The New Girl

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or Edward. Dangit.

I've never been more taken by surprise than the first day I met her, the new girl.

You see, I have this special power that I can read minds. I don't have to do anything for it, and it's often very disturbing, but I just know what people think. I can hear their thoughts like little voices singing to me. I don't have to tell you that this can be very helpful at some moments. And for my family and I is it one the most important things to keep us save.

My family isn't just a normal family. We're a family of vampires. We aren't the kind of vampires you read about in books or anything. We do however live on blood. Most vampires, actually all vampires except my family lives on human blood. We have chosen to be; well I guess you could call it vegetarian. We only drink animal blood.

It doesn't make us less frightening though and if you're in your right mind you should stay away from us. Our instincts are still there and human blood is tastier to us. But because we've chosen for this special diet, are we able to live in harmony with the humans. We have to be very careful not to blow our cover though.

That's where my thought-reading is of importance. When I notice that people get suspicious about us, I can warn my family and we can lay low for a bit. My family exists out of 7 vampires. That's me off course, my parents Carlisle and Esme and my siblings Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Rosalie. We're not blood related or anything we just are a family because we came together to live in the same way.

We do love each other as if we were relatives though. Don't think vampires can't love, because our love is eternal. And once you betray a vampire we love, we won't rest until revenge is taken.

The day I met the new girl I was taken aback. I thought that I had gotten sick. I can't recall a vampire ever being sick but it sure felt like that for me. I was panicked; I couldn't hear what she was thinking.

Normally I shut the thoughts of silly humans out. Well at least I try to ignore them. Their thoughts are just too random and to plain.

But that girl I couldn't hear a thing from. I got fascinated but scared with it as well. What if this girl wasn't just a girl and what if she was a vampire slayer. I didn't honestly think that they existed but I knew I had to check with Carlisle. Because if vampire slayers existed and if that girl was one, we'd never find out. I couldn't defend my family if I couldn't read her mind. For more than over an hour I tried. But nothing seemed to work, I just couldn't get in her head.

Off course my sister Alice had a special gift as well. She had visions of the future. The only problem with her visions was that they weren't always reliable. If the girl knew about her gift than she could make sure Alice got a wrong vision, or even none until the very last moment.

I had to figure this one out. I would get to know this girl and make sure my family was safe.
