CHAPTER 2

Hunting was like nothing new I had ever done before. It came so easy. We had gone so deep into the forest so I wouldn't be tempted to Eat a human if one came to near.

"Are you ready to go Maria?" Collin asked. I still had a fiery feeling in my throat. But I figured the only way that would go away is if I drank human blood. And I definitely did not want to that.

" Ya lets go. I want you to show me this secret place of yours!" He nodded and then took off. I followed behind him quikly. He was a very good runner. I knew we wouldn't be able to have a conversation while running so I started a conversation him in my head,

You are a very good runner

Not as good as Edward was his reply

Well I am having trouble keeping up with you

I heard him chuckle from ahead of me. He stopped all of the sudden. And I noticed we were in a meadow. It was beautiful. Today happened to be sunny and I was amazed as his skin sparkled. I looked down at my own and noticed the same thing.

" It's beautiful Collin!" I gushed.

" This is were Bella and Edward went when they wanted to be alone. But I like t because it is quite. Lets sit I am sure you have a lot of questions."

" Oh yes I do."

" Ask away dear Maria." Collin answered. He smiled and I relized I loved that smile it was perfect.

" Okay what's with this whole gift thing?"

" Well you are not the only one. Edward can read peoples thoughts and Alice can see the future. Bella is the most amazing, she is a shield she can protect us from any attack on the mind. And apparently you can have a conversation in your head only with people you direct your thoughts at. So everyone can't hear your thoughts, except Edward of course." He stopped and stared at me,

"Wow. How long have you been a vampire?"

"About half a year, I was changed right after the Volturi showed up. And in case you're wondering who they are, they are like our vampire leaders. They are the biggest vampire family, although we are catching up to them, especially if you stay. Anyway I had a pretty hard time ignoring my thirst. I considered leaving several times, but something made me stay."

"Okay so why am I not wanting to run and kill some humans right now?" I asked

" Well Bella hasn't killed one human and that surprised them. Maybe you are like her just really strong minded. Is there anything else you would like to know?"

" Ya tell me about your family and my new one." He seemed please by the words at the end.

"Well I would have to say Bella and Edward are the most pleasing to be around. They are so in love. Bella was changed a month before me. They have a child. Bella conceived when she was still human and it would have killed her if Edward had not changed her. They had fell in love with Edward as a vampire and Bella as a human. There story is quite remarkable but to long to tell. They do still have the child her name is Renesmee. They just kept her away from you just incase because she has human blood and a beating heart. But she prefers to drink blood."

"Is that normal?" I questioned.

"Umm no actually she is one of only two of her kind. Oh and she has a lover." He chuckled. "A were wolf named Jacob. And yes were wolves are are real and Bella, for some reason, enjoys their company. He has never done anything to hurt us nor has his pack." I was struggling with all of this. So I decide to stop with my own questioning and let him ask me some. " Is there something else Maria?"

"Well yes a little more, actually a lot more but it is only fair for you to ask me some questions."

"Ok are you going to miss anything from your previos life?"

" Well I can't say I would actually. I was an foster child in a home were I was beaten and rarely fed. So I wasn't that worried. The only time I had fun was when I could go over to my friend Alison's house and hang out with her. But other than that I was not that worried to die. I know that sounds bad but it's true."

" It does not sound bad. I actually asked to be changed. I was at the hospital and I accidently over heard conversation between Alice and Jasper. And they mentioned hunting animals instead of humans. And then said something about changing Bella. I wasn't sure what they were talking about but I wanted it. My younger six year old sister had just died some drunk guy drove by and shot her. I was so upset. I went to Carlisle and told him either change me or I would kill myself. I have to admit it was very painful but not as bad as the loss of my sister. And I figured I would be just as lonely as a vampire as I was here but I met you and I hope we will be friends." His solem face turned into a bright smile.

' We will definatley be friends."

"Good we should probably go they are probably thinking you murdered a whole city." We got up and before we stated running he said, "Hey think something at me while we are running"

With that he was gone. I took off after him and focused my thoughts towards him.

Ummm chickens

Thank you

For what?

For everything for changing and for giving me some one. I just have a feeling about you Maria I just wanted to think you.

Your very welcome and I feel the same way

There is much much more I will have to tell you would you like to meet in my room tonight and I will excplain all your other questions you might have. I mean we don't sleep.

I would love to and with that I cut off and ran in silence a few paces behind him on my way to really get to know my new family.
