Chapter 4
That Friday, Forks high School was in an uproar. Word had gotten out that mutants were in the area. But not only were they in the area, they were attending Forks high. The students of Forks high were beside themselves with the news.
"Can you believe it? Real mutants!" One student commented.
"Oh, yeah I met one of them..." another student attempted to lie. The students were not the only ones beside themselves but the teachers didn't know how to feel. Unlike their students, they were not ignorant as to who Dr. Grey or Professor Munroe were. They had seen them on CNN constantly fighting for mutant rights. When Principle Banner presented them with the idea—they didn't know what to think, to be honest, they were a little overwhelmed and excited at the same time. They had lived in Forks, Washington their whole lives and not once have they came in contact with a mutant. It was then they agreed that the mutant's presence here was a good idea, because they were severely sheltered and ignorant when it came to mutants.
There was, however, one group, who were not fazed with the idea of mutants in Forks. The Cullen clan had never come in contact with the mutants and when the mutants were first discovered, the vampire world did their best to avoid them.
"I bet Carlisle would love this. I'm willing to bet he's already found out and has begun his own research." Alice said from the back of Edwards Volvo.
"What was Forks thinking when they agreed to this? According from some of the things we saw on the news, these mutants can be highly violent. How do we know they won't lose control?" Jasper said staring at Alice with a crease between his brows. Rosalie rolled her eyes. She didn't see anything wrong with it. She and her family weren't in danger and they weren't about to be expose—what did she care. In her mind, she was a vampire and that made her and anyone like her superior. Edward shook his head at her thoughts. He knew how over confident Rosalie could be.
"Don't worry anyone… if anyone of those mutants gets out of line I'll teach them a lesson." Emmett said flexing his biceps. Emmett was as bad as Rosalie sometimes—thinking nothing could be stronger than him. When they reached home Esme greeted each of them with a welcome home hug.
"How was school? Esme asked softly.
"Interesting. All Forks can talk about is the impending arrival of the mutants on Monday." Edward replied. Edward read in Esme's mind that Carlisle had called and talked to her about it, since mutants were in the area he wanted them all to be careful.
"Well if they're still in high school, the must be harmless, so don't over think this." Esme told them. After that conversation about the mutants ceased until Carlisle got home where they had a proper family conversation about it. They decided to stick to the plan they had been going by when dealing with the humans and that was stay to themselves.
"I can't see them." Alice said when the family meeting was over. Her family looked at her with confusion. "The mutants… I can't see them." She added.
"What do you see when you try?" Jasper asked going to her side.
"Nothing… it's just a blank spot." Everyone looked to Carlisle, who was deep in thought. Edward watched as different ideas passed in his head until he found a solution that might work.
"Alice… you see vampires because you are one. And you see humans because you were one." He paused before continuing. "Maybe you can't see mutants because you never experienced what it was like to be one." He finished.
"That makes since, but just thinking about them is giving me a headache. This just proves that I rely too much on the future." She added. Looks like the humans aren't the only ones who'll be learning something new, Alice thought. Edward shook his head. He wasn't about to let this affect him.
