"What's going on?" I asked bluntly.

I saw them look around the room at each other, debating. Finally, Muscles (as I preferred to call him in my head) said, "She's going to find out eventually."

The blonde chick turned on him angrily, "Well now she is, Emmett!"

I think I knew what they were talking about. Because, obviously, theses people were freaks. No dip. But Muscles had just given me the perfect reason to bring it up.

"Look I know you're all…" I searched for a good word; fighting the urge to use 'freaks' "Different."

Jasper looked up, suspicion clear in his eyes. "How much do you know?"

"How much do you think I know?" I tried. But I had a pretty big feeling that this wouldn't work on them.

"She doesn't know. Not much anyway." Edward said dryly.

Psh, good job giving yourself away, Eddycakes. I thought loudly; like I was talking to him. He looked over at me.

"Dude, how many kinds of stupid can you be?" I asked, incredulous. "Okay, one down, Mr. Gullible over there, can read minds." Everyone in the room looked at me like I had horns coming out of my ears or something.

"Looks like she's gonna figure it out, one way or another." Bella had said this.

"Probably." I answered.

"Well, you see…" Edward started but was cut off by something I couldn't hear. Everyone turned towards the stairs. No, they turned towards Sarah. I told myself. Then, in unison they turned towards me.

All of a sudden Jasper Mc. Scary Pants was up in my face, "You stay here." He said, in the most threatening voice I had ever heard.

"Jeez. Got it." I said. Forget their hospitality, that was mean of him.

Then, just like that, they all got up and started to walk out of the room. They seemed to be moving just a little too quickly. And their motions looked stiff. Like they were struggling to not move faster.

"Forget it." Edward mumbled. "She knows we're fast."

And then, just like that, they were gone. I was alone. And I was really curious as to what was happening to Sarah. She wasn't screaming. So that seemed like a plus. Unless she was… dead.

I sat their for about four seconds before I decided that sitting here was definitely not the thing to do. My hands were shaking like crazy and I got the same crazy feeling I had, had right before I had… um… exploded. I sat on my trembling hands, just so I didn't have to look at them.

That didn't work. It just made me antsy. So I tried figure out what was going on. I started by turning on the weather channel. The television said that it was about three in the afternoon. And Carlisle hadn't been lying about the date. I looked at the forecast: Rain, rain, rain… Lots of rain. Gross.

I decided that, since they didn't want me following them upstairs, I'd just have to find another way to see into that room. I started to walk out the front door but though better of it; remembering how they had all turned to the sound that my ears couldn't hear. Super hearing? What kind of people are they? I looked to the open window. I doubted it would make as much sound as walking to the door.

I started to climb out of the window but the rain had made the ground all muddy and soon I was soaking wet and up to my knees in the brown nastiness. (Ha ha, brown nastiness.) Oops! My mind ad wandered again.

My bare feet felt good on the mushy ground, though. I started to look for a tree to climb up when a tall, mostly naked, freakishly strong, guy came up. He looked Native American, but you could never really know for sure. I was Native American and I was more Caucasian than incest, Kentucky marriages.

"Who are you?" I asked, not looking at him, but instead paying attention to the tree I had found.

"Seth, I found you and your friend the other day."

"Oh. Well, gracias." I answered. I had found a nice limb and was staring to climb.

"What are you doing?" He asked. Sounding half-amused, half-worried.

"Trying to see Sarah. Casper, or whatever, told me not to follow them." I said, matter-of-factly.

"I thought Jasper said to stay where you were."

I stopped dead. This massive kid was someone I definitely would have noticed in the living room. They must have called and told him I was trying to see her.

"Stupid mind reading, poop hole." I mumbled and gave up with the climbing. It only took one look at Seth to see that, if he wanted me out of that tree, he wouldn't have a problem with pulling me out of it.

"Where to boss?" I asked him.

"Well, they mostly just wanted you out of the house." He said, looking uncomfortable.

"You mean, away from Sarah. Right?" I asked.

"Well… yeah." He said, giving up trying to hide it.

"Hmm. I don't want to go too far away. But I definitely don't want to stand in this rain. Any ideas Mr. Seth?"

"We could go hang with Jake and Nessie." He offered.

"Um… sure." I said slowly, having no idea who these people were. Or what kind of cruel person would name their kid 'Nessie'.

"Okay, c'mon!" He said excitedly. And with that, he grabbed my hand and trailed me off in the direction of a sweet, little cottage.

This house was straight of a fairytale. No joke. I couldn't help but wait for seven dwarves or something to come strutting out.

We walked inside. His, too eager, hand still around mine. There, sitting on a little sofa deal, was the dude who had been a giant dog, and then turned into a man. I got one look at the guy and jumped behind Seth's massive body.

I could hear the laugh vibrating though Seth and It only took me half of a second to figure out why. Oh, I did that too. I turned into one of those… I struggled to find a good word, things, and I'm a person now. I suppose Seth does that too, since he said he'd seen me the other day. Maybe everyone here does that?

I snapped back to reality and stepped out from behind Seth. I even stood a little bit in front of him to show that I wasn't afraid. Well, not anymore.

"Sorry." I said, embarrassed. They both just told me it was okay. I decided that I liked these dudes pretty well. They kind of felt like brothers.

A/N: Sorry, lame ending to this chapter, I know. But I'm just posting it now to get it out of the way sooner. How do you guys like this? Do you have any suggestions? Since I can't read your minds, maybe you should review and tell me lol. =]

Paz,
