Chapter 2

I was still in the water as the sun began to slowly rise. For the last part of the night, I had been fine tuning the memories

and found some new facts about these Cullens.

They were a well refined family, and old family. And they were the same as me. It was surprising how much I knew about

them. Their names, their pasts, I even knew what they ate. Animals.

Is that what I needed to dull the aching pain in my throat? Yes.

The sun continued to rise while I was still thinking, but what happened to my skin was just the distraction that I needed.

The most peculiar oddity occurred.

I was sparkling, glowing in a way. The half of my body in the shade was doing nothing. Was the sun doing this to me? I

believe so, I walked so that all of my new, white body was in the sun and I was glittering. It felt so warm that I never

wanted to leave it. But in order to find my new love and family, I had to.

I sprung out of the water and into the forest which I was now aware, was full of life. Life that I needed to sustain my

burning throat.

I swiftly began to run through the trees, once more, to find a source of fulfillment. Not long after I started, I came upon a

small squirrel which was high up in a tree, but not too high for me.

"Gotcha!" I gasped and then drained to small rodent.

The relief was instantaneous. The warm trickle of the new blood in my system was too much for me t handle. I needed

more. I was running again and picking up little creatures of the forest as I went. This was easy, and rewarding. I had seen

visions of my new family and I, hunting like this. They made it as much of a sport as it was a necessity.

By mid-day, I was fully sustained and a little bloated. I wanted more than anything to continue on the journey to my future,

but I knew that I had to wait. I had a feeling that my new 'shine' wouldn't be acceptable in full view of humans.

I decided to stay put until the sun set.

What could I do until then? I was already satiated, so hunting wasn't an option. I also couldn't continue through the woods

because my way was blocked by houses on either side, and a road in between.

"Hmm…maybe if…" I thought out loud.

Maybe I could take a risk and sprint across the street and into the woods on the other side. I decided to use my new skill

to see if I would prevail. The answer was yes. Yes I would.

Quickly, and more quiet than a church mouse, I flitted through a neighboring yard and across the street. I didn't look back

until I was well into the forest and on to my future.
