!"
"Leave Lucy alone!"
"She is our friend!"
Eli and Oskar were here!
"This way!" Alice said. We when through so many passages until weAlice found the exit. Then we got into the car and drove away to safety!
"So you are staying?" Eli said sadly.
I was packing. She did not notice.
"Well ..."
"Say something!"
"Eli.."
Oskar kept pointing at my luggage.
"Come on answer me!"
"...." Really she could not see I was folding my clothes in the luggage.
Then Oskar pointed to my luggage.
"You are coming home with us!"
"I do have to come back though. For special occassions."
I showed them my certificate. It said Lucy Cullen.
"You mean we came too late!"
"You are going to sparkle!"
"Be shiny!"
"Be a vegetarian!"
"No, I have to come for when there is a wedding or a family reunion."
Both were relieved.

Last Lesson
Learning how to lure future victims
1. Pretend to be helpless under a bridge.
2. Wait on top of a tree and jump on the first person you see.
3. Take a nice bubble bath if your future victim is a 12 year old blond boy.
I raised my hand.
"Really? Aren't there other ways?"
"Like..."
"We could advertise."
"What?"
"Here."
I showed Eli the newspaper's classified.
"People ask for all kinds of things."
"Sounds like a good idea." Oskar said.
"It does." Eli agreed! Finally she was not chasing me around!
"Here is an advertisement I wrote."
I handed the paper to Eli.
We offer several services:
Cleaning, fixing, pest problem, protection, cut your grass, shovel the snow away, etc. And all for free! We only ask for a pint of your blood! No money just your blood. Blood must be fresh!
"Well we could try and see how it goes."
So we ran the advertiment in the classifieds and waited for the results!
Then the next night we checked! We had a lot of requests!
"Wow! We have so many! Is going to take years to do them all!"
"Well time is on our side!"
Year 2003
We had started our own internet company! We were living great! We had a lot of clients. Abby and Owen helped too with the international services. Everything was fine until I had to go to several Cullen family reunions. Eli would get mad and would come with me. Sometimes I went with Oskar and left Eli running the company. She would get angry.
"I have to go Oskar." I whisper as I quickly got my luggage.
"Again! Eli isn't going to like this."
"I have to. Edward found a girlfriend."
"He did."
"Yeah. The whole family is going to be there."
"But Eli.."
"I am coming back." After all these years that I had lived with Eli and Oskar and Eli was still afraid I might run away again.
Then there was Alice's car. It was a blue Porshe.
"Let's go! Before .."
"I come." Eli said.
"Alice you told."
Eli took out her cell phone. She dialed Oskar's number.
"Oskar let's go. That. We are taking a few days off." Oskar got in the car. And the car sped off.
Eli was with me the whole time. Everywhere I went there she was. Oskar was lucky. He got to spend time looking around the house.
"There you met that Isabella Swann. Let's go."
"Is Bella.."
"Oh how quickly you became friends!"
"Eli you did not have to come."
"But I did want to come."
"But you don't like being here."
"But I do. I do."
So she was with me until Alice took us home.
Though it was worst when she did not come. Eli kept calling and calling on the cell phone. If I did not answer she send me a 1000 text messages.
"Why didn't you answer!"
"Is a family meeting."
Then she would call again.
"When are you leaving?"
"Not yet."
And it became worst when she heard about the wedding.
"Was that?"
"Nothing Eli."
Then she took my invitation.
"Oh look! We've been invited to a wedding!"
"We! But it is adress to my name!"
"We are going and that's final!"
And so we did go to the wedding. It was a miracle. Edward had actually found some girl who would marry him! I try to get away but there she was.
"Don't you want to dance with Oskar?"
"I already did."
Oskar looked exhausted. I try to get up.
"Where are you going?"
"I am only stretching!"
So Eli was my shadow until we finally went home.
Vacations Vacations
2008 Barcelona, Spain
"Didn't I tell you being a Cullen has its advantages!"
"Is great Lucy! Plus we are in first class!" Oskar said.
"Yes it is cool!" Eli agree.
We were travelling in a private jet. All thanks to Dr. Cullen. He thought that taking some vacations would be great for the three of us. And the Cullen clan had a lot of money to spend. We were going to Barcelona for a month!
This was living!
"I dare you two to walk over were that man and his family is and look menacing!"
"That's easy!"
"Too easy!"
"We are going to look like predators!"
"Stalking their prey!"
So both of them went and started to walk as the light's lamp reflected on them. I took a photo with my cell phone. They walk slowly like two predators as the man was taking a picture of their family.
"Let's take another one. This one came up all blurry." The man said as he was taking another picture.
"See we told you we could look as predators!" Eli said as she look at the photo I had taken.
"You send the photo?"
"Of course! By mail in a big yellow envelope. Even wrote a not on the back!"
"Well she did it."
"It was only a joke Lucy!"
"But you dare me!"
Well what was I suppose to do? Eli and Oskar had told me about the ticket collector who had interrupted their pact and that he was saved when the station manager announced that the train was about to leave. That if not the guy would have been rip apart by Eli.
"I thought it would be something nice since he almost got killed!"
"You know who I am going to kill!"
So I began to run. It was sort of fun having Eli chase me around. Just like that time when I met Eli and Oskar by the train station.
