Biting and Scratching

Class is in Session

This meant nothing to me, what was the potential, and why am I showing it?

"Alice explained to us what happened at school, and we would like to offer you help, we want to give you the ability of control, and see just how far your abilities stretch, and if they are anything like Alice's vision, you will be able to do a lot more than just read minds."
"Ok, that's enough for now, it's a lot to absorb and I know that the very best way to do that is through a makeover!!" Alice input, apparently having enough of the seriousness of it all, pulling me away from everyone else, dragging an apparently unwilling Rosalie with her.




Once we were settled in the room which was apparently a spare, Rosalie and I were sitting very awkwardly on a bed, while Alice disappeared to go get some stuff. "What if it happens again while I'm at school?" I blurt out to Rosalie, her widened eyes telling me she was surprised at my outburst.
"I know you don't want to hear this, you don't seem to like me very much" I chuckled dryly, "but what if it does, what if I accidentally lose control and read the teachers mind during a test, or if someone's handing me something and I accidentally touch them and see their whole goddamn life! What if someone finds out that I'm different?"

Rosalie looked at me shocked.
"Ok, first off, I don't hate you, I just didn't trust you at first because Alice gave us no warning," she gave me a small, sincere smile, "and I'm sorry this is happening to you, you had your whole future laid out in front of you, you're just a kid, and now it's never going to be the same. But don't worry about it, my family will help you." She laid a reassuring hand on my shoulder, before pulling me into a hug, not to tight, but not loose either.
"But what if-?" She cut me off as I was about to repeat my questions.
"If you read a mind during a test, good for you. That is a good part of it." She smirked, laughing softly, only to be cut off by the booming laugh of whom I assumed was Emmett. "Sorry about that, living with a house full of vampires, you never get full privacy," she joked, "and as for the seeing their life thing..." she paused, thinking, before disappearing for a moment, before reappearing next to me once more, with her hands hidden behind her back, "just don't make contact until you are sure it won't happen." And with that, she pulled out from behind her the most gorgeous pair of gloves I have ever seen.
They were thick and black, the tips of the fingers a soft leather with an intricate lace design of butterflies curving around the wrist in an eggshell white.

"Here," Rosalie tried to hand the gloves over to me, but I moved my hands up in a surrendering gesture.
"Rosalie, no, I couldn't possibly!" I insisted, only for Rosalie to push them towards me once more.
"And I insist. Don't worry about it, Alice buys all of our clothes in multiples in case something happens to one of them, besides, I think they would look great on you."
I smiled, hesitantly taking them from her grasp.
"Thank you Rosal-"
"Call me Rose, we're friends now, right?" I smiled happily, nodding.
Almost as if sensing that our conversation was over, Alice chose that moment to enter the room, carrying a bunch of clothes, my bags and some makeup.
A look that was almost akin to playful horror crossed Rose's face
"No, nonononono!" Rose seemed genuinely against the idea of Alice holding onto the makeup, which confused me. Alice always looked so pretty, so why was Rose glaring at the makeup like it had just reached out, bit her, then gone back to Alice's arms?
"Oh come on Rose! You never let me do your makeup!" Alice sent me a pleading look for help, which I let a small giggle escape at,
"Yeah, come on Rose, it can't be that bad," I laughed.
"You're just saying that 'cause you can escape to the land of sleep, I have nowhere to run from Alice and her hobbies." Muttering under her breath slightly, Rosalie whined, turning to me, almost begging for help.
Sighing, I realised the only way that both parties would be satisfied, "Ok Alice, how about I promise that, not only will you be able to do my makeup now, but also before school?" A squeal was released from Alice's mouth, as she covered her mouth to attempt to drown her excitement, "however, you have to let Rose do her own makeup."
"Fine, sure! It's always easier to do a willing face than someone's who is always trying to get away!" Alice finished, sending a joking glare over to Rose.

And that's pretty much all that happened during the sleepover, Alice did my makeup, planning all the while what she would do in the morning, as they told me animatedly about their family, and how their mates/boyfriends/husbands were different from normal human marriages. I guess if both parties are going to be alive and living together for eternity, then it'd be kinda awkward if they broke up...
At about ten-thirty, Alice sent me to bed.

..........
Not even joking, she actually sent. Me. To. Bed...
Even without super vamp hearing, I was able to hear Emmett's booming laughter as Alice pushed me into the bed that I was sitting on, instructing me that I needed beauty rest otherwise I'd have bags under my eyes.
