Chapter 3: First Sight Part 2

Carlisle handed his wife the book and she got comfortable before she unnecessarily cleared her throat and began to read.

When I finished putting my clothes in the old pine dresser, I took my bag of bathroom necessities and went to the communal bathroom to clean myself up after the day of travel. I looked at my face in the mirror as I brushed my through my tangled, damp hair. Maybe it was the light, but already I looked sallower, unhealthy. My skin could be pretty- it was very clear, almost translucent looking- but it depended on color. I had no color here.

"Well that makes no sense everyone has color!" Emmet said stupidly causing everyone to chuckle and roll their eyes at the big man-child.

"It's sarcasm Em," Edward said exasperatedly wanting to bang his head on a wall. He knew Emmet can be smart behind that stupid mask he puts up is a very smart man. But her never shows it and it annoys Edward to see his potential go to waste.

Facing my pallid reflection in the mirror, I was forced to admit that I was lying to myself. It wasn't physically that I'd never fit in. And if I couldn't find a niche in a school with three thousand people, what were my chances here?

At that the Cullen kids who went to high school more times than they would want felt for the girl. They knew finding a niche in school is important for having a smooth time in school. Which is why they are their own niche both because they can't get close to the humans but because as they only need each other.

I didn't relate well to people my age.

"That sucks! Is there something wrong with her" Kate blurted out before Esme could continue causing growls to be heard around the room.

"Maybe she is too smart for others her age" Tanya defended her mate glaring at her sister for insulting her mate.

"Maybe seeing as she has spent god knows how long mothering Renee and being an adult she either never learned how to be a kid and thus how kids her age should act." Leah stated glaring at the Leech who dared to badmouth her imprint and also pissed because she believes that is what happened to Bella and it makes her mad at Renee but since she is not here to take her displeasure out on the leech who insulted Bella will have to do.

"Or maybe she is not a people person." Jacob offered trying to calm down as he needed to hear more about Bella and if he is mad or shifts he would have to leave to calm down seeing as both of his imprints are too mad to calm him and he is in no state to calm them down.

Kate not knowing that she insulted her sisters mate or an imprint was confused what's got their panties in a twist? shrugging she ignored the growls directed at her as she listened to Esme continue all the while wondering if maybe this Bella is Tanya's mate.

Maybe the truth was that I didn't relate well to people, period.

"Well we don't either so maybe she could hang with us, it would make us stick out less and she would feel better," Emmett said proud of his plan to make his family appear more normal to the humans and help out a girl who reminds him of his baby sister Marie from when he was human. Meanwhile his wife smacked the back of his head and Edward growled at him for his idiocy/

"Oh hell no Emmett didn't you listen to how observant she is and us never eating well that will add to things she would see if she did not to mention the danger of the situation then the she would figure out what we are and we will have to either kill her or turn her" Rosalie said a vicious glare set on her perfect face it was enough even to make Emmett shrink in his seat.

Growls echoed across the room at the thought of the Cullen's killing or biting a human especially Bella. Jacob and Leah were close to shifting, Tanya who knew the laws was calming her mates down as best as she can while explaining the exception to the Law is mates and seeing as she is her mate Bella is safe.

Meanwhile Carlisle was explaining to the pack about the Volturi and their laws as well as the consequences of breaking them.

"Yes Emmett you should maybe think before you start to say things" Edward said as he too glared at Emmett while rubbing his temple as the growls and arguments around the room gave him a headache.

"Enough! Behave and let's just continue shall we" Esme said sweetly and Edward and Rosalie grudgingly stopped there glaring.

Even my mother, who I was closer to than anyone else on the planet, was never in harmony with me, never exactly on the same page. Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain. But the cause didn't matter. All that mattered was the effect. And tomorrow would just be the beginning.

I didn't sleep well that night, even after I was done crying.

"Aww" the girls cooed in sympathy for the girl feeling bad she was crying and wishing she would like Forks enough to not cry every night.

The constant whooshing of the rain and the wind across the roof wouldn't fade into the background. I pulled the faded quilt over my head, and later added the pillow, too. But I couldn't fall asleep until after midnight, when the rain finally settled into a quieter drizzle. Thick fog was all I could see out my window in the morning, and I could feel the claustrophobia creeping up on me. You could never see the sky here; it was like a cage.

