Chapter 6 – Realizations
Elizabeth's P.O.V.
"Elizabeth? Where are you?" I heard Remus call.
"My room!" I called back.
I heard the soft padding of footsteps coming up the stairs. I didn't look up, not even when to door quietly opened.
"You've had your nose stuck in the Magical Creatures book since you got home yesterday," he commented, sitting beside me on the bed. "What so interesting about it?"
I snorted, put down the book, and rubbed my face, "Nothing."
"Then why are you reading it?"
"Because… well—"
"It's the Cullens, isn't it?"
I looked at him with wide eyes, "How'd you guess?'
He chuckled, "I could ell by the way you talked about them the other day."
I smiled and turned back tot eh book, "It's just… they seem off to me. I can't explain it. They—well, on of them, really—remind me of something I read in here, once. I just can't find it. It's driving me mad."
Remus chuckled again, "C'mon, cub. You're gong to be late for school."
I sighed and put down the book. I grabbed my bag, gave Remus and Sirius—who'd come up as I was getting my bag—quick hugs, and walked out the door.
On the way to school, I couldn't stop thinking about the feeling in my gut that said the Cullens weren't human."
But that was preposterous.
I pulled into the school parking lot and got out. Eva and Leah walked up to me. "Hey, Elizabeth!" Eva greeted.
"Hi," mumbled Leah, looking a little pale.
"Still sick?" I asked her sympathetically.
She nodded, "It sucks."
I chuckled and patted her on the back.
"Heeeelllooo, laaadiiieeesss!"
We turned and saw Jeremy striding up to us. Evan and I chuckled while Leah rolled her eyes.
"Hi, Jeremy," I said.
"So what are you all doing this afternoon?" he asked. "My dad's having this big cookout and said I could bring you three."
Leah politely declined, saying that she felt too bad. Eva agreed enthusiastically. Jeremy turned to me and I shrugged.
"I don't know. I have to go home and help Remus with something he wanted to do, but if we get done in time, I'll stop by."
Jeremy looked particularly happy at that.
The bell rang.
"Let's go to class," I chuckled.

Emmett greeted me warmly when I sat down next to him in Biology.
"Hello, Elizabeth," he grinned.
I smiled, "Hello, Emmett."
"How was your day?" he asked, resting his elbows on the table, his chin in the palm of his hand, and fluttering his eyelids.
I pursed my lips to keep from laughing, "It… It was good… And you?"
"It was fabulous!"
I couldn't stop the laugh that escaped my lips this time.
"That's good."
"Yep."
Mr. Turner started class then, and we were forced to turn our attention to the front of the class. But I couldn't keep the grin off my face.
Mr. Turner looked at me and his lips twitched upward, "Something funny, Miss Potter?"
I shook my head, my grin widening, "It's just a good day to be alive, sir."

The day had ended and everyone was standing in the parking lot, talking with their friends.
Emmett and his family were on the other side of the parking lot. They were all talking and laughing. Emmett looked at me, smiled, and waved. I smiled and waved back.
Jeremy looked to where I was waving at and scowled.
"I see you and Cullen are getting close," he said conversationally.
I shrugged, "He's a friend. That's it."
He huffed and looked away.
Eva changed the subject (thankfully), "So, Eliza—"
"Hey, watch out!"
I turned and saw a football whizzing toward my head.
I didn't even have time to react.
A body stepped into my line of sight so fast, I barely saw it. A hand shot out and caught the ball with ease. I finally saw who it was.
It was Emmett.
But wasn't he just…?
Emmett turned and grinned at me
I could've sworn…
"We don't want that football damaging your pretty little head, now do we?"
I smiled gratefully at him and he walked back to his family.
Leah soon announced that she was going home and I said that I was, too.
Walking back to my truck, my mind was whirling.
How did Emmett get there so fast?
I stopped mid-step as realization hit me like a ton of bricks.
Ice cold skin…
Changing eye color…
Super human speed…
Holy shit.
The Cullens were vampires.
Chapter six is up! I hope you liked it!
I honestly didn't know how to lead up to Elizabeth realizing what the Cullens were, but I think it worked out pretty well.
Reviews are a girl's best friend!
