We walked for the longest time through the woods- I thought we'd gotten lost. Just as I was about to ask Edward if he knew where he was going, the most beautiful thing came into sight. I stood in front of the most wonderful house I had ever seen; it was huge and the brightest shade of white you could imagine. It was like something out of a fairy tale. I looked up at Edward, and he was staring down at me with a little grin.

"You like it?" did he not see me marvaling at its beauty?

"Like it? I love it."

Without another word, he took me to the front door and paused for a minute, looking at me. I wondered what he was staring at... He had this look in his eye.

The same look alexander always had when we were alone. NO! I wasn't supposed to think about him. Here it comes...

The tears started to fall...

"What's wrong?" Edward asked, sounding alarmed, wiping a tear from my cheek.

"Um... it's nothing," I said quickly. I REALLY didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Come on, you can tell me. You've already told me everything else," apparently he did...

"I was just thinking about him..." Edward's eyes flared. Hadn't I just told him about Alexander? Why did he care? He had just met me, and yet he seemed oddly territorial.

"Why do you even care?" I was starting to get a little frustrated.

"That's a very good question. I don't know," he looked away and suddenly noticed we were still standing outside the door. He opened it and even though I was still frustrated, with tears still running down my face, I couldn't help but see that the inside of his house was even better than the outside. The whole downstairs was open and bright and the back wall was a huge window.

"You know, you still haven't given me your thoughts on my boyfriend being a vampire. You have to keep the secret," that was really all that mattered right now, because I was stupid enough to tell him.

"Well, I have something to tell you," he paused, and I urged him to go on, "Well, my family and I are also vampires," he hung his head in shame, for some reason i didn't know.

"You look ashamed. Why is that?"

"We're monsters, Raven."
