I watched as the Cullen's gathered in a cercle and I sat down to wait. I watched their mouthes moving, but heard no sound come out. I wondered what they were talking about. I watched intently, trying to read their lips, but I failed.
"Are toi ready,"Edward asked as he turned back to me.
"Ready as I'll ever be."
I couldn't wait to see what was myth and what was true.
"First Emmett and Rosalie, they will demonstrate our strength and how impenetrable we are. Only vampire teeth and werewolf teeth can cut through our skin."
Edward sat down beside me. Werewolf teeth? loups garous exist? That was neat and it made sense, but then that would mean that they were enemies, are there any that live near here? Probably not.
I pulled myself back to the outside world in time to see a rock, three times Emmett's size being thrown at Rosalie. I felt my eyes widen as fear for the blond beauty announced itself. Why didn't she move?
Then it collided, but instead of squashing her, it actually shattered and she was left unharmed.
"Wow,"I murmured, my eyes getting bigger.
"Now Carlisle will montrer toi how fast we can run, he's going to lap this clearing 5 times. SO don't blink."
I watched with owl eyes as Carlisle disappeared, then reappeared about 2 secondes later much closer to us.
"You can run that fast?"
"Yes."
"What's next,"I asked aware that my voice sounded astonished.
"The senses, Esme is going to stand across the clearing from you. toi are going to hold up an amount of fingers from 1 to 5 and she will say what number toi are holding up. Emmett will stand behind you, facing the same direction Esme is and he will tell toi what Esme said."
He nodded at Esme and both of them got into place. I stood up, just to make sure Emmett couldn't peek.
I held up 4 fingers, then Emmett a dit 4, I gasped, then I held up 1 and again, they got it right. I repeated this notion 3, 2, 5, 5, 4, 2, 5, they got them all right. I realized my mouth was still open and quickly closed it. I realized that these abilities were totally awesome. I thought back to just before we took off for the clearing. I hadn't honestly believed Edward when he told me he could see every vein, but now I realized that they really could. Totally awesome.
"So, that's what vampires do. What about Alice and Jasper,"I was curious as to what they would montrer me.
"Well Alice, Jasper and I are going to demonstrate some of the gifts that all humans bring with them when they become vampires. At least that is what Carlisle believes. Carlisle brought his compassion, Esme, her ability to love, Rosalie, her beauty and Emmett brought his strength. He is stronger than the rest of us. But Jasper, Alice and I brought something special, an extra power, toi could call it. Jasper can feel and change the emotional atmosphere around him. We believe that when he was human, he could sense how some one was feeling."
He nodded to Jasper and all of a sudden, I was very angry. I wanted to smash someone's head in. Just as sudden, the anger disappeared leaving calmness and serenity in it's path. I didn't want to be calm, I wanted to be excited, but I couldn't feel anything but calm.
"Did toi feel that?"
"Yeah, that was really weird."
"Alice must have had some precognition. She can see the future at will, like she can see vampires best because she is one, she can see humans okay, because she was one, and she can't see loups garous because she never was one."
He nodded to Alice. She stepped vers l'avant, vers l’avant and turned around. I stared at her, wondering what she was thinking.
"I am going to tell toi the future. I am going to tell toi the forecast. There will be a nice sunny jour on Tuesday, and there will be a thunderstorm on Friday, so we'll be able to play baseball, it will be dry up here, it will go around the mountains."
"Okay,"I said, looking up at the cloudy sky.
"Would toi like to watch,"Edward asked.
I shifted my position, so I was facing him.
"That would be cool."
"But on Tuesday, I'm going to take toi to a clearing and I want to montrer toi something else about being a vampire that I can't montrer toi now."
What couldn't he montrer me now? Maybe it was about the sun.
"And I can read minds, Carlisle thinks it's because when I was human, I was sensitive to the thoughts around me."
I gasped.
"Did toi ever listen to my thoughts? I mean on the way here especially,"I practically shouted, I was angry and embarrassed.
He looked at the ground.
"Yes, I know what toi did, but I think your right, and if toi were a vampire, I have a feeling you'd have a power, I'm truly sorry, I just wanted to know you. I understand if toi don't like me anymore and if your mad, toi can still stay here, I'll just go somewhere else,"the pain on his downturned expression was even plus prominent in his voice. So he knew. He knew I killed someone. This was the final straw that broke the camel's back. He knew everything and he wasn't mad, but I was. My privacy had been invaded.
I glared at him before I took off. I just had to get away from him. He wouldn't dare follow me, even if he was a vampire, if he knew what was good for him.
I can't believe it. He knows my deepest, darkest secret and he's okay with it? How can he be okay with a murderer?
I needed to stop thinking, he was probably listening right now, so I let the forest scene take over my mind. I broke through the trees and into the door, the sun was setting, so it was probably around 7 o'clock, but I didn't care. I leaped onto the lit and cried myself to sleep.
