Chapter 2

"My story?" I said. I really didn't want them to be implied in my life… it was full of dangers.

"Sure, it's not common to find a dying girl bitten by a vampire" Alice explained.

That reminds me… "I was supposed to die, why I am walking as an immortal?"

"Well, you were near to dead, practically empty, it seems that we scared the vampire that was sucking your blood…so it left you laying on the floor,I guess that, as you were practically dead, it didn't matter" Alice explained.

"It was a he…I saw him" I commented "Hum, I remember now that he said something about the way I smelled, like a flower, I didn't put attention. I was just wondering if the tree by my side would be good enough to hide…" several eyes stared at me in disbelief.

"Hide from a vampire? Are you kidding me?!" Emmet laughed "You can´t!"

"Yes I know that, but actually I'm…kind of different, that's why I know other vampires" I explained

"Because you can't hide from them?" he continued.

"Of course not, you idiot!" I was starting to get pissed. "Two years ago, I was wondering in the forest, when I encountered with three vampires, well the fact is that I am able to mimick with my surroundings, so I disappeared from their view. That was when one of the vampires said, - you would always have a fraction of second more of life that any other human that encounters a vampire- "

"Why?"Edward asked

"Because I can be sort of invisible, I can mimic my surroundings, but it's quite difficult to trick vampire senses"

"So it only works a fraction of second, pretty much for a human against a vampire" Edward realized.

"Yep, that's why she said that, and that's why I'm alive, she didn't killed me because she felt curious about how a human could mimick so well, actually I learned vampire movements while I was human, that helped me to remain alive…just enough for someone to help me…" suddenly I was lost in my memories.

"So where did you meet this vampires?" Carlisle asked

"Hum… Brazil, that's where I come from, although I was born in England. My parents are biologists, they moved to Brazil to study the fauna of the rain forest in the Amazon, I was small when they moved, so I've lived there my entire life" –And so, the story begins- I thought.

"So… why is a little fifteen year old girl in Forks' forest?" Edward asked

"Such an interesting question and with no answer…" –it's a dangerous story-

I raised my face and I saw Edward frowning, which reminded me to control my thoughts.

"Let's do this, you make questions and I'll try to answer them" I finally said, that way it would be easier to control my thoughts.

"Why are you here? In Forks, I mean" Edward asked.

"Hum…I came here to study; well not here, to Forks…I am supposed to be in Seattle. I arrived to the airport in Washington, so I went to get familiar with the surroundings" -That sounds reasonable- I thought

There was a long silence.

"Oh…and what are you going to do now? You can't arrive like this to school" Esme pointed out.

"Hum…right, guess I'll wait till I can pass as a human…or… actually I don't have the least idea of what to do, I'm hopeless" I sighed.

I turned to face Alice; maybe she saw something useful, or something that could betray me.

"Nope, nothing at all, you're not sure of what you want" she said.

"mmm" I mumbled

"You can stay here the time you need, if you want to, of course" Esme offered with a smile.

"…I don't know" I don't know if I'll be able to hide my story to keep you from danger- I thought

Edward frowned again.

-Of all the places that I could have been bitten, and with all the vampires that could have found me, I met with the one that read minds…-

"Think I'll need time to answer" I said.

-Don't meet his eyes; don't meet his eyes… maybe just a little glance…-

I lifted my head… two golden eyes were locked on me.

-AAAAAH! Why the hell I did that?!-

I sighed.

-what can I do now?…I gotta go…I can't stay…but where could I go?...I can be a nomad…but that doesn't sound likely because, I don't like to be alone…maybe I could go to Seattle it's a big city…but what about the thirst?...hum…no one would notice if only one person out of a million dies…but I'm not a monster! What if I killed a future friend? Or someone beloved? Or a mother? Or the president?! No…I'm not stupid enough to kill the president…hum…I can kill bums, and murderers, that wouldn't be bad…

My thoughts continued on and on…and once again I forgot that the vampire in front of me could read my mind.

"We'll wait for your answer, whichever it is" Esme said, she got up, followed by Carlisle.

I stayed on the sofa, thinking… one by one all got up and went to different parts of the house. A minute later, I was alone with Edward.

"So… do you want to take a walk with me?" He asked, obviously he wanted to make questions, and his face said that he wouldn't let me go without answers.

I smiled.

"Just remember that I can outrun you" I got up and walked through the door.

He smiled, and followed me. We ran in silence for a while.

"Where are we going?" I asked

"You'll see, don't worry, is not far away, be patient" he answered.

