Chapter 13- Frozen

Different, I thought my life would be a total one eighty but it wasn't. I was still the odd ball out. I thought I would be running around learning to use my vampire skills and I thought it would be fun. Not frustrating. When we got back I ignored everyone and walked into Edward's room and shut the door. I guess Edward's room was mine now too. That boosted my mood a little. I was curious what they were all saying about me down stairs. Rosalie probably trying to get me kicked out of the family; Carlisle and Esme trying to be patient with me, Alice using her visions to see how this was all going to turn out, Emmett cracking human jokes at my expense. Jasper confused by me. Edward hopefully saying if I left he would too. I guess me becoming vampire-like was causing more issues than me staying human. The day was winding down, and something outside the window caught my attention, daylight. It was touching the ground from the setting sun. I jumped up and ran. I slid down the banister, which surprised the vampires debating my future in the living room. I threw open the door and ran outside. They followed me to see why I was in such a frenzy. I stood on the last step of the porch. I looked up at the sky and stepped out into the sunlight. I realized my eyes were squeezed shut. I slowly peeled them open and looked at my exposed skin. There it was. Nothing, my skin wasn't sparkling like Edward's. I flipped my palms upward but no difference. I pulled my arm right under my eyes but it was just my skin. I didn't sparkle or even glitter. I threw my arm away from my face. I turned on my heel and walked back into the house. Alice touched my shoulder but I didn't feel it. 

Some time later Alice knocked and entered.  She saw me just simply staring out the window. "Did you see anything?" I asked without looking at her.

"No." she sounded disappointed in herself. "So you don't have to hunt! I personally think that's awesome!" She shouted. I turned to look at her. "Now stop moping about it!" She crossed the room and sat on the window sill in front of me.
