hey guys, my last chapter didn't get nearly as many reviews as I was hoping for :(. Seriously, to those people who read the whole thing then don't let me know what you thought, your killing me. Slowly.

I'm kidding... But really, review.

-a.

My body reacted without conscious thought. My hand whipped in Alice's direction, and the air around her hardened and supported her to stop her fall. I heard gasps coming from all areas of the now crowded room, but they were unimportant to me at the moment. Jasper was at Alice's side in an instant, and I helped him move her to the couch. I could hear the gentle words he spoke to her, "Alice, what is it, love? What are you seeing?"

Edward was holding the doorframe to remain upright as he was consumed by Alice's vision. It only took a few silent moments for her to snap her head back to reality. A wide grin spread over her face as she turned to face me, and I heard Edward's sharp bark of laughter.

"Look's like this is going to be an interesting visit for you, Lucy," Alice smirked.

I felt puzzlement cross my face, and then everyone in the room started talking at once.

"What was—"

"How did she—"

"Her eyes—"

"Is that—"

Emmett's voice boomed over the others, "Quiet!" silence ensued and he sighed in exasperation. "Much better. We can talk like civilized people now."

Carlisle's amused expression lightened the mood of the startled room, "Shall I show you to your rooms?" he addressed the newcomers. "I'm sure you have plenty of questions for me."

"Wait," the breathtaking boy spoke. His voice was hypnotic and beautiful. His lips were no longer scowling, but his eyes were narrowed at me. I frowned. I didn't like the fact I could no longer see them clearly. "What's her problem?" he nodded in my direction.

I felt my eyes narrow slightly, and I raised my chin defiantly.

"And her eyes are weird."

My breathing accelerated. I hated that he had immediately noticed how different I was. He saw right through me. I felt my dislike build towards this angelic face.

"She's special," Carlisle said calmly. The beautiful boy rolled his eyes. Carlisle spoke again, "She also feels no thirst for blood."

The boy's eyebrows lifted slightly, and he turned his depthless eyes toward me. "What a freak," he mumbled under his breath.

That statement pushed me over the edge. It was not intended to hurt me truly—I knew that—but he had no idea that he had just poured salt in the gaping wound of my insecurities. I felt the irrational anger pulse through my tiny body, and I was surprised at its strength. Wind whipped through the room, knocking over a lamp. My hand flashed to still the air around it, freezing it mid-fall. I set it gently on the ground, then focused my attention back on the beautiful boy facing me. His face was calm, which infuriated me. My ghostly hands wrapped around his neck, locking him in a chokehold. He did not fight the invisible vice as it lifted him slightly off the ground. He raised one eyebrow at me, and I shrieked and stomped my tiny foot in exasperation. I threw him to the ground and took off out the shattered glass wall, running full speed toward the welcoming forest.

The wind ran with me. It wound its way through the trees like a living organism, and I felt its anger mingle with mine. Loose leaves were whipping around my face and tangling in my hair. I reached a small clearing, and I skidded to a stop by a tree that had a large knot hole embedded in its trunk. I cocked my head, estimating its size as I listened to the wind whipping through the leaves above my head. It was a soothing sound. I climbed into the small hole, and I grimaced apologetically as a multitude of small bugs began to crawl out. I was a predator to them.

I began to focus on the unruly wind around me. I called it to me until it was whipping only around the tree I was sitting in. I could see the whirling leaves circling the tree as I formed a tiny tornado displaying my anger and hurt.

After an immeasurable amount of time, the wind outside my tree slowed as my anger faded. I frowned as I peeked outside the hole and saw a figure standing in the clearing. I shifted the wind around the person and realized it was only Alice. I ceased the wind's movement entirely and sighed as the leaves fell to the ground.

"You've got a little temper haven't you?" she asked softly.

I climbed nimbly out of the knot hole and landed quietly on my feet. "I'm so sorry. That was incredibly rude of me," I sighed and tangled my fingers together.

"You were provoked," she said. I could hear the smile in her voice. I heard her cross the small meadow, and she began plucking the leaves from my tangled strawberry blonde curls.

I looked up from my hands with curiosity in my eyes, "Alice, what did you see? When you fell, what was it?"

She grinned widely, and mischief played in her eyes, "Your just going to have to wait and see!"

I moaned. I was not one for secrets.

She cocked her head to the side, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway."

My curiosity raged as we ran back to the giant house. I paused outside the door, regretful of my actions. I had not made a very good first impression.

Alice noticed my hesitation. "Don't worry, no one's angry with you," she encouraged.

"How long was I gone?" I questioned cautiously.

"Oh, just a few hours. It's about seven now."

I looked up at the dark sky. It was impossible to guess the time in this clouded town. I sighed and entered the house. I could here Carlisle speaking to someone in the kitchen. I felt around the corner and ran the air over the shapes, realizing he was speaking with our guests, with the exception of the irritating brown haired boy.

"Where is he?" I asked bitterly.

Alice giggled, "Upstairs with Emmett. I'm pretty sure our brothers talked some manners into him after what he said to you."

I felt touched at her casual inclusion of me in the family. I hugged her small body, "Thank you Alice, for everything."

She squeezed me tightly and whispered in my ear, "Edward wasn't just trying to make you feel better earlier. You really do belong with us."

I smiled at her, wishing with every fiber of my being that I could believe the words she had just spoken.
