CH 1
The day finally came when the Cullens had to leave forks. Edward promised that he would come visit her every week no mater where she was. Even if that meant he had to be there at night so that he would not be seen in the sun light. With that thought in mind Bella finally gave in to her moms begging for her to move in, but by then her mom had moved to a city in Texas just outside of Austin. Round rock, the home of the round rock dragons! At least living here life would be more interesting.
Bella had only been living there 3 weeks and was attending round rock high, when she heard gossip that vampires were real. Thinking that this was just a coincidence she ignored it and went on her way to choir in the back of the 900 building. When some girls in her choir were having a heated discussion over whether or not vampires are real and if they are then whether or not they would actually come out publicly.
One of the girls was about to ask her what she thought when her teacher, Mr. Johnson . He told all of them to sit in there seats and to settle down. "girls I know that it is fun to gossip but we need to listen to the announcements now so be quiet. No mater what is said if you talk I will write you up and you will have to come in for WOW(Work On Wednesdays) and sit in the corner doing nothing for 3 weeks. Do you under stand?" when no one answered he nodded. Not long after he finished the announcements came on.
"Attention students and teachers I have an important announcement to make! The rumors you have heard around school about vampires… well let me clarify. There are indeed vampires! Because the vampires are starting to come out where we can see them and telling the world they exist we will have a new class starting tomorrow. A large coven or as they like to be called "family" of "…um is this right? Oookkk… "vegetarian vampires" have offered to come and teach a class on vampire safety so that we can protect ourselves from "evil" vampires… um.. Also if Bella Swan could report to the 10th grade office a visitor is here to see you. Teachers if you could please hand out your schedules to your students that will be all."
All the girls in the room stared at her as she ran from the room. When she reached the 10th grade office in the 100 building she gasped. The office staff were staring at a short pale girl who was sitting in one of the chairs like she was about to eat them.
"Alice!" she yelled at the top of her lungs scaring the staff members. One of which yelled at her to run. Which she did but not out of the room but toward Alice. She was swept up in a tight cold embrace.
"Alice Cullen! What do you and your crazy, but lovable family think you are doing exposing who you really are?! When Aro finds out you will all be killed!" Alice looked at her and stated quite simply:
"we talked to him and he told us that we can because when anti-vegetarians attack it will give the humans a chance even if it is small to get away. He sees it as a sport I think." Bella stared at her.
"will every one be here?" she asked hopefully
"yes they will. Emmit is excited about what kind of fun he can have with the "humans" as he puts it" she rolled her eyes.
Some one cleared there throat cautiously. "um… b-b-Bella? Wha-what is g-g-going on?" she glanced at her friend Rachel who had office aid during that period. She glanced at Alice who nodded at her
"well Rach this is Alice my best friend" she stated simply.
"you are friends with murders? How could you stand knowing that they kill people?" Bella stood up strait as a post and stepped in front of Alice as if shielding her, which was useless.
"they are vegetarians!" she yelled at her so she would understand that they were not murders. Well unless you are from PETA.
"what do you mean they are "vegetarians?" I don't understand." Rachel looks at Bella, still trying to grasp this concept but it never clicked.
"what I mean is that they drink animal blood instead of human blood." Rachel was staring at her in amazement. "they do?"
" Yes they do."
With that said, Alice's phone went off. She quickly pressed the speaker button and then Edwards voice filtered through the air.
"Alice now that you have seen Bella again you need to come home she does have school and you know that this will bring plenty of attention to her as is" he chuckled "and we all know how much she hates attention!" Rachel burst in to laughter.
"OMG that is an understatement if I have ever heard one!" Edward went silent "Alice" he said slowly and cautiously "am I on speaker?"
"yes because Bella missed hearing your voice! I am on my way home do not worry by!" with that she ended the call.
Alice hugged Bella and sped out the door. She turned back to Rachel "can you write me a pass back to class?"
"sure you were in choir right?"
" yes"
"ok here you go" Bella left the office with the feeling of five pairs of eyes on her back as she walked away from the office.
When she reached class she was greeted with a suddenly quiet choir. Which is un heard of because choir girls usually never stop talking. That is unless they are singing. This is a mixed choir though but the five boys in the class along with the four girls were not there today. Either they were skipping, had a game or tournament today, like football, lacrosse, and dance, or they were sick. Slowly the talking started back up, but this time it was question after question "Who are they?" "How do you know them?" "Did they try to eat you?" "Are they evil?" so on and so forth. It was when the teacher called out over the class to be quite that they stopped asking questions.
