Okay, so this is my first ever Twilight fanfic! Woohoo- it's so exciting! Anyway, I can't wait to hear what you guys think about it...If I get enough reviews, I'll carry on. If not, I'll probably just delete it anyway. I may have made some mistakes concerning the characters and/or places, so please excuse them.
The first time I ever came so close to attacking a human was a month after I had been changed. I was in the shopping mall with Tanya, who kept a tight grip on my wrist; yeah, like that'd ever have stopped me. I could've pushed her to the ground, wrapped my arms around her and crushed her. But I wouldn't have dared. I was too coward, too naive to ever think to do something like that. The world of...vampires (I still shudder to say that word) was one I was afraid of never growing used to. Having a person like Tanya by my side was like a toddler with its mother. That's exactly what you could call me at that time. A toddler. Because that's what I was. A newborn. I was a person that wasn't aware of the new sights, smells and hearing I had obtained in three days of unexplainable agony...
We were in the clothes section. I noticed a nearby saleslady steal glances of longing in Tanya's direction. Who could blame her? Tanya had to be on of the most beautiful people I had ever seen. With her long, blonde curls; a subtle strawberry tint to them, her fierce golden eyes, her perfectly formed lips, arched eyebrows, small and perfectly formed nose and long and slender body and pale skin, she would easily outshine any model.
I looked so dull in comparison with her, even as a vampire. I looked hideous in comparison with anyone in the house. Kate, Carmen, Eleazer. I gave a sigh which made Tanya look me over with a speculative gleam in her eyes.
"Something wrong?" Even her sing- song voice was perfect, I had realised as I shook my head. I gazed around the mall, ignoring the stares Tanya was receiving. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a red-head with huge grey eyes walk past me and that's when it all happened. I lost my grip.
It was her smell. Intoxicating wasn't even the word to describe it because it was so much more intense. I could smell the strong scent of cinnamon and the sweet, sugary smell of honey. I could almost taste the nectar running down my throat. Tanya hadn't noticed anything until I lunged with a growl. And then I felt myself being grabbed around the waist. It was almost feeble compared to my strength and I felt myself shuddering under her arms, knowing it would be only too easy to free myself from Tanya's grip, grab the girl and sink my teeth into her neck...
"Is your sister feeling okay, ma'am?" came the anxious sound of the saleslady's voice.
I could see how she could mistake me for her sister. We had the same pale skin.
I felt myself feeze in Tanya's mock- embrace. I hadn't realised, but the redhead had turned around and surveyed the situation with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Oh, everything's fine," Tanya assured in a silky voice. "In fact, I think it's time to go home now, don't you?" She looked directly at me and for a second I thought I saw sympathy in her eyes. I must've looked a disgusting mess to her with my hair in a disarray, my lip pulled back over my teeth, my eyes wild with hunger. I relaxed and nodded.
"Yes. I think we should leave now," I muttered. I doubted the saleslady had ever looked so baffled in her life...
It took us approximately five minutes to get home. I don't know what it is with vampires and lunatic driving. But, believe me, when you're in the car with someone driving at 80 mph, it's instinct to scream out in fright. Tanya shot me a glare.
"Thank god nothing happened at the mall," she mused out aloud.
"Yes, we wouldn't want to tarnish your perfect reputation," I snarled back. She sighed and didn't reply.
Sometimes it seemed as if Tanya hated me, which was probably why I was beginning to develop mutual feelings. I had never been able to understand as to why Tanya had changed me in the first place.
"I just knew you were special the first time I saw you," she would always answer with a reply and a shrug if I questioned. Special? Ha! The only thing I can do is escape Kate's freakish electricity thingy. Urghh.

When we entered the house, Eleazer, Kate and Carmen stood together just behind the door, as if waiting for us.
"What? What is it?" demanded Tanya. I could tell whatever news they had, it wasn't bad. Carmen let a slow smile spread over her face, making her look more stunning than ever.
"The Cullens' are coming to stay."
Criticism welcome and...enjoy!
