* NOTE: These are not characters that I made up…. These are Stephanie Meyers characters.*

"Edward why can't we go see Jacob for the day…or is my assumption right that you can't be within 30 feet of him without wanting to rip his head off." I said, while getting into the passenger seat of Edwards silver Volvo.

"No it's not that, it's just being allies with the wolves is still very new for me. I'm used to being their enemies." Edward replied, as he started the car and backed out of the driveway.

I guess I might be rushing it, they'd just become "friends" (or at least the closest thing they were going to get to that) and put aside the rivalry that kept them from even breathing the same air, let alone getting along. I thought about that for a minute and I guess I understood that.

"Yeah I guess it takes some getting used to…I think Seth was the only wolf open to the alliance, Sam seemed pretty mad about it." I said

"He was. I could hear him yelling in his head, saying that if this didn't mean so much to Jacob he would have left us as enemies" Edward said trying and succeeding at making himself sound smart.

"What about Seth he doesn't seem to mind being around vampires. Then there's Quil and Embry." I said.

Yeah he's the only one that was ok with it. Quil and Embry were supporting Jacob on this which surprised me" Edward said answering my question. "And Sam is one of the tougher wolves, so he's not usually open to new ideas that don't benefit him."

"it doesn't surprise me. Quil and Embry are Jacob's best wouldn't they." I said. "it would be Paul and Leah I'd be surprised at."

"Well there's no surprises coming your way anytime soon involving them two," he said. "Mainly because Paul agrees with Sam on everything and Leah doesn't like any of us."

It hadn't even seemed like long and we were at the drive way to his house. After all the times I've been here it still seemed hidden.

"How do you know where your drive way is? If I had to drive here myself I'd never see it until I'd almost driven by it" I said.

"it's something like our talents, you know Alice's future seeing the future, Jasper's changing peoples moods, and my mind reading. Only we all have it, we can see every detail….like right now I can see every stitch and thread in your shirt.' Edward answered.

" Wow. That must be part of the reason why your house is so clean. If you can see every detail, you can probably see every dust particle." I said as he got out of the car after pulling the car to a stop when we drove up in front of his house.

After he got to the other side of the car in light speed (it's another vampire thing) and helped me out of the car, we went into the house.

As I walked in the beauty of it took over me. I could never get used to the openness of the house. It was always clean and light. The whole back wall (or at least where the wall should have been) was a big window. Which is what made the house look so bright. As we went to go towards the living room where everyone was sure to be, we walked by the wall with all of their grad hats on a frame. It was sort of a joke for them. They moved around so much that they graduated at least 7 or 8 times each.

"Bella!" Alice said with excitement when we walked in the room.

Alice was Edward's "sister". The story that they stuck with and everyone believed was that Carlisle and Esme adopted all of them. I was the only one besides the wolves that knew different.

"Alice!" I said back. I didn't bother to go to give her a hug because I knew before I could take one step she'd be over to give me a hug.

She was really the only one that had accepted me when I first started dating Edward, other than Carlisle and Esme. She probably seen me coming and no one rarely bets against Alice.

Carlisle walked in the room, he was the oldest vampire. He was also a doctor, which was good in my case because I seemed to be a target for accidents and most of them involved me getting injured.

" Hello Carlisle"

"Good Morning Bella." Carlisle replied.

"Bella's here" I heard Emmett's voice coming into the room with Esme and Rosalie behind him ad Jasper not far behind.

Rose didn't really like me like the others do, but I went over to give her a hug anyway. She started not liking me because of this idea that I was going to be a danger to them and keeping what they were a secret. Then after she realized that there was no way I would ever breath a word about anything I wasn't supposed to, she found another reason. Her reason now was that I wanted to be a vampire but she thought I was crazy and that I was only looking to ruin everything I had. She told me once that she would do anything to be human again, I guess she just doesn't understand why I'd ever want to be a vampire.

After Rosalie let go of me stiffly, Emmett came over to give me a hug.

Emmett was another one of Edward's brothers. He was intimidating. With his bear like features. His bear hugs suited his appearance well, big and strong.

Then there was Jasper. I've always kept my distance from him. Mainly because he was the newest vegetarian and it was harder for him to resist any ones blood let alone mine. He was the mood changer , which meant if he were in politics it would be a lot less crooked.

Then there was Esme, she was Edward's mother as far as any one in Forks knew.

"Okay Bella lets get you some food and let the boys go hunting" Alice said.

" For once you don't have to argue with me to eat," I said "maybe it's Jasper messing with my moods again to make me feel like I'm hungry."

Everyone laughed, Jasper has done the whole mood switch thing before on me, maybe that's what's up with Rosalie. Well if she goes back to normal after the boys leave I'll have my answer.

"Well we'll find out when they leave" Alice said.

"Bye boys" Rosalie said while edging them towards the door.

"See ya" said Emmett. "Don't trip on anything Bella."

"Haha Emmett very funny."

Emmett gave Rosalie a kiss and then walked out the door.

Edward came over and kissed me, " I'll be back later, have fun with Alice" Edward said as he gave me a hug and headed for the door and joined Emmett and Jasper outside.

As soon Edward joined them outside, they all took off at light speed. Edward being the fastest of all of them.

"Bella" Alice said impatiently.

"I'm coming" I said as I rolled my eyes. "How do I know that after I eat your going to make a mannequin out of me."

" I'm not going to make a mannequin out of you, I'm just going to make you try on so may dresses that you'll never want to see another dress…..something like the eye shadow and foundation last week. Before I discovered that your skin is so pale that not even ivory works for you."

" Yeah maybe one of us should take you tanning sometime. It'll give you some color." Rose said.

I rolled my eyes. Of course leave it to them to think of everything. " It's the same thing Alice, but there's no point in arguing with you." I said.

We walked into the kitchen, where Esme was waiting to make what I wanted for lunch. "I'll have my usual, Esme. Garden salad."

"Okay then Bella."

After I ate, Alice made me play dress up until Edward got back and rescued me.

"See you tomorrow."

"Yeah I'll be here to drive you to school" Edward replied.

"….can we take my truck." I hesitated to ask.

"Yeah. why?" he asked.

"Because it can only go 50-60 mph…and I'm kind of scared of your driving. 80 mph is not something I'm used to."

He kissed the top of my head. " I'll be back after you go upstairs to your room." Edward said. " Stay out of trouble."

"I will. See you later." I said as I got out of the car. I started to walk to the door as I heard his car back out of the drive way.
