I went downstairs to find nobody there, I looked round until I found Irina sitting in the garden.
"hay," she greeted me cheerfully.
"hi, where are the others?" I asked
"hunting, Tanya hasn't had a chance to hunt for a while so the others went with her, I went on a hunting trip only a few days ago, so I offered to stay in case you woke up, and you did!"
"I don't sleep much"
"the vamp in you?"
"must be."
She smiled,
"Irina, is there somewhere near to hunt, like five minutes away? I just want to know,"
Irina looked surprised, "you hunt?"
"yes, most of the time, but I do also eat. its strange, I know"
Irina looked perplexed. I smiled.
"I know, I'm a huge puzzle to everyone I meet, poor them! I most probably will break their brains!"
Irina laughed, and looked at my wrist, "pretty bracelet, but, a werewolf?"
I grimaced, I would tell Irina nearly everything but not all, because if I told her my best friend was one of the wolves who shredded her Laurent, I would seriously find myself not welcome here, by Irina at any rate.
"I used to know one,"
"so why do you ware that charm on your wrist?" Irina looked discusted.
I grimaced.
"it was a graduation present."
"I don't know how you can like those monsters, they killed the vampire I loved!" she griped.
"Laurent, I know, but wasn't he going to kill a human? With wolves sworn to protect humans near?"
Irina looked shocked that I knew this, "how do you know that? All I know was that he was killed by them, not that he was about to kill a human? Was he?"
I leaned on the wall of the garden and hung my head, "yeh, he was about to kill a human, a girl in the woods, who was in a meadow she had seen before and wanted to find again." Irina looked shocked.
"how do you know so much?" her eyes where confused.
"I know so much Irina," I lifted my head to meet her eyes "because that girl… she was me."
Irina was totally caught off guard by that one. I quickly explained.
"he was about to bite me, he was, his eyes were also red, so he had already been eating humans. The wolf that knew me wouldn't let me die, I'm so sorry for this all Irina, but please, please, please forgive me. I don't want you to hate me Irina, but he was going to eat me!"
Irina deliberated with a serious face.
"if he was going to kill you… I suppose it was fair, Bella, I wont hate you, just the wolves! And I'm sure you can understand that much!" she grinned at me.
What a relief that was! I was scared of Irina thing me with a fiery vengeance! Well not so much. I smiled at Irina, who smiled back and said,
"I am glad though, that he didn't kill you, I thing you will fit in well with this vampire crowd! freak"
I giggled.
"that's "miss vampire-witch freak" to you!" I managed to splutter.
We were both in hysterics when Tanya and Carmen came out to the garden, back from their hunting trip.
"wow, I haven't see you laugh for a while Irina! Are you alright? You must be dyeing!" Carmen said sympathetically.
Irina rolled her eyes,
"no, you wish, Carm, you wish"
" I don't wish!" Carmen looked insulted, "I do!"
Carmen quickly pounced on Irina who neatly dodged her attack, I was reminded of the time Edward and jasper play fought, and when the new-born vampire army was about to kill me. Good times…
I must be crazy, referring to nearly being killed by an army of vampires as good times just about proved that I was mentally unstable and just about to lose it, if I hadn't already.
I left the rest of the vampires fighting in the yard and went up to my room, sitting on the balcony edge again with my flute, I could see Carman and Irina in the garden, still sparing, being egged on by Kate and Eleazar. Tanya just watched laughing every now and again.
I put the flute to my lips and started playing, everyone in the garden looked my way listening to the music. I heard Eleazar mutter to Carmen,
"she's brilliant at playing… so beautiful." he said his voice full of awe. He hummed along.
"I know, what is that music?" Carmen whispered.
"a song that reminds her of her real home," Tanya said quietly
They all stopped talking and listened to the music, finally Kate spoke, they must have thought that I couldn't hear them,
"she must really miss them,"
"more than we can know," Tanya said.
They carried on listening to me play the lullaby, tears welled in my eyes.
