Beautifully Undead

Chpt.8: Stuck

Chapter 8

I ate my food like it was the last time I would ever eat. I couldn't help it I was starving. I forced myself to slow down when I noticed Esme watching with concerned eyes. I don't need to draw attention.

The Cullen's were nice people. I have only known them a day and I like most of them. Jasper, Edward and Rosalie seem to not be fond of me. But I can't win everyone over. Besides I probably want see then after today anyways.

I finished my food and leaned back in my chair. I haven't felt this full in a long time.

"Did you get enough?" Esme asked me.

I smiled and nodded my head.

"Thank you." I replied.

"Your very welcome Cora." She told me."

I looked out the window to see it was dark. I had spent the entire day with Esme.

"Umm...yea. Thank you for everything. I really appreciate it." I told her.

She only smiled and looked at me seeming to know what I was doing.

"It's getting late. I should probably go." I replied getting up.

"Oh. Edward offered to drive you home he is on his way out." Esme told me.

I froze what was I going to do.

"Umm.. That's not necessary I can walk. It's not that far." I told her. Getting my Oreos and quickly heading out the kitchen.

She followed me as I entered the living room.

"Nonsense. Edward will take you. It's dark. You shouldn't be out by yourself." She replied.

Everyone was in the living room now looking at me. What was I going to do. My home was a bridge.

I didn't know what else to do so I just decided to stall. Till I came up with a plan.

"Edward can't take me home." I started.

I looked at him a hurt expression crossed his face.

"None of you can." I sighed in defeat.

"Why not dear?" Esme sake in concern.

"Because...you just can't." I said nervously. I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Doctor Cullen and Esme came up to me. Esme looked at me with worried eyes.

"Sweetheart can you tell us why we can't take you?" Esme asked me.

I decided not to look at them. I shook my head slowly. I couldn't tell them I wouldn't. It would ruin everything.

"I shouldn't have come here." I said finally. I looked Esme straight in the eyes. The expression that crossed Esme face was one I never wanted to see again.

"Cora. Please you can trust us." Esme begged.

"We just want to help." Alice piped in.

"Please let me go or your going to ruin everything." I said to them.

"Cora. How did your injuries heal?" Carlisle asked.

The question caught me off guard.

They were going to find out I wasn't normal I had to leave.

I looked him in the eyes and began to back away.

"I have to leave." I said.

When I turned Emmett was standing in my way.

I turned back to the Doc and Esme and found they were all surrounding me.

"What do you want from me? Why can't you just let me leave? Your just going to ruin everything. I never should have came." I started to say loudly.

"Ruin what?" Esme asked after my rant.

"My life..." I said before siting on one of the couches. They weren't going to let me leave. They wanted answers that I didn't want to give. But I was tired of running. Could I trust them?
