Okay, due to the 'tremendous' amount of people who think she has too many gifts, I will give you a little insight about her powers and what will happen with them.
... Alright, I'll just say it.... She will eventually lose some of them, and have to cope with it. How? You're going to have to read and find out!!! =P
Oh yeah! Thanks SOOO much for even giving my story a chance!!!!!! If you'd like to suggest some things then tell me and I assure you I will fix it.
Chapter 7- Existence
As we raced down the road, not bothering to go the speed limit, my eyes scanned the trees. At one point in time I could have sworn I saw a rather large animal quickly cross behind us. It had almost looked like a.... No. The Cullen's wouldn't be here if there were....
Pushing away any suspicions, I stepped on the gas. The huge pimped out Red Jeep was nothing compared to my Lamborghini , but I was still surprised when Emmett's ride reached 150mph.- even though that was just a cruise for me.
My smooth riding Lambo. slid up beside the Cullen's. Ummm..... My mind froze. It was stupid of me to have done that. Emmett was driving, his eyes gazing up at the sky as he gently held the steering wheel. I couldn't help myself from staring.... His muscles were bunched up perfectly, showing how their cords pulled to direct the steering wheel. His face was, for once, somber, and his eyes were a warm honey gold and....
Looking right at me! He flashed a perfect dimpled smile and raised his hand at me, waving. I looked away, thankful that I couldn't blush unless I altered my appearance.... But sometimes the things I altered could change colors according to my mood.... Please don't turn colors!!! Please don't change colors!!! I prayed. I knew it was hopeless, because as I focused my gaze back on the road, my car was a bright beet red. The color my face would be right now if I were human. I sighed and slid down further into my seat, riding out the waves of embarrassment as the car slowly faded back to its original color. 'Smooth.' I chastised myself.
I glanced at the speedometer and noted that we were approaching 160mph. I sped up, going 195mph. I glanced down at the speedometer. The fastest I could go so far was 375mph, so I just kept it at 200 and pulled over when I was far enough ahead. I rummaged around in the back seat and found that blank paper from the office, quickly changing it into a purple slide cell phone, with a touch screen and a keyboard. I had left my other phone in California with the rest of my possessions, but had talked to the phone company and requested that they link my old plan to this one. I texted the company to confirm that it was indeed active so they could turn it on.
I opened the text screen again and typed the name 'Jazmin'. Jazmin was a vampire, but she was one of my best friends. Even though she hunted humans, she knew how to behave. I thought of her red hair and how much I missed her. 'I made it! Don't tell anyone where I am, though! I trust you, J.!!!! Love ya! :) 3
I pressed send. I heard and engine rumbling in the distance and knew they were only about a mile behind me and were approaching rapidly. I hastily put my phone away and situated myself to drive again.
The Cullen's were suddenly there. "What's the matter? Car trouble?" I heard Emmett's teasing voice through the car as he slowed down only by a few miles per hour, still flying down the road. I revved my engine.
"Nope! Just waiting for you...." The words sounded all right, but there was a double meaning to them, and I prayed that he wouldn't figure that out. I would wait for him, though. I would wait for him as long as it took.
Was it weird that I didn't even know him yet?
I shook it off. No. I would not jeopardize Rosalie and Emmett's relationship like that. They would soon be my family. I sped up, staying behind them this time instead of trying my luck and gawking at Emmett. We turned into their long road that led to their house. It was full of turns, but that didn't mean we would slow down any.
In a matter of seconds we were parked in their driveway as the sun began to break through the clouds. My butterfly doors slid up, and I stepped out of the car, adjusting my skirt and long sleeved shirt. My shiny purple stilettos matched perfectly, and clicked against the pavement as I stepped out, puling down the door behind me. Briefly, I felt too....fancy. But then Rosalie got out of the Jeep and I instantly felt better.
She was wearing grey skinny jeans, cream, silver, and gold bangles, silver stilettos, and a white ruffled blouse with a cream blazer over it. Her necklace with the Cullen Crest matched perfectly with her earrings, that hung daintily from her ears. I would have to go shopping with her.
Suddenly, Alice rushed over to me, pouncing on me with a hug. "OHMYGOODNESS! I have SO much planned for us!!! I just saw-!" Alice gushed out before Jasper managed to pry her off of me.
"Let her breathe, Alice. She's just gotten here. She must be nervous about all of this." Jasper said reasoning with her, but his eyes showed more. There was love and humor suppressed in them. I was glad she had someone to care for her and someone to care for him. I was fine with Alice's forwardness. It made me feel less hyper. I guess I hadn't really thought about just how nervous I was until now. I nodded my head, suddenly feeling light headed.
Rosalie and Emmett had ghosted up behind them also, followed by Edward who had taken up a solitary stance without Bella beside him. I suddenly felt awkward. Outnumbered. I shifted my foot uncomfortably, even though I had no need to. Where was this insecurity coming from? I had been 'alive' for centuries and never backed down from anything- anyone.
"Well, let's show her around." Rosalie said, surprisingly. I'm sure my eyes popped open at her hospitality, even though there was still a hesitant cold undertone to her voice. At least she seemed willing to accept me.
The Cullen's turned away heading to there home. I walked behind them, which would have been okay if Emmett and Rosalie weren't in front of me. I watched Emmett whisper in her ear and place his arm around her waist as we walked up their driveway and into the house.
Right before I reached the door, I could have sworn I saw a flash of red. It was far to bright to be Jazmin, who didn't even know my exact location. I paused turning around, my nails growing into long diamond hard ones that would shred anything in my path.
Then, someone was touching my shoulder. I spun around, flustered, not expecting to see Alice, who came up to maybe my nose. I had never realized how short I was. I guess my personality had made me seem bigger than I was.
"What is it?" She asked, trying to peer over my shoulder.
I laughed as she stood on her tiptoes, becoming almost as tall as me. "Nothing. It's just.... The trees are really beautiful when the light shines on them like that. I guess I've never noticed before." I said. And I hadn't. My past had been filled with pain, horror, and blood- my blood. My creation. My problems. My existence.
