2. Interrogation
Why didn't I see this coming? I thought to myself, angrily. The same thing happened to Daddy. And Jasper, Emmett, Rose, and Alice. Why didn't I see this coming! I had to think of a plan fast. I couldn't puke, I hadn't eaten anything! And, worse, it would leave evidence. I wasn't sure what, but I had a vibe. I couldn't go to the nurse, if she felt my hand she would know.
I had a special power. Not all vampires have them. I have the ability to show people what I am thinking with my hand. Stupid, stupid hand. There must be some way I can escape! I can't be here. My entire species will be discovered, and I would be the fault of everything. What would Mom do? But for Mom it was easy. She had amazing self control. Maybe I was half-human, but when I was around blood, my vampire instincts would totally take over.
"Mr. Banner?" I said cautiously, thinking as I was speaking.
"Yes, Renesmee, is there a problem?"
"Um, its just that… I.. I.. I get really queasy around blood, and… it's not pretty." Lucky I had acquired my lying skills from my father.
"Very well then. Ms. Collins, take Ms. Cullen to the nurse's office please."
The wind struck the back of my neck like a whip as I casually walked to the office with Nat.
"Thanks for getting me out of class."
"No problem."
I wasn't sure what I was going to do for an entire 45 minutes. Sit in my car? These thoughts echoed through my head, but my real focus was on vampires right now. I wondered how it was possible I could become so attached to full humans. I had blood flowing through my body, too, but I could also smell and hear the blood pounding of every human around me. I must have some self control from Mom. I thought. Because honestly…–
"Hey, you wanna just go sit in your car or something? It would be easier than going to the office for nothing."
"Yeah, sure." I said, my thoughts interrupted, yet still sprinting about through my head.
We walked to my car. I unlocked the doors and cut the heat on. I enjoyed the silence. I didn't feel that every quiet moment had to be filled with chit-chat. Another trait I had gotten from my mom. Natalie felt the same way. We occasionally rambled about the English paper and the Trig test, but otherwise we listened to the rain pounding against the windshield.
Suddenly, out absolutely nowhere, Natalie asked me about my family. "I've never met your parents before. What are they like?"
I pondered for a few seconds before I put on a casual façade and replied "They're cool. Just like any normal mom and dad I guess."
"Oh."
"I guess it's about time to head to 2nd period."
"Yeah, see you in lunch."
"Bye."
I was a bit concerned on why Natalie would've asked that. We always seemed to be quite honest with each other, which some things were exused, as of my family history, but she had never really asked a personal question like that before. It had always been questions about us, not really anyone else. I had never asked Natalie about her family. We both were only children, I did know that. What am I saying? I thought. I was probably worrying about nothing. I slid out of my car, dragging my feet towards building 4.
