Thank you again for reading this. Enjoy chapter three and hopefully I'll get some more posted soon!
DISCLAIMER I do not own any of the recognizable characters in this story. They belong to Stephenie Meyer. Kata belongs to me. Thank you.
"Yes you are," Carlisle replied. Kata's eyes turned from excited to rage.
"Why?" she demanded.
"Because I thought you would like to be apart of a family," he answered, his voice cool and collected. Kata's hands turned to tight fists.
"I never wanted a family. My own family didn't want a family! I just wanted to die and never see a single face ever again!" she shouted angrily. Alice prepared herself in front of Carlisle as Kata lunged at him. She held Kata back as she fought to get her hands on Carlisle.
"Kata! Calm down! Carlisle was just trying to help!" Alive shouted back. Kata stopped and turned toward Alice.
"What if I didn't want his help? Did he ever think of that? What if I wanted to die?" she snapped back.
"He obviously saw something in you that made him turn you. You said yourself that you were drawn to our family. But now you don't want to be apart of it? You said you were fascinated by vampire, and now you are one. So why are you so ungrateful?" she asked coldly. Kata had finally calmed down and relaxed again. Alice let go of her. She was ashamed of her behavior.
Looking down at her feet, Kata sighed. "You're right, Alice, my actions have been wrong, I'm sorry Dr. Cullen," she said quietly, looking sheepishly up at Carlisle.
Carlisle, who had been completely still and calm during Kata's outburst, smiled. "Carlisle, please, if you will. Apology accepted Kata. Your actions are expected for someone who has recently been turned. Especially since the transformation had sped up for you," he explained. Kata stared at him with some wonder.
"How long does it usually last?" she asked.
"Three days."
"And how long did it take for me?"
"About a day." Kata's expression changed from wonder and confusion to surprise.
"Why?" she asked.
"I don't know," Carlisle answered. Kata could tell he spoke the truth and so didn't push further on the matter. An awkward silence fell over the room. The only thing making noise was the rain and the nurses chattering in the hall.
"Well, Alice will take you home when you're ready. I better get back to the rest of the patients here. I'll see you girls later then," Carlisle said, breaking the silence and standing up.
"Um, ok," Kata relied in bewilderment,
"See you later," Alice said coolly. As soon as Carlisle was gone, Kata turned toward Alice.
"I'm ready when you are. The hospital just brings back some bad memories," she said quietly. Alice nodded.
"Then, let's get out of here," she said, smiling reassuringly. Kata nodded and opened the door for her. Alice didn't say anything as she left the room with Kata close behind her.
They left the hospital in silence, each lost in her own thoughts. When they reached the parking lot, Kata stopped short. Her rusty old 1962 Volkswagen Beetle was sitting in front of her, looking very pathetic and lonely between the shinier, newer, and rust-free vehicles around it. She turned toward Alice.
"How did you get my car here?" she asked, very surprised. Alice smiled.
"I drove it here, how do you think?" she laughed, "I thought you would feel more comfortable in your own car ," she explained. Kata still had a puzzled look on her face, which made Alice laugh again. "Carlisle sent me to get it, actually. To tell you the truth, it was pretty hard finding your house. But then I remembered that you were at school when you were found. You know, you really shouldn't leave things unlocked like that, things could get stolen," she joked. Kata could tell Alice was lying about Carlisle.
"Carlisle didn't ask you to get my car," she told her flatly. "And I don't have anything worth stealing," she added.
Another smile crept across Alice's face. "Very good. I had a feeling you would pick up on that."
"On what?" Kata asked, puzzled once again.
"My lie. You picked up on every single one Carlisle and I threw at you back there. You're just like me in a way," Alice said happily.
"What do you mean?"
"I can see the future. You can tell the truth from a false statement. I'll explain later when we get home," Alice said. "But we better get home. You need to get away from all these people before something happens."
"Home. I'm guessing you don't mean my house do you?" Alice shook her head.
"No, you're new home. Our home."
This is all I've got for now. Don't hurt me! I'm working on more as I type this! Please give me some feed back on what you think of this!
