"Okay then," I found myself saying. "Talk."
She looked a bit startled by my fast comment, by she came around quickly.
"Would you mind come over to our table? My friends are the one who really have what to say." She said with a shaky voice.
What did they tell her about me?
"I'm not going to hurt you." I felt the argue to say.
"I know." She said. And somehow I got the feeling it's not because she trusted me, but because her 'friends' wouldn't let it happen. What am I getting myself to?
She stood up, waiting for me to do so, and went back to her table.
I realized that people were staring. And now it wasn't because I was new or because of a rumor, but because of the table I was heading towards.
When I was closer to them, I could see how they look from a normal distance. Next to that guy that sat near Bella in class sat a short girl. She was pale, like all of them, and also had the same golden eyes. Her hair was black and short, and she look a little pixie like. Next to her sat a blonde guy, who looked extremely stiff and uncomfortable. On the other side of the table sat another girl, blonde one. She was tall and really impressive. Next to her sat a big guy with black hair and a lot of mussels.
They were all staring, waiting for someone to speak. Bella looked a bit uncomfortable like the blonde guy but open her mouth to speak.
"So everyone," She was talking to them. "This is Lena Duchannes."
I nodded. Feeling a bit weird, like I was being scanned.
"And Lena," She looked at me. "Those are the Cullens. This is Edward," she pointed the guy who sat next to her in Biology. He still stared with that same look. "This is Alice," She pointed the black haired girl who looked excited from some reason. "This is Jasper," She pointed the blonde guy. He just looked at me in a blank expression. "This is Rosalie," She pointed the blonde girl, who frowned at me at the sound of her name. "And this is Emmet." She pointed the big guy, who looked amused at the entire situation.
None of us spoke yet.
"Well?" She finally said to the Cullens. "You wanted to know."
"Know what?" I asked annoyed, not sure if I'm getting the situation right. Do they really know what I am?
"We got the feeling…" Edward started, not sure how to persuade. "That you are more then what we can see."
This is going to be tough.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I said, still not sure how to do this.
"This is stupid." Said Rosalie after no one answered me. "Let's just get this over with."
Edward and the others looked at her. No one knew what and how to say it, so I decided to jump in.
"You want to know the same thing I do." I took a deep breath. "Do any of us are really like all the other mortals in this room?"
They were all caught up on the word 'mortals', and I knew that I hit the right spot.
"Mortals?" this time it was Bella. Everyone ignored her.
"I'm guessing that the answer to that question is no." said Alice, looking even more excited.
"So the real question is, what are you doing here and why?" Said Edward with almost an angry tone, putting his arm on Bella.
Are they…?
"I'm-" it took me by surprise. They don't know what I am. "Nothing… I just needed to get away for a while."
"From what?"
"Everything." I thought about Ethan. What was doing at that moment? Does he missed me like I miss him?
"Come on guys, this is just not getting' anywhere." Said Rosalie again angrily.
"Okay look," I said. "I'm not looking for any troubles. I was just looking for fresh start so I won't have to think about the fact I basically broke the world. I'm just gonna leave." I turned and started walking away.
"Broke the world?" they were all set back. I turned to them. "What are you talking about?"
"Why do you care?" I was angry. My plan for running away from my troubles wasn't working very well.
"Because you are not human and we want to know what we are facing." Said Edward with a harsh voice.
I looked at him and he stared back. "What do you want then?" I said with a little voice.
There was a change in his look. Suddenly he looked like he felt bad for being mean or something.
"If you could just tell us what are you, because in all of my hundred years I never met something like you."
They can't be my kind. They would have known.
"I'll tell you if you tell me." I sat down, crossing my legs. "Deal?"
"Deal." He agreed. "You go first."
I sighed. "Well, I'm a caster. You?"
"What like a witch?" asked Bella. She looked intrigued. They all did.
I looked at her. What does a mortal do with those creatures? The same thing Ethan was doing with you, said a small voice in my head.
