Emily was keeping our plans a secret. She even went to the lengths of pulling Aurora out of school leaving Elsie, Edwin and I, most notably me, alone with the Cullens.
"Blythe," the nun who taught history pulled me aside one day before class. "How is your sister?" she was a woman in her mid fifties with deep brown eyes and a kind demeanor.
"She's well enough to move about the house, but not well enough for school." I shrugged.
"Let her know she's in our prayers." She rested a hand on my forearm. Her gentle smile made me feel a warm spot deep down in my icy interior.
"I will, Sister." I couldn't help but to smile back at her before I slipped from the room.
"So your sister is sick?" I heard a light singsong voice behind me. I turned around to see the three Cullens, Alice, Edward and Bella.
"Yeah," I shrugged. "It's a serious case of pneumonia."
"Bull shit." Edward growled in a hushed tone before Bella grasped my arm and pulled me into an empty room.
"Don't play stupid." Bella hissed.
"We know what you are." Edward said and in a quick movement of his hand he forced my brown contacts from my eyes showing them my crimson ones.
"Why are you here?" Bella asked. I was silent. I had seen a few visions of Alice. Blanking out, forgetting about everything around her. Like I did, before Emily tried to get me to force myself, now they hurt, a crippling pain.
"Alice should know." I looked at her for a split second. They were silent for a moment all looking at me.
"Alice knows—" Edward began.
"Edward, Bella, step outside, please." Alice said before taking a step closer to me. "I know this is strange, but I can't see you. What are you?"
"What do you think?" I tugged at my blazer. "I'm a vampire."
"That's not," she sighed letting her fingers rest on her temples. "What I mean is, what were you? Before the change."
"Human." I shrugged. Alice was silent for a few moments.
"How—" Alice shook her head and in a quick flash Edward and Bella were back in the room. Edward grasping my arms and pinning them back and Bella tying a white piece of fabric across my eyes and it twisted around my head to gag me. I was slung over someone's shoulder, probably Edward, and he paused.
"Bella, stay on watch." Alice ordered. "Make sure no one sees us then follow us out."
"Okay." Bella answered before I was swept up quickly and pulled out of the room through a window they quickly opened. Edward was waiting in the snow while Alice raced away only to return with their vehicle.
"Hurry, Edward." Alice said from the driver's seat before he threw me against the back seat and slammed the door behind him. Bella raced into the car not long after and they sped off.
