The air suddenly grew heavy with tension and the underlying question that everyone was asking, why did I smell like a pack of werewolves?

Of course in my frantic escape from Emily I had never considered the idea that they could smell me, thus knowing where I came from. It was a stupid move on my part, the whole idea was stupid. I should've stayed where I was and not let a woman who couldn't touch me, drag me into a mess.

"I can explain." I stated lamely.

I was at the point in this whole mess where I actually considered telling them everything. Sure they would probably think I was crazy but looking around, it was my only option.

"Now Jacob, I think we should hear her out." Carlisle intervened, seemingly coming from nowhere but of course I knew better. They just didn't know that I did.

Jacob gave a growl of annoyance but it soon dissipated as Renesmee laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Well now, why don't we go sit and discuss what it is you came here for?"

Luckily Carlisle was ever the diplomatic one or else I may have already been disposed of.

I followed the coven leader through the well-built home, coming to awkwardly stand in what was considered the living room where the rest of the Cullen clan sat waiting.

I was so screwed.

Why had I listened to Stephanie again?

Oh yeah that's right because I'm a moron with a death wish and no sense of self preservation.

"Have a seat." Esme said in a motherly tone, one that in no way shape or form resembled my mothers. It was an odd thought. I really hadn't missed my mom since I had fallen into this world but something in Esme's tone made me wish I was one of her children just so I could hear that caring sound every day.

Ultimately I did as she asked even if my comfort level was way below normal.

"I suppose the first question you want answered is why I am here, correct?" I said in my most polite tone.

Carlisle nodded.

I sighed.

"I just don't think you are going to believe me." I whispered dejectedly.

I hadn't even told the wolves the reason I was here, why would I tell the vampires?

Why would I keep the truth from the ones who came to trust me?

I really was messed up in the head.

Then an idea struck, "Could we possibly call the w-Sam up here so I can tell you all at once. I've been staying with them and it's only right they know as well."

Technically I was still doing as Stephanie asked but clearing my conscious as well.

"And why would we do that?" Jake cut in.

He was angry and rightly so, I had almost said wolves, a mistake anyone with ears could have caught onto.

"Because I was told to meet up with the Cullen's and ditched Emily at the store. I feel horrible but I don't know what would have been done if I didn't abide." It was the truth, there wasn't anything Stephanie could do to me but I still had family and whether I missed them or not, I wouldn't put them in danger.

"Plus I wanted to meet them." I admitted guiltily.

I couldn't place all the blame on that wretched woman, I was the one who actually listened and left.

"It's all I ask then I will tell you anything you want to know."

Carlisle seemed to think it over, as he was getting ready to answer, Edward and Bella walked in, hands joined.

I watched in fear as Edward tilted his head to the side as if attempting to read my mind.

A wrinkle marred his smooth porcelain skin, "Who are you?" He asked suspiciously.

"My name is Cassandra Gray." I replied nervously.

That was the only thing that was said to me by Edward.

While Carlisle left to call the wolves, Edward stared at me, and then would whisper something to Bella. Then continue his staring, like somehow something would be revealed to him if he stared hard enough.

Soon enough Sam showed up with a very pissed looking Paul right next to him.

My head shot down, not wanting to see the disappointment that was written all over their faces. I had betrayed them, I had betrayed him.

"So we're all here, spit it out." Jake sneered.

I flinched a little at his tone causing Paul to growl.

"Ok, here we go. I am not from this dimension. A woman named Stephanie Meyer sucked me in through some magical mirror and I ended up here. But that's not all. She can watch us through it and she made a book of Bella and Edwards's story, that's how I know who and what you all are." I looked around the room gauging everyone's reaction.

"Sam I'm so sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I just, I was scared." I admitted.

He just held his hand up; shaking his head and hot tears sprang forth.

"Well that is a lot to take in." Carlisle said, breaking the eerie silence that followed my confession.

"Yeah, almost unbelievable." Jake added skeptically. Renesmee gave him an elbow to the ribs, silencing any further remarks.

I forced the tears to stop as my sadness morphed into annoyance.

"You want proof, how about the ballet studio or the woods or the meadow where Edward took Bella after showing her his glitter affect. Or we could talk about what happened in the tent the night before Vitoria attacked with her newborn army. Would you like me to get more personal or should that suffice?" I asked with a huff of annoyance.

I knew they wouldn't believe me and that the assholishness that Jake was pulling was just him but I was confused and lonely and left without a clue to what my place in life would be now that I was stuck in this new world.

They entire room went still and every face in the room showed the complete shock at my brief retelling of the last two years.

The first one to speak up surprisingly was Edward, "What are you?"

Really of all the stupid questions he could've asked, what am I?

"Uh…human, what else." I replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, well it should've been.

"No, you're like Bella." He stated, I still didn't understand what he meant.

"Excuse me?"

"I can't read your mind." He put simply.

He couldn't what?

My mind was safe from his intrusion, how in the hell was that possible?

Now it was my turn to look shocked.

"How is that possible? I mean there is nothing special about me, I promise you that. All I am good at is reading, I swear. Mind blocking isn't on my list of abilities." I rambled, my thoughts running quicker out of my mouth than they could be formed.

Then it suddenly all broke, the damn of emotions that had been bottled up since my arrival in Forks, as I fell to my knees and started to cry. Tears flowed out of my eyes like mini waterfalls and my throat burned from keeping in the cries that so desperately wished to escape.

"I-I can n-never go h-home." And with that one sentence the lump in my throat dislodged and a scream broke through.

I didn't care that everyone was watching or that some of them were complete strangers, I just couldn't hold in the anger and sadness I was feeling any longer.

A/N. So here it is. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to set her up with Paul for good or not. R&R and I hope you enjoyed.
