Chapter 2: What the hell was that?!
I used to think that having brothers and sisters would be cool. I could talk to them all the time and everyone knew everything about the rest of them and nothing would ever be boring…
But it turns out its just really, really annoying.
"Dude! C'mon! Just one wrestling match? I swear this will be the last time I ask you for at least two weeks!" Emmett said from behind me.
I rolled my eyes and leaned farther back into the couch as if to tell him. I'm not going anywhere. The guy had been asking for the last two days! Day and night! I wanted to kill him!
Emmett huffed and a picture of him with a hand on his hip crossed my mind. I smothered my laugh.
"Emmett I don't want to okay?" I said and stood up to face him. "We just wrestled like three days ago anyway!"
He threw up his hands in frustration. "That's exactly what I'm saying Mike! It's been days!"
I saw Rosalie start laughing on her perch on the love seat and I growled at her making her smirk. I was never really good at intimidating people as a human; I guess I carried that trait over with me, dammit.
I seriously thought if it was possible for a vampire to get a headache I would have one right now. I ran a hand through my shaggy blond hair and sighed heavily.
"Fine!" I shouted making Emmett grin and Gwen, who was walking into the room from the kitchen, jump at my sudden exclamation. "Let's get this over with." I grumbled and stalked outside.
Emmett was following me with an obvious smirk of a premature victory on his face. Out of all sixteen times that Emmett and I have fought, I had won a good three times. That was mostly due to the fact that I was a newborn and running on pure energy and my own human blood. I still counted it as my victories though.
Don't judge me.
Emmett and I ran to a large clearing and faced each other. We took a defensive stance. The air crackled with energy and I felt myself liking the idea of a fight more and more.
A soft breeze blew through the field, ruffling our hair and clothes. I smelled the excitement and aggression off of Emmett and smirked. He was always ready for a fight, I think that was the reason he hunted bears for food mostly.
Just a theory.
As always, Emmett was the first to move barreling straight towards me. A common battle technique, pure aggression and energy, he was easy to control this way.
I leaped out of the way and ran at him while he was back was turned, striking for his legs but only coming up with air as he jumped somersaulted backwards.
I growled at him and he snarled back in challenge. He charged at me and threw a punch but I dodged it, and the one after that, and the one after that.
Emmett may have been a vampire, but he was also one of the slow vampires, much faster than any human but his strength was in force.
I, on the other hand, could run as fast if not faster than Edward. A fact that I felt proud of and had mentally patted myself on the back to have the foresight to take track and field…not that anyone could have the foresight of being changed into a vampire quite suddenly.
He growled in frustration and I moved so I was on the side of him and he jumped before I could hit him, moving so he was few feet away.
"You're getting better kid." He complimented with a pointed smirk and I laughed.
"Your not so bad yourself, old man" Emmett let a roar of playful anger and leapt at me.
I jumped but he caught my foot and brought me to the ground on my stomach. I groaned in annoyance and yanked my foot away while rolling over as he tried to smash me into the grass. I jumped up and grabbed his arm and swung him to go flying across the field.
He landed on his feet and skidded to a stop and ran at me again. I ran to meet him and we clashed with a sound like thunder breaking through the air. Damn, Carlisle was going to be mad at us later; we weren't supposed to make that kind of noise unless there was other thunder to blame it on.
Oh well, it was Washington, it always had thunder, right?
I grabbed Emmett into a headlock and he pulled away to grab my leg and fling me into a tree making it crackle and groan in protest.
I growled, getting a little annoyed that I was losing and jumped down from the middle of the tree. Emmett was standing, but slightly hunched, as if he had to jump away at anytime and laughing at me.
"Oh jeez! That was hilarious!" Emmett roared.
I glared at him and started to feel my irritation grow. I really hated it when he won. It wasn't like I was a sore loser or anything, though it really seemed like that right now. I just hated that I lost to everybody.
"Whatever." I grumbled and started to walk back towards the house.
"Don't be such a poor sport!" he called to me. "I didn't get mad at you those three times you beat me!" he laughed.
I kept walking and then felt his hand on my shoulder. "Get away from me Emmett." I hissed.
"Dude. I was just-." He started but my anger reached its boiling point and I turned quickly making him jump back in surprise and I had to clench my fists just to keep from hitting him.
My anger had gotten a lot worse since I was changed, Carlisle told me it was because we ran on pure emotions and instinct and it was going to take time to get used to it and act more like a human.
"I said leave me alone!" I roared and I watched as Emmett was pulled, as if by an invisible force, across the clearing and into a tree so hard that it broke in half. I gaped and looked at my hands in disbelief. What….?