"Bella you may be seated. Now that you have arrived, we may start. Please be seated." with that said, all the girls went and took there seats on the risers.
After class Bella was heading out to her truck when a shiny sliver Volvo pulled up and before she could respond cold arms had wrapped themselves around her and pulled her in to a tight hug. She turned around in the marble arms and pressed her face into his chest. Edward leaned down and kissed the top of her head. All too soon for her liking Edward pulled away and smiled a greeting over her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw Rachel standing there staring in shock.
"un.. Hi Bella I was coming to see if you could give me a ride but I see that you are busy so I will just call my mom to come pick me up."
Edward smiled at her and stated calmly "you must be Rachel. I am Edward, Bella's boyfriend." her eyes widened
"what?! Bella told everyone that she did not have a boyfriend and that she did not want one." Edward chuckled.
"I know, you see she did not think I could move down here because it is too sunny so we agreed that she would tell every one she was not interested. Because if she said that she had one, and they never saw him then they would not see him as a threat. So that was our agreement." she nodded
"that makes sense… wait aren't you the vampire that was on the phone?" she was on the verge of both being more comfortable and uncomfortable.
"yes I was. If you need a ride home Bella and I can give you a ride." she gave him a skeptical look.
" how could both of you when you both have your own cars?" he chuckled
"well, Bella is riding with me. And my brothers a going to come pick up and drop off her car at her house later." she glanced around and saw that a lot of people were staring.
"um… ok but I want to go straight home. Ok no extra stops." Edward chuckled
"I am not going to eat you. If I can stop my self from drinking from Bells then I can stop myself from drinking from you. Truth be told you are not the most appetizing scent I have ever smelt in my life." Bella giggled uneasily.
"Edward let's not scare my only friend away please."
" ok Bells." with that said he took both of their bags and opened both there doors so that they could get in.
Edward quickly got in after putting there bags in the car. Bella buckled up remembering how fast he drives. Which she did just in time because he hit the gas hard.
"Edward!" she screeched. As she grabbed what her friend Dawn had lovingly named the "oh shit!" bar that was above her head. He burst in to laughter.
"Bella it has been to long if you have already forgotten how I drive!" he reached over and grabbed her hand so as to help calm her down. He rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand so as to calm her. Once she was calm he turned on his recording of Bella's lullaby. He heard a soft gasp come from the back seat.
"what is this song called? Bella is always humming it! And she will never tell me what it is." she seemed to be getting more comfortable around them but he was not going to push his luck. He glanced at Bella.
"Sweetie is it ok for me to tell her?" he asked Bella so that he would make sure that it is ok.
"that is ok now because she has met you and now will be finding out about our family." she smiled at him as he whipped around the corner.
" this is the song I wrote for Bella. It is called 'Bella's lullaby'" he glanced in to his rearview mirror so that he could see her reaction. Her eyes widened in amazement, causing Edward to smile.
"you wrote that for Bella? That is amazing! Bella you are lucky! For him to care so much as to write a lullaby!" she was so busy talking that she did not notice that he had pulled in to her driveway.
"Rachel we are here." Bella said at the same time as Edward opened her door and handed her her bag.
"Oh… um thank you for driving me Edward. Bye Bella see you tomorrow." with that she got out and went into their house. Once safely inside Edward drove off towards Bella's house. When they arrived her mom opened the door and raced to the car.
"Bella why is Edward bringing you home! don't you know what he is!" she screeched at her as Edward helped her out of the car, when she reached for her bag Edward slung it over his shoulder to tell her that he would take it.
"mom I know what Edward is. He is a vampire, my teacher, my tutor, my mentor, my best friend, by boyfriend, and my soul mate. We are meant for each other and there is nothing you can do about it. If you try to keep us apart we will find a way to see each other." she stated so as to make sure her mom knew that she had no say in this.
"Bella I am your mother! And I am telling you cannot see him anymore! Do you want to be killed?!" she yelled. She reached for her arm to pull her in the house when Edward beat her to it. He picked her up and set her down behind him.
