What was i thinking? I was on my way to a vampire's house! And not even on my own free will. Alex had told me that it was nesassery, a offer by the gods or soemthing. Well to him, haveing a vampire friend might be good for the assignment and i agreed. Not that i was interested in getting all cuddly with him, though. Thank god there is only one and not a whole coven like my mother had delt with once. Shaking a little, i jumped into the little Audi cope Alex had givin me. It was in the parking lot with a note on the frount of it and the clerk gave me some keys. One thing to look forward to, instead of ridding the bus everywhere.

As soon as Rosealie heard about the news-that bella was comeing over for a study date-all hell broke loss. She refussed to stay in a house with a human. A human i had strange feelings about. Not only was the smell of her blood maddining, but i may acually be falling for this strange mortal. So with that, Rose left with Emmett; Alice and Jasper went upstairs to do god know's what; Esme and Carlisle moved to to the kitchen. Only i stayed where i was near the frount door, feeling anoxious to know that the girl i've only knew for a day-but i already felt like i've known her forever-was on her was to my house. At last, i heard the sound of tires coming off the highway and onto our driveway. Once the car stopped infrount of the frount door, i was on the steps and smiling befor i could help it.

"Hello, Bella," i said to the small, nervious looking girl that looked like she was watching carefully at the ground as she stepped out of the car. Must be clumsy, i thought at the same moment she had to catch herself on the door of her car.

"Umm, hi."

Edward was suddenly there when i stopped the car at the fround door, smiling.

"Hello, bella."

So i wouldn't have to look at his face, i kept my eye's down when i stepped from the car. A feeling of dizziness swepped over me and i had to catch the door for support.

"Umm, hi." Even to me my voice sounded scared stiff. Calm down, Bella, i thought. If you want to make it out of here alive, be more friendly. "Hay, Edward," i tried again in a cheery tone.

"Are you hungry?"

Yeah, but i don't drink blood. "Kind of." I forced my self to say. Even though i was in a vampire's house, my politness came through, nonetheless.

"Good. Esme's cooking something." He sounded excited. Wait! What? I was a bit caught up in the gentleness of his eye's, that i almost missed what he had said.

"Who's Esme?" Oh, please don't tell me he had a slave.

"My mum. Come on, i'll introduce you's," he suggested, walking though the door. He came back a few moments later when i didn't follow. What was i doing? "Hurry up," he joked playfully.

"Yeah...umm...coming."

I had to admit it, his house was beautiful. The whole back of the three story house was made of glass and the whole bottem story looked like one big living room. A large piano dominated the left side of the room, on an upraised portion of the floor. It was a big house for him and his...mum. He led me through a door and into another large room-a kitchen. The room had been split in half by the centre island. Everything in the kitchen was stainless steel and spotless. On the otherside was a large dinning room table, seven chairs around it. So many chairs, it made me wonder...

"How many people live here with you?"

"Myself and Esme; my dad and my two bothers and two sisters." What! Seven vampire's in one town. I had my work cut out for me. Just then, a beautiful redish haired woman with a lovely heart shaped face walked in behind me.

"You must be Bella." Dispit myself, i jumped a little at the sound of her sweat motherly voice. Vampire's weren't ment to sound like that, were they? So sweat. "Are you hungry?"

"Sure," i smiled as best i could. These people had no idea that i knew their secret, and i really didn't want to see what would happened if they found out that i knew.

"If your not sure about her cooking, we could go to Macca's," came a booming voice from the next room. The biggest guy i had ever seen walked into the kitchen and gave me a grin. "I'm Emmett."

I nodded in he's direction, looking everywhere except at the three vampire's that now crowded the kitchen.

"Why don't you have a seat," Esme said, gestering to the table.

"Acually," i started slowly, trying to hide the fear in my voice as much as i can, "can i yous the bathroom?"

"Sure, honey. Second floor, on the right and last door in the hallway."

