I open my eyes, to find that everything was extremely clear, to the point of seeing dust particles up close. I sit up to find myself at the Cullen's house. I make my way over to the mirror in the corner of the room, which felt like only two steps.

I'm shocked, upset, and angry. All of these emotions running through my head as I stare at my red eyes, and clear pale skin with no blemishes through the mirror.

I take a step back, I feel my eyes tearing up yet no tears run down my face. They stay stuck in my eye, as a glaze.

"No." I whimper. I walk outside and pinch myself, before going back in to look once more to see if I was dreaming. I wasn't.

I leave the room and sit on some steps and close my eyes. My throat burns, yet I don't have the stomach to fulfil its wish. It's craving for blood.

I listen quietly to the nature around me. I felt someone sit next to me and pull me in for a hug. Rosalie.

"I want to say that it will all get better and that I could somehow magically make you human again."

"There's no use. I won't be human again. I'll be stuck like this forever."

"Why don't we go hunting, I..."

"No, I can't get myself to feed off an animal, not yet. I wish I could feed without physically having to kill for it."

I picture a cup filled with blood. If only I could be given that instead of hunting, I wouldn't feel as bad.

"Um, Sophie."

I look up to find that, that exact image in my head of the cup had appeared right in front of us.

"Rosalie, I think I have a gift."

"Alice did have a vision of you, but I don't believe she ever mentioned a gift. Drink up and we'll talk to Carlisle."

I did what I was told and drank the blood, before getting up. Rosalie held my hand as we walked into the house.

Everyone, except Bella, was there to welcome me into the family. The atmosphere in the room is somewhat solemn, I guess as I really didn't want to become a vampire.

"Looking good Sophie."

"Thanks, Em." I smile at him and giggle as he lifts me and spins me around.

"Welcome to the family."

"Thanks." Carlisle and Esme welcome me.

"Honey, I know this is going to be hard for you, we're here to guide you."

"I just, I can't help thinking about Paul. Do you think he'll hate me, now that I'm, like this?"

"He'll love you no matter what."

"I wish I could see him." I thought of Paul being here to hold me in his arms. How he would look down on me and encourage me to think about things positively.

How I once was. Human in his arms, my blue eyes, freckles and every blemish. I wouldn't be this, this monster.

"Oh my god."

"What?" I ask looking around at everyone's expression.

"Sophie?" I turn around to find Paul, standing there confused. I didn't care though, I rushed into his arms.

"Sophie, did you think about Paul and you being human again?"

"Yeah?"

"I think we a have a new gift under our room."

"The only thing is though I have a timer on my arm. I'm not sure what that is about."

"Wait, so how are you human?"

"When Sophie and I were outside she said..."

"I said that I didn't want to go hunting and kill animals, and I thought of how a cup of blood would make me feel less sick of the thought and there it was. A cup of blood."

"Let's try something. Think of yourself as a newborn." I pictured myself as a newborn I was less than five minutes ago. My flawless skin, red beady eyes.

"It worked."

"So what exactly can Sophie do?"

"Her ability is the manipulation and control of thoughts. Sophie can think of an object or person, possible an event and it will do as she pleases with one simple thought or wish."

"Cool."

"It can be rather dangerous. You could think of something by mistake, it could cause destruction."

"The Volturi would love to get their hands on you."

"We won't let that happen. Aro will call upon you to visit him to indeed prove you are one of us. You could perhaps prevent him from knowing of your abilities."

"That's risky Alice, they might see through her lies."

"That, and I can't exactly lie."

"Or hide what you're thinking."

"Hey. It's not my fault I'm upfront, but when they want me to visit, will someone come with me?"

"We'll find out when and then we will organise something, although if it is soon you may have to go alone as the wedding planning will take most of our time," Alice said, which confused me.

"What wedding? Who's getting married?"

"You don't know?"

"Obviously not as I wouldn't be asking?"

The Cullen's all looked at each other, before back at me.

"It's not our place to say."

"Just tell me. Who's getting married? Why all the secrecy?"

"It's Bella and Edward." Rosalie finally told me.

"What? No, Bella would have told me." They all looked rather upset. Which means it has to be true.

I walked out of the room with Paul in tow. "Sophie."

"I'm her twin sister, I haven't been gone for that many days. Why didn't she tell me?" Why?

'She thought you would be jealous.'

'She thought you would tell Jake.'

'She's upset that you're a vampire and not her.'

All these words appeared in my head and I was fuming. I have to go see her. Make her explain herself.

I know that Alice won't see it coming because Paul is here. "Sophie everything alright?"

