2 weeks later
Well, 2 weeks have passed since I had my first day at Forks High. And it has been almost the best 2 weeks of my life! I've become good friends with the Cullen's, and when I arrived at school the day after I had made them uncomfortable, they acted as if it had never happened. Now they were treating me like a real friend. And I felt special.
Emmett and I had become really good friends. We laughed and joked almost all the time, and we had gotten to know each other a lot better. It was like I was born to be Emmett's friend, we were almost exactly alike.
Maybe I was hoping we could be more than just friends... maybe I wanted a little more after those two weeks, after getting to know him better...
But I knew Emmett was way too good for me. And I didn't mind just being friends, that much. He was a great person.
I kept in touch with Storm, of course. I emailed him at least once a day, and chatted to him online every night. Since I didn't need to sleep anymore, I had a lot of time on my hands. I never realized how much time sleeping actually wasted. If people didn't sleep, we wouldn't have trouble finishing homework assignments, or paperwork, or anything. That's why I suddenly started to get A's in everything.
So, everything was going just the way I wanted it to be. I made some great new friends; I had settled into my new home easily; my schoolwork was going great. What could possibly happen to mess all of that up?

Emmett's POV
As soon as I laid my eyes on her, I knew she was the one.
I was sitting on a plane in Australia, waiting to fly back to America. I visited Australia for some experimental hunting.
Kangaroos just weren't as good as grizzly's.
So there I was, sitting there next to a window, waiting. I had missed my family quite a bit. They weren't as... eager to experiment with different animals as I was. I didn't blame them, actually. Australia was very sunny; I had to wear full clothing just to walk around. Even a giant hat that made me look like such a goob. I laughed at myself every time I looked in the mirror.
Anyway... back to the plane...
I was just about to get up for a walk around, when somebody boarded the small plane. I didn't know what hit me... she was indescribable. I had never seen a human quite like her before. She couldn't be human... she was walking so gracefully. But she couldn't be one of us... she was tanned. And I could hear her heartbeat. Whoa... it was going way too fast. Maybe she'd been running?
She walked down the aisle of the plane, towards the seat near mine. I caught a closer glimpse of her face. Her hair was bronze, like Ed's, and it flowed down her back. Her eyes were shining gold, and she had purple rings shadowing them. Just like us.
It was probably just a coincidence. Maybe she was tired?
She sat down at her seat, and put her bag down. She was so cute... I wondered what her name was. Probably something beautiful...
Whoa... that felt weird. I never thought like that. This girl was something of an angel.
And she wasn't just a pretty face either. Well, pretty is definitely an understatement.
When the plane had taken off, she was talking to somebody on her laptop. She typed so fast... she wasn't even looking at the keyboard. Awesome.
'Hey Storm,' I heard her say. That voice... it was incredible. Were all human voices like that? I don't think so.
'I am a fish!' she blurted out.
I couldn't help but chuckle to myself, quietly mind you so she wouldn't hear me. I'd never met anybody who had acted so... humorously in public. It looked like she didn't care what people thought.
That was a mere 2 weeks ago now. When we arrived in Port Angeles she disappeared, and I thought I'd never see her again. I was sort of depressed, even though I hadn't spoken a word to her. I wished I had.
But the most incredible thing happened. When I started school for the year 2 weeks ago, there was a new girl on the streets. Bella invited her to come to our table.
It was her. That beautiful, indescribable girl. She had moved to Forks. What a coincidence! I was so happy. She was just as cute as she was on that long plane ride.
Her name is Skye Hansen. I knew her name would be beautiful.
Ever since then we've become best friends. She is awesome, she goofs around, jokes, laughs, and she doesn't care what people say about her.
And she is incredibly strong. So strong in fact, she has beaten me at and arm wrestle. Twice. And she fixed a dent she made in Georgia's car. I know Georgia because she goes to Carlisle whenever she's sick. Or "sick".
Skye has been causing a lot of mysteries amongst my family. They all think she's a half breed. Half vampire. Because she suddenly hates human food, her purple rings are growing darker, and she can hear a lot more things than normal humans do. We're all convinced she's not a normal everyday human. But she's not quite a vampire either. It's a complete mystery.
Nevertheless.... I think I'm falling in love with her. I'm trying my hardest not to, to keep her safe. But I think it's impossible. She is everything I've always dreamed of. I've been witnessing Edward and Bella together for fifty years, and Alice and Jasper even longer. I've always been sort of... envious. Sure, I was happy with my life and everything. But seeing everybody else in my coven with somebody else is kind of depressing sometimes.
But now that I've met Skye... I've been thinking differently. She is just like me... it's scary. I'm worried about her safety though. What if she isn't half vampire? What if she's just an incredibly unique human? What if I loose control around her and hurt her?
I should really stop worrying. She was too good for me. And besides... she didn't have a scent. So it was a lot easier for me.
I hadn't totally convinced myself, though. So I decided to talk to the only other vampire in the world to have fallen in love with a human. My brother, Edward.
It was a Saturday afternoon at our large house. Carlisle was at the hospital, Esme, Bella and Alice where out shopping and Jasper was in the forest hunting. This was the one time I could get Ed alone.
I knocked on his door.
'Yes, Emmett?' his voice rang clear in my head. I opened his door and entered his room. He was sitting on his couch, reading some book.
'Reading again?' I asked. He raised an eyebrow at me.
'Is that all you came to tell me?' he said.
'Why dyou bother asking these questions, Ed. You know what's going through my mind.' I sighed, sitting down next to him on the couch.
'On the contrary. I've been too bust reading to pay attention to your thoughts lately, Emmett. And it's Edward.' he reminded me. I ignored it. He knew better than to correct my nickname for him.
'Well then Edward,' I started, 'I wanted to talk to you about Skye.'
He smirked. Argh, damn him and his smugness. He knows I'm new to this sort of thing.
'Oh really?' he said, folding his arms. Damn you Ed, damn you.
'What about Skye?' he asked, ignoring my cursed thoughts.
'I'm just gonna get straight to the point here Ed. No stalling,' I said, 'I think I'm falling in love with her, Ed.'
I ran my fingers through my curly hair stressfully. This was a new feeling to me.
'I thought this might happen.' Edward said thoughtfully. Of course, he always knew everything.
'You've been through this, Ed. With Bella, fifty years ago. When she was still human,' I started, 'what should I do?'
Edward stayed silent for a moment, and then said, 'I think in this case it's a little different.'
'Different? In what way?' I asked.
'Well, we're not actually sure if she's human yet. For all we know she could be some freak of nature.' he said. I winced.
'Don't say that, Ed.' I said painfully.
'Oh, sorry.' he apologized.
Sometimes Ed didn't know when to keep his mouth shut.
'Nothing else peculiar has happened,' he went on, 'not since the purple rings she has went darker during her first week here. Maybe we were overreacting.'
I could tell he was trying to make up for what he said. I decided to let it go.
'Maybe,' I said.
'So... when did you realize you were falling in love with her?' he asked curiously.
'Well... it's sort of been happening gradually ever since I met her. The more I get to know her, the more I love her.' I confessed. You know, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, talking like this to somebody else.
'Yes... that's exactly what happened with Bella and I. But I will warn you... just keep it the way it is at the moment. Leave it for a few more weeks,' he said, 'then when you're ready, you should talk to her. Alone.'
Damn, Ed was good with advice.
'Yes, I know.' he said. Well... he was back to reading my thoughts again.
'Okay... I'll give it a bit more time. It will probably kill me... but it is for Skye's sake.' I agreed, 'but you must promise me something.'
'Yes?'
'Let's keep this conversation to ourselves.'
