Jada
Jada
Jada stood she was preparing to leave as she swung her bag over her shoulder. She was in a hotel room alone in Seattle. She knew where she was going and she knew how to get there. Her goal in mind she shut the door with a snap and prepared to check out thinking this a simple task, but what she didn't know was she was not the only one heading to forks.

"Would that be all today?" the man at the front desk asked as I handed him my room key for checkout.
"Yes thank you." I replied with a smile.
"Alright, valet is here with your car ma'am." He said returning my smile.
"Thank you." I said again taking my receipt as he handed it to me. Humans could be so interesting.
I stepped out the front door, sliding my shades over my eyes. Even with the early half light I felt better with them on. Just then I smiled as my 1966 fastback Mustang was parked In front of me. I handed the valet my conformation card and a fifty dollar tip. A smile lit up his face as he realized what I handed him. He graciously opened my door and tipped his hat, "Have a great day ma'am." He said as he shut my door. I fastened my seatbelt, shifted, and squealed my tires out of the parking lot.
It was still early so the freeway was not as packed as it could have been, still the slow congested highway made the speed I was planning on keeping quite difficult. Even with the slow pace I made fair time. Within the hour I was pulling into Forks. To gather my bearings I stopped into a small diner.
I ordered a small black coffee. I wasn't planning on drinking it. I scanned the front page of the newspaper, nothing new. I adjusted the paper to cover my face. I spread all of my senses to see, feel, and hear what everyone was thinking. I prided my gifts.
You see, as a vampire not everyone has gifts. I pride myself on the simple fact that I have three and counting. Feeling was my first one. I can feel what the people around me are feeling. That was strange. When I was still a newborn, I had difficulty. If you can imagine having no idea what is happening to you and then on top of that you can feel what everyone else around you is feeling. Not easy. The second was seeing. I can read peoples minds and if need be I can place certain images in their thoughts, nothing false. Only things which are factual. I like this one. Very useful. The third and most recent is something I've always thought about. Teleporting. I can "shift" as I call it from one area to the next. I can "shift" other objects too. This has to be my favorite gift by far. All of my gifts are blessings, and all of them are useful.
As I scanned the area for any thoughts or feelings about them, I heard many other things I found somewhat useful. Like the weather for the next week and the menu for the restaurant. Finding nothing more interesting than that, I put the paper down and left a bill on the table. I stepped out into the crisp morning air sliding the shades down as I went. As I walked towards my car I noticed the deep purple storm clouds gathering over my head.
After driving a ways I stopped at a small motel on the edge of town. I checked into my room and put down my bag. It defiantly wasn't the Marriot but it would do. I had nothing to unpack so I tried reading for awhile. After about an hour of that I decided to go for a walk. I scooped up my ipod as I stepped out the door. I popped my earbuds in as I walked down the main road. I just let my feet take me where they wanted to go not worrying about where I ended up.
As I walked heavy raindrops began to fall from the thick clouds as I walked. I kept walking I liked the rain. It was not late but the sky was growing ever darker in pretense to the storm brewing. Thunder and lightening accompanied the ever growing darkness. Still I kept walking.
Then I heard it.
I heard what I had been looking for. In addition to the thunder and other crashing sound could be heard. To the untrained ear it would sound like thunder, but to me it was the sound of success. I strained my overly sensitive hearing and honed in on the area it was coming from. When I was sure of a direction I prepared myself. Glancing around me to ensure they're were no witnesses I closed my eyes and shifted.
When I opened my eyes I was standing in the middle of a forest. I could hear laughing to my right. I stepped cautiously through the fauna until the laughing abruptly stopped. I could see her mind now.
"Alice, what's wrong?" someone cried from the clearing in front of me.
"Alice." The voice said again. I was close enough that I could see the figures gathering around another in the clearing. She had seen me.
"Someone's coming" she said shortly. I smiled to myself. Knowing I had caught the by surprise gave me small satisfaction. I could feel him too. He was pressing himself into my mind, but I was strong. I blocked him easily.
"How long do we have?" A mans voice asked calmly.
"I don't know, I think she's here." The girl replied.
"Edward, is she close?" the mans voice asked. I could see by the look on Edwards face that he was frustrated.
"I don't know. I can't see her. Well I can see she's close but I can't tell." He said in a frustrated voice.
"What do you mean you don't know?" A female voice said shrilly.
"I can't see her…" he said again.
"I don't understand." Someone said.
"I know she's close, but I can't see." He continued to concentrate.
"Do we have time?" A cool male voice asked.
"No. She's here." Alice stated simply, looking my direction. I figured the jig was up so I stepped into the clearing very slowly. I approached them all at human speed not wanting to alarm anyone.
When I was close enough I pasted on a smile. "I thought I heard a game." I stated looking around at the baseball gear they had. "Need another player?" I asked confidently.
A man stepped forward. He was tall handsome and young looking. I knew him, though not personally I could see who he was. Carlisle Cullen. He held out his hand to me. I shook it.
"Hello, my name is Carlisle C-."
"Cullen." I finished for him brightly. I introduced myself to him as I openly let Edward probe my mind. He was standing at an angle behind Carlisle, and as Carlisle began introducing me to faces I already knew, he casually sidestepped to create a barrier between her and I.
Carlisle continued the introductions Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Edward, and Bella. At her name the wind rustled Bella's hair. Deffinatly human. She smelled incredible. "I can see why she appeals to you so much." I said with a smile in their direction. Edward did not like this comment at all and a low growl erupted from his chest.
"Forgive my brash words, but that's rude!" I stated. "You can completely read my mind, you see I mean her no harm, and still you are rude!"
"Edward she's right." Esme said softly.
"I'm not someone you have to protect her from." I stated gracefully.
"Is that so?" Carlisle asked curiously.
"Yes. I'm like you. I don't feed on humans." I told him confidently.
"Oh, well that's interesting." He replied pleasantly surprised.
"That's why I'm here actually. I met some of your friends of yours in Denali." I said smiling as a smile lit up his beautiful features.
"Is that so?" He asked again.
"Yes, they sent along a message as well. So you know I'm a friend. They say the weather is fine for a visit." I finished confidently. A low chuckle erupted from his chest.
"Yes I suppose you are a friend." He said.
"So how 'bout that game?" I asked subtly.
"Well are you fast?" Emmet asked as he stepped forward baseball in hand. I took a step toward him and relieved him of the ball. I turned and pitched the ball as hard as I could. I waited a moment and sped after it. I caught it a few miles later, and in a flash I dropped the ball back into the waiting hand of Emmet. I giggled at the look on his face.
"She's on our team!" he cried. I just laughed and took my place in the "outfield" as Edward stepped up the plate to bat. He hit a fly ball and I was on I tin seconds. I stepped lightly as I threw it back to Alice on the mound. Out. There were a few more hits and a few grounders before it happened. Carlisle was standing maybe 200 yards from me when I heard them. Ball in hand I began I spin wildly trying with difficulty to get a lock on their position. I dropped the ball and turned abruptly to Carlisle, "Are you aware of the fact that you are being tracked?" I asked with conviction as I spun to face him.
"What?" He said with a shocked expression on his face. Everyone had heard me they were circling me in a flash. With my eyes closed I pointed to my left. "They want you" I said, It was Edwards voice I heard.
"They'll have to get through me to get to her." He growled fiercely. I opened my eyes to correct him. "No. Not her, you." I stated plainly pointing my finger at him more clearly.
