Chapter 5

Edward's POV

So this is the beginning of the end for me. I suppose we're not going stay here long so I might as well try to clear my mind of everything now before they start bombarding me with their questions.

I got to the clearing rather fast. It was snowing as per usual. Luckily since I'm light on my feet I hadn't left a trail, but knowing my family and Tanya and her sisters' they knew exactly where I was.

Every so often when I come up here this is where I go whenever I get the chance. It's like my home away from home despite the fact that it's a huge plain covered in white glistening snow.

It's quiet and it looks like it stretches for miles. Once I actually went all the way to the end of the clearing and it led me almost to another state. It was like my own secret spot except my whole family knew about it. It used to be Carlisle's favorite place to visit too, that's how I came to know it. But at times like these Carlisle knew that sharing the clearing would be selfish.

Once getting to the middle, I plopped down on the 5 inch set of snow and then laid down. The frozen flakes fell lightly on my face. I shut my eyes trying to get an even breathing.

Wow. A voice had been thought. At first I thought it was just the whistling from the wind.

Then I heard the crunching noise of snow. I stayed still, thinking it was Tanya or someone checking up on me. Then I got the scent and I shot up. It was something unfamiliar and seemed unwelcoming.

I scanned my surrounding; staring down every single tree that was in my perimeter. Then I caught sight of something running from tree to tree. It was a blurry object but I could already track them down. It ran straight back towards Tanya's house.

It can be an intruder.I thought to myself. I thought of the possibilities it could be but I wasn't going to take any chances. I wanted to see what had been watching me. I stood up and bounded towards the prowler.

The trees resembled a dark jade color of blur as I practically flew towards Tanya's house. As I began to get closer the scent got stronger. It was definitely someone that was new to me.

What is he doing? I heard the thought being spoken.

As I glided through the snow I got a glimpse of the figure running just a few yards in front of me. I quickened my pace, trying to catch up. The thoughts of the runaway creature were blank, probably from state of shock from the chase.

As I glued my eyes on the target, in a quick blink of an eye, it seemed to vanish. My eyes didn't believe it but I kept running. Once I got to the same spot of the disappearance, the scent was much stronger now.

Then before I could even bat an eye, the intruder jumped a few feet in front of me.

It was a young girl, by the looks of it, she seemed to be look around my age. Her hair was a dark chocolate brown and her pale skin glistened in the snow. The chocolate strands of her hair blew in the wind and her red blood eyes stayed glued to my face.

Was this a newborn trying to find some food? I took a crouching position, ready to pounce at any given time.

"You are now getting sleepy" Her voice cooed with the wind. She swayed her arms in a wave like motion in front of her. Her eyes captured mine and it felt like they were trapped.

"Sleepy…" She trailed off.

After being spellbound by her gaze, I shook my head mechanically and narrowed me eyes, "What are you doing?" I asked, still keeping my guard.

"Are you drowsy yet?" The girl's voice stayed smooth as her eyes tried to lock with mine again.

"No" I answered flatly.

The girl's eyes immediately became black and her posture stiffened. Her shoulders rose up and it looked like she was shaking, "What?! I was sure it would've worked this time!" She shouted, standing on her toes. It felt like she was scolding me.

I almost tipped over from being flabbergasted. I relaxed a bit but kept my position, "What were you trying to do?" My voice was icy and thick.

The girl grunted and then her eyes flew to the snowy ground. It was about late afternoon, the sun would begin to set now. Suddenly a devious smile wiped across her face, her eyes still black, narrowing just a bit. She raised her left arm and it looked like she was examining it. She held it out horizontally and left it palm up.

I have such a pretty arm She thought.

She dropped her arm to her side and looked down again, a faint chuckle escaped her lips. "Do you know one thing I love about the sun?" she said, taking a step closer to me.

I ignored her question and immediately took a step back, keeping my crouching position.

"The casting shadows" she murmured.

Suddenly something clicked in my head, I looked down at the snow, and then traced to where she was. Her body wasn't casting a shadow. Instantly as if she knew what I had discovered she leaped and landed on top of my shadow.

I felt a sudden heaviness on my body. I tried to move but I was frozen in place. Her shrewd smile became wider as I struggled to get free.

"Well, Edward, I'm what you call a shadow eater or soul eater as I like to call it" She put pressure on one foot and I felt the sharp jab on my right arm, right where she was pressing.

Of course there are flaws to this gift She spoke to herself through thoughts. The sides of her lips seemed to twitch downward as she was thinking.

How was she able to do this? It seemed unfathomable. Something I have to tell Carlisle, if I can get out of here. I glowered at her, the conniving vampire.

"H-How do you know my name?" I clenched between my teeth.

Suddenly her face became expressionless. It seemed more like minutes before her empty eyes turned a solid topaz. Her deceitful smile turned to humor and before I could even blink she rolled to the ground laughing.

She rolled off my shadow and the pressure was gone. I exhaled deeply and then stared with wide eyes at her.

"Well, you caught me" she said sitting up from the snow. "Tanya said you would be coming up soon so I—"

"Wait, you know Tanya and the others?" I interrupted.

"I am the new temporary sister" She winked and then stuck her hand out, "Sarafina"

00000000000

"Tanya your house seems to become even more stunning every time we come by" Esme's warm smile brightened the already vibrant living room.

Tanya smile widened, "You'll love what we did to the kitchen!" she led the Cullen coven down the hall to the next largest room.

"It was Kate's idea to put the zebra stripes as the pattern" Tanya exclaimed. She rose her arms and exhaled, "It's all for show, but who can help wanting to make something like they do on those cooking shows?" she laughed.

"Last week Tanya wanted to make a soufflé because it looked pretty" Kate added as she came from behind everyone. Her straight pale blond hair fell just above her waist, her topaz eyes making a striking appeal. "I'll show you to your rooms. Irina's upstairs cleaning, God knows we don't get this many visitors" Kate smiled, eyeing every single one of the six vampires.

"Uncle C knows how to pick 'em" Tanya said putting an arm around Carlisle and then went to hug Esme before racing passed everyone to be the first upstairs.


Like it? =T

Hope so! Creative Criticism for Sarafina welcomed. If she needs some touch up or if she's too Mary Sue let me know. I tried not to make her like one anyway _ And about her talent i hope it's not too cheeseball XD;

BTW Sarafina is not being paired with Edward in this fic! Just so everyone gets that clear. Next chapter will explain about Sara's past and how she connects with everyone.
