S.P.O.V.
I was practically giddy! I didn't kill him! I screamed joyously inside my head. I'm sure jasper was weirded out as to why I was suddenly acting like a normal teenage girl. For example, giddy beyond all reason, giggling like mad, and singing random songs inside my head to block out my thoughts from my mind reading older brother. Perfectly normal. I giggled to myself again.
He was actually really nice; I'll admit that he was crazy at the least. Approaching a vampire all by him self when his blood was more appealing than anyone else's. He didn't know that but dormant human instincts normally told them to avoid us. I just shrugged this off and entered the cafeteria practically skipping. When I saw my family giving me strange looks, all except for Bella of course, who was smiling.
She always understood me, which was one of the main reasons she was the closest to me of all my sisters. I smiled at them and waved to Bella as I waited in the lunch line. As soon as I had my "lunch" I walked over to their table and took my usual seat between Bella and Jasper.
" Hi!" I said enthusiastically to everyone as I looked around the table. Most of them were still gawking at me. This made me self-conscious. " What?" I asked innocently. "Why are you all staring at me like that?" I accused, and scowled at them all in turn. Alice was the first to snap out of it.
"Um… Sam, I can't see you. Is there a reason for that?" She questioned. God, I felt like I was on trial or something. I let out an exasperated sigh.
" Alice, I'm not Edward. I have no idea what goes on inside that spiky little head of yours. If your having trouble with your visions go see Carlisle or something." This was getting really annoying. Edward spoke next.
" There's nothing wrong with Alice's visions!" He was practically snarling at me. I was really getting ticked now.
" Then what do you think happened? I all of a sudden became non-existent? I haven't done anything Edward!" Even though our entire conversation was in whispers my voice was starting to get more agitated and was getting louder by the word. This was bad. I'd never really lost my temper before and I had no clue what I was capable of…
Then I smelled him again and stiffened.
This sudden stop in my rant did not go unnoticed by my family. They all stared at me, some with concern, and others (cough Edward cough) with skepticism. I quickly stood up with my tray and stalked over to the trashcan and dumped it. My family didn't follow me out as I exited the cafeteria. Only Edward and Bella knew why I was acting this way. Just because I hadn't killed him this morning out in the open air of the hallways did NOT mean I wouldn't be extremely tempted to in a small, enclosed, and warm place with only a few other weak humans around. They would be so-
I stopped that thought before I could finish it. I would not be a killer. After finding the Cullen's I swore I would never take another human life.
-Flashback-
I was running through streets of down town LA on my way home. I was crying my heart out. My boyfriend had just broken up with me after a two-year relationship! I wasn't watching where I was going and I ended up in a dark street I'd never been on before. I looked around and started to get scared. Then someone came out of the shadows and started walking over to me.
"Lost little Girl?" he whispered in a horse, rasping voice. Then I saw his face in the light of a street lamp and he gave me a sick smile. I cringed away and felt like running for my life, but I couldn't move. Those piercing red eyes were hypnotic and I was frozen stiff.
"N-no. I-I'm not lost!" I tried to sound confident, but my voice came out more of a terrified squeak.
"Is that so…?" he asked, then chuckled to himself. " Well, I'm sorry about this girlie. It's nothing personal… but I'm just. So. Thirsty." And before I could even scream he had sunk his teeth into my neck. I could feel my life slipping through my fingers, I was so close to succumbing to the darkness that I barely felt the burning running through my veins. And then, he was gone. I looked around with what little strength I had left. Then there was a sudden blaze and a figure silhouetted by the flames. The dark figure seemed to notice me then and he began to come towards me but in that instant we were both consumed by a plume of purple smoke and I surrendered to the darkness as my heart slowed to it's final beat…
-End Flashback-
I remember that after I realized what I was, I had kept to the forest. Occasionally I Would feed on a stray hiker. I was so sick with what I was that I had nearly starved myself to…well, Can vampires die from starvation? Anyway, after a year or two I came across the Cullen's while they were out on a hunting trip. They had seen me and taken me in. I had been too weak to object but as soon as I smelled blood I freaked out and wouldn't let them anywhere near me. I refused to drink human blood! It was then that I noticed their eyes were not the usual ruby color of nomadic vampires that I'd run across. Carlisle had explained about their "vegetarian" lifestyle. I'd been with them ever since, immediately connecting with Bella as a big sister figure and Renesmee as my best friend. Why was I reminiscing so much today? I never liked to remember the night I changed. I shuddered at the thought.
"Hi there Sam! What's up?" Said a voice from behind me. I had been so lost in my thoughts I hadn't noticed the footsteps behind me, or the dry aching in the back of my throat. I whirled around at the sound of his voice. My family may not have followed me out, but Jeremy had.
"OH, uh…hi, Jeremy." I stuttered in surprise. It was then that we were in a deserted hallway. No one was around, and I had to desperately fight with the monster that wanted to drink his, ever-tempting blood. I had to shake my head slightly to clear it of those thoughts. "Uh… not much really, homework. Boring." I rolled my eyes to make it look like I was Dying of boredom. It was all part of the show, I guess.
"Yeah, I know what you mean! These teachers think we've got nothing better to do than school work!" He was really cute when he was frustrated… STOP THAT SAM!! SNAP OUT OF IT ALREADY! I screamed at myself " Really. So what do you do when you aren't bored out of your mind?" I questioned, smiling teasingly at him.
WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO HIM? YOU SHOULD BE GETTING OUT OF THERE!
SHUT UP! I'M TALKING TO A SUPER CUTE GUY WHO'S NOT TERRIFIED OF MY BROTHERS! STOP BUGGING ME!
Edward must think I'm insane.
" Well… I Go out Hunting with my dad every other weekend or so, I'm not the best at it yet seeing as I just started a year or so ago, but I'm getting better. I also love to listen to music."
"Really! That's all I do practically! My sisters think I'm insane for just locking myself up in my room at night and blasting my stereo. But whatever, I don't really care what they say. Oh, Sorry. I'm rambling."
He Laughed. WOW… he had a contagious laugh. "No, no! I don't mind. Honestly. I find you… interesting." He said.
At that I laughed. He looked embarrassed. "Yeah." I said. "Girls love being told they're 'interesting'" I quoted him. How come it was so easy to talk and joke around with him? The thirst was even easy to ignore when I was talking to him.
He blushed then, trying to make excuses but I cut him off. "Calm down Jeremy! Ever heard of a 'joke'?" I asked. He grumbled something unintelligible and then the bell rang. Had we really been talking that long? We quickly said our goodbyes and hurried off in opposite directions towards our classes.
