Chapter 7

Author's Note: First of all, I'd like to thank all of my readers. Secondly, I am incredibly glad to be back on FanFiction, writing this story. The idea originally came from... I don't know what. But I was watching Sweeny Todd, Reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, sitting on my Grandma's Couch eating Cap'n Crunch, cuddling my little sister's blanket and the idea came to me. (Don't ask) Yes, I know the characters are out of character. .. So be nice... lol..... Enjoy :)

I don't own Twilight, I don't own any of the Characters...

The next day, I woke up and got dressed, wearing a blue tanktop and a scoop V-Neck Tee and my blue and white Converse. I put my hair in the usual headband and my Black Pea Coat. Charlie already left. I got in my truck and just sat there. Edward was always there early, and I didn't really want to run into him again. Yesterday was really weird. Him storming off like that... What was really going on between the Blacks' and the Cullens'? I finally buckled myself into the car and began to drive. When I was at school, I unbuckled and sat there for a little while. If Edward was a vampire, then why did he and Jacob hate each other so much? Something didn't fit together. Suddenly, I heard a tap at the passenger window. I quickly rolled down the window, to see Edward standing there.

"May I come in?" He asked. His face seemed tired, confused and lost. His strangely topaz eyes semed cold and hard.

"Umm... Sure" I said. I picked my backpack up off of the passenger seat and held it in my lap. He opened the door and jumped into the truck, closing the door behind him.

"I am incredibly sorry about my rudeness yesterday. I think it's only fair if I explain everything to you." He told me. The bell rang.

"That is going to have to wait. I have class to get to" I said rudely, opening the door.

"Bella, please wait. I have a late pass for you" He said desperatley. He handed me a golden rod piece of paper cut into 1/4. Hall Pass for Miss Isabella Swan. Please excuse her to class when she arrives. 11-23-2009. Signed, Mrs. Allie Harris FORKS HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL. I read the slip.

"How did you get this?" I asked him.

"I asked the Principal for it. I told her you weren't feeling well, so I was going to take you to rest at home for a little while. Bella, please. Just trust me on this one"

"You promise to answer all of my questions.. Honestly?" I asked.

"Promise" He agreed."What do you know?"

"I know that you guys are vampires. And the Blacks' are Werewolves... And you guys are fighting about territory or something" I explained. He told me the story. (If you have read Twilight, you know this already.)

"Our family isn't supposed to tell anyone because of the... Volturi. They are an evil clan of Vampires. They will change whoever knows into... One of us" He told me.

"Edward, why do i keep getting help from your family? It is making no sense to me. I keep running into them..." I said, thinking about my savings from Jasper, Edward, Emmet, Doctor Cullen- It was all overwhelming. I felt like a stupid damsel in distress..

"Bella, this is going to sound incredibly- Odd to you. But, since your arrival in Forks, and you being close to the Blacks', my father feels it's only right that we watch over you. He sensed something incredible about you that he isn't sure about, but he wants us to take incredible care of you-Prevent you from any harm that may come your way. He isn't sure what this sense is, but he thinks you may be able to create some kind of difference in this world... He isn't sure what yet, but he knows we need to protect you" He told me.

"I don't need to be protected. Especilly by you guys" I said, opening the car door. I stepped out of the truck and started walking toward the school. Oh God.. Walking into the classroom when everyone would immediatley look at me.. Embarassing.

"Bella, Wait" Edward called. He caught up with me."I need to show you something"

"What, Edward? Are you going to miraculously prevent me from the common cold? Stop my allergies forever?" I asked, bitterly. He stared back at me.

"I just. want to make. you happy, Bella and Respect my father's wishes. Please let me." He argued. I just stood there, staring into his gorgeous green eyes. He stared back. I was suddenly lost in the moment. The pattering rain, the cold air.. I was lost.

"...Fine. You can, but I want to be back during lunch" I finally gave in.

"Would you like to take a ride in my car, or yours?" He asked politely.

"I don't care"

"Mine it is" He pulled a ring of keys out of his jean pocket. There was a car remote hanging on it, next to a silver and a gold key. His ivory finger pushed one of the buttons and the car clicked to life. He guided me over to the silver volvo. Edward politely opened the passenger door. I stepped inside. He started the car, and drove me a long ways, till we met a winding road leading into the forest. When the car finally came to a stop, I was staring at a large modern type mansion with dozens of glass windows and doors.

"Welcome, Bella" I gasped.
