It took them no time to decide that I needed to go train today. So, I went upstairs and changed into a black one shouldered long sleeve shirt, jeans, and vans. I grabbed some sunglasses and pulled my hair up into a high bun.

On the way to wherever they were taking me, I was able to check their appearance more than I did before.

Justin was probably almost six foot. His black hair was spiked slightly in the front, his dark brown eyes reminded me of dark chocolate. Oddly, his skin tone was paler than mine. He had a good amount of muscle but, not as much as Jacob.

Rachel's hair was almost the same color as mine but, there was some brown highlights in them. It was wavy and cut off at her shoulders. Her eyes were the same dark ocean blue as mine. Unlike Justin, her skin tone was a slight tan. She was slimmer than me, but had small curves.

Justin drove us to a clearing somewhere in the Forks forest. Now, we all stood in the middle. They were asking me questions.

"Have you had any experience fighting before?"

I nodded. "I used to get into fights a lot during high school. I still do know how to defend myself."

Rachel nodded. "Good. Just remember how you did it before. We'll help you see how much your strength and speed has changed."

I quickly realized that Justin was charging at me. Somehow, I was able to grab his shoulder and toss him aside. "Whoa."

"Not bad." Rachel nodded with a small smile.

Justin stood up while dusting himself off. "It's a start. Now, if I was a vampire, I would have had you dead already."

"Okay," I shrugged. "what should I had done instead?"

"Extended your leg and pushed them far away from you. Last thing you want is for them to get their hand around your neck. They could easily break it and you'd be dead."

"C'mon Justin, she's knew at this. Be nicer." Rachel moved beside me. "You could also could of knocked them off of their feet and jump on top of them. Then break their neck. We'll show you how to do that after we get your strength and speed under control."

We were out there for hours. Justin or Rachel constantly charging at me and me blocking them. It was tiring. So, when I finally arrived home around three, I ended up laying on the couch (After putting my braces back on) and fell asleep for a while. I woke up an hour later from my phone beeping from a text.

Jacob: Hey, I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime today?

I sighed wishing that I really could but sadly, it wasn't safe. Sorry, can't right now. Maybe another day?

It didn't take him long to reply. Yeah, sure. That's cool. I hope you're feeling better.

Surprisingly, it didn't take me much longer to fall back asleep. I assume that Bella was off with Edward and dad was working late. I really didn't mind either at the moment.


I woke up laying in the lawn of the house I grew up in that was in Tennessee. It was pitch dark outside and the grass was wet with dew. My eyes gazed around the yard wondering why I was even out here. I slowly stood up and looked around once more. After patting my pockets, I found my house keys in my back pocket.

For some reason, my hands were shaking so badly that I was having a hard time keeping a grip on the keys. I dropped them multiple times until I was finally able to open the door.

As I walked inside, it was much too quiet. Mom always left a the TV or radio on when she was alone. It made her feel like she wasn't alone.

Feeling even more confused, I started to walk to the kitchen.

"Mom?" I looked around the empty house while I walked through the living room. "Are you here? Sorry I'm late, I had to help prep food for tomorrow. Ma-" I froze at the scene in front of me.

Something very un-human held my mother in her grip.

Mom's lips quivered like she was trying to speak but, no words came out. Only blood. Her usually blue eyes were a dark brown. Before I could take a step closer, a loud snap sounded through the house as that monster broke mom's neck like it was nothing.

It didn't take her long to just toss my dead mother side as I watched in horror. My mind was screaming at me to run. Run and never look back. But, my legs were frozen.

The murderess walked toward me with a smile on her lips. Her fiery red hair made her seem even more dangerous. What really scared me were her blood red eyes. They stood out so much against her snow white skin.

Before I could realize anything happened, I was laying on the floor and she was leaning over me.

"I'll let you live for now." Her smile only grew. "I have a feeling you'll come in handy one day, pup."

My eyes flew open as shot up into a sitting position. Breathing was much too fast along with my heart rate. I despised having those reruns of nightmares. They always came when I less expected them. I placed my head in my hands and tried to calm my breathing down.

Before I could fully get myself together, someone was banging on the door like a mad man.

"I'm coming! Just give me a second!" I yelled feeling frustrated.

As I got up quickly and started to walk to the door, I remembered how I need to limp. That's going to be rough. Hopefully, no one notices anything. When I swung the door open, I found Jacob.

"Uh, I know you said we'd hang out soon. I was just worried and I'm not sure why."

I blinked in confusion. Something weird just happened. I've liked Jacob's company before but, not like this. I just saw his face and everything that was running through my head just.. stopped. It didn't matter anymore.