"That's Forks for you" Rosalie said sarcastically

Breakfast with Charlie was a quiet event. He wished me good luck at school. I thanked him knowing his hope was wasted.

"that's strange, I wonder why she would think that? " Jake wondered aloud

Good luck tended to avoid me.

"Oh I guess that's why"

Charlie left first, off to the police station that was his wife and family. After he left, I sat at the old square oak table in one of the three unmatching chairs and examined his small kitchen, with its dark paneled walls, bright yellow cabinets, and white linoleum floor. Nothing was changed. My mother had painted the cabinets eighteen years ago in an attempt to bring some sunshine into the house. Over the small fireplace in the adjoining handkerchief-sized family room was a row of pictures. First a wedding picture of Charlie and my mom in Las Vegas, then one of the three of us in the hospital after I was born, taken by a helpful nurse, followed by a procession of my school pictures up to last year's. Those were embarrassing to look at- I would have to see what I could do to get Charlie to put them somewhere else, at least while I was living here.

It was impossible, being in this house, not to realize that Charlie had never gotten over my mom. It made me uncomfortable.

"Poor Charlie, maybe we should set him up on a blind date?" Sue suggested to her husband to which he agreed causing Billy to shift uncomfortably. The only person besides Renee he would even consider dating is Sue and I know he would never go for her seeing she is taken.

I didn't want to be early to school, but I couldn't stay in the house anymore. I donned my jacket- which had the feel of a biohazard suit- and headed out into the rain. It was just drizzling still, not enough to soak me though immediately as I reached for the house key that was always hidden under the eaves by the door, and locked up.

The sloshing of my new waterproof boots was unnerving. I missed the normal crunch of gravel as I walked. I couldn't pause and admire my truck again as I wanted: I was in a hurry to get out of the misty wet that swirled around my head and clung to my hair under my hood. Inside the truck, it was nice and dry. Either Billy or Charlie had obviously cleaned it up,

"I did!" Jacob shouted proudly his chest puffing up in pride that his imprint noticed someone cleaned it up. Even though she thinks it was dad or Charlie she notice it!

Tanya discreetly rolled her eyes at her mate and kissed his cheek while Leah openly rolled her eyes at her imprint muttering dork under her breath knowing everyone supernatural could hear her but with affection in her voice to take out any sting.

but the tan upholstered seats still smelled faintly of tobacco, gasoline and peppermint.

"gross it most likely would smell of dog too" Rosalie said as she wrinkled her nose causing said dogs to growl and Jakes pride to deflate knowing she was that observant to point out the smell.

The engine started quickly, to my relief, but loudly, roaring to life and then idling at top volume. Well, a truck this old was bound to have a flaw. The antique radio worked, a plus that I hadn't expected.

"I didn't either," Rosalie scoffed in agreement as even Jake was surprised as he hadn't fixed the radio yet he had just finished fixing the engine last week and was getting the parts to fix the radio this week. But knowing he fixed it left him proud as he thought it was hopeless at first glance.

Finding the school wasn't difficult, though I'd never been there before. The school was, like most things, just off the highway. It was not obvious that is was the school; only the sign, which declared it to be the Forks High School, made me stop. It looked like a collection of matching houses, built with maroon-colored bricks. There were so many trees and shrubs I couldn't see its size at first. Where was the feel of the institution? I wondered nostalgically. Where were the chain-link fences, the metal detectors?

"Metal detectors?" Emmett asked confused why would Bella think she was going to a prison when she mention going to forks high?

"Yes most big schools find the need to check students for weapons that might be harmful; to others" Edward said remembering from the minds he had read from some schools like that and how one student was found bringing a knife to the school but was caught thanks to the metal detectors.

I parked in front of the first building, which had a small sign over the door reading FRONT OFFICE. No one else was parked there, so I was sure it was off limits, but I decided I would get directions inside instead of circling around in the rain like an idiot. I stepped unwillingly out of the toasty truck cab and walked down a little stone path lined with dark hedges. I took a deep breath before opening the door.

Inside it was brightly lit, and warmer than I'd hoped. The office was small; a little waiting area with padded folding chairs, orange-flecked commercial carpet, notices and awards cluttering the walls, a big clock ticking loudly. Plants grew everywhere in large plastic pots, as if there wasn't enough greenery outside. The room was cut in half by a long counter, cluttered with wire baskets full of papers and brightly colored flyers taped to its front.

