I stood staring out the window as the sink continued to fill with water.
"Erm... Quinn? The house is going to flood in a moment." My Dad said.

I snapped back into reality and quickly turned the tap off.

"Sorry." I said, smiling sheepishly at him.

My Dad put down the newspaper and I could feel him staring at me as I washed up.

"Is everything OK? You have been spaced out since I got in from work." He said a genuine concern in his voice.

I turned and smiled at him.

"Perfect." I replied.


Jess was looking at some lip gloss as I stood behind her, not really paying much attention to anything she was saying.

"I really think pink is more my colour, don't you?" She said.

I wasn't looking at her and I wasn't really 100% sure what she had just said to me. Jess poked me and I finally looked at her.

"OK seriously, you have been acting weird all day. What the hell is going on?" She said, hand on her hip.

I opened my mouth to reply but no words came out.

She raised an eyebrow at me.

I just stared back at her not able to think of anything at all that would make sense as to why I had been out of my mind since... since finding out Edward was a vampire.

I just smiled at her and she sighed.

"Pink?" She said, holding up the lip gloss.

I nodded obediently.

We left the make up shop and Jess was still blabbing on about something to me.

I carried on walking not listening to a single word. As I turned to look at Jess she wasn't there.

I looked around and she was standing 10 feet behind me, both hands on her hips.

"You are annoying me so much now Quinn Fabray. Will you please tell me what's bothering you?" She said.

"It's a long story." I said, walking towards her.

"Whatever it is it must be important you have said 5 words to me all day. Have I done something wrong?" She asked.

I shook my head quickly.

"No you haven't done anything. I just... I got a lot to think about." I said.

"Do you want to go home? You clearly don't want to shop." She said.

I nodded.

"Sorry Jess." I said.

"It's fine. I got my lip gloss it wasn't a complete waste." She smiled.


I threw my handbag to the floor and slumped down onto the couch.

I put my head back and stared up at the ceiling.

The thing was I was thinking about anything. Not even Edward but for some reason I was... not with it.

Suddenly the phone rang making me jump.

I leant over and picked it up.

"Hello?" I said.

"Quinn baby how are you?" My Mom's voice came.

I smiled to myself.

"I'm great Mom, how are you?"

"Oh I am fine. I'd be better if my daughter contact me once in a while."

I bit my lip.

"Sorry." I said, feeling guilty.

"Its fine I am sure you have been major busy with all your new friends. How's Forks?" She asked.

"Erm... it's good. I am actually having a good time in Forks." I told her honestly.

"Oh." My Mom sounded disappointed. "How is everything... you know? You not having anymore nightmares."

I bit my lip even harder.

"I had a couple but I haven't had any in a while." I lied.

I heard her sigh down the phone.

"Mom, I'm fine. It was when I first came here but everything is absolutely fine now." I said, trying to sound positive.

"I know honey but I do worry about you." She said.

"It's fine." I repeated.

"All right, well I thought I would check in on you. I'm off to work so speak to you soon baby OK?" She said.

"OK. Love you Mom." I said.

"Love you too." She said. And the line went dead.

I sighed as I put the phone down and stared back up at the ceiling.


The little girl glided over towards and I looked deep into her red eyes.

"Are you Quinn Fabray?" She shouted at me.

I couldn't think of anything but the pain soaring through my whole body.

I screamed out as the cooling effects began.

"Someone fix this now. It's not time." The little girl ordered.

A tall man with the same red eyes raced over towards me.

I screamed again.

The man grabbed my arm and sunk his teeth in the same place where the other man had bitten me.

I watched him wide eyed as the pain that had filled my whole body slowly went away.

The little girl smiled and fear swept over me.

I quickly opened my eyes and noticed I was still in the living room but it was dark.

A blanket was now wrapped round me and I looked over to see it was 1:00am.

I sighed and clamped my eyes shut tightly.

No more nightmares I told myself.

Forks is supposed to be making you forget about all this!

I pulled the blanket off me and made my way to my bedroom.


My Dad had left for work early which he rarely ever did on a Sunday so I was fending for myself for something to eat.

I opened the fridge door but didn't really pay much attention to what was inside.

Giving up I made my way into the living room and saw someone standing outside the house that I recognised.

I walked outside and shut the front door behind me.

"Jasper?" I called out.

Jasper turned to look at me. He smiled.

"Hey Quinn." He said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him, smiling as I did so.

"Erm... helping out." He said.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You'll need to elaborate on that." I said.

He laughed slightly.

"I have the ability to control emotions so I am helping to calm you. Edward said you have been a bit stressed." He said.

I looked at the floor.

"A bit is an understatement." I said.

But his calming effect must have been working.

"Anyway you don't have to stand outside and do it, come in and keep me company." I said, motioning him to the house.

He raised an eyebrow.

"You sure?" He asked.

I nodded.

And he followed me inside the house.
