"It was an accident Edward. She didn't fall on me on purpose." I growled.
"Whatever. Her mind tells me differently." He said back.
"Uhg! You and your stupid mind reading Edward! I hate it!" I shouted. We sat in the living room while we waited for Dad to get back. I sipped at my favorite herbal tea while Synthia sipped at some coffee. Bleh….coffee. Edward stared at me. If you're wondering why I call him Edward even though he is my grandfather, it's a short story actually.
As I grew older from being a half vampire, half werewolf, I stopped drinking blood. Edward got mad and tried to force me to go hunting. When I scarred the prey away instead of killing it, he blew up at me. He said that I would become weak and die. He also told me the urge to kill would consume me eventually. I think he was right….or at least now that is.
"So Synthia, how are you doing?" Bella tried to start a conversation.
"Well…father is worrying a bit do the fact that the re-election is coming up soon. That's why I wanted to get away and come up here." She said with a sigh. Edward rolled his eyes. I glared at him. My dad walked in, finishing buttoning his shirt, his long hair all over the place.
"I think I'm fine now." He said, fixing his hair. I rolled my eyes and leaned back into the couch. I tried to twitch my tail but a sharp pain ran through my body. I bit my lower lip as the pain subsided. Mother frowned as I cringed.
"So what exactly happened?" she asked me.
"The ears and tail? No idea. I just left the classroom because I was watching a rabbit outside and started to phase during class. Then as I went to go to the bathroom, I had an urge to eat the rabbit. And that's exactly what I did." I blushed at the thought.
"Told you so." Edward laughed. I glared at him but stayed calm.
"Quite Ed," Bella frowned. "Well this does prove Edwards theory but I think there has to be something more."
"I agree. I don't think this would just happen." Mother said.
My dad looked at Synthia, "I want to know what happened here when you came in the house."
"We are off that subject. It was an accident, right Edward?" Bella said. Edward was about to protest when Bella hit him and he nodded in agreement. Then he got up and came over to me. I watched as he reached to my ears. He felt them then let go.
"There's something strange about your changes. I know you're sixteen and you're the right age to begin to change but I think your body is fighting with its self." He sighed.
"What?" everyone asked confused.
"I can read the thoughts in his subconscious mind. When I do, I find two voices. One is the vampire side of him who wants him to become full vampire but then his werewolf side is trying to keep him human. It sounds weird but it's what I hear." Edward shrugged. I stared at him completely lost. He sighed then looked at Bella. "I think it's time we go. Esme wanted us to come up and visit today."
She nodded and gave my mom, my dad, me, and Synthia a hug. "Good-bye." She said.
I watched them leave then turned to my parents. I had a question for them. "Mom and Dad, Greiver wants to come over and help fix my leg so I stop limping as often. Is that okay?" I said. Everyone stared at me and I felt like a small little ant being looked down upon by a bunch of giants. I cowered and leaned back as my dad walked with an inch of my face. He then rolled his eyes. "Fine, I don't care."
Synthia followed me to my room and sat down on my bed while I sat at my computer desk. I quickly sent an email to Greiver telling him to come over when he could. When I turned back to Synthia, she was staring at the floor. I frowned.
"What's the matter?"I asked.
"Nothing. You wouldn't understand." She turned her head to look at the wall.
"Please tell me. You are my imprint after all and it hurts me when you're hurt." I pouted.
"It's girl stuff. Just leave it be." She said.
"I can't do that. If you want to sleep in my room with me you'll have to tell me…and keep your secret service out." I said, hearing them outside my door.
"GUYS! You can leave. I'm safer here than anywhere else in the house since the room has no windows since it's in the middle of the house." Synthia yelled. There was grumbling and then I heard them leave the house. She went back to looking at the floor.
"Will you tell me after supper today?" I asked, than looked at the clock. It was only 11:47 in the morning. Damn.
"Sure. I promise I will." She looked up at me and smiled.
"Thank you." I smiled and hugged her. I may not like her all the time but she was my Imprint and I still loved her all the same. I would hate it if she was hurt or bothered. And I would protect her at any cost.
"What have you got for fun down here?" She asked.
"Well, since I'm like any other boy, video games. Lots and lots of video games." I laughed. She smiled.
"Don't care. I like to play the occasional video game." She smiled.
"But you're twenty-two? Don't you…wait…no…you don't have a job…you have money because of your dad." I said. She nodded. "You must get really bored." I sighed.
"That's why I came here." She giggled.
We played games and completely skipped lunch. At six o'clock, my mom called us to dinner. Even though she didn't need to eat, she made enough to look like she did. We ate in silence that night. That was a first in my life. Just as I put my plate in the sink, the doorbell rang. My sister answered it. It was Greiver.
"I'm here!" He shouted, seeing me. I rolled my eyes.
"I see that. No need to yell. By the way Greiver, This is my girlfriend Synthia. And please don't ask about the ears or tail." I said. He nodded and we went to my room. He then excused himself to the bathroom. I looked at Synthia. "You don't have to tell me now that he is here ok?" I said.
"I'll tell you now." She said, took a breath, then looked at me. "Rayne….I wish is was pregnant."
