Chapter 3

AngelaPOV

It was like flying! At first, I was freaking out. I mean, there are so many trees! And, Emmett was going so fast! But now that the fear is gone, it's so much fun!

"Emmett, this is so much fun!" I said, smiling.

Emmett laughed. "Human reactions are always hilarious."

"What do you mean 'human'?" Everyone is human." I said, now confused.

"I'm not human. Edward, Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie aren't human either. I thought Bella would have told you…."

"Bella didn't tell me anything! If you aren't human, then what are you?!" I yelled. I hadn't realized we stopped and I was still on Emmett's back.

Bella ran over by me. Emmett unwrapped my arms from his hard neck and put me on the ground carefully, making sure I don't fall. Bella looked at me apologetically.

"I was going to tell you sooner, but I didn't want you to freak out and avoid the Cullens. I know you're not the judgment type, but I wanted you to get to know them before you make judgments, like everyone else." Bella said.

"So, now you're comparing me to everyone else? Thanks a lot, Bella." I said, walking into the forest, trying to remember which way we came from.

"I'm not comparing you to anyone. I'm just being careful. Almost everyone shies away from the Cullens because they're different. That difference drew me closer, and now I know that the Cullens are good….beings." Her words were slightly calming.

"Then what are they?" I whispered.

"Vampires." Something about that one word she said sent shivers down my spine.

"Aren't….vampires….supposed to drink human blood?" That was just the first of many questions.

"Other vampires do, but not the Cullens. They drink animal blood." Bella explained. "They don't want to be monsters."

"Even though we still are." Edward mumbled.

"No! You aren't monsters!" Bella yelled. I guess this is a touchy subject.

"Yes we are, Bella! You just don't get it! We can kill you and Angela before you even blink! You can't fight us off and you can't outrun us! We were made monsters and we always will be!" He yelled. Yep, very touchy subject.

"I don't care what you….are. It doesn't matter what you were made to do! You are strong enough to resist it! That's why Angela and I are still alive!" Bella said quietly.

Edward's jaw clenched and relaxed in the same second.

I tried to change the subject. "Umm….can someone answer my questions?" I suggested.

"I will!" Alice said as she pranced into the clearing with Jasper right behind her. Jasper stood by Emmett as Alice pulled me over to two rocks and we both sat down.

"Alice, what about the baseball game?" Edward asked with impatience in his voice.

"You can wait. This won't take that long." She replied.

Alice cleared her throat. "First question." Alice stared at me intently.

"Ok. Umm….do you really sle-"

"No, we do not really sleep in coffins. We don't sleep at all."

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Never mind. You don't sleep?!"

"No. I don't know why. Next question."

"Can all of your kind see the future?"

"No. Only some vampires have extra abilities."

I was surprised at her casual use of the word vampires. "Do all of the Cullens have extra abilities?"

"No. Only me, Edward, and Jasper."

"What can Edward and Jasper do?"

"Edward can read minds. Jasper can control and feel the emotions of people around him."

My jaw dropped. "They can?!"

"Yeah. Haven't you seen Edward and I have a 'silent conversations'? And haven't you noticed, whenever the conversation got tense, it calmed?"

"Yeah…."

"Well, Edward reads my mind for my response and I check the future for what he is going to say next. And i don't know how Jasper can do his extra ability. It's really cool, though!"

"Oh." Was all I could manage to get out. So Edward knew what I was thinking right now?! And Jasper knew what i was feeling?! He must sense a whole lot of shock.

"Is being a….vampire…. the reason you don't come to school on the occasional sunny days? Will you turn to dust?" I asked, curious.

"No. We don't turn to dust in the sunlight. We sparkle."

"Sparkle?!"

"Yes. It's very blinding to humans. Jeez, Hollywood is making us look bad!"

"Alice! Let's start the game! Esme and Carlisle are here!" Edward yelled.

"Okay." She yelled back. To me she said, "He can get so impatient."

"I heard that!" He yelled. How did he hear that? He is like 100 feet away! I barely heard Alice.

Alice ran to the pitcher's mound like 80 feet away. I blinked so I missed it. Bella took Alice's place on the rock next to me.

"Let the game begin!" Esme yelled.
