Chapter 9: New Member Part 2

Previously:

He kissed me on the cheek and whispered, "Welcome to the family."

He pulled back and looked me in the eyes again. It was like he was looking for something specific. He pulled himself together and took my hand. He led me downstairs to the sitting room? Is that what it's called? I don't know, I haven't been rich enough to ever have one.

It was cozy, not many seats; actually, there were only six spots. It was peach, like my bedroom. You could see a beautiful piano in the next room.

All of a sudden, a thousand memories flooded my mind. Flashes of me and Edward sitting at the piano, him playing my lullaby. I hadn't listened that since I found it under my floorboards one day when I tripped. I listened to the first note and broke out crying, that had been the only time I showed emotion in that one year. I apparently had a date with the floor, but before I could hit the floor, cold arms wrapped around my waist. More memories flooded my mind, ones of Edward catching me whenever I fell. He was my guardian angel who left me. This time it wasn't Edward's arms that saved me, it was Max's.

He picked me up and said, "That's the first time I have ever seen a vampire fall."

"There are a lot of weird things about her," Nicole piped in.

"Like what?" asked Rose.

"Well, she almost puked when she was drinking human blood. Then there is the fact that her body caught fire when she was mad. Oh, she also passed out when she saw Renee dead. She also changes her appearance, like when she was passed out; she was changing different colors, from yellow to blue to red. She knew that Ivory was confused just by looking into her eyes…" Nicole rattled on.

"She also isn't affected by powers," this time it was Trevor who spoke.

"What do you mean?" I was confused so I asked.

"My power is that I can see a person's memories by looking into there eyes. I tried to see your past to see if you were safe upstairs. You might have wondered why I was staring," he finished sort of sheepishly.

"Oh, well, now that I know Trevor's and my powers, what are yours?" I asked.

Rose spoke first, "My power is weather. I can control the weather."

Ivory spoke next, "I can make people do what I say. Watch," she said with a glint in her eyes. She turned to Max. He looked unhappy for being the guinea pig. "Max, go fight with Trevor over Iz."

Max got up and leaped at Trevor. "Get off of me, Max!" he yelled.

"She is mine!" Max shouted back.

"Ivory please tell Max to stop," Rose said with a bored expression on her face.

"Max, stop fighting and be normal, or as normal as YOU can be," Ivory said with a pout.

"My turn! My turn!" Nicole yelled.

"Go ahead Nicole," Kari said.

"My power is I can create pain in someone else's mind. They say I can be an evil child if I want, but I don't want to," Nicole said with a smile. (I love the fact that she can be like a babysitter's worse nightmare, Lolz!)

"Wow, I am glad I am immune to powers," I said with a shudder.

"Don't worry, I never hurt my family."

"That is good. So Kari, what is your power?" I inquired.

"Well, I am a green thumb sort of. I can control plants, not just growing, but dying to. I can make a tree attack you if I wanted to, well, it wouldn't attack you, but it could attack Max. Wanna see?" she asked with a playful smile. Max groaned.

"Nah, we can torture Max later," I said back.

"You're already acting like one of us!" Rose said, excitedly.

"Well, I am one of us, right?"

"Of course!"

"Great, I always wanted a family, now that Renee is gone…" That reminded me of Charlie, "Oh my God, Charlie!"

"Who is Charlie?" Kari asked, looking pointedly at Trevor.

"I told you, I can't tell." he said in response to her question.

"Nobody." I figured it would be best to not dwell on the past, and telling them would give them the option of bringing it up. They looked at each other and shrugged.

I almost forgot, "Max, what is your power?"

He gave me a grin and said, "Well, I can stop time. I think I got it because in my human life I was always thinking about time. I can travel through it and I can stop it with the exception of who ever I chose. You apparently will always be chosen." He grinned again.

"Well, I think we should talk about why you got so many powers," Rose said, the curiosity shining in her eyes.

"Well, I think I can blend in because for the most recent year, that's all I wanted to do. I think I hate human blood because in my human life I hated blood already. I could smell it and it was not pleasant. If I remember correctly, it smelled like rust and salt. When it comes to the fire and passing out, I think my emotions flare out because in the past year, like I said, I had no emotions. They were locked in a box. When I was human, mind powers of vampires already didn't work on me and now I think all powers don't work… Oh, and in that past year, since I had no emotions, I observed others emotions, so that explains the seeing emotions things…" I drifted off.

"Wait, you knew vampires when you were human?" asked Rose.

"What happened to cut yourself off from others and be unemotional?" Nicole asked.

"Yes, I was very close with a coven and I was in love with one of the vampires. He broke my heart and told me I wasn't 'good for him'," I said, putting quotation marks around 'good for him'.

"Oh, I am sorry, we shouldn't have brought it up," Kari said.

"It's okay, I need to move on."

"So, you want to see the rest of the house?" Rose asked.

"Sure." I nodded.

Rose led me around the house pointing out different rooms. Trevor and her are on the second floor. Their room is big and had hardwood and another peach colored room. It had a rug in front of the bed. It had bedside tables going around the bed like a U shape. One side of the wall had brick on it. Profile.

Also on the second floor was Kari's room. It was yellow colored paint and it had a queen bed. It also had a slanted ceiling and gray carpet. Their was a green armchair in the corner and a painting above the wall. Profile.

Then next to Kari's room was Ivory's. Her room was the coolest I had seen yet. It had a closet that was out of the wall, like a dresser or something. It also had hard floor that was gleaming. It had a queen bed in it. It had panel instead of paint. Profile.

Across from Kari's room was Nicole's room. The bed was white with a blue princess tent. It had a magnificent rug in front of it. It had blue flowery wallpaper and hardwood floor. Profile.

Then Rose took me upstairs. "Are we going to my room?" I asked.

"No, we have yet to see Max's room. He lives next door to you," she responded.

She opened the door to the room to the right side of mine. It was amazing! The walls were blood red and there was a balcony. The carpet was white and the bed was four-post. The bed was a queen size and there were two chairs in front of the bed. The ceiling looked like it was wood and there was a fan. There were two candles in the corner in the room. There were two oval paintings of flowers above the bed. The balcony had a beautiful ivory railing and a chair. Profile

After I was done looking, I turned and saw that Rose was gone and Max was standing there, looking at me.