There were three desks behind the counter, one of which was manned by a large, red-haired woman wearing glasses. She was wearing a purple t-shirt, which immediately made me feel overdressed.

"who is this fashion disaster?" Alice practically shrieked crinkling her nose in disgust at her attire causing everyone to laugh.

The red-haired woman looked up.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm Isabella Swan," I informed her and saw the immediate awareness in her eyes. I was expected, a topic of gossip no doubt. Daughter of the Chief's flighty ex-wife, come home at last.

"Of course," she said. She dug through a precariously stacked pile of documents on her desk till she found the right ones she was looking for.

"I have your schedule right here, and a map of the school." She brought several sheets to the counter to show me. She went through my classes for me, highlighting the best route to each on the map, and gave me a slip to have each teacher sign, which I was to bring back at the end of the day. She smiled at me and hoped, like Charlie, that I would like it here in Forks. I smiled back as convincingly as I could.

When I went back out to my truck, other students were starting to arrive. I drove around the school, following the line of traffic. I was glad to see that most of the cars were older like mine, nothing flashy.

"Duh all the cars but ours suck" Emmett said with a small grimace that Rosalie nodded her head vigorously in agreement to.

At home I'd lived in one of the few lower-income neighborhoods that were included in the Paradise Valley District. It was a common thing to see a new Mercedes or Porsche in the student lot.

"A Porsche," Alice said reverently with a dreamy sigh that was mimicked by Rosalie who had a wide eyed dreamy look on her face thinking of having a yellow canary Porches while Rosalie thought of having a cherry red one.

Still, I cut the engine as soon as I was in a spot, so that the thunderous volume wouldn't draw attention to me. I looked at the map in the truck, trying to memorize it now; hopefully I wouldn't have to walk around with it stuck in front of my nose all day. I stuffed everything into my bag, slung the strap over my shoulder, and sucked in a huge breath. I can do this, I lied to myself feebly. No one was going to bite me.

The vampires in the room chuckle while the wolves not mated to the vampires and elders looked warily at the vampires.

I finally exhaled and stepped out of the truck. I kept my face pulled back into my hood as I walked to the sidewalk, crowded with teenagers. My black leather jacket did kind of stand out, I noticed but whatever. Once I got around to the cafeteria, building three was easy to spot. A large black "3" was painted on a white square n the east corner.

I felt my breathing gradually creep toward hyperventilation as I approached the door. I tried holding my breath as I followed two unisex raincoats through the door. The classroom was small. The people in front of me stopped just inside the door to hang up their coats on a long row of hooks. I copied them. They were two girls, one porcelain-colored blonde, the other also pale with light brown hair. At least my skin wouldn't stand out here.

I took the slip up to the teacher, a tall, balding man whose desk had a nameplate identifying him as Mr. Mason. He gawked at me when he saw my name- not an encouraging response- and of course I flushed tomato red. But at least he sent me to an empty desk at the back without introducing me to the class. It was harder for me new classmates to stare at me at the back, but somehow they managed. I kept my eyes down on the reading list the teacher had given me. It was fairly basic: Bronte, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Faulkner. I'd already read everything. That was comforting and boring. I wondered if my mom would send me my folder of old essays, or if she would think that was cheating. I went through different arguments with her in my head while the teacher droned on. When the bell rang, a nasal buzzing sound, a gangly boy with skin problems and hair black as an oil slick leaned across the aisle to talk to me.

"You're Isabella Swan, aren't you?" He looked like the overly helpful, chess club type.

"Bella," I corrected. Everyone within a three-seat radius turned to look at me.

"Where's your next class?" he asked.

I had to check in my bag. "Umm, Government, with Jefferson, in building six." There was nowhere to look without meeting curious eyes.

"I'm headed toward building four, I could show you the way…" Definitely over-helpful.

"I'm Eric," he added.

I smiled tentatively. "Thanks."

We got our jackets and headed out into the rain, which had picked up. I could have sworn several people behind us were walking close enough to eavesdrop. I hoped I wasn't getting paranoid.

"So, this is very different than Phoenix, huh?" he asked.

"Very."

"It doesn't rain much there, does it?"

"Three or four times a year."

"Wow, what must that be like?" he wondered.

"Dry, sunny and humid" Muttered Leah who knew some people from there and had visited before she became a wolf.

"Sunny," I told him.

"You don't look very tan."

"My mother is part albino."

