The next day loomed, I stood at my bedroom window, watching the sun rise, my arms wrapped around my waist, breathing slowly and calmly, I could see the sun shining but it was still cloudy, I knew it would cloud over and rain soon. Suddenly I felt two arms wrap around me and hold me close to them, I felt a soft breath on my neck and I smiled, recognising the scent. Ryan, "Good morning" he whispered to me, his warm breath tickling my ear. I smiled more and turned to him, wrapping my arms around his neck, "Good morning." I replied. He pressed his soft lips on mine for a few seconds before pulling away and looking at the sun, I turned around, his arms still around me, watching the sun rise again. The sun shone on us, making our skin glisten, casting small rainbows on the walls. I smiled softly at this until I heard someone walk near our room. I turned to see Renesmee walking past towards her room, holding what looked like a bowler's mitt from baseball in her hand. I looked at Ryan, slightly confused, he too had the same confused look on his face. He shrugged it off and let go of me, going to our wardrobe and taking out his clothes for the day. I walked downstairs slowly to find Emmett and Rosalie in the living room, they each had 2 baseballs and 2 baseball bats in their hands, "Oh, are you guys going to play baseball?" I asked. "Sure we are." Emmett grinned at me. "But later on today" Rosalie said. "Ooooh" I nodded slowly, with this the two vampires walked out towards the garage.
Two hours later, Ryan, Alice and I were in my Audi driving to school, I parked up next to Edward's Volvo and Alice and I made our way to first lesson. What felt like minutes but it was really hours, I was sat in Trig next to Ryan, the clouds started to go even darker than usual and by lunch time, I was surprised it hadn't started pouring down. I listened in to Edward and Alice's low voiced conversation and I wasn't the only one, all of us were. They were apparently planning on skipping last lesson and heading out of school, to go back home, "Is that okay with you two?" Edward asked Ryan and me. I looked at Ryan and nodded slightly, "Yeah, that's fine with us." Ryan nodded at Edward. I looked around the cafeteria, many eyes were on us, everywhere I looked, at least one pair of eyes made contact with mine. I picked up my tray and stood up, "I'll meet you guys outside." I said before turning and walking to put my tray away and walking out of the cafeteria. I felt the pairs of eyes follow me out as I walked outside school and sat on a bench. My eyes narrowed slightly as I sensed I was being followed, my eyes set on a guy who wasn't even being subtle about his stare. He walked over to me and sat down, "Hi." He said to me. "Hi, can I help you with something?" I asked. "You're a cousin of the Cullen's aren't you?" he asked and I nodded. "I can see the resemblance." He commented, "Thanks." I said even though I knew there wasn't any likeness between me, Ryan and the Cullens. "I mean… you're really pretty." He scratched the back of his head, a faint pink colour appearing in his cheeks. I raised an eyebrow, "Erm… thanks, I suppose…" I said, sounding confused. "I don't suppose, you'll consider, going out with me sometime?" he asked, I was taken aback, "Oh, erm… thanks but.. no thanks..."
"Why not?" he asked urgently. "I.. erm… am not looking for a date right now…"
He grabbed my hand, "Come on, just once?" I pulled my hand away easily, "No" I started to stand up but he grabbed my hand again, pulling me towards him and before I knew it, his human lips were on mine. My throat burned like fire as he kissed me, I was in a state of shock until I saw a flash of black hair, I heard a crunch and the boy was flying onto the floor, "TOUCH MY 'SISTER' AGAIN AND YOU'LL BE SORRY YOU BASTARD!" Ryan shouted. He turned to me and cupped my face and looked into my eyes, "Are you okay?" he asked, "Ye...yeah… I just wasn't expecting that… that's all." I replied. He let go of me and crouched down to the guy, "Tell anyone what I just did, and you'll have worse than a broken jaw." He whispered. He stood up straight and looked at me again, "Come on, everyone's waiting by the cars." He took my hand and started to walk towards the car park. "I think I should drive for now." Ryan said, I didn't object, I just handed the keys to him and got into the back seat next to Alice. Before I knew it, we were on our way back to the house, "So, why are we skipping school?" I asked Alice and she smirked, "You'll have to wait and see." She smiled. "Is it something to do with baseball?" Ryan asked from the front. "Maybe." Alice replied still smirking.
