As he walked into the Cullen's grand living room, Griffin could instantly feel all eyes turning towards him. He had, as usual, been careful not to make eye contact with anyone, but for just a split second he dropped his guard and met the first piercing gaze that his eyes fell upon. One moment it felt as though everything was normal, that he himself was normal and had not been given his infamous ability. Then came the shock he should have gotten used to after all these years. Everything happened very fast; "Jasper!" Edward exclaimed as his brother, who was the unfortunate one to be meeting Griffin's gaze, began to shake and clutch his head in his hands. A look of pure anguish was etched upon his face. "Don't look at him! Avoid his eyes!" Edward said in an authoritative voice and all the family members obliged, though not without hesitation. It was clear that they were concerned about Jasper, and would not let the one who hurt him get away with it easily. Griffin looked down, trying not to think, knowing that Edward could read every thought, and that Jasper was still in pain."
