Thanks to all the people who are following this story, it makes me smile. And thanks to the people who have reviewed. To hear good comments is just ace. =)

I know this is very similar to Breaking Dawn so I should do that thing where I say I don't own anything. "I don't own any of this." Anyway after this chapter it won't be so similar to Breaking Dawn because everything is kind of eased in now and it becomes more about Hermione.

Sorry I am rambling, just don't want anyone thinking I am unorginal. I have tried not to copy too much, I promise.

Anyhoo enjoy...

Carlisle stared at me and I was pretty sure he was going to shout at me.

Edward stood and so did I.

Carlisle didn't shout though instead he turned to Edward and smiled.

"You need to keep a close eye on her." He said to him.

Emmett also stood up.

"I'll come with." He said.

I smiled. I kind of like Emmett and his attitude. He seemed like he wouldn't pressure me and instead just have fun.

Carlisle nodded at Emmett as if agreeing.

"Be careful and come back at any sign of human's" Carlisle instructed them.

For some reason I wasn't craving human blood. In fact I wasn't craving any blood at all. Maybe this was a new vampire thing; something eventually that would come to me.

I looked at Edward and he stared back at me with his topaz eyes.

"You ready?" He asked me.

I nodded.

Edward and Emmett walked towards the front door and I followed them.

But something caught my eye in the mirror. Someone I didn't recognize.

She had gorgeous shiny mousey brown hair, pale skin and perfect complexion. She had the same pajamas on as I had on in the hospital but her eyes were a deep blood red. I stared further into the mirror, getting closer even though my eyesight was perfect.

It was me.

I stared back at myself not taking my eyes off my red eyes. They made look… well like a vampire. Despite the fact I had never looked better in my life, my eyes were disgusting me.

"Why are my eyes red?" I asked, not really directing the question at anyone in particular.

Edward stood behind me and instantly he made me feel ugly despite my new appearance.

"All newborn vampires start off with red eyes. In a few months your eyes will change to the same golden color as ours." He told me.

I shook my head.

"But… why red?" I repeated.

He smiled that same crooked smile he did in the hospital.

"Because your body thirsts for human blood. Plus your body still has human blood inside of it." He said.

"But I am not thirsting any kind of blood." I said.

He smiled again.

"Wait till we get out there hunting."

I looked at him and motioned for him to carried on out the house which he did.

And I followed again.

Once outside the house Edward and Emmett looked at one another, smiled and then sped off into the woods opposite at near enough 100mph.

I stared after them, open mouthed.

I remembered what Carlisle had told me about running faster than I could have dreamed off and stood on my toes getting ready to launch myself after the guys.

Suddenly it felt like I was lifted off the ground.

I ran just as fast as they had done but it was like my feet were hardly touching the ground.

The wind in my face felt so amazing even though I couldn't feel if the wind was cold or not.

In seconds I had over taken Edward and Emmett and carried sprinting for as long as my feet would let me.

Suddenly I stopped. I smelt something.

Something that I craved. That I felt I had to have there and then.

It smelt like… blood. But for some strange reason I wanted to drink it.

I looked through the trees and saw a middle aged man with a backpack on his back and a metal walking stick. He was whistling a happy tune to himself.

My mouth crept up at the corners and I realized it was his blood I wanted so badly.

I breathed the smell in deeply and then turned to face him.

Ready to lift myself off to my amazing speed and give him no chance of escaping.

As I put one foot in front of the other, I suddenly stop.

A wave of panic flooded over my body. I had just wanted to kill an innocent human being just for his blood. To ease my cravings.

If my body had allowed me to cry, the tears would have been spilling down my cheeks.

I turned the way I had came and raced back, as far away from the man as possible.

I passed Edward and Emmett again and carried on running before stopping a short distance from them.

They both ran towards me.

"Are you ok?" Emmett asked me.

"No, I saw a human and I nearly went to kill him." I told them, expecting to be out of breathe but not even a little.

"Wait, nearly? How did you…" Edward started.

"Come on we'll take her to where we usually hunt." Emmett suggested.

I saw Edward nod and he grabbed my hand. I ran alongside him and Emmett trying to get the smell of blood out of my head.

Edward and Emmett took me to a lake deep in the woods and both of them crouched down so I followed.

I saw Edward lift his head and I craned my neck to see what he was looking at.

Across the lake was a female deer that was drinking the water from the lake. She was joined by another two female deer and Emmett looked at Edward as if to say perfect.

I took a big sniff and the blood did smell appetizing but no where near as satisfying as the human I had smelt earlier.

"OK when I say go, pounce." He whispered so quietly no human would ever have heard.

But I did and I nodded. Emmett wasn't listening.

"Go!" Edward suddenly said.

I watched as he and Emmett lept through the air. I quickly followed them and grabbed a deer. My instant reaction was to break its neck before it ran off and I heard it crack under me. The deer fell lifelessly to the floor.

I looked at it and for some reason wanted to suck it dry of its blood. I felt like a monster.

