I burst into the next room and immediately jumped back in shock. The sight in front of me was nauseating. It was a good thing that I could control my thirst because the whole room smelled of blood. In the center of the room was an operating table and on the operating table lay the boy from the forest. Even when he was on the table, writhing in pain, with sweat covering his body I marveled at how beautiful he was.
Around him stood a group of male vampires who all looked like teenagers except for one. The older one seemed to be in charge and I guessed he was a doctor because he seemed to know what he was doing. The only person who was out of place was a girl who looked vaguely familiar. She definitely wasn't a vampire.
The second she saw me she started shaking.
"That's her" she growled menacingly above the chaos.
What? How did this girl know me? I'd never seen her before.
"Leah, calm down. Edward says that she means no harm" warned the doctor.
Now I was even more confused. Who was Edward?
The doctor handed his instruments to one of the vampires and gave him a quiet instruction.
"I'm Doctor Carlisle Cullen" he said, addressing me. "I know that you're probably really confused but we need your help. Edward tells me that you have the power to change DNA".
He indicated to the boy. "We think that the reason Seth is so sick is because he imprinted on you but vampires and werewolves are natural enemies".
"Wait, he's- Seth's a werewolf?" I exclaimed using the boy's name.
"Not really. More of a shape shifter" Carlisle explained. "We just say werewolf because it's easier".
I took a deep breath. "Then what's imprinting?" I asked.
"It's sort of a natural way that werewolves find their mates. When they see someone who is a perfect match for them they sort of bind themselves to the person and there is no way to stop the process".
I gasped. "Did Seth imprint on….. me?"
"Yes. We think you can use your power to remove the sickness from Seth if it is in his DNA. Do you think that you could do it?"
I thought for a minute. "It shouldn't be too hard if it is just in his DNA. If it isn't there then I don't think that I will be able to do anything though".
At that moment Seth let out another pained scream.
"Do it!" shouted the girl.
I walked up to Seth and closed my eyes and put my hands on him. That was one limitation to my power- I had to be touching the person for it to work.
When I focused I could sense the problem immediately. It was as if two parts of him were clashing. Using all of my strength, I corrected it. Only then did I notice that everything was suddenly very quiet.
I opened my eyes and saw Seth staring right at me.
"That was amazing" Carlisle admitted from behind me "I've never seen such an amazing ability".
Seth seemed to be absolutely fine. He wasn't writhing anymore, he had stopped sweating and he was even awake. I couldn't believe what I had just done.
