Positive. A sequel to "Are You Sure?" a story based on Stephenie Meyer Twilight

Maia's POV

I wasn't paying any attention to anything except the sunlight on my face. I didn't hear anything, not even with my mental hearing. I was just feeling the sunlight warm on my face, though Jacob's hand would've been preferable. 

No. I had to stop thinking about Jacob. Just the sun.

The sun, forcing my skin to cast rainbows everywhere like there were thousands of tiny diamonds embedded in the surface. At first glance, I almost looked like I was on fire.

I remembered vaguely the first time I stepped out into the sun as a vampire. 

It was my third week as a vampire. I was still mostly overcome by the newborn thirst at the time, but this was something that stuck in my memory.

We were hunting in the daytime, my father and I. It wasn't something I was totally comfortable with yet, but I was eager to follow in my father's footsteps.

The first time I saw my father in the sunlight, it sent me into a panic. Hadn't he told me we didn't burn in the sun?

"Does that hurt you?" I had asked.

"No."

"But, aren't you burning?"

"Look closer," he insisted.

I obeyed automatically, and saw how his skin seemed to have thousands of tiny diamonds embedded inside. Experimentaly, I reached my own arm out into the bright sunlight, and I sparkled just like him. I realized I held nothing of my past life in this body at that moment. I had no connection to it whatsoever. My old life was just a memory, a pointless blip in my entire existence. 

Just like Forks.

Just like happiness.

Just like Jacob.

Katie had warned me about the stupid dinner party I had to go to in a few hours. It was Jacob's mother's weak excuse for what we really told her. That we were leaving Forks. Forever.

The main reason, the one I hadn't told anyone, was because I wanted Jacob to have a chance at a normal life. One where he didn't have to worry about his crazy vampire girlfriend. Katie'd warned me about the consequences of this choice, but I didn't listen. It would be better for Jacob if I wasn't here. 

Katie had warned me about my reaction, how I would become without Jacob. But she didn't go into detail about how he would be without me. She'd guarded her thoughts with that one. I hoped he'd get over me quick, realize that his imprinting was just a confusion, and get on with his life. My feelings on this didn't matter.

"Maia!" someone shouted. 

My eyes snapped open. "Jacob?" I jumped to my feet. Jacob was standing in the very edge of the pool of sunlight, and he was looking very afraid.

Would this be what pushed him over the edge? Maybe he'd leave me, and it would be a clean break.

"Maia! Maia, are you alright?" he asked frantically, running up close enough that I could feel his body heat against me. His shadow covered me, and I stopped sparkling.

"I'm fine," I said in what I hoped was a convincing voice.

"But you- you were just-. Maia, you were just on fire. We need to get you to your father."

"Jacob, stop. This is just what happens to me in the sun. It's not a big deal," I said, stepping back into the sunlight. "And besides, don't we have a dinner party to get to?"
