Bree.

I looked around, confused as the sound of rustling leaves moved further and further away. Something had been watching me, and I didn't like it.

My phone vibrated and I jumped out of my skin. That would've been the time for a heart attack, had I been human.

I don't suppose you fancy meeting up tomorrow? I could give you a tour around Forks ;-) El x

I bit my lip. What did I do? Was getting close to a human really the right thing to do? It would by nice to know someone at school... someone to spend time with that wasn't watching me like a hawk the whole time...

But he was a human. I could kill him.

Then again I hadn't felt the urge to rip his throat open when I had seen him in the shop. When did my imagination become so vivid?

My phone began to ring, so I quickly answered it.

"Hello?"

"Say yes."

"What? Alice?" I frowned in confusion.

"Say yes to going out with Elliot tomorrow." I could almost hear her smile as she said it.

"How did you..? Oh wait. Visions."

"Just say yes pleeeease!" She whined. "It'd be nice to know someone other than just us around here. You won't hurt him, I know you won't."

"But what if-"

"Nothing bad will happen. You two really hit it off. Sheesh, relax would you? I didn't think we could be so tense!" She sighed.

"Fine." I mumbled.

"Text him back now. Say you'll meet him by the diner after lunch."

"Yes mom."

"Bye!" She sang hanging up on me.

I sighed and returned to the text.

I'll meet you at the diner at 2pm, after lunch? B x

Sure! El x

I just hoped Alice was right...

She was there when I got home, of course. Sitting in the living room, trying out different hairstyles on Bella.

"Edward's gone hunting." She smiled at me as I sat down opposite them.

"Which means I've been kidnapped." Bella sighed, rolling her eyes. She frowned. "Alice, what are you doing?"

"Trying out wedding hairstyles." Her smile widened as Bella shuddered.

"Can I please just wear it down? Seriously, do we have to do this?"

"It's in three weeks, Bella! So yes, we do!"

I laughed and stood up. "I'll leave you to it..."

"You're not going anywhere." Alice appeared in front of me and Bella sighed with relief, now she was free.

"Erm... why?"

"We need to plan everything for your date tomorrow."

"Oh?" Bella raised an eyebrow. "You've been here just over a week and you've already got a date?"

"It's not a date." I shook my head in protest.

"Hmmm you tell him that." Alice grinned. "Right, so what are you wearing?"

"Nothing. I am going naked. Goodnight." And I shot up the stairs, locking my bedroom door before any intruding little psychics could come in. Boy, was she work sometimes.

I found it nice lying with my eyes closed, curled up under my duvet in pyjamas. I was relaxed, even if I wasn't sleeping. I laid there and let all my thoughts pour through me. And when I opened my eyes, as the banging on my door started again, I almost felt refreshed again.

"I know you're not asleep, Bree, so open the door and let me in!" Alice sung, clearly excited I was going out today.

"Ugh Alice, it's only noon." I replied.

"And you need to get ready, whether you like it or not! Don't make me come through the window."

I sighed and unlocked the door, before falling back on my bed.

She immediately went over to one of my wardrobes and began searching through it, trying to find me an outfit.

"You know, I was serious about going naked." I told her crossing my legs.

She turned to face me and glared. "You're as bad as Bella Swan, Bree Cullen."

One and a half hours later, Alice had me in skinny jeans, boots, a pale blue ruffled-lace tank top and a hooded black leather jacket, to protect me from the forecasted rain.

My hair was in its usual loose curls, and she'd put a little mascara on me, as apparently I still looked gorgeous without it.

"Done!" She sung.

"How on earth did it take so long?" I asked her.

"Just look in the mirror and see what you think."

I looked and smiled slightly. I really looked like a Cullen now. I was stylish, and I looked quite pretty. My eyes shone bright amber today too, from feeding an hour before.

"I look great, thanks Alice."

"Wait, you're missing something." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a short silver chain. On it was a dainty Cullen Crest. Everyone had one. Mine was slightly bigger than Alice's charm, yet smaller than Rosalie's.

She slipped it on around my neck. "You are officially a Cullen."

"Thank you." I smiled, sure that if I could cry, I would've been right now. For the first time since Riley found me, I felt as if I belonged.

"Now come on, I'll drive you to the diner!" She practically pulled me down the stairs.

"Have fun!" Esme and Carlisle called after me. Rosalie just frowned, arms folded.

"Are you scared?" Alice asked me as we pulled out of the long, winding driveway. This was only the second time I would've passed through the town.

"I might... hurt him." I bit my lip, anxious again.

"You won't. I've seen the whole date. It goes really well and he drives you home." She -smiled.

"Rosalie isn't happy."

"She's never happy." Alice rolled her eyes. "She hates us being around humans, but Bella and Edward have proven it can work, so there's no issue at all." She slowed the fancy yellow car down. "Here we are."

I sucked in a deep breath, remembering this was the time to start pretending to breathe again.

"There he is." Alice nodded towards the blonde boy, leant against a black volkswagen, whistling to himself. "Good luck!"

I slipped off my seatbelt and got out of the car. "I'll call you for a lift back. Or I'll walk."

"Won't need to." She winked and sped off.

The noise caught Elliot's attention and he immediately looked up and waved at me. He hurried towards me and pulled me into a hug.

"Hey, you came!"

"Yes, I did." I replied as he released me. I twitched my nose, and surprisingly, I couldn't smell his blood, or notice his heartbeat.

"So where would you like to start?"

"Hey, I'm new, so you tell me." I laughed and off we set, around the town.

Hanging out with him wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be. In fact, staring at his lips was because I really wanted to kiss him, not eat him. I mentally slapped myself and looked back into his bright green eyes.

That was when I noticed something different to the other day. He was paler. And there was no heat coming off his body. He wasn't...was he?
