Chapter 3

"Blood"

The next morning I woke up with the sun on my eyes.I sat up in bed ,my room was lit

up like I had never seen it before. I walked to look out the window and saw

a bunch of clouds but they were not in the way. I had been so mesmerized by my

lit up room that had forgot about Jasper.

Then everything came back to me and for the first time I considered to skip

school completely and just to have a day for myself to think. But Charlie

would be concerned and Renee“ would be overly I was not

going to let a guy have that sort of control over me. I got dressed , ate and got on

my way. When I had parked the truck I saw Jessica and Angela get out of Jessica's

car a bit further away they saw me and waved.

"Hey Bella " Jessica said

"Hey" I said and closed the door to my truck.I was going to ignore him today. Wich

was easier said then done. As I walked to the girls I glanced at the Cullen's cars in their

usual spot and realize that they were all gone less discrete I looked around and was surprised that I couldn't see any of them anywhere. I started to feel a small panic in my

gut , had they all left this time? Were they ever coming back? What if they all had stayed

away because of me?

"Oh The Cullens are not here" Jessica told me

"I saw that" I said quietly

"Whenever the weather is nice they disappear"

"What they just ditch?"

"No ,Dr Cullen takes them hiking or whatever"

I felt a lot better and the panic sunk and we walked inside I got reminded of that conversation we had in the cafeteria about them being different. Was it possible they were super sensitive to sunlight and that hiking was just an excuse?

That would explain why they all are so day went smoothly and I was a bit

of relief that none of the Cullens were there it was like I could focus for the first time

since I had started. Later at lunch when we sat down in the cafeteria I glanced at the empty Cullen table , you really felt like they were missing especially since no one else sat there in their place.

"Hey, La push baby you in?" Eric asked only looking at me

"What?" I replied

"La push beach, we are all going since the weather is so nice" Mike said

"I mean I don't just surf the internet" Eric said standing up on his chair bending his knees

"Surfing?" I said trying my best not to sound too surprised

"Yeah we love it"Jessica said

"We love it if you would come" Mike said and looked right in to my eyes

"Well that I have to see, I can't Imagen surfing up here" I said and smiled

"There will be whale watching too" Angela said

" Oh no I hate whales, they freak me out, my mom took me to seaworld when I was little

and lets just say I never wanted to come back ever again, the giant black dolphin with no eyes scared the crap out of me. "They all laughed " Then my mom wanted me to get over it so we watched free Willy and it only made it worse. "They all looked at me with big eyes and smiles I realize this was probably the most I had ever spoken.

"Ok, no whales then" Mike said smiling at me

"But sure I come with" I said and took a bite of my baby carrot.

"Yeah , we will meet up at my dads store after school , do you know where it is?"

"Yeah I think so" I said .Mike smiled and nodded like he was glad to hear it.

"La Push baby , Its l-a push! " Eric said in a sassy voice.

"Do you want me to change my mind?" I joked and they laughed.

This really wasthe most I had talked since I started. I felt like I had to try and

keep it up so the others wouldn't think "Yay its sunny today Bella will talk because the Cullens are way!"

After lunch Angela Jessica and I walked to sit outside.

"So I keep thinking that I should ask Eric to prom but I just can't?" Angela said

"Why not?" I asked

"Well he don't seem to have interest in me" She said and glanced at me.

"You should just ask him, you are a strong independent woman"

"Really?"

"Yes, just ask him already" Jessica said and waved her hand.

We sat down on a bench.

"Yeah cause it would be weird to go shopping for dresses when you don't have a date"

Angela said. Then I felt the question coming

" Who are you going with Bella?" Jessica asked me.

"Uhm I'm not going, I'm gonna visit my mom and her husband that weekend"

"What?"Jessica asked mortified

"I didn't know prom was going to be that weekend" I really didn't

"Can't you just go another weekend?" Angela asked

"None refundable ticket"

"But you wanna go right?" Jessica asked

"Uhm yes, " I lied "But I don't even know who I could go with"

"What about, you know" Angela said and gave me a face

"Oh please Angela as if" Jessica said. Inside I agreed.

