3. Questions
I heard every person in the room gasp, including Arco. What was wrong? I wanted to ask but I didn't dare, in case it burned. Arco was the first to find his voice.
"It's ok to talk now. May." He said my name with a single breath as if it was his favourite word. Once again I trusted him.
"Well that hurt" I chimed; I listened to my voice in amazement, not paying attention to the titters and chuckles. My voice had sounded like a perfectly in tune bell. I took in a breath, but my lungs seemed like they didn't need it, it was like I didn't need to breathe any more.
"What's wrong with me?" I asked everyone worriedly.
Arco and Carlisle beckoned for me to follow. We sat down on a comfortable couch.
"May," began Carlisle. "I have done this many times now but I can never work out how to start. Basically May, you are immortal, May you are a vampire"
I didn't breathe. I wasn't shocked or scared. I just exhaled quietly.
"Just explain it to me please." I murmured. Carlisle and Arco looked at each other in surprise.
"Whatever you like May." Said Arco evenly.
"May," Continued Carlisle. "I am a Vampire, Arco also, Bella too, everyone in this room is a vampire."
After Carlisle explained what I was, he gave me a moment to take it all in. I looked at the ceiling I could see every particle of dust that lived there. Then I turned to look at Arco. Suddenly a loud snarl ripped from his throat which shocked me to the core.
"Back off Alice she needs to hunt" he hissed.
"Ok, ok" tinkled Alice "I just thought she might have wanted a look." I glanced up at the mirror which Alice was holding. Carlisle had already told me my eyes should be red, but because I was vegetarian in human form I already had amber eyes, and I was already in control of my newborn temper and my longing for human blood. I now looked at the stranger in the mirror properly. She certainly was a beautiful creature, but that can't be right, she couldn't be me, she was so pale she was ice, her smile was too perfect. But she was me and I was happy. Suddenly Arco's supposedly cool hand (only at humans touch) held mine.
"Come on May" he said gently "Lets go on our first hunt!"
