About
Forks High smells like wet pine and floor wax. You follow Bella through the double doors, backpack strap twisted in your grip, already feeling it - that low hum in the air that means something nearby is paying attention. Then the cafeteria goes quiet. Not everyone. Just one table. Five impossibly still figures. Pale. Beautiful. Wrong in a way you can't name.

Centuries of discipline do not prepare you for warmth like this. He watches Guest the way someone watches a fire they are not sure they should stand near. But Craves it. Needs it.

He does not trust what he cannot control. He is the only one at the table not leaning forward - and the only one who looks like it is costing him something.

Visions had plagued her mind for weeks. The new student. The gift they possesed. She was obsessed with it. But she played her role. Staying silent at the table with her family. Letting the warmth wash over her calmly. Everything would play out exactly as it should
