The new girl had seen us. She froze and dropped her tray when I met her gaze. I tried to read her mind, but I couldn't even get one sound. She was obviously terrified and we were the cause. I wonder what had happened to her for her to react this way. Most humans avoided us, but didn't make a scene. She took one look at us and broke down. My family and I escaped as she was being pulled out of her distant world by Jessica Stanley.

Everyone looked at me and Alice and asked, "what was that about?"

"I couldn't get a read on her. It's like she's blocking me or something." I replied.

Alice tried to concentrate on seeing the girl's future. I watched along with her as images appeared in her head.

"We need to talk to Carlisle." She finally said.

Everyone nodded and went about on their regular schedule.

I wondered what could be wrong with me that I couldn't "hear" her "voice" in my head. Maybe there was something wrong with her. I sat down at my lab table and other students started to fill up the room. The minute I smelled her scent and heard her heart increase in pace, my animalistic side went crazy. She had the most fragrant blood I've ever smelled. I tried to keep myself under control. All my muscles were tensed, ready to attack at a moment's notice. She had to sit by me. There were no other seats available. She was going to die.

I was saved when she suggested to Mr. Banner that she had to sit up front due to her poor eyesight. He agreed and I let out the breath I was holding. Mike Newton came to sit by me, happy that he received a smile from the girl. I never took my eyes off her and I internally thanked her for not making me endure her scent up close. This girl definitely know something's up. I wonder…

I had tried every to alleviate my nightmares. I had dozens of dream catchers above my bed, I made wishes to the stars to put an end to my nightmare, I even prayed to God that I have a peaceful rest free from dreams. None of that worked. The only way I could sleep dreamless was if I was knocked out. I had an endless supply of sleep-inducing medication. I took two pills and went to bed, hoping that I could escape the clutches of those red eyes.

"Carlisle, the new girl at school had the strangest reaction when she saw us." Jasper recalled.

"Yes, Isabella Swan. I've looked her up. She has some trouble sleeping ever since the traumatic death of her mother. What's unusual is the amount of medication that she has prescribed. It's enough to knock out an elephant for a year!" Carlisle stated.

"Why would she need so much meds?" Emmett asked.

"Aren't vampires the only ones that have trouble sleeping?" Rosalie questioned.

"I don't know. Perhaps, someone should talk to her. Get close to her and gain her trust. She might be open if we're friendly. From the way she reacted when she saw us, it appears that she's had some sort of interaction with our kind. A bad experience to trigger such fright from just the sight of us." Carlisle thought aloud.

"I'll try to talk with her tomorrow. I have a class with her. She actually saved herself today. It was quite ingenious." I shared.
