There is no place on earth that I have traveled that has a more beautiful spring than Romania. Vlad and I have had the estate caretakers plant an array of flowers that have started to show signs of blooming. Something about the pungent fragrance of new blossoms sets my wanderlust in motion. I need elbow room, clear open space away from my brother's smothering. He means well, honestly he does but the constant movement here within the estate has me antsy and I'm getting very close to losing my…

Dear Grand parents,

I know we haven’t gotten many occasions to get to know each other while you were alive but I felt like telling you all how everything’s going for me now. I know you and mom didn’t always see eye to eye but the traditions of the Makah are as important to me in my mind as the Quileute traditions are.

It wasn’t easy growing up without knowing much about my family. I’m glad however that today I know the truth, and have been blessed by having not only learned who…

It’s been a while since we really had a good chat, so I decided to write you an old fashion letter. I am going to mail it and everything.  I have really been thinking a lot about you. I hope to come and visit you soon. We can even maybe take a trip together. Although I have to get Mom and Dad to agree, or maybe you could convince them.

So let’s see what is news here in Forks, well I am helping Jake at his garage and really enjoy spending time together. Don’t worry Grandma; I am not…

If you google "snowflakes" this is the image you will see.



It is surely a thing of beauty and no two are the same as discovered by Wilson Bently in the 1800's, he loved winter and snowflakes so much so, that he took pictures of snowflakes under his microscope and made this remarkable discovery.

So as I said, "If you google "snowflake" images" that is what…

When I woke up from the transformation I was in a room with a group of terrified peasants and a growing…

When you have been immortal for a very long time you see many changes in history and also in the way people dress due to the era. Over the years I have kept particular items of clothing as a reminder of the changes that I have seen happen.

If I was asked what was my favorite era of fashion I would have to say the Victorian.  The fashion during that era was in my opinion the best. The dresses were elegant and…

While sitting at my desk this morning I came across a photo in a newspaper article from last year. I glance at the date. It was dated January 7^th, 2011.  The article is about an act of kindness that happened approximately 18 days before the Egyptian protests that ousted Mr. Mubarak.…

I remember the day the Volturi descended on Hilda's coven very clearly. I remember Master Aro moving amongst group of us that were gathered with the guard around us, making sure none of us run. Hilda had already been destroyed and I knew that same fated awaited nearly all of us. 

I stood at the edge of the group and watched as Aro made his way towards me, his hand flashed out and grabbed hold of mine, all my thoughts were now being read. After what seemed a few minutes…

My father's undoing was the loss of his co-conspirator my brother Stephen. After his death my mother, my sisters and I went to live in the country house. Where we could live in peace and quiet. Resume a somewhat normal life even with the mark on our good name that treason brings.

This of course did not stop my father. He be came more passionate in his claims that Stephen was wronged. Instead of trying to undo the wrong which it seems a normal man would do for his son.…

I awoke with a gasp, my heart beating one hundred miles a minute and that horrific sense of knowing that everything is not alright... You always assume that when you wake from a nightmare that everything will be ok. Right? What if waking up to the reality is far worse?

I felt like a stranger in my home, hell I felt like an intruder in my own life. Apologies, for I would normally not use such language but at this moment... I am beyond caring.

We tip toe through this house and…

"Sue....... Have you seen my new fly?" Rolling my eyes as I continued to pack Seth's clothes, "Take a look in that third drawer Harry, the one in my grandmother's dresser". The rattling continued from downstairs until I heard a triumphant FOUND IT! And then, "Why do we have a hockey puck in here?" followed by..."Now if I can just find my favourite hook to go with it", he went back to muttering as the telephone rang in the background. "Daddy's funny", Seth laughed as he wandered around the…

-waves my hand in greeting- Welcome. I thought I would share an insight into how I became to be the fisher for the Volturi and also a slight insight into my brief human life.

I was born into a large German family in Germany in 1530. I was given the name Heidi upon my birth and I was the youngest of seven children. I was spoilt by my parents and siblings as I was the youngest. You could say that I took great pleasure in being spoiled by my family.…