I didn't talk again. We began to go into the forest more and more. We were surrounded by all kind of bugs, and trees. Suddenly in a distant point I saw a dim light. Soon we arrived to a peaceful meadow, I contemplated it with joy. It was beautiful, full of flowers with all kind of fragrances and colors, I could taste the sweet smell of violets, daisys and wildflowers.

The sun was bright, so when I stood in the middle of it, a thousand rainbows appeared through all the meadow, dancing with the wind, as I moved.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Edward commented as he stared at me.

"Yes it is"

He continued to look at me. A moment passed and he said.

"I read your mind"

I sighed.

"Yes I know that…secret keeper" I mumbled

"Would you explain me the real story?"

"No, because that will…"I didn't finish.

"Be dangerous, but why?" he asked confused.

"Really if you want your family to be safe don't ask, is better if you don't know" I explained.

"You won't stay, right?"

"I don't know, if you don't know my real me, it won't be a real problem, but still it is dangerous. I'm dangerous." I said.

"I think it's better to know what the danger is" he insisted trying to convince me to talk.

I stared at him, just as he stared back.

"Not in this case"

"Ignorance is not always safer than knowledge"

"Yes you are right, but once again, it is not the case, believe me, I don't mean any harm to your family, they are good persons"

"Well, just tell me, so I can help you stay and protect my family at the same time"

I thought about it. I still think is dangerous to know.

"If you stay, it's better for all of us if you explain to me, because whichever way, I can read your mind, and I'll know the truth sooner or later"

I grimaced. He was right, again.

"Ok I'll only tell you the problem, not the cause. Just have in mind that once you know, you will be in danger, got it?"

He nodded.

I took a deep breath.

"The Volturi are my problem, lets say that they don't want me alive" I stared at Edward waiting for his reactions.

He didn't move as I watched how the fear took place in his eyes and then replaced by an acceptance, which slowly filled his features.

I chuckled.

"I told you that you didn't want to know, now if something goes wrong, it will affect not only me, but you too" sadness replaced the little giggles. -I didn't want this to happen-

"I know, and I was the one that asked, I'll carry the consequences with you, I'll help you"

"The better thing to do is to forget about this, and I'll just disappear"

"No, if wanted to know was because I want you to stay and to protect my family, now that I know I can do that"

"Yes you can, but still, haven't you realized that it is a high cost, for someone you don't even know, a complete stranger?!" I nearly shouted.

"Yes, I know the Volturi better than you could imagine, and I know that if they want you dead is for some reason, and I also know that they get what they want, and that you'll survive because I won't let them do anything to you" He seemed so serious, that I remained without complaint, convinced that I finally found a companion in my personal war.

"Why?" I finally asked "Why did you get involved in such problem because of me, I still don't understand your motivation" I said.

He smiled.

"Because my family loves you. Esme and Carlisle see a new daughter in you. You are important to them, because no one, even Alice, had ever stole their heart in one a day"

"Exactly, have you realized that you have a day with me, and in what you got involved? Even if Esme and Carlisle loves me, that I really doubt it, I put you in danger because I'm not strong enough to face this alone, and I'm selfish!!! For god sake, haven't you realize that you didn't get a thing with knowing this?" I stared at him in disbelief.

My eyes were prickling, I waited for tears to come down, but I waited in vain. Vampires can't cry; all I could do was to stare at Edward with a sad look.

"You are not selfish, and you are strong enough to spit at the Volturi's face"

-That would be stupid- I thought

Edward half smiled.

"But you could do it; I've seen more in your mind than you think, you escaped death in several times, you said it, when the Brazilian vampires, let you live, with others vampires you had courage to move and to stare in that frightening eyes."

"I still can´t understand you. I wouldn't do that, protect myself." I sighed

"I know that, but we do care for others"

"You should care for the ones that deserve it."

"And why do you think you don´t?"

"Cause you don't know me… this discussion is a vicious cycle, it won't finish."

"Hahaha, you're stubborn. You already told me the problem, so you can't do anything"

"That's what you think." -If I run now he won't be able to stop me- I thought

"That's what you think, I still I'm the fastest in my family, I can follow you"

"You are the fastest, that makes me the fastest, and I'm the strongest, that will make me faster than you"

"You won't go"

"Try me"

We glared at each other with the challenged in our eyes. After what seemed years of not moving, of being beautiful statues of granite, shinning like diamonds in the sun, I laughed.

"So what's the purpose of all this, we can be like this forever, you won't convince me, and I won't convince you."

"No girl, you are wrong, you'll stay."

"Why are you so sure? I can leave whenever I want to."

He smiled.

"But you'll stay."

"Could you stop saying that?" I nearly shouted.

He smiled again.

"But it's true" A sweet, female, musical, voice said.

I turned to face the voice.