"Ms. Swan! I would never hurt Bella! She is my world! If I killed her then I would kill myself. Besides, we are soul mates. I have been waiting for her for 108 years, and I am not going to loose her now that I have found her." he held up his hand to silence her " I understand your reluctance, I myself was reluctant when I realized what was going on. I feared that I would kill her on accident. I have had hundreds of opportunities to kill or hurt her. But every time I stop myself. I love your daughter in a way many will never get a chance to know." he held his ground planning on doing so until she backed down. Bella noticed this and knew it would not happen so she did the one thing that she knew would make her mom agree that they can stay together. She tried to step out from behind Edward but he held her back to stop her.
"Edward! Stop it! You are acting the way you did when we met James in the base ball field! My mom is not going to lunge at me determined to suck me dry!" she was frustrated at him but could not help but giggle at the thought of Renee doing just that.
"What are you talking about?" Renee said with a worried tone. Edward relaxed enough for Bella to get around him and stand at his side.
"mom remember when I ran away from Forks and ended up in the hospital?" she asked trying to make her understand, and not scare her too badly at the thought.
"yyyeeess…" she said skeptically waiting for an explanation. Bella took a deep breath while leaning in to Edwards embrace for both physical and emotional support.
"the real reason I ran was because when I was with the Cullens playing baseball three nomadic vampires showed up wanting to play also but when one of them named James smelled me he tried to attack me because he was thirsty. Edward and the rest of the Cullens stopped him and let them go. But Edward's response made James want to kill me for the fun of it. So I left with Alice and Jasper to get away from him. But he found out where you lived and called me to tell me that I had to go to my old ballet studio in order to save you. So I did, but he did not have you there just one of our old home tapes with you calling out for me 'Bella, Bella, Bella where are you?!.' I then knew it was a trap. But I could not get away. He through me at the mirrors which is why I had glass in me. And then Edward caught up. When he arrived James bit me…" she held out her hand and showed her mom the scar. Edward wrapped his arms around her tighter. "if you touch it you will see that it is much colder then the rest of my body. But instead of having time to drink me dry Edward pushed him off of me. Soon later the rest of the family showed up and killed him off while I was slowly changing in to a vampire. But Edward was able to suck all of the venom out of my system in time. Hence the almost bleeding to death part. If it were not for Edward, James would have killed me and then if he had gotten there to save me and did not drink my blood I would be a vampire right now." she finished with a shaky breath "and the rest you already know. I came back, was put in the hospital and then recovered." she buried her face in Edwards shirt and cried. He carefully picked her up and held her close to him softly humming her lullaby.
"Ms. Swan we should go inside. The neighbors are starting to stare. Plus if you don't sit down soon you might collapse. I may be strong enough to carry both of you, but the neighbors will then have more to talk about." he stated reasonably. She nodded and led the way. Once inside Edward set Bella's bag down in the entry way and went into the living room. He then sat down with Bella in his lap still hanging on with all her might and crying her eyes out. He softly hummed her lullaby until she stopped crying and had calmed down all the way. He then glanced up and saw her mom staring at them in shock.
"You really love my daughter don't you? I can just see it in the way you hold her, look at her, protect her, and hum to her. I have never seen someone with such devotion written all over their face as I see with you and my daughter." he smiled at her then looked down at the now sleeping Bella.
"Where do you keep your aspirin? When she wakes up she will have a killer headache after all of that crying." her mom stared at him in astonishment. He thought of everything. She would have not remembered how bad Bella's headaches are after she cries until she woke up moaning in pain and asking her to turn off the light and to stop yelling.
"I will get it since your hands are full. But for future reference all medicines are in the bathroom cabinets, the linen closet, and in the cabinet where the cups are." she stood up, went in to the kitchen, and came back with a glass of juice and two pills. "Here you go." she handed him the pills and juice. About 10 minutes later in a surprisingly comfortable silence Bella began to stir. Edward ran his fingers through her hair slowly as she woke up.
"Edward turn off the lights! It hurts!" she moaned. Edward chuckled and Renee got up to turn off the lights.
"Bells I have some aspirin here for you." she nodded and allowed him to help her in to a sitting position so she could take the pills. Once sitting, Edward handed her the pills and the juice. "Here you go love." he whispered softly remembering how bad her headaches can be.
"Thank you Edward. You always know what I need." she kissed his cheek and pulled away when she heard her mom clear her throat. She blushed realizing that they were not alone. "Oh! I should go and start making dinner." she tried to get up, but Edward would not let go.
"No you do not. I will make it." with that he set her on the couch and went in to the kitchen. She always had a list of dinners in a binder on the counter along with the day and recipe. He found the day and saw it was lasagna. He started to pull out the supplies when he heard Bella say softly so she would not make her headache worse.
