I don't own Twilight.

Alright, laters peoples!

Chapter 4

When they got to their last class of the day, Bella, Emmett and Alice sat in their normal spot and readied themselves for Bella to try to communicate with Edward.

Edward, Jasper and Rosalie walked in and sat down at the table across the room from Bella, Alice and Emmett.

"Alright, here we go. Try not to listen because I don't need the distraction from you two. I need to get answers without you in my head." Bella said to the two others.

Both Emmett and Alice stuck their tongues out at her.

Is anyone there? Can you hear me? Bella thought to Edward. Edward's head snapped up. He heard the voice this time perfectly clear. But he didn't know where it was coming from. He wasn't sure if he should respond to it.

"Jazz, you still didn't hear anything in your head just now?" Edward turned to his brother, and asked.

"No." Jasper replied.

"Ok, should I see if I can respond to it? Even if I am crazy?" Edward said.

"Why not? I don't think it could do any harm." Jasper said.

"Just be careful. You don't know what you're dealing with yet." Rosalie said. The tone of her voice sounded wary.

Edward nodded.

Who are you? Edward sent out to whoever was trying to contact him.

Bella didn't look directly at him. She had had enough practice over the past three hundred years to not be that obvious.

I am a student in the history class. But I don't think I should jump in and tell you who I am just yet. Bella thought to him.

Well, you obviously have a good idea of who I am, so shouldn't I at least know who I'm talking to. Edward thought.

Bella considered that. She did know who she was talking to, but he didn't. She owed him at least that courtesy.

Well, as long as you don't go running out of the room at anything I tell you; yes I'll tell you who I am. Bella thought.

You have my word. Edward thought.

Ok. My name is Bella. She thought.

Edward turned his head sharply and looked straight at Bella.

She glanced up at him, then turned her head back to the left.

I don't want it to be that obvious that I'm 'talking' to you. So try not to stare the whole time. Bella thought.

Ok. So I guess you know my name already. Edward thought.

Yes, I do. You're Edward. Can your sister or brother hear me? Bella thought.

Edward loved the way his name sounded coming from her. Even if it was in her head.

No. They haven't seemed to have been able to hear anything of what I've heard from you. Edward thought.

What are you? I know you have to be something, or else you wouldn't be able to hear me. And I saw your eyes yesterday. So something has to be different about you. Bella thought.

Well are you going to tell me what you are? Edward thought back to her.

As long as you don't freak out about it. If people hear what I am, they would usually jump up and run out screaming. For some reason, I don't think I could handle that kind of reaction from you. And I would greatly appreciate you keeping my secret. And I promise to keep yours. Bella thought to him. And it was true. She had dealt with some people who had found out what they were, but she didn't like the fact that he could be disgusted by what she was. She wasn't sure why.

Deal. Edward thought without even thinking. He felt like he should though. She was so willing to keep his secret. So why not. I would like to think that I wouldn't freak out. You couldn't be anything horrific or evil. But I would like to ask the same of you. People tend to shy away at the mention of what I am. Edward thought.

I don't think you could be worse than what I am, so you have MY word on that. Bella thought.

And you have mine again. I guess I'll start then. I feel like I can trust you with a secret that has to do with more than just me. So… I'm a witch… That's why my eyes changed. They do that when I use my powers. Now what about you? Edward thought to her.

Bella looked up at him with a gaping mouth. She knew they hadn't come across anything that had to do with witches. Nothing even close. But there had been beliefs that vampires used to be witches. But she knew that none of her family had been witches so she didn't think those beliefs had any standing.

Now she just had to tell him what she was. That was going to be hard for her. But she knew she had to. She would never go back on her word.

Wow… You may need to explain some more about that later. Ok, I guess it's my turn. Please, please, please, don't freak out. Most people don't consider me to be human. Which in a way, I'm not. I'm… She had to pause and take a deep breath to herself. I'm a vampire. She thought to him.

She saw his eyes go wide.

Edward was taken back by this. He never really believed before that vampires existed. But now to be looking into the eyes of one, and hearing her thoughts, could only make it true. The only other thing would be to see her fangs exposed. That would definitely make him a believer. But there was something in her eyes though that he thought he could trust without reservation.

Please stay with me! I'm not a killer or anything. I'm not like what's in the history books or movies. I don't kill people. Not unless there is a huge threat to my family… Are you ok? Bella thought. She was afraid that he was going to run.

I'm not going to run. I just have to let this sink in. Wow… a vampire? I had no idea that you really existed. You really don't look like a vampire. You look like a normal everyday person. Edward thought to her.

I will explain more later. But class is about to start, so can we try to get together and talk about this? I won't hurt you, I promise that I will never hurt you or let anything or anyone else hurt you. I just want to figure out what's going on. Maybe between the two of us, we can come up with something. What do you think? Bella thought.

