Disclaimer: I own Nothing once again!!
Chapter 8
Nothing of real importance happened until the August of my fifteenth year, unless you count me breaking Jason's nose in the ninth grade because he called me a bloodsucker and meant it.
My family decided to move back to Forks the summer right before my freshmen year of high school. Since we looked so much alike, Edward and I were pretending to be twins. Jason begged his father to let him go to Forks High instead of the Quileute school. Jacob agreed, of course.
Anyway, ever since Jason turned fifteen in July, I had been bugging him about when he was going to phase and he just kept telling me that he didn't know, that these things weren't planned out, like my problem was.
Also in August, we got word from Tanya and the whole Denali clan that their distant "cousin", who was changed during the French Revolution, was coming to live with them. However, she was not like us, meaning the she drank human blood, so she was coming to see us, the Cullens, to learn how to control her thirst and how to hunt animals. Her name was LouLou, which was a great named during the time of the French Revolution, but not so much now. Our whole family was anxiously awaiting her arrival, especially me. LouLou was about my age, she was "sixteen" and I just knew that we were going to be friends.
The day LouLou was set to arrive at our house had finally come. At about 9 am there was a knock on the door. My dad answered it and there was LouLou, standing in the doorway, awestruck, just staring at Edward. Her thoughts were very funny.
"Oh my God, Oh my God, He is.., Oh My God."
I decided to try to force a coherent thought on her and bounded down stairs and gave her a hug and her thoughts suddenly changed.
"This girl, she smells like a vampire but she is warm and has blood just like a human, but how can that be?"
I giggled and said "I'm half-vampire. That's why I smell like a vampire." While we were touching I started to see flashed of my past. I realized that this must be LouLou power, to see people's pasts. Her power caught me off guard, so I quickly blocked my mind. When I did LouLou said-
"Ow! What happened?"
"Oh, sorry, I wasn't prepared for that, so I blocked my mind from you I'm sorry. Now that I know, it won't happen again." She quickly forgave me and then I said "Lets go up to my room and listen to music. My dad has every CD in the history of the world." So we started to walk up to my room. On the way up we ran into Jasper. Once again, LouLou was speechless.
Then Jasper said, "Hi, Beth!"
"Hey Jazzy, This is LouLou." I'm sure if LouLou could blush she would be doing so right now. Jasper was internally laughing because he could feel LouLou's embarrassment.
"LouLou, don't be embarrassed." Jasper told her.
"How did you" LouLou asked.
"Oh, I can feel other's emotions and manipulate them."
"Oh! I see. Cool power."
"Why thank you." Jasper replied like the southern gentleman he was.
Then I said, "Come on LouLou, my rooms on the third floor." Then we ran up to my room at vampire speed.
Once we got to my room, I popped in the latest Fall Out Boy CD and we stared to "rock out". Fall Out Boy turned out to be LouLou's favorite band as well. After we "rocked out" for a while, we decided to find out more about each other. She asked me about how I was half-vampire and I told her my story and my fate when I turned seventeen. Then I asked her about herself. She didn't tell me much except that she was changed in an alleyway by some random vampire during the French Revolution and that her uncle, who she had change only a few days after she was changed, had met Tanya when he had been in America. LouLou really did have amazing control of her thirst. She had even gone to school even though she drank human blood.
While we were talking, I heard a door slam downstairs. The only person who ever slammed doors in my house was me or Jason, when he came over, and it was, in fact, Jason. I could smell him and he reeked. He was attempting to block his thoughts from me by singing Barbie Girl. He was also trying to annoy me because he knew I despised that song because Alice blared it through the house all the time.
Then I said, "Well, it's about time." Mostly to myself.
I just read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn!! It was amazing!!
