CHAPTER SEVEN
"Would someone please speak?" Carina exclaimed. "This is exactly what I thought would happen. I don't want you to think about it. I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I don't, I don't feel sorry for me. I was able to make my friend happy for the first time in her entire life, I'm proud I feel that way! Don't pity me!" With that she ran out of the house.</P>
They were shocked. They only moved their eyes to see everyone else's face with the same expression. Edward looked at the door Carina ran through. Why did she change so quickly? What happened?
'Edward, tell everyone to give me some space.' </I>Then her voice was gone.
"Carina said to give her some space." Edward said in a monotone.
"I don't understand what happened. I didn't see her acting this way in my vision." Alice said confused. Then it hit her, her vision ended right after the story finished. And the other vision of the family finished when everyone was together. She never actually thought of how Carina would react to the family knowing.
"I think that since she has had to fend for herself for five years, she hasn't had anyone help her. And that when others help her, she thinks that they only pity her." Carlisle said after a moment's consideration.
"She thinks that we pity her?" Rosalie asked confused and shocked. She knows that Carina is the type not to want pity. She learned that when they first met and Carina didn't want to be in the family at the exact moment Carlisle asked her to join.
"Yes, I felt pity coming from everyone of us. And she can read my mind. She maybe she thought that, that was all that were feeling." Jasper said.
"But I wasn't feeling any pity for her, maybe she confused being sad that she had to got through that with pity." Rosalie said.
"Rose I don't think that, that's the only reason she left." Emmett said. They stared at him. "Look this isn't the easiest think to tell someone, even the one's that you trust. She's using this as an excuse. So she can recollect herself. I don't know about you guys but to me she doesn't seem the type to express herself freely.
"I think that she needs time to put her shield back up. She doesn't like to feel weak; to her showing this kind of intense emotion is being weak. Needing Jasper and Alice there because she wouldn't be able to do it alone is also weak. She's proud. She hasn't needed nor wanted help. She has done everything by herself and now she needs help. She's not accustomed to this." Emmett said feeling proud.
"Your right. This is unmarked territory for her. Imagine how hard this is for her." Esme said nodding.
"When do you think she will be ready to talk to us again?" Rosalie asked.
"At the latest, Monday." Alice said.
Meanwhile Carina had just finished telling Edward to tell the others to give her some space. She didn't even understand herself why she ran she just did. In a few minutes she reached her apartment. She opened the door, closed it, and sank to the floor. She tried to control herself but found that she couldn't. Her eyes began to sting.
She rocked back and forth. She hadn't thought about Debbie this much for almost five years, now she was realizing why, it hurt too much. Debbie had hurt her from the first moment she asked to die.
"Why did I run?" Carina asked herself out loud.
'Because you won't let yourself feel.'
a voice inside of her head said softly.</P>"That's not true." Carina said defiantly.
'You know as well as I do that after Debbie died you locked yourself away. She took a part of you with her in that fire. Jasper was right when he said that it was all a façade. You can't stand to be alone'
"I've been alone for five years."
'No you haven't. Not truly at least. Your human friends, though few and not there all the time, they kept you company.'
"I did not lock myself away." Carina said she knew the other argument was lost.
'Yes you did. You haven't opened up like this for five years. The last time you did, you lost a friend that is why you ran away. You believe they want something from you, like Debbie. Because like Debbie, they had you open up. But you know they don't, all you want to have is a reason to run.'
"I don't run for anything."
'This isn't 'anything' this is your fear. Opening up, then losing them.'
"They won't understand. They can't, perhaps Jasper, but that's it. They haven't been through anything to compare to this. The rest won't understand." Carina said trying to convince herself.
'The fear of losing the one you trust is a big one but never trusting because of that fear is not good. Taking that risk in the end is worth it.'
"I did trust someone, look where that got me. Too scared to share my feelings. I used to do that to the point of driving others insane. Now I can barely do that without running."
'But you know trusting them would be different. Every case of trust is different. You have to trust them. You have to for me…'
The voice faded with that last word.</P>Towards the last sentence she could have sworn that it was Debbie. Then when the voice said 'You have to for me…' She knew that it was definitely Debbie that she was hearing. Like that night, Debbie spoke to her like the whisper of the wind. She wasn't stubborn enough not to believe the voice. She knew she could trust her new family. They are not Debbie.
She didn't move from that spot until she heard a knock on the door behind her. She got up and opened the door.
