Ok I know I've been neglecting updates, and I'm not going to insult your intelligence by making up some stupid excuse, so I'm sorry. This is the next chap. It's late here, I;m tired, and as soon as I've posted this, I'm going to bed. I didn't sleep well last night and I just can't seem to shake this bug I've gotten. Normally, this is where I'd try, and fail, to be funny but, like I said, I'm tired. So, enjoy!
Ps Bella is a bit OOC, just a warning. oh and review!

Edward, Carlisle, Esme and I simply stared at the newcomers in astonishment. What in the name of the good lord was going on? The small and exuberant one, Alice, I think, had bounded in like a pixie hopped up on sugar. She was currently jumping around the room hopping up and down in excitement. Jasper, I think that's his name, simply looked on in faint amusement. Again, what in heaven was going on?
I was the first to come out of my reverie. I started to approach Alice but Edward's arm stopped me. I gave him a disparaging look and he dropped it but insisted upon accompanying me to the strange, pixie-like, vampire girl. I reached her and cleared my throat noisily. 'Um, excuse me, Alice, is it?'
'Yes!!' she exclaimed in response. She was starting to annoy me and I had to grit my teeth in order to keep my temper in check.
'Would you care to explain why you're here?' I questioned as politely as I could muster. She seemed to deflate somewhat at my question.
'Oh, yes. That's right, you don't know.' Could she be any more vague?
'What don't we know?' I asked, annoyed now.
'Well,' she began, 'You see, I'm psychic, I can see the future.'
Alice spent the entire afternoon telling all of us how when she awoke as a vampire, she was all alone, except for her visions of course. She told us of how she had seen Jasper first and went on to find him. Then when she found him, and he had fallen in love with her, she began to see visions of us. It was quite unnerving how she knew all about us, but as I got to know her more, I realised that it was unintentional. She didn't realise that she was making us a bit uncomfortable. In her mind, we already knew each and it was completely natural for her to speak with us as if she had known us forever.
She explained how her visions had shown where we were and our pasts and future exploits. She would not, unfortunately, elaborate on that, as the future was subject to change. She did mention two people named Emmett and Rosalie, but it seemed that it was simply a slip of the tongue, and she refused to continue the subject.
Alice spent the whole day and night explaining everything and giving us the opportunity to get to know her and jasper, as, due to her gift, they already knew everything about us. I began to grow fond of her as she spoke and I knew that Esme, Carlisle and Edward felt similarly. She explained all about her power as a psychic and Jasper's, he was an empath. He could sense and manipulate other's emotions. Maybe that was why we were so accepting of them, I mused. Though I doubted it, they were impossible not to accept. I really did begin to think of them as a brother and sister.
Unsurprisingly, Esme and Carlisle had accepted Alice and Jasper with open arms. This was no surprise to us or Alice, of course. We had learnt not to bet against Alice. On the second week of Jasper and Alice living with us, Tanya, how I detest her, had stopped by for a 'visit'. This in itself was odd. Ever since that faithful day over fifteen years ago, she had avoided our home at all costs. I knew she was up to something, I could see it in her eyes. The girl had real nerve. Alice warned me to keep an eye on her and I was only too happy to oblige. However, I began conversing with Jasper and began so immersed in the topic that I did not notice the absence of both Edward and Tanya. But when I did, let me tell you, I was mad. I knew that the conniving little slut had been biding her time for the last decade and a half, for what is that to an immortal? To lull me into a false sense of security. Or even give me time to put it to the back of my mind. Apparently the little skank forgot what I had told her, those years ago. When I found her, I would tear her limb from limb and, if I was not restrained in time, I would burn the pieces. I doubted this however; I would of course be interrupted before I got the chance. She would of course be able to put herself back together, though it would not be pleasant. Good. But it would be extremely satisfying to tear her apart slowly and agonisingly. To watch as her face contorted in pain. I would not stand idly by while the likes of Tanya Denali, I thought her name in distaste, thought that all she need don in life to get what she wanted was click her fingers. Yes, I grinned, I would enjoy this.
Before I left the room I saw Alice send me a warning look that basically said, don't kill her! Stupid psychic! Finding them was easy enough. All I had to do was follow the sound of the Scarlett woman's nasally voice. 'Come on Edward. She'll never know.' Whoa, déjà vu! Edward's discomfort was palpable. 'No thank you Tanya, I am very happy with Bella. Now please allow me to leave.' Then I barged through the door, eyes blazing. No doubt, I resembled an axe-wielding, homicidal maniac. To be quite honest, I couldn't care less. Tanya looked to see who interrupted with an annoyed expression on her face. When se saw that it was in fact me, her annoyance turned to pure, unadulterated terror. Like I said before, I was going to enjoy this. 'Edward, leave.' I ordered in a voice quite unlike my own. Even he looked fearful and simply nodded before exiting the room. I watched him go before I turned back to Tanya.
