The biting cold made its way to Safina's torso and she wrapped her arms around herself in an attempt to keep herself warm. Her ripped jeans made goosebumps appear on the dark exposed skin and her hoodie didn't appear to be very useful at that point. Walking aimlessly around the woods was never a good idea, less so when she had no idea where she was or where she was going. The lack of knowledge that she had about Forks made her extremely hyper aware of each sound that came from the woods.
She was quick to turn around at the sound of rustling bushes but was quickly brought to her knees by a burning pain encasing her entire body. Her voice was useless, sound refused to come out as she stared at a girl, no more than 15, donning a cloak and a smug look on her face. In a second, the girl had Safina pinned against a tree, a small hand wrapped around her throat, the burning feeling continuing in the dark girl. Gasping for air did nothing but choke her up more, her vision becoming blurry and hands that had attempted to get the arm away from her throat fell to her side, useless with the pain shooting through them.
Just as black spots began to fill her vision, the hand was suddenly removed from her throat, the other girl's nails leaving scratches behind. The burning in her body ceased and she fell on the ground, choking on air while holding her bleeding throat. A beautiful blonde girl suddenly appeared in front of her, Safina knew her to be one of the Cullens.
Safina didn't remember much after that, Dr. Cullen blaming it on too much adrenaline. Jasper was quick to check on her, making sure there would be no permanent damage. Her scars would heal but the curiosity would remain.
"I'm sure you want answers," Dr. Cullen left Jasper to explain the situation to Safina, he could do it best. The girl was quick to nod and he continued, "That was Jane, she's, uh, not from around here."
"Please Stop! Stop with the vague answers because I know you understand that they're not enough!" Safina's voice was weak but her emotion was strong, Jasper felt it and sighed.
"She's here to check up on Renesmee," Feeling the urge to laugh at what she thought to be a pathetic excuse, Safina stood up angrily.
"Why would a young girl be here to 'check up' on Nessie?" Jasper's eyes narrowed at the accusing girl, a small smile playing at his lips.
"Nessie's...different."
"How, exactly, is Nessie 'different'?" Safina crossed her arms, trying as hard as she could to look menacing to the boy across from her.
While Jasper explained the circumstances of Renesmee's birth along with the secrets they fought so hard to keep, Safina's legs turned to jelly and she immediately took her seat back on the velvet green couch.
"S-So you guys are all," she gulped, "v-vampires?" The word felt strange on her tongue, leaving a tingling in its wake. Jasper nodded at the question, hands in his pockets as he read her emotions.
Running a hand through her hair, the brown skinned girl felt warm all over, taking in a new world of information. Jasper only stood there, not wanting to scare her anymore than he already had.
"Prove it," Safina's worried eyes looked up at him as he became confused.
"What?"
"I said, prove it. Prove to me that this isn't a lie and that rethinking my existence as a whole isn't pointless," She stood up again, wiping her palms on her jeans. Jasper took it upon himself to quickly pick up the young girl and run as quickly as he could, maneuvering himself through the thick forest.
When he finally found a spot suitable enough to put Safina down at, her jaw went slack, "Wow, ok, so you weren't lying," She held onto his arms, clinging as though she might fall down at any second. He didn't think about moving her, nor would he anytime soon.
