Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight!
But I'm sure everyone else besides me wishes they did!
A/N: I love my reviewers. They make me happy. Here's a happy, update before Thanksgiving!
And to explain my fear of large, pointy wooden objects: I was a Buffy and Dracula fan long before I ever even heard of Twilight. So my first idea of Vampires is "no sun" and "turns into pretty dust with contact with pointy and wooden stakes through heart". You won't see that in my Twilight fanfictions, but in my authors notes...
Hope you all didn't want to kill me because of the extremely unfair cliffhanger.
I'm sorry.
Too bad. It'll happen again.
And I just noticed I forgot to put the 'I' in front of the 'won't let you murder it' from Time is Running Out lyrics.
I fail at life, I know.
This is a quick update! And it's short! It's to fill you in on Edward and such. I may post another chapter later, depends on how I feel. There's a 50/50 chance... But don't hold your breath.
And I love you reviewers, you are honestly pure inspiration.
And you guys make me laugh after horrid days of slaving for family over kitchen stoves!
Thank you.
Anyway, enjoy this chapter!

"How the h-" Edward said, glaring at Alice as she stood up and yanked him onto his feet.
"Where were you?" Alice replied, venom laced her words, "Do you know what you did to everyone? To Esme?!"
At the end of 'Esme', Alice's voice hit a high, and screeched, like a diamond on glass. Had a human been in the room, it would have sounded fairly faint, non-existent, but to the vampires in the other room, it was a screech.
Not even a second later, the rest of the Cullen family stood in the main area, and Edward was soon wondering when that plant had been put in the corner of the room there, not wanting to look into the faces of the vampires that stood in front of him.
"Edward, talk to me," Carlisle asked in his mind, everyone else thoughts were blocked out, too angry, too humor-filled, too questioning, too vengeful. Edward gave a quick nod to Carlisle.
"My study?"
Another nod from Edward. Carlisle gave Esme a kiss on the cheek before turning and walking to his study She gave him a smile, and then everyone turned their attention towards Edward. He tried to walk past Rosalie, who looked like she could snap his neck if he was human. He succeed and walked past Emmett, who was glaring along with Alice. Jasper looked emotionless and Esme worried. He tried to not meet the eyes, only to be drawn to them once he heard them thinking about someone named Bella.
Then he saw blood red eyes laced with curiosity.
No.

"I take it you saw Bella?" Carlisle thought as he sat down in his study. Edward nodded as he sunk into the leather chair across from Carlisle.
"Edward, please don't beat yourself up over this."
"And how am I not supposed to, Carlisle? I thought I killed her, that was at least bearable. But I changed her. She's doomed to an eternity of this! All because of my selfishness."
"She seems to be okay with it, but I haven't really talked to her about it. She's started control and is rather good at focusing her mind on things. But she hasn't been around for awhile, so I'm not certain. And neither have you, Edward. Would you mind telling me where you've been?"
"I went as far as California
before turning around."
"California?"
"I traveled at night during sunny days."
"Like a 'real' monster. Were you purposely trying to delude yourself into that?"
"I needed time to clear my head. I wasn't sure what to do, Carlisle. I honestly just needed to think and I did that. So I came back since I'm done thinking."
"Next time..."
"There won't be a next time."
"I hope you are right, Edward. Anyway, Edward, I need you to tell me what happened."
Edward let out a deep breath and put a hand in front of closed eyes. He could feel Carlisle's own pair staring him down. He moved his hand and opened his eyes, and looked up at the ceiling.
"She walked into the classroom and she walked past me. It was an attack, all of my senses were directed towards her, I felt frozen. I felt the urge to kill her. I couldn't control it, I felt like half of me wanted to kill her and the other half didn't. She flipped her hair a couple times and it took every fiber of my self-control to stop her. Then at the end, I was gone. Then I saw her again and she was as good as dead. Then I tried to drain her clean and quick and painless, and thought I did, but I was interrupted. And now look what is going on," He looked at Carlisle, "She's still here."
"She can't remember much of her human life. She may never remember."
"It can be a blessing or a curse."
"You need to talk to her, Edward. Make things right."
"Will she forgive me. That's the question."
"It depends, Edwards. Will you forgive yourself?"
And Edward looked at Carlisle and didn't know the answer.

A/N: Told you it was short! Anyway, I thought I'd post another chapter since I didn't want to post this in Chapter Eight! This is basically boring and a filler and ew! It's so short it pains me.
Good stories come from happy authors! Happy authors come from good reviews!
(Flames will be used to light my fire!)
Thanks for reading once again!