Once Ryan parked the car into the garage, Alice and I got out of the back seat, "If you go upstairs, you have outfits chosen by me, laid out on your bed, go and get changed, we don't have much time." Ryan and I nodded and walked quickly upstairs. There were two baseball outfits laid out on our bed, mine was in front of my pillow. I went into the bathroom and let down my hair from its low pony tail. I slid my baseball cap on and sorted out my hair before opening the door to see Ryan changed too. I smiled at him and walked downstairs with him behind. We found the others in the living room, changed, ready and waiting. "We'll be taking Emmett's 4x4, Alice's Porsche and Edward's Volvo, is that okay?" Esme asked. I nodded. We split up into groups, Emmett, Rosalie, Jacob and Nessie in the 4x4, Edward, Bella, Carlisle and Esme in the Volvo and Alice, Jasper, Ryan and I in the Porsche. Alice was driving, which was new to me as I was usually driving her. She took us to the other side of town and out into the country, the sky was very grey. She parked up beside a forest, "We need to go through this forest and we'll be at our destination, but we have to go on foot, we'll be there in no time." She smiled at us in the mirror before opening her door and getting out, we all did the same. Alice locked the door and broke into a run, entering the forest, with Jasper, me and Ryan close behind. Even when running, Alice looked like she was dancing. It took us about 3 minutes to get to our destination, a large open field which had been changed into a baseball pitch, meeting up with the others who were there. As we skidded to a halt, a rumble came distantly from the skies, "It's starting, quickly, decide teams." Alice said. Carlisle nodded, "Okay, I'll be fielding; I'll take Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Sky and Ryan. The rest on Esme's team you'll be batting first." He looked at Ryan and me, "You know how to play?" We nodded. We spaced out, Edward took up a bat, he was to bat first, I watched Alice stand at the bowlers pit and wait. I wondered what she was waiting for. Then I knew, as soon as a crack of thunder broke out, Alice threw the ball, Edward swung his bat and with a deafening bang, the ball went flying, past me and into the forest, I turned and ran as fast as I could after the ball, understanding why we needed a storm now. I found the ball and quickly picked it up and threw it in the direction of the pitch.
We played for a while, Edward caught me out as I had with him. Jacob phased into his wolf form to catch the baseball in his mouth. The wind was picking up, I tied my hair back so I could see what I was doing when it was my turn to bat again. I waited as Renesmee bowled, I swung my bat at the ball and sent it flying off. I ran as fast as I could around the baseball pitch, skidding at the end, hearing a shout of, "Safe!" from Carlisle. I smiled to myself. I stood up and brushed myself down and grinned at Ryan. Suddenly, something didn't seem right, Alice was frozen on the spot, her eyes once again out of focus, Edward was at her side, reading her mind. "Vampires…", she was staring at a misty clearing near us, "They heard us playing, they are curious."
"2 of them have abilities." Came the voice of Ryan who had run over to our gathering. I nodded slightly, "I'm not quite sure what they have yet, i must shake their hands to find out..."
"Have fun with that" I said.
"Yes, but if their powers manipulate our minds, so Bella's shield can protect us if they try to use them" Edward replied as Bella nodded. "Jacob wants to know if we should just wait." Edward said. I looked down to see a russet brown coloured wolf stood beside me. "No, we should keep playing." Emmett replied.
"Yes, that's a good idea, show that we are not their enemies or a threat." Carlisle agreed. We all nodded and went back to our places in a flash, literally, of lightening. We played on and waited for our 4 visitors to arrive….