"Hey C.C. didn't I say that I would visit every weekend?" Brendan said smiling.
"Listen Brendan I would love to stay and talk with you all day but I was just headed out." Carina said trying to sound normal
"Really where?"
"Over to Alice's house."
"Her bothers there?"
"Yes so is a whole pantry of booze, a bunch of underage students, and no adult supervision." Carina said sarcastically.
"Well okay have fun. Don't forget to have a designated driver." Brendan said smiling knowing that she was joking.
"I won't, I'll see you next week." Carina waved as she went to her car. Carina sat in her car, debating. She wasn't sure if she should go yet. 'You have to trust them. You have to for me…' The voice replayed in her head.
She turned the car on. She had the radio on, the volume as high as it would go. She knew the voice was right; there was no use in fighting it. She thought of their faces when she told them, of the silence. They didn't pity her. They felt bad that Debbie wanted to go and Carina had to be there. Now Carina felt stupid that she was even thinking that they pitied her. They only felt love for her. She started to think of the horror on their faces, she felt bad that now they have this memory along with her. This is not something you want to share with others.
Carina arrived at their house. She turned off the engine. She stared at the house and got out of the car slowly. She walked slowly to the door. She knocked but no one answered. She knocked a few more times. She closed her eyes and focused on the inside of the house. She felt that someone was still in the house.
"Come on, please open the door. I came to apologize." Carina pleaded to whoever was on the other side of the door. As if they were magic words, the door swung open.
Carina walked in cautiously. She looked around then went to the living room. "SURPRISE!" Everyone exclaimed as the lights went on. There was a huge banner across the room in red and gold that read:
Apology Accepted! We forgive you! </P>Carina laughed. No one usually had the guts to surprise her. Now that she looked around everyone was at least three arm lengths away from her.</P>
"Can I guess that I am forgiven?" Carina asked sarcastically.
"Yes you can." Alice said happily. Carina hugged her first.
"Edward was right; you are a tricky little monster."
"That's his form of affection. At least I think it is." Alice said smiling. Esme hugged Carina next.
"I'm sorry." They said at the same time, both laughed. Then Rosalie hugged her.
"Carina just so you know I think you are a very strong person."
"Thanks Rosalie." As soon as Carina released Rosalie, Emmett pulled her into a bear hug that could put any other bear hug to shame. He swung her around. "Thanks Emmett I needed that." Carina said when he put her down.
"Anytime." He winked at her. Carlisle walked up; he looked at her in the eyes before he hugged her. Jasper came next.
"You did it, you didn't need us there. Debbie was right you are a survivor." He whispered that last sentence.
"So feel better after your run?" Edward asked when Jasper left.
"Yeah running clears my mind. But I'm sick of running away. Running should be fun not to getaway. You can understand right, why it took me so long to trust all of you? Look at what happened the last time I trusted someone."
"Of course, after hearing that story it surprises me you even started to try to trust us in the first place." Edward said nodding.
"I know Debbie wouldn't want me to stop trusting because of her. Thank you for understanding." She hugged him. He hugged her back. Then something clicked in his head. She let go and smiled up at him. The light was back, it was gone when she started the story. She pecked him on the cheek before turning to talk to Alice.
"Pay up." Jasper whispered to Emmett.
"Fine." He couldn't pretend he didn't understand the look on Edward's face. Emmett grabbed a hundred dollar bill from his pocket and gave it to Jasper, who smirked.
"Now we have to wait for Carina." Rosalie said who didn't miss the exchange between the brothers.
"I'm not betting this time." Emmett said. The other two stared at him. "Carina is way too unpredictable. She could figure it out tomorrow or in a year."
"Good thinking." Rosalie said.
"Emmett you're on a roll today." Jasper commented.
"Thank you, so let's join the party." Emmett grabbed Rosalie's hand and dragged her with him. Jasper went to Alice, who was still talking to Carina.
"Hello ladies."
"Hey Jasper." Carina said smiling.
"So what are you two beautiful women talking about?"
"Nothing that concerns you." Carina said a little too sweetly.
"Really don't I get to be the judge of that?" Jasper asked raising an eyebrow.
"No." Alice said in a tone matching Carina's.
"Okay." Jasper said eyeing at the pair suspiciously.
"Don't worry it's not something bad. But it does involve shopping." Carina said.
"Shopping is nothing but bad." Carina and Alice gasped. They wore the same hurt expression.