"I mean Jasper is not like that"I said and was stunned.I had never said his name before.

"Well we are going shopping In Port Angeles tomorrow before all the good dresses

run out , you should come with us, once you there you might change your mind."
Jessica said looking at me in a side eye with a smirk. Despite everything I really

liked her, in some small kind of way she reminded me of my mom, that's

pretty much exactly what she would have said.

School was over and I was on my way to meet up with the others to go to La Push.

It felt good to have a day to focus on them and on school, It was very odd

since the words "a day off " flew by my mind all the time. I found them

and parked the truck.

"Bella" Eric said enthusiastically. I liked these new friends of mine they were more

honest and down to earth and kinder then the ones I had in Phoenix .I turned off the engine

and looked at Mike , the way he was always so happy was a bit annoying but it made me

feel uplifted. Did I really want to hang out with the Cullens if they weren't like these people at all?

"Are we ready to go?" Jessica asked Mike

"Yes , we are , hi Bella " He said like he had not seen me in a week .

"Hey everybody " I said trying not to seem awkward.

We got in to two minivans, Tyler had offered to ride with him but I declined since

it was the one that had almost crushed me, instead got in to Mike's sitting in the front

with the others squeezed in to the got out of town, the sunlight

reflected on the wet pavement and trees flew by quickly . Mike drove first in a

good speed. It was odd to see him drive it was almost like he had been to young

in my mind even though we were classmates.

"Are you cold or anything?" he asked me

"No,I'm fine" I said and looked out the window.

For a second I had forgot all the others in the car,I looked back at Jessica who

glared at Mike with a serious frown. About twenty-five minutes later we finally arrived.

"Oh" I whispered

"Beautiful right?" Mike asked

"Yeah"I was stunned. The sunlight danced on the waves and made the black rocks shine

and the small spots of sand sparkle.

Some one in the back started laughing and I was brought back to reality.

Eric, Jessica and the others that were going to surf changed.

Mike walked around the van and walked towards me shirtless.

I immediately started blushing, which I put his arms in the sleeves.

"Can you sip me up?" he asked and I was glad that he turned around.

"Sure" I said and pulled up the sipper.

"Thanks " he said and grabbed his board.I blushed again and turned away terrified anybody

would see my face.

"So shall we go?" Eric asked the others

"Yeah" Mike said. I looked up and saw them walking away Jessica was walking right

next to Mike with her board occasionally bumping in to his.

"So do you think I should ask him now?" Angela asked next to me looking the same direction

"Yeah why not, its nice weather"

"Yeah , I will ask when he is done" She said. Tyler walked up to us

"Ask what?"

"Nothing" We both said.

Then we saw a bunch of people down at the beach.

"You wanna go down? Angela asked me

"Sure" I said, we were followed by Tyler and some other people I forgot the names of.

As we got closer we saw that the people in the beach were teenagers like us.

"Hey , look palefaces!" One of them yelled

"Be nice" Some one else said. I looked up and saw someone familiar.

"Jacob?" I asked the guy

"Oh, Hey Bella!" It was Jacob! He walked over and gave me a hug.

"So you know each other?" Angela asked

"Yeah, Our dads are best friends" I told her

"So what are you doing here?" He asked me

"Uhm some of our friends wanted to surf" I said and pointed at them in the waves

"Its nice weather" He said . I realized that some had started to walk away.

"It is ,we have all been enjoying it all day in school" I said

"Except the Cullens" Angela said to me teasingly

"Did you say Cullens?" One of the guys behind Jacob asked

"Yes" Angela said surprised they had paid attention

"Cullens are freaks"He said. I was surprised they knew who they were.

"Well were ever they are they can't come here" Another guy said

"O-k" Angela said and started walking away joining the others.

