(an: i dont own stephenie meyers's blah blah blah books!)
"It doesn't matter," Edward said," Many people can get a lot of information from someone's eyes."
"Can you read Bella's mind, now that she's a vampire and all, or were you just answering Andrews's worries in his head?" I asked. I felt a sudden splurge of questions that were about to burst out.
"He still cannot read my mind." Bella answered my question with an oddly relaxed tone in her voice.
"What about me?" I was genuinely curious. I was hoping I would be the second blue moon that he couldn't read my mind.
All of a sudden I hear the tires screech to a halt and I look up to see a white mansion sitting alone in the middle of a meadow. Before I can grasp the concept I felt a sudden rush of cool wind coming from my side door. Andrew held out one hand to help me up. I started humming mindlessly and then everyone turned to me. Edward, Bella, and Andrew were all looking like I just did something horrible. I stopped humming.
"What did she just do?" Bella asked in a worried tone.
"I don't know, I've never heard anything like it." Edward said making me feel as though I would be asked to hum again.
Just then Carlisle appeared on the porch, "Who did that?" he asked even more confused then Edward was.
"I did…" I said meekly and shyly.
"Get inside quickly!" Carlisle yelled.
We all rushed inside, but with Bella and Edwards super speed my sprinting seemed like an evening stroll. We get in the house and I see the famous baby grand piano that Edward played Bella's lullaby on. I turned and saw Alice, Jasper, and Esme standing at the bottom of the stairs. Alice looked more beautiful then I'd pictured her.
"So remind me again who made that noise." Carlisle wasn't making a request he was making a demand.
"I did." I said defensively as if I was going to argue with any of the Cullen's over whether my voice sounded good or not.
"You two should go out back to the creek." Edward said to me and Andrew. He was gesturing to the long south facing glass wall.
Andrew and I walked in silence as we got to the creek. We sat on one of the big rocks that had been buried with a bit still sticking out over the edge of the creek.
"So you know my dad and mom are…"
"Vampires."
"And that I'm still…"
"Human."
"Those people at the stares were my aunt, uncle, and grandmother."
"I know. Alice, Jasper, and Esme." I said with a shrug.
"And your not scared?!" He asked as if it was crazy that I hadn't been scared. I probably wasn't scared because I wanted to be one of them but nobody knew that except for probably Edward.
"Why would I be?" I don't know why I had just uttered the stupidest sentence in the world but it didn't scare me really.
"A guy you barely know just brought you to a house full of blood drinking vampires who at the moment are talking about what that thing was you did!"
"First of all they're Vegetarian Vampires and secondly… what thing I did? Humming?" I was confused. Never before in my life had I felt like I did something so wrong as it felt right now.
"No. You weren't just humming; you did some voodoo thing with your voice."
"I don't understand." I finally admitted. I never did point out my faults. Even when I know I did it wrong I don't ask for help ever. This will have to be an exception.
"Come on inside you two!" I heard Alice. Her wind-chime voice was just as I had pictured it.
We walk inside the room with 6 vampires all staring at me, five of them wearing earmuffs.
"What's this about?" I asked as the room started spinning.
"Will you please sing for us, we have to do a test?" Carlisle said with a smile on his face.
"What do you want me to sing?" I asked. If the song was too good I would have to say know or risk embarrassing myself.
"Just sing 'Can I have some soda?' over and over."
I started singing and in a split second Edward (Who wasn't wearing earmuffs) and Andrew were at my feet with 2 diet Pepsis.
"That proves it," Carlisle said taking his ear muffs off. "She is a siren!"
"What's a siren?" I asked quizzically. After 2 minutes of complete silence I went off. "God damnit if someone doesn't tell me what a siren is right now…" I was cut off by someone rubbing my shoulder, a calming relaxing sensation went through me. It wasn't the cool calm hands of a vampire I had expected; it was Andrews's hand that made its way down my arm and then intertwining its fingers with mine. "Jasper please don't try to calm me down."
"That wasn't me." He said as though he was on trial.
I immediately looked at Andrew and my blood started pulsing faster as my cheeks turned from pink to red. And that's when I blacked out.
