"Hanna? Are you okay?" Alex asked as he came into the house, finding her up-side-down on the couch.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Hanna snapped.
"When did you get here?" Alex asked.
"About 3, a few minutes after school ended."
"Why aren't you at the bookstore then? Aren't you supposed to work today?" He wanted the conversation to keep going.
"I quit. There's no reason to go anymore. I haven't gone in a long time," Hanna ground out, wanting Alex to just drop it.
"Oh, well if you need anything, just ask." Alex smiled fatherly and walked off.
Hanna sighed and shifted her position on the couch so that her entire torso was hanging off the couch, only her legs holding her up so that she didn't fall on her head.
Hanna sighed again, only in annoyance, when she heard a car on the driveway. The purr of the car sighed to an end as the driver turned it off and got out. She winced when a sugary sweet smell overcame the house.
The intruder knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer the door.
"Hanna, do you want to get that?" Alex yelled from the kitchen.
"No, not really," Hanna snapped back.
"Well, someone's in a pleasant mood," Alex hissed sarcastically. She heard him go and open the door. "Ah, if it isn't the Cullens themselves!" Alex exclaimed. Damn, Hanna thought to herself, what do they want?
"Hello Alex. Good to see you again. May we come in? There's something we need to discuss with Hanna." Carlisle's voice floated into the living room as Alex let them in.
"She's in the living room. Make yourselves at home," Alex went back to kitchen and let the Cullens find their way around.
Edward was the first in the living room. Hanna glared at him up-side-down. Edward ignored it. Next was Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Esme, and finally Carlisle.
"You know, the blood will rush to your head," Alice chirped.
"Well, it'll suck if I die from hanging up-side-down," Hanna snapped. She was not in the best of moods at the moment, and having seven vampires walk into her house didn't help at all.
"Hanna, sit up and stop being childish," Carlisle sighed, sitting next to Hanna and helping her sit up. In return, she scooted away from him and hugged her knees to her chest, her heart aching strangely. Esme came up and hugged Carlisle from behind, sitting down as well. Rosalie, Alice, and Emmett sat on another couch, while Jasper and Edward stayed standing.
"What do you all want?" Hanna whined. "Can't I just live one cycle without dealing with vampires?"
"Then you've gotten all your memories?" Carlisle asked. Hanna nodded.
"That's the only reason I'm not afraid of having seven vampires in my house," Hanna explained. Rosalie snickered.
"Hanna, can I speak to you for a moment? Outside?" Edward pleaded. Hanna's eyes flickered to him, then back to Carlisle.
"No." She snapped.
"Come on-" Edward began.
"I said no. I'm not ready to talk to you or your brother at the moment." She said in the same tone.
"And what brings this on?" Esme asks, her eyebrows raised. She looked at Edward and Jasper.
"Jasper attacked her at school. He got angry because Hanna killed vampires in her other cycles, and now she can just live a human life, as though it never happened," Alice explained.
"Hanna-" Edward began.
"Fine," Hanna barked, getting swiftly to her feet and walking from the room and outside.
Edward was beside her in a second. He swept her into his arms and ran. Not slow like humans do, but fast like a vampire and Hatheran, carrying Hanna miles in just a minute.
"Now they wont hear us," Edward smirked and set Hanna down, whom stumbled backwards upon being let go and leaned against a tree.
"What the hell! You don't just pick up a girl and carry her away without her consent!" Hanna yelled, blood rushing to her cheeks.
"I need to explain Hanna. It's hard for me to show feelings to anyone at the moment. Not long ago, I was in love with Bella Swan. I left for her safety, and she came and got me to come back from Italy. But instead of staying with me like I had assumed, she went and stayed with a guy named Jacob Black. He's a shape-shifter, I assume you know about them. Tanya and Alex are shape-shifters. I kept telling myself it was for the good, but I just couldn't feel the same for anyone else. Hanna, I'm trying to feel again. Can you at least let me try?" Edward pleaded.
"You know, you really suck at apologies," Hanna snapped.
Edward stepped forward so that there was hardly any space between him and Hanna.
"I'm sorry," Edward breathed.
"You know, you shouldn't get so close," Hanna murmured, watching Edward's lips move. Said lips curved into a smile.
"And why is that?"
"We could have another incident like in the hallway. You could get too carried away."
"Doubt it," Edward chuckled.
"We'll see," Hanna breathed and reached up, pulling Edward down towards her.
After several seconds, the kiss was already getting carried away.
Someone cleared their throat and Edward was farther away from Hanna then she liked.
"Who the heck are you?" Hanna asked, staring at the topless new comer, peering at Edward. Edward looked ready to lose his cool.
"Jacob Black, at your service," the new comer mock-bowed, smiling at Edward.
"You stink," Hanna growled, plugging her nose.
