Hi there! Like I said a special thanks to Vampirefairy13 for being the ONLY ONE who reviewed this story. This is sort of a filler chapter where I can get the fact of the murders out there so Sarah and the readers know what it's like to be at the Cullen house when they need to find something out.
"Is Edward here?" I asked smiling and tossing my hair over my shoulder, trying to seem more human.
"Um, yes. Come right in. How are you related to Edward?"
Shoot. I mentally smacked myself. "I'm his cousin. I'm from…Maine. Esme wants him home." I smiled and reminded myself to blink and I fidgeted a little.
"Edward! You're cousin is here." The man called.
I heard Edward make a show of clambering down the stairs and stretching. "Thank you, Charlie."
Charlie grunted and Edward opened the door.
When we got outside Edward turned to me. "Are you insane?"
"Excuse me?" I asked angrily.
"You could've just came in through the window."
"Sorry, I'm not a stalker and am not skilled in the art of window climbing." I snapped.
"Never mind just get into my car." He said holding the door open for me.
I hated it when he did that. I was perfectly capable of opening a door. I knew he was trying to be nice but I didn't want nice. I wanted normal. A thought came crashing down hard on my mind. I'd never be normal ever. Things would never be the normal I used to know.
I sat in the car and put my hands on the dash. I didn't do it on purpose, it just happened. The nausea overwhelmed me as the needle on the speedometer sped over ninety. I couldn't look outside at the passing greenery or I would get sick. Edward drives so fast. I wish he would watch the road and not me.
I yanked back with a sound of disgust as the nausea immediately went away.
"That's what you get for snooping around." Edward said calmly. I could tell he wasn't being mean he just was stating a fact.
"I didn't do it on purpose and Bella thinks you drive too fast."
"Okay, enough beating around the bush. Why did you need to get me from Bella's house?"
"I don't know. They wouldn't tell me. They said I had to get you before they said anything."
Edward's face was full of concentration as we sped up the driveway. I knew he was listening to the others' thoughts.
I put my hand on his arm.
What could it mean? He had asked. It must've been just seconds ago; otherwise I wouldn't have known what he'd thought.
He pulled the car to a stop and together, we ran into the house.
"Speak." I said curtly as I sat down.
"Well Sarah, somebody has been killing people like crazy in the Seattle area." Carlisle said.
"Jasper implied it was you earlier." Emmett said glaring at his brother.
"Why would I do that? My eyes would be red. Not gold. C'mon Jasper, think clearly and use your brain." I said looking at him. "I'm not mad at you. I swear."
"Well, if it isn't you we should still find out who it is." Jasper said. "The Volturi will suspect us first, because they know that we're in the area. And well…Bella's still human."
Edward was holding a pillow in his hands and he kept staring at it. Like it was supposed to give him answers.
"Why don't you change her?" I offered.
He hissed at me and threw the pillow at my head.
I snagged it out of the air. The Volturi make the rules in our world. No human can know about us because it is against the law. We had a choice, to change Bella or have her killed. Carlisle said he would change her; I just want her to have all of the human experiences she possibly can. She wants changed right after graduation.
"Edward!" Esme scolded. "Don't hiss at her like that. She just asked a question. She's still a little clueless."
"Thanks mom." I muttered. "So, we find the killer and ask them to stop?"
Jasper let out a creepy chuckle. "It won't be that easy. Who ever it is will have a thirst for human blood. They won't want to stop killing and feeding."
"So, we go and take them down."
"When?" Emmett asked.
"It'd be best for Alice to watch the Volturi closely and wait until she sees when they will come here. Until then we'll stake out and watch."
