a/n sorry to say, I won't get much done lately…I need to earn money, and FAST! And a lot of it…plus school starts up again this week…-sigh-
Face Down
He opened his eyes and showed that he was a vampire, his eyes were red.
The red eyes wandered, looking at me, then Carlisle, then everyone and everything else in the room, but they always seemed to come back to me.
"Hey," I said, to break the silence.
He only smiled back at me. All the other Cullens crowded around him, and Emmett grabbed him. A second later, he tried to escape, explaining why Emmett had grabbed him.
"Stop! Wake up! Stop hunting!" Carlisle said to him.
He soon calmed, and I found that I was glad he hadn't killed someone.
Esme left, and some how closed the glass door, but that wasn't important now. Emmett soon let go of him, but he and Jasper stayed near the new vampire, close enough so if he tried to run, they could hold him back.
"Look, you're a vampire," Rosalie said, curtly.
The boy looked stunned.
"Don't mind her," Edward said.
"But she didn't lie," Carlisle told him.
"Then wha-" whatever he meant to say, he couldn't get out.
"Wha- what?" Emmett asked.
"What happened to my wife?" He said.
I felt a pang of jealousy, though I didn't know why. There was no reason to.
"We couldn't save her, she was dead on impact," Carlisle said sadly.
He seemed to sigh in relief, which was odd, considering he just got that news. I decided that I'd venture out later and ask him about that.
"If I'm a vampire, why don't I have fangs? And why are we awake in the daylight?" He asked. Most people took it worse, I heard, more like, panic, not asking questions.
"Well, both are myths. No vampire I know has fangs, and vampires can be awake in the daylight, and sunlight, there's no problem. We just sparkle," Carlisle explained.
"Am I afraid of crosses?" he asked.
Carlisle laughed, and pointed at a huge cross, that looked to be around four hundred years old. The unnamed man looked, and laughed too, when he realized why he was looking there.
"Do vampires really need to drink blood, or is that another myth?" he asked, laughing.
The mood suddenly got really serious, something to do with Jasper, I'm guessing, and the man looked confused, for about a half second.
"I do, don't I?" He said.
"Yeah, we all do," I said.
"Does it have to be human blood? Do I have to kill them if it does have to be human blood?" he asked, almost as fast as Alice had the first time.
"No, and yes," Carlisle said.
"So, I can drink animal blood instead?" he looked a little happier.
"Yes, but you still have to kill them, they'll die anyway, if you drink some of their blood," Carlisle told him.
"It's extremely hard though, years of practice and you still will want human blood," Edward told him.
Bella seemed to lean toward him a bit.
"Oh…" the unnamed guy mumbled.
After we were sure he got what he was and everything, we were ready to get onto other, just as important, issues. WHO he was and is.
"So, what's your name?" Alice said, always perky.
"Ian."
"Tell us anything about your life?" Jasper asked.
"Um, later, I just want to get used to being a vampire a bit first." He said, then tried to stand, and felt odd that he went super fast.
"You'll be like that for a while, but soon you'll learn how to go at normal human speeds as well as vampire speeds," Carlisle told him.
"Oh, ok," Ian said, and glanced at me.
Once everyone had left, except me, he practiced a bit at slowing down. Then Carlisle came in again.
"You need to go hunting, both of you," He said to us, then told us where to go, and had Emmett and Jasper join us.
Emmett stayed with Ian, teaching him how to hunt, and Jasper stayed with me, as I hunted animals, already knowing because of how I hunted humans. I tried many different types of animal, and though none were as good as human, a few big carnivores like lions, seemed to taste great.
"Looks like your favorite is lion," Jasper said, when I took a liking to lions.
"I guess," I mumbled.
When we finished, we ran back with Ian and Emmett, and we all talked more with Ian.
"We need to tell you a few more things, some of those are about some of the vampires here," Carlisle said, then looked at Edward, Jasper, and Alice, "Edward can read your mind."
He was interrupted by a rude comment from Emmett, "So never think Bella, his wife, is hot, he'll probably beat the venom out of you!"
Carlisle ignored him, and told Ian of Alice and Jaspers powers. He looked sort of in awe, at all their powers, but not really amazing at them.
After being told how they found out about powers, and more, the little chat was almost done.
"One last thing," Carlisle started, "We would like to know if you want to join us, and be a vegetarian vampire."
He looked really happy to have this offer, but then sobered up a bit, and looked at me.
"Are you?"
"I don't know if I will or not…They never told you, but I'm biologically Alice's niece. I was just changed after her, by a long time."
He seemed to take that information well, and turned back to Carlisle.
"I think I'll stay as long as she does."
a/n wow…that was another…longer than I expected chapter…I know this one probably stunk
