Chapter Two

Bella New Knowledge

EPOV

We pulled up into the driveway, and I could hear our 'parents' talking about redecorating the bedrooms. We just redecorated about two months ago when we decided to move back. But Esme never likes the same decorations for very long. I guess that is the curse of being an interior decorator for so long. Between her and Carlisle we've never had to work for anything, not having to buy food and things like that help a lot also. Alice likes to shop that is where I think most of our money goes. Not that it really matters; we have enough money to buy a whole country probably even two. 'Welcome home' I hear Esme say when I park the car in the garage. 'We are in the living room' I go around the car to the passenger side and open the back door for Alice, who hands me Bella. I can't believe that she is still asleep.

"Carlisle, can you take a look at Bella, she seems to have passed out but we think that there might be more than that. Seems she been beat up a couple of times." I ask him as I lay her on the couch.

"Sure, son, Alice." Carlisle starts turning around and seeing her with his medical bag in her hands already, "Thank you. Now why don't you three go hunting or something so that I can draw some blood." He said taking out the things that he was going to need.

I could hear my wife moving around in her study across the hall from mine. "Carlisle" she calls softly knowing I'm not very far away. I never like to be very far away from her, but I also liked my job at the hospital. So whenever I'm not working I try and stay close. "Come here, Love." I chuckle quietly to myself, and get up to go see what she wants. I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist.

"Yes, my love, what can I do to help you?" I say pulling her against me.

She leans back into me putting her hands on top of mine. "What do you think about redecorating our bedroom, and maybe the kids also?" Whenever she asks me something like that I know that she has already decided that she wants to do it so I tell her what I always tell her. "If that is what you want to do I will take this weekend off and we can do it then you and Alice can go shopping when she gets home from school sometime this week." As I was saying this I could hear Edwards car coming up the drive.

"Ok, but right now I think we should go downstairs and see our kids." She says pulling away and heading down the stairs. I try not to groan but I know that it didn't work when I hear her sweet giggle from do the hall. And at the sound I take off after her to great Edward and Alice.

As soon as I walk into the living room Edward asks me to look at this girl that they brought home. I could hear Esme sucking in a breath when Edward mentions that she was beat up. I don't see how people could do something like that, especially to this child she looks so sweet. "Sure, son. Alice." I start to say as I turn to look at her she already has my bag, I smile at her and thank her. After they left I started looking over the young girl, I can tell that she's only 17 and has multiple broken bones, most that have already healed but there are a couple ribs that are not healing correctly.

I lift her up off the couch and take her up the stairs to my office. I knew having an x-ray machine here was a good idea. I x-rayed every bone in her body and I was correct about the ribs their not healing correctly, it seems like they were never set properly. Other than that everything seems fine with her, she probably needs to rest.

I lift her off the desk and take her up the stairs, "Here, you can put her in my put her in my room." Edward says from behind me. At least there is a bed in there now. I walk up the last flight of stairs to the third floor and then walk all the way down the hall with Edward following me. He opens up his door and walks in ahead of me to move the blankets out of the way. I gently lay her down and cover her up. As soon as she was covered she rolled over on to her side and snuggled into the pillow. I laughed, turned to walk out of the room, but stopped when I saw Edwards face. 'She's going to be fine, Son' I told him 'Let's go downstairs and then we can all talk, your mother and sister are back also.' He nods and follows me downstairs.

As we walked downstairs I could see Alice and Esme talking in the corner, "She's not going to be asleep much longer, I can't tell what is going to wake her up but we've only got about 5 minutes." Alice says looking at Edward. "She's gonna want to go home as soon a as she wakes up. I can see that she doesn't think that she can trust us. We need to tell her who we are, I think that telling her that will help."

"Are you crazy Alice? How would that help anything? She would probably take off running and then try to have us committed." Edward yelled back at her.

"I don't mean just go up there and say, hey Bella, we are vampires I hope you don't mind. I mean sitting her down and making her listen to us." Alice rolls her eyes.

"I don't know Alice, that seems a bit dangerous. What if she does react badly to what we are, are we prepared for that? That means that we have to move again. And I actually like it here." I say to her, not that it did any good she just got this smile on her face. I knew what that meant, she's already seen the outcome of telling her, and apparently she likes it. I look over at Edward in time to see him shake his head, 'What is it that she's not telling us?' I ask him. He looks over at me and smiles, "She wont care" was all he said before making his way upstairs.

Well that will make telling her that much easier. I look over at Esme, "what do you think Dear?"

She looks up at me and smiles, "I think that it will be lovely to have another girl here to hang out with, even if she is human. I'm sure me and Alice can take her shopping and do some other things with her to make her feel like she can trust us."

I laugh leave it to my wife to see a shopping trip out of something like this. "Alright, Alice, who is going to tell her?" I say as I turn towards her.

"Edwards getting ready to bring her down here so that we can tell her together." She replies as she turns towards the stairs just as Edward was coming into view. Her smile gets even bigger "Hey, Bella!"