"What the hell was that?!" Emmett shouted and got up looking disoriented, was that even possible for a vamp? He ran back over to me and looked at me like I had two heads or something. "What. The. Hell?!"
I shook my head to clear my thoughts. "Uh…" was all I could get out.
Hey! I just through one of my brothers into a tree without even touching him! He was lucky that I even made a sound!
"Did you just throw me across the field using your mind?" Emmett said in disbelief. Ouch, that hurt.
"Yeah! So what? You think I'm too stupid or something?" I asked, still a little peeved from earlier. I really needed to work on my anger management.
The large vampire held up his hands defensively and took a step back. "Hey! Don't bite my head off! This isn't something that happens to me everyday you know! I'm as confused as you are. Chill."
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. "Well…what do we do?"
He scratched the back of his neck. "I don't know. Can you do it again?"
I shrugged and then looked at stick lying on the ground near my foot. Move, move, move, move I thought.
Nothing, nata, zip, zilch. Well that made me feel stupid.
"No." I said out loud.
Emmett sighed and brushed his hair out of his eyes. "Isn't there a name for something like this? Tele-something or other?"
I bit my lip. "I think its telekinesis. Do you think that's my…vamp power?"
He chuckled. "Hopefully! That was the coolest thing ever! I just hope I'm not on the receiving end of it again, it hurt!"
I laughed and started walking again. "Should we tell Carlisle?"
He walked next to me, matching my pace and stuffing his hands in the pockets of his jeans. "Yeah, I think so. Its not like it could hurt anything and maybe he knows another vampire who went through the same thing."
When we got to the house Emmett went to find Rosalie and I found Gwen in our room reading a book on the bed. I sat next to her and looked over her shoulder and raised an eyebrow at the text.
"You're reading Harry Potter?" I asked incredulously.
Not that I had anything against the books or anything but I never imagined my two hundred year old vampire girlfriend would be interested in reading about a teenage wizard…what a weird sentence.
Gwen looked up at me and smiled. "Yep, this is really good. I think it's really weird that the wizards let J.K. Rowling write a book about them. I mean, if any humans knew that Hogwarts was real…"
"What?!" I yelped. Oh my….
"Just kidding!" she laughed and sat up marking a page in her book and wrapping her arms around my shoulders. "You have no idea how funny your expression was! I guess it was I who pulled the wool over your face!" she laughed.
I tweaked her nose. "Its wool over my eyes sweetie." I told her nicely. For being a genius she sure was horrible at learning modern phrases. I found that an extremely endearing trait.
"Sure, sure." She waved her hand around dismissively and I scowled.
"You are spending way too much time with that Jacob Black kid. You're even starting to talk like him!" Ever since Bella had been turned into a vampire the werewolves and vampires had actually been getting along.
And since, on Edwards's orders, Bella was not allowed to visit the werewolves alone she would take Gwen. Who was becoming a quick friend with the werewolves, to my great displeasure, since I, still as a newborn vamp, was too sensitive to the horrible smell that surrounded them.
Gwen even had to take showers before coming into contact with me because even the faint odor of them was enough to make me retch.
"Oh your just mad because Emmett beat you again." she poked my bicep and I fell back on the bed.
"Leave the fortune telling to Alice. It was draw for your information and I'm not mad."
She rested her chin on my chest and I started to run my hand over her hair as a habit that we had grown into. "So what's wrong Mike?"
I toyed with the idea of not telling her but there was really no point in it and we didn't have any secrets between us anyway.
"I think I learned what my power is." I said softly and twirled a piece of her hair around my finger while biting my lip in thought.
Gwen brightened and smiled. "Really?" she knew that I was stoked when I learned
Vampires got powers, well, not right away because there was kind of a battle over my life going on at the moment but when I turned into one I really wanted to see if I got one. After about six months I thought it was never going to happen, but now it was nearing the eighth month of my vampirism and I was finally starting to show.
"Yeah. I threw Emmett across the whole clearing without even touching him and broke a tree in half." I smiled.
"Telekinesis?" she asked, somewhat worriedly.
I quirked an eyebrow. "Yeah, I think…why?"
She played with a loose string on my shirt and I caught her hand trying to get her attention. She was really scaring me, she usually was all smiles and stuff, even when things were bad she was never this nervous.
"What's wrong Gwen?"
She laughed nervously. "Nothing! I'm just peeved that your gift seems to be better than mine!" she growled playfully and straddled me. "I'm jealous." She purred.
I grinned. "Well too bad. Guess I'm going to be able to kick your butt in a fight someday then." I rolled her over so I was on top and kissed her.
She seemed to sigh and the rational part of my brain was telling me that she was distracting me.
The guy side of my brain though... was congratulating her and egging her on.
I think we all know who was going to win this fight.
