Chapter 10 Interrogations
"So, how did you become a vampire?" was the question he decided to ask. I really felt uncomfortable telling this to him, but dang it he kept looking at me with those huge, beautiful brown eyes. Damn it! How could I explain something I want to know myself? Oh well, I guess I'll just tell him the truth. If it can be enough to be called the truth.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not so sure myself. It's practically all a blur to me. The last thing I remember is laying on the ground, in the biggest pain I've ever had on my neck, staring at this woman with fire reddish hair."
"So, you mean you can't remember anything before that?"
"Only a little. Now and then something will come back to me."
"Tell me, what do you remember recently?"
"I remember sitting in a park watching the ducks swim by. I felt upset for some reason. I had no idea where I was, but I kept telling myself I wouldn't go back. To where? I don't know."
"Is that all?"
"Yes, for know."
"Wow, that sounds tough."
"Okay, my turn. Why did you come to forks high?"
"Cause my dad made me. He said that I had way too much potential and brains to get a scholarship and go to college. That way I could continue the family line of 'mechanics'. Also because my friends and I spent way too much time causing trouble. Like this one time, we 'overheard' that there was going to be an assembly in the gym for the football players and they were going to drop balloons. So when no one was looking we changed the air balloons with water balloons and dyed the footballers' uniforms pink."
"Nice."
"Yeah, we became legends afterwards."
"So do you want to be a mechanic?"
"Hey isn't it my turn to ask?"
"Yeah, but you can ask me two questions afterwards."
"Sounds fair. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to become a mechanic. I want to be poet and have my poems published for the world to read."
"Really? You don't seem like the poet type when I met you."
"What type did I seem like when you first saw me then?"
"You seemed more like the macho-air head, I'm too cool for school type."
"I did? Well I guess my plan worked after all."
"Haha very funny. You do know that you've used up one of your questions, right?"
"Yeah. So here is my next question."
"Shoot."
"How did you and your friends meet?"
"It was about a year ago, that I met Jo. Sorry her name is actually Josephine I'm just used to calling her Jo."
"Okay go on."
"Okay, I was already with the Cullens by that time, I was on the hunt, with all my family, when I ran into her. It was a total accident though. We actually chasing the same prey. When it got away, We controlled ourselves enough to talk to each other. She introduced me and the Cullens to her family as did we. We've been friends ever since. Valerie was the most recent person to join our little gang. We met her about six months ago. I invited Jo to come play baseball with my family and me. Of coarse, her being Jo accepted my invitation eagerly. In the middle of the game, a coven, but it seemed more like a family since it was only Val and her parents, came in wanting to play also. Val didn't want to, so Jo and I sat next to her on the benches. Strangely she was very shy around us. Our guess was that she's never been around any other vampires other than her parents. After we got her talking, she quickly became one of us and we hung out together. The even better part was all of our families became great friends also. And so we've been friends ever since."
"Cool. So you all met by accident?"
"Yep. Now let me ask you a question?"
"Spill."
"Tell me one of your poems."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
"Fine, but I'm still working on it okay? So don't laugh."
"I won't. Now tell me!"
"Here it goes. It's called Following.
I live in a world where people pretend to be something they're not,
Where everyone follows each other and copy something they saw.
Follow the crowd or follow yourself, I choose neither.
For I don't ever follow but lead,
which is the one thing that is my own desire."
"That was really good."
"You think so?"
"Totally. See you can write poetry I can only read it."
"You can't write poetry? And I thought you were perfect."
"Perfect. I hate that word! If I'm so perfect why do I feel so limited? I mean there is so much more I can do but can't cause of this stupid curse of being a vampire for all eternity."
"At least you can keep your cool easy. Since I'm a werewolf I have to be extra careful around people to try not to get angry or else innocent people would be hurt all because of me."
"I guess your right. Hehe here we are pitying ourselves like big babies."
"Your right. Lets agree to never pity ourselves unless it's absolutely necessary, deal?"
" Deal."
"Eli, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"What do you hunt?"
"Animals. But only in places that are over populated and need to be brought down."
"Which animal?"
"Coyotes."
There was a long pause of silence and I had to go cause it was getting late.
"Um Shawn, I have to go now cause it's getting late and my parents don't know I left, Okay?"
"Oh..um okay. See you at school."
"Sure. See ya."
Author's Note : Please R&R me everyone. I hope you like this chapter and got most of the information that you need. Oh and the person that changed Eli isn't the mystery character I was talking about. But just wait til the next chapter when Eli and Shawn decided to do something in front of everyone at school.