"Edward, I can do it. Besides since you don't eat you will not know when it is fully cooked." he heard her try to get up, but he was already there holding her down.
"No you do not. I said I will do it. Besides Esme has been giving me cooking lessons, and now is the perfect time to see if they were any good." she knew he would not let her cook so she sat back and nodded.
"I can do it. It can't be that hard." Renee said as she stood up. Bella sat bolt up-right.
"No! You remember what happened last time!" she yelled then instantly regretted it as her headache returned tenfold. She put her hands to her head and moaned. Edward saw this and placed his hands on her temples slowly massaging them with his ice cold finger tips.
"Edward I don't think I will ever need aspirin again. That is better then ever." she giggled at this new finding. He smiled at her and nodded his understanding. Her mom burst in to laughter.
"That was hilarious. You went from being half dead to yelling to moaning in pain to smiling and laughing in like less then one minute. I think my life just got much more interesting". Edward laughed at this.
"She does have interesting mood swings. My family loves to have her around just to watch her moods change. Well I am going to start dinner." He smiled and left to cook. Bella turned to her mom and started telling her everything that she could not have told her earlier because she had not known about vampires. What seemed to Bella as about two minutes was actually about forty five minutes. Because Edward came in to the living room with two plates of lasagna.
"your dinner is served!" Edward stated in a Italian accent while handing each of them their plates with a flourish. Bella giggled at her boyfriends antics and took a hesitant bite.
"oh my god! Edward! This is excellent! I could have not made anything this good!" Bella exclaimed while shoving another bite into her mouth. He smiled and sat next to her wrapping his arms protectively around her shoulders watching her delight in the symphony of flavors exploding in her mouth. Once she finished Edward took their empty plates to the kitchen and washed them in record braking time (all pans, plates, cups, and silver where in one second.) then returned back to the living room. Just as he sat back down his phone went off.
"Hey Alice what do you want, you know that I am at Bella's house right now." He listened for a minute then said quickly "will do" before hanging up. "That was Alice, my sister. She would like to ask if either Bella could come and spend the night over there or she come spend the night here. She would like to meet you considering she spends almost as much time with Bella as I do." Renee looked shocked.
"Umm.. Well I would say yes but *sigh* no. I want Bella here for tonight. And I am not sure that I can handle meeting another member of your family so soon." Edward nodded.
"Understandable." Bella glanced at Edward and whispered so only he could hear.
"Didn't she already know her response? If so why ask?" Edward shrugged.
"She may have, but who knows. This is Alice we are talking about here" he whispered back to her.
"Um excuse me, but is there something you have to say?" Renee stated with frustration in her voice.
"Well, we were discussing some of my families abilities. And as I have already said I would like them to tell you about them, not me." with that he got up. "Bella I am going to go home. My family is expecting a de brief of what has happened. So see you tomorrow." he stated and turned to Renee. "Thank you Ms. Swan for allowing me to still date your daughter without us having to lose your trust." he then turned and left. Bella looked at her mom.
"I am tired I think I will head to bed." her mom nodded.
"I think I will too. I have gone through information overload and I have a feeling that I will be going through it again in not too long." they both stood up and headed to their rooms to prepare for bed.
Bella opened her window hoping Edward would come by then climbed in to bed. Just as she was drifting off to sleep she felt a shift in the bed and cold arms wrap around her. She snuggled in to the hard chest and drifted off to sleep hearing her lullaby.
CH 2
Bella woke up the next morning to Edward softly rubbing her back while whispering into her ear. "Wake up love. Your mom is on her way to wake you up." she shivered at the feeling.
"I am up." he kissed her forehead and was gone. Her mom opened her door to see her starting to sit up.
"Good morning honey! You sleep ok?" she asked
"Yes. I slept like a baby." she smiled at that.
"Good. Now get dressed and hurry down because Edward called and he wants to drive you to school." with that she left Bella sitting on her bed with a goofy grin plastered across her face. She got up and went to the bathroom, when she was done in there she headed to her bedroom to find an outfit she had never seen before laying on her bed with a note that read
Bella
I want you to wear this today.
Alice
She groaned. The outfit consisted of a light navy blue top that hugged her in all the right places but not too much, and dark blue jeans that hugged her just slightly. Then the shoes were tan moccasins. When she was dressed she went downstairs. After she emptied her backpack of her A-Day supplies she found in the bottom of her back pack a dark blue scoop top purse from Fossil. She groaned again. When she opened it she found another note.
