I went out to my car and began to drive. Around the time that I reached Forks, I noticed that my car was starting to make funny noises before it stopped entirely. It turned that I had run out of gas…in what appeared to be the middle of nowhere.
I began to walk through the woods to look for someone who could possibly help me find. I probably shouldn't have driven there. I heard noises and decided to warm up my hands in case I needed to defend myself. I looked and saw someone leaning over a dead deer and appearing to…drink its blood. It was a vampire. I then noticed it was female with a familiar head of hair. Wait a minute…
"Alice?" I asked.
She lifted her head, knowing that she had been discovered. I remained ready to attack and that was when she noticed my hands. This wasn't quite how I expected I would reveal my powers to her. She did not look like she was about to attack me. She looked pretty calm, though she distraught over the fact that I had figured out her secret. I powered down and began to walk toward her slowly.
"You're a vampire." I stated. "So this is why you were talking about them earlier."
"Yes I'm a vampire but what the hell are you?" She asked.
"A mutant, a special person, my daddy's personal science experiment?" I replied as I fired a bolt of electricity at the deer carcass. "I hope you were done with that."
"So are you really not afraid of me at all?" She asked as I shook my head. "And your lightning…this wasn't any of my visions."
"Visions?" I responded as she nodded. "So you're a vampire and a precog? That's a little bit unfair."
"Well we're supposed to be superior to humans." Alice explained. "But I didn't know that they were humans that could do stuff like that."
"There are a lot of them actually." I replied. "There's actually…never mind."
I stopped before I told her about the company. That's not something that I want anyone to know about, including vampires.
"So is this why you never eat?" I questioned.
"Yeah I can't really eat food." She answered. "We don't have a functional digestive system so there's nowhere for the food to go except back out the way that it went in. Blood is all that we eat."
"But why exactly are drinking from…that?" I asked, pointing to the charred deer.
"We only drink the blood of animals so we don't have to kill humans." Alice stated. "What are you doing out here anyway? We are you out in the woods? I thought you were going to the beach."
"I left and I ran out of gas." I replied.
"Take me your car." She instructed.
"You got something on your face." I remarked, first noticing the there was blood around her mouth. She took her sleeve to her mouth.
"Blood comes off." She said.
We walked through the woods and out to the road where my car was. The streets didn't look very busy.
"Get in your car." She told me and I did so. I didn't know why. Suddenly the car started moving. I looked in the mirror and noticed that she was pushing it. "So you're super strong too? That's not fair."
"Yeah also fast, eternally young and I have enhanced senses." She added. She didn't seem to using much effort. "Turn the steering wheel to the left here."
I did so and noticed that we were at a very large house. It looked a little bit like one of those castle things that I had read about but at the same time pretty modern.
"What is this place?" I asked.
"This is home." Alice said. "There's some gas in the garage but you're welcome to stay a little while if you want."
"You're letting me meet your family now?" I asked.
"I didn't really want you to know that we were vampires and I was pretty sure that Emmett would blab about it." She explained as she opened the door and ushered me inside. It looked really nice. Why did she have such a nice house? "I'm home!"
"And you've brought company." A woman said. She had long brown hair and gold eyes like the rest of them. "You must be Elle, I've heard so much about you. I'm Esme."
"Pleased to meet you." I remarked. "This is a nice house."
"Thank you." Esme responded. "So you and Elle are friends, correct?"
"Yes." I answered. I couldn't help but wonder what she meant by that. I thought it would be pretty obvious.
"I think I'm gonna show her my room." Alice said. She apparently was using the same technique that I used on Uncle Charlie. Alice took me up the stairs. We passed several rooms before reaching one that said ALICE on the door. Wouldn't have guessed that this was her room.
Her room was very nice. There was a flat screen TV, a stereo, a couch, a bookshelf and a really nice looking bed. It made my room look terrible. I felt pretty jealous of all of the nice stuff that she had.
"I take it from your silence that you are impressed." Alice stated as I noticed that I hadn't said anything. "I know I have a pretty amazing room."
"I almost expected to see a coffin." I said.
"There's no need for that." Alice remarked. "We don't sleep."
"But...you slept over at my house…you were sleeping." I babbled.
"I was faking it." Alice responded. "It's something that I perfected when I was at boarding school."
