"Who are you?" I heard them ask, at least three times. I didn't answer for a while, then I decided that I would give them a story they would buy.
"I am Maryann" I started, quickly thinking about the rest of my story. The blond boy was still holding my wrist. It hurt me to be so unwelcome and it made things more difficult for me because I had to focus stronger to black his powers out. Touching is always very encouraging to power.
"Jasper", the boy with bronze hair said gently, "Release her". I glanced at him thankfully and he smiled, holing his hand out to me "I am Edward". Relieved I took his hand and he shook it. Somehow he seemed to know what I was thinking; he did exactly the things I wanted him to do: He welcomed me and made me feel safe. But he couldn't be able to read my thoughts, he simply couldn't. I blocked every power out, I knew that.
"So tell us, where do you come from?" asked a woman, who later introduced herself as Esme. She was nice but I didn't trust her. I trusted nobody.
"From Seattle, I lived there for a while and decided to change group…" Should I tell them about the rumours that they were 'vegetarians'? I shouldn't have worried so much because they all introduced themselves and Carlisle started talking about it himself. I nodded when he told me, that they didn't attack humans. But eating from animals didn't seem to be right for me either…
After having seen how eating something alive looked like I doubted that I could ever taste blood again. Pete had stormed towards Jenny and glanced at me for a brief second before he bit her. Blood had been everywhere but I couldn't move to help her. I had wanted to, I swear, but I couldn't. Suddenly there was this girl, Anastacia, from Jenny's class, and she was moving towards the two of them. I screamed at her, yelled to stay back and I think this got Pete's attention. He looked up, his eyes wild and he jumped and got her.
It was too late for Jenny. I still couldn't move, but when Pete was done with Anastacia he returned to Jenny, as if keeping the best for the end. Knowing that with Jenny the same was about to happen I pulled away from that strange feeling that captured me and ran. I didn't want to see that.
"Are you okay?" Carlisle asked and I nodded slowly.
