Being the youngest in my family, it meant that I was never close to all of my siblings. Calliana was only two years older than me, and being the only other girl, we were always close. My father wasn't around much, so I wasn't close to him - Calliana was the one who raised me, teaching me everything I needed to know . How to read and write, how to stay inconspicious, where to find food.
It's not to say I wasn't close to the rest of my family. Michah and Uri were never far away when I needed them. But with Grayson and Elias, it was a different story. They were far older than me- Grayson had been fully mature for ten years, and Elias for seven by the time I was born. To tell the truth, I was always a little scared of Grayson. It was the way he treated me, like I was... his servant, or something. He was so big too, he was practically built of muscle, and was over six feet tall. I could tell that he didn't think much of me, he was just like my father in his beliefs about the humans, where as I was leaning towards a more vegetarian approach.
Elias was just never around, so I never really got to know him. The most time we ever spent together was one day were he spent the entire day trying to force me to hunt humans. I refused, he walked away and I've only seen him once since. It was soon after that that I left my family.
Michah and Uri were much closer to my age, being only three and four years older, so I spent much more time with them whilst growing up.
They both have such different personalities, but I love them both equally. Michah is just so FUNNY, the whole time, he can have me smiling in minutes, no matter how sad I was. He's like a big bear, I just want to hug him! He just never stops.
Uri is the opposite, he's so quiet and deep, but we can talk for hours, about anything and everything. I love my brothers dearly, and it hurts me that I can't see them anymore. I would love to go and see them, just for one more day, but I'm scared of what Grayson could do to me. When I left, he swore that I was dead to him, and now he is on the side of the Volturi, he could have me killed easily.
The only contact that I have with my family now is through Calliana. She watches out for me, and lets me know what's happening with Michah and Uri. She keeps trying to convice me to come and visit them, but I tell her it's too dangerous. For all of us.
Until I know that Grayson can't hurt any of us, I won't return to my family.
I just have to keep wandering.
