Chapter Text
I turned around when I heard people yelling just in time to see the car that hit me. Everything went black for a few minutes before everything went white. "Hi," a voice said but I couldn't tell where it was coming from.
"Hey?"
"So, you got hit by a car... However, it wasn't your time yet," the voice said. "I apologise for that. A rash decision was made at the last minute. So, to make it up to you, you're being placed in the Twilight Universe as Bella's twin with some differences made. Jacob will be with Seth and act the way he does because he sees you and Bella as Sisters. Aro, Caius and Marcus will be Mated while Athenodora, Sulpicia and Didyme are Mated with Didyme still alive. However, the three of them spend most of their time in Volterra and hardly ever get involved with the Law. They will be involved during the visit to Volterra to save Edward, though. Alec and Felix will be Mated and Jane and Heidi.
"Wait, why?"
"Because it's your ideal world we're creating for you. You're a very special person, Cassiopeia," the voice said. "You're my Daughter." The voice showed itself to be a man in his late twenties in a navy suit. He looked like a mix of Elijah and Lucifer from Originals and Lucifer. "I'm Hades. You're the Princess of the Underworld as my only child. Since you aren't 18 yet, you haven't gotten your powers so you died due to my Brother slacking on his duty to protect you until you came of age."
"Brother?"
"Zeus. You can't enter the Underworld until you're of age," Hades said. "We're creating this world for you to live in since you can't go anywhere else. It will be real, though. Once it's created, it will exist forever."
"But it'll only have existed for this conversation right?"
"No, we're creating it now and placing it in the past so it will have existed for as long as Earth has. Now, other than you being Mated to the Denali Sisters, the Volturi Queens, Leah, Jane and Heidi, is there anything else? You will have your powers as a Demigoddess in this new world."
"I want a Vampire Gift and to be able to Shift... If possible to become the Alpha... Please," I requested.
"Of course," he said. "Your Gift will be copying others' Gifts. When in this new world, you'll be placed in the day you'd be in if you'd been born in that world on the same day as Bella with your current age. You'll be able to leave when you want to after you finish the plot of the movies. You can stay there as long as you like, Cassiopeia."
"Cassie."
"Cassie," he acquiesced. "Do you want to know what your powers as a Demigoddess/Princess of the Underworld are?"
"Yes, please," I said.
"Well, you're unable to be physically harmed by anyone but other Demigods and Gods. Even Vampires can't harm you. You can bring people back to life no matter how long they've been dead for but it'll be very hard for you and you can only do one person/animal per month because of that. And, yes, that includes Sasha for the Denalis and Vasilii but the Volturi would just kill him again. You can also control elements like Benjamin but fire is a lot easier for you and you're much more powerful than him. You can also Shapeshift into any form you want other than other people and you can control and manipulate shadows."
"Can I choose the Volturi Royals' Gifts?"
"Sure," he said.
"I want Marcus and Aro to have their Gifts but Aro's Gift allows him to choose the time frame he sees and I want Sulpicia to have the same Gift but she sees everything every time. Didyme has the Gift of compulsion, Athenodora can see someone's weaknesses and strengths with a single glance and Caius can immediately see the best thing to do to get the best outcome for him. Kinda like Victoria's Gift but with strategy and not survival."
"Sure... Oh, and be careful when feeling intense emotions the whole hair-on-fire-with-blue-flames thing isn't made up. It's real. So be careful," he warned.
"Okay, I will," I said.
"And your eyes will turn red when your hair does that. If you ever need help call out for Cat. She'll listen and find you. She's a Shapeshifter Demon. Her natural form is a Cerberus but she can Shift into a Human form and a Black Panther form like the Wolf Shifters," he said. "In fact, I'm making her your personal guardian so she'll be in that Universe with you from the moment you arrive. She'll be your adopted Sister. Charlie adopted her when he found her alone. She'll be waiting for you in Forks and has always been homeschooled by tutors until you and Bella show up because she has social anxiety. She doesn't but her acting like she does will ensure she gives you an excuse when you need it to ditch school or people."
"Thanks," I said.
"Bye, Cassie," he said.
"Bye," I said. Everything went black again.
...
I woke up with my memories of being Cassiopeia Black and my memories of being Cassiopeia Swan. I also remember Cat even though I know I've never met her. It's a week until Bella and I move to Forks and we move on Cat's birthday. She's supposed to be turning 15 so the day we'll go to save Edward will be her 16th birthday. From my memories, I call Renee by her name and Charlie is Dad. Bella bonded with Renee while I bonded with Charlie. Bella and I are twins and similar and different in many ways. However, Cat and I are the most similar. Bella and I are very protective of her as her older Siblings but Bella's also very protective of me and tries to look out for us both as the eldest (even if it was only by eight and a half minutes). Cat was diagnosed with social anxiety when Charlie first found her when she was five. After that, he got me diagnosed with autism when I visited in the summer. Cat's full name was supposedly Catarina Narcissus Redwood before she was adopted by Charlie and became a Swan. "Cassie!"