I was left alone with Jacob when his friends left as well.

"Do you know about the Cullens too? I asked him

"Well a little" I was surprised ,everybody seemed to know about them.

"Tell me"

"No , I mean I shouldn't" he said and looked away. I grabbed his arm and got close.

"Please" I said and tried to sound cute. I couldn't let this opportunity slip away.

"Well ok " He said blushing a little. I was glad my bad flirting had worked.

"You see my tribe came across this family one time when they were hunting on

our land, but uhm what they did with the animals did not go well with my tribe"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well they hunted the animals but its said that they didn't hunt them for their meat,

they hunted them for their blood." He looked at my face for a reaction" My tribe told

the family that the couldn't hunt the animals like that on our land and if they did ,

we were going to expose them for what they were to the pale faces, you people."

"Ok, so , then what?" I asked. Jacob chuckled from seeing my face.

"It's just a scary old story Bella "

"Right" I confirmed

"Well the thing is this family it said to be the Cullens" He said more carefully.

"What do you mean 'it said to be' wouldn't you know?" He gave me a grin.

"Well you see I didn't run in to them neither did my dad, it was my great grandfather

that came across the family in like the late twenties" My jaw dropped

"But that doesn't make any sense" I said with terror in my voice. Jacob laughed

"People in the Quileute reservation like to believe the story is true"

"But wouldn't everybody know if they went to high school for eighty years?" I joked

"Yeah I know but someone said that they moved to Alaska like fifty years ago when my dad

was a baby and that they are back now with a different name." The second he had

said Alaska my stomach flipped. This couldn't be true right? Jasper had confirmed that his family was different but it was impossible that they could be so old?

"So everybody around here think they are like a cult?"

"No, not really , I mean they seem too normal for that, there is Dr Cullen at the hospital

acting like everybody else, I heard that he actually is the best, and then there is

the kids in your school. I mean, what would you say about them?"what was I gonna tell him?

"Well they are diffrent, but I don't think they are 'freaks"

"Well ok then If you say so"

"Thanks for telling me, Jacob"He blushed
"Don't mention it, I got to go"

"Well I see you around" I said and gave him a hug. I watched him walk away to his friends.

"Who was that?" Mike asked right behind me.

"Uhm an old friend" I said and turned around I had to look up to see him. His hair looked amazing wet and pushed back, he looked like a different person and his eyes had the exact same color as the sky . I felt the blush raising in my face.

"Uhm"Was all I said and then ran off to where Angela was had just asked

Eric about prom and he had said "yes".On the ride back I pushed to sit in the back behind Mike and next to Angela which Jessica was very pleased about so she took the front seat.

It was crazy the theories that people had about one family.

They most have known how people were talking about them but they still lived here.

The thoughts filled my head all the way back to Forks, I must be the only one in the entire

Olympics that new anything about the Cullens that were true cause I had asked.

I said a quick goodbye to the others and got in my truck to go home and search the internet.

I turned on my laptop my heart started beating was I gonna search for

"Cullens"? I started with "quileute legends". Under the headlines the word

"Wolf" kept coming up. "The quileute tribe goes back to over a thousand years ago and is said to be decedent from wolves" I read out loud. What the hell was this? So

Jacob came from a wolf tribe? I then searched for "quileute hunting land".But nothing came

up I searched around for twenty minutes when I came across something about

a creature called "the cold one."I then typed in "Cold one hunt" I ended up on

site about old legends about the same creature with diffrent names "cold one"

was one of the translations. I clicked around and read "undead" "Frozen" "Came back seventy years later exactly the same" "Strength" "possessed great speed" "Drank blood" one of the the other names that were given gave me chills it just said "Vampire". I clicked it all down and shut my laptop. It was impossible, it was very close to what I had thought but the Cullens didn't kill people and drink their blood like I had read these cults and creatures had.

Then I remembered the beautiful day and that their had been no Cullens in sight.