"Not really," I said. "Calling us witches is like calling smart people nerds. Not the same. Yes, we use magic, but the same magic we use so does mortals can."
"Are you saying-" she started but I cut her off.
"You shouldn't. Horrible things happens to mortal who use magic. For them, magic always comes with a price."
"So you said you broke the world?" Edward asked.
"Sort of…" I felt the guilt rising in my guts. "When a caster turn sixteen, he needs to choose to whom his powers will be claimed, the light or the dark, and when a caster turn dark he changes. He will never be the same." They looked fascinated. "But in my family there is a curse. All the females in my blood line can't choose, when we turn sixteen we are being claimed to each one of them, and can't control it."
"So you are about to be claimed?" Said Rosalie, stopping me. "And you're saying you brought it here?"
"No." I said, annoyed again. "I'm seventeen. I was already claimed."
Alice gave her a look to shut her up. I didn't think they realized how young I was until now, while they have hundreds of years as advantage. "So you are light then, right?" she said.
I wanted to say yes. "No."
They froze, all looked ready to defend Bella and themselves at my word."
"Are you dark?"
"No."
"Then what the fuck are you?" said Rosalie.
They waited for my response. I took another deep breath. "Both."
"So if it is possible, I don't get where the problem is." Said Edward, still looking defensive over Bella.
"It's not, and because of what I did, the order of things changed, there is no balance now, everything gone wild." I paused. "And it became really hard controlling my powers."
"What did you do?" they weren't following.
"I'm a rare kind of caster, a Natural, I wish I way less complicated like a siren or something." I stopped to catch my breath.
"And because my powers are stronger than of the average caster, I broke the cycle."
It took them a few seconds to process what I said.
"So what does it mean being a Natural?" asked Alice.
"I control nature. The weather, the elements… But these days my power are so out of control I really have no idea what I am capable for." I looked down, suddenly feeling tired.
They all wore an emphasized expression. Maybe except Rosalie who just looked bored.
"And your family doesn't accepts you?" Asked Alice, looking sad for me.
"Oh no, they totally are. I'm afraid I hurt them and..." I looked at Bella and the way Edward hugged her.
"I just can't stand my eyes when I look at the mirror anymore." I changed the subject, they had no business knowing about Ethan.
They were surprises about the sudden change.
"They are brown, what to hate about that?" asked Bella with an offended voice.
I smirked. "Brown isn't really the color of my eyes."
"Sorry to break it to you darling, but it is." Said Rosalie sarcastically.
I stared at her angrily and a sudden lightning bolt stroke the sky accompanied with a loud thunder.
I twitched in my seat. "Sorry."
They all looked amazed.
"Damn, that was awesome girl!" Said Emmet with a laugh. It made me feel better, and I gave him a weak smile. Rosalie didn't look very happy with how he acted.
"So what is it about your eyes?" asked Alice.
"I casted them to look brown because otherwise I would drew too much attention."
"How come?"
"Light casters have green eyes. Dark casters have golden eyes. I'm both." As I said it, I muttered the counter cast again. I could feel the contacts melt, and sew the look on their faces.
"Damn…" muttered Jasper. It was the first time he said something.
"It has been like this since my sixteen birthday. I hate it."
"I think it's beautiful." Said Bella.
I smiled at her and muttered the cast again.
"Well, that's my story. I believe it is your turn." I said, expecting.
They all looked at each other.
"Your right." Said Edward. "We are vampires."
I raised an eyebrow. "Like blood incubuses?"
"What?" He looked taken back, as all the others.
"Like mythology vampires. There are a lot of them in the dark side of my family."
"You're kidding." He said surprised. They all looked at each other.
"No. My uncle Makon is one. But not a blood incubus, he feeds on mortal thoughts and dreams."
They looked at each other.
"We need to take her to Carlisle." Said Jasper to the others. They all agreed.
