Twilight #2: New Kid
Diamond was sitting at a table in the cafeteria. Before she knew it, she had two pairs of hands grabbing her arms and lifted her to a table. She looked around and noticed the three female and male faces. They all smiled at her and introduced themselves.
"Hay. My name's Eric. Eric Yorkie. I am the eyes and ears of the school. If you ever need to know anything, just ask." said the Asian looking boy. Diamond nodded in response.
"Hi. My name's Angela Weber. It's nice to meet you."
"I'm Jessica Stanley."
"I'm Bella Swan."
"Name's Milk Newton. Nice to meet you."
"And I'm Tyler Crowley. It's nice to have some new blood around here." He outstretched his hand and they clasped theirs together (a/n: if you're black, I hope you know what I mean by this). Diamonds' head turned towards the cafeteria doors as they opened. In walked the Cullen's. The group noticed she was looking at them and started to explain.
"Oh. Those are the Cullen's." Jessica explained again. "They're Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids. The blond girl is Rosalie and she's with the big guy named Emmett. The perky girl's name is Alice and she's with Jasper; the one who looks like he's in pain. And finally, the last one is Edward. Up until a few months ago, no girl was ever good enough for him. But luckily our little Bella here fixed that. Now she's with him." Bella smiled when the girls and Tyler congratulated her. Just then, Diamond god up and walked over to their table. They whole group went silent as they watched in aw. When she got to their table, she stood there for a moment or two.
The Cullen's just stared at her intensely, wondering what she wanted. She didn't say anything. She just walked over to Rosalie, moved her hair outta the way (which said vampire girl didn't seem to like at all), unclasped something, and pulled out one of the few necklaces from around her neck. It was a beautiful silver necklace with a diamond in the center.
"Hey!" she protested. "What do you think you're doing? That's mine!" Diamond just shook her head no. "What are you talking about? Of course it's mine. What you think it's yours?" Diamond nodded yes. "Alright prove it." And that's what she did. She turned it onto the back and sure enough, the words written there were:
Mommy and Daddy love you Diamond.
She then turned it over to the front and, like magic, opened it to prove that it wasn't just a necklace, but also a locket. On one side was a picture of her mom and dad. On the other was a picture of her and her two brothers. The Cullen's were shocked and they all looked at Rosalie in a little anger.
"What?" she asked, thinking she did nothing wrong. "How was I supposed to know it was hers?" They all turned to Diamond who had put her necklace back on and was writing a note. When she was done, she set it on the table, grabbed her things and left as the bell rang. They all read the note and their blood ran cold.
I won't tell anyone, but please don't take my stuff again.
They all stared wide eyed at it. It was amazing how one piece of parchment could bring fear to their very cores.
THE NEXT DAY
The next day was hard for the Cullen's from the moment Diamond pulled up in a blue and white robot looking car (a/n: if any of you have ever seen Teen Titans, it Cyborg's car she's driving) to the end of the day. All they could do was stared at her in every class. Sadly, she had at least one of them in every one of her classes. She could feel their stares on her, but she never said anything. Sometimes she'd turn towards them and they'd just keep looking at her in the eye, but she never said anything.
In one of her classes with Edward, he kept trying to read her mind. He couldn't seem to hear anything in it, but when he tried hard enough, she would seem to turn to him. He would just stare at her and not say a word.
AFTER SCHOOL
To say she was happy that the end of the day had come would've been an understatement. It had been raining and the ground was still really wet. Suddenly, a car came screeching towards her. She looked up in time to see Tyler swerve out of control, but not enough time to react or jump out of the way. The next thing she knew, she hit the top of her car, rolled over it, fell to the ground, and was falling/rolling down the little hill next to her car. She could feel her face and arm skin tearing apart, but she was in too much pain to care. The next thing her mind could register was a pair of strong arms picking her up and carrying her into a car.
IN ALICE'S TRUCK
Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie all rode in Alice's truck towards the hospital while Edward drove Bella home. The girls sat in the front while the guy laid Diamond on their laps in the back.
Diamond cracked open her eyes a little to see Alice talking (or rather arguing) with Rosalie who was arguing right back. She looked up and Jasper who was just looking between the two arguing girls. None of the four noticed that she was awake. She looked at Jasper's hand and slowly grabbed it and placed it on her face. Jasper gasped and everyone looked at him before seeing what was wrong. They all also gasped when they Diamond rubbing her face with Jasper's cold hands. He quickly snatched them away. Dia whimpered a little before closing her eyes and continuing resting her head against his legs.
The others were actually a little more frightened then before.
AT THE HOSPITAL
Diamond laid on a bed as her brother, both wearing caps, came running in to see if she was alright while Tyler kept apologizing to her and asking if she was alright. Ivan was concentrating on her while Darien was glaring at Tyler. Just then, Dr. Cullen came walking in.
"Well it seems that everything is alright. She may have a minor concussion thought. She should probably rest and take it easy." Ivan looked at him before turning back to him little sister.
"Dia, what do you think?" he asked. Dr. Cullen had heard that Diamond never once spoke in school so he expected the same here, but he was wrong.
"He's right about taking it easy, but I don't have a concussion of any sort, just a small bump or two on my head. Ribs are bruised and one or two fractured. A few bruises on my legs and arms, some scratches here and there. Like he said; nothing serious. I can't see my face, but it shouldn't take no longer than a week, week and a half to heal; as well as my legs, arms and stomach." She looked at Dr. Cullen. His face showed that he was in complete shock. Even Tyler had his jaw agape in shock (a/n: because she talked so much at once and at all). "I got my PHD in medicine." she explained. (a/n: I think that's what you need to me a doctor. I'm not sure. If any of you know what it really is, please tell me in a review)
He snapped out of his little moment and smiled before leaving.
IN THE HALLWAY
Diamond was released from the hospital and was walking down the hall to leave while her brother's signed the paperwork. As she was about to turn the corner, she saw and heard Dr. Cullen, Rosalie, Jasper, Edward, and Emmett talking. She decided to listen.
"Emmett , you know better than to interfere." Dr. Cullen said.
"I know, but I couldn't help it." Emmett defended.
"That's no excuse Emmett. You shouldn't have done that." Rosalie countered angrily.
"Oh don't even go there Rose. I'm not the one who took her necklace right from under her nose. I had a VERY good excuse just as Edward did and look how that turned out? What's your excuse?" he countered with just as much anger in his voice if not a little more.
"Emmett, calm down." Edward said trying to calm his big brother down. "We know you were just doing what you thought was right. And who knows? Things could turn out just fine. I mean, look at me and Bella. Everything's perfect." Everyone remained silent for a while. Then, they heard someone clear their throat. They all wiped their head around to see Diamond's head from behind the corner. She began doing some hand sign language. They all stared at her like she had grown a second head until Esme enter right behind them with a smile on her face.
"She asked if she could talk to Emmett for a second." They all looked at her. "I took sign language when I was younger. Didn't think I'd ever need it. Seems to come in handy."
"She asked if she could talk to me?" Emmett asked a little confused. His confusion grew when she chuckled.
"Actually, she asked if she could talk to the big teddy bear over here." There was silence. Everyone stared at her. Then, there was a fit of laughter. Both Edward and Jasper were practically rolling on the floor in laughter. Esme was holding onto the wall as she laughed as well. Emmett just huffed and marched over to Diamond.
"What's up?" he asked. She just looked down at the floor before attacking him in a giant hug. When she let go, she bow. "Arigato." she whispered. She took a pause before translating, "Thank you." and walked back to her brothers. Emmett was frozen the whole time as were the rest of the Cullen's.
