Emily's Story1

"Hey Edward!" I yelled over to my brother. "Can I have the keys to the Volvo?" I asked him.

"Why?" he shouted back. Was all of this shouting necessary? No, so in a blink of an eye was next to my brother who by the way was on the other side of our mile long driveway. Okay so it wasn't really a mile long, just about 4 ½ meters to be exact. "So can I have the keys to the Volvo?" I asked him once more.

"Why?" was his only word.

"Well see, Rose won't let me drive her car and I don't like driving Emmett's Hummer. So I thought that maybe I could use yours." I told him. Technically it wasn't a lie. I really didn't like driving Emmett's Hummer, but Rosalie always let me drive her car. I tried not to think about it though, for I knew that if Edward found out, my bet with Bella was off. Instead I thought of coco.

"Um… Em, why are you thinking of coco?" He asked me. I suddenly knew my reason.

"Cause we're out of coco," that was true, "and I really want some." I stated. "Fine, but just get your coco and nothing else. Straight there and back, got it?" he said while handing me the keys to the car.

"Sure, no prob," I told him. I hear Bella sigh from her room. I had won the bet.

So on my way back from the store, I decided to go faster. Well I was already going at about 95mph in a 40mph zone, so by fast I meant about 110. We all drove really fast, well except Bella, and never got caught. One of the many talents of being a vampire, or half vampire in my case. I was listening to music when suddenly a gray shape appeared in the middle of the road. I didn't even sense it until I was a meter away. I quickly swerved the car around trying not to hit it. There was a small thump and the car did an almost 360 spin and was now in the middle of the road, right side up by the way. I quickly got out of the car and checked to see if it was damaged, it wasn't. Then I looked under the car to see an unconscious body next to it. Oh my gosh, I quickly grabbed my cell and called Edward. "Hello," That's when I started to freak out.

"Oh my gosh Edward! Oh my gosh, I think I just ran over someone!"

"What!" he screamed/asked.

"I think I just ran over someone!" I repeated to him. "I'm about a mile from home, bring Carlisle," I hung up before he could say anything. I took a deep breath, but that didn't work. I started to shake, in fear or of panic or of nervousness I didn't know. Suddenly, I felt a wave of calmness over me. I turned around to see Jasper.

"Oh my gosh Jasper. I just ran over someone!" I started panicking again. He held my hands to stop the shaking, but it wasn't doing any good. Carlisle and Edward appeared suddenly.

"Where is he?" asked Carlisle.

"On the other side of the car" I told him. He nodded and went there.

"Are you okay?" asked Edward. I shook my head. Suddenly I started yelling. "Am I okay!? No I am not okay. I just ran over someone Edward! This has never happened before! I didn't even sense till I was feet away from hitting him. It's a miracle I didn't hit him straight on!" I stopped shouting and started to tremble again. I looked at Edward, he looked stunned and surprised. He pulled me towards him and gave me a hug. I was completely amazed.

"I'm just glad your okay" he told me. He handed me to Jasper, who held me too, and headed of to help Carlisle. Jasper held me until I stopped shaking, sending waves of calmness towards me. I stopped shaking and he slowly let go. He looked at me carefully, making sure I didn't start to freak out again, I didn't.

"I'm sure he's just fine Emi," he told me. I shook my head wanting to believe him. I turned towards the car again to find Edward carrying my victim. For the first time I looked at his face and groaned. The boy was one from my school. Great, things couldn't get any better than this.

"Nothing broken, he's just unconscious." Carlisle assured me. "Either way I'm taking him back home to make sure he's okay when he wakes up." With that, he and Edward took off.

I handed Jasper the keys to the car. No way was I driving. Once we were back at home, Jasper parked the Volvo, but he didn't get out. I could tell he wanted to say something, so I stayed. My sister instincts were right. "Emily, do you know who that is? He asked me.

"Yep, he's in my grade. Remember that I told you about the one who to avoid me and I him whenever possible?" I asked him.

"That's him?" he asked. I shook my in yes. "Great just what we needed," he mumbled so low that I almost didn't hear him. What? As we got out of the car I kept asking what he meant, but he ignored me. Instead he walked straight through the front door and into the kitchen, where everyone was waiting, except Carlisle. I could tell by their faces that they where about to explode, but apparently Edward had told them of my freak out. The first to break the silence was Jasper. "We need to hold a meeting, now." He said gravely. All nodded and then turned their heads toward me.

"Oh, I get it. It's a full vampire thing." I said trying not to sound hurt. "You know, that's discrimination." I told them. I turned around and headed for the sun room. I was about to open the sliding door that led to the sunroom, that lead to our orchard long backyard, when I heard someone going down the back stairs. It was Carlisle. Suddenly, he looked up surprised. Obviously he didn't expect me there.

"Oh Emily, are you going out?" he asked me.

"Yep. Oh by the way there is a family meeting in the kitchen," I told him while rolling my eyes.

"Good, good. Aren't you going to listen in?" he asked me. I looked at him curiously and shook my head.

"It's a full vampire meeting only" I told him.

"Okay, be safe" with that he walked away.

Our house had the best backyard ever! Well in my opinion anyway. Our house was close to the woods in (insert not very sunny town in US here, except for Forks). So we had pretty much the whole woods to our selves, since it also was part of the state park. I was heading of to my favorite spot in the whole park. Somebody must have lived here before us, because one of the trees in front of the lake had a tree house built on it. Actually now it was more of a platform with two walls. I discovered it when we were exploring the park. I immediately called it mine. Of course, my brothers and sisters came here often, but it was mostly my place to think.
