Edward kneeled in silence as he tried to tend to her wounds. The question he had asked earlier was still unanswered but he didn't push it. Anyway, he was a complete stranger. After a while in silence, most of the shallow cuts had already stopped bleeding but the other, much deeper cuts, were being very persistent.

"Don't tell him I do this," she whispered, breaking the long silence, "He would be furious." She continued to stare at her knees.

Edward let go of the towel and wrapped his pale fingers around her chin to make her eyes meet his, "I will not tell him but you must explain what your intentions were." He said softly glad for the conversation he didn't want to start. He stared into the deep blue orbs in front of him being mesmerized by their beauty. She softly took her face out of his cupped hands and dug through a drawer next to her. She brought out a cream and squeezed its contents into the other hand. She removed the towel and smeared it on the open cuts. The medicine seemed to make every cut vanish instantly, only leaving a blood mark from where the deep cuts once laid.

"I'm different, Edward." She put the cream away, but Edward could not take his eyes of the "magic" that happened before his eyes. "Jaiden does not understand that." His eyes were torn away when the girl just stood up and started to clean the bloody scene around her. He looked at her, eyeing her smooth movements as she moved around the room fluidly. She was so graceful and beautiful.

"Can you look the other way while I change clothes?" She said not even looking at Edward.

"Would you rather I leave the room?"

"No, its okay. I'll be quick." She rummaged through her clothes and began unzipping the jeans she was wearing. His eyes remained to the tan midriff that was exposed. His mind told him to look away but his body told him otherwise. She slipped out of her jeans and threw them to a corner of the room. She began to take off her shirt and threw that to the same corner. She was not bent over looking through her closet for another pair of clothes in a thin pair of underwear and a blue bra. Her tan skin was enchanting Edward. I've never seen a girl so beautiful. he thought. Bella! he reminded himself. A sharp pain hit his 'heart'. It hurt him just thinking about her. How could he just leave her in the forest alone, to cry over him?

He looked at the wall opposite to the young girl, feeling guilty for looking at another person that was not Bella. A while past and he heard the girl slipping into some clothes and foot steps coming closer.

"You could look now." She said sitting on the bed next to the door. "by the way, my name is Charlotte." she smiled and motioned for Edward to come sit next to her.

"You did not bite a human?" he said, cutting to the details.

"Thanks for the name, but, no, I have...never...tasted human blood." she raised her head to the ceiling, admiring the woodwork. Edward was confused, how could a vampire NEVER taste human blood?

"Why don't you tell him?" he walked over to the bed and sat down.

"He would get more upset." she said flatly.

"Why?" curiosity kept striking him again. This was the weirdest vampire he had ever seen.

"He was the one that made me." She paused and looked into Edwards golden eyes, "He hates me for not being able to understand me. He doesn't know how I work and is even more upset at me for getting hurt so often." She smiled at him and looked back up to the ceiling. "if you don't mind me asking, why are you here? I mean, in my room. Did you smell my blood out side, and what is your name?" she looked at her hands and started to fiddle with her finger tips.

"Edward." he said calmly, "and no I didn't smell it outside, I just felt bad for how he treated you. I know how it's like." He shoved the memory of that day aside. "I didn't know you would take it to extremes like that." he paused again in the silence. She was not going to speak so he just asked the question he was so eager to find the answer to, "Why did you do that to yourself?" he brought it up again for about the second time.

"I would not have killed myself. I'm not stupid. I can only die with a puncture to the heart. Not of blood loss." What?!? Edward thought "But I make myself bleed because... the smell...it calms me." She looked to the window, looking at the forest illuminated by the bright sun.

Edward let the subject slid. He now knew what the smell did. It calmed him. The sweet fragrance made him feel relaxed. He knew what the feeling was so he let it slide. "May I ask you a few questions? I hope you're not offended by them."

Charlotte was snapped out of her trance and looked into the golden eyes. "Sure, but if I don't like the question, I wont answer it. okay?" she smiled a brilliant smile. Edward loved the smile. She looked so happy and calm, not hiding anything. She was confident.

"Of course." He thought for a moment, trying to find the best way to ask his question "What are you?" he said, lacking another way to say it.

Her confident smile vanished in a heart beat and she looked at him with a sad face.

Way to go, dumbass!! Kade came in. guilt washed over Edward like a tidal wave.

Weak point, Edward!! Change subject now!! He thought, but Charlotte opened her mouth to respond.

Authors note: Cliff hanger!!!!!! Woot!!!! I love them!!!
