Hey guys this is some more of Edward's journal – hope your all enjoying it let me know what you think!!
Awakening:
When I woke up from my fiery torment, I looked around to see that Esme was missing. I went in search of her, all my senses were alive I could see everything so clearly and I could hear impossible things. I heard Esme down stairs sobbing, my heart caught in my throat what had she found? As I thought about running my body was already in motion and I was next to my mother within seconds. I couldn't understand what had happened to me.
I placed my hand on my mothers shoulder and she hissed at me, not a millisecond had passed and she was no longer there instead she was on the other side of the room in a strange position still hissing at me. I called to her and recognition finally set in. She flew to me and cuddled me saying over and over again how happy she was that I had survived.
The smell finally caught my attention – I was attracted to it but it smelled slightly off I couldn't make any sense of it. When I looked over her shoulder I saw what was the cause of her sobs, there lying broken beyond repair was Amelia and Benton. The smell was coming from them my mouth was salivating I felt disgusted with my self. It was then that I discovered that I had a gift – that I could read peoples minds. I remember clearly that Esme had thought sorry for me as she too had the same reaction to my brothers and sister. I asked her if she had spoken she of course hadn't. After we tested my ability with her thinking things and me telling her, she had asked me rather sheepishly whether I could hear anything from my brother and sister, after all we had survived maybe they had.
I shook my head indicating that they were both gone, she began sobbing again. In that moment I could sense other minds waking, from upstairs, the others. I grabbed Esme and ran with her to my parent's bedroom. It was there that the rest of my family was reborn.
After the initial hissing and protective stances, sense seemed to return to us all. Carlisle could not understand what had happened to us, after we all discussed how great we all felt – fast, strong, improved senses and the constant burning in our throats. Alice had her first vision then, which she later said was clearer than she had even seen one. We had our answers after that vision – I having seen it also was able to tell Carlisle that Alice had seen us hunting down a herd of elk and feeding off their blood. He theorised that we were now vampires.
Wow now vampires? Seriously, they were vampires no freaking way! Then again until recently I did believe in ghosts but still doubted their existence why not throw vampires into the mix. I readjusted my position, the journals now reading more like a book than a diary of a person's life.
So we went to recreate Alice's vision; it didn't go exactly to plan. She had another vision as we left the house but it was fuzzy which made her really mad. I have never been scared of Alice but as a vampire she didn't look like someone I would want to upset. We ignored it thinking it might be because she was hungry.
We let our senses guide us we caught a scent that didn't smell very nice but it wasn't human so we hunted it regardless. This was the path we as a family were supposed to go on so we would do it. We ran so fast it was freeing, we stopped just metres from out prey. It was clear from everyone's thoughts that no one knew what it was but as Jasper so delicately put it
"Hey it's got 4 legs, its animal lets eat already" I couldn't have agreed more.
I won't go into the details needless to say it was very messy, we hadn't drunk much before Jasper jerked away from the animal screaming to stop. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions but they weren't his, I could tell from how they were shown in his mind. That was how we found out Jaspers ability – he could feel the emotions of others around him.
We all stepped away from the animal, as we did it began to shake and where was once an animal now laid a boy. Not long after that we were confronted by a huge pack of the animals; they appeared as if out of nowhere.
And I found that I could read their minds. They were all planning to kill us, saying that we had killed many of their tribe. I knew that this was not us to I tried to plead with them. I explained our story, Esme weeping as I did, she collapsed onto the ground when I spoke of Amelia and Benton. Carlisle comforted her as I continued to explain about Alice's vision and that we had no idea what the poor boy was.
They agreed that our scent did not match the one that had been in their village but if they boy died they would kill us. Carlisle thinking quickly offered his services as a doctor. They agreed to come back to our home so he could treat the boy name Billy.
After many hours Carlisle exited his study and gave us the news – I already knew but I remained silent. Billy would live thankfully.