BellaPOV

I don't really remember what happened, I remember being at the school and talking with Alice and then Jess showing up, then Edward showed up again and they started asking me questions about Jess beating me up, and then I think that I passed out. I sit up and look around, and I notice that I wasn't in my room. I start freaking out, what is going on, where am I? I don't know how I got here or where hear even is. I hear the door open and look to my right and see Jess entering the room. What the fuck am I doing at her place? I try backing away but I am already at the top of the bed and can't go any farther. Fuck. What am I supposed to do she's coming forward with a wicked smile on her face. This can't be happening.

"Bella!" I can hear someone calling me, but I can't seem to find them. My eyes wont open, and I just keep screaming at them to help me, to make her stop. It doesn't seem to work she just keeps coming towards me. 'why can't I wake up' I want to wake up and get away from her.

"Bella, its Edward you need to wake up please, open your eyes please." I could feel him shaking me but I still couldn't wake up.

Jess was now next to the bed, "Bella, you don't think that Alice, and Edward really want to be your friend do you? She was just being nice. As soon as school starts tomorrow she will forget about you and Edward, well he goes to the college doesn't he, so he would never be interested in someone like you. I'm thinking about going to their house tonight after school today and asking if they want to hang out. Why do you even try to make friends? I always take them away from you. Remember Jake? The guy from La Push? Yeah I took him from you first didn't I. He was pretty easily swayed to wasn't he once he had the option of the two of us. I mean who would pick you over me." She started laughing.

I screamed again and sat up in bed. I looked around again and I saw Edward sitting on the edge of the bed looking at me. "Bella, its ok, you are safe here, calm down, please."

I backed as far away as I could on the bed. "What do you want with me?" I asked him.

"I just want to talk to you Bella. There is no reason for you to be scared." He said reaching out to me. Just when I think that he is going to grab me he drops his hand. "Would you like to go downstairs with me and get something to eat?"

I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded my head and scooted off the bed. "Where is Alice?" I asked and then realized what I did I clamped my hand over my mouth and hurried to him, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that, please don't hurt me." I said starting to back away from him afraid that I said something that I would get in trouble for.

"Bella, it's ok. Alice is downstairs with the rest of our family. I will take you to her if you want." He said as he put a hand on the small of her back and lead her down the stairs.

"Would you like something to eat Bella?" He asked as he sat her down on the couch in between Alice and Rosalie. "Yes, please. Thank you. If you want to show me where the kitchen is I can make something for everyone. I don't want to be a burden on anyone." Everyone laughed. "I will be right back with something for you to eat Bella. Just sit back and talk with Alice and Rosalie. Enjoy yourself." He said to me as he turned and walked through the swinging door, which I am assuming goes to the kitchen.

AlicePOV

"So, Bella. What do you want to do?" I asked her hoping that she would tell us about herself. "We can paint our nails, do your hair, watch movies, or a combination of everything."

"I don't know, I've never done something like this before. The only person at school who talks to me is Angela and I don't hang out with her outside of classes. I feel bad for her, because Jessica makes fun of her for talking to me. I don't know why I am telling you this, you'll probably just use it against me when school starts tomorrow and you start hanging out with them." Bella said keeping her head down.

I look over at Rose, yep she's pissed. HAHA. Man I am so glad that Rose is going to school with me this year. I can't wait to see the look at that JESSICA'S face when we walk in beside her. 'Edward what are we going to tell her? I know that she won't freak out, but I don't know how to say it to her. I mean we cant just come out and say that we are vampires.'

"I have an idea, wait until I am back in there with you and then we will just ask her if she believes in vampires, and then we will go from there." He whispered back. "I'm on my way back now." And he steps back through the swing door with a tray of food.

"I wasn't sure what you liked Bella, so I kind of made a little of everything. Hope you like it." He smiled at her and went and sat in the chair facing the T.V. I seems like he wants her to eat a little first before we ask her a bunch of questions. I see his slight nod to confirm what I was just thinking.

Twenty minutes later Bella was done with all of the food that Edward brought out to her. Plus two bottles of water.

"Hey, Bella. What do you think about vampires?" I asked her suddenly. Everyone in the room turned to look at me like I was crazy. "Just curious."

"Um. Well I like them actually I have meet a few vampires of course. I mean we do live by the House of Night. If is full of vampires. I mean it is in Seattle, but my friend Zoey lives at that House of Night. Mrs. Redbird, you know the school principal, is Zoeys' grandma. Her parents live in Seattle. But Mrs. Redbird has always lived here. She is the best principal we have had."

We all looked at her shocked. Not only was that the longest statement that she has ever made to us, but she also already new about vampires. Granted they are different vampires than us, but vampires none the less.

"Bella," Edward started, "What would you say to having vampires sitting right next to you?"

"They are still people Edward and if you guys turned out to be vampires then I would still want to be friends with you. Are you a vampire?" We all looked at each other again. Carlisle and Esme walked over to where we were sitting. Esme sat down in front of Bella and grabbed her hands.

"Yes, Bella, we are vampires. Although we are much different than the House of Night vampires. We do not hunt humans only animals. And even the animals we tend to make sure they are in abundance. We have met some of the House of Night vampires and they are very civilized for it being such a big group. But since we do not drink human blood we do not have to go the special school. That is why Alice and Rose are going to your school. And not the House of Night. Do you understand?" Esme explained to her. She nodded her head and looked up at me and Rose.

"Are you guys going to stay my friends?" She asked.
