Morgan's POV:
It's been at least 2 months. You'd think that maybe I could go out in public already…
I thought to myself staring out the window of my bedroom. It had been 2 months since I'd become a vampire. Even though I hadn't been exposed to humans yet, Carlisle and the whole family was sure that I could handle it.
The plan was that I'd go with Alice and she'd show me around the school and take me away if necessary.
It was going to happen tomorrow morning.
I heard a knock on my bedroom door, interrupting my thoughts.
"Come in!" I called.
"Morgan?" Alice said coming in.
"Yes?"
"Are
you nervous about tomorrow?" she asked, worried for my sake.
I shrugged. "Yes, kind of. But if I start hyperventilating, get me out of there, please." I said, gravely.
Alice smiled. "Of course I will. I also have an excellent excuse if that does happen." She said, pleased with herself.
"That's good." I replied.
She nodded. "So, all you have to do when you're in the classroom with them is control you're thirst. Try not to talk to them, either. It's the best thing. So, you'll be in the same Biology class as Edward, so we can all keep an eye on you. You'll be in a class with at least one of us." She explained.
"That's good…" I said, sighing.
Alice smiled at me. "You'll be fine Morgan. Trust me."
I looked up at her. "You really think so?"
She laughed and nodded. "Of course. Well, I'm going to be in my room. See you." She said. I smiled at her back. "Thanks for believing in me." I said quietly.
I looked out the window. A small snowflake landed on the window pane. I gasped.
"Edward! Edward!" I said, pounding on his door. He opened it and chuckled. "Yes, Morgan?"
"The first snow! Right now! Come on!" I said, dragging him into my bedroom. "See?" I said, pointing to the window.
He laughed. "You sure get amused by the oddest things, don't you, Morgan?"
I shrugged. "It's kind of been a habit."
He smiled at me, and walked back to his room.
What would this first snow bring? New possibilities? I thought about it. Yes. I finally concluded. I'd make this winter one I'd never forget.
I walked downstairs and flipped on the TV. I was staring up at the ceiling, studying the architecture of it.
"Ew. Snow." I heard Rose's voice.
I peered over the couch.
"Oh. Hey, Rose." I said, smiling at her.
"Hi, Morgan." She said, sitting on the couch across from me.
"You don't like winter I take it?" I said, a smile playing on my lips.
She shrugged. "Winter brings frizzier hair. And with my hair?" she said, picking up a lock of her golden hair. "I don't think so." She said, giggling.
I grinned. "I can understand that."
"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" she asked.
I let out a small laugh and nodded profusely.
"You don't think you'll be able to restrain yourself?" Rosalie asked.
I looked at my feet. "I really don't know…"
"I really don't want to hurt anyone, but I want to go out into public. I don't want to be isolated forever. I just hope if I do start to become thirsty I won't hurt anyone." I explained.
Rose nodded.
"Would you guys mind if I went on a last minute hunting trip? I want to at least be prepared."
"Yeah, sure. We don't mind. Take Edward with you. You'll probably need some company." Rose said.
"Okay, I'll go see if he wants to go." I said, getting up.
I walked up the stairs to his bedroom, and knocked on the door. "Yes, Morgan?" he asked from the inside.
"What…? How did you know it was me?" I whined.
"I could tell by your knock. Anyway, you want to go on a hunting trip, huh?" he asked, turning to face me from his desk.
"Well, yes, if you don't mind going with me." I said.
"Sure. I don't have anything to do today, anyway. Let's go."
"Where do you want to go for our hunt?" I asked him, after I put my seat belt on in the Volvo.
"To a place a little off Seattle."
"Wow. Alright." I said, grinning.
"Are you still having problems with that Bella girl?" I asked.
He looked at me then back at the road.
"You're really concerned about me, aren't you?" he said chuckling.
I shrugged. "I don't want you to pull off another Alaska escapade." I said flatly.
