Chapter 3 - Secrets and Love

"What is it Alice?" I asked her. I could tell by the look on her face this was not going to good. She looked so worried, Ali never worried.

"Do you remember the day I found you, early that day you met a man in front of a flower shop. Do you remember that?" she asked me.

I was confused, why did this matter? "Yes, I remember. Ali what is all this about?" I asked her. She wouldn't look me in the eye for the longest time. "Mary Alice what is going on?" I begged.

"We will be running into him once again. And this time it will be very different" she told me without looking at me.

"I don't understand" I whispered. She looked at me then, "I know but I can not say anymore than that. I thought I should prepare you, but I can not say another word without possibly changing the future" she answered "Come on lets go hunt."

With that we jumped from the third story window and took off into the forest.

I had forgotten how beautiful the forest was here in the countryside. When I was human I had lived right outside Paris near the forest. I spent very much time within these trees as a child, I knew them well.

I was on my third kill when I caught the scent of another vampire, I became defensive. Where was Alice? shouldn't see have seen this?

"Alice?" I hissed but there was no answer.

That was when he came into view, he was glorious. He was handsome with lush blonde hair, he seemed very much the gentlemen in his time.

"Hello" he said to me, he did not seem to be a threat. I straightened up, "hey, who are you?"

He smiled, "I am Carlisle Cullen, I am sorry to have intruded on your territory."

I giggled, "Carlisle there is no need for apologies , I do not own this forest. By the way I am Isabella Swan. Call me Bella tho."

"of course, I noticed your eye color is the same as mine. How did you come to hunt animals?"

"my creator and sister, Alice, she has always hunted animals since her transformation. So I followed her lead you could say. If you wish you may accompany me to my home, I live at Swan Lake."

"I would I like that, would you mind my sons coming as well?" he asked.

"Of course not, it would be nice to meet another family, follow my scent to the house. I look forward to meeting your family" I told him before leaving.

When I got back to the house I found Alice waiting for me. "what was that Alice? How did you not see them coming?" I asked her.

"I do miss things Isabella" she answered "don't you have something to tell me?"

Oh yeah, "We will be having company" just as I finished the door bell rang.

I had stayed behind as the others hunted, I just wasn't in the mood. Just as I sat down at the piano, Emmett came barging in.

"Get dressed Eddie, we are going over to a lady's house" he said wiggling his eyebrow suggestively.

"I am not going" I told him, as Carlisle came in. "Edward I believe it is very important that we all go, this is another family like ours" Carlisle told me. I locked eyes with him, Trust me he thought. I nodded, he was hiding something I could tell he was blocking me from seeing something. Before I knew it Emmett had thrown me into the car and was speeding off to this vampires house.

Emmett had to play like a big kid and ring the doorbell a hundred times before she could answer. When the door opened I was about to apologize for my brothers idiocy when I saw her. It was the girl from the flower shop, Isabella Swan. But how? She was human last time I saw her, I left to keep her human and yet…

"Hello, welcome to Swan Lake. I am Bella come on in" she greeted us with the voice of an angel.

When I opened the door I was taken back at first, it was him, Edward. The guy from the Flower shop Ali was talking about earlier. I could hear her giggle from the other room, that was my que to speak. "Hello, welcome to Swan Lake. I am Bella come on in" I greeted them. I led them to the sitting room. "This is my sister and creator Alice Brandon" I gestured to Ali. "Hi" was all she said, he eyes never leaving the blonde with all the scars.

"thank you for inviting us to your home Bella" Carlisle said "this is my wife Esme" he gestured to the woman at this side "And my daughter Rosalie" he pointed to the blonde girl next the big bulky man "And my sons, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward."

So the blonde Ali was fixated on was Jasper, and Mr. Muscles was Emmett. And now I couldn't deny that he was Edward, the bronze haired god I thought of so often. He was the face I pictured during my transformation, when I wanted to try and escape the pain.

"hey" I greeted them, someone cleared their throat, when I turned it was Edward.

"Do you remember me?" he asked me, I smiled how could not, but he remembered me. "Yes" I moved to sit down "though my human eyes could never have done you justice."

"Edward, hunny this is the human girl you told me about?" Esme asked him. I blushed, he had talked to his mother about me.

"Esme really? Ugh, yes this is the same girl" he turned back to me "if you do not mind me asking how did this happen to you?"

I sighed I hated talking about this. "It is not a pleasant story" I began as I looked into his eyes, they begged me to go on "I was walking home one night with my friend when we where cornered by these men. At first we thought they wanted our money, but they wanted so much more. They raped and killed Annabelle right in front of me. I fought them, I fought hard but I wasn't strong enough to win and I knew that. But I had to try, that was when Alice found me. She scared them off and saved my life" I finished.

"I am so sorry" he began, but I stopped him. "no not be sorry. Alice gave me a new life, a sister, and a best friend. I love her and I wouldn't change anything" I told him.
