The Cullens

The Cullens, in all their years as vampires, hadn't paid any attention to humans… they were weak… foolish… too sensitive… that was until the penultimate year of 2004. When you arrived.

It was the end of the year, an awards ceremony… Edward came second in English and math, Alice in science and social studies, and Jasper in government and Spanish… everyone was baffled that a human could do that. But after that, they earned respect… and interest in you… and it also helped you become more beautiful than the average person.

Almost a month of the last year had passed… they were still watching you from time to time… they had also discovered that you were a shield. Jasper, Alice, and Edward couldn't get their powers to work on you… they found you very interesting. And you were so… indifferent. You were quiet, and Edward could hear people's respect for you, but you were one of those loners… the truth is, they didn't know if they had ever heard you speak before…

It was a rainy Tuesday morning... and little Jessica, who was said to be quite the talker, wouldn't stop talking about you. You confronted her in the hallway without a camera, and it ended in a fight. You won, but she ripped out one of your earrings, and it hurt terribly. So now you were in the bathroom, trying to clean the blood from your ear and hair. All five of them had heard the fight and could smell your blood in the air. They'd be lying if they didn't say they were a little worried. And, obviously, Jasper, Edward, and Emmett couldn't go into the bathroom with Rosalie and Alice, but the two of them went in anyway. You watched the two girls as they did. Alice smiled. She was the least intimidating of them and her "sister," as the humans called her. She came over, taking the liberty of moving your hair aside to clean the blood from your ear with a paper towel while murmuring in her light voice.

"Let us help you... we saw everything that happened..."
