Chapter 20: A Secret Destination
when I came out of the closet christopher was laying down on my bed looking at some sketches that id drawn. the particular sketch that he was looking at was an elaborate sketch of my guitar.
"you draw?" he asked.
"yeah…a little. im not that good." christopher scoffed.
"are you trying to be modest?! people would pay a lot of money for the art that you do."
"im sure they would." i replied sarcastically.
"oh, wait till I tell alice." i narrowed my eyes." you wont believe me."
"your opinion is biased." i said.
"we'll see about that." i growled a little and my stomach replied. christopher quickly turned over and burst into laughter, as if the bed could quiet it down. it sounded muffled.
"shhhh!" i hissed," my mom is still sleep."
"well, lets go before i wake her up." her said. i walked over to my nightstand and scribbled a note to my mother saying that i was with the cullens if she needed me. i walked out of my room and slipped it under her door. i walked back to my room christopher was back on my bed sprawled out looking at the sketches.
"put those down." i whined.
"are you embarrassed?" he asked.
"no." i said quickly, but my blushing cheeks said otherwise.
"are you sure?"
"let's go." i mumbled. i opened my window and climbed onto my roof. christopher followed suit. i closed the window and swiftly jumped off the roof. i ended on the balls of my feet. a second later christopher was beside me.
"how do you do that?" he asked in wonder.
"its natural." i said shrugging my shoulders.
"natural?" i walked to my car and grabbed the spare key that i left wedged in the tire wall.
"well..... not like that. as in it just happened naturally after the fact."
"natural...." i started the engine.
"yes, christopher, natural." i said. he stared at me for a while.
"what else can you do?"
"i can do half vampire things…"
"like…"
"stuff."
"like?" i glanced in his direction.
"running fast." i said.
"see now when you went hunting you were running very fast."
"of course i was." i said sarcastically.
"no i mean almost as fast as edward." christopher sounded irritated.
"im sorry. im really tired and i havent had breakfast."
"is that why you're headed towards the cullens?" he asked. i smiled softly.
"no. actually i have something to show you." i hadnt been to the waterfall sice ashton's funeral. ever since my father dies my life had turned into a drama.
"what is it?" christopher asked, intrigued.
"you'll see." i pulled into the driveway of the cullens, turned off the car, and got out the car. i grabbed christopher and walked straight across the road.
when i though that we'd gone far enough i broke out into a run. it was practically effortless.
"could you slow down a smidge." christopher called.
"am i going too fast?" i yelled.
"a little." i slowed down to the point that it felt like i was jogging. i tried to listed harder for the sound of falling water. i took a sharp left. i dodged out of the way of a tree.
"do you hear that?" christopher asked.
"yes." a second later i was looking at the waterfall.
