Right as I was about to get up and put my bowl in the sink, the rest of the family walked in. Alice was literally grinning from ear to ear. Emmett was, too. Rosalie and Esme looked nervous. Jasper and Carlisle kept there faces calm and impassive. They all took a seat at the table.
Carlisle cleared his throat, signaling the beginning of the conversation. "Bella, are you sure you don't have any questions?" Well, I didn't till he said that. How the heck did he hear that? They were across the yard when I said that to Emmett. When I voiced my thoughts, Carlisle cracked a smile.
"You caught that, did you?" He asked me. I nodded my head. "Would you like to know what we are, Bella?" No, Bella. It's their secret. Not mine. I shouldn't be nosy, but I hadn't had enough time to squish that growing curiousity. I nodded my head. "Well," Carlisle started, but Emmett cut him of.
"Can we cut the cra-" With a stern look from Esme he changed his wording, "Niceties? It's making me nervous," Without waiting for an answer, he turned to me. "Bella, we're vampires," Emmett said. As I looked around the table, I saw that everyone was shocked. I guess it was because Emmett was very blunt about telling their secret.
Then, I started asking questions, and lots of them. "Where are your coffins? Can you really walk on the ceiling? Do you really drink blood? " This time even Emmett was shocked. They didn't answer my questions. I hopped out of my seat, walked around the table , and stopped at Carlisle. I waved my hand in front of his face. "Hello?" He blinked and looked over at me.
"Your not scared?" Carlisle asked, dumbfounded.
"Why would I be? You won't hurt me. I know that," I stated firmly.
"Of course we wouldn't hurt you, but how did you know that?" Carlisle asked.
"Monsters don't even try to be nice," I said.
"We are monsters," Edward interjected.
I turned to him and said, "Do you try to be good? Yes. Do you want to hurt people? No. Are you monsters? No. I refuse to believe that," I said with conviction.
"Bella," This time it was Jasper, "How do you know we don't hurt people?"
"You would have hurt me and Angie as soon as we stepped out of the car the day I showed up here," I said.
"Okay," Carlisle said, "Bella, do you have any questions?"
"Will you go into shock again if I ask some more?" I asked. Emmett laughed.
"No, we won't," He said whilst smiling.
"Promise?" I had to be sure.
"Promise," He said.
The next few hours were spent with me asking questions and them answering them.
When I had finally asked all of my questions, I thanked them. "For what, sweetie?" Esme asked.
"For trusting me with your secret," I said, quietly. " I want to tell you guys a secret in return."
"What is it?" Alice asked, excited.
"I used to have these dreams. About finding a family. Not any family, though. I know that no one is perfect, but I knew this family would be as close to it as possible. I would have lots of siblings, I would be a daddy's girl. I, also, knew that I would know this family as soon as I saw them. When I got out of Angie's car, I saw them. You guys are that family," I smiled at them.
Rosalie was the first to react. She got up and hugged me. "Bella, that's so sweet."
Esme was next. She had a similar reaction to Rose. She came over and hugged me, and told me that she agreed with Rose.
Alice squealed and jumped up and down. Then, she came over and hugged me.
The guys all came over and hugged me, also.
"Bella, it's been a long day. Why don't you go to bed?" Edward asked.
"No. I'm fine," I said. Then, I yawned. Edward smirked. "Fine," I muttered and went upstairs to go to bed.
Hello, my wonderful readers. Thank you for all the reviews! I would love to have some more of those. In this story Bella is supposed to be a daddy's girl, so next chapter I should have a father daughter moment.