Everyone laughed especially Billy who knew for a fact that Renee is not an albino.

He studied my face apprehensively, and I sighed. It looked like clouds and a sense of humor didn't mix.

Everyone chuckled again while Emmet looked horrified at the thought of a town with no sense of humor.

A few months of this and I'd forget how to use sarcasm. We walked back around the cafeteria, to the south buildings by the gym. Eric walked me right to the door, though it was clearly marked.

"Well, good luck," he said as I touched the handle. "Maybe we'll have some other classes together." He sounded hopeful.

I smiled at him vaguely and went inside. The rest of the morning passed in about the same fashion. My Trigonometry teacher, Mr. Varner, who I would have hated anyway just because of the subject he taught, was the only one who made me stand in front of the class and introduce myself.

"Poor girl," Esme said with sympathy while everyone else nodded in agreement

I stammered, blushed and tripped over my own boots on the way to my seat. After two classes, I started to recognize several of the faces in each class. There was always someone braver than the others who would introduce themselves and ask me questions about how I was liking Forks. I tried to be diplomatic, but mostly I just lied a lot. At least I never needed a map.

"she always looks to the bright side I like it" Kate said causing Jacob, Tanya and Leah to smile slightly thinking about their mate and how wonderful she sounds, they really can't wait to meet her.

One girl sat next to me in both Trig and Spanish, and she walked with me to the cafeteria for lunch. She was tiny, several inches shorter than my five feet four inches, but her wildly curly dark hair made up a lot of difference between our heights. I couldn't remember her name, so I smiled and nodded as she prattled on about teachers and classes. I didn't try to keep up.

We sat at the end of a full table with several of her friends, who she introduced to me. I forgot all their names as soon as she spoke them. They seemed impressed by her bravery in speaking to me. The boy from English, Eric, waved at me from across the room. It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make conversation with seven curious strangers, that I first saw them.

"This must be where whatever she meets supernatural is focused in the books." Carlisle reasoned.

"It's probably us" admitted Rosalie though she didn't sound happy about it, as the others shared a worried look due to the fact how observant she is they wondered how much she will notice at first glance.

They were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, as far away from where I sat as possible in the long room. There were five of them. They weren't talking, and they weren't eating, though they each had a tray of untouched food in front of them.

"No doubt about it this girl is way too observant for her own good" Jasper said with a worried frown

"Yes it seems that way but please let me continue" Esme said worried as she continued reading in a rather tense voice.

They weren't gawking at me, unlike most of the other students, so it was quite safe to stare at them without fear of meeting an excessively interested pair of eyes. But it was none of these things that caught, and held my attention. They didn't look anything alike. Of the three boys, one was big-muscled like a serious weightlifter, with dark, curly hair.

"I'm the first one she notices? Hah! Beat that!" Emmett said causing Rosalie to hit him on the head

Another was taller, leaner, but still muscular, and honey-blond. The last was lanky, less bulky, with untidy, bronze-colored hair. He was more boyish than the others, who looked like they could be in college or even teachers here as opposed to students.

"She seems to be very interested in you Edward" Carlisle said causing Esme to smile slightly- maybe she's his mate oh that would be lovely he deserves someone after being alone for so long.

Meanwhile Tanya, Jacob and Leah were growling at Edward and the Cullen's for insinuating that THEIR Bella would ever be douchwards mate! But the only ones to notice Bella is their mate are the Denali's and Jasper seeing as being an empathy for so long even without his gift can tell. the rest are either not paying attention or are in denial that someone can have four mates.

The girls were opposites. The tall one was statuesque. She had a beautiful figure, the kind you saw on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, the kind that made every girl around her take a hit on her self-esteem just by being in the same room. Her hair was golden, gently waving to the middle of her back.

"Wow she has a good eye" Emmett said looking at his wife with love and lust in his eyes while Rosalie has a smug smirk and a look like the cat that ate the canary

The short girl was pixie like, thin in the extreme, with small features. Her hair was a deep black, cropped short and pointing in every direction. She looked cute like a pixie or an elf.

"I don't look like a pixy or an elf!" Alice shrieked feeling absolutely offended while everyone laughed at the pixie vampire.

And yet, they were all exactly alike. Every one of them was chalky pale, the palest of all the students living in this sunless town. Paler than me, the albino. They all had very dark eyes despite their range in hair tones.

there was a moment of shocked silence as they realized just how observant this little human can be and this is just their first meeting. They can't imagine how much she would notice if she spent more time with them.

