AVALON
I instantly calm my breathing and focus on explaining myself to them, before i think about whatever it is that's set me on edge. It takes alot, but only seconds take place before i speak. "I'm part vampire, part human, but i'm more human than vampire. Normally i heal afster than what I did. I don't know why i healed so slowly," I tell them. I sit up. A blond-haired man who had been hovering over me, puts his hands out to steady me as I struggle to hold myself up.
I take in my surroundings. Something smells horrible....But i can't sense whatever it is. I purposefully think of the pain in my chest, trying to distract myself. i don't want my vampire instinct to take over in front of this family. I am relieved that i'm no longer numb anymore. After seconds, it turns into a light, dull ache. Within another second, it's vanished completely.
"What's your name?" Bella asks.
"How old you?" the emotion-controler asks.
"My name is Avalon and I look like i'm seventeen. Only i'm really hundreds of years old," I tell them.
The doctor, i'm assuming he is anyway since he helped me with my wound, has a very kind heart. I can sense the goodness inside him...The need to help others as he sees them in need. He never wanted to be this...monster. He'd always wanted to help them as much as he possibly could. He speaks next. "I'm Carlise. This is my family. The one who can see the future is Alice. Over there to your right, is Edward. Behind him is his wife, Bella and my other son Jasper," he pauses.
Edward is the mind-reader. Jasper is the emotion-controler. Carlise speaks again. "And over there is Jacob."
That's when i realize there was someone else in the room I didn't know had been there. the stench is coming from him, burning my nose. Instantly, my sense scream danger to every nerve in my body. My senses are all on high-alert now. I try to breathe slowly, to calm myself and focus in to see if this...Jacob...will be a danger to me.
I sense a connection then, more powerful than any force on earth, than anything i've seen or heard of in all my years. He has a good heart. He's been hurt before, broken and shattered. But this connection, whatever it is...Has healed him. Whatever's keeping him here overpowers the pain he's felt in his past. And by "here" i don't mean here in this house.
I mean like here as in, on earth. The entire reason for his existance is this connection. it might not have been his reason for living before, but this is that reason now. I mean, the connection wasn't always there, but it is very powerful.
I can't hold back the growl that escapes my lips. I've been hurt for so long recently that it's hard for me to risk being hurt again. "Jake don't," Edward murmurs. "She's only frightened."
"I"m not going to hurt you. I'm the alpha in a pack around this area. We only kill vampires who are a danger to the people here, to our family," Jacob explains.
Pack, I think, of what?!
"Of shape-shifters. They transform themselves into wolves," Edward says, answering my thoughts.
Wolves, werewolves?? Even i can't hold back the growl as it escapes my lips, the hunter in me takes over, my senses exploring every option of escape, every detail around me. I have to keep them talking to distract me....I can't hold on much longer...
"What did you mean when you kept mentioning a Renesme earlier? Who is she? And how could she be like me?!" I demand. My voice comes out harsher than intended because of my instincts taking over.
"You have no right to mention her! Leave her outta this!!" Jacob yells.
"Or.....what?" I snarl. Without warning or anything I tackle him, which pushes us both out the back door, nearly ten feet away from where I'd started.
I can't control it any longer. Once we're outside, Jacob phases so that only miliseconds after I attacked him, he's a huge wolf standing on four powerful legs.
I hiss and attack.