'You!' I growled. 'What did I tell you?!' I roared. The spineless wimp simply cowered and shrunk into the wall. I knew that I would receive no answer from her so I answered for her. 'I told you to leave him alone, or I would tear you limb from limb, did I not? Are you short of hearing? Unintelligent? Slow in the mind? No? If not, why did you not listen to me?!' The only reply I received was her pathetic whimpering as she rocked back and forward. 'Stand up you coward.' I growled. She did so, slowly.
As soon as she was upright, I grabbed her by the arms and began to pull on her right arm. I pulled so hard that it snapped off cleanly in my hand. I relished in the snapping sound and her agonised cries. I continued to snap off limbs as slowly as possible. The sound of her breaking bones and snapping skin was music to my ears. She attempted to fight me back, but it was pitiful, really. She tried to scratch and bite me. I mean, really, what was she... a cat? I continued until the only thing still attached was her head. I made quick work of that also and added it to the quivering limbs. She would be okay, she could reattach herself, but it would be verry painful. Maybe that would teach her, Edward was mine, and mine alone! Wait, what?! No, it was to teach her a lesson, that she could not always get what she wanted at the click of her fingers like she thought. Even my subconscious was betraying me!
Alice chose that precise moment to stick her head in, took one look at the heap that was Tanya and said one word. 'Enough.' I agreed. An agonised moan from the floor filled the room. Tanya had begun to reattach herself. This would not be pretty to either the eyes or the ears. Alice and I decided that leaving the room was the best option. We went back downstairs and Alice immediately began to snuggle into Jasper. How I wished that I had that. My gaze travelled over to Edward of its own accord. Maybe, maybe everyone was right. Maybe we should be together. I shook myself, what was I thinking. Edward was my best friend. He had been since I changed him. Besides I was too plain for him. He was gorgeous, and even as a vampire, I was tragically average. I felt a wave of depression come over me; Jasper sent me a quizzical look. Damn house of gifted vampires. Were there no secrets? Oh, well at least Edward could not read my mind.
I decided that the best idea was to go to my room and, hopefully, read. I excused myself and when Edward looked at me concernedly, I simply said that I had things to think over. He agreed, if reluctantly. Everyone knew by now of the Tanya incident, but was not overly worried; she could fix herself after-all. However I knew that Carlisle and Esme were quite disappointed in me. They were extremely gentle creatures, after-all. I felt so sorry for Jasper. My mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Guilt, confusion, depression, grief, embarrassment, the list went on. Did Edward think that my reaction to Tanya was over the top? Did he feel affection for her? Did he guess how I felt? How did I feel!? When I reached the solitude of my room I dived for my worn and familiar copy of 'Wuthering heights.' I had read it so many time that I knew it off by heart, but it was more so a calming mechanism than anything else. I started the first page and sighed in relief as I began to calm down.
I have just returned from a visit to my landlord--the solitary
neighbour that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a beautiful
country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a
situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect
misanthropist's heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair
to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow! He little
imagined how my heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes
withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as I rode up, and when his
fingers sheltered themselves, with a jealous resolution, still further in
his waistcoat, as I announced my name.
I continued to read and finished the book numerous times throughout the night.
The next morning, I came out of my room just as Tanya was crawling out from the room I had left her in. So she had reattached herself then, I hope it hurt, a lot. She threw me a dirty look and I bared my teeth at her in response. She whimpered and continued to crawl pathetically away.
I went to find Edward and ask him if he wished to join me as I hunted. I also invited Jasper and Alice. Jasper was relatively new to this way of life and needed as much practice as possible. Edward and I favoured the mountain lion, while Jasper preferred the grizzly bear. Alice seemed satisfied with a mere few deer, though I was not inherently surprised; she was incredibly small and pixie-like. We finished hunting and returned to the house in a pleasant mood. All thoughts of uncomfortable matters were pushed to the back of my mind.
We entered the living room and immediately knew that Esme and Carlisle had something important to tell us.
We waited anxiously for them to begin. Well, except for Edward, and Alice. Well, I guess it was just Jasper and I then, but you get the point. Carlisle finally spoke, 'Children, we are moving again. It is time to rejoin society. You shall enrol at high school and I shall work at the local hospital. We leave for Forks, Washington, in the morning.'
High school, again. Yippee! (Insert sarcasm here.)
Well? Like it, hate it? Indifferent about the whole thing? Hopefully not that one. review! I hope you enjoyed the long-overdue update. Over the next six days, I'll do my best to update as much as possible. After that it's anyones guess. Sorry. Now I'm going to sleep. Slan leat agus go raibh maith agat. (Goodbye and thank you.)