I tought of them with black capes and dracula teeth and giggled.

But what if it wasn't like history what if it was science? The door opened downstairs

Charlie was home, god what time was it?I ran down and found him sitting in the kitchen

"Hey dad"

"Hey" He said short I walked around to look at him
"What's wrong?" I asked he looked horrible

"A friend of mine ,Waylon was found in a boat "

"What happened?" I asked

"We don't know they are going to do an autopsy"

"He died!?"

"Yep" He said starring out in to nothing. I put my arms around him

"I'm so sorry dad"

"We had known each other for, thirty years"

"Yeah I remember him he was nice to me"

"He was killed by some animal"

"What kind of animal? I asked carefully

"I don't know but he seemed to be drained of his blood"

Panic hit me like a wrecking ball.

"Do you want something to eat?

"Thanks Bells, but no"

I walked over to the fridge and then gave him a cold beer.

"Goodnight dad" I said and hurried up the stairs. I tought I had to give him some space.

He had seemed more fierce and determinate then sad.

The next morning rain was heavy in the air and the Cullens were back.

I spotted Rosalie and Emmet walking down a hallway from behind and Jasper

had to be here as well. After second period I walked outside to stand

behind the school,I waited for him to show and after a while he did.

I looked at him and then I turned around and started walking on the trail in to the woods.

Had only walked for about two minutes when I heard him.

"Bella?" I turned around and saw him standing behind me.

"You were gone" I said trying to stay focused all I wanted to do was to kiss him.

"Well we don't , I mean we went hiking yesterday, my family and I "

"Ok I hope so" I said frustrated now

"I feel that you are upset, is it because I was missing yesterday?" He sounded worried.

"No, I had an amazing day yesterday" I said with almost anger

"What are you upset about is it because of the..." I knew where he was going with that.

"When you were out hiking what else did you do?" I interrupted him.

"We enjoyed nature and.." I turned to him.

"Did you hunt?" My question made his face drop in shock.

"No" He whispered

"Don't lie to me, did you hunt?!" I said and were finally able to meet his eyes.

"Yes" He said not moving a muscle

"My dads friend died yesterday , did you kill him?"

"Lord ,no" He said and looked mortified. I did believed him.

"Ok, you don't kill humans, but do you drink blood from animals?"

"Yes" He whispered his face turned from shock to brooding, It was obvious he had figured out that I had heard it from someone.

"Stay way from me , and my friends " I said and walked pass him back to school.

"Bella please , I wish I could tell you"

It took all the strength I had not to cry until I made it to the unlocked music room.

Later at lunch I stared right at all the Cullens as I walked to sit down, they all looked at me

nervous especially sat on the very end and looking worried.

"So you are coming with us to go shopping in Port angles today right?" Jessica asked me

"Yes I am" I oddly looked forward to it.

"All the Cullens are looking at you Bella"Mike said .
"Did you do something again?" Tyler asked teasingly

"Not exactly, I just asked Jasper about their hunting activities" The second I said it I heard

all the Cullens get up and storm out the cafeteria behind me.

"What, the ,hell?! Jessica said

"Serisoly don't think if them, they are the Cullens right? Friendly but weird" I said

Some of them bursted out laughing but all I could think about was blood which made me dizzy.

After school I dropped by the police station to say hi to Charlie.

"I will go with Jessica and Angela to Port Angeles,we are going shopping"

"Oh, well I think that be good for you" I sat down on his desk

"I will go home and fix dinner for you, you just have to heat it in the micro"

"Ok, bythe way I want you the have this with you" He gave me a pepper spray.

"Sure dad"

"Go away with you, be young" He said and pushed me to get up.

"I will fix something and don't heat it for longer then tree minutes"

"Alright"

Jessica drove faster then Mike had yesterday so the ride was not too long.

She as usual blabbered about her relationship with Mike and that he had kissed her on the cheek when they had said goodbye yesterday. I sat in the back and looked out the window.

