"You're a vampire,"
My stomach twisted into tiny knots as they said this, I was waiting to faint or pass out or find a hint of darkness in my eyes to mean I blanked out. But no I stood there in disbelief my mouth in a shaped of an O. I was to shock to say anything but I managed to choke out, "Wh...What, a vampire?"
Were they a bunch of idiots or something? I mean even one of them is a doctor. Waiting to maybe run out the door but somehow my feet felt like they were plastered, attached to the floor. "I don't believe you, I mean a vampire? Come on I'm not that much of an idiot," Carlisle was about to speak but Emmett gave out a loud booming laughter that got my mind off of what they called me. Everyone looked at him and Edward, the one with the bronze like colored hair, gave out a chuckle, almost like a melody.
Alice and Rosalie threw him a look and Alice was the first to speak after the outburst,
"Yes Schuyler, you are a vampire you will look and stay at that age for a long time. The night of the attack a very dangerous vampire, named Victoria, bit you..."
"Do I drink um...blood?" I interrupted, remembering a play in our school's theatre, Dracula
"Yes you have to drink animal blood and you will continue to stay with us if you want," Carlisle continued
"There is also something a vampire receives once bitten," waiting for him to continue he spoke to Edward, "Can you show an example please, Edward?" He looked up and looked right in my eyes, that made me feel more nervous, anxious of what he was going to do maybe fly or turn into a bat? Could I fly or turn into a bat?
He gave out a small melody of laughter, "No we can't turn into bats,"
Shocked, and excited I yelled out unintentionally, "You can read my mind, oh my gosh that is so cool, could I do that or do I have a power, do I have super strength? Did you guess what I was thinking? This is really cool!" Emmett once again gave out more booming laughter enough to knock anyone off their feet,
"Hold on squirt! Breathe, we can swim and run really fast and our skin is too cold for a human touch I'm the one with the super strength," he gave me one smile and I knew in the future he was going to be like a big brother I never had. I returned the smile and Alice delighted that I was smiling and said, "Are you hungry?"
I knew I was but I said, "Um a little but...I'm curious what can you guys do?"
Alice replied in a lovely voice and said, "I could see the future but sometimes it changes,"
I looked at Jasper, and shyly he replied, "I can control emotions of a group of people and not to mention vampires,"
"I show love and care for my family and others," Esme said in a sweet voice looking into my eyes sweetly making me feel like she is my mother.
Carlisle was next and he replied, "I show compassion and devotedness to others as well my family, "
The last final one was Rosalie waiting for her to say something, but Emmett told me, "Beauty, just beauty, and her love for me," he joked giving her a hug but she stared at me and actually smiled, her smile was radiant and caught me by surprise! I smiled back trying not to be rude; Edward got up and was about to leave when Emmett explained to me, "He is leaving to Bella his human girlfriend,"
"Oh," I nodded he said his goodbyes and left, I remembered my sister and shouted out jumping to my feet," Veronica! Is she okay can I see her now?"
Alice put her hand on my shoulder and looked at me with big sympathetic eyes, "Not right now let's go hunting,"
Before I left she handed me a mirror, what is this for? Is there bruises, scars, cuts, I was anxious to find out, I slowly, carefully take the mirror, not looking at it, but looking cautiously into Alice' eyes. She smiled reassuring it was alright, her eyes, her mouth, it gave me comfort, and confident. I gasped at what I saw, no scars, no cuts, I looked as if I was a goddess, I look at my eyes, but it was no longer green. My eyes were shining rubies.
Bella's POV
I turned to look at the small body lying next to me, stroking her hair, listening to the soft snoring. I pulled off the sheets and started walking towards the stairs and tripped my arms reached out to catch my fall. I got up walked down the stairs quietly. Charlie sat on the couch watching a baseball game excitements sparked into his eyes I sat beside him, watching the game, only if he saw Edward play baseball. I smiled when he interrupted my thought, when a commercial played, "How is she doing?"
"Oh great, she is just sleeping upstairs,"
"Oh," he grunted
"How long will she be um staying with us?" he asked
"Until they have a room ready for her"
"Oh I thought they would have one ready by now,"
"No they don't" not liking his tone in his voice
"Well, I'm going to bed," I looked at him straight in his eyes, "Goodnight!"
"Goodnight Bells!"
I walked once again slowly up the stairs stifling a yawn. I walked in on Edward looking straight down on Veronica his hand stoking her hair, smiling. He looked up and gave me a crooked smile, my favorite. I walked straight into his arms, as he purred softly against my head. I pulled back talking in a whisper, "Poor thing, what happened to the sister?"
"She is hunting with Alice," chuckling a little
"What?" I was curious of why he was laughing
"You know how bears are Emmett's favorites?"
"Yes," urging him to go on
"Well he found one but Schuyler took it down faster then he could, and knocked him over,"
I thought of how big Emmett is and comparing him with a skinny, blonde fourteen year old girl. I started laughing along with Edward's soft musical voice. He looked up and said, "You know it is her first but last quarter for Schuyler, and it is our last year in high school."
I thought of Victoria, graduation, Jacob, and Carlisle's promise. I smiled and kissed him gently on the cheek.
"Well I'm tired, are you going to stay?"
He smiled and replied, "Always."
