"ill see u later?" i
asked. he
leaned down once more to kiss me. when he pulled back it wasnt
ashton. it was christopher. he smiled at me.
"yeah. im pretty sure that you will." alice
said. i smiled at her.
"bye guys." i stood onto of
the top part of the porch fence. i sprang onto the gutter and
swung onto the roof. i across the roof. i looked down.
christopher had a dumbfounded look on his face. alice was
whispering to him what had happened to me. waved before i went
into my house. i got dressed for
bed(.com/cgi/app#foo).
evryone had left. i didnt dare go downstairs.
i climbed into
bed. i was so tired that i slipped into a dream....
"this is no
accident." he said.
"its no accidental love."
i said. he leaned down again to kiss me....
Chapter 8: Part 2
i woke up abruptly. the dream that id just had
had made me even more confused. how could i possibly like
christopher. ashton had just died the say before and i was
already over him? but in the dream it was really like it had
happened. it really felt like id kissed christopher. i found
myself wanting to be with christopher in a way that id never
experienced. there was a knock on my door. i looked at the alarm
clock it was almost 10:00 am.
"who is it?" i
said.
"can i come in hon?" my mother asked.
"sure."
i said quietly. my door quietly opened. i smiled a little
bit.
"are you okay?" she asked.
"its weird,
but yeah. oddly yes. im fine." i said. i still didnt
understand the words that came out of my mouth.
"i think
i knew that." she said when she saw my expression. the
words that she said surprised me.
"how?"
"from
my stand point and as a mother i can see clearly who my daughter
likes and is more like a brother or sister or even a best
friend. ashton was your big brother." my mother had caught
that too. i felt ashamed.
"does anyone else know?"
"i
dont think so. angie called."
"she did. i told her
that you were okay."
"thanks mom." i glanced
at the clock again. i wanted to see if i could find alice. it
was a rainy day. so i would have to dress warmly.
"ill
be downstairs if you need me." and with that my mom kissed
my forehead and left. i went to my closet and picked out
something reasonably warm and
comfy(.com/cgi/app#foo).
i opened my door and headed for the shower.
when i stepped
out of the shower there was a cool breeze. i shivered. i walked
into my room and put my clothes on. i had the strangest feeling
that i was being watched. i looked around. at least i was smart
enough to put on my underwear and bra before i got out of
the bathroom. i quickly put on my shirt and pants. i laid down
on my bed so that i could look under it for my shoes. they
werent there. i sat on my knees. i almost screamed. i wasnt
alone. alice was in my room. my heart was going at least five
times faster.
"sorry." she said.
"its okay.
window?" i said.
"yeah."
"wheres the
others?" i asked when i realized that they were
missing.
"outside." she said with a smile."we
were wondering if you would like to come with us today."
"let
me get finished and ill be right down." alice climbed out
the window and disappeared. i just remembered that my shoes were
downstairs. finished everything that i was supposed to that
included making up my bed. i walked down the stairs. my mom was
in the living room sipping coffee.
"hey mom im gonna go
out. ok?"
"sure, sure." she wasnt paying much
attention. she was watching her fave show. i instead wrote a
quick note that i would be out. i grabbed my cell and keys and
was out the door. alice was in my car already. nessie and
christopher were in back. i walked over to the driver's side and
got in. i stuck the key in the ignition. i looked at alice as i
pulled the car out of the driveway.
"what?" she
said innocently.
"you know 'what'." i said. i
looked back to the road. i just now realised that i didnt even
know where we were going.
"alice, she isnt a fashion
girl, is she?" christopher said.
"sadly no. she
just has a great sense of fashion. sara take a left." alice
said. i could tell that alice was hiding something from
me.
"alice where are we going?" i asked.
"youll
see." she said smoothly.
"ugh! you of all people
know that i hate not knowing things." i whined.
"you
would sooo suck at being a vampire." she said smiling. i
stuck my tongue out at her. christopher snickered. we were
heading up into the mountains. i came here often with angie and
meg.
crap! i forgot to tell you about megs. well she is my
first bff. we met in 2nd grade and have been friends since then.
she moved to london with her mom and dad because her dad got a
job offer up there. she sends me stuff every week and comes to
see me every other month or so.
trees and stuff flew by us as
i pushed 95 m.p.h. the rain brought leaves and other stuff onto
the windshield. i could see almost perfectly. there were some
glitches in the changes that occurred when i got bitten. i
laughed quietly. when i fought vampires sometimes i bluffed, but
it never occurred to them that i was. alice looked at
me.
"what?" i said innocently. she just shook her
head. after a few minutes she told me to slowdown. i let the
meter go down to 70. i didnt like driving slow.
"now
take a right...now." she said. i swerved onto a hidden
road. it was wide enough for my car. i looked at alice.
"you
figure it out." she said. i followed the road into an
opening. there was a house in the middle of the clearing. there
were four other cars in the drive way. i pulled my hair to the
side. this was insane. i pulled my car in between a volvo and a
porsche. i turned of the car and got out. alice and the others
were already out of the car.
"alice, what is going on?"
i said.
"i thought it would be nice if you met my
family." she said.
"let me guess. theyre all
vampires."
"correct." i shook my head and walk
to the door. someone opened the door. it was a girl with long
brown ringlets. she looked a lot like nessie. standing behind
her was a guy that looked roughly christophers age. he also
looked like nessie. both of them were smiling. we walked into
the house.
"jasper, alice is back." the guy said.
we walked into a living room. there was a flat screen and a
vampire plastered to it. in a recliner there was a blond girl.
she was very pretty, but not as pretty as the girl with the
ringlets.