Bella
I knew I needed you to cool down before I gave you your new purse and accessories so here they are.
Alice
She found inside a blue wallet that matched her purse. A necklace with the Cullen family crest, and a pair of opal earrings with blue fire in it. They were gorgeous and she hated Alice for it, but she knew that she had to wear them because Alice would kill her if she did not. She carefully slid the necklace over her head and put in her earrings. After putting her B-Day supplies in her backpack she risked a look in to the wallet. She groaned at what she saw. Alice had gotten her license and school bag and put them in but that was not all. There were debit cards with another note on it.
Bella
I want you to know that these debit cards are linked directly to my account the number is your birth day
Love
Edward
She was going to kill Edward for this. He knew what Alice had done and he seemed to have encouraged her! She did not have time to think this all through because the door bell rang. She picked up her things and ran to open the door. There Edward stood holding a cup with a sealed top full of OJ and a breakfast taco. She smiled.
"So Alice knew I would not have eaten by now did she?" Bella smiled even more. He handed her the taco and in turn took her purse.
"Yes she also knows to avoid you for a while. I on the other hand do not have the luxury of avoiding you since I can't seem to stay away. I guess I will have to deal with your wrath. Of course it is easier to do that while you are wearing our family crest." with that he kissed her forehead and helped her to the car.
"You know that I do not like gifts! Especially if they are expensive! And Fossil is expensive!" she screeched as he sped down the road.
"But that was all Alice. All I did was and the debit card idea and the family crest idea. Alice wanted it to be a necklace. Bella we are a couple. We are planning to get married eventually so you should get used to the way we live, and that includes accepting that you have a debit card that draws money directly from my account." he leaned over at vampire speed and gave her a kiss on the cheek "besides now I can say that you are mine all the way! Since we now share money as well as the family crest!" she giggled at that idea.
When they reached school she and Edward headed to the library, they were early because Bella wanted him to meet the group she hangs out with. They were not all friends but acquaintances, but if Edward was going to be with her all the time he might as well join the group. As Bella walked in to the 700 building she ran into Grace, one of her other acquaintances.
"Hey Bella! How have you been? I heard you were called to the office to meet someone! Who was it?" just then she noticed Edward her eyes widened and she backed up. "Oh… um… Bella do you know what he is?" Grace glanced at the wall where she saw a poster with all of the Cullen's pictures on it. Bella laughed.
"Yes I do! This is Edward my boyfriend! We have been going out for a year." she watched her face.
"Oh well um did you know what he was when you started dating?" she asked while glancing towards Edward. Bella growled.
"Listen, I know you are not comfortable with this, but you need to learn he has a name it is Edward and he is not an 'it' he is a vampire. And yes I did but he would never hurt me. We are soul mates. We cannot spend much more than a week apart without going into a depressed state." Grace backed away.
"I am sorry… um I will be going now." she turned and ran out the door heading towards the 100 building.
"Bella was that necessary? That poor girl is going to avoid both of us from now on." he sighed.
"I am sorry. She needs to learn that whether she likes vampires or not she needs to become acquainted with the term vampire and use that instead of 'it'." Edward knew he could not make her change her mind because he agreed with her so they kept on walking down the hall.
About two seconds later they reached the library and they went in.
"Bella dear! Is that you? I could use your help re-shelving books if you don't… oh! Hi Mr. Cullen. I am the librarian at RRHS. If you could please sign in that would be great." she smiled at him as if she was a proud mother. But that was before a warning look crossed her face. " And Edward I need you to understand that even if you can kill me with no effort at all you must understand that all the rules apply to you also." with that said she turned back to Bella who, along with Edward had a shocked expression on her faces. "Bella dear wipe that expression off your face. You know that I don't judge people before I get to know them! Now come sign in then come back here and help me re-shelve these books." with that she turned around and went back to check in the books that were piled next to her.
"Um… Yes, of course." she turned to Edward only to find he was not there when she glanced around she saw that he was already going around the library memorizing the lay out. After she signed in Edward was back at her side helping her gather books to re-shelve. With Edward helping and his speed they finished re-shelving three carts of books in three minutes. Once done they were about to head to her usual table in the back of the library the librarian called out to them.
"Oh if you are done would you mind if I asked you guys some questions. Because I am wondering how you two already seem so comfortable around one another." she smiled at them while saying this.