"Yeah, everything's fine. I'm sorry that I brought you here, you should go home and get some sleep. I'll come round tomorrow, in my human form that is."

"Okay."

"I'll walk you out."

"Okay, it's good to see that you're alright."

"You don't mind that I'm like this?"

"No, I love you either way. Plus you don't smell like the others." Paul laughed. I walked him out to the front of the house and said goodbye.

Paul left and when I knew that the Cullen's wouldn't come out, I made a run for it. Well, I thought of myself and Bella in her room. I was instantly transported into her room.

"Bella what the hell?!"

"Sophie."

"Sophie stay away from her."

"Freeze Edward." With that Edward froze and couldn't move a muscle.

"What did you do to him?"

The blood started to pump through Bella's veins, creating this sickly sweet scent. Her blood was calling to me.

No. I need to be human. Be human.

"What do you think Bella?" I open my eyes and she gasps.

"You're eyes are blue."

"It's a gift I have. Now, why don't you tell me why you're jealous of me, why you think I'd tell Jake about the wedding and why you're upset about me being a vampire before you? You think I wanted this life?"

"Sophie, why are you getting all upset?"

"Because we're twins, we're supposed to tell each other everything. You hurt me, Bella. I had to find out from the Cullen's that my older sister was getting married. Why?"

"I just, I don't know. I'm sorry Soph." I shook my head and turned around. I unfroze Edward and transported myself to wherever Paul was.

"Sophie? Why aren't you with the Cullen's?"

"I confronted Bella. It didn't go as planned."

"Come on, you can stay with me."

"Can we get food, I'm really hungry."

"Like human food...?"

"Yes, Paul. I'll only need blood if I turn back into a vampire."

"You could stay human forever."

"I can't. I questioned why there was a countdown on my arm whenever I turned human. It means how long I have left to transform back into a vampire before I die."

"So how long do you get?"

"Oh, I get a year."

"So, you have nothing to worry about. Come on, I'm meant to be over at Emily's we can eat there."

"Want to make things fun?"

"How?"

"I transport us to Emily's."

"Those guys would get a shock."

"We could pretend like everything is normal and they would think they're going crazy."

"Let's do it. We should also pretend that you never even turned into a cold one."

"They're going to be so confused."

As I was technically human, this is going to be so much fun. That and I could also eat Emily's cooking. I hope she has cookies.

I held on tight to Paul and pictured us both in Emily's house, standing around the table. The next thing you know we're there.

"Hey, guys. Did you save some food for us?"

"Yeah, I'm starving. Emily, did you make any cookies?"

They all looked at us like we have two heads.

"What?"

"You guys okay? You look like you have just seen a ghost." I say trying not to smirk.

"But, how are you? How did you?"

"You have blue eyes."

"Yeah, last time I checked I was born with blue eyes."

"Maybe we should just leave them, they could be sick."

"You turned into a vampire."

"I did? Paul, do you ever remember that happening?"

"Nope."

"What's going on?"

"Sam I think your boys are having a fit," I say pointing behind me to the stunned and confused boys.

"You're human, how?"

"It's my gift. I can do pretty cool things and one of them is turning myself back to human, but only for a year."

Paul and I turned to the boys and smiled cheekily. It all clicked into their heads and they all looked down into their laps still comprehending that we fooled them.

"Well, I'm glad you're alright." Emily came over and hugged me.

"Thanks, Em. Oo, you smell nice. Is that a new perfume?"

"It is, now why don't you come and eat something?"

"With pleasure. Hopefully, Jared doesn't eat all my food." I say looking at him, I'm still upset that he ate more than half of my cookies.

****

I had stayed human for about a week now. I didn't want to see Bella or Edward so I stayed in La Push, sleeping at Paul's house.

"So when will the Volturi bloodsuckers make you come in?"

'They sent a letter to the Cullen house, it should arrive tomorrow.'

"The letter arrives tomorrow, so I'll need to go round to Carlisle to speak to him."

"Is anyone going with you?"

"You heard the conversation we had. No one will be able to come with me because they're too busy sorting out the wedding."

"Well, I'm sure you'll be fine."

"They'll try and make me live with them."

"Why?"

"Power. They want all vampires with gifts to join them."

"You're not going to right?"

"No."

"Seeing as you may be going to Italy tomorrow, why don't you and I enjoy our night."

"Yeah, before I'm expected to help out with the wedding planning and prep, even though I knew nothing about it."

"Is there going to be others of their kind coming?"

"Probably, so I would mention that to Sam. As well as you are going to be my date."

"I have to go?"

"Yes, Paul." I laughed.
