Coffee
The warm brown liquid sat in the mug that was placed in both of my hands; evaporation was rising towards the ceiling and was in my line of sight.
I kept taking quick sips to get warm. I know that I need a shower for heat but the coffee took the edge off. I took another sip, I could feel it burn my throat and tongue as it travelled to my stomach. I shot of heat was sent through me.
I don't even like the stuff but here I am drinking it.
I was leaning over the sink in the kitchen to get a better view of the scene outside of the window. The rain thundered against the windows as the fog mystified the surroundings causing a confused state of appearance to develop. It reflected my mood completely. I felt my eyebrows scrunch up in confusion of everything. I sighed and threw my head back looking up at the ceiling, for what? I did not know I was hoping for God to be there giving me answers but I knew by now that life wasn't that easy.
"Ella," I heard Carlisle ask. I put my head back up to look more normal as he walked through the white wooden kitchen doors. "Wow, it's weird to see a vampire drinking coffee," he chuckled.
"I'm half, remember…" I answered to him.
"True," He felt apprehensive but covered it up well. It was moments like these I loved my power.
"What's up doc?" I wondered.
"I forgot you have nearly the same power as Jasper."
"That I do," I nodded my head biting my lip wanting to know what he was worried about. "Please tell me what you want it is killing me not knowing."
"Can I do some test on you? Ella," He asked.
I titled my head to the side in confusion, "What?" This was the complete opposite thing I thought he wanted; I thought that he was going to kick me out for causing upset in his family.
"I promise you that I do not mean you any harm. It's just that...I find our species fascinating. I suppose that the elements of vampire nature have come to seem common to me over centuries. But you are a different bread of vampire just like Renesmee although you are even more special as you are part witch. I would just like to ask a few questions that is all." He explained all of this with a composed facial expression but his feelings said otherwise he was nervous. While he became nervous his English accent came out telling me more of his background.
"Oh," I sighed. "Ask away then."
He chuckled, "Would you like to go up to my office for privacy or stay here?"
He has his own office in the house? These people are far too rich. Although I was curious to see his office to explore more of the house, I reined it in just in case I saw Jasper, it would be too awkward.
"Nar, here's fine," I smiled drinking the last of my coffee and placing it in the dishwasher. I advanced to the kitchen table and slumped down on the wooden chair that had red cushions on for comfort. My trousers had finally dried so I didn't have to worry about getting the chair wet.