"How could you say that?" Carina asked in a voice that matched her face.
"I don't know I'm not a shopping guy." Jasper said shrugging.
"Well this shopping shouldn't be that bad." Carina and Alice shared a look.
"I would ask what that look was about but why ruin the surprise." Jasper said while he was backing away.
"I can't wait, can you?" Alice asked once Jasper left.
"Nope, I'm glad you're gonna help me. When should we tell them?" Carina asked.
"In a month there's no hurry."
"Do you have any idea what you want to get?"
"How can I, you gave me the idea like an hour ago?"
"Good point. I'm still so excided. I can't wait why does it have to be so far away?"
"I know. Let's just try to hold ourselves together."
The month of September went by quickly. The students fell into the routine of their schedules quickly. Then it was almost the end of October. In this school, they didn't give dances except for senior prom. The principal made the announcement that dances caused too much of a distraction. Carina, Alice and Rosalie thought differently.
On Monday October 23, the first part of the day went as usual. Then it was lunch.
"So Adam what are you doing for Halloween this year?" Carina asked. Alice and Rosalie smiled at each other.
"Nothing much. Staying at home watching horror movies. What about you?"
"Well I'm throwing a Halloween party." Carina said in an offhanded way. Everyone at the table stared at her. "Yeah we've been planning it and thought it would be fun." Carina said shrugging.
"Who's 'we'?" Edward asked.
"We is me, Alice and Rosalie."
"Aw, well don't I feel left out." Emmett said.
"So what do you guys think?" Alice asked.
"Who's invited?" Jasper asked.
"So far us." Rosalie said pointing around the table.
"That's only twelve." Jen pointed out.
"We're working on it. Actually I was thinking everyone can bring up to two people. So that would be around thirty people." Alice said.
"Where's this little party being held?" Edward asked.
"I already rented a place. After we're done with it will be the best haunted house ever." Carina said. "So do you think you'd come?" There was a scattered sound of agreement.
"Great we'll get the invitations started after school. We'll give them to you tomorrow." Alice said. Carina and Rosalie nodded in agreement. RING!
"Come on Edward, Jen." Carina said as she got up. Edward and Jen said goodbye to everyone before they got up to follow her. "Edward, Jen I got to warn you, you have to wear costume. That costume has to be run by me. If you don't get a good one, then I will have a few for you to choose from." There was an evil glint in her eyes that made them nervous.
"Carina no offence but coming from you that sounded like a threat." Jen said her words matching what Edward was feeling.
"That is because, Jenny, my dear, it was." Carina said mischievously before disappearing into a classroom.
"Now that was scary." Edward mumbled.
"Tell me about it." Jen shivered as she walked into the class.
After school Carina, Alice and Rosalie were in Carina's bed room.
"So six or seven?" Alice asked.
"Um seven." Rosalie said.
"Okay it ends at twelve." Carina said.
"Snack table?" Alice asked.
"I'll take care of that."
"Music?"
"I already got a DJ." Rosalie said.
"I already wrote down the place." Carina said.
"Don't forget to add that if they don't have a costume they can't get in." Alice reminded her.
"Yeah got it."
"I think that's it." Rosalie said.
"Oh the extra people have to arrive with the person that invited them." Alice said.
"Got it." Carina said as she finished.
"Good." Rosalie said falling onto Carina's bed.
"Carina why did you choose red and gold as the color scheme?" Alice asked looking around.
"I like the way they look together." Carina said.
"Hmm it seems like you have green and silver together, then blue and bronze, then black and yellow."
"I don't know I just like them."
"Okay. Carina have you been anywhere outside of North America?" Rosalie asked.
"Yes Italy and England. My coven actually went on missions. In Italy I met Felix, Demetri, Jane and Alec."
"You met the Volturi?"
"No only those four. I found England magical. I loved it there."
"Did you make any friends on these 'missions'?" Alice asked.
"Yes in England, one of them got married last year, it was beautiful."
"I love weddings."
"I do to." Rosalie said.
"So when do you want to go shopping?"
"Tomorrow. Should we let the guys choose their own costumes?"
"No. Knowing Emmett he'll choose something really stupid." Rosalie said.
"And knowing Jasper and Edward they will choose something safe." Alice said.
"So do we go as a group?" Carina asked.
"We can go in pairs." Rosalie suggested.
"Me and Jasper." Alice said.
"Me and Emmett." Rosalie said.
"Poor Edward is with me." Carina said.
