Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. :)

I was about to go hunting in the forest surrounding my house, with Nessie, when I smelt her. She smelt like flowers and rain, it was a interesting combination that fit her personality perfectly. She was turning down the long, twisty driveway. I was more than a little shocked to hear her car coming up to the house, and I was growing anxious.

I didn't look anything like I did when I last saw her six months ago. The last time I saw her was at my wedding, my human wedding. How was I going to explain my topaz colored eyes, my colder and paler skin, my new beautiful features?

I looked over at Nessie who was running ahead into the forest, how was I going to explain my daughter to my best friend?

"Nessie!" I called after her "Come here. We can't hunt right now."

I grabbed her hand and took her to our cottage. "Edward!" I said once I walked through the door. He was sitting down, reading a worn copy of some book that he flopped down on the coffee table in front of the couch.

"Angela is here, she needs to talk to all of us." He said, his voice strained. He was speaking through clenched teeth. "We need to take Nessie with us."

We ran to the main house, the trees blurring into green swirls. The sky was covered in dense grey clouds, another typically rainy day in the little town of Forks Washington.

"What's going on Edward?" I asked before we had made it to the house.

"Angela has something that she needs to talk to you about, love." He answered, his face a perfect façade of calm.

"Well, this is shocking." I said as we walked inside the larger house.

"Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rose, Alice, Jazz. Please come here." His words were barley a whisper, but it was enough to have the whole family come rushing into the living room. They sat down, just as Angela made her way to the end of the driveway.

Alice spaced out, seeing things that were about to happen, things that we couldn't see. Her eyes returned to normal and she shoot a panicked look at Edward. Who shrugged his shoulders.

"Well this isn't good." Alice said.

"What is going on?" I asked, again.

"Alice?" Jasper asked.

There was a timid knock on the door and I heard Angela as she took a deep breath, at first no one went to answer the door. We all looked at Alice, waiting for a answer. Finally, Carlisle went to open the door for Angela.

"Well, this is a wonderful surprise Angela, please come in to my house."

"I'm here to see Bella. Is she here?" Angela asked in a small voice.

"I'm in here!" I said, my voice sounding like bells as I talked. It was just like meeting Charlie all over again. I got up, walking to the door. "Hey, it's so great to see you again!" I said, giving her a hug as she walked into the house.

"Bella." she said, pulling back to look into my topaz colored eyes. "I know what you are, and I want you to change me too."

If my heart hadn't beat in months, it would have skipped a beat now.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to play dumb.

"I know what you are Bella. I know what all of you are." She said, looking across the room at my family. Her eyes resting on Nessie for a moment, then she shook her head and looked back into my eyes. "Vampires." She whispered.

I was shocked, not only did my human best friend know about the secret existence of vampires, she wanted to be one. Suddenly, I felt the weight of the decision Edward most have been wrestling with when I asked him to change me. I didn't want to take her soul, even though I technically knew that I wasn't going to take her soul.

I didn't want to be the reason why she never experienced the human experiences. I wanted her to grow up, finish college, get married, start a family, die. All of the human experiences that I would experience as a immortal.

I shook my head "I don't know what you're talking about." I said, still playing dumb.

"Please." She pleaded, her brown eyes growing wide. "I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important, I promise please."

"Why?" I asked. I wasn't technically admitting that I was a vampire, but I wasn't denying it either.

"It's Ben." She said, looking like she was on the verge of tears. I took her hand, leading her over to the seat. "A couple of months ago Ben disappeared for a couple of days. Then all of a sudden there were bodies turning up all over Seattle, always close to the campus. I was so, so afraid that he was dead too. Then he showed up. He looked different. He looked like a Cullen." she said, looking around the room full of vampires. "He told me what he was and that he was leaving. He didn't want to put me in danger, he didn't want me to suffer the way he did. Please, Bella I need to find him."

"What makes you think we are vampires?" Rosalie asked in a harsh voice

"I was in La Push a couple of days ago. Trying to find out everything I needed to know about vampires. I was at a campfire, that little girl was there." she said, locking eyes with my daughter. "They told a legend about the cold ones, and all the Indians started teasing her. Then that Jake guy, your best friend Bella, told her that it was a great thing to be a Cullen."

I shook my head "I can't."

"Who turned you?" She asked

"Edward." I said in a shaky voice.

"Edward? Can you please turn me." she asked, looking at Edward with her big pleading eyes.

"Angela, vampire life is not as glamorous as it may look." He began

"I don't want this because of the beauty or anything. I'm doing it for Ben." She said. "Is there anyone in here that will turn me? Please." She begged, her voice small.

"Bella." Carlisle said "She's a human, and she knows too much. It's either vampire life or death. I'm sorry, but I don't want her to die when she clearly doesn't have too."

Angela looked at Carlisle with hopeful eyes "Will you turn me, please?"

Please review :) Thanks!
