A/N: This time, I'm asking for 5 reviews. I haven't gotten any for the previous chapter. I will still give you a sneak peek at the next chapter if you write me a review. If I don't get these reviews, you won't have another chapter until next Saturday. I don't want to wait a week to update, but I will if I have to.

Chapter 6

After my discussion with Carlisle, I could tell that everyone had noticed the change in my mood. Thankfully, no one decided to ask me about it, though they were all wondering what the cause was. I decided to ignore them and put on a façade of being happy. I may have overdone it though, since they were all still suspicious.

"Come on, people," I whined. "I thought we were gonna go play baseball. Let's go, let's go, let's go already."

"Impatient much," Alice asked me.

"Only a little."

10 minutes later we were all in the field and split into 2 teams with Esme umping. (A/N: umping refers to the action of being the umpire in baseball or the referee in other sports) The game went by quickly because of our speed and strength. My team beat Emmett's 37-23. Emmett, having had his ego bruised, challenged my team to a re-match after my newborn strength wore off. I accepted the challenge with a laugh knowing that Emmett's brawn could never outplay my strength and planning that I gained from working at a woodshop. If his ego hurt now, just wait until I didn't have my newborn strength.

When we got back to the house, everyone wanted to watch a movie, so I suggested Saw II. I put it in the DVD player and, since I'd already seen it, watched everyone's reaction. I never thought that it was possible for a person to actually turn green, but when I looked at Bella, she looked like the Wicked Witch of the West. I'm not kidding. That's how green she was. I was sort of expecting her to turn an olive color, which is the color most people turn when they see someone's throat get cut. Me? I laugh. Like a hyena. I'm not kidding. Aside from me, everyone else looked extremely disturbed. Edward doesn't count though. He was too busy comforting Bella while watching my reaction to pay any attention to what was going on during the movie. Boy, I tell ya. Sometimes that guy gets a little creepy.

To lighten the mood, I stopped the movie and asked Jasper to tell the story of my first hunt. He willingly obliged.

I must say, I was impressed by Jasper's story-telling ability. He made my hunt sound so much more exciting than I thought that it had been and everyone laughed at my McDonald's comment. Since I had been on that hunt, however, I decided to just sit back and let my mind wander. It didn't get to wander for very long before it was interrupted by someone's thoughts. It didn't take me long to figure out who's they were: Edward was staring right at me throughout the story. Every time Jasper said something that I felt was even slightly exaggerated, I refuted it, and I just kept hearing Edwards's thoughts.

She's so modest. And so talented. She doesn't have any right to be this modest. I wish I could tell if she were genuine or if everything that she's shown is simply a façade. Someone that modest has to be genuine though. If only she weren't so confusing. The only person I've ever found to be this difficult to read is Bella and she was easy compared to this. I'll bet Getty is a good person. She's probably very outgoing and confident. I know if Jasper were to praise Bella like this she'd be beet red by now. Which means Getty is also probably fairly arrogant. She has to be. I've seen some of the stuff that she's made. And that bow. You can't be that good at a trade and not be arrogant. And she probably would put herself before others a lot of the time. She seems to know enough about surviving to have some sense of self-preservation. And yet, she seems so down-to-earth. I wish I could understand this girl.

I felt really uncomfortable listening to Edward's thoughts. I knew how much Bella loved him and she would be crushed if she knew that Edward was thinking things like this. But that's not really something that you keep from family. And I could definitely think of Bella as a sister. Speaking of Bella, it was at this moment that I heard another person's thoughts.

Getty's a good hunter. And she's probably a really nice person. She's so talented and not arrogant at all. I bet she'd be a really good friend. I just hope that, if she hears anyone's thoughts that might hurt me that she would tell me. If I got to know her better, I'm sure that she and I could be as close as Alice and I are. Except I doubt that Getty would play the Bella Barbie game.

I saw Bella shudder at this thought. She must really hate this so-called "Bella Barbie game". Whatever that is.

I still can't believe she managed to stay clean while hunting. I've never known anyone capable of doing that. I wonder what she thinks of all of us.

At this point, I became overwhelmed by thoughts and decided to go outside and get some air. Maybe set up a target and practice or something. As I was pulling my bow out of the case for the second time today, I noticed that someone was watching me. Before I could turn around to rudely ask whoever the hell it was what they wanted, I heard a thought. And the "voice" didn't belong to any of the Cullens.

So they have another… Aro, Caius, and Marcus will not be pleased. Fortunately for Jacob, Edward seems smitten with this one.

I turned around sharply to go back inside when I bumped into Edward.

Why didn't I know he was there? Whatever had that thought said that he seemed smitten with me. I feel like such an idiot.

"Hi," Edward said, clearly nervous.

"What do you want," I asked rather rudely. I couldn't help it. I was just sort of annoyed and concerned. I have a tendency to turn into a bitch when I'm annoyed. Usually when I'm hungry too. Or I guess it'll be thirsty now. Gotta get used to this vampire shit.

"First to know why you were so rude just then. It seems out of character for you. Secondly, to know everything about you."

"I'm sorry I was rude. I'm just a little stressed and worried right now. And you're hugging me…"

"Yeah…?"

"Why?"

"I have no idea. And are you going to tell me everything about you, or what," he pressed.

"Firstly, I will tell you about me later. Second, I know that you are never this get-to-the-point or blunt about anything. I'd actually heard you were quite eloquent. What brings on the bluntness? Thirdly, will you get the hell off me?"

"Sorry," he said, sounding offended and hurt. "You didn't strike me as the type to be this rude."

"I told you earlier, I get this way when I'm stressed or pissed." He was certainly exasperating.

"In all honesty, I have no idea why I'm being so blunt. There's just something about being around you that makes me want to be blunt. I try to be eloquent, but everything I say just slips out blunt and sarcastic. I never have problems with this around other people. I think there's something about you that makes people act the way you do. You even have an effect on Alice. It's weird."

"Thanks," I said sarcastically. "I need to go back inside. It's getting too awkward out here for my comfort level."

As I walked in, Jasper was telling everyone about my encounter with the bunny. "When she finished it off, I was rolling around on the ground in hysterics," he was saying. "I couldn't even form a coherent sentence to talk about it with her."

At this point, everyone was laughing and giving me looks that said "Bunnies…?"

In between fits of laughter, Emmett managed to choke out "Why… do… you… like… the… blood… of… bunnies… wuss?... You… are… so… going… down… next…year."

"Ask Alice," I spat. "Remember when she had that vision before we went hunting? She saw my prey of choice."

"Geesh…," Emmett began once he had stopped laughing enough to talk normally. "What bit you in the ass? You're all happy giggly when you leave and then you turn into bitter bitch."

"None of your business, Emmett. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough though. Carlisle-" He looked up. "Your office. Now. We need to talk."

A/N: I'm going to write the next chapter tonight. I've decided that you guys need to be bribed to review. I know I get enough hits that asking for so few reviews is not outrageous. If you give me a review, I will send you a quote from the next chapter. I expect 5 reviews before posting the next chapter. I don't think that's ridiculous. It won't take you that long to write 50 words telling me what I did well and what I could improve on. Seriously people. I have the next chapter written now. It's already uploaded to my account. It's just waiting for those 5 pretty reviews that I asked for. I will put it up just as soon as I get those. I've had more than 5 hits on this story today already. You could have the next chapter right now, but it's up to you whether you get it tomorrow or in a week. Just R&R for me.