"I'm sure he'll survive, he's been on shopping sprees with Alice." Rosalie assured her.
"So Alice, you and Jasper got tomorrow. Rosalie, you and Emmett go Wednesday. Edward and I go Thursday."
The next day after school Jasper got unwillingly into the passenger's seat of Rosalie's convertible. Alice was already in the driver's seat.
"Bye Jasper." Carina said patting him on the back. He closed the door and they locked automatically, Alice sped off.
"Everyone in my car." Carina said. She got in the driver's seat, Edward in the passenger's seat, and Emmett and Rosalie in the back seat.
"Where is Alice taking Jasper?" Edward asked out loud.
"Costume shopping." Rosalie said.
"No wonder he looked scared." Emmett said.
"Your next." Carina said.
"Why can't Edward be next?" Emmett whined.
"Edward is last with me."
"Never mind I'd rather be next."
"Why am I last, what did I do?" Edward asked.
"Nothing you're just last. It's just Alice and Rosalie chose to save their mates before you." Edward looked worried. "It won't be bad. It's not like I'll make you go as a frilly ballerina. That would be too scary for Halloween." Carina said causing Emmett chuckled. "Though Emmett I wonder what you would look like in a tutu."
"Been there done that." Emmett said.
"Wish I could have been there."
"Jasper dared me."
"Would you do anything for a dare?"
"Depending on the dare."
"You can be two different people can't you?"
"You're one to talk."
"Come on Jasper, we both know who's going to win this fight." Alice said as they stopped in front of a costume shop.
"Alice, I don't like shopping for regular clothes, what makes you think I would like to shop for costumes?" Jasper whined.
"I don't think you'll like it, but I think you won't like Carina mad at you much more."
"That's not fair."
"So, who says I play fair. Now come on or I will call her."
"I'm coming." He grumbled finally getting out of the car. Alice put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him inside. A bell rang.
"How may I help you?" A middle-aged man asked from behind the counter.
"We're just looking." Alice said. She dragged Jasper to the men's section. "Now the dressing room is over there, you pick out what you like." Jasper gave her a look. "Never mind you try on whatever I give you."
"Okay." He went into the dressing room. Alice went to the racks. She took her first pick to Jasper, trying not to laugh. She went to a chair.
"I am not coming out and you can't make me, Carina or no Carina." Jasper said from inside the dressing room.
"Come on Jasper."
"No absolutely not."
"Really quick."
"Oh alright." he stepped out for a second then went back in. Alice was shaking from suppressed laughter. Jasper in a bunny suit has to be the most hilarious thing she has ever seen. "Alice that was not funny."
"Sorry the opportunity was there. Here try this one." She handed him another costume. He came out willingly this time. "So what do you think?" He was in a king's outfit. It had a cape and a scepter. "Perfect. I'll be right back." She disappeared, Jasper changed into his normal clothes. He went to the women's section and waited. Alice came out wearing a flowery gown that went up to her knees.
"You look beautiful." Alice smiled and went back to change.
"See it wasn't that bad." Alice said as she walked out.
"I could have done with out the rabbit suit."
"First it was a bunny suit and second I said I was sorry." Alice said as she paid for the costumes.
**********************************************************
"How did it go?" Edward asked when Alice and Jasper got home.
"Fast." Alice said.
"Jasper," Carina said with an evil smile, "want a carrot?" Jasper growled, causing Carina to laugh.
"What's the joke?" Emmett said.
"Nothing." Jasper said still growing.
"Jasper calm down." Carina said still giggling.
"You had a vision, didn't you?" Jasper accused Alice.
"Sorry Carina was there and saw."
"I won't ever mention it. I promise." Carina put on a too innocent smile. Jasper groaned and took the bags upstairs.
"Carina you shouldn't do that." Alice said.
"I couldn't help it. Sorry Jasper." Carina said knowing that Jasper would hear her.
"So Emmett do you know what you're going to go as?" Alice asked.
"Nope." He said popping the 'p'.
"How about you Carina?"
"I was thinking La Llorona." Carina said.
"Who's that?" Edward asked interested.
"Supposedly she's a woman that went mad and drowned her kids in a river, and she haunts that river. If you take a bath in the river you'll see a lock of her hair because after she killed her kids she drowned herself. Only a few have lived to tell the tale. On reality she's a vampire. She lives at the river and hunts there.
"You met La Llorona?" Jasper asked coming to a stop by Alice.