"That girl is freaky!" Kate blurted out at the same time as Emmet said " this girl is scary!" Tanya was to shocked to even defend her mate while her other two mates had no problem growling at them.

The rest of the Cullen's however are worried enough to even reconsider moving to Forks at all on the off chance this girl finds out about them. But remembering the note they would judge if they should go after they read the books.

They also had dark shadows under those eyes- purplish, bruise like shadows. As if they were all suffering from a sleepless night, or almost done recovering from a broken nose. Though their noses, all their features, were straight, perfect, angular.

"she seems very observant even from that distance" Jasper said getting even more worried for his families safety as well as Bella's.

But this was not the reason why I could not look away.

"Huh she really isn't that different from ordinary people then she also must find us extremely good looking" Edward said sounding slightly arrogant his chest puffing out in pride causing Bella's mates to look at him in disgust.

I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all so devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.

"See" Edward said feeling smug that he was right

"nobody agreed or disagreed with you Eddie," Irena said with a roll of her eyes ignoring Edward growling at her for calling him Eddie

They were faces you never expected to see except perhaps on the airbrushed pages of a fashion magazine. Or painted by an old master as the face of an angel. It was hard to decide who was the most beautiful- maybe the perfect blonde girl, or the bronze-haired boy.

They were all looking away- away from each other, away from the other students, way from anything in particular as far as I could tell. As I watched, the small girl rose with her tray in her hand-unopened soda, unbitten apple- and walked away with a quick, graceful lope that belonged on a runway.

"again very observant" Carlisle said

I watched, amazed at her lithe dancer's step, till she dumped her tray and glided through the back door, faster than I would have thought possible. My eyes darted back to the others, who sat unchanging.

"Who are they?" I asked the girl from my Spanish class, whose name I'd already forgotten.

"I wonder how this girl will describe us" Alice wondered aloud then shuddered at if she described her as an elf or a pixy again.

As she looked up to see who I meant-though already knowing, probably from my tone- suddenly he looked at her, the thinner one, the boyish one, the youngest perhaps. He looked at my neighbor for just a fraction of a second, and then his dark eyes flickered to mine.

He looked away quickly, more quickly than I could, though in a flush of embarrassment I dropped my eyes at once. In that brief flash of a glance, his face held nothing of interest- it was if she had called his name, and he'd looked up in involuntary response, having already decided on an answer.

"I have never heard of a human noticing so much in just one glance" Carlisle said his tone showed his amazement and his want to study her while his family members looked slightly amazed and worried too even Rosalie was worried about how observant the girl seemed

My neighbor giggled in embarrassment, looking at the table like I did.

"That's Edward and Emmett Cullen and Rosalie and Jasper Hale. The one who left was Alice Cullen; they all live together with Dr. Cullen and his wife." She said this all under one breath.

I glanced sideways at the weird pretty boy, who was looking at his tray now, picking a bagel to pieces with long, pale fingers. His mouth was moving very quickly, his perfect lips barely opening. The other three still looked away, and yet I felt he was speaking quietly to them.

"it is slightly concerning how much she has noticed in so little time" Carlisle wondered aloud

"Yes and imagine how much she could notice if she stayed in Forks" Esme said concerned for her family's well being and the girls. Noticing too much is not good for her health and life expectancy.

Strange, unpopular names, I thought. The kinds of names grandparents had

"Ha-ha only because were old enough for that to be true and older" Kate giggled

But maybe that was in vogue here-small town names? I finally remembered that my neighbor was called Jessica, a perfectly common name. There were two girls named Jessica in my History class back home.

"They are…very nice looking." I struggled with the conspicuous understatement.

"Yes!" Jessica agreed with another giggle. "They're all together though- Emmett and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice, I mean. And they live together."

"Oh no what a crime call the Po- Po" Emmett and Kate said in mock horror then burst out laughing causing his family to laugh with him

Her voice held all the shock and condemnation of the small town, I thought critically. But, if I was being honest, I had to admit that even in Phoenix, it would cause gossip.

"Which ones are the Cullen's?" I asked. "They don't look related…?"

"Oh, they're not. Dr. Cullen is really young, in his twenties or early thirties.

"Only to humans" Carlisle said

They're all adopted. The Hales are brother and sister, twins- the blondes- and they're foster children."

