Bella's point of view
I crept through my window. I couldn't get him out of my mind. Was there really such thing as vampires? I guess there could be I mean mermaid exist why not vampires? I watched some TV to get my mind of it.
I was barely aware of what was happening on the screen my thoughts were clouded by his dazzling face. I checked my watch it was 11. Should I go over there? I think I should. I grabbed the phone book and looked for Dr. Cullen it turns out his name is Carlisle and he lives one house down.
I sighed shutting the phone book. I went upstairs and put on a yellow tank top and a pair of jeans. With that I slipped on my sandals and walked out the door. I headed over to the huge house next to ours. I knocked on the door.
Carlisle opened the door. "Dr. Cullen," I greeted curtly. "Please call me Carlisle," he told me. "Ok, Carlisle then," I replied. "So how can I help you?" he asked me. "I think you know," I replied."I don't know what you are talking about," he replied nervously. "I think you do," I replied firmly.
"Fine come in," he told me. I followed him into the living room it was huge; I sat down on the couch. "So what did you see?" he asked. "Pretty much everything," I told him. "Do you know what I am?" he asked me. "Well it's not exactly rocket science," I smirked. "Say it out loud," he told me.
"Vampire," I replied. "Are you afraid?" he asked. "no if you were attracted to my blood I'd be dead right now," I told him. "Well I would never drink human blood I am what we would call a vegetarian which means I only drink animal blood," he told me.
"Interesting what about the sun do you really burn?" I asked. "No we don't burn we just sparkle," he chuckled. "And I think sleeping in coffins is out too," I laughed. "Yep we don't sleep at all," he told me. "What else can vampires do?" I asked him. "well we have incredible speed, strength, smell, and eye site we cannot sleep some have gifts and we are immortal," he told me.
"Wow," I exclaimed. "So I have noticed your smell is different than that of a humans may I ask what you are?" he asked me. "Uh… no," I replied. "Come on it's only fair," he told me.
"Fine I'm a mermaid," I told him. "Come again?" he said awe struck. "Mermaid, you know fabled mythical creatures sitting on rocks brushing there long beautiful hair blah, blah, blah," I told him."What are mermaids like?" he asked me.
"Well we only grow tails when we touch water, we like you have super speed and eyesight and can't sleep, we also are immortal and we have powers," I told him.
"What are your powers?" he asked me. "Well my powers are to turn water into jelly or crystal, wind control, and fire," I told him. He looked shocked. "Wow," he exclaimed."I know," I chuckled.
at that moment five extremely "why do I hear a human heartbeat- oh sorry I didn't know you had company," the emo looking one said. "It's ok she knows, this is Bella Hartley she is a mermaid," Carlisle told them. "What but she doesn't have a tail?" the big one asked confused.
"Yes give the boy a gold star, I only get my tail when I'm wet," I told him. "Any Bella this is Edward, Emmet, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper," he told me. Suddenly Alice ran up to me. "Oh my god, we are going to be best friends we can get manicures, and do makeovers, and go shopping," she said excitedly. "Yay!" I exclaimed. We spent the rest of the afternoon talking. When suddenly Carlisle came up to me," Bella can I see you in my office?" he asked me. "sure," I replied. We walked to his office. Inside there were lots of paintings. "Bella I was wondering if you wanted to go hiking with me on Saturday," he told me. "Sure can't wait," I smiled. "Ok I'll pick you up at noon on Saturday," he told me. I smiled. Did he just ask me out?
