I walked out of the hospital doors, flustered about what had just happened. Did he really come to see me? I stopped in my tracks with realization. I didn't have my truck. I sighed and fished for my cellphone out of my backpack when someone whistled. My head shot up.
"You wanna ride?" Alice and Rosalie sat in a giant blood red Jeep Wrangler. I walked up to it in awe. "This is yours?" Alice smiled but Rosalie just scoffed.
"No it's Em's so are you going to get in or what?" I jumped (and I mean i litterally had to jump) in the back seat and shut the door. I figured that if I was going to press the issue that I better do it sooner rather then later.
"Are you guys going to explain more about, this thing or what?" I didn't mean for it to sound rude but I needed answers, I was somehow involved.
"That depends..." Alice trailed off suggestivly.
"Depends on what?"
"Depends on wheather you try to jump out of the car again." Rosalie snapped. She seemed to be in a bad mood, or maybe she was always like that. Alice seemed to ignore her sourness.
"So? No more suicide attempts in exchange for a ride home and an explanation on the whole Cullen clan's deal?" I nodded and she smiled happily.
"Lovely!"

The rest of the ride was silent, Rosalie who was driving was tense. Extremely tense, I could tell that she didn't seem too fond of me, and I didn't like her much either... Alice on the other hand acted as if we were best friends forever. I smiled at her shyly when she would periodically glance back at me from the passenger seat.

Rosalie drove the jeep down the main part of town and once we passed the bridge at the Calawah River the houses grew far apart, and bigger. And once we were past all of the houses we entered the misty forest. I was trying to decide whether to ask be patient, when she abruptly turned onto an unpaved road. It was unmarked, barely visible among the ferns. The forest ingulfed both sides, leaving the road ahead only seen for a few meters as it twisted, serpentlike, around the ancient trees.

And then, after a few miles, there was some thinning of the woods, and we were suddenly in a small meadow, or was it really a lawn? The darkness of the forest didn't ease, though for there were six older cedars that shaded an entire acre with their vast fans of branches. The trees held their protecting shadows right up to the housethathad rose on them, making useless of the deep porch that wrapped around the first story.

What ever I was thinking, this wasn't it. the beautiful house was timeless, graceful, and had to be over a hundred years old. The wonderous three story house was a soft white color and well porportioned.

"Holy crow..." I mumbled under my breath, I was sure that noone heard me, but then why did Alice giggle?

"Okay, what would you like to know?" Alice asked politley. We sat on a white couch in a large spacey room, it could of been three or four rooms that had the walls knocked down to make one wide open area.

"I, I guess I'd like to know, why....Edward..."

"Attacked you?" Alice finished, I nodded.

"Well, everything has a scent, and, you know how certain smells will apeall to you? Like a fish versus a...hamburger?" I nodded again. "Well, to a vampire, " she winced at the word. "it's like your dying of hunger, and humans are...steak, or more of a sweet chocolate...Though that doesn't really compare.....okay my family is....different, even from our own kind. We refrain from...eating humans. We hunt animals, it's like someone eating tofu, your full but never quit satisfied. To Edward, you're sort of like a juicy steak to a starving dog." I shivered. Alice sighed and looked at me.

"Edward is a good person, he meant you know harm, I could see that, he just...couldn't handle the 's just harder for different...vampires. But he won't hurt you Bella, I know it."

"You're have too much faith in me Alice." I heard someone mummble from the staircase. Edward sat on the bottom stair, gazing out into nothing. Unthinkingly I scooched away just enough to be noticed. "I'm sorry I frightened you." He said a little louder, he looked up at me and I noticed his eyes.

"Did you get contacts?" I asked stupidly. He smirked and shook his head.

"No, these are our eyes after we...hunt." I could feel the heat escaping my body as the goose bumps rose on my arms.

"Oh." I looked around trying to find something to focus mt attention on before another question poped in my head. "What were you thinking right before I fell out of the car?"

"You mean jumped?" Rosalie chimed in, I blushed, I had forgotten she was there, she was so quiet, still, deadly. i nodded and Alice answered.

"I can see the future, it changes with the deicions people make but I can see it, I was about a thousand different ways you planned to escape." She smiled "You know your not that creative." I laughed alittle.

"Yeah I know, can all, vampires see the future?"

"Oh, no, thats just me. But Jasper can feel emotions, he can alter them too, it's subtle but it helps with a house full of ravenous vampires, and Edward can read minds."

"Except hers." He mummbled again. He couldn't read my mind? Why was I different? Why am I always different? I shook my head of my sad thoughts and looked towards the kitchen where some noise was made. Emmett and a carmel haired beautiful woman. She smiled sweetly at me and all I could do was return it. Emmett smiled,

"Bella!" he yelled before glancing towards Rosalie. "Rosie....." he mumbled as if he was a dog who knew he peed on the carpet and wasn't supposed to. She staired daggers at him until he started up the stairs. "See you later Bella." He mumbled as Rosalie crossed the room and followed with inhuman speed. She scoffed at his comment and dissapeared up the staircase. There was silence for a moment before Edward finally turned to me.

"Well I think that went as well as expected!"
