They're Not A Cross Between Flash and Supey

They're Not A Cross Between Flash and Supey

It's been a week since Edward's been in school so to say that I was shocked to see him in school again is an understatement.

Last week, I kinda got used to there only being four Cullens walking around in the school. I was actually beginning to think that the other guy died or something. I don't know. Maybe eaten by monsters. But then again, the Cullens are already dead so maybe he decided to visit the Underworld.

But that would mean that he has to get past Cerberus. That three-headed dog is sweet and playful, but he takes his job very seriously too. There's no way he's gonna let any of the dead escape. Unless my dad gave him permission to. But then that would mean Hades knows what they are. Maybe he'd tell me. But then again, why would he tell me? I'm curious but I'm sure he wouldn't tell me anything about the Cullens. He's very good at keeping things from me. Either that, or I just don't look hard enough, or ask the right questions.

Yeah, well, I still haven't learnt much about the Cullens aside from the fact that they're the living dead.

I had told Natty about my suspicions. She's never heard of anything like them either. Andi's just as clueless as the both of us in the topic. Well, actually, the two want no extra knowledge about death. They may be what people call 'bad ass' but they're totally afraid of all things related to death. They can hide that fear very well, though. I would never have guessed that they freak out every time I talk about the dead if they hadn't told me. I guess it's one thing that I'm not afraid of that they are afraid of. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm afraid of dying, just like most people. I'm just not afraid of the dead, which apparently my cousins are.

Okay, I really need to stay on topic. Seriously, I should stop rambling and whatever. Maybe it's the ADHD.

Great, I'm doing it again.

Anyway, the day had been pretty boring, aside form the initial shock of seeing that Cullen was back. I decided to further investigate and find out if my theory was correct - that the Cullens were dead. I haven't met Dr. and Mrs. Cullen, but I have a feeling that they, too, are dead like their adopted children.

They look like their adopted children, even though they aren't related. Well, I mean, they're all so pale and, truthfully, very good-looking.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the day. I packed my things made my way to my locker to grab a few things.

I sighed, slamming my locker shut, and headed out of the building.

I frowned when I reached outside. I really should have brought a thicker jacket.

Snowflakes were falling and there were some people having snowball fights.

The next day, I woke up to find a fine layer of snow covering the yard. The road was white and snow dusted the top of my car.

I quickly got ready for school then headed downstairs.

"Morning mom!" I greeted my mom.

"Good morning Lee-Lee," she responded before grabbing her jacket. "I'm going to work now." Then she left.

When she did, my only thought was: Who's going to make my breakfast?

I glanced at my watch and shrugged. I grabbed a box of Fruit Loops and started eating the cereal straight from the box. Hey, I may hate oatmeal, but nothing could make me stop eating Fruit Loops. I drank some orange juice then headed out of the house. The cool air hit my face and I mentally debated whether to feign a fever or actually go to school. Mom already left, so she can't tell me to go to school.

Ugh, I feel like a hypocrite for complaining about how Edward gets to skip school for a week when I'm planning on not going to school, too. But hey, it's healthy to skip sometimes. Plus, it's only one day, not a whole week.

Before I could change my mind, I got into my car and started driving to school.

I got to school and parked my car. Things were normal and I looked over at the Cullens who were acting as though they were normal. I'm sure they aren't, though.

Edward Cullen was staring at something, or should I say, someone. I turned to see who he was looking at. Isabella Swan.

She was, like, eight cars down from me, but I could see that it was her. She's a really pretty brunette. I've heard some sophomores and juniors talking about how she managed to catch the eye of Edward Cullen. I'm not one to judge people, but I think she's a nice girl. Anyway, Bella was standing by the back of her truck when I saw it.

A dark blue van was spinning wildly across the ice of the parking lot. From the looks of it, it was going to hit Isabella's truck. And the girl was standing in the middle of it.

I was too far to do anything. The poor mortal was going to be crushed by a van. There was nothing I could do.

And the the van stopped. I quickly made my way over to see what was happening.

I sighed in relief when I saw that the girl was okay. I can't say the same for the driver of the van, though. But I became suspicious when I realized that Edward Cullen was right there with her. There was no way he couldn't have gotten there in less than a second.

I mentally added inhuman speed to the list of weird things about the Cullens.

