Be Careful What You Wish For...you just might get it

I woke up. Is this possible? Can vampires sleep? I don't know what time it is, how many days have passed? Did I sleep or did I blackout? Am I being sent to hell now? Did the Devil delay my trip because he himself didn't want me?

Recovery. I have proof I'm still alive; there is light and I still can see the fibres of dust each its own. I can walk and breathe, and I'm starting to think I worry myself too much.

Now that I am coherent I'm starting to get bored. I know I could read a book like I did yesterday but I'm losing interest and this cabin is starting to make me feel claustrophobic. So instead of being depressed and curling up into a corner I thought it would be nice to get out and wander around the forest. I would've gone to a mall or something but I don't think I would have enough self-control, not with the state I'm in.

It's a nice day outside. The leaves are changing colour; it must be autumn. The things I smell are so distinct, every smell is significant. I smell damp soil, crisp leaves, and burning firewood. Everything is so fresh here, it's like a rehabilitation centre for vampires. I laughed to myself at my own joke. I guess I really am that lonely and maybe it's better that way. I know I am not selfish , in my life I remember being a selfless person that's why now I think things are better this way. This way is better in the sense that no one gets hurt (or killed). Even if it means I'm getting hurt and I know living like this will...--

Something just attacked me! Ouch! It's heavy! My head just got smashed against the thick root of an old tree. I blacked out for a little while then I was back. Actually, I don't think I wanted to open my eyes. Nu-uh, what if some weird creature tried to jump on me again?! No way I'm going anywhere. As scared as I was, I was still quite curious to what actually did hit me and so I took a risk and opened my eyes.

"She's awake," I heard someone say.

The young man sighed, "Jacob, don't worry you were just trying to protect us."


I couldn't see my face right now but I could only imagine what it looked like; shocked and awestruck. There it was, the man from my dream and the russet-skinned guy was there too! Just like in my dream! I couldn't believe it who--

--but he got to it before me,"Who are you?" he asked with a stern voice and a his brows furrowed.

I put all my effort into these words--so I as well could defend myself too.

"N-n-natalie." It wasn't till then that I noticed his icy cold hands were clamping my arms to the ground; I had thought it was a boulder or something.

"Why are you here? Who sent you?"

I cleared my throat only to notice the burning hadn't deminished, I thought it was just a deer passing by that triggered it, but now I can tell it's coming from the man in behind. It didn't small too good nothing I would bite. It had more of a perfumy scent, i somewhat liked it. So I just held my breathe and said,"I needed to move far away from human blood so I ran and I just ended up here, in this forest. What's that smell?"

"Oh god," the man in the background that I could soon identify as Jacob finally spoke, "not another one."

'Another one'? Does that mean another vampire? I'm not the only one here? Wait...now I recall, the man in front of me I identified as a vampire in my dream so...

"Yes, that's right I am a vampire," now he said this in a kinder tone. Wait a minute did he just read my mind?!

"Yes," he replied with a smile. "Are you a newborn?"

"Newborn? I guess if that means I was...within a few weeks then, yes."

He offered a hand to lift me up and I took it without hesitation.

"You look young, how old are you?"

"Er, umm..almost 17."

"Hmm...who created you?" he asked in a more firm than kind tone.

"I-I-I...I don't know exactly. It was dark...it was in an alley...so scared." I went into freeze mode thinking back to these memories, if they are still there I know it must have been bad.

"Okay, it's okay. But you weren't in an army were you?"

"What?"

"An army, a vampire cult?"

"Oh, n-no of course not."

He went stiff all the sudden. He stopped breathing and starting examining me with his eyes.
"What? What did I do?"

"You are alive. You have a heartbeat. You have blood. And you have venom."

"And she has hands and she has feet...yeah it's a little obvious." Jacob said and then he went stiff too, "Oh, I get it."

The beautiful man took a deep breath, "Carlisle will know." Even though he was talking to Jacob he kept his eyes on me the whole time. I guess he thought I might take a chance and run for it.

I was so confused. Ever since I came here everything started moving at ludacris speed. It seemed like I just got here and already I find myself going to another vampire's house! Didn't I just a second ago think there was no one else but me? I s someone watching me and even worse, tapping into my thoughts?!
