AN: Hey, there are some things I think you guys should know about my story. Originally I was writing this story without any break, but as I continued I decided, that I would end up dividing up the sections anyway.
Also this story is A SPOILER if you haven't gotten to reading New Moon yet.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight or its characters. However I did write this story which is mine along with the new characters in it.
So enjoy. : (Sorry about how long this was.)
As we drove past the town limits into Forks, we both sighed with relief. We had finally made it. So, I thought this is the ever rainy, ever cloudy Forks, the one place where vampires could actually live. I looked about the sides of the road. Each side was covered in various shades of green foliage.
I grinned at Gabriel; he flashed his cute smile at me. My heart just melted when he did that, it was so adorable. "Did you put up your mind block yet?" I asked him, "You do know they have a mind reader in the family." He nodded eagerly, his excitement beaming through.
Good, I thought, this was all going well. We had got here fairly fast, less than a day, but then again, there was no need to make any stops. I stared at my side window, thank god for tainted windows. The last thing I wanted to do was have to take the long way, and personally this new diet was already hard as it was, the last thing I needed was to get out of the car to smell nice fresh human blood.
Shit, not exactly the best thing to be thinking about right now. I looked at Gabriel, I knew he hadn't been reading my mind, my mind block was up. And even if he somehow had heard, he wasn't acting like he had. His face pressed to the glass looking eagerly at landscape.
It was so weird to think what it was like to be Gabriel, for me it would be really frustrating to be stuck six for the rest of your life. (So far for him exactly 200 years, I wasn't even close to that) The things you would never get to do, drive, drink, go to college, or even high school. Yet, he never seemed tired of it. Which I guess makes sense, plenty of people would kill to live an eternity as a kid.
"Jera?" asked Gabriel's tiny voice. I nodded my head letting him I'd heard. "Do you know where we're going?" I shook my head. "Then how do you know where to go?" He held up his finger in protest.
I pulled out my cell and flipped it open. Gabriel smiled, satisfied. I called the operator. "I need an address…" I waited as the woman droned on. "Name, Carlisle Cullen. And the town's Forks, Washington…….Yeah ok got it…no, no I've got it…yes thanks." I pressed End and closed my phone.
"Happy?" I asked.
"How are you going to remember it?" Gabriel retorted.
I smiled, "You know me well enough to know that's not a question."
He pouted, wishing he had gotten his way. I patted his head. Gabriel pushed me away. "Stop that, I'm technically older than you." Playfully I stuck my tongue out at him. He retuned the gesture.
"We're almost there, so be good otherwise I'll kick you out of the car, and you wont know where to go," I teased.
He smirked. Ok, I'm forgiven, I thought. Sometimes it was hard to tell when he was kidding or serious, but I guess two centuries might make you hard to read.
I turned onto a small road, which I hoped was the Cullen's driveway. It surprised me a little, because in Omaha we didn't entirely remove ourselves from the town like they did. And we have more to hide, considering that the sun was out a lot more in Omaha then it was in Forks. When I had been researching Forks, I found that this was probably the rainiest place in America.
The twists and turns of the road really got me. I wasn't quite expecting that. Were the Cullen's snobby? I wouldn't think so. Esme was friends Bethany, and they had a foreseer living there, she would have seen us coming when we first decided to several weeks ago.
Finally I drove out of the woods, and a white mansion came into view. It was a nice cheery thing to look at compared to the lightless path we had just gone through. I pulled to the side and stopped the engine.
"We're here," I smiled.
"I kind of figured that."
"Oh please don't be so gloom, would you rather be here or Alaska?"
Not waiting for him to reply I got out of the car and started walking up to the house. Despite his silent footsteps, I knew Gabriel was following. I grinned to myself. He was the best little brother anyone could ask for, biological or not.
"Want to make it a race?" I asked over my shoulder.
"Not in particular."
"Oh come on, it'll be fun."
"Fine," Gabriel whined, tired of my antics.
"Ok, on your mark, get set…" He had already started running. I decided to let him win, even though I could still have beaten him.
In a second or a little more, we were at the door. Gabriel reached up and pressed his finger to the doorbell. He looked up at me, his angel face glowing. When I saw his face, I was glad I had let him win.
Carlisle opened the door. Well, at least I assumed it was him, he looked like the guy in the picture we had of him. His face looked a little perplexed.
"Um…hi," he said. His thought's mulled on top of me. Was anyone expecting company? No, I'm sure no one was. And what's up with them they…I'm not sure it doesn't make sense, maybe I just don't notice blood anymore. Damn, I thought my eyes, the blue shoot.
"Just let us come in for a second," I scrambled. He started closing the door. I grabbed Gabriel's hand and ran into the house.
Carlisle stared at me in shock. I opened my mouth, but the rest of the room filled up. There was a scent of blood. Both Gabriel and I whipped our heads to the source of it…a human.
The human was a girl, around my "age". Her eyes opened in horror. Either we were very menacing or she knew about the Cullen's. I was going to go with the first one. One guy, around her age too wrapped his arm around her, and let out a tiny hiss.
Something was trying to get into my mind. Ah, I thought, this must be the mind reader. I allowed myself to open my mind to hear his thoughts. What is going on? I can't read either of them. Why are they here? Will they hurt Bella? Why… I closed his mind off, ugh way to many questions. It was just plain annoying. "Stop trying," I whispered to him.
The vampire I had whispered to, stared at me. His mouth hung open, but not like a normal guy's did when he spotted my exquisite features. I knew this one was about what I had just told him.
I tried the girl, Bella. I got nothing. What? No, she couldn't have a mind block, there was just no way. Narrowing my eyes I let out a tiny snarl.
It was then that I realized everyone in the room was quiet. And I felt all their eyes on me. This doesn't make sense, don't they know why we're here or at least who we were. It then hit me, what if the foreseer hadn't seen this?
"Oh, no," I looked at Gabriel, who was staring intently on the human, resisting the urge to attack her. "Gabriel," I hissed. He looked at me with his big eyes.
"What?" he growled his voice a far cry from the normal squeaky.
"They don't know."
"What do you mean? Of course they know. They have a foreseer."
"Read them, they honestly don't know."
