HPOV

I didn't want to exist, I didn't want to be. I wanted to disappear.

I could barely register the voices as they floated through the atmosphere around me.

Someone screamed.

Footsteps pounded down the stairs.

"Where is she?" someone asked fearfully.

I couldn't comprehend what they meant by that.

"What the hell just happened?" I think it was Emmett who demanded.

I was in someone's steel arms.

"I can still feel her," Jasper said disbelievingly.

"Are you sure?" Carlisle asked, unsure.

"She's there, Carlisle, I can hear her thoughts," Edward spoke. "And I guess we found out if she had a gift."

I tried to speak, I really did, but I couldn't move my move. My sobs shook my body intensely as the shock wore off.

I felt the calming waves sweep over my being, but they passed over, there was just too much, too much pain, too much pain.

"Hazel, you need to reappear, please," Edward said firmly.

"No!" I screamed in my mind. "No no no!"

He flinched and I felt remorse for the chaos I must have been rooting in both Edward and Jasper, but I couldn't do anything about it.

There was silence for a few minutes as I sobbed, and the family just stood there, staring at the apparently empty place in Jasper's arms, listening to my chaotic breathing.

"Take her to her room, she wants to be alone," Edward finally spoke.

I could feel the movement as Jasper nodded his head and we swept up the staircase.

He set me down on the bed and left.

The pain overtook me.

A while later I was calmed down, laying under the unneeded covers of my unnecessary bed, listening to the conversation below me. They must not have realized I had been awake.

"How did she know him?" Rosalie asked.

Edward answered, "He was her classmate, and she apparently was…. In love with him."

I heard a few gasps.

Jasper confirmed, "The day that I turned her…. When we brought her back to the house she was feeling but among the emotions was…. Extreme love. As much as I feel from all of you, every day."

"The poor girl," Esme whispered solemnly.

"I think we should avoid pitying her or showing our sympathy, those are two emotions I can feel she strongly dislikes," Jasper said firmly.

Hesitant okays were spoken from the room below.

Just then I heard a firm knock at the door.

The guests had arrived.

I slid out of my covers and straightened my dress and usually quite unruly wavy blonde hair. At least my make-up isn't messed up, I thought bitterly to myself. No tears, after all.

I opened my door and found Alice there, waiting.

"The Denali clan is here." She said excitedly.

I nodded, smiling slightly and followed her down the spiral stairs.

There were six new faces in the living room, conversing with the Cullens.

Carlisle looked up and we approached the group.

He turned to the new ones and began to introduce them.

He started at the oldest man of the clan, "This is Eleazer. He can sense other vampire's powers." He smiled at me.

Carlisle moved on to the black haired women beside Eleazer, "This is Carmen, Eleazer's wife." She smiled warmly at me, and I couldn't help but return it. I felt as shy as when I was first meeting the Cullens, but then again I was never great at meeting new people.

Then it was a strawberry blonde girl, her beauty could be compared to that of Rosalie's, though you could never tell when everyone you lived with was so strikingly beautiful, even the men.

"Tanya," she told me, smiling.

Then it was a medium-height girl with small orange freckles dotting under her eyes. The man standing next to her had dark brown hair gathered in a short ponytail, he was also quite tall. For some reason he reminded me of Paul Revere. His eyes were dark gold, flecks of scarlet still barely visible. I could infer that he was somewhat new to this lifestyle, and had not always been a vegetarian. I wouldn't hold it against him though. Who am I to judge?

"I am Garrett, and this is my wife, Kate, her power is rather shocking," Everyone in the room except me laughed. "She can touch you and it will give you an electric sort of shcok." He spoke smiling widely, and kind of goofily. He reminded me of Emmett a little, though he was not quite as muscular.

Then Eleazer turned to the sixth new face, I had not really not even noticed him before. He stood in the background, in the shadows.

Eleazer spoke saying, "And this is Asher, our newest member."

I took one look at him and I couldn't look away. His head was bent before but he lifted it when he heard his name being mentioned. His eyes were a dark scarlet, similar to my own. His blonde hair was so white and tinted with gray that it was no wonder he was called Asher. It fell disarrayed around his forehead, dripping slightly into his eyes.

He was tall, probably about six foot. Almost a whole foot taller than me. He looked to be my age, although a little older. Probably around sixteen. He was thin, but not gangly, he was still also quite muscular. His face was slightly angular. His eyes were what grabbed ahold of me, they seemed full of hatred and pain. Whether it was directed at himself, the others in the room, me, or at someone or something else entirely, I was not sure.

