Ch 3
Finishing sketching how my layer will look like I went for a shower and then to sleep. Again I've dreamed of him. I was in his arms and was content with my life. The morning came rather fast.
"Wake up sunshine; you'll be late for school!" Richard said knocking at the door.
I got up and hit the shower. God, the hot water felt so good on my skin in the morning. I realized what was the time, after half an hour under the water, so I got out and started dressing. I put on a black shirt, my skinny black jeans, a purple jacket and some purple snickers. I put my flaming red hair in a ponytail, some makeup on my face and then thrown my bag over the shoulder.
"What's for breakfast?" I asked while coming down the stairs.
"Your favorites, pancakes!" Richard said and I started eating them in a hurry.
"Great cook you are, have a good day!" I said after taking the last bite and leaving.
"You to girl. Have fun!" He said waving and a responded back with a wave also.
Arrived at school I parked my car and by the time I was grabbing my backpack from the passenger seat the Cullen's arrived as well. Emmett didn't wait for Edward to park the car because he jumped. Everyone was now staring at him as he was coming at full human speed running at me. I made a step on the left and he got to hug my car.
"Meanie!" He said pouting.
"Just trying to stay alive, I'm fragile bear!" I said laughing.
The others joined me and then Rosalie came to hug me. Her ice cold skin in contact with my human skin made me shiver a little. Sometimes you have to keep the appearances. The big bear came afterwards and hugged me.
"Alice what is wrong?" I asked when I saw her eyes looking somewhere further and she had no expression on her face.
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about something." She said after several seconds.
We didn't say anything and went to our classes. The first was with Alice. She was scrabbling in her notebook but I somehow knew that something was off. I opened my notebook at a white page and threw the spell of mind reading to her. Her thoughts started to appear on my pages.
"Why did I saw the Volturi? Why was Edward fighting with Marcus? What is happening? Everytime someone is with the new girl I get blackouts, when I try to see her I cannot. Oh, I'm so frustrated! Fine, I want to get to know this girl, I have a feeling that something good will happen but if the Volturi are going to come in the picture what will we do? I don't want Ed hurt or anyone!"
She is such an angel, I get that she is a seer. She is such a selfless person. I just wanted to say to her that nobody will hurt her family but that would mean that I'll expose myself.
"Hey, sorry for being out and cold. Can we start over?" The pixie asked me.
"Sure." I said smiling.
"I'm Alice Cullen, nice to meet you!" She said lending her hand forward.
"Katerina Corvin, nice to meet you too!" I said grabbing her hand.
"We're gonna be such good friends in the future!" She said giving me a hug.
"I'm glad to hear that!" I said sincerely responding to her hug.
"We should go shopping someday!" She said full of energy.
"It's a must! I didn't really knew what to expect here and didn't pack to many clothes. What do you say about going this weekend? We can stay in Seatle over the night and come Sunday back home." I said grinning at the thought.
"You are good, ok, Saturday morning we're gonna leave." She said being all smiles.
"Next class is going to start soon, we have to go!" I said grabbing her hand.
The day went quite well, at lunch I ate with the Cullens, the kids in school gave me weird glances but I wasn't affected. We talked about things, Alice convinced Rosalie to come this weekend and Emmett wanted to tag along. Edward was watching my every move when he thought I didn't pay attention to him.
Time passed really fast and the weekend came along really fast. It was Friday when I saw Emmett outside of my house. He was so funny when he didn't know what to do. I decided not to disturb him and went to my room and began to do my homework. After three hours I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water when I saw Emmett doing the same thing like three hours ago. Wasn't he conscious of what he was doing or the time that has past? I watched him and then I went down stairs and approached him from behind.
"You are going to make a hole there from moving so much!" I said.
"Oh, Kat, I didn't hear you coming. I was thinking if you wanted to go for a run but then I started thinking that you want to keep this a secret and everything and I got caught in my thinking!" He said explaining to me why he was there.
"You could have just asked and not staying here for the last three hours thinking." I said laughing and then continued. "I'd love to go for a run, but not here. It's to close and your family will sense me."
"Oh yah, forgot about the sensing possible enemies. Maybe another time!" He said all sad.
"Or you can piggyback me until it's safe and then we can run!" I said giving him a solution and I saw how in a split second his face become bright and he put a weird smile on his face.
"Ok!" He said and threw me on his back. I grabbed myself really well so I won't fall. He started running and I enjoyed the ride. It was twenty minutes later that we were somewhere in Canada I think because the place didn't looked familiar at all. "Welcome to Canada Princess!" he said helping me to get to the ground.
"Thank you!" I said and went back to my supernatural form.
Looking at the forest again with my vampire sight I saw how beautiful it was. Emmett now looked like a teenage boy, nothing special. He was a big bear but if I looked at him with my human eyes he looked way to handsome for a human but now he looks a little more handsome than an ordinary human, but still nothing extraordinary. I turned on all my powers and took a deep breath. I could smell and differentiate everything in the forest.
"What do you say about a running contest?" Emmett asked.
"Where is the finish?" I asked.
"At the boarding between states. Are you in?"
"Sure, but we have to bet on something, otherwise is no fun!" I said grinning at him.
"If you lose you have to tell everyone." He said.
"And if I win you'll be my slave for one week!"
"Deal." He said.
"I'll give you ten seconds advantage!" I said.
"You really want to tell everyone!" He stated.
"Go!" I said and started counting before I was ready to get in sound speed mode. "nine… ten".
It was good to feel every muscle contract and the venom in my body to start circulating. Running was always a pleasure. I could feel alive in this dead body. I never disliked being a vampire or human, usually I like more being a vampire than human because I never get tired, hungry, I don't need to shower or any other human needs. In a second I was behind Emmett and started running at normal speed which was faster than his speed. When he saw me behind him he tried to run faster but he still couldn't beat me. I was now besides him and I turned to face him while running. He looked at me with a stupefied expression and I winked at him. I turned around and waved at him while putting some speed in my feet. In three minutes I arrived at the border between states waited for him.
"You are fast!" He said trying to breath.
"I'm glad that now I have a slave!" I said smiling widely.
"Don't get perverted thoughts because I have a wife back home." He said all serious.
"Get me home, Richard will get there in a hour and I have to prepare dinner." I said changing back to human.
After the fifteen minute run he let me down and I ran inside to prepare something fast for dinner. I sent Emmett home. I went in my room to get my phone and saw that I had missed calls from an unknown number, my uncle and Santi. I first called my uncle to see what was the emergency.
"Why did you call?" I asked Aro rather harshly.
"Someone is making a vampire army in Seatle and maybe you can find out something!" He said to me.
"Next week, this weekend I'm going with the Cullen girls shopping and I haven't told them, only Emmett knows what I am."
"Ok, but the faster you find the better because we can get into action. And Santiago wants to let you know that your car will arrive Sunday in Seatle."
"Tell him thanks and I'll call you when I have news about everything!"
"Thank you and be careful belle, we miss you!"
"I miss you guys also, but this is life. Call you latter!" I said and closed the phone call.
This is going to become interesting because if there was going to be a war then I had to go into vampire mode in front of everyone. I called the unknown number so I could hear a familiar voice at the other end.
"Hello?" I asked.
" Hey Katerina, I wanted to know at what hour are we gonna leave tomorrow and where are you staying so we can come to get you." Alice's voice was at the other end of the phone.
"What do you say about ten!" I stated rather than asking. "As for my address, Emmett knows where I'm staying, because it would be really hard to explain."
"Ok, so at ten we'll see you!"