"evryone this is sara." alice announced.
i blushed.
"lookeds like weve got another blusher
edward." the guy that had met us at the door smacked the
guy that was plastered to the the tv.
"thats emmett."
alice whispered to me. she pointed to other people." thats
rosalie, bella, esme, carlisle, jasper, and edward."
"hey."
i said.
"alice, this is your cousin?" emmett
asked.
"yeah emmett." she said. she was a little
irritated.
"its not really all that hard to guess
emmett. look at her clothes." edward said.
"acutally
i dont shop that often. alice has always been obsessed with
clothes." i said. i was very comfortable in the house full
of vampires. who knew? rosalie didnt even look up from her
magazine. she was so full of it.
"ill believe it when i
see it." emmett said.
"alice cant go to the mall
without buying up the whole store if not the whole store."
i said.
"alice how does she know these things."
bella said.
"well... you know its not me time. its all
about sara." alice said.
"she used to drag sara to
the boutiques and make her go with her." edward said. i
looked, no stared at edward.
"is there something that
you forgot to tell her alice?" carlisle said.
"oh
right. that slipped my mind. edward can read minds." she
said.
"you were too busy thinking about shopping that
you forget to tell me that edward could read minds?" i
said.
"sorry."
"uh huh." next thing
you know she forgets to tell me that they turn into bats. edward
laughed. i looked at him. i laughed too.
"whats so
funny?" alice and bella asked at the same time.
"sara."
was all he said. i shook my head.
"im glad that alice
got to you first." emmett said. this time everyone looked
at emmett. even rosalie.
"sorry i forgot! geeze."
it was no secret of what they were talking about, but they were
worrying about me. about how i was doing. i was still oddly
fine.
"really?" edward said. though i hadnt said
anything out loud.
"yeah. it was weird." i thought
about the night before. edward arched one of his perfect
eyebrows.
please dont say anything! i swear if you do...
i thought. he nodded in understanding.
"he'll find out
anyway." alice whispered. i kicked her in the shin.
"do
you hunt?" carlisle asked.
"no." i said. i
looked at alice.
"yeah they know." she said.
"i
dont even know how it works. ive never even tried." i
said.
"there's always a first time." emmett said.
some of their eyes looked at jasper.
"oh im fine. it
doesnt even bother me. i mean seriously. shes like nessie."
jasper said.
"i could watch?" i said.
"that
would probably be better."carlisle said. they all got up
and headed for a back door.
"can you keep up?"
emmett said. i smiled.
"sure." i said. alice shook
her head. she knew what was going to happen. edward
snickered.
"have you still not learned emmett?"
bella asked.
"we still have a rematch bella!" he
said. they started to run. i ran equally as fast. i caught up
with edward. emmett gawked at me. even edward was surprised.
bella was a few yards back. i set my pace as we weaved in and
out of trees. something dawned on me. if i let some of the more
vampireish things take over i was more vampire than human. that
kinda freaked me out.
"and youre sure that youve never
done this?" edward said.
"im pretty sure that i
havnt." i said. my breathing was even still and my heart
beat was the same.
"its simple. do what youre doing. let
it take over, but not completely." my days were getting
weird. alice wanted me to meet her family and i end up hunting
with them.
"alice does that." edward said. i picked
up a sent. it smelled like deer. it was east of me. i veered to
the right.
"uh huh. never hunted." i heard emmett
say. he was trying to catch up with me. i let the vampire in me
take over a little bit. it could see the deer now. i pushed
harder. it saw me and tried to run. it ended up falling down. i
sprang for the deer. i was careful to not mess up my clothes. i
didnt want my mom to know what happened. the deer was trying to
get away from me. i snapped its neck. this all happened within a
half of a second. i sunk my teeth into the neck. i hit the
jugular. its warm blood filled my mouth. in seconds it was dry.
there was a hollow soft burn at the back of my throat. i stood
up. i now realized that i wasnt alone. alice's family was
staring at me.
"okay. see she lied. it took me forever
to master that!" emmett said. i blushed. alice was wide
eyed.
"you havent hunted before?" she asked.
"not
until now. i swear." i said truthfully." wait you guys
didnt stop just because you saw me did you?"
"edward
was the one who followed you." jasper said." he wanted
to see how you did. so we followed." i looked at edward. i
could feel the heat of a blush on my face. i looked down at the
deer that id just killed. i licked my teeth. i was surprised to
feel my k9s. they had grown a little. my throat was starting to
hurt.
"so..." i started to back up a little. i
turned and sprinted away. i had to find something to feed on. i
could hear the others. i listened carefully. then it hit me. i
understood why i could hunt so well. i wondered if they
knew....right at that moment i caught the sent of another deer.
this time it was northeast. i changed my direction ever so
slightly. there was a whole pack of them. i could see them. i
sprang onto the nearest one. it was getting easier and easier.
in five minutes i already had gotten four. after the fifth one i
had to stop. i was full. i climbed up a tree. i watched
everyone. i wanted to live with them and id only knew them a
couple hours. maybe i needed change. i wasnt going to go out and
take out vampires anymore. instead i think that i would spend
time with alice's family. maybe being a vampire wasnt so bad.
thought i wasnt a true one.....
hehe...that wasnt what you were thinking was it it....you didnt plan it like that...mwahahaha! looks like saras more vampire than human...or is she????? will she date christopher?? i wonder whats going to happen next! comment and tell ur friends!
luv
always...kisses
