Thanks for commenting... I appreciate the ideas that you sent me and I'm going to use some, but I would still like to hear what you guys want to happen.
I know that this chapter is pretty short too, but I'm getting to the big stuff...
Enjoy!!!!!
Oh yay... I don't own twilight.
The entire school was called into the auditorium right after homeroom. Edward and the rest of the Cullens met me by the door. They all looked nervous, I'm sure I did too.
Edward walked up to me and engulfed me in a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around him, people passing us gave us strange looks but we ignored them.
"Everything is going to be okay." It felt strange trying to comfort Edward. He had always been the one to comfort me. Edward never lost his cool and always stayed calm.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear.
"I love you too."
We let go of each other, but Edward left one arm wrapped around my waist.
We all sat in the back, not wanting any attention drawn to us. Like that would actually work. I was practically sitting on Edward's lap. Emmett sat next to me too. He looked tense, I put my hand on his and smiled warmly up at him. He seemed better after that; smiling back at me. The smile seemed genuine but there was something behind it.
"Hello, everyone." Principle Greene greeted. "Today the president will be making a big announcement. No body really know what this is about, but this conference is being broadcast across the world and we have been instructed to watch it."
Everyone groaned, including the teachers.
The lights went out and the projector came on. Aro stood with the president at a large table with the rest of the Volturi. The Cullens stiffened around me, making me more nervous.
They went through all of the formal stuff.
The president stood up and took the microphone.
"This conference is being held to introduce a new species to the world. A species that has been in hiding for centuries. I would ask you to keep in mind that these are people, not animals, and not objects. These are people with feelings and emotions, friends and families. Months ago I had a meeting with Aro Volturi and his family." Aro sneered at the word family. "We had a long conversation about this announcement and I feel that he should make it."
The president went back to his seat. Not only did Aro stand up, but all of the Volturi. There was an eerie silence. There had to be at least a hundred people in that room, and they were all silent.
"I am Aro Volturi, and this is my coven." He stressed the word coven. "My kind has been walking with your kind for thousands of years. Today we will make our existence known... Through out history the story of vampires has been told and written down as fairly or horror stories. These characters are not as made up as you would think. We are vampires." Everyone in the auditorium gasped, some screamed. "We will not harm you. We have taken example of a coven in Washington and changed our diet so we may live among humans without harming them. Do not think this a joke. This is serous, I have lived for thousands of years and have chosen, along with my coven to come out."
Reporters hands shot up. Aro chose one reluctantly.
"So are you say that vampires exist?" The man asked. What a stupid question.
Aro rolled his eyes. "Yes." He said then chose another hand.
"How many of your kind are there?"
"There has never been a count. Most are nomads, traveling by them selves. There are very little covens."
"You said that you changed our diet, how?"
"We feed off animals now."
"What are the characteristics of a vampire?"
Edward held me tighter after this question. I looked up at him, but he was looking at Alice who held the expression of horror on her face.
"Our kind has pale skin that is hard and cold, and indestructible. Our eyes are golden and darken when we are hungry. When we are changed we are changed we become attractive to your species."
Right then all heads turned to the Cullens and me. We stared back with blank expressions. I could only imagine what Edward we hearing right now, my face involuntarily heated up. The interview kept going on, but no one was paying attention to them anymore.
"Are than any special things to being a...."
"Vampire. And yes. We are extremely fast and do not have to breath. Most of us have special powers that are different from an others."
The president came back and told us that laws would be made for the 'new species' and that we are all safe and there is no reason to worry. Like that was going to help peoples reactions.
After that the screen went blank and people stared at us. We pretended not to notice them. Mr. Greene took the microphone.
"Um, wow. I realize that this was a really big announcement and that none of us were prepared for that, but we will still go on like nothing is... Like this is any other day." I respected Mr. Greene for not trying to offend the Cullens. "Now please everybody please go back to your classes."
Nobody moved.
I stood up and took Edwards hand. I didn't want him to have to hear this. I wished that I could move as fast as a vampire, I hated that they were judging the Cullens like this. They were judging me too, but I didn't care. I cared about Edward, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and Rose, my family. Edward took my hand and walked out of the gym with me with the others behind us. We went back to our classes without saying a word to each other.
I sat down next to Edward in English. The room slowly filled with students, all of them shooting us curious glances. I tried to stay focused on the homework I was going over. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Edwards jaw clench and unclench the same with his fists. I put my hand lovingly on his wrist and looked him in the eye. They gave nothing away.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
He nodded, but said nothing. It was getting me really angry.
"Say something... Talk to me, Edward." I was desperate to hear his voice.
"I love you, Bella."
Before I could say anything his lips were on mine. This kiss was the kind that made me happy that I was sitting down, because if I wasn't I would have been on the ground by now. It was gentle yet passionate. Edward wasn't folding anything hidden. I loved this kiss. I just wish that he hadn't started it in school. I had to push away. That was his job. I put my hands on his chest. That didn't help me at all, I could feel his muscles, he had the best body on this earth. I tried to take my mind off of this by thinking of my father Yep, that did it. I pushed Edward away. I knew that with his strength it was probably like a feather landing on your chest, but he backed away and gave me a questioning look.
"We're kind of in school, Edward." I whispered.
I looked back at the class and saw that they were all watching us with shocked faces. The teacher came back to reality and started the class. Through the whole class we were shot glances. I was relived that we weren't getting glares or disgusted looks. I still held Edwards hand through the class.
The day carried on like that for the entire day. Mike, Angela, and Jessica made an attempt to talk to me but I was really busy with Edward today. To my surprise they were all nice to the Cullens, like nothing had changed. Okay, I use the word 'nice' extremely loosely. I mean Angela was fine, but Mike and Jessica were... well how nice can they really be?
Edward drove me home at the end of the day, like he always does. I was surprised when I was that Charlie was home. Edward looked shocked for a second and then became murderously angry. This was not good. We got out of the car and walked inside. Charlie wasn't in the living room or th kitchen. I heard him up stairs. I looked at Edward questioningly. He looked.... Well he looked like a vampire.
Seeing him like this made me scared. I ran up the stairs and found Charlie in my room. Oh my God....
He was packing my stuff.........
Didn't see that coming now did you? Don't hate me, okay? It's just getting juicy!
REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