"So what about the Cullens and what do they hunt?" Jessica asked

"I have no Idea , all I know is that they also hunt when they go out on sunny days" I said

trying to sound as casual as I could. I really regretted saying anything at all.

"Aha, well ok" Jessica responded and then started talking about prom music.

Angela glanced at me like she understood something.

We had been shopping for an hour and we were at our second store looking for dresses.

"I like this one but I don't know about the color" Jessica said.

"Maybe something pink?" Angela suggested

"Oh god yes" Jessica replied and took one to the changing room.

I wasn't paying that much attention. I thought about Jaspers sad eyes and

that he wished he could tell me something.

"Hello Bella?" What do you think is lavender my color?" Angela asked

"Yes it so your color" I told her, it really was. Then Jessica walked back with the pink dress.

"Ok I like this one , it makes my boobs look good" She sad and some guys that walked by

knocked on the window and made noises .

"Well the that dress is a guy magnet" I told her

"Huh well , I will take it!"

"Great and I will take this one Angela said" I smiled at them

"Are you sure you can't go?" She asked me

"Yes I am sure" I told her

"Come one lets keep moving we have to find the perfect shoes" Jessica said

"Uhm Can I catch up with you later, I would like to this bookstore"
"Well ok we can call you later when we are ready to eat" Jessica responded

"Yeah, sure I see you later" I put on my jacket and stepped out of the store.

I had seen a book store earlier when we had pulled in.I walked inside and took

a look around.
"Can I help you?" a lady that resembled Kathy Bates asked

"Well, do you have any books about legends ,cults , history?"

"Well i am afraid that this is quite a christian store here"

"Sorry" I said and hid my smile

"But there is another book store up this road to the left and then a right"

"Oh, thank" you I said and she smiled to me politely.

I walked around the block like the lady had told me I looked up at the sky and

it was already getting I got to the bookstore I glanced through

the window and saw a man with piercings in his face standing next to some candles.

I turned around and walked away ,it was obvious I wansn't going to find what I was looking

for were would I find some answers? I didn't wanna ask Jasper any more

but I wanted to know more. I looked up and realized that I was not going on the

same path as I had before. I took a left and walked right pass a bunch of guys.

"Hey beautiful" one of them said . At first I thought it was the same guys I had seen before

but these guys were clearly older. I started walking faster and took a right to be out

of their sight.I walked and saw that they somehow had end up on my left.

I thought that they were not following me so I kept walking after a while one of them asked

"Are you lost?" I considered to reply, they didn't have to be bad people.

"Come on precious baby!" Another guy said, ok never mind they were bad.

Panic hit me and when two guys ended up in front of me it got to the level were I was just

paralyzed and couldn't move. I closed my eyes hard and thought that this was just a dream

when I opened my eyes I was going to be with Jessica and Angela.

"Wanna have fun baby?" I voice said right behind me.I opened my eyes and looked at him.

Something flashed and the next second he was gone then Jasper stood in his place.

A guy flipped out a knife, Jasper took his arm and tossed him and the guy hit a window.

The other stared at Jasper with angry faces at first but then they turned terrified.

Jasper took me and carefully lifted me up in his arms.I shut my eyes and he walked away with me ,before I knew it we had stopped. I opened my eyes and we were right next to his opened the door and put me inside and then he closed the door and

already sat next to me starting the car.

"Put your seatbelt on" He said with his face looking like stone.
I did as he said and the car drove way over the speed limit and the

car quickly flew fast pass traffic on the way out of the city.

"I can not ,I can not" Jasper repeated to him self. I looked at him

"Jasper?" I said quietly

"Distract me" He said his voice sounding to calm to match the way he was driving.

"Put your seatbelt on" I said

"I don't need a seatbelt, I can't get hurt" he said starring at the road

"But I can" The car slowed down drastically

"How did you find me?"