"That is no problem ma'am. By the way feel free to call me 'Edward'. I'm not the Mr. Cullen in my family, my dad is." Bella smiled up at him. Then looked back towards the librarian.
"What do you want to ask us? We are happy to answer all your questions… well maybe not all, but most." she glanced back up at Edward who had taken her hand and was now leading her to a soft chair at the end of a book shelf. He sat down and pulled her into his lap. Edward chuckled.
"Yes we are dating. And we have been dating for over a year. Yes she has known that I am a vampire the whole time, and she is the reason that I moved here." Bella groaned and the librarian stared in shock.
"How did you know what I was going to ask?"
"Oh you did not ask yet? I am sorry. I knew because I can read peoples thoughts. Oh no I can't read Bella's thoughts. We don't know why." he stopped "um you did not ask that yet did you?"
"No. but that makes this more interesting. Um well those were all my questions." with that they stood up and went to the back of the room. Not long after they sat down Alice called.
"Edward if you do not want to cause a big scene you and Bella should leave the library right away." Bella looked at Edward and saw that he knew what Alice was talking about.
"We are leaving right now. Thank you Alice" his voice was hard as he spoke. When he hung up he gathered her things together. "Let's go. You could show me around." he smiled at her. With that they left the library.
"Edward what was that about?" she knew that he would not tell her but this way he knew that she wanted to know and she was worried.
"Bella don't worry. We already took care of the problem. Now why don't you show me around? Maybe introduce me to your teachers so that they know to expect me." he smiled her favorite crooked smile and led her down the hall. Once outside the 700 building she led him to the 100 building. Starting there she led him to room 118 to her 1st period LA class.
"Hi Mrs. Garcia! I am here to introduce you to Edward Cullen!"
"Oh! Dear um… I am sorry that you got that job." she gave Bella a pitying look and glanced up at Edward. "Nice to meet you but I would appreciate it if you did not scare sweet Bella here. She is a good girl and very smart. I am sure you are smart enough to be able to go around and introduce yourself to the teachers."
"Oh no! Mrs. Garcia! It is not like that! Edward…" Edward tightened his grip around her waist so as to give her comfort and to draw the teacher's attention to that fact.
"Love, let me explain to her ok?" he looked the teacher strait in the eye. "Bella was not given this job, as you can see we are in love… but what we are actually soul mates. She is introducing me to her teachers so that they will expect me to be in class with her every day. It is hard on both of us to be separated for long. It was extremely hard on us to be separated for all the time she has been here so far. And neither of us can stand being apart now that I can go into public when it is sunny so here I am." when he finished his rant he looked down at Bella, who had buried her face in his chest out of embarrassment of what he had just told her teacher.
"Bella is this true?" Mrs. Garcia asked with worry in her voice.
"Yes. We are." Bella's voice was muffled because of Edward's shirt, but she was still able to understand.
"Oh, well I am sorry for insulting you I just did not think that could happen. But now I see it can. I guess I will see you in class tomorrow." Bella nodded and carefully steered Bella out of class. Once outside she lifted her head from his shirt and led him to the rest of her classes. Each one was slightly different but had similar outcomes. By the time she finished it was time to go to her 5th period class. This time Edward led her to her class now that he knew how to get there and went in. Edward took her to her seat in the middle of the class. They had tables instead of desks in her health class and there was an empty seat next to her so he took it. Not long after the room was full and class was starting.
"Ok class, sit down and be quit! We have book work today. Turn you books to chapter 3 and do all the vocabulary and answer all the questions at the end of the chapter. If I hear any talking then you will all get 5 points taken off." he was heading to his desk when he realized no one was moving.
"Why is no one working?" he asked in a harsh voice.
"Um because…" the boy pointed to Edward.
"Kids, ignore him. You have work to do and we only have a limited amount of time to get our work done. Now get started!" after that every one rushed to get there work done. For the rest of the day kids would ask teachers what was Edward doing there and they would tell them to get to work. When it was time for vamp info Edward picked up Bella and ran to the 500 gym. He set her down.
"Ok I am going to greet the class at the door while you wait on the mat." she took her shoes off and went to sit on the mat. She barely had time to get nervous about this class before people started filing in. after about fifteen minutes Edward shut the door and took role, then told the class what to expect. Bella watched kids scoot both closer and farther from Edward. As he transformed in front of her eyes from loving, caring Edward, to teacher.
