p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"Hello readers! I'm sorry for not writing in a long time, but I was on vacation in Mexico and have recently come back. I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to read my bad writing and my messy story, but this is something I do on my spare time when I'm bored. I'll be going to school again soon, so I don't know how much more I will write, but with it being my last semester in college, I know it will be busy! Thanks again for reading and I hope you enjoy span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"J/span/span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanIt had been a week since the incident had happened and Claire and Renesmee had texted and called me multiple times. They had also come to visit me, but when they did come, they had brought their imprint. Not that I didn't like them or anything, but I wasn't at the stage to open up to them yet. I knew it was bad when David called, telling me Claire had asked him to check up on me. I had not left my apartment, only to go grocery shopping and run errands, but I had not gone up north to see either of my friends./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanI sat there on my couch, not really watching the television. I kept thinking about that night. The pleasure that I got from killing those men and the way I had done it. The way I had easily snapped their necks without placing a finger on them. I was cursed. But the Cullen's called it "gifted."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanWhen I had first met them, they had told me about the different "gifts" each one had possessed. I had controlled my thoughts and avoided thinking about my gift of telekinesis for Claire had already mentioned Edward's mind reading on the ride there. I didn't want anyone to know about mine. I knew my gift was powerful and that people would use me for their own benefit. My father had been proof of that./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanEven though I loved him a great deal, I couldn't forget how he had tested me those first few days and had asked me to do many things like try to read his mind, or hurt him with my touch. He had seemed obsessed with the idea of me having an extra ability like he had. Eventually, his obsession turned into disappointment and he began to search for a good home for me./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanHe had done his job and now I was here, depressed over acting like I was supposed to. I was a hybrid after all. I would never have the normal life like a human just like I would never have the typical vampire life. I would have to decide when I could use my powers and when I could take the lives of others. As long as I was in control, I would be fine./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanGetting up, I decided to go pay Claire and Nessie a visit. I had been a bad friend and needed to go and make it up to them. It looked like it was going to rain, not a big surprise, so I wore my plain jeans and t-shirt. Driving up north, I fiddled with the car, it had been a gift from my father when I had turned five. I remember waking up to the brand-new Corvette and like always, he had sent the gift with a note and red rose./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"Listening to some soft rock, I drove into La Push and parked near Emily and Sam's home. I was getting out of the car when I heard someone yell and sound of things falling to the ground. Rushing to the sound, I came across an older woman on the ground with her groceries lying around her./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""Are you alright? Where does it hurt?" I asked approaching her as she scrunched up her face in pain./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""My ankle!" She said placing her hands on the injured ankle. Squatting down, I took a look at it and determined it was only sprained for it was clear that nothing was broken. Telling her this, I helped her up and practically carried her inside her house and sat her down at the kitchen table./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"Looking at her closely, I could tell that she would have been beautiful in her younger days. She still had the beauty, but the lines of worry around her eyes made her look older and tired. Her brown eyes reminded me of someone, but I couldn't pinpoint whose./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""You stay right here while I go pick up your groceries, alright?" She began to protest about her son coming to help, but I retorted and made her sit. After picking up her groceries and placing them inside, I made sure she was still alright. "Just be careful to not put too much weight on that foot, okay? Your son should be here soon Mrs…."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""Call," She smiled. "Mrs. Call, but you can call me Tiffany. Oh, how I hope my boy finds himself someone as kind as you, sweety."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"That last name rang a bell, but before I could make any connections, I heard someone at the door. Before I could see him, his odor reached my nose and I got nervous./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""What are you doing here?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""Embry! I raised you better than that! This sweet girl went out of her way to help me after I sprained my ankle!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""It's alright Mrs. Call, I should be going anyways," I said retreating. "I hope you recover quickly." And with that, I rushed out the house and headed once more towards Claire's house./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""Sofia, wait!" It was Embry and from the shock, I actually did stop. "Hey," he looked sheepish and nervous, grabbing onto the back of his neck. "I wanted to apologize for how I have acted lately. How I've acted from the start actually. I was an ass and judged you too soon. So… thanks for what you have done… you know with Hannah and my mom."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""You don't need to apologize, I understand," I said awkwardly, playing with my hair. "And it's not like I helped them because of you anyways." I joked and stuck my tongue out./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"After giving me a strange look, he finally smiled. "I bet you're looking for Claire and Nessie, right? They're all at the field with the Cullen's and the Pack, we're all going to play baseball. Want to join us?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""Um, sure, though you will have to show me. I've never played or know the rules."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;""Don't worry, it's a pretty simple game and Esme is always there as the umpire." He said as we began to walk into the woods./p