"I knew you'll be here, I had to know you were going to be safe"

"I'm fine" I failed to convince him

"No, there was a murder Bella!" His voice thundered

"Yes, but nobody knows who that was"

"It was people like me, people like us" he could barely speak

"Ok,but I'm with you now so I'm safe" I told him and he looked a bit calmer.

"Yes you are" He said. I got hooked on what he had just said.

"Others like us? " I asked him

"Others like us that are" He stopped himself

"Vampires" I said. He looked at my face

"You are not bothered about that?"

"No, I know you are not like them you saved me twice"I said

"But I used to be like them, even worse" He said with sadness in his voice

"But not anymore, you are changed now"I saw that my words were working

he seemed to be calm again.

"I am a vampire" He said I didn't know what to respond with

"I'm a virgo" A smile flew across his face.

" I have to meet up with Angela and Jessica"

Jasper turned the car around not saying a word.

After a bit of silence we pulled up at a restaurant.

His door opened and then he was over me unbuckling my seatbelt.

He held his hand out for me, chills went down my spine when I felt how cold it was.

"I'm so sorry I wish.." he started

"No , Its ok I understand" He closed the door behind me.

"You are remarkable" he said and looked in to my eyes.

We walked up to the restaurant

"What are we doing here?" I asked but Jasper didn't get to reply

"Oh hi Bella" Jessica said as she walked out

"Hi" I responded and she and Angela starred at Jasper

"Some bookstore huh?" Jessica pointed out

"We tried to reach you, and then we got hungry" Angela said

"Its ok"I told her

"I'm sorry I kept her from you, I will make sure she gets home after she get fed"

The tree of us looked at the beautiful blonde creature in "ah"

"Yeah sure uhm guess we will see you Monday Bella" Angela said and grabbed Jessica's

arm and pulled her away and they both waved.

"Shall we?" He asked and put his hand in my lower took a table in the back

and after a while a waitress walked up to us.

"So what will it be?" She asked

"Uhm just water for me" Jasper said

" Uhm mushroom ravioli and a coke" I said not taking my eyes if him.

"Ok" She said and walked away

"How can you be so calm? He asked me

"What?"

"I sense how you feel, you are a bit to calm " He said and looked at me

"Well I'm too happy to see you to be in shock" It was honest

"Oh I see, so you do like me?" He asked getting a bit closer

"I do, It has not been easy but now when everything is all on the table we can be normal"

"Normal?"He asked
"Staying away from each other doesn't seem to work out"

"No it doesn't "he said and looked at his hands. Our drinks arrived.

"I really have to apologize for what I said in the cafeteria, I promise I won't

say anything to anyone" He looked up at me with warm eyes.

"How did you get to know so much?" He asked a bit curious.

"Well I have this friend who lives down at the reservation"

"Oh, them" He said and looked like he tried to remember something.

"He said that you hunted on their land but then stopped because of a deal"

"That is correct"

"And he also said that it was like seventy years that true? Were you here

seventy years ago?" his eyes flicked for a second

"Yes,well not me but the others". The new information had me quiet until my food arrived.

"Eat" He said softly. I did as he said.

"So there where other vampires that killed my dads friend?"

"Yes, there are others out there that are not as 'normal' as my family is"

"But they won't hurt me right?"

"I can never let them" He said. I stared crying at first light and then it got heavy.

I was happy we sat in the back and it seemed like nobody noticed.

"Why are you crying?"He asked as he put his arms around me

"It's everything my mom, dad , my dads friend , your family, you and

what almost happened to me, its a lot" I said through the sobbing and he held be a bit tighter.

"Its ok,I got you" He whispered in my ear.

"Most of all I feel a bit of relief that its all clear and that I'm not kept in the dark"

"I feel that"he said. I stopped crying and looked at him.

"You do? How?"He looked at me with a smirk.

"Well some people like me, have special gifts,I have the gift to sense other peoples

feelings"

"So you have always know how I felt?"

