Twilight #5: Say It, Out Loud. Say It.

It was a cold afternoon. Diamond was standing in the middle of the field behind the school; the Cullen's a few yards away. She looked at them and they all looked at her. Slowly, she walked towards them. It seemed as if time stood still as she walked right passed them. They knew she wanted them to follow her and they did.

IN THE FOREST

When Diamond was sure that they were deep enough in, she dropped her backpack and took a few more steps before stopping and waiting for them all to circle her. Once they were all spread out, she began to talk.

"You're unbelievably fast, and strong. Your skins are so pale white and as cold as ice. I've never seen you eat or drink anything and everyone says that you never come out when the sun is." She made sure to look at each one of them in the eye. "How old are you all?" she asked. As she looked at them all, they each gave their own ages. "How long have you been that old?"

"… Awhile." Edward said. There was a brief silence as she gave a humorous chuckle.

"I know what you all are." she said after some time. They all tense somewhat and their eyes hardened.

"Then say it." Rosalie snared.

"Out loud." Alice said gently.

"Say it." Edward almost snapped. She turned towards Emmett with a calm expression and said with the utmost confidence what she knew.

"Vampires." She spoke. Their eyes hardened even more.

"Are you afraid?" Alice asked. Diamond looked at her before turned to Jasper and looking him in the eye.

"No." was her answer.

"Then asked us the most basic question;" Edward spoke up. "'What do we eat?' "

"You won't hurt me." she said confidently. Emmett stared at her for a while before he walked up to her and started pulling her. "Where are we going?" she asked as she saw everyone follow without a word.

"Up in the mountains; you need to see what we look like in the sun." Without another word, he slung her over his shoulder like a rag doll and began to run to the top of the mountain.

AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

They got to the top in around 30 sec. flat. He dropped her on her feet and turned her around to look at Jasper as he unbuttoned his shirt and walked into the sun. It took only a second for his skin to start glowing like diamonds.

"Beautiful." she unintentionally whispered. He frowned at her before buttoning up his shirt.

"Beautiful? This is the skin of a killer." He gave a sad chuckle before walking away. She and everyone followed close behind.

"I don't believe that." she said, stopping them all.

"That's because you chose to believe the lie that you see." Emmett commented from behind her. She turned and found him walking towards her. "Everything about us invites you in; our voice, our face, even our smell." He gave a humorless chuckle. "As if we would need any of that." He was suddenly a few yards away to her right on top of a tree in the blink of an eye. "As if you could outrun us!!" he shouted. Again he ran and was suddenly right behind her. "As if you could fight us off." He whispered as he picked up a piece of a fallen tree with ease and through it a few yards away into another tree. Diamond didn't flinch once. She just watched as the old bark shattered into a million and looked back at him. "We're the ultimate weapon."

She gave a humorless chuckle herself before looking him in the eyes and replying, "I don't care."

He stepped closer to her and whispered, "I have killed people before." He had expected her to be frightened, even just a little, but no such luck.

"So have I." came the reply he and everyone were definitely not expecting. She hopped off the little log she had been standing on and began her journey back to the school. The vampire family soon followed her as well, their faces and demeanors still in pure shock.