"Thank you." It took me all my will power to turn my back of a bunch of vampire's. Once the door shut behind me, i practicly run up the stairs, only to be stopped by a voice like wind chims.

"Bella!" A short spiky haired girl called from the other end of the second story hall. Why was every one so friendly? This is not what i was expecting from a household of vampire's.

"One second, please," i said to the girl, holding up my fingur as i stepped into the bathroom. Why were these vampire's so calm anout having a human in there house? Beats me. Right now, though, i needed to focus on my assignment. So i called Alex for my next instruction.

"Bella, are yoou alright?"

"Yes. I'm in their house...Now what."

There was a pause as he picked up on what i knew he would. "Their?"

"Yeah. Turns out there are seven all up, living together."

"Umm, ok...Here's what i need you to do..."

Everyone staired at me when Bella walked out of the kitchen. All there minds were set on something different. Esme was so happy and was marvaling over how pretty she though Bella was. Emmett-being Emmett-was thinking that she was funny as hell. And i was very pleased that they all seemed to like her, even though she was a little skittish.

"So, Edward. Why is she over here again?" Emmett asked, jumping over the counter.

"You know why. A study date."

Ohhhh, 'study' date. I get it. And he snickered. I hated it when he thought follish things around me, he knew it annoyed me.

"Can someone tell me why Bella was talking in Italian on the phone in the bathroom?" Alice asked, walking in the room with a confussed look.

"Italian?" How could she know Italian? "There must be a mistake."

Thats when Esme jumped in the conversation. "Why don't you's ask her?"

"Ok." I turned to Alice. "Did you listen to what she was saying?"

"No. Why would i eavsdrop on your girlfriend?" Emmett laughed and fist bumped Alice for the comment. I rolled my eyes.

Befor i went back down stairs, i made sure my watch was set on record. Alex had told me to carefully bring up topics of there family, where they used to live, stuff like that and to record it. There was no one in the hallway, so i ran a quietly as i could back to the kitchen. All of them were still there, including the little girl who introduced herself as Alice.

After the food was cooked, and we were all seated around the table, was when i started asking questions.

"So," i began as i twirled pasta around me fork, "where did you's live befor here?"

It was Esme who answered. "Up in Alaska, with some of our family."

I kept my face as controled as i could. "Mmm." There was a bit of akward silence before-thankfully-someone broke it. Alice.

"Where did you learn to speek fluent Italian?" I froze.

Oh, shit. if they could hear me, does that mean they knew what i was saying? I looked at all of them, expecting to see anger on there faces. Yet all i could find was open curiousity, expectionly from Edward.

"Before i came here, i was at a privet school in Pheonix. I studied Italian for all most four years." That sounded believable.

"Well then, thats something-." Esme started to say,, but a ringing sound cut her off. A cell phone. Why would a vampire have a cell phone? "Carlisle...Whats the matter?" There was a pause as she waited for him to answer. I looked over at Edward questionly. My father, he mouthed. Before Esme answered, Edward talked.

"Come on, we need to study."

On our way out, Edward looked over at a grinning Emmett and shook his head. Studing wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Without the rest of his 'family' stairing at me like i was a happy meal, i found meself letting my guard down a bit. Then something hit me as Edward walked me to the fround door around six-thirty. Was i starting to like him? No. That couldn't be. I mean he is hot, nice, funny and careing, but that could all be a act. By the time that we got to the door i was so nervious to get out of here that i nearly ran into the door. Great time for my balance to stuff up.

"See you tomorrow, Bella?"

"Yep, sure," was all i responded with before i walked out the door. See the problem with rushing so mush, was that you forget things. My feet tripped over the first step and i fell the rest of the six steps to the hard gravel below. I heard a loud crack as my head connected with a step then hit the gravel. Starbursts danced infrount of my eyes and a loud ringing sounded in my ears. Before i knew it, i was being pulled under unconsiousness in frount of my worst enemys home.
