We headed out into the woods. It was the place the most felt like home to me. I was brought back down from my cloud of thoughts by Rosalie's impatient voice.
"What were we doing out here again? It as such a boring conversation that I found my nails more interesting than what this weirdo had to say."
"May I remind you Rosalie that it was you that asked me the question in the first place. So I suggest you stop speaking out of your asshole and listen to what people have to say. Or it's gonna get messy." She was so irritable! I just had to snap at her.
"Let's watch what Alexa has to show us, shall we?" It was Alice that settled then dispute between us. I closed my eyes and did what I did to shapeshift. I focused on doing something noticeable, like an eagle. I felt myself grow wings where my arms were, my mouth stretching into a sharp beak. My toes turned into razor sharp talons, and there I was, hovering in front of them. As an eagle.
"Holy shit!" Emmett exclaimed. I cawed deafeningly.
"What the fuck is happening right now? This is cool shit, I have to admit." Emmett was being, um, outright. I transformed myself back into a vampire, standing gracefully and kind of awkwardly in front of them all.
"And your other talent?" Alice prompted.
"Right," I didn't like this one. I tried to avoid using it. But I had to show them. I focused on a mouse I saw scuttling along a fallen tree. The others followed my stare and everyone but Rosalie waited patiently for me to do my thing. I imagined it dying. And suddenly it just did. It dropped dead in front of our topaz eyes. "Don't mess with me or you'll end up like the mouse." I said it as a bit of the joke but the looks I got suggested that they took me seriously.