He caught my eyes for a few more minutes before staring back down at the floor.

Carlisle spoke again, "This is Hazel, and as we just found out this morning, she has the power of – "

"Invisibility." Eleazer spoke for him. He seemed concerned though, and turned to me, saying, "You must watch your back young one, I'm sure the Volturi would be more than ecstatic to have someone of your power in their rankings."

I nodded solemnly. When I had first been turned the Cullens had informed me of the centuries old governing vampires. I had no intentions of meeting them anytime in the near future.

Then the blonde one named Kate spoke, "Do you know if Bella's shield can protect her, yet?"

"No, as we have only learned of her power hours before you arrived, we have not yet had the chance." Carlisle said.

Kate turned to me, smiling slightly. "Would you like to find out?"

Jasper growled at her, "I do not think that would be a wise way to find out, Kate."

He was becoming more like a protective brother and father to me every day. I usually didn't mind, unless he was protecting me from something I didn't want to miss out on.

"Oh come on, Jasper, it won't be that bad, I'll tone it down just in case." Kate spoke reassuringly. I trusted her though, even though I barely knew her. I knew she didn't want to hurt me.

"Let's try it, Kate," I said determinedly. In my human life I would have been at least a little apprehensive about something of this nature, but since I became immortal my confidence became strengthened.

I nodded to Bella and she stepped forward, her face solemn with concentration. I then stepped closer to Kate. She held her hand out. I reached mine forward and hesitated for a moment before grabbing her hand.

The shock ripped through me and I felt my body spasm. I crumpled to the floor, no longer being able to support myself.

I felt someone rush forward and quickly grab me in the arms before I could completely fall to the floor.

It was Asher.

He looked down at me, eyes unfeeling except for a slight hint of concern.

"Are you all right?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm fine," I said, slightly annoyed at his non-feeling expression and my own incapability of supporting myself.

I righted myself somewhat shakily and Kate began apologizing profusely.

"I am so sorry Hazel, I just wasn't expecting you to grab my hand like that."

"It's fine," I told her quickly before she could apologize any more. I smiled as widely as I could, "I'm fine, really."

She nodded, still hesitant.

Then Asher spoke, "I have to go."

We turned to him in surprise and watched as he sprinted out the door at an inhuman speed. Carmen's eyes followed him, clearly worried.

"He's gone to hunt, he'll be back soon, Carmen," Edward reassured her. She nodded, eyes still following Asher's retreating form.

"Excuse me for just a moment," I said. Everyone watched me, their faces still frozen in surprise, as I ran up the stairs to my room. I needed to think.

I scolded myself once I was safely in the comfort of my new room.

Of course he was attractive, what vampire wasn't.

He is very attractive…. My still heart told me, arguing with my head.

You just learned the boy you loved committed suicide just yesterday, you cannot be seriously falling in love with another boy. My head responded.

I wonder why he looked so upset…. My heart wondered thoughtfully. My question was answered when I tuned back into the conversation downstairs.

Esme spoke, "Is Asher all right, Eleazer?"

Eleazer sighed and spoke. "To tell you the truth Esme dear, no. He was repeatedly abused by his father after his mother's death when he was eight years of age. A couple of weeks ago his father shot him in the shoulder before taking his own life. It was by pure chance Carmen and me were walking near his house and smelt the enormous amount of blood. I didn't want him to die, he seemed like a good boy, he deserved a better life, or eternity as he has now." He sighed again before continuing. "A few days ago we found his power. He can control a being's body."

The room collectively gasped.

He continued saying, "He was absolutely horrified when I told him. He resents himself for his power, and is careful to be able to control it. If he feels an excess of emotion he can accidentally slip and control someone- human or vampire. He is still trying to come to terms with this news, so I apologize for his abrupt and somewhat rude behavior. I beg you forgive him simply because of the circumstances."

Solemn of courses rippled through the crowd gathered downstairs.

My heart ached for him. Though I could not empathize, I sympathized. My pain seemed trivial to his right then.

I heard the approaching footsteps from the back of the house. The back door slid open and greetings were said to Asher, who had returned. Only a second after I heard the doorbell. The other guests had arrived.

I got up from the bed determinedly. I was going to go down there and greet them, and once again face this Asher whom everyone was expecting me to fall in love with. I knew that the way things were going so far, I was betting on Alice.

Soo... I hope you liked this chapter and please review for me with your opinions and suggestions!! Thanks again so much for reading!! :D
