Chapter Four: Are You Crazy?

JPOV (Juliet)

Soon! She'll be home soon! I tell her that her future just disappeared and all she can say is I'll be home SOON. How do I know she's not dead? Hurt? Dead and Hurt which is just ridiculous but I'm stressed here.

Mom came upstairs with the soup and crackers. She felt my forehead and asked, "how are you feeling, sweetie?" I smiled and said, "Better. I'm much better, thank you".

I had a vision and looked at mom. "Say 'hi' to grandpa for me," I said. Mom was opening her mouth to ask what I was talking when her cell phone rang. "Hi dad," she said giving me the same confused looked she always gives me when I tell her the future.

"Dad, Juliet said to tell you 'hello… Yes, it is shocking how she always knows…I promise I will ask her," she said walking out of the room.

Five hours later, Claire's future became clear to me again. She was back in her car and she looked shocked, happy and confused. She would be home in fifteen minutes.

I walked downstairs and out onto the front steps, just as Claire's car pulled into the driveway. I flung myself into her arms. "You're okay! I was so worried! Don't you ever do that to me again!" I screamed hugging her.

She pulled me into my room and explained everything that had happened. She explained how Seth the Shape Shifter had imprinted on her and how they are now eternally bonded. She explained vampires and shape shifters.

If I had of been anyone else, I would have thought she was crazy. But I could see her respond now. Then again, my gift supposedly doesn't exist either and yet I still see the future.

The next morning I went to school knowing Edward wasn't there. I looked at his future and got a glimpse of him sitting in a very snowy place. He ran away to another spot. Somewhere that had worse weather then Forks.

At lunchtime I looked over at the Cullens' table and they looked back at me with various expressions. I ignored them and went off to biology.

The week went by long and slow. Claire spent her free time with Seth and his pack of shape shifters. Through the time she spent with them, she learned, I can't see her when she nears them. It's like they block my power or something. I don't like not seeing my sister. It makes me uncomfortable but I'm getting used to it. It's like a glimpse at what being normal is like. And I don't like normal.

Then Monday rolled around and Edward was back in school. I went to my classes like normal. I stood outside the biology room, avoiding going in. Knowing Edward was there. I noticed his sister Alice and his brother Jasper were standing close. I took a deep breath, popped some Gravol into my mouth and stepped into the classroom.

I sat beside Edward and took a deep breath, noticing that Edward wasn't constantly changing his mind anymore. He wasn't glaring at me, in fact, he was going to talk to me.

"Hello, I didn't introduce myself last time. I'm…" "Edward Cullen, I know. Everyone talks about you and your family," I said smiling.

"I'm Juliet Monroe," I said knowing he was going to ask for my name. He laughed and gave me a funny look. "Do you like the weather in Forks?" he asked. I shrugged. "I'm not really a fan of rain, snow or other wet weather," I said quietly.

Edward let out a small laugh and I knew what he was going to say next but I let him say it. "Then why did you move to the rainiest place in North America?"

"My mother moved us here. She wanted us to spend some time where our father grew up. Since he died she's wanted to be closer to where he grew up" I said quietly.

After biology I went to gym class. I love gym. I always know where the balls are going to land, making it easier for me to catch them.

After school I went with Claire to La Push. I was going to hang out with Seth and Claire.

The first thing Seth said when I gave him an awkward hug was, "you stink". Wow, I really wish I had seen that coming.

"Umm, that's nice!" I shot back. He laughed and said, "no, I mean you smell like vampire".

"Okay, let's get the talk of vampires and get back to the hotty you were talking to in biology. What's his name?" Claire said happily. At one point during biology she walked past the classroom while I was talking to Edward.

"His name is Edward Cullen," I said, hopping I didn't sigh his name. I hated admitting it but I was in total crush mode.

"You should stay away from him you," Seth said angrily. "Why?" I asked quietly. Seth's face became real serious all of a sudden. "Because, he's a vampire. He and his family are vampires. They are vegetarians. They don't feed off of humans but still".

I went home that night and started thinking. He's just saying that. Then I had the vision. The vision that changed my entire perspective on vampires.

Edward was standing in the woods. Then he sniffed the air and started moving at a speed that up until know I thought was impossible for even the world's fastest car or rocket. He ran over to a mountain lion and lunged the monstrous cat to the ground .He bit down on its neck and drained the cat dry.

"Oh my god!" I exclaimed. Claire ran into my room, half of her blonde hair in curlers the other half was hanging loose. "It's nothing, Claire. I just saw the hideous outfit mom's going to wear tomorrow," I said quietly.
