Chapter 8: Meet the…..BROTHER?!
"Big Brother?!" I asked incredulously. All heads in the room snapped to attention and looked at me.
"It is you!" Nathan exclaimed. He rushed toward me, picking me up and spinning me around. Everyone was quiet except for me and Nathan, laughing in delight.
"Wait a minute here," Emmett said, holding his hands up like he was stopping traffic. He stopped Nathan from spinning me, and Nathan let go of me, setting me down on the floor. "You have a brother and you didn't tell us?!"
I laughed. "He's not really my brother Emmett. I mean, look at us! Do we look alike to you?"
I stood next to Nathan, who wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I heard Edward growl in the background and Nathan heard it too. He dropped the arm around my shoulders fast, like I burned him and Nathan scooted away from me, until he was right next to Tori.
"Explain," Rosaline said simply.
"Nathan used to go to school with me in Phoenix. We lived like a block away from each other and we became fast friends at school. Of course, Nathan's a year older than me, so that caused quite a problem with Renée. But in the end, his charm won her over and we became good friends," I explained happily.
I walked to Edward and held his hand before turning to face everyone else in the room. Crystal smiled at me before turning to Tori.
"Is something wrong?" Crystal asked.
Tori shook her head. "No, nothing's wrong. We're just about to start a late dinner. Alicia's cooking tonight."
"Why are you a vampire Izzie?" Nathan blurted out. "Witches can't be turned, or at least they're not supposed to be turned."
Everybody paused. "He is right," Tori admitted. "There's no history about a witch turning to be a vampire. There's just no need for the witch to be turned because she already has eternal life."
"No one told me about me being a witch," I argued. "So I don't know anything about your history. Crystal told me who I am just today."
"Come here," Crystal ordered me. "Stand in front of me." I hesitantly obeyed her.
She took both of my hands into hers and instantly warmth filled me from the inside out. I sighed, savoring the heat that I haven't felt in quite a while. I closed my eyes and breathed in deeply. Our hands were hot, and the heat inside of me kept growing, making me gasp for air. The heat was almost unbearable. I heard someone rushing toward us, but I heard a loud crash, like the person ran into something hard. The person began snarling and I faintly recognized the noise as Edward. All of a sudden, I felt something pounding in my chest and an unfamiliar weight in my body. I continued to gasp for air.
She released m hands and stepped away. The warmth died down a bit, but I still felt it in my body. I felt hot, like I was burning. My knees collapsed and before I knew it, someone had caught me, holding me close to their body. I breathed in Edward delicious scent and instantly felt a little calmer.
"You're warm," Edward said, astonished, "and your heart, it's beating again."
My eyes snapped open. I placed a hand over the place where my heart would be and felt it flutter underneath my hand. My head shot up and I searched the room for Crystal. I found her sitting on the couch, looking tired, with Tori sitting next to her. As if she felt my gaze, Crystal looked up and smiled at me.
"I guess I over did things just a bit," she said faintly.
"I'll take her back to the main house, Nathan," Tori said, looking at him.
Nathan nodded in agreement. "I'll give the Cullens and Izzie a tour of the island."
Edward had steadied me, after my slight fall and was holding me against his chest. When Nathan finished his sentenced, I felt a wave of exhaustion roll over me, and my knees buckled again. Edward caught me again before I slammed into the ground.
"Or not," Nathan corrected himself. "Seems like Izzie's a little dizzy."
"She just got changed back. She hasn't eaten anything or slept in days. What do you think she'll be like? Bouncing off the walls?" Tori said sarcastically.
"I thought you're supposed to be at the main house by now?" Nathan said accusingly. "Lady Crystal's was getting tried of hearing you talk."
Tori glared at him. Then a flash of blue light occurred, waking me up slightly, and then the light disappeared. The couch was empty of its last occupants.
"Why haven't I had a vision yet?" Alice spat out hotly. I looked at her shocked. Her were eyebrows furrowed, and her lips were pulled into a heartbreaking pout.
"Why can't I hear the thoughts of anyone?" Edward fired out, right after Alice.
Nathan's eyebrows flew up. "Wait, you guys have - -"
"And why can't I feel anyone's emotions?" Jasper said, astonished.
"Uh-," Nathan said looking trapped. "I'll explain everything later, I promise, but right now, I think Izzie's a little tired right now. I suspect you'll want to put her in a room to sleep."
He was right. I could barely hear his words and could hardly keep my eyes open. I was leaning heavily on Edward to keep myself upright. I couldn't even form a single coherent thought. I felt Edward pick me up in his arms, holding me close to his chest.
I must have fallen asleep in his arms because when I woke up again, I felt him tucking me into bed. I opened my eyes slightly to find the room bathed in moonlight. The light was somewhat hurting my eyes and I moaned at the offending light.
"It's too bright up here," I heard Nathan say softly. "You need some curtains…Tori!"
I saw a flash of radiant blue light and groaned at the sudden light.
"Could you shut off the light?" I said sleepily. "It's getting annoying." I heard another voice enter the room.
"You called?" Tori said.
"Could you please make curtains for this room, Tori?" Nathan asked. "It's a little bright for sleeping."
"Sure no problem," she said in reply.
I opened my eyes to find the glass wall of the room, glowing softly. A second later, dark blue curtains appeared, immersing the room in total darkness. I sighed my approval.
"Edward?" I reached out for him and felt him take my hand. I pulled on his hand slightly and felt him settle on the bed next to, lying on top of the sheets.
"Stay," I mumbled my words hardly coherent.
"Sleep, my love," he crooned is my ear, like a soft caress.
I turned my heart into his chest, and breathed in his luscious scent. Edward began humming my lullaby and I fell asleep while listening to his love in the simple song.

A/N: I don't have the next chapter written out yet, but I do know for sure that it'll be more than 2,000 words. So you all can expect a much longer chapter. Here's the catch though: it's gonna take me a long time to type it up, I might not be able to finish it in a week, but it'll be up before Christmas. So expect the next chapter in 2 or 3 weeks.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