Edward and Emmett were drinking their deer so I followed suit.

I sank my teeth into its skin with great ease as if my teeth were razor sharp and drank.

It tasted good. Not great but good.

After a few minutes, the deer was drained and I looked at it while I wiped the blood from around my mouth.

Despite the fact I had killed it myself with my own bare hands, I suppose it was as bad as eating a McDonald's hamburger. Animals had to die for that. It made me feel like less of a monster.

But still I felt like I was empty. Like I needed more.

In short of killing a human though, I didn't know how to get the satisfaction.

"Anything better than deer?" I asked.

"Only if you can catch a mountain lion." Emmett said.

I raised an eyebrow.

A mountain lion?

I sniffed, trying to see if I could smell anything that smelt good enough.

I smelt something. It wasn't human blood but it smelt better than deer.

I raced off after it and heard Edward and Emmett running behind me. They were fast but no nearly as fast as me.

All of a sudden I saw it, standing deep in the woods. Much deeper than I had ever been in woods before.

The lion spotted me and tried to run as fast as it could from me.

But I was much faster than it, faster than any creature in fact. I jumped on its back and cracked its neck the same as I had done with the deer.

The lion slumped to the floor and I stood over it.

With no hesitation I sunk my teeth into it and starting drinking the blood.

This was much better, something actually fulfilling.

The lion was cleaned out of its blood and I stood up licking my lips.

I turned to see Edward and Emmett staring at me.

"No…way!" Emmett said, looking at me wide eyed.

I smiled smugly at him before running towards the Cullen's house.

I smelt it again. The human.

I stopped dead and the guys skidded to halt in front of me.

"You OK, Hermione?" Emmett asked.

Edward sniffed and then looked at me, clearly smelling it to.

I looked through the trees; it was the same human as before. He was still whistling and I still wanted to kill him. I got ready to go, to kill him like I had done with the deer and the lion.

I snapped out my thoughts and stared at the helpless human.

Edward and Emmett were ready to stop me in case I attacked but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

It was one thing killing animals but another human being.

He could be a father, someone's husband, the love of their life.

I shook the vile thoughts out of my head, and span on my heels back towards the Cullen's.

I stopped by the front door and waited for the guys to catch up.

"What do you mean you can't hear what she is thinking?" I heard Emmett say.

I cocked my head to the side in confusion.

"I mean exactly that. What else do you need to know?" Edward said.

"But you can read everyone's mind."

"Everyone expect her."

They stood in front of me.

"You can read minds?" I asked.

Edward nodded.

"Some vampires have special powers. Alice can see into the future and I can read minds. Jasper…" Edward started.

I shuddered at the mention of Jasper's name and Edward seemed to notice.

Quickly wanting to change the subject I asked Edward why he couldn't read my mind.

"I don't know. It's very frustrating. I would love to know what you are thinking." He said.

I smiled. I kind of liked that he couldn't.

I made my way into the Cullen's house and noticed Carlisle and Esme in the living room both reading, while Alice and Rosalie were chatting. Jasper was no where to be seen.

"You will never guess what?" Emmett said, breezing pass me and sitting next to Rosalie.

All the Cullen's stopped what they were doing while Edward stood next to me.

"This girl is one of a kind." Emmett said.

Rosalie raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"Not like that baby." He teased, squeezing her nose. "I mean she resisted human blood and then single handily killed a lion."

They all stared back at me and I should have flushed a bright shade of red but my cheeks stayed pale.

"You resisted human blood?" Carlisle asked.

All I could do was nod my head.

"Yeah she did before, while Edward and I were catching up. Boy, she is fast as well. And strong, should have seen how she killed that lion. Phew. And she ran from the human before. Then running back home she did it again. I thought she was gonna kill him but she managed to stop herself and run back here." Emmett said, without taking a breathe.

Not that he needed to. It seemed I didn't need to breathe except when trying to smell.

Carlisle looked at me in awe.

"I couldn't find the strength to kill him." I finally whispered.

"No that's a good thing, Hermione." Carlisle said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I looked up into his topaz eyes.

"An amazing thing actually. I am not a betting man but I would put a bet on you being the first one day old newborn vampire resisting a human." He smiled.

I smiled back at him.

"And… Edward can't read her mind." Emmett said.

Carlisle's hand slipped off my shoulder and he looked at Edward who was still standing next to me.

"It's true. Every time I try and read her mind, I just hear nothing." Edward said.

"Amazing." Carlisle whispered.
"Looks like we got a special one here." Esme said.

I smiled at them all, suddenly feeling welcome into their family.

Apart from one.

I looked down at the floor.

"I need to speak to Jasper." I said.

I needed answers.

"He is upstairs. Fourth door on the left." Alice told me.

I should have ran up the stairs at the speed of light but somehow I didn't want to rush into this.

I climbed up the stairs and stopped outside the fourth door on the left.

And then I slowly knocked on the door.