Before I could respond to that, the door flew open. In popped Naomi.
"Finally!" She remarked. "You finally brought her home. What took you so long? No wait don't tell me. Really, you're singing a Miley Cyrus song in your head?"
"So this is my sister Naomi." Alice introduced. "She can read minds if you haven't figured that out."
"I'm also her favorite sister." Naomi added. "Who gets upset when she doesn't tell me things?"
"I found out about the whole blood sucking thing." I told her. "Well more like I caught her in the act."
"She was walking in the woods while I was feeding." Alice explained.
"You know people generally tend to stay away from the woods around here." Naomi said. "There are bears and cougars after all."
"I don't think they would have bothered me." I boasted.
"Elle's not like most humans, aside from her behavior that is." Alice replied. I rolled my eyes as I started to create some sparks with my fingers.
"You know Alice really wanted to go to the beach with you but she couldn't." Naomi remarked.
"Yeah she told me that she had to work at the hospital." I responded.
"Well there was that." Naomi said. "But also the Quileutes have a problem with us on their land. There really isn't much reason for that. We've never done anything to anyone."
"You were one of the ones trespassing on their land in the first place." Alice pointed out. I was confused by that definitely. It sucked not knowing what was going on.
"In case you're wondering, which I know you are, this family hasn't always been one unit." Naomi explained. "Carlisle changed me first and adopted me because my mother had died. Then there was Esme, and then Rose, then Emmett, and finally Alice and Jasper joined. The two of them were not changed by Carlisle. Jasper was changed by a woman named Maria during the Civil War and we don't know about Alice."
"You never told them anything?" I asked Alice.
"It would kind of hard since I don't know anything either." Alice confessed. "Being a vampire is all that I know."
"So am I going to meet all of your family?" I asked.
"That would depend on how long you stay." Alice answered. "Naomi, Esme, and I are the only ones here right now. Oh wait, Emmett just walked in."
I heard him running up the stairs. He opened the door and ran toward me. Feeling threatened, I instinctively sent a bolt at him which knocked him to the floor.
"What the fuck?" He asked. "That actually hurt."
"Well you do look kind of threatening." I pointed out. "So naturally I chose to defend myself."
"Wow this one's a livewire." Emmett remarked. He looked over to Alice and gave a stupid grin. "Good choice. I'm gonna call her Sparky."
I shocked him again. "Only if you like that happening." I warned him.
"Who knew humans could be so temperamental." Emmett remarked as he left the room.
"So that was Emmett." Alice said. "We don't think he ever fully matured."
"I heard that." Emmett replied.
"When I imagine that being mauled by a bare could really mess with a person's psyche." Naomi remarked. "He is actually pretty lovable when you get used to him."
"So what does Emmett do?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" Alice questioned.
"I mean you have precognition and Naomi can read minds, what does he do?" I clarified.
"Nothing really." Naomi answered. "Alice, Jasper, and I are the only ones who have extra abilities."
"What does he do?" I asked.
"He has the power to sense emotions." Naomi explained. I knew of people like that. "And manipulate them."
"Now that's one that I've never heard of." I responded. "How does that work?"
"He can make people feel things. But mostly he uses it to calm people." Alice explicated.
"So do you think that I could get that gas now?" I asked.
"Are you ready to go already?" Alice whined.
"Well I probably should go home to talk to Uncle Charlie. He should probably at least know that I'm alive." I joked.
"You know you could always call him." Naomi pointed out. "Maybe you should spend the night here. That way you would get to meet everyone."
"Well I promised Angela and Jessica that I would go dress shopping with them tomorrow." I remarked. "I don't wanna cancel on them or anything. And I do really want to go to prom."
"I didn't see you as the type to go to prom." Alice remarked.
"Well it seems like a pretty high school thing to do." I explained. 'I just want to feel normal after my daddy kept me locked up all of those years.' Wait, there's a mind reader in the room. I probably should not have just thought that.
"What did your dad do to you?" Naomi asked. Yup definitely shouldn't have said that.
"It's a long story." I replied.
"Well why don't you start talking." Alice suggesgted.
So it looks like Elle forgot the first rule of being around telepaths. I also made it so her electricty is somewhat effective on vampires. And don't forget Alice being completely awesome in this chapter. Please don't forget to review
