I'm a phantom, or that's what I call myself. I can phase through solid objects. My name is Skye. I'm just about to start high school at Forks High. Wish me luck.
As I walked into the cafeteria a new smell hit my nose, and it wasn't the smell of food. Vampires, at least 4 of them, maybe more. My eyes darted around the eating space, landing on a table in the back, there were five of them, 3 guys and 2 girls. I grinned as I realized they hadn't caught my scent yet, this was going to be fun.
What would freak them out the most? Then it hit me. I strode over to their table and sat down next to the guy with blond hair.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked him innocently. The look on his face was priceless.
"N-nothing," he stuttered. Hmm, a stuttering vampire… interesting. I took a bite of my pizza. I looked at the girl next to the blond one, who had spiky black hair and designer clothes.
"How about you?" She just STARED AT ME! After an uncomfortable pause I decided to speak again. "Okay then." I ate my pizza and sipped my water while looking down at the table, or around at the other kids, knowing if I met anyone's eyes they would have the same confused look in them.
When the bell rang for lunch I got up, waved goodbye, and headed off to my 5th period. None of them had classes with me, so it was pretty boring for the rest of the day. As I walked towards my car I saw them getting into the silver Volvo next to it, and right before they drove off I overheard the words 'camping' and 'tomorrow'.
I smiled to myself.
It was Saturday, so I decided to follow them, of course I knew they weren't really camping. As I ran to their house I formed a plan in my mind. They wouldn't be able to track my scent, or hear me coming or leaving, so I decided to pop by each one of them in turn.
I waited outside their house as they split into groups, there were two more older-looking ones with them. I had learned their names from Jessica Stanley, who wouldn't stop blabbing about Edward after I asked her a question that couldn't be simpler. "What are their names?"
I almost sighed, remembering, but managed to stop myself before the sound escaped my lips. The groups were the following, Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, and Edward, and Esme, Alice, and Rosalie. Boys and girls groups. The girls went south and the guys went North.
Following the boys first, I fell into step half a mile behind them, careful not to be seen. They were deep into the forest before they began to split up and spread out a little bit, then chose Edward's trail. I watched him from a little ways away
Right when he was about to spring onto an elk I slinked forward a bit, to get a better view of him. The it happened, he froze, golden eyes boring into my blue ones.
What is he doing? He couldn't have spotted me? If he has, does he know what I am? I thought frantically. He raised and eyebrow. Insert a curse word of your choice here, A MIND READER!
Quickly I turned and raced back to where they had split up. Now I chose Jasper. He wasn't as far away as Edward was, so I found him quickly, feeding on a small bear. When he finished he tossed aside the carcass. His phone rang. Wiping the blood from his mouth, he answered it.
"You saw a who? What? Okay, I'll look for her, Emmett won't be any helpful. You already called him? Edward! Now he'd going to be cranky. 'K, bye." He hung up. I ran over to stand before him and smiled.
"Hey Jazz, what's up?" And then I was gone again, hiding behind a tree. He blinked stupidly and I held in a giggle, then sniffed the air. His expression turned strange. Probably wondering why my scent wasn't there.
Someone grabbed my shoulders from behind me and I froze.
"Gottcha." Emmett muttered, feeling victorious. I grimaced in annoyance, while he yelled to Jasper. "Jazz I got her! Who's unhelpful now?" He boasted. The Jasper was standing next to me, looking confused, and a little scared.
"You were watching me?" He asked bluntly. I nodded.
"Yup," I replied, popping the p.
"You saw me feeding?"
"Yup."
"You're not scared? And how did you run so fast? Why wasn't I able to track you?" Edward and Carlisle appeared then, having backtracked to find us. I immediately started repeating the musical Annie in my head, having memorized it when I was 5. Yes, I'm just that fascinating.
He glared at me. I smiled pleasantly back at him.
"Hello, I didn't get the chance to introduce myself properly at lunch with you all staring rudely at me, my name is Skye," I held out my hand for him to shake. He glared harder.
"What are you?" He growled almost too low for me to hear.
"And the rudeness continues…" I muttered, of course they heard me. Emmett's booming laughter filled the trees, causing a smile to spread across of my face. Edward called a number on his cell phone.
"Hey Rose, we have…Skye here, we're heading back to the house, she has some explaining to do,' hanging up we started to walk back at a slow human pace, at that rate it would take over 2 hours to reach our destination.
"Come on!" I yelled and ran at Vampire speed, surprising Emmett who lost his grip on my shoulders and having to race to catch up with me. When we arrived at the giant, white house-mansion I knocked on the door, being first. Esme answered it.
"Hello, you must be Skye, uh... where are the boys?"
"They're too slow to catch up with a human," I replied, smiling sweetly at her, "may I come in?" She nodded and stepped aside so I could enter. I walked into the living room where Alice and Rosalie were sitting and leaned up against the wall, waiting for the others. Esme joined us and sat next to Alice.
Then Edward burst through the door, "We lost her, she's fast!" Then he looked at me. I waved, "Oh." Carlisle, Jasper, and then Emmett came through the door next. all looking surprised to see me waiting for them. When we were all there and paying attetion to me I smiled and spoke,
"I'm a Phantom."
