My first appointment with Dr. Cullen

~Brooklyn~

I sighed putting my head in my hands while I sat on the bed, thingy, kind of embaressed by Mom as she had kind of cornered Dr. Cullen as soon as he entered the room with the contract. Fortunately it seems Mom had contacted him before about the contract so we didn't spend the first five to ten minutes having to explain the whole point of it. At one point Mom had to find me a whole different doctor because the one she took me to refused to sign it and she made us leave.

Dr. Cullen had gold eyes and very pale skin. Just like the teens at the school. He has shortish blonde hair that was slicked back, like Draco Malfoy's from Harry Potter, and he of couse of wearing a doctor's coat. Although under that he had on a dark blue dress shirt, black slacks and black dress shoes. I know he wanted to look professional, but to me it kind of looked like he was going to a wedding for date night with the Mrs. after work.

After he signed it, Mom looked it over, which took about two minutes, before she nodded and FINALLY let he examine me. And I'm sure he understood the reasoning for the contract when he grabbed his stethoscope and checked my heart, or hearts as he soon figured out. "Oh my." He said as soon as he had put it against the right side of my back and had me breathe in and out. "I can see why you were so decisive with the contract." He said looking over at Mom who was sitting down in one of the two chairs in the small examination room.

"Yes, well I don't want her to become some sort of experiment." She said, I'm sure still not sure if he would follow the contract.

"Is this a normal check up...or?"

"Well Brook has been showing strange changes which prompted me to get her a new doctor so I could be sure her life wasn't in danger."

"What type of things?" He asked, both of them paying me no attention.

"The first one I noticed was, Brook used to wear glasses as she couldn't see more than a foot in front of her face. About three weeks ago, her vision started getting better and from what she told me, she can see meters away perfectly clear. Next was her sense of smell and hearing has gotten better as well. About a week ago we had turned on the TV, radio and her father was talking on the phone with a friend and I dropped a needle in the living room while she was in the kitchen with the radio right by her and she still heard it. She can also tell what I'm making for dinner from her bedroom which was on the second floor and on the other side of the house."

"That is amazing, I've never heard of anything like this." He said and it was only just then that I realized that out of the three heart beats I could hear, none of them were coming from my new doctor who was standing right beside me. "What else?"

"Well as you can imagine, Brook's two hearts make her gain energy twice as quickly and she has always had a lot of trouble with that, but recently she has been able to run faster and for much longer periods of time. The fastest I have ever seen her run, with no real problem, was when I had gone down to the garage in our old house and she was on the tread mil and was going at nearly thirty miles an hour. She is also stronger, has much faster reflexes and heals much faster."

"What do you mean?"

"Brook." Mom said looking over at me. I pulled out my pocket knife and cut the palm of my hand so Dr. Cullen could see. At first he tried to stop me, but when he saw the wound sealing shut, he stood there staring at my hand in shock.

"I have never seen anyone heal THAT fast." He muttered far too quietly for Mom to hear him as the wound fully sealed up.

"Come on, Brook." Mom said about half an hour or so later after the appointment with Dr. Cullen was over. Most of the time, we spent showing him all of what I can do while he watched utterly amazed. While Mom wasn't sure if we could trust him, I was. I mean he keeps the fact that he isn't alive a secret, I'm sure he could keep my secret save as well.
