A Twist In My Story
EDWARD'S P.O.V.
I could tell that Garnet Willowby was out of place when she made her first steps in Forks Highschool.
Her gait was one that even the most skilled dancer would envy. Garnet's steps were light and airy yet they made her seem confident. Her frame was thin and frail but she had a strong manner about her. Garnet had to reach a height of five feet ten inches, only stopping two inches before she reached my height. All of her features had a pixie-like aspects to her, even more so than Alice. She possessed a tone of pale skin that almost matched mine. Pale blonde tresses fell in long ringlets that framed her face. Striking blue eyes were planted on her face that resembled the wide hues of a frightened doe. One incident when she pushed her hair behind her ear I discovered that she a slight point to them. Though what I found the oddest was that a deep blue aura hung around her anywhere she went and that her thoughts were enveloped in a mass of waves.
The first time I spotted her an unfamiliar over took my nostrils. I had been expecting the florally placid scent that every girl in Forks. Instead I was greeted with an oceanic scent. Garnet's scent reminded me of the ocean. Then I caught sight of her. It sounds piggish to say but I enjoyed catching sight of Garnet. She cut herself a path through the mass of students eyeing her but never once gave them the satisfaction of lifting her head up.
My eyes were plastered to her as I watched her cross the parking lot and make her way towards the office. When she was about to the open the glass door she craned her head back to glance directly at me. Her stare was so intense that it caught me off guard. I turned my head down and waited until I heard the door click softly shut behind her to even make the tiniest movement of my head.
It was Alice who noticed the odd behavior. She pranced over to me and lightly touched my arm. "You only ever acted that way around..." Her words hung harshly in the air though her tone was soft.
I forced my composure to stay perfect as I rattled out a reply, "She's exactly like...Isabella." I declared. "I can't detect her thoughts. She smells so intoxicating. It's cliche to believe that this is happening again." My tone was obviously laced with frustration.
"If this helps the cause I can almost nothing of her future. Everything I get on her is fuzzy and it is highly frustrating to me." Alice brightly told me.
"Her emotions." Jasper absently said. "Disgust, amusement, awe, happiness, distaste. It's a rush." He declared.
"Who cares." Emmett burst into the conversation. "We've got other things to worry about."
"For once you are correct." I mumbled.
Our group of five slowly migrated from the parking lot towards the buildings that homed our next classes.
On my way to my first period class I decided to peek into the other students minds to see their first impressions on Garnet. From the majority of the boys perverted thoughts flowed into this mind while the girls were attempting to conjure up plans to falter her beauty. The teachers thoughts made me wish I had the will to close my minds to these thoughts.
I shook my head in disgust as I entered the English classroom. A few heads stared at the door as I entered but soon went back to whatever they had been doing. I wove my way through the lines of desks then took a seat in the desk located farthest away from the front of the class. To occupy myself until class started I began to recite the alphabet backwards in Portuguese.
A small gasp stopped me when I reached the letter D. Looking around I directed my eyes to the spot where everyone else had their's glued. Garnet stood at the front of the classroom quietly conversing with the teacher, Mr. Fletcher. All of the stares; jealous, awe struck, envious, admiring were directed towards Garnet.
Mr. Fletcher finally tore his gaze from Garnet then looked at the class. "Good morning everyone," He dully greeted us. All of us murmured a greeting back. "I would like you to all welcome Garnet Willowby to our school."
Garnet lifted a hand and gave us all a weak wave before saying, "Hello." in a foreign lilt I didn't recognize.
"You may go take a seat next to Edward." Mr. Fletcher gently told her as he pointed to the empty space beside myself.
She nodded her head in confirmation before leaving his side. It took her only a few seconds to clear the length of the room. When she reached my- I mean our desk she slid her bag off of her bony shoulder and let it hit the ground with a dull thump. Thin fingers pulled the chair out far enough so that she could easily slid into it.
"Hello," I quietly murmured.
"Hey." Her clear tone responded.
The rest of class was spent in silence.
"She frustrates me!" I cried out angrily as Alice, Jasper, and I made our way to the Volvo. We had all just finished first period and were promptly leaving school. I couldn't bare to be around Garnet Willowby any longer. Only after fifty minutes of being seated next to her and I was desperately gripping onto the little sanity I had left.
"Edward," Alice soothingly spoke my voice. "there is no reason to be acting like this. Garnet is just another girl."
"One that I felt like ripping to shreds! Why is this happening to me again!?!" I demanded through clenched teeth. "I've just have to get away."
As I entered the car I felt a wave of calmness rush through my body, it worked for a moment. Then I turned back to Jasper and glared. The sense of calmness went away and I was left with my own insanity.
Once everyone was in I took off in a rush. I was yearning to get as far away from the mysterious girl. Any distance between her and I would do, I just wanted to get away. My speed soon passed one hundred miles per hour as I raced home. It took only five short minutes to reach out mansion.
I left my bag in the car, not bothering to complete the single assignment Mr. Fletcher had assigned. Esme seemed only the tiniest bit surprised to see three of her children busting through the door. I murmured a hello before taking the stairs up to my room three at a time.
In my room I started to scavenge around, looking for something I had tucked away. I had hidden the object so well that I barely remembered where I had hidden it. Finally, I slid the De Buzzi CD I had out of a case and found the bottle cap. It was the only memory of Bella I had allowed myself to keep. While clenching it tightly in my hand I listened to everyone's thoughts.
Alice's mind was focused on all the possible reasons as to why she was having a hard time pinpointing Garnet's future. In the deep depths she was worried about me. I scowled and focused on Jasper. He was relaxed to be back in the comfort of our home but worrying about Alice. Typical. Carlisle was absolutely fascinated by what Alice had told him. Esme was worried about me. I growled. I could take care of myself.
"Edward." Carlisle's voice floated up the stairs.
"Coming." I slipped the bottle cap into my pocket, rose from my spot, and headed into the living room.
"Tell me about...Garnet." He coaxed me.
I sighed before nodding. I went for twenty minutes, talking about all the things I had noted about her. I scold myself now, realizing how obsessed I sounded about this random stranger. When I finished Carlisle nodded.
"I don't think Garnet is human." His honey tone concluded.
"What?" Four surprised tones echoed.
"From what I've gathered about this Garnet she perfectly fits the description of a legend that many have long forgotten." Carlisle explained.
"And?" I pressed.
"These legends are of magical woodland creatures that devote themselves to a single element. They are gentle creatures who mean no harm but lean towards the mischievous side. The magic they study can be deadly. It is also rumored that their blood is the purest of any creature which is why at one time they were vampire's slaves." He slowly filled me in.
"These creatures are called?" Jasper suddenly asked.
"Fey." Carlisle instantly replied.
I suppressed a laugh. "You mean like the little pixies parents read about in an attempt to get their children to fall asleep?"
"Exactly what I mean." He replied.
"You can't be serious." I retorted. "First vampires, then werewolves, and now..pixies!" I let out a cold laugh.
Was I possibly falling for a pixie?
