APOV

Aliénor was prepared for the raid that came down on the bar. It was a prime spot for drug dealing, human trafficking, and illegal pawning. She just had to make sure that only Charlie Swan saw her. And he did. "Hey get a medic! We have a civilian over here!" he yelled. Soon enough I was surrounded by people. They were asking for my name, where I was hurt, how long I'd been out there, and so on and so forth. They figured out I was deaf after I gave them a well practiced confused look. It took them a little longer to find out I was mute. They didn't know I understood them, but ,hey, they didn't need to know. Charlie was with me on the way to the hospital. He didn't try to talk to me, but he wasn't being awkward either. It was nice, and refreshing. In a few more weeks, I'd be living with him. That should be enough time for me to introduce Kailani. Kailani and I have been together for centuries. After my friend Beth died, we found each other. Our lives have been entwined ever sense. I'd been so stuck in my memories that I didn't notice we were already in my hospital room. The doctors and nurses must have already left because it was just Charlie and I. "Hi, My name is Charlie Swan. Can you understand me?" he asked. I could read his mind and read his lips, but the coolest thing was the fact that I could feel the vibrations his words were making. I nodded my head. He looked surprised. I guess he wasn't expecting me to understand him. I motioned for him to sit down. "Do you need anything," he asked me. He was beating around the bush, but I did need food. I searched for my pen and pencil and wrote- food please. He stood and excused himself. Seconds later Kailani jumped through the window.

Is it in motion- Kai

Yes, but I don't want to introduce you until he gets thoughts of adopting me.- Me

Okay, When will that be- Kai

In about a week. He'll be taking some time off to make sure I'm okay- Me

Now I understand why you chose this one- Kai

Yea, but in the next life we totally have to get emancipated and have a life together with Embry and Quil- Me

Hell Yeah! Anyways I'll see you later she thought back, jumping out of the window seconds before Charlie walked back in. "I didn't know what you'd like, so I just got you pizza and a Root Beer,"he said," I'm going to have to ask you a few questions." Go Ahead- I wrote. "What's your name?" he asked. My name is Aliénor, but it's pronounced Eleanor. He nodded, jotting down my answer. "Do you have any family?" he continued. My family's dead, but I have a friend. She got emancipated on her birthday last year. She's going to come visit me next week. I was going to move in with her because she got an apartment.- I wrote quickly. "How can she afford this apartment? Why did she get emancipated?" he shot at me. She owns her own business. She sells her art. it's very popular along the West coast and in Europe. She got emancipated because her parents couldn't accept her. "I see. I see." he nodded. This continued for a few hours. Soon Charlie left and I was left to my own devices. There was only one other thing that needed to be done here. I need to visit Cleo. Cleo is a young girl who has recently discovered herself to be one of us, a Calderian. We are able to see into the future, read minds, change our appearance, control the weather, and replicate other people's abilities. The consequence of us living on Earth, though, is that we become deaf and mute. We are also able to die, but we come back to life as another person, a new person. One of us are born on Earth every decade, so we have grown slowly in number. Cleo is five years old. She will need guidance in how to control herself. I get out of bed, and start walking down the hallway. She's in room 213, right? I opened the door, and was relieved to find her alone. I was actually quite surprised to see that she looked exactly like me. Oh, I see! We're SISTERS! I didn't know I was getting my sister today! The resemblance was uncanny. We both had oval shaped faces, fitted with big green eyes, and plump rose colored lips. We shared our medium length black hair and straight noses. It's going to be so fun watching her grow up. We'll be like twins in the next life. As soon as that thought left me, she looked up, and our eyes met. Hi, I'm Aliénor! She looked confused. So she can't sign. I can teach her!

Who are you?!- Cleo

You know how to send your thought?- Me

Yes! Are you like me?!- Cleo

I am! How did you know- Me

I could ... I forgot the word for it- Cleo

You could sense it?!- Me

Yeah! That's it! Sense it!-Cleo

Okay Cleo! Now I'm going to explain what you are okay! After that, I'll teach you how to sign!- Me

What's 'sign' ?- Cleo

It's like talking with your hands!- Me

OH! COOL!- Cleo

Wait, why are you in the hospital?- Me

Mommy and Daddy died in the car. Auntie Ruth is going to take care of me now.- Cleo

Oh my gosh! That's so... tragic! It's a good thing Auntie Ruth lives in Forks. That means I can hang around Cleo without it being strange. I can still teach her, and show her how to hone her skills. I can be a mentor! Auntie Ruth lives in Forks, right?- Me

Yeah! Are you going to be in there?- Cleo

Yes, I am! That means I can explain everything to you later! You'll be getting out around the same time I do, based on your injuries. That means we can visit each other! I'm only five doors down!- Me

That's GREAT! Bye Bye friend!- Cleo

I was walking out of the door shortly after that conversation. I was so happy to be getting a blood sister! It's supposed to be rare, but I was the lucky one! I can't wait to tell Kailani! We'll be the Three Musketeers! As I walked into the room, I decided to get this weeks rest out of the way. Because I'm basically an alien, I don't really sleep in the same way humans do. I only need 14 hours of sleep a week instead of 42. I can get all my sleep in at one time, and that means I can go the rest of the week without needing any rest at all. It's actually very helpful, especially during the school year. After that thought, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
