Barbara Ellen Palmer Cullen

Chapter 1: After the Change

When I first woke up in this life. Alice had willing help with my clothes. Edward had taken me on a hunting trip. Carlisle would help me understand what I had become. Jasper would help me stay calm. Emmett had been waiting to try and wrestle with me. Rosalie glared at me with disgust. Esme had been trying not to look at me with sympathy and sorrow. I did not mind my new lifestyle. It would take some time to getting used to my new voice. Edward had known that my throat was burning. He had been nice about it and took me hunting. When I was about to run, I had smelt something sweeter than the deer that I had taken down. It had been a hiker, that wandered off the trails. I was about to attack the hiker when Edward had grabbed my hand. That was how I found out about my powers to see someone's past and future. Also, I could feel the emotions in the scenes that flashed before my eyes. Edward could not use his power while my power was in use.

Because I was a newborn, they would have me stay with someone of them at all times. They had tried to keep me away from humans for a few years. For me, it was going to feel like a lifetime of waiting to go back to school. While everyone left to go to school or work, except for Esme, who stayed with me or let me help her in the garden. I would spend my time reading books. Learning how to play several different instruments. I also learned to paint a few pieces of art.
