I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but I thought that was a good place to stop XD So I'm sorry that it's way shorter then the previous chapters! XD)
The rest of school dragged on, I'm not sure why. It was either because I was getting bored, or the other choice, which I denied to myself, that I was hoping that Jasper would talk to me again.
I mean, could you blame me? I never had any socialism in public, when one of the new students talks to me. Me of all people!
Class ended then, and I jumped out of my seat, walking outside into the chilly air that only I liked.
I waited in the parking lot for Mom, watching the amount of students slowly start to decrease. My eyes fell on the fanciest car here, a freaking Volvo, which surprisingly… ok, unsurprisingly, the Cullen's and Hales slid into.
Even though I don't talk to anyone, it doesn't mean I don't know as much as everyone else. Apparently their father, well, adoptive father, gets a ton of money for his job as a doctor. That had me laugh. In my point of view, if there isn't a doctor that can find a cure for my disease, they aren't worth being called a doctor.
I kept my eyes on the road when the Volvo passed in front of me. I could've sworn it slowed down slightly, but I was probably just seeing things.
When the fancy car was out of sight, I saw Mom's Honda drive into the parking lot, stopping in front of me. She gave a smile, which I returned when I got inside the vehicle.
"How was school?" She asked, turning down the radio.
"Fine, got an A on my algebra quiz," I said, leaving out the part of meeting Jasper. I didn't want her to realize that no one ever talked to me, that wouldn't be wise.
"That's great honey!" She said enthusiastically as we drove onto the road. "You always were smarter then the other kids." I gave a sheepish smile to her. "Oh, and I have to work today, so will you be set to make your own dinner?" She looked at me warily.
"Of course, Mom." I said and rolled my eyes. "I've been home alone before, I think I can handle it again."
She still eyed me, but didn't say anything else.
After a few minutes of agonizing silence, we pulled into the driveway and got out. As I walked into the kitchen to grab a snack, Mom quickly changed and left for work, bidding me farewell.
Even though it was dangerous for me to be home alone, I always preferred it over having Mom hover around me, waiting for any sign that something was wrong. It made me feel like a guinea pig.
I sat down on the couch and flicked through the channels on the TV, nibbling on the end of my banana. I settled on watching CSI Miami and got comfortable on the couch as it started. It was a rerun of Ashes to Ashes, which I've already seen, but there was nothing else to watch.
Right when they were about to say who caused the murder of the priest, the doorbell rang through the house.
I sighed and got up from the couch, going over to the door and opening it.
Jacob stood on the doorstep, his black eyes tight. His mouth was set in a sneer, and his nostrils were flared. The muscles under his skin rippled, and I took a step back.
"U-uncle Jacob… what's wrong…?" I murmured.
An animalistic snarl came from his throat as he took a step forward, and in return I took another step back from him.
"Why do you l-look so angry…?"
Everything suddenly happened in a blur.
There was a horrible tearing sound, and I was thrown back across the room, falling onto my back on the floor. My breath left me in a whoosh when a heavy weight was pressed down on my chest.
I stared up in horror at the gigantic wolf above me, its lips pulled back to show it glistening fangs. It grabbed my arm in its teeth and threw me right through a window that shattered around me, and when I was still flying through the air, I was hit by one of the wolf's massive paws. I fell hard on my stomach, unaware that while I was being attacked, my heart was going haywire, beating too fast.
I felt pressure on my back followed by a sharp pain, and I screamed. Tears fell down my face as I hyperventilated, my heart quickening more and more as I continued to take in too many breaths to fill my lungs that felt like they were on fire.
Suddenly the pressure on my back was gone and I heard horrible snarls and booms somewhere a few feet from me.
But I didn't bother to pay attention, because my vision started to blur and darken as my heart started to slow down, the beats too far apart to be safe.
The last thing I saw before I fell unconscious was a figure walking up to me, and then the darkness pulled me under.