"Yes she wasn't half bad. I doubt anyone here has heard of her."
"True or you can go como un Diablo." Jasper said.
"That wasn't nice." Carina said.
"When are you ever nice?"
"Touché señor Karr." Carina laughed.
"Carina, play a game with me." Emmett said.
"Depends on the game." Carina smiled as she read Emmett's mind. "I don't want to humiliate you."
"Ha no one has beaten me before."
"Arm wrestling, really Emmett?" Edward chuckled.
"None of you have beaten him?" Carina asked.
"He was the last knew born."
"Ah well Emmett let's go outside." Carina held open the door. Emmett smiled and led the way. Carina went back, "Are you guys going to wait for an invitation or what? Come on." Everyone followed Carina. Emmett was ready by the time they reached the clearing where he was.
"Carina ready to loose?" Emmett asked.
"No are you?" Carina asked she went to stand opposite of him.
"Nope." Emmett said popping the 'p' again.
"Let's see how this goes." Carina grasped his hand, which swallowed hers.
"Okay you two, try not to cheat." Jasper put his hands on top of theirs. "Go!" both of them pushed at the same time, neither of their hands moved. They were both trying. Carina wanted to win, to keep the score the same. Then she felt something and pushed with strength that she didn't know she had. Emmett's hand smashed into the rock they were using. Both, Emmett and Carina looked shocked. Then Alice started to cheer and the others followed. Emmett got up and stalked off, muttering to himself not even they could hear him. Carina stayed where she was, unmoving. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She grabbed it and flipped him over. She was on top of him, her knees on either side of his waist. He was face up.
"Sorry Edward." Carina got up and pulled him with her.
"My fault, you'd think I would know better by now." Edward said dusting himself off.
"Yeah, I need to go home."
"Why it's only seven?" Edward asked.
"I promised to tutor Ethan tonight." Carina said quickly. She spoke fast even for a vampire.
"Oh good bye then." Rosalie said. Carina hugged all of them and gave them all a kiss on the cheek. "See you later sore looser." Carina called to Emmett before she ran.
"Whoa she's fast." Edward said.
"Yeah and strong, did you see how she beat Emmett?" Alice said.
"I think she's lying." Jasper said.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't think she has to tutor Ethan tonight, I think she wanted an excuse to go home."
"Why would she lie to go home?" Rosalie asked.
"I don't know but did you see how shocked she was that she won. She usually boasts after a win."
"Your right she usually knows she's going to win." Edward said.
"We can ask her tomorrow. Let's go find Emmett before he does something stupid." Rosalie said.
By this time Carina was already at home. She knew that tomorrow she would have to explain herself to them. At this moment she needed to sort out her thoughts. She already knew the answer to the question in her head. There was no other way to explain it. Her power wasn't what she always thought it was. It wasn't to create fields or to read minds. Her power had to be to copy others powers. Now that she actually thinks about it, her power to create fields came only after she had met Estelle. Then her power to read minds came after she met Edward. When Emmett had challenged her to the arm wrestling, she was so sure she was going to loose. Then out of nowhere something's strength was added to her strength. She had a feeling that it was Emmett's strength. The same with the speed. She wanted to get away fast and the speed was added to her. She knew that Edward was the fastest and she felt that she was faster.
Should she tell the others?
'That's a stupid question.'
The voice was back.</P>"Thanks I know that."
'Then why ask it?'
"Force of habit." There was a knock on the door. "Yes?"
"It's Carlisle, may I come in?"
"Hey Carlisle, sure come on in." Carina opened the door.
"Hello Carina." Carlisle walked in. Carina closed the door and led him to the living room. They sat down out of habit.
"So what brings you here?"
"Is there something you would like to tell me?" Carlisle asked looking at her. There was something about his eyes that reminded her of someone she knew in England.
"Well I was planning on telling everyone tomorrow but since you came all the way over here I'll tell you now." Carlisle looked at her waiting patiently. "I found out my power today. My power is not to create force fields or to read minds it's to copy others powers."
"Really? How so?"
"I couldn't create force fields until I met Estelle. I couldn't read minds until I met Edward."
"Are there other powers?"
"I had a friend who could duplicate herself. And another that could create fire and he could move it with his mind."
"Do you think you can do that?"
"I'm not sure." Carina started to think about the people that had those powers. "I can't Carlisle." She felt her eyes burning with those never coming tears that were driving her insane. Carlisle went to her and hugged her.
