Chapter 2: Secrets Revealed
A week had passed and the Cullens found that my eyes went golden much sooner than the normal vampire's eyes would. They also found I was much less wild than most newborns at this stage.
One day, about a week and a half after I'd been turned, Carlisle descended the stairs, looking triumphant.
"I've finally figured it out!" he said as we all sat on couches in the living room.
"What's that Carlisle?" Rosalie asked him.
"Kristen, as a human, had unusual DNA. And that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you Kristen, but you were born with an unusual ability. Almost like Alice." He said, looking at me. "You were born with a very underdeveloped telekinetic ability. When you were turned, however, that ability became much more acute, giving you the ability to move things at will."
"Um, okay." I said, trying to get my head around what he'd said to me.
"And, in regards to human blood being unappealing to you, well, that was much more difficult for me to figure out, but I eventually managed to come up with a theory. Kristen, when you were human, you wouldn't have been able to eat most of the foods that other humans ate, because you had an unusual intolerance to most foods. You most likely would've only been able to eat salads, fruit and vegetables. Otherwise, you would've had an allergic reaction. This intolerance has obviously stayed with you even now. That's why you're finding human blood unusually unappealing. You must be intolerant to it, meaning that you would have an unusual allergic reaction to it if you ingest any more than you originally started off with. That's the most likely reason behind your unusual talents." He explained and Esme looked confused.
"But Carlisle, if she's a vampire, what would the allergic reaction to human blood be for her? Would it threaten her life in a way that none of us had ever thought possible?" she asked her husband.
"I'm not completely sure if it would threaten her life if ingested, Esme, but I'd rather not take the risk. I can't even tell for sure what her reaction would be. Remember, what I said to you is just a theory because it's very difficult to tell for sure what biological problems she may have had when she was human, even for me." He said softly and we all nodded.
