Guys, I never realized how much I like writing. It seems like as soon as I finish a chapter, I immediately start on the next. It is amazing. So glad I started this, and if just one person likes the story so far this makes it all worth it.
What is something you've never tried before, but once you did it you immediately liked it?
I hope you guys like it so far, and if you do go ahead and leave comments/reviews. Then recommend!

Chapter 3:
"Because, she's in love with him," Edward said.
"In love with him?" Alice shrieked. Obvious shock clouding her face, "You mean to tell me that I was basically rubbing Esme and Carlisle's relationship in her face without even realizing it? How did I not know this? We don't keep secrets in our family, Edward. You know that."
"Yes, Alice, I know that. This is Carlisle's personal business that he probably did not want everyone in the family to know about. They used to be in a relationship, and I am sure he regrets it. There is a reason he's not shouting out to everyone about his ex-girlfriend."
Woah.
If it was possible, Alice shrieked even louder. "Ex-girlfriend?!"
"Alice. Calm down, he asked me to not say anything and out of respect for my friend and father, I chose not to. You'll have to ask him yourself if you want to know anything more about their relationship or why he chose to keep it a secret."
Alice calmed down significantly and I knew she was not upset about Carlisle having a past relationship. I think she was more upset about the fact that Carlisle had a past relationship that apparently mo one in the family knew about except Edward.
"Does Esme know?" I asked quietly.
"Esme knows that he had past relationships, yes. He did not divulge into the gory details, he respects her more than to throw his ex-girlfriends into her face."
"I cannot believe this, Edward. Everyone in the vampire community knows about The Four, and we all know that she is the ring leader of it. For her to have a relationship with Carlisle, out of everyone in the world, Carlisle? He has never had a drop of human blood in his life, and they have been known to literally bathe in it. If it was possible for a vampire to go into shock, I would be right now." If it was possible, Alice seemed out of breath.
"Again, you'll have to ask him about it yourself." My head was going back and forth as they were talking so quickly it was almost hard to keep up with.
"Wait, what is 'The Four' and what is so lethal about them?" I asked.
"It is a very long story. And with so many rumors and stories passed between people, no one knows the actual truth except for them. The short version that I've gotten from Carlisle's thoughts is that their mother was a very powerful witch, while their father was a vampire. He is known to be the first vampire in our history. No one knows for sure how he became a vampire, but it has been said that when he died as a human their mother was very distraught and would do anything to bring him back. So, she created a spell that would bring him back to life. This spell went against nature, so it had terrible consequences. The consequences being that he would become a vampire." Edward explained rapidly.
"Wait," I interfered, "He was a vampire, how did he have children?"
"Well," Edward mumbled, "He remained fertile even after death and coming back. Him and the witch went on to have four children. Rebekah and her three brothers."
What?
"Hold on," I said, "Vampires can have children?"
Edward looked towards me and said, "No, I do not believe so. This is the only time in our history that a vampire has ever been reported to have children. It must have had something to do with the fact that he was the first vampire in history."
"Maybe she did a spell, since she was a witch. If she brought him back to life then surely she could have made him fertile," Alice hypothesized.
I was starting to get a headache, this was so much information to take in.
"Okay. Continue, Edward, please." I said.
"So, Rebekah and her brothers grew up half vampire, half witch. Her mother died during the birth of her youngest brother, and it is believed that her father killed himself shortly after. Her and her brothers are known to be the oldest, most powerful supernatural beings on earth. People often refer to them as 'The Four'. They are so elusive and mysterious that it is not likely you'd ever encounter one of them in your life, but Rebekah is interested in our family. Mainly Carlisle."
"This is so crazy, Edward. Alice, did you know about this?" I asked.
"I knew about 'The Four', Bella. They have interested me for a while, so I have done a lot of research on them. I had no idea however that Carlisle dated one of them. He has a lot of explaining to do."
"So, since they are so powerful, do your powers work on them?" I questioned Alice and Edward.
Edward looked at me and smiled, "Well, Rebekah is the only one of them I have met and I cannot read her mind. Alice cannot see her future either, so I do not believe any abilities work on her. Must be a perk of being the oldest supernatural creature on Earth."
Alice rested her head on the pillow behind her and sighed, "Do not mention any of this to Carlisle, Edward. This needs to be a family meeting where we can discuss what happened today face-to-face. Fuck, this was a very long day. I am glad we are safe, but I am ready to get back to my Jasper. He is probably so worried about me."
"I am sorry Alice, and Bella. It was not your responsibility to come save me, but I am glad you guys did. Finding out that you are still alive is the most amazing thing. We have so much to discuss once we get back to Forks. Just know, I will never leave you again unless you order me away."
I leaned my head on Edwards shoulder and tried to relax. I knew he was lying to me, but this moment was just so perfect I did not want to forget it. This was one of my last moments with Edward, so I needed to enjoy it.
About an hour later Heidi came back into the room to inform us that the sun had gone down and we could leave.
Once we left the castle, there was already a car waiting for us and it took us to the same airport Alice and I had been at earlier. The only flight departing soon that could get us back to Forks was a connecting flight that would stop in Chicago first, then take us to Seattle.
As we waited for our departure time, I decided I needed a human moment and rushed off towards the bathroom. Inside, I brushed my teeth and washed my face.
When I left the bathroom, I rushed back to Edward and grabbed his hand. My stomach then took that opportunity to start growling.
Ugh, I am hungry.
Edward looked down at me and smirked, "Hungry?"
I nodded my head eagerly and we found a McDonald's at the food court. Normally, I stayed away from fast food but at this point I did not even care. I ordered and tried paying but Edward had already beaten me to it.
Jerk.
I ate my food and eventually we boarded the airplane. I did not want to ruin the moment, so for the duration of the flight Edward and I sat in a comfortable silence. At one point, I could hear Alice on the phone with Jasper and I felt a strong sense of enviousness. This was not an emotion I was used to and it made me very sad.
Why am I jealous of my best friend?
Once we got to Chicago my exhaustion took over and I knew I could not stay up for much longer. I was going to have to sleep on the trip from Chicago to Seattle. I turned to Edward, "Do you promise to talk to me before you leave again? I at least deserve that."
Edward looked down at me sadly and said, "I am never leaving you again."
Not completely satisfied with that answer, but too exhausted to care I mumbled, "Okay, goodnight. Stay with me and talk to me when I wake up please."
I did not hear his response because I had already let the darkness take over.