"They look a little old for foster children."

"They are now, Jasper and Rosalie are both eighteen, but they've been with Mrs. Cullen since they were eight. She's their aunt or something like that."

"That's really nice- for them to take care of all those kids like that, when they're so young and everything."

"I guess so," Jessica admitted reluctantly, and I got the impression that she didn't like the doctor and his wife for some reason. With the glances she was throwing at the adopted children, I would presume the reason was jealousy.

"I think that Mrs. Cullen can't have kids though," she added, as if that lessened their kindness.

Esme smiled slightly at the fact that the girl seemed truly kind and hoped she could meet her one day even if it would be from a distance.

Throughout all this conversation, my eyes flickered again and again to the table where the strange family sat. They continued to look at the walls and not eat.

"Have they always lived in Forks?" I asked. Surely I would have noticed them on one of my summers here.

"No," she said in a voice that implied it should be obvious, even to a new arrival like me. "They just moved down two years ago from somewhere in Alaska."

I felt a surge of pity and relief.

"Interesting mix of her emotions wonder why" Jasper said

"Well lets read and find out" Tanya said anxious to find out herself she didn't like this much reactions to Edward and where is she and her mates while this child catches our mates attention?

Pity because, as beautiful as they were, they were outsiders, clearly not accepted. Relief that I wasn't the only newcomer here, and certainly not the most interesting by any standard.

"Ah that explains it" Jasper said as it made sense

As I examined them, the youngest, one of the Cullen's, looked up and met my gaze, this time with evident curiosity in his expression. As I looked swiftly away, it seemed to me that his glance held some kind of unmet expectation.

"What that's interesting I wonder why" Edward said slightly annoyed

"Which is the boy with the reddish brown hair?" I asked. I peeked at him from the corner of my eye, and he was till staring at me, but not gawking like the other students had today- he had a slightly frustrated expression. I looked down again.

"Why are you frustrated" Rosalie asked confused at his behavior

"Maybe at how much she noticed or about something she thought?" Edward stuttered slightly as he tried to come up with a good explanation but was coming up blank

"But Eddie these are her thoughts," Kate pointed out.

"I know that now Kate but my book self wouldn't" Edward said through gritted teeth he hated being called Eddie besides he had a suspicion of why he was frustrated and hoped he was wrong

"That's Edward. He's gorgeous, of course, but don't waste your time. He doesn't date. Apparently none of the girls here are good-looking enough for him." She sniffed, a clear case of sour grapes. I wondered when he'd turned her down.

At this comment, everyone began to laugh.

"She is very perceptive," said Rosalie, still laughing, "I like her."

I bit my lip to hide a smile. Then I glanced at him again. His face was turned away, but I thought his cheek appeared lifted, as if he were smiling, too.

"no doubt I was" Edward said chuckling

After a few more minutes, the four of them left the table together. They were all noticeably graceful- even the big, brawny one. It was unsettling to watch. The one named Edward didn't look at me again. I sat at the table with Jessica and her friends than I would have if I'd been sitting alone. One of my new acquaintances, who considerately reminded me that her name was Angela, had Biology II with me the next hour.

We walked to class together in silence. She was shy, too. When we entered the classroom, Angela went to sit at a black-topped lab table exactly like the ones I was used to. She already had a neighbor. In fact, all the tables were filled but one. Next to the center aisle, I recognized Edward Cullen by his unusual hair, sitting next to that single open seat.

"poor human she has to work with Edward" Kate said sympathetically

As I walked down the aisle to introduce myself to the teacher and get my slip signed, I was watching him surreptitiously. Just as I passed, he suddenly went rigid in his seat. He stared at me again, meeting my eyes with the strangest expression on his face- it was hostile, furious.

"Why are you pissed off at her she didn't do anything," Tanya growled at her cousin she didn't like how he is treating her at the moment and likes it even less how much she notices about him.

"I have no idea this hasn't happened yet, it might not happen! I don't know but I did nothing wrong. This is a book!" Edward shouted at his cousin frustrated at having to repeat himself and not knowing what is going on.

"Why don't we take a break stretch our legs and feed our guests than we can continue okay?" Carmen suggested shocking many people as she hasn't spoken much that many forgot that she was here. With the approval of the Quileute's or their stomachs rather they left the book in the living room to go eat and decided to get to know the vamps better after all they will be stuck her for awhile and they have mates to get to know too.
