I just stood there, completely confused.
"What does this have to do with me?" I asked, my perfect voice straining. "You, you don't think…" I sniffed nervously, catching a trace of campfire far off in the woods. "Maybe it's not so far off…" I thought aloud. I picked up the dirt clod and noticed red lace. "The baseball…" It was charred and ripped in half, as if it had internally combusted. "You think I did this," I said, pointing to the baseball, "with this." I pointed to my head. "You're crazy. You are all insane. You think this is real? This, vampire nonsense? You actually believe this? Lunatics. Great. I have dreamt up a band of lunatics. That is what this whole thing really is. Some random dream that the morphine gave me. If you don't mind, I am going to go hide from you freaks while I wait to wake up." I took off into the forest, faster than before. I sat down miles away from the field, no idea where I was. I started crying without tears. I curled into a tight ball and brushed golden curls out of my face. I heard howling in the distance and the crackling of fire. Suddenly, the area around me became hot. I looked up and into flames. I felt my hand start to burn. I looked and saw that it was black. I jumped up and saw the flames traveling up the trees.
"Help! Help me!" I screamed, hoping one of the vampires would here me. "Help! Help!" Suddenly the reddish blonde one ran up. His golden eyes grew wide.
"Carlisle!" He dashed back into the forest and came back with his father.
"Ok, Edward, go get the rest of the family. I'll see what I can do here." He nervously walked closer to the fire.
"Ow." I said, cradling my hand.
"Oh no." Carlisle turned around. As the fire got bigger, he examined my hand. Edward dashed in, still with huge eyes, with Alice and the rest.
"I need you to take care of this while I try and help Leslie." They reluctantly crept towards the flames as Carlisle whisked me off into the trees. I closed my eyes to try and relieve the pain.
"Why is this happening?" I asked through gritted teeth while caressing my charred hand.
"Fire is the only thing that can hurt a vampire. In fact, the only way to kill a vampire is by burning it."
A/N: Sorry about the long wait… won't be this long next time! Thanks for reading. I might set up a blog where I can publish my other stories chapter by chapter. Review! ~Lisa
