Hey everyone! Just wanted to say thanks for the reviews and keep 'em coming! :D Y'all are the best! :D

The weeks following the wedding were typical. Alice took (more like forced) me shopping in Port Angeles, and bought me a whole new wardrobe, much to my objection. A few days later, Emmett decided that he wanted to play a prank on me.

Well, he actually nearly gave me a heart attack.

One day, two weeks after the wedding, I walked into my room after taking a bath and found the most vile creature I'd ever seen perched on my bed. It was a gigantic monarch butterfly, sitting as if it was okay for it to be there.

Something that only Edward and Emmett knew about was my excessive fear of butterflies, and they both found it hilarious. I, on the other hand, did not appreciate their laughter at my fear. The thing suddenly took off, spazzing around the room in a random fashion, and ended up coming straight towards my face, sending me downstairs, screaming at the top of my lungs. Emmett had apparently anticipated this move, and I found the living room filled with countless butterflies of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I froze as five of them landed on various parts of my body. One of them settled on my nose, looking me straight in the eyes and flapped its wings menacingly.

Letting out a bloodcurdling scream, I sprinted outside, seeing the rest of the family coming downstairs, looking confused. Some of the butterflies flew out the door, and I swear to god the disgusting things were after me.

"Giselle, what's wrong? And why are there butterflies everywhere?" asked Esme amidst the confusion. I saw Emmett look down guiltily, hiding his laughter. Of course, he was the one who had done it.

Storming up to him, I gave him a swift punch in the gut, and it looked like I actually managed to hurt him. Good, revenge is ever so sweet. "Emmett freaking Cullen what the HELL were you thinking?! You know how much I hate those-those things!" I screamed in disgust.

"I was just joking, geez, lighten up," he exclaimed, giving me a confused look. Usually, I would be laughing but something within me wanted to beat Emmett to a pulp at that moment.

A feral growl ripped out of my chest. Where did that come from? Above me, the sky started to darken, lightning flashing all around us. The rest of the family started to back away from me slowly, looking confused and slightly fearful. "Don't do it again," I warned, stalking off. Something grabbed my hand and stopped me, and I turned to find Jasper studying my face warily.

"What are you?" he asked suspiciously.

"I don't know what you mean, let go of my arm," I snapped, trying to pull my arm out of his grasp, but I couldn't because of the way he held me.

"It's obvious you're not human, so what are you?"

Feeling a wave of calm wash over me just fueled my anger. How dare Jasper think he can control my emotions like that? The same bubbling feeling arose in my chest, confusing me even further. Jasper's grip on my arm tightened and he twirled me around saw my bared teeth, probably sensing that I was ready to pounce on Emmett.

"Guys, she's behaving like a newborn, so she probably has no clue what's going on," he whispered, pity obvious in his face. That look of pity made me lose it, I hated pity. I didn't need it and didn't want it. Instinct took over, and I snarled, twisting Jasper's arm off of me and throwing him into a tree across the river. A look of shock was on Emmett's face as I turned towards him and lunged. We both fell to the ground, limbs flying everywhere as I punched his face mercilessly. Thunder rumbled endlessly overhead and a tree snapped in half after a gigantic lightning bolt came down on it.

Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Jasper joined the fight, trying to pull me off of Emmett. Jasper, being the most experienced fighter, was the one who managed to do so first. Knowing I had no chance of beating him, I prepared to lunge for the next closest person to me, which happened to be Carlisle. The look on his face made me stop short, and I shook myself out of my anger induced trance, right as Jasper and Emmett pounced on me, holding me still on the ground. I fought the urge to throw them off, telling myself that they were just trying to help.

"She's calming down a little," Jasper informed the others, then faced me. "You good now?" he asked, and I nodded slowly. Little by little, he and Emmett released me, and I stood up, rubbing my arms, where bruises were forming.

"Sorry, I don't know what-"

"Came over you? It's nature, attacking people if they make you feel threatened or angry. What I don't understand is how you managed to do that," he said, looking to me for an explanation. No, this wasn't right. I wasn't ready to tell them.

Shaking my head, I edged towards the forest, and I could see their eyes following my movements. "I can't tell you."

They all looked confused, and Rosalie stepped towards me angrily. "Why not? We told you everything about vampires, why can't you tell us about yourself?!" her voice began rising, making me feel guilty.

Tears welling in my eyes, I replied, "Because not even I know, and you told me willingly! Would you have told someone else your secret a few weeks after you discovered it yourself?"

The rest of the family seemed to understand my argument, but not agree with it.

"But we can help you if you let us, I know how scary it is to be alone and scared," Carlisle said, trying to reason with me.

We all stood in a semicircle, them standing cautiously in case I attacked again and me nervously thinking through what to say. It would've been so much easier with Edward or Alice there, but Edward was on his honeymoon and Alice had gone to Port Angeles to shop, but would probably be back soon. Still, I felt uncomfortable and awkward knowing that I had just attacked my own family. The guilt arose then, and the tears finally spilled over, making me feel vulnerable.

"No, you don't understand! You have it so easy, you're all so perfect and don't have to worry about anything. I'm just a freak, and I'm ALONE. You don't know, I am the only one of my kind. Not to mention if I do tell you what I am, the Volturi will most definitely come for me, is that what you want?!" Wow, that came out of nowhere.

Now Carlisle had a look of guilt on his face, and I could tell that I'd struck a sore nerve. "You know that's not what any of us wants, Giselle." He sighed, and I could tell that the argument was over, and I'd won. "Let's go back inside and pretend this never happened, sound good?" he asked hopefully.

"Tempting, but there's still a ton of butterflies in there and I was actually thinking of going to La Push to see Seth." A silly grin had begun to make its way onto my face, and all of their eyes widened.

"Seth Clearwater?" asked Rosalie.

"Yeah, you know him?"

"Yes, he's one of the dogs," she spat.

I was taken aback by her hatred for the wolves. "What'd they do to you?"

Emmett barked out a laugh. "Let's just say, Rosalie doesn't approve of their smell or their tendency to go around shirtless."

As Rosalie huffed, the rest of us laughed at her. "Seth's super sweet though, how could you not like him?" I inquired.

"AWWWW GISELLEEEE!" It sounded like Alice was home, and she'd overheard the last part of our conversation.

"Yes Alice?" I turned, cursing under my breath. I would never hear the end of my visiting Seth, would I?

"YOU WUV WITTLE SETHIE DON'T YOU?!" Great, my face was bright red, answering her question immediately. She squealed, and we all covered our ears, while I wondered how the noise didn't shatter any glass. "Awwww, did he imprint on you? Did heeee? DID HEEEE?"

If that grin gets any bigger, her face is gonna break, I thought. Might as well tell them.

"Yes, he imprinted on me Alice," I sighed.

"Ohmigosh then go now, go see him!" she exclaimed, shooing me away. I waved, then took off through the forest, running at staggering speeds through the trees. Focused solely on getting to Seth, I didn't pay much attention to the sounds around me as I passed the border and entered into La Push territory.

That is, until I saw a pair of bright red eyes staring at me from a tree fifty feet ahead of where I had stopped.

Oooh dramatic. ;)
