MADDIE

Sat at the back and out of immediate shot of the teacher, Maddie dug her phone out of her bag. Her phone was bleeping away numerous notifications, and it was with a fond yet sad smile she scrolled through them all. She missed her pals back home, she missed England. She really did not get America, so many things were different. She couldn’t quite grasp this driving on the other side of the road, and she was convinced she was going to have a crash soon. The numerous advert breaks during the TV shows here were different, and she was pining for the Soaps and reality shows she adored back home. Maddie desperately wished she had siblings so at least she wouldn’t feel so isolated. Her father was so often busy with his new wife, and whilst Maddie got on with her, she wasn’t one could call a friend. She sighed and rested her chin on her hand as the English teacher announced the years study plans, and of an upcoming trip they’d be taken on to watch a play.

Maddie was aware of the attention she was receiving from the other students, and was constantly in their eyes or on their tongues. The blonde pushed a hand through her hair and tried to act indifferent to the attention she received, but in truth it was starting to grate on her. Maddie wasn’t exactly a shy person or an introvert, but being stared at was enough to make anyone feel uncomfortable. She jotted down notes and spent most the lesson secretly on her phone, talking amongst her friends back home and telling them all about life state side.

The lesson continued and Maddie took little notice of what was going on. When her phone quietened down she was left with either education or her thoughts, and what was prominent was those red eyes. She thought back on her vision, and she remained confused. Previously whatever she had seen had always come true, had always been to do with the familiar. Yet now she could make no sense of those blood red eyes and the gleaming teeth, nor of the sun, it was all nonsense. Maddie found herself looking around for someone with red eyes, as if it would be staring right back at her. And when the bell rang, the confusion had developed into a genuine headache.

ON ITS WAY

Of Stone Hearts and Love (Rosalind x AutumnFrost)

Again, I find myself begging forgiveness.

I have been in hospital for a while and as such I lost all interest in writing. However I am now getting back into the swing of things and will get you a reply done today.

I am so so sorry for the wait.

Abundance of ideas

Bump.

MADDIE

Maddie had hoped the girl hadn’t noticed, she hated trying to explain what was wrong whenever she had one of these visions. People would think she was crazy if she told them that she saw things! They always came true though, whatever she saw had happened. So what on earth did that mean? Red eyes were only seen in films and the sun had yet to make an appearance here in Forks, it left her confused and a little unsteady. But she had no time to dwell as Risa was in front of her, a familiar look of concern etched on her face as she looked to Maddie.

But the blonde offered a smile and tried to brush off what had happened, cursing this condition she had. It had been useful sometimes; it had gotten her out of a few dangerous or troublesome situations, and had saved her backside more than once. But when she looked like an absent freak clutching her head in public, she could have gone without it.

“I get these headaches sometimes” Maddie lied reaching into her bag and pulling out a bottle of water. “They come and go really quickly” She added, downing half the bottle in once before making her way again. “Oh, and I’m Madison… Maddie” she said introducing herself.

It took sometime but eventually the pair found their lockers, and she was thankful it wasn’t at the other end of the building, but rather situated close to the cafeteria. Off-loading half her bag and hanging her coat in the locker, she checked down her schedule once more and was a little disappointed to learn they wouldn’t be sharing a class until Gym. With a promise made to meet up on break, Maddie made off for the English building.

The English building was quite the distance away and it took Maddie some time to find which room she was supposed to be in. Although she was quickly accosted by some of the regular Forks students who were in awe of her and kept asking questions, something she managed to get out of when she finally found the English room she needed. Maddie made her way into the class, still trying to make heads or tails of that vision as she handed a piece of paper to the teacher before being directed to a seat at the back of the classroom.

EDWARD

The message was sent and Edward did not have to wait long for a reply. Carlisle phoned straight back and Edward hid behind a row of lockers, and told Carlisle everything. The senior Vampire sounded concerned, and told Edward he would look into all that he could, and that Edward was to tell the others of his problem with the smell, so that they could keep an eye on him. Edward refused of course, he hated the thought of being babied but he was certain Carlisle would inform the others anyway. He would not act out of malice but rather protection for his adoptive son. Edward had a deep respect and fondness for Carlisle, and could not carry disfavour for anything he did in the interest of others.

With the phone call ended he continued on his way to the history block, and was thankful to learn upon arrival that he was seated towards the back once more. Edward was already advanced in his education, having taken school several times already. But as he did not sleep he spent his forever expanding his knowledge. He was well versed in all subjects, both practical and theory. Edward had to often ignore the urge to correct teachers when they distributed incorrect information. He knew it was the same for Jasper when they learnt about the Civil War. Jasper had actually served in it and knew more than anyone alive today.

Placing his bag on the table he pulled out the notebook and pen, though any notes he took would be for show only. He’d taken history numerous times and always excelled, receiving perfect grades on all his work and exams. Once he used to make errors on purpose just to look more human, but out of habit he just wrote what he knew. The Cullen clan all help perfect grades, despite occasionally having to miss school, like when it was sunny. Rosalie spread the rumour that when the sun was out they all went hiking or camping, and no one ever questioned it. They couldn’t risk coming to school when the sun was out, the shimmering skin would give them up as something not quite human.

Edward remembered he had been too still too long and he moved his shoulders and moved his chest, following the routine of actions to make himself look more human.

All the Sinners Crawl

This dead then?