"Shh it's okay, you don't have to. Would you like to stay with us tonight?"
"Yeah might as well explain it t everyone else." They went in Carlisle's car. In Carina's rush to get home she left her car at his house. Esme was waiting for Carlisle she didn't expect to see Carina with him. "Hello Esme." Carina said smiling.
"Hello, so to get you here I just have to send Carlisle?" Esme asked.
"Most likely it would work but I also needed to talk to everyone."
"Good timing everyone is in the living room." Esme said. Carina led the way. Carlisle kissed Esme on the cheek and followed.
"Hello everyone." Carina said when she entered the room.
"Carina? What are you doing here?" Alice asked confused.
"Well I had something to share, and Carlisle brought me since I was headed here anyway."
"But I didn't see you coming. You really have to stopping being so unpredictable; you are giving me a migraine."
"Sorry."
"So Carina what did you need to share?" Jasper asked.
"I found out something about my self today. My power isn't to create force fields or to read minds it's mimic others powers."
"Really?" Jasper asked interestedly.
"Yes."
"That makes sense because when you first read my mind you seemed shocked. But you covered it up so fast that I wasn't sure." Edward said.
"I didn't have an answer so I just let it go." Carina said smiling at him
"So Carina you have all of our powers or abilities?" Jasper asked.
"Most likely but I haven't tried yours or Alice's."
"Try it now."
"Okay let's see." She didn't know where to start. She was confused. Soon her confusion turned to frustration. Then the rest of the room felt of frustration. She stopped, everyone went to confusion.
"Great job. I couldn't even do that for a while." Jasper said.
"You know I think I have had a vision before. Alice remember when you had the vision of Debbie, I wasn't reading you mind."
"Maybe because I had one you had one?" Alice said trying to make sense of the situation.
"Wait." Rosalie said rather loudly. Everyone stared at her. "Sorry, Carina didn't you say that you met Jane, Alec, Felix and Demetri?"
"Oh shit. Sorry" She added when Esme gave her a look. "You know your right. Too bad we will never know."
"What do you mean?" Emmett asked.
"Emmett do you know what Alec's and Jane's powers are?"
"No."
"Jane can cause unbearable pain and Alec can block all of you senses." Carina's voice made all of them including her shudder.
"Are you speaking from experience?" Edward asked. He was standing a few feet behind her. Carina turned her head to look at him. She smirked.
"Yes I am." She saw everyone's expressions. "Come on you have known me for months, are you even really surprised?"
"Now that I think about it I'm not that surprised." Rosalie mumbled.
"Why would you do that?" Edward asked shaking his head.
"I'm alive so what does it matter? So anyway I'm sorry about running out. The thought of it threw me off and I need to think about it."
"So that means you have my strength and Edward's speed added to you original strength and speed?" Emmett asked.
"Basically."
"Now I can never beat you." Emmett grumbled.
"Sorry Emmett, if it make you feel any better I thought I was going to loose."
"Really?" Emmett said, his face lighting up.
"Yeah, I'll see you guys later."
"Where are you going?" Esme asked.
"I need to hunt."
"I need to too." Alice said.
"Anyone else?"
"I'll go." Edward said,
"Come on." They ran out. Carina had to slow down so they could keep up with them. They stopped well away from the house.
"Coincidently we have deer, a bear and mountain lions." Alice said.
"I call the bear." Carina said.
"Mountain lion." Edward said.
"I got the deer." Alice said.
"Do I have to watch again or can we go our separate ways?" Carina asked.
"I think we are all grown up enough to go alone."
"See you in a few amigos." Carina zoomed off. Alice and Edward went to find their prey.
Edward finished first; he didn't really need to feed, he just wanted a reason to be with Carina. When he was done he followed Carina's sent she was in a clearing wrestling with a bear. She was laughing. The bear was very agitated. Carina seemed to be having fun. Then suddenly she snapped the creature's neck. She had her back towards Edward when she was done she stood up then her back stiffened. Edward knew that running would not help so he stood still. Carina turned quickly, she was crouching and growling. Edward could only focus on how beautiful she looked. Carina was still in hunting mode so she didn't register it was Edward.
Then Edward felt her shield closing in around him.
"Carina?" Edward asked hesitantly. Carina straightened up quickly. She looked at him confused.
"Carlos?" Then her eyes went wide. Alice came into view slowly. Carina shook her head.
