Calculus I had with Emmett and Alice.

Edward! I've seen her. Look! Flashes of Bella came into Alice's mind. Bella laughing, me kissing Bella, Bella sickly white, ice cold, hanging on Alice's arm, with our butterscotch eyes.

NO! I thought, she will NOT be turned into a monster. I will not let it happen. Alice noticed my expression.

You don't want to turn her? Why? Edward, it's the only way we're safe. The volturi!

I shook my head.

Hey bro, careful. The desk can't take the force! Emmett warned. I loosened my grip on the table. Bits of wood splintered into my hands.

Jeez, Edward. Are you like, in love with her? Alice asked.

I shrugged, inconspicuously. So only they knew it was a shrug.

What are you guys talking about? Man! I hate it when you do that!

Emmett whined. I laughed, and he frowned.

You better stop laughing at me or I'll picture what me and rose did this morning…..

Flashes of Rosalie in different stage of undress passed through Emmett's mind. I growled lowly, so only the extra sensitive ears could here, and Emmett's mental laughter boomed in my head.

Just then, Alice had a vision. Me and Bella, after school tomorrow. I was in her room. She was on her bed, talking to me. She leaned in and brushed her lips against mine, ever so slightly, and I actually didn't pull back, neither did she when she noticed how cold I was. Then the vision stopped and I was pulled back into the real world.

Whoa Eddie boy, your gonna have fun tomorrow! Alice squealed into my head. I nodded, and she bounced into her seat.

.Gee! Wait until I tell Esme! She'll be so happy. I wonder what's Bella's favorite color? Hmm…

I pulled out of her head. I noticed briefly that the bell was going to ring in 4 seconds, and got up out of my seat and was out the door before the bell.

I moved at vampire speed, until I was outside the English door. I leaned against the wall, and the bell rang. She was the last one out the door, and she tripped when she saw me. I caught her around the waist, and steadied her. Her face was beat red. "Sorry. I seem to fall a lot when your around." She stated. I chuckled. "I noticed. Good thing I'm here." She nodded. "Are you okay? Your hands are really cold." Bella noted. I pulled my hands off her waist and started grabbing her things. I then followed her scent to her locker and waited for her to catch up. She opened her locker and put her things away, and as she closed her locker, she looked into my eyes. "Hey, weren't your eyes golden this morning? Now they're pitch black, and its kind of scary. Do you wear contacts?" I closed my eyes. "No. I should get going. See you tomorrow." And I turned around and walked away. I met my family in the parking lot, and Man was Rosalie steamed.

Edward! How could you? She's not even one of us. Alice said you don't plan on changing her. What the hell? Are you just gonna play with your FOOD first? That's kinda demented. I thought you were better than that.

Rosalie's mental chatter was to much for me. I threw my keys to Emmett. "You take the car. I need a nice run" I stated and turned around towards the woods. I heard a loud engine, and I followed it. It was a red Chevy pick-up, old and rusty. And driving it was none other than Isabella swan. I ran along side the road, just under the cover of trees. It was then that I saw a semi run a red light. It was headed straight for my Bella. She didn't even see it. I did the only thing I knew how. I ran out in front of Bella and stopped her truck with my hands before it got to the intersection. There was a screech and my hand print was on the hood. She looked up into my eyes, and gasped. She got out and ran towards me and hugged me tightly. "Oh my god. Are you okay? I could've killed you-" She broke off, looked at her hood, and back at me "How….What?.." I looked into her eyes as understanding dawned on her. "You- how is that possible? You stopped my truck with your hands! That's not possible!" She was panicking. I heard that faint sirens, and I leaped over the truck and into the woods. I left Bella behind, and I knew I was going to be in deep crap now. She saw me, she knows im not Human. She knows, and Rosalie was right. Maybe- Maybe I am just playing with food. Because I can't think of her any other way- even though I already do. I love her. Im in love with her. She is my life now.

I went to the hospital, to talk to Carlisle. He was at his desk, looking threw paper work

Come in, Edward His mental voice said. I went in.

Is this about the girl? Isabella? She's fine, and she hasn't said anything about- about you. Not how you stopped her car with your hands. She's been deep in thought for about thirteen minutes, to be exact. She asked for you, once I introduced my self as .

Edward, be careful, son. I laughed. "She really didn't say anything? Even to the Chief of police? I wonder why." I wondered out loud. "I don't know son. Go see her, talk to her. Make sure she understands that our secret is one that needs to be kept. It is a great responsibility. Now go and tell her everything. I'm behind you on this one, son" Carlisle said in his best fatherly voice. I nodded and left. He mentally shouted room 318! I chuckled. It would've been so much funner to trace her scent. Oh well. I came up to her door and gently pushed it open. It was empty, except a hospital bed. Bella was in a hospital gown, in the bed reading. "Hey Edward." She said without even looking up. "How'd ya know it was me?" I asked suspiciously. "Me heart speeds up every time you come near me. Its not consciously , it just happens. Plus, I kind of hoped you'd explain things to me." She closed her book and place it on the stand in front of the bed. She got down and came around to where I was standing. "Please, Edward. I really need to know how you-did what you did." I shook my head. "I'm not good for you Bella, trust me on this one. But if you really want to know how I stopped the truck with my bare hands, then I will tell you. Under the agreement that you don't tell anyone else. Ever. This becomes your secret after today. Understand?" She took a deep breath and nodded. I breathed in her scent, and caught something- sweet mixed in. Sickly sweet. It made my mouth fill with venom. "Whats that smell?" I asked out loud. She blushed deeply, and it hit me. She was wearing anything under the gown. And I probably was dazzling her, so that smell was her arousal. I froze at the thought, because with it came pictures- fantasies. Ones that could never happen. "Um-Uh-Yeah-uh. Just explain this to me! Now" she said nervously. She grabbed the back of her gown and pinched it shut so she could turn around and sit on the bed. "Im a vampire" I said without thinking. She laughed hysterically. She was rolling on the bed, laughing. "Jesus Christ. That is the-laugh-most hilarious-laugh-thing I've ever been told." I looked at her seriously. "Im not kidding. Bella, im a vampire" She stopped laughing. She studied my face for a minute. "No your not, its impossible." I laughed. "Oh really? Impossible. Well, watch this." I lifted up the bed she was on, with one hand. She screeched "Put me down! NOW!" I laughed and set her down. I took a hospital blanket and split it down the middle with my teeth, like a razor. She gasped. "Oh wow. Wow oh wow. You weren't kidding. Okay. That's okay." She rambled nervously. "Okay? You think its okay? Well ask me the most important question. Ask me what I eat?" She shook her head "I don't care. You wont hurt me, I've seen it in your eyes. You cant hurt me" I laughed and answered my question "Blood. I drink blood. Not food-I cant touch it." she shook her head. "I don't care! I like you for who you are, not what you are" I shook my head. "Your already to attached to me. Its only going to be that much more difficult for you when we leave." She turned a sick pale color. She whispered "Your not leaving me. Promise you wont leave me! Promise!" She started crying and looked up at me. "I cant promise that. I cant. I will do whatever's best for you." I left the room. I just turned around and left.
