Chapter Three

I got to the lunch table and sat down quickly, waiting for the Cullen's to arrive. The first one to sit down was Bella, and she looked at me with a slightly furrowed brow. "Are you okay? you kinda stormed off there." She said gently.

I didn't speak until the rest of them sat down, and when they did they all looked at me worried. "I need answers." I said, and just as Bella went to speak, I cut her off. "I need them now, tell me what's going on. it's obviously about me, I can tell."

Edward tensed slightly but sighed. "Nothing is going on Clara." He said in a smooth voice.

"Your lying, I'm not an idiot." I said bluntly. It was so obvious that it was sad. Slowly I pulled out the sketch book and looked down at the page where my dream doodles where drawn, each one in chronological order, the great detail and different colors sickening me.

"What's wrong?" Jasper asked curiously. Sighing I slid the sketch pad out on to the table, and Cody's jaw dropped. "Oh... that what's wrong." Jasper said, surprise creeping into the tone of his voice.

"Dang, that's.... cool!" Emmet said enthusiastically and gave a huge goofball smile.

"When did you draw these?" Rosalie asked, pulling ten close enough for her and Emmet to get a better look.

"During art." I said grimly. 'While I was sleeping.' I thought quietly to myself.

"Wait, you say you drew in your sleep?" Edward said in astonishment. When he did that they all froze and I looked at Edward with wide eyes.

"Y-you just read my mind...." My voice croaked as I looked panic rising up in me. "That-that isn't possible!" I said, my heart rate speeding up and beating hard against my ribs.

"Calm down Clara." Jasper said, setting a gentle hand on my shoulder, and somehow I began to feel calmer.

I realized that every time I began to panic and Jasper was around, I was instantly calm. "How did you do that." I said, hands shaking as the panic returned.

Cody jumped in to divert my attention, but when he put his hand on my arm, his hand was so hot it left a red blotch. "What the heck!" I said yanking my arm away.

"Clara please calm down!" Alice said desperately, up until now she was in a trance.

"No! What's going on? I want answers!" I said hitting the table with strong force.


After a couple classes of failed negotiations I went home, made my dad steak, and helped him sort through the family pictures. We had to put together childhood albums, and then we sorted through the ones that we had gotten from my great grandma. "Be right back pumpkin, I have to make a work call." My dad said getting up and patting me on the head.

"Okay dad." I said with a smile and picked up another picture. Glancing at the back to figure out when it was taken, I found myself shocked. 'Graduation party with the Cullen's 2012' In disbelief I flipped it over and nearly dropped it in surprise. There in the picture stood my great grandma Angela with her arm slung over, who I'm guessing was her boyfriend at the time, and on her other side Bella stood. In the back ground I noticed all of the Cullen's gathered, and then two others, who I'm guessing is Carlisle and his wife.

I picked up another picture labeled 'Prom 2011 Junior year.' And flipping it over I saw Bella and Edward dancing in a gazebo. I shoved the two photos in my back pocket and got up. My dad walked in and looked at me puzzled. "Do you know where the Cullen's live? Bella forgot her book with me an I just remembered." I said, and I wasn't completely lying, Bella left her Biology book in my locker.


After I had gotten the address from my dad, ripped out the drawings I had, grabbed my keys, and driven down the long dirt driveway, racing up the steps, and nocking on the door, a blonde haired man answered. "Hello?" He asked with a dazzling smile.

"Hi, I'm Clara Mellow." I said smiling at him.

"Ah! Clara, I've heard so many great things about you from your father, who is a great surgeon by the way." He said motioning for me to come in.

"Thank you... umm, I need to talk to you, and I guess the rest of your family too." I mumbled the last part.

Despite the puzzled look he nodded. "Family meeting." He called, in a somewhat low voice. We all gathered in the pristine living room, some sun peeking through the blinds that covered the glass wall. After getting tons of welcomes from the part of the Cullen's I was far miller with, and two I wasn't. One said his name was Jacob, the other said hers was Renesme, but everybody called her Nessie, we got down to business. "Clara says she needs to talk to us, you know how to conduct yourself." Carlisle said, the last part of his sentence for some reason aimed at Emmet.

I didn't spend any time easing into it, I pulled both the pictures out and put them on the glass coffee table. "I know who you are." I said crossing my legs and clenching my jaw. I could feel the sketches that I had drawn and torn out move in my back pocket.

"What's this?" The one they called Esme asked, picking them up, and then dropping them onto her lap once she saw.

"My Great Grandmother Angela Webber and my Great Grandfather Mike Newton had these photos before they passed them down, why would you guys be in them?" I asked raising an eyebrow and pursing my lips. "How old are you guys?" I thought for a moment then shook my head. "Scratch that, what are you guys!"

Carlisle took a deep breath and sighed. "Clara, there is no point in trying to fool you on this..." He sat down next to Esme and took her hand. "We aren't human."

"Well no dip! I don't mean to be rude, but come on! Edward read my mind, Alice zones out every time I pull out my sketch book, Jasper some how makes me calm down when I panic, Bella narrowly avoided being flattened by a car, and all of you are in a picture from ninety years ago!" After the fast slur of words had come out of my mouth I had to stop to breath, and Esme's body sat perfectly still, she didn't even breath.

"Clara I'm sorry... I know this is all confusing but-" Jacob said in a low voice, him and Nessie where sitting next to me, but he stopped, and everybody gasped, when Nessie's hand shot out and touched my cheek. Images flashed in front of my eyes at a rapid rate, what I'm assuming is ninety year worth of things. The last image to flash in front of me, and stayed there for long enough, was an image of Edward and Bella drinking deer blood. She took her hand away and I looked around, shocked at it all.

"Your vampires." I said in an almost whisper.

Jacob held up two of his finger. "I am not Vampire..." He said, and then I remembered one of the images was of Jacob transforming into a huge wolf.

"Werewolf..." I said, and he nodded slowly. I got up shaking, and Carlisle rushed next to me, his vampire speed nearly giving me whiplash.

"Calm down Clara, please." He said putting his hands on my shoulders.

I backed up and broke out of his grasp. "P-please don't touch me." I said shaking my head, tears burning in my eyes. "I-I need to get out of here!" I said running out of the living room, and running down the stairs. They where still slick from the weeks of rain we had gotten, and I wound up slipping and falling. My head bashed off five stairs as I tumbled down, and I laid at the bottom, my consciousness fading into black as I laid there.
