T: Well, I guess it's that time! OK, so here goes!
Keke: We can't just put them in the story out of the blue like that, it isn't fair!
T: Fine. Okay, this story is about Bree. Not so short second life now!
Bree: I die? I thought vampires lived forever!
Keke: Nope. You can get killed by another vampire, but that's pretty much it.
"We'll let her live," Jane said. Jane was a small, beautiful, young girl, er, vampire, who couldn't be older than twelve. Maybe thirteen, or fourteen, tops.
"But we expect to see a vampire in the place of the girl, next time we decide to visit," She finished. She motioned to the girl named Bella. She smelled so delicious.
"I want HER!" I said. I pointed to her hungrily. The bronze haired boy protectively stepped in front of her.
Eventually, after what seemed like horrifying ages, I thought over everything that happened. Then, with Jane having a quick exchange with Felix, Jane gave off a small, challenging smile, meant to irritate the leader of this strange coven, who kept a human as a pet. I sensed an evil undertone to the gesture, and the trees swayed in the wind, almost in agreement as the leader, Carlisle, returned the smile. But at the moment, I didn't really care. I just was so HUNGRY. I wanted to eat. I wanted the girl. I fought back the urge. Carlisle waved at the Volturi as they left.
"We'll leave you to deal with that." Jane said. Just like that, they were gone. I sat there, staring at the spot where they were. The mere grass they were standing on seemed to radiate power. I thought about Diego. I missed him. Needed him. And almost for a split second, I could see his pale body in the woods. It gave me comfort. I stood up, and spoke, newfound determination inside of me thanks to the mirage I received.
"Sir, I couldn't help but wonder. When do you think I'll be able to eat? Am I your prisoner? Please don't hurt me." I decided to try and play up innocence for a while. But the small girl, and the bronze haired boy saw through me right away.
"Don't try anything funny, girl," He said. The smallish girl merely gave me a strange, but understanding look.
"Be nice to her. A lot just happened, right Bella?" The human nodded. The beautiful blonde girl, next to the huge man, with dark hair, who I'm assuming was her mate, glared at me.
"We need to be careful around it." I winced, and looked at the floor. Then, the large dogs turned into men. Very handsome men, at that. I was SO glad I couldn't blush. But they glared at me as they took one of them away. And for this I was glad, I wasn't sure how much longer I could deal with the stares.
Carlisle snapped me out of my thoughts as he spoke. " Bree I'm very sorry but I will have to leave to help the wolves, or shifters, with Jacob but I will be returning soon. For now Esme, my wife will show you to our house, where you will be staying. And I'm sure once everything is set someone would be more than happy to go hunting with you." He said with a warm smile. I returned the smile, as I quickly learned that it's kinda hard to be rude to Carlisle in any way.
"Thanks," I say with a smile. As quickly as it came, my determination left. I suddenly felt scared and guilty. Scared because I was going to live with a bunch of strangers, and as little as I knew about the vampire world I knew that they were strange in more ways than one. Guilty because they were just that- strangers, yet kind enough to invite me into their home and here I was acting like some two year-old brat, who could care less about their offer when really, I knew they were my only option. Well, them or death. And death just wasn't an option. Point. Blank. Again Carlisle snapped me out of my thoughts by speaking, Not that I minded.
"No problem at all." And with that he was gone. I turned to the others. They all were staring at me as if I was a wild animal, waiting for my next move. I just stared right back at them, not sure of what else they really wanted me to do.
"Follow us honey, well show you were you will be staying." Said Esme, the wife of Carlisle, whom I'm assuming was their leader.
Well, this is it- I'm going to the Cullen household, my new home. They seem nice enough… so why do I feel as if I am throwing myself to the sharks? Just as I thought this the bronze haired boy looked at me and rolled his eyes and chuckling while doing so. Creepy. He acts as if he can read my freaking mind for crying out loud! I thought bitterly. In return he just gave me a crooked smile, While pulling the human onto his back. I gave him my poker face before I continued to jog to the woods where we would start to run. We relax at home, and we make arrangements for hunting. Yum. But then, I realize we don't eta humans. We eat animals. Deer. Mountain Lion. I think about all of this until I snap out of this.
"Bree! Bree!" I heard my name being called by a sweet musical voice. I looked up to see Alice looking at me with a somewhat annoyed expression. I was just having a flashback of how I got here, with the Cullens that is. Its been two weeks since I've been here. Things are going better than expected. I found out that the bronze haired boy, Edward, actually IS a mind reader. I also learned that Alice can see the future. These past two weeks have been ok. I have become closer to these people than I thought I would. With Alice being one of the main ones, and Bella also; she is a great friend once she gets passed her shyness.
"Yes, Alice dear?" her annoyed look soon turned into a glare.
"Did you even hear anything I just said?" she asked me angrily.
"Uh, no. Not really." I admitted sheepishly. She sighed, clearly frustrated with me.
"I was saying that Bella wants to take you to meet some friends of hers in a couple hours but first Emmet wants to get in some practice with you." Me and Emmet, well mostly all of the Cullens really, have been "practicing" with me as with me trying to find out if I have any type of special abilities. So far, Nothing.
"Ok thanks for telling me," I say with a smile
"No problem," she says with a smile coming back to her face while skipping away. I take a deep sigh going back into my thinking about how my life is here with the Cullens.
"Bree, come on I'm waiting!" Emmet calls from the back door, becoming impatient as always.
"Calm down Em I'm coming." I say chuckling to myself as I make my way to the back door for another day of practicing which I think is useless because honestly, I don't really think I have a power. And believe it or not I'm okay with that. I step out into the light, prepared for another rigorous training.