I glanced over at the rest of the Cullens, who were still standing by their very expensive cars. They were glaring, at who? Isabella? Nah, she couldn't have known that she would be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Tyler? No, they shouldn't blame him; he couldn't control the van. Edward? Yeah, maybe. He basically just made me 100% sure that they weren't human. Their glaring didn't help them either.

"Get Tyler out of the van!" I heard someone shout. There was a flurry of activity around them. People were crying and shouting shouting. The ambulance came and I was worried for the mortals. Not so much the Cullen, though. I doubt he got hurt.

It took, like, six EMTs and two teachers to shift the van far enough from them to bring the stretchers in.

Finally, the ambulance left for the hospital. I took this as an excuse to not go to school. I was planning on not going to school; I guess this was the gods' way of saying that I should.

I didn't go to the hospital. My mom is a nurse there, and she would be very disappointed to see that I wasn't in school. Instead, I went to La Push. The guy were probably in school, but I could think of things to do while I wait for them.

I sat on the grass in the nearby forest. I loved going here, especially when I wanted to be alone. I don't tell anyone though. They'd tell me it's dangerous here, even my mom. They don't know that I can handle myself. I mean, I've fought monsters before. I think I could handle a wolf or a bear. My mom knows that, but she can't help but try to keep me out of trouble. So far, I had been attacked by monsters only twice in the middle of the school year. I never tell my mom, though. She'll probably keep me locked up in the house. Well, even if she did that, I would tell her that it would be easier for a monster to find me, since my scent would be concentrated in that house.

I heard a wolf howl from a distance and I guessed it was time for me to go. I came across a wolf here days before. It nearly attacked me. Good thing it didn't. I don't know who would end up dead, me or the wolf. If it were the wolf, that would definitely be an accident.

I looked at my watch and realized that it was almost lunchtime. Woah, time flies by so fast. I got into my car and went to Port Angeles. I stopped by some restaurant then ate my lunch. After lunch, I went back to La Push. It was kinda cold but I could handle it. I stayed in the forest as I waited for the guys.

When I was sure that classes had ended, I went to Jake's house. I was very thankful for the warmth inside his house. I waited for ten minutes until the boys arrived.

"Hey LeeLee!" Jake greeted when he saw me sitting on the couch. I jumped off the couch. "Finally! I've been waiting for ages."

Jake chuckled. "You skipped school again, didn't you?"

"What do you mean again? It's my first time to skip school," I told him. He raised an eyebrow. "Okay, it's my first time this month." I corrected myself just as the other two idiots entered the room.

"Hi Lee!" Quil exclaimed once he saw me. Embry just smiled at me.

Honestly, I don't know how I feel about him. He's my best friend. But it's his smiles that make my heart skip a beat.

"Lee skipped school again," Jake told them. I glared at him.

"Aww, why didn't you tell us. Nothing ever happens at school. It's boring!" Quil whined.

"Yeah, well, waiting for you guys is boring. Especially since I had nothing else to do," I replied as I sat back down on the couch.

"That's why you should've told us," Quil said as he sat on the couch with me. I rolled my eyes.

"So, anything interesting happened today?" Embry asked.

I shrugged. "Some girl almost got hit by a van this morning," I said nonchalantly.

"Really? Is she okay?" Quil asked, worried.

"Yeah. She was unharmed last time I saw her." And maybe she would've been not okay if Edward hadn't saved her. Maybe the others didn't notice, but I had seen the dent in the car. It looked like Cullen had stopped the van just in time.

Super strength. Another thing on the "The Cullens Aren't Normal" list.

The day passed by quickly. Half the time, I was debating whether the Cullens were scientific experiments gone wrong, or monsters. I was pretty sure they weren't a cross between the Flash and Superman. They're way too awesome for that to happen - they being Flash and Supey, not the Cullens.

Mom had called Embry, asking where I was. I was thankful when he didn't tell her that I didn't go to school. (Technically, I did go to school. I just left when chaos started.) Apparently, I was late for dinner and mom was about to call the one police officer she knew that was a demigod to look for me. I guess she realized that she should've asked Embry first before jumping to conclusions.

When I got home, I was pulled into my mother's arms. I hate breaking curfew. Usually, when I do, mom would go on and on about how dangerous the world is especially since I'm a demigod. I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again. My mom is the coolest mom ever, but she's way too protective.