"Ok class, I am Edward and I am your teacher for the rest of the year. Today my family will be coming up and telling you about themselves. I will go first. While I am talking my family will come in and take their turns. Ok. I am Edward Cullen I have been a vampire for 109 years. My father dr. Carlisle Cullen changed me when I was dying with the Spanish influenza. I have fought with my desire to hunt humans but with the help of my loving family I have been able to stop myself from that urge. Next my father will speak to you." he stepped away and Carlisle stepped up. It was then that Bella felt a cold hand tugging at her arm. She looked over to see Alice.
"Bella come." she got up and followed her to the back of the room. "Bella as part of our family you need to speak also."
"What? Why? I am not a vampire! Why do I need to talk?"
"Because they need to see how humans can act around vampires, and need to hear how you can be friends, but it will come at a price. You can tell them that!"
But I do not know what to say!"
"That is ok we can help you."
"Fine I will, but only if you promise not to play 'Bella Barbie' for three months!"
"What!?!?!? No!!!!!"
"Fine then I will not talk!"
"Ok, but only because this is important to what we need to teach. Oh and you have to do this at every class!"
"Fine but you can't 'Bella Barbie' for three months, plan surprise parties for two months, give me gifs for four months, and you cannot take me shopping for three months!"
"Fine but you will regret this for a long time!!!!!!"
"I will deal with that!"
"Next is Alice!" Bella heard Edward exclaim.
"Him in the front of the class".
"Your turn Bells. I am right here." he whispered only to her. She looked across the class and swallowed hard clinging to him.
"Hi everyone I am Bella. I am not a vampire as you probably know. I am friends with the Cullen's and have been for a little over a year. Edward and I are soul mates like Alice and Jasper are. There are consequences of being friends with vampires like on our first official date…." she went on telling the class the story. Only occasionally needing help to continue on. And feeling Edward tense at certain parts or flinch. Once finished Edward made an announcement.
"Tomorrow I will not be here, nether will Bella. We won't be here for class for six days so I will be putting Sara in charge for those days. I will know whether you obey her or not. And will punish you for that. You are dismissed and Alice! I have been a vampire for…" Bella zoned out until she felt Edward lead her to." everyone got up and left. Once gone Alice started talking.
"Bella we are going to your house so that I can meet your mom! Let's go!" she grabbed her hand and led her out the door. It took Bella a minute to regain her voice.
"Alice! But I want to spend time with Edward also!"
"I know that is why he is coming with us… well technically we are going with him. But you get my point. Let's go!" she then jumped in to the back seat of Edward's car while Bella slid in to the front passenger seat after Edward opened the door for her. He then shut it behind her and before she could get buckled up they were speeding down the road. She gripped Edwards hand tightly until they got to her house. She walked up the walk way to the front door, and went in.
"Mom I am home! Edward is with me along with Alice, his sister. She wanted to meet you!"
"Ok! I am in the living room! I need some help." Edward chuckled and followed her in to the living room. Alice went ahead to help her mom. Edward and Bella walked in to see Alice helping her mom out of a pretzel move. She had been getting in to yoga. Bella could not help but laugh.
"Mom, how long have you been stuck?!"
"For five minutes."
"Dear God mom! If we had not arrived soon who knows what state you would be in!" Alice giggled
"she would have been fine that is why I was in a rush to get here. If you had not stoped me we would have been here 3 min ago." she turned back to renay. "I am alice. I have the ability to see into the furure and we are going to be great friends. Which is good because my brouther is going to mary your dauter!" she turned to Edward.
"yes you should go start dinner. And we will talk to the famly about that idea. And no I will not tell you bella what that is it is a supries and it will be done in 5 months so I am not breaking any promises."
"ALICE! Stop you are scairing my mom! Lets go in to the living room to talk."
"oh Edward I moved bellas cook book to the cabnet over the stove"
"thank you ms. Swan." he then lefed for the kition. The 3 girls went in to the living room and sat down to talk. Alice had just finished telling reny everything when Edward brought in there dinner. Tonight it consisted of a home made chicken soup French breed and a salid.
"Edward this is the best ever! Thank you." he smiled at the compliment given to him by his future mouther in law.
"thank you. Alice don't you have a question to ask?" she knodded.
"I was wondering if bella could spend the night over at our house. Esmy misses he so much so does emit and the rest of the family. It would be a great time to chach up."
"that is fine as long as you rember that bells is still humen and needs her sleep. Then it is fine."