MADDIE

“Honestly don’t worry about it” Maddie replied. “To be fair it was only a matter of time before I walked into something, haven’t got a clue where anything is here” she added a slight saddened frown as she pushed her hair back from her face. When Maddie asked about the locker she instantly saw the hesitation in the other girl, and for a moment Maddie felt a little awkward. She knew from her own time back in England at school that showing around the new kid wasn’t exactly a desired job. But her ill ease was quickly quashed when the girl explained that she was one of the other new kids she was told about. Suddenly Maddie felt relief and she couldn’t help but smile.

“Yeah, the admin lot told me about the merge when I signed up” she said. “I got to confess, I am a little relieved. I really didn’t want to be the new kid” Maddie added with a light chuckle, as now she was one of twenty odd new kids here. When her company said that her locker was right next door, the blonde’s sense of relief increased and she felt almost hopeful about the first day. Maddie did not want to become one of those desperate sorts, and she had never had trouble making friends, but there had been a sense of gloom about this day. She was in a real non touristy part of America and she was English, she had been warned people would both be enthralled and in awe of her. The fact that she was on route to making friends with someone, she felt silly for being happy.

So Maddie agreed, and shared a joke about their lockers being down some dank corridor as they walked. But a little less than five steps in, Maddie froze and her eyes creased. Something about the blonde which no one knew was that she had vision, premonitions about the future. They were never set in stone and were always a little blurry, and once Maddie had been terrified of them. But she tried to ignore it, putting it down to weird symptoms of a headache. She placed her fingers to her forehead as the foggy image flooded her mind, and she saw a pair of honey coloured eyes and a set of the most perfectly white teeth, and an image of the sun. It lasted only a few seconds and the blonde shook it off, pretending nothing had happened.

EDWARD

“Yeah, until it’s time to head back to Alaska and start again” Edward said somewhat grimly, thinking about the continuous cycle of their lives. They could only stay here so long before people would start to question why Carlisle was not aging. Carlisle loved his job and he was a remarkable doctor, and he had been at hospitals all over the country. But for the teen looking Vampires in his family they would have to go back to school and play the role of students once more. Edward loved to learn, but the curriculum hadn’t changed much. And he grew tired of the same old teenage drama that riddled schools. And not to mention the admiration all the Cullen’s received.

They were just inside the threshold of the school and someone’s mind hit him, a new one. It was different, it was seeing something, and there was a supernatural element to what she was thinking. And the subject of her thoughts caused Edward to feel alarmed, more so than that delicious scent that had hit him earlier. This mind was looking on Jasper, though she did not know it due to the foggy blur. But she saw both amber eyes and glittering sun, and there was a content feel about it. Edward’s hand tightened around the straps of his bag and he looked back to Jasper. Was this mind having a vision? Was that possible? Well, Aro had visions of sorts, although his more relied on contact before he could read every thought of the subject. This was more an image of the future, or so Edward believed.

“Things are changing here” Edward warned, and he departed company from Jasper and headed to his history lesson, whipping out his phone and texting Carlisle quickly on his way.

Fandom role plays

So sorry for the delay. I will be replying today.

MADDIE

It was only once inside that Maddie made to take her hood down. She really had once thought that America was warm and sunny, yet the constant downpour of rain showed no signs of easing off. She was already miserable when she made to reach into her bag for the wad of papers when someone knocked into her, causing her bag to fall from her hands. “Wonderful” she groaned, bending down quickly to scoop up her belongings and stuff them back into her bag before they got kicked about the soaked floor. “I am fine… It’s fine” she said to the perpetrator, yanking back her hood and shaking out her curled hair.

Once composure was regained, Maddie looked to her company and she smiled. There had been no intent to come across as rude, and she smiled, slotting back into her usual happy ways. “It’s fine, honestly” She said with a sincere smile and unfolded the paperwork and looked to her allotted locker and its code. At her old school they had had lockers, but they were all key operated. She remembered having a locker right down the back end of the school, and it had taken a great deal of begging to get herself moved to the main part of school. But she already knew that this school was completely different to her last school. For one thing, she would have finished school back home, compulsory education stopping at sixteen. Being back in an educational establishment when she was supposed to be finished wasn’t exactly the most heart-warming matter.

“Hey, don’t suppose you know where locker 216 is do you?” She asked looking up to the girl as she peeled her own hood back. Although it was more than clear by her English accent, she continued to say “You can probably tell that I am new here… and I haven’t even stopped to look at this map they gave me” she added, stepping away from the entrance to the school, not missing the looks of all the students as they poured inside.

EDWARD

“I’m sure it was nothing” Edward said, forcing himself to compose. He looked down the length of his arm to his car and to the folded metal beneath his knuckles. He growled in frustration as he straightened his arm out, flexing his fingers. They didn’t hurt, he couldn’t feel physical pain. But under the guise of being human he rubbed his fingers and looked back around, and the smell had gone.

That smell had been like nothing else; in all his years as a Vampire he had not smelt anything as delicious as that. It was what the word euphoria would smell like if it had a scent, it was almost intoxicating. It had taken every inch of his resolve not to follow his hunter’s nose and kill this person, his humane side winning only by an inch. Edward was usually the most composed, was able to distract himself away from the blood lure and focus on enough things, and eventually that desire would fade away.

But for some reason today something broke through, a scent appealed to him more than anything before. He needed to speak to Carlisle about this, but knew the man was in surgery this morning. Hoping it was just a one off due to the influx of students; Edward looked to Jasper and shook his head. “It’s nothing” he said as he pushed off from the car, doing his best to act calm so that Jasper could not read his anxious mood.
