New Life

The ground was covered with snow, but I didn't feel the cold. The burning I felt. Have you ever burned yourself? Multiply that by about fifty-thousand, and then spread the pain throughout your entire body inside and out. That's what it felt like. Eventually I lost consciousness...

I woke to the sound of sniffing. Well if you could call hearing a sound waking because that's all I did."Yuck! Disgusting blood-sucker!"The voice beside me growled. Not only was I in pain, but this guy was wrongly insulting me. As well as confusing me.
"Whatta we do?"Asked a voice from behind."Kill 'er." The voice beside me replied. SCREAM!!!I begged myself, but I continued to lie still.

It was then that I heard soft footsteps come from about ten yards away."Evening gentlemen. What brings you here?"I assumed he looked down at me because he continued by saying."Ahh..."He sniffed the air next. How did I hear that?"A newborn?"He sounded a bit nervous."Soon she w..."I never heard the ending.

Unfortunately that was because every nerve was screaming. My heart was slowing and I know it sounds cheesy, but I literally saw my life flash before my eyes. I should've gone out more. Then my heartbeats got slower and slower until they stopped. I waited, but the darkness didn't come I wasn't dead. Cautiously I sat up and opened my eyes.

To my right there was a tall tan man with cropped short hair and gray slits for his eyes .He carried an air of cockiness. I didn't like him. His partner was shorter with long brown hair and a nervous expression clouded his blue eyes. Both were tan and shirtless with that horrible wet dog smell.

Further back I saw a man with golden blonde hair and golden eyes. He smelled like rain and clouds, with honey and he smelled absolutely wonderful."Come."His sweet melting tune commanded. I did. When I reached him he grabbed my hand and pulled, but nothing happened. The two guys stepped forward."I wouldn't do that if I were you. She could snap you in half by pushing you."They hesitated, and then retreated."Good riddance."

He turned toward me."Let's go."It was a comand, so when I didn't follow he turned back angrily."What?"He growled. "What's going on? I want answers.""Not now we must hurry."

"Why?"

"Those things will come back with more than enough of them to kill you."His voice was monotone as if he didn't care. I realized I didn't either I lost the one thing...I shook my head."Do you want to die?"His tone implied awe."Why should I trust you?"I said instead of answering. His face showed empathy for a second, but quickly went back to a blank expression."You shouldn't, but come any way."He walked away again, but this time he didn't stop.

I stared out the window searching for the sun that left an hour ago. The dismal greens blurring as we raced by at eighty miles an hour. I was sitting in the man's, who saved me, Mercedes.

How did I get in this situation? I thought glancing over at the man. I looked back before he saw me staring. A wall formed in my head when I tried to think of how I got here. What did I block out? I wondered.

"Where are we going?"I said I was done with being quiet.

"You will see soon enough."He answered curtly.

"Why won't you tell me? It can't be a secr..."

"Not now "He growled. I shut up and glared out the window. He sighed."I'm sorry. We are almost ...How did you end up in the snow?"

"I don't remember."I whispered

"Try."He said gently.

I closed my eyes and focused. Suddenly the wall started to crumble."I was walking home with my brother Mat and..."I frowned. Then the wall broke down completely and I began to sob, though no tears came. This made me sob harder. I felt an arm wrap around me and knowing it was the man made me sob harder."These...These monsters..."I know longer could speak as grief crushed down on me.

The car pulled over and I began to sob in his shoulder for a few more minute. Why is this stranger so nice to me? I questioned myself.

When I was calm enough I lifted my face up to the man."I am so sorry. I'll help you and...And protect you."I stared into his eyes and warmth spread through me like fire.

"Thank you..."

"Ciro."

"Ciro."I repeated smiling shyly.

"You're welcome..."

"Kira."

"Kira."He smiled and I felt better."Well Kira we're here."

I looked around noticing a beautiful two story house."Where is here?"

He smiled."Here is where my friends the Cullen's live."
