Chapter 6

CAPOV

What are you?

This question shocked me more than anything else. She looked determined to have her question answered. I sighed and sat in the chair beside her. She just stared at me, unable to say anything. She kept the board help up, reminding me of the question that I felt I absolutely had to answer.

This girl was interesting; more so than Bella was those thirty odd years ago. Edward could still read her thoughts, but he couldn't understand any of it. Alice has been having visions of her being hurt by the one person who was suppose to take care of her. She didn't show any emotions on her face - a mask that must have taken years to perfect. She stared at me, though not really seeing, with confidant eyes. Jasper had told me about her emotions. They were all negative - anger, sadness, pain, feeling like she's unloved and not wanted. It all made me want to hug her, just to comfort her. She certainly deserved at least that.

"I'll only tell her," I whispered to her after a moment, "if you tell me about your uncle."

She sighed and started to write.

I was living in Saskatchewan when my parents got into a car crash and died. I was ten at the time. I was sent to live with my uncle here, since he's my only living relative. He seemed nice at the beginning. He bought me stuff and spoiled me for about a month. Then, for some unknown reason, he started to hate me. It wasn't very bad in the beginning, only insulting me and verbally hurting me. That lasted for about two years. When I turned twelve, he started to hit me. It got worse two years ago, when I started high school. Now, he would beat me into unconsciousness, which sometimes resulted in me missing school.

She stopped writing and let me read the board. I knew that my face showed sympathy and compassion for her. She was an abuse victim, but the way she was, you wouldn't know it.

"Uhm, Miss Grey," I said when I finished reading, "has your uncle ever… raped you?" I had struggled to say this, and I hoped that it wasn't true.

She sighed and started to write again.

No. He always thought I was too disgusting to do that with.

I sighed in relief.

It's your turn.

I felt slightly frustrated at this girl's persistence. I knew she would become friends with my "children", so I decided to tell her the truth.

"Allya," I started, gazing at her intently. "Do you believe in vampires?"

She stared at me curiously. I could see her thinking this whole thing through. Then, her eyes lit up.

That explains a lot… Your whole family are vampires.

That made me chuckle. I had an urge to say a sarcastic remark, but I held back. Then I realized something. She wasn't panicking about this revelation. She saw this, and started writing.

I'm not freaking out. I have no reason to judge your family without actually getting to know them. That would be cruel.

I sighed. "You and Bella have a lot in common."

She gave me a look, as if asking if that was a good or a bad thing. I just shook my head and decided to change the subject. "I want to check your lung to see if it's ready to breathe on its own, with out the tube. Your throat will feel raw for a little, but that's normal."

I checked over her whole body, seeing how she was healing. Her lung was completely healed, faster than you would suspect a human to heal. I had taken out her breathing tube, and she seemed as good as new.

Suddenly, Allya began to talk again.

"Uhm, Doctor Cullen," she started, but I interrupted her.

"Please, call me Carlisle."

"Okay," she said, restarting. "Carlisle, I wanted to talk to you about something. You know, about how to change someone into a vampire."

I froze. This was the last thing that I expected to hear come out of her mouth. I never enjoyed watching the process of one of my children turning into what they were today, and I was hoping to never experience it again.

"Well, I just wanted to say," she continued slowly, "that if anything happened to me-"

"I'm not going to change you, Allya," I said in a low whisper. She just smiled.

"I wasn't going to ask," she replied. "Actually, I was going to ask you to not change me."

This shocked me. I have never met anyone who wouldn't become a vampire if they had a choice. Her choice was to die.

"Why would you ask that?" this girl was very interesting indeed.

She thought for a bit. "Ever since I was ten, my fear of death has disappeared. I don't think I could live for all of eternity. Though I wouldn't mind staying with your family, I can't stand just existing."

I looked at her with understanding eyes.

"Plus, I found my meaning in life," she said, more to herself then to me. She smiled slightly, getting lost in a memory. I didn't push her to tell me what she meant.

"Well, you have a visitor," I said suddenly with a smile. "I'll send him in."

I left, and Emmett went into the room holding a bouquet of white lilies.

AN: Sigghhhh. chapter six is finito! Hope you liked. :