Edward ran it through his mind. He had a feeling that he could trust her not to hurt him. And he wanted answers just about as much as she seemed to.

Ok. How would this afternoon be? I don't have any plans today. Edward thought.

Today sounds great. I don't want to alarm you but, what if we went to my house and talked there? I don't know if this is something you want to talk about around your brother and sister. Bella thought. She was looking into his eyes when she said this.

He could tell from her eyes that she was telling the truth. He knew he didn't have anything to worry about, being alone with her.

Ok. Does after school work for you? Edward thought.

That would be fine. You can follow me to my house. Bella thought to him.

Ms. Harmon came in and started class.

During class, Edward and Bella would unconsciously think something to themselves. And not realize that the other was hearing them.

I think I may fall asleep listening to this teacher. Edward thought at one point during class.

I'll throw something at you if you end up falling asleep. Bella laughed in her head.

Thanks, but I may slip into a coma if she keeps on going like this. Edward thought back to her. Then laughed in his head.

Bella let out an audible giggle when she heard what he thought.

Some people turned to look at her to see what was so funny. She bit her lip trying to hold back the laughs.

Shut up. You're gonna get me into trouble then I'll be sent to the insane asylum because I told them I was laughing at the voice in my head. Bella thought to Edward jokingly.

Then Edward let out a small laugh too. But less people turned to see what was funny this time.

It went this way for most of the time they were in class.

When class was finally over, everyone else jumped up and gathered their things to leave. Bella turned and sat on the table, where she could talk to Emmett and Alice.

"Ok, he's going to come back to the house so we can talk and I can get some answers out of him. So don't panic. He's not going to kill me or anything." Bella said.

"Do you even know what he is? This could be a setup to kill you." Emmett said.

"Trust me; I'll be able to tell if it comes to something like that. But it's not going to. There is nothing that I'm sensing from him that says that he would ever try to hurt me." Bella said.

They're vampires too, aren't they? I can tell whatever you're talking about has to do with what we're about to go do. Edward thought to Bella. He noticed that she was trying to reason with Alice and Emmett about this.

Bella blocked Alice and Emmett's minds out and responded to him.

Yeah, they are. I'll explain it all later. They're just concerned. I told them not to worry about anything. Bella thought to him.

Edward took that in. This could turn out to be bigger than he thought.

Tell them I promise I won't hurt you. I guess that's what they're worried about. Edward thought.

They'll deal with it. It's my choice to do this. You might want to tell your sister and brother where you're going. I don't want anyone in your family freaking out because they don't know where you are, and you're in a new town. Bella thought.

I will. And they have Rosalie's car and I've got mine. So it shouldn't be a problem. Edward thought.

"You don't know that. And I guess you're not going to tell us what's going on yet." Alice said.

"Just trust me. Everything is going to be fine." Bella said.

"Just 'call' us if anything goes wrong." Emmett said.

"I will. I'll see you guys later…" Bella paused because she could hear what they were thinking, "Stop thinking that way."

Alice threw up her hands in defeat. She knew she'd never win an argument with Bella about anything. So she decided to stop while she was ahead.

I'll meet you outside. You can follow me to my house. Bella thought to Edward.

How will I find you? Edward thought to her.

Bella turned to look at him.

Trust me, you'll know. Bella thought with a laugh.

Edward smiled. She was being feisty with him. Then he turned to Jasper and Rosalie to let them know what was going to happen.

"I'll see you guys later at home. I'm going to go get some answers from this girl about what is going on and why I can hear her." Edward said.

"Are you sure you should go alone? You know I'll go with you." Jasper said.

"Jazz, there's nothing to worry about. Just head home and I'll tell you about it later on." Edward said.

"If you're sure. Let's get out of here then." Rosalie said with a very worried look on her face. She hated to let him go and do something like this on his own when he had no clue if there was danger.

Rosalie and Jasper stood and walked out of the classroom to go to their car.

Edward gathered the rest of his things and left after Rosalie and Jasper.

"Em, Alice, just let me handle this for right now. You both know I am completely capable of taking care of myself" Bella said with a slight smirk.

"Ok, fine." Emmett said.

Bella turned and left the classroom.

A sleek, black Jaguar screeched to a stop behind Edward's Aston Martin. The passenger window rolled down and he saw that it was Bella inside.

Wow. Edward thought.

Try to keep up if you can. Bella thought to him with a smile.

Edward jumped in his car and followed her out of the parking lot with a smile on his face. This could be an interesting adventure.

So, what's coming? Any thoughts, suggestions, anything. (Don't even think about it Lola)
