I saw them staring at me today.
It wasn't the first time. Yesterday they looked at me weirdly. The only ones who didn't take notice were the two that were a couple. Bella and Edward were talking as if no one was listening. The other two just stared at me. When I looked back at them their eyes never left me. I started to panic wondering what they were thinking. If only I was like my older brother, Dylan, he was a mind reader. But I was what I was. A destroyer, someone hated because of my power. At least that's how I saw myself. My friends that knew about my power always told me controlling fire and lightning could come in handy. I believed them until they said that one word: could.
"Ella! Ella!" said Rhett hitting my arm. I looked away from the creepy Cullens to my friends and one of my brothers. Remy is my twin and my friends were Rhett and Ryan. Remy is exactly like me, plays basketball, random, and troublesome. While Rhett was smart and Ryan a skater-boy. "What do you think?"
"What?" I asked completely confused.
"Do you think Jessica likes me?" he asked me and I looked at Remy.
"Uh I'm not sure why don't you ask her." I suggested.
""Never mind." he said and started stabbing his fork into his salad. Ryan looked at me and smiled gently. I smiled back and looked at my brother. He was looking at the Cullens well more like glaring. I turned around and got up dumping my tray and leaving the cafeteria. I could feel my brother's worried look on me.
Why were they staring at me? Me of all people in the cafeteria, of all the people in the school. They scared me but fascinated me. Why was their skin so white like no blood flowed through them? Why were they so beautiful and why did they skip days that were sunny?
Why were they so...like me? Like my brothers, like my parents, like my family? The only thing different was that we weren't perfectly beautiful and we went out in the sun. Why were they so out of this world...like us?
Thoughts brought people many places. So here I was outside in the cold with no sweater on and it was snowing. It didn't bother me. It never did. I was always so warm unlike my twin who was always so cold. I walked out of the school grounds and for hours I wondered in the woods. Alone and inhuman. I sat down in a small clearing and pulled small sticks into a small hole in front of me. I put the sticks down so they looked like they could have a fire burning on them and I looked around as if someone was there. I lit my hands up, and concentrated as fire burst onto my hands from the flesh of my skin. I placed my hands on the sticks and a small fire started. When the fire left my hands I put my index right finger into the fire and pulled it out. Now my finger looked as if it was a candle. I stood up and turned around to face the tree behind me. I wrote on it and it said, 30. That was it, just two numbers. Thirty days still I got my full powers in, till I
could do anything. I sat back down putting the fire out and started to walk back.
I looked at my watch and read 3:44. Crack. I turned around but nothing was there, not a soul I could see. It started raining and I looked up. My parents were mad I wasn't home. I shot my finger up into the sky and lightning shot making a bright streak of brightness across the sky. My sixteen year old brother, Roy would be here any second.
Crack. Again I heard it. It echoed throughout the small clearing. Someone put themselves in the sunlight and I could see it was a boy. His hair was cut short and he looked maybe a little mad to see me.
"What are you doing here?" he asked me and I looked at him questioningly.
"Where?"
"La Push. You know you vampires aren't allowed down here." he said and my eyes widened and I laughed.
"I'm not a vampire. I'm a girl." I said, emphasizing on the word girl and stopped laughing. He looked surprised but nevertheless he relaxed.
"I'm Jacob Black." he said and I smiled.
"Rosella Knight nice to meet you." I said and shook the hand he held before me. We both dropped our hands to the side. "I'd better get home."
"I'll walk you." he said and we started on the direction of my house. "Where do you go to school?"
"Forks High School. I'm guessing you go on the reservation." I said and he nodded. "And you're a werewolf." I stated it simply looking forward.
"Yes and you're not normal." he said and we laughed.
"True." I said. He looked at me in question. "I can control fire."
"No way! That's so cool!" he said smiling and I laughed.
"Here we are. Bye Jake." I said and disappeared inside my house.
