Hey. Sorry it took me so long but I'm back. Yay!

Katie POV

I walk out of the bathroom wearing gray sweat pants and a shirt, hair in a ponytail and with a crazy story. Vampires. The Cullen's are vampires. Huh, that explains the gold eyes apparently. Since they only feed on animals, or so I've been told, their eyes went from a bloody red to gold. Weird, but kinda cool.

Bella comes out, "You okay?" "Yeah. Fine. Don't worry Bella, I'm not gonna call the police. I don't judge people based on their outside. You know that."

I walk downstairs and out onto the porch. "So what else is there that you wanted to tell me? Do they have any kickass powers?" Bella looks at me for a second. "Do you read minds too?" We laugh "Only yours Bells. No one knows you like I do. Wait. Me too? Which one can read minds? Aw that's gonna suck to be around him."

"Edward. Well, except for me."

"You too actually." I turn around and find Edward looking at us with a small smile, but he seems confused.

"You can't read my thoughts?" Good. Last thing I need is for him to know all my secrets. "Oh that's good." he raises his eyebrow.

"So, what other powers do they have?" I say.

"Jasper can control and feel emotions and Alice can see into the future." says Bella.

Edward jumps in saying, "Actually, Raph has an ability, too. He controls fire, but he doesn't use it much, if at all."

"Why not," I ask, "that's awesome!"

Edward smiles. "Well, he has a bit of a temper problem, so if he gets angry fire comes into the picture and it can hurt someone so he doesn't use that much."

That's horrible. But the fire is like a part of him, wouldn't it? All he needs is practice.

Alice walks in. "Aw, that's it? Huh, you're like Bella, but I'm going to have to get you." she smiles. I smile too. "Uh-oh. Guess I'm gonna have to watch my back." I laugh.

"But you do look cute." Alice says.

"I don't like it."

I spin around and its him. Raph. Looking at me with a scowl.

Alive narrows her eyes. "Well, I didn't ask you, so beat it or I'll throw." He laughs, it seems fake and a little crude. "Whatever." he says and speeds away onto the forest. I look down and blush, embarrassed.

"Don't listen to him, Katie. He's just being a jerk." said Alice.

Why doesn't like me though? And why the hell do I care? Alice is right. He's being and jerk and a bully so I do not care.

But even when I'm going to bed later that night I wonder why Raph doesn't seem to like me. And why l care.

Raph POV

When I first saw Bella's cousin there wasn't much to see. Seeing that she was covered in mud. I take a deep breath to catch her scent. Holy shit. She smells amazing. I thought Bella smelled good. This girl must be related to her. Her scent isn't like anything I've ever smelled before. Like a warm burning fire and the ocean. And something else, that I can't name, but it's just addicting. I take a deep breath and take as much of her scent as possible. Imagine how much stronger it'll be when the mud is off her. Alice and Bella begin to lead her away to the shower and probably to tell her the little 'we're all deadly vampires' thing. Everyone else begins to walk away.

Emmet mutters to me, "Did you get enough? You were smelling her the entire time." he smirks. Damn it.

I shrug. "What? She smelled good enough to eat."

"Ha-ha. I don't know, you really seemed to be enjoying it. Or her?"

I snort and roll my eyes. "Yeah right. Hard to tell if she was even worth looking at with all the mud covering her."

"Sure Raph." Emmet sniggered. I growled.
