Angels and Demons

Chapter 2 Confrontations

EPOV

The ride home from the familiar Forks High School was growing increasingly annoying as Alice prattled away in the back seat about how much has stayed the same, how much has changed, how glad she is to be back, blah, blah, blah. I looked down to the pale hand in mine and over to the beautiful golden eyes in the passenger seat, that stared back at me with as much love and devotion as I had.

Bella and I were going to be together forever, and I would never live a day where I was not grateful for that. We had spent the day mostly reminiscing of the place we first met, the first time we – she – had lunch together, and all the things that brought us together. I had to be constantly mentally reminded by Alice to keep a watchful mind on the other students, but being so distracted by the most beautiful creature sitting next to me, it was hard. Teenagers haven't changed much in the last hundred years though, and I picked up no suspicious thoughts. Everything seemed relatively normal.

Pulling in to the expansive garage, we were greeted by Esme, eagerly asking questions on how our first day went.

"It's not like it really was our first day, Mom." said Emmett, eagerly heading into the house to play his newest video games. Esme just rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"Everything went well then, dear?" she asked me, really wanting to know if we were in any danger.

"Of course, same as usual."

"Poor Edward was a little distracted though, couldn't keep his thoughts off of Bella, judging by his emotions." Jasper teased. I just rolled my eyes and ignored him. None of them could possibly blame me, or Bella for that matter, for getting nostalgic.

We all went off and did our things, some hunting, others reading, playing games, or just relaxing. We all had fit in to our normal routines easily once again. Bella, Alice, Jazz, and I were sitting in the living room watching a movie when Alice suddenly went still.

In my mind, or Alice's rather, I saw flashes of a book, a torn old book, and a girl from the school, her eyes a bright blue, deep with knowledge of some sort. She didn't look worried or scared, it was just a flash of her reading this impossibly old book, then looking up, as if she was there looking directly at us.

"Alice? What is it? What did you see?" Jasper questioned.

Alice and I just looked at each other. Do you think she knows something Edward?

I shook my head. She couldn't possibly. This human girl would have no way of knowing. She clearly wasn't Quileute, and the wolves weren't around anymore anyhow. I looked at Bella, remembering the days she had discovered our secret. She held that same knowing look, fearless, but curious.

Alice quickly explained the vision to the others, as I sifted through my memory or the teenage thoughts from today. I remember seeing the girl at lunch, but heard nothing suspicious, that I knew of. I actually didn't remember hearing anything at all really. I had only glazed through everyone's thoughts though; it's possible I just missed it. I was distracted by Bella, to be honest.

"I'll double check her thoughts tomorrow, I heard nothing unusual today," I covered, not willing to admit that I had heard nothing at all. There is no way that there is another teenage girl on this planet that I can not read the thoughts of. A gentle squeeze on my hand brought me back to reality, and to the beautiful woman beside me. I smiled and assured her everything was alright, and we got up to go hunt, and lose ourselves in memories past.

I spent all morning in the library trying to build up the nerves to confront them. Though I wasn't scared, per say, I was nervous. I didn't really know what to say or how to act in this situation. How could I confront them? They needed to know that I knew. Edward would figure out eventually that he couldn't read my mind, unless… I let him.

I grabbed my bag and made my way into the cafeteria, grabbing a tray and filling it food, not really paying attention to what I was doing. I used my powers to expand my hearing in order to listen in on their conversation, trying to figure out the best timing to do this. Carrying my tray over to my usually empty seat, I had to hide my shock as I discovered the topic of their conversation- me.

"She doesn't look dangerous, just shy, a loner…"

"Did you guys smell her? That's not normal for a human…"

"I just can't hear her, something's not right. I wonder if she knows now…"

It was time for me to cut in. I had never done this before but the book said it was possible. Just follow my intuition, and direct my power very precisely. I had to clear my head of all but what I wanted them to hear, and very carefully, think: "I do know, I know it all. I can explain but it's a long story." I felt then a slight disconnection, and knew that was it. Risking a glance up to see if it worked, I looked into the eyes of six very confused, cautious, and shocked vampires.

Leaving my untouched food at the table, I got up and walked over to them.

"Hi." I said, simply. Well, they must think I'm brilliant. Hi? That's the best I can do? "Um, I'm sorry but maybe we should talk somewhere else. Follow me." I started walking out of the cafeteria, and glanced back, they were following me. Good. I hope.

We had been waiting for this girl all morning. None of us had morning classes with her, so we patiently waited to catch her at lunch. I was very careful to look out for her thoughts this time.

A few minutes into the lunch period, she walked in, past our table and got into the lunch line. She seems anxious. Jasper thought to me. I took a moment to observe her, to get a feel of her thoughts. She was tall, long dirty blond locks of curly hair, and stood tall, confident, but eyes focused on her tray, as if she was concentrating really hard. But what amazed me the most about this shy looking, young human was that I really couldn't hear her. And I had no clue as to why. Speaking so only the six of us could hear, we discussed our next move.

"She doesn't look dangerous, just shy, a loner…" Bella, so compassionate for someone that possibly reminded her of her human days.

"Did you guys smell her? That's not normal for a human…" Emmett was shocked, but his thoughts gave him away as excited for some action that we hadn't really had since Bella had been changed. We all agreed with him. The girl didn't smell bad, she smelt very good actually. But that's what was weird. She was just a nice perfumed scent that walked by, as if she had no blood to lust after at all.

"I just can't hear her, something's not right." I admitted. "I wonder if she knows now…"

Something suddenly cut into my thoughts. It was unlike my usual "hearing." Not like thoughts, it was as if she was literally speaking inside of my head and I knew it was her, though I'd never heard her voice.

"I do know, I know it all. I can explain but it's a long story."

I could tell from my family's thoughts that they heard it too. It was one collective "what… the…f…" coming from the table. The girl's eyes met ours as she go up and approached the table.

"Hi," It seemed the girl was trying to think of what to say next, although I couldn't be sure. That was annoying. "Um, I'm sorry but maybe we should talk somewhere else. Follow me."

As she turned to walk away, Alice instructed me mentally "It's fine, just follow her."

I quickly nodded and got up, the others following in our path. I pushed my mental talents harder, trying to pick up on her thoughts, but this strange girl gave nothing away.

We were led into the empty library, past the kind old librarian who just smiled and waved. Past the fiction shelves and deep into the corner of the reference section she stopped at a table and turned toward us.

"My name's Natalie," she began, but was cut off by a now suddenly enthusiastic Alice.

"Hi Natalie, I'm Alice Cullen. It's very nice to meet you!" Relax Edward, you'll love this! Alice reassured me mentally, while blocking a vision she had. Alice clearly saw good coming from this and her positive outlook relaxed us all slightly. Well, that was Jasper but he got those vibes from her.

"Thanks," Natalie began again. "It's nice to meet you to, but I already know your Alice. Ummm, you probably didn't know this about me but you knew my family. You probably didn't even know this existed, but I know about you guys, and your kind, and the wolves, who aren't here anymore, and I can explain why I know this. But I want to say that I'm not going to hurt you or out your existence, believe me secrets are just important to myself as they are to you…" she rambled.

"What is it?" Jasper questioned, defensive, despite Alice's eager and excited demeanor.

"My name is Natalie Weber; my great-great grandmother was Angela Weber. And I'm a witch."