"Yeah, Bella?"
"Ready to start packing?"
"It's a week away!"
"Can't start too early, Sis!"
"Yes, you can, Sissy," I said. Cat and I say Sissy but Bella, being the 'mature' one, almost always says Sis and only says Sissy occasionally.
...
"Sissy!" I yelled as I pulled Cat into a hug. "Happy birthday, Sissy!" I handed her the present Bella and I got her. She opened it and squealed.
"Oh my God!" We both exchanged a look at the phrase. "I can't believe you got me the motorbike I wanted."
"Well, you can get your licence now and I have my bike and Sissy and I have a car so..." At that moment, the Blacks showed up. Bella came back outside. The conversation went mostly the same as the movie except with Cat bragging about my skills as a mechanic. Bella, Cat and I agreed to go to school for the first time in my Mercedes CLK350 black convertible.
...
Cat, Bella and I ignored everyone until we had to separate for class just before lunch. Bella had gym while Cat and I had Biology since Cat managed to get in the same classes as me due to my Father's interference claiming her to be smarter than everyone the age people think she is (apparently, she's actually about 3000 years old). When we entered the classroom, we saw Alice. The two of us shared a look when we realised the two spare seats weren't next to each other and one was by Alice. I gestured to her that I'd take the one next to Alice and she nodded before sitting down in the other seat. I took a deep breath before putting on my noise-cancelling headphones and sitting next to her. The moment I sat down, I felt myself pulled into a vision.
"Hi, I'm Alice Cullen," Alice said while looking at me. I couldn't hear her due to the headphones and Alice looked annoyed when I didn't respond. "What's your name?" Alice waited for a few seconds before getting even more annoyed. She looked at my headphones and sighed. Then, she tapped me on the shoulder. I looked at her and took my headphones off.
"What?" I asked, annoyed.
"What's wrong with you? Why were you ignoring me?"
"I wasn't. I couldn't hear you. The headphones are noise-cancelling," I said.
"So you decided to ignore everyone? That's so rude."
"I put them on because I didn't feel like socialising. Sometimes, I feel that way. My Sister gets the same sometimes," I said before gesturing to Cat who had her noise-cancelling headphones around her neck.
"Oh... Why can't I see you?"
"What?"
"Nothing," she said before looking away.
"No, what did you mean?"
"Nothing."
"I'm being serious."
"So am I." She stared at me in shock when my eyes turned red and my hair set on fire with blue flames.
"You're so infuriating!" I yelled. "Tell me what you meant!" She cowered a little and everyone else ran out of the room screaming except for Alice and Cat.
"What are you?" Alice asked in fear and awe.
I was pulled out of the vision. Huh. Damn it. I guess I have to talk to the annoying pixie to avoid exposing myself. I faced her and she faced me. That vision was weird since I was looking out and watching myself and Alice talk. It was kinda like watching myself talk to someone in a video or on TV but it was in person. At least I know she can't see me in her visions though. I guess it's like the Wolves. "Hi, I'm Alice Cullen," she said.
"I'm Cassiopeia Swan but I prefer Cassie."
"Cool. It's nice to meet you, Cassie," she said. "If you don't mind me asking, what's with the headphones?"
"Oh, I have Autism," I said. "Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed or overstimulated and if I don't calm down or switch off, I end up having panic attacks and the headphones are noise-cancelling so they block everything else out and make it easier for me to just focus on myself. My Sister, Cat, is the same but she has social anxiety and not Autism. That's why she has noise-cancelling headphones too. But sometimes I use my headphones to drown everything out by blasting music on the highest setting as that sometimes works better but not always. Sometimes, when we're wearing them, people think we're being rude but we're not. We just have to focus on ourselves and our own well-being above others' but we still care about what others think too it's just... Sometimes, it's a little hard."
"I get that. I sometimes get overwhelmed too. Some things I see or hear are... Difficult... So you have a Sister?"
"Cat was adopted by my Dad, Charlie, but I have a twin too. Her name's Isabella but she prefers Bella. What about you? Do you have Siblings?"
"My Siblings and I were all adopted by our Parents, Carlisle and Esme. Carlisle is a Doctor and Esme is an architect. She designed our house. There's my Brother, Edward. He's in our year. Then, there's Emmett. He's dating Rosalie and Rosalie's twin, Jasper, is my Boyfriend. Rosalie and Jasper were Esme's older Sister's kids and she and her Husband died in a car accident when they were 7. Carlisle's older Brother was Edward, Emmett and I's Dad before he and our Mom died in a gas explosion when I was 4 on their date night in a hotel." I have to admit, they put a lot of effort into their backstory but they have had years to perfect it.