"Well, pretty much" He almost whispered

"Wow, does anybody else in your family have a gift?"

"Well Edward can read other peoples toughs" my jaw dropped

"Really?"

"But he can't read your thoughts at all, he says that your friend Jessica is like town hall"

"Well its surprise me she has any thoughts at all she seems to say everything"

"And then there is Alice,she can see the future"

"No way, I remembered when you said she had a hunch on things" he chuckled quietly.

It made me feel so much better now that I saw that he finally was relaxed.

"You said that you were not always like this and that you used to be different"

"I was" He said and swallowed

"Did Dr Cullen find you and help you?"

"Well actually Alice and I found them, they were as we call it vegetarians, they only drink

blood from animals all other vampires drink from humans. "

"So you met and you have been a family ever since?"

"Yes exactly, after the treaty with the Quileutes"

"Dr Cullen must be a very nice man"

"He really is and so is his wife Esme" I remembered the man had met at the hospital.

"Why were you gone for two weeks?" He looked away a bit shy before he answered.

"Well I lived the more traditional vampire lifestyle longer then the others

so its harder for me to be around people" he said slowly.

"What is so special about me?" I asked .He looked at me with intensity

"I have never in all my years ever come across someone that smells as wonderfully

enchanting as you do,like roses and honey" his words made me blush.

"So you had to stay away because I smelled to good?" He nodded

"I believe its called that your blood sings to me" I starred down at the food.

"When you say all your years, how old are you?" I asked and glanced at him.
"I was in the civilwar"I just starred at him and the way I felt made him smile again.

"I'm done, you can take me home now" I said

"Certainly" he said and put a fifty on the tabled and escorted me out. Once we got outside

he lifted me up again I closed my eyes took in his scent. He carefully put me back in the car

and put on my drove the car away from Port Angeles and got on the road back to the darkness I looked up at his beautiful face, could he be mine?

The car slowed down and I knew that meant we were at my home now.

I unbuckled my seatbelt and got ready for him to help me out.

"My fathers car is here" he said as he closed my door. I looked and saw another dark

car like his parked just next to the police crossed the street and got on the lawn.

The door opened and Dr Cullen stepped out.

"Bella,and Jasper" He looked at Jasper with great surprise

"Carlisle, whats going on?" He asked with a steady voice

"I came over to talk to Charlie about another murder, he wanted to know if

the victim had been killed the same way as his friend"

"And the victim was? Jasper asked

"Yes It looks like it" Dr Cullen replied and gave Jasper a look.

"They are getting closer to town then" I whispered. Carlisle starred at me.

"Bella knows everything ,about everything" Jasper said carefully

"So does she now" He said and gave Jasper a look of huge disapproval

"It was not his fault, I figured out most of it and a quilute friend told me about

the old treaty" Dr Cullen looked a bit easier now.

"Well it is quite a situation we are in" He then said

"Do you think you could find them and tell them not to hunt in the area?" I asked

"Wow she really is informed" He said and glanced at Jasper.

"Well we will see what happens" Jasper told me .I got up on the steps

"Thank you for tonight , I will see you in school"

"Yes, I will see you on Monday" He said and nodded.I opened the door and walked in

to the living room and sat down next to Charlie.

"Hey" I said
"Hey, how did it go?" He asked not very interested

"It went well,actually I ran in to some trouble" He turned to me concerned

"What kind of trouble?"

"This guy was harassing me ,but then Jasper showed up and made him regret it"

It was almost the truth.

"Are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine dad"

"So this Cullen kid really is something huh?"

"Yes"

"Any ,other guys in this town?"

"Yeah sure"

"I heard the Newton kid has a smile for you"

"Really dad we are going to talk about boys?"

"I guess not" I got up out of the couch.

"Keep that pepper spray with you Bells that Cullen kid can't always be around to help you"

"Sure ok dad" I said and got up the stairs.
