this is probably the shortest chapter i will ever write. Sorry. I just wanted to update really quick so you all dont feel like i have abandoned you guys. Not much really in this chapter. Once again sorry for it taking so long to update and this chapter being so short. I promise the rest will be longer. :) please review! 3 Happy mothers day!


Once again another good nights rest. Despite the fact that I was in an unfamiliar environment. I laid on my back with my eyes closed for a few minutes. In my mind I still had images of Charlie and Renee back home.

The thought of them tugged at my heart. Would I ever see them again?

It was quiet in the room. Still I was afraid to open my eyes due to the fear of finding Edward laying next to me. I definitely do not want to start off my morning with him being the first thing I see.

Though, it is unavoidable. My prayers have not been answered; I am still stuck here.

Taking a deep breath I slowly opened my eyes, ready to take in the bronze haired devil.

When I finally found the courage in me, I let out my breath when I found that he wasn't even in the bed…or even in the room for that matter. Good. I need some alone time. Time to think.

Since I was finally told their big secret, what am I supposed to do now? I already know that vampires have keen eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell. They are also extremely fast to where I cant even see them move. There is no way I could run away from them. They would catch me for sure.

But there is also the fact that Edward is in love *cough cough* obsessed with me. I have never been the acting type but maybe there could be a way of tricking him. So I have three options: 1: Just give up. Go with it. I could just not fight anymore and give in. 2: Trick him. Use his love against him. If I could get myself to pretend that I am falling for him, maybe I could gain his trust to allow me more freedom. Then I could run. If I got the chance. Or 3: suicide.

No 3 is not an option. I don't think I could do that. I'm not brave enough. And I don't like option 1. How could I ever forgive myself if I just gave up? I don't think I could.

So that left me with option 2. This wont be easy. My mother always said I was like an open book. So easy to read. I have never been a good liar. If he sees through me it might anger him. And I most definitely don't want to anger a vampire.

Oh stop it Bella you sound like your afraid of him! I'm not afraid of him. A little intimidated, but not exactly afraid. Yes but you don't have to be scared to get hurt….

I shook my head to clear my internal bickering and headed towards the bathroom for a shower. I was not at all surprised to find my favorite kind of shampoo. Strawberries.

After I was finished with the warm shower I wrapped myself in a towel and walked into the closet to stake out a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. It was harder to find than I thought.

Eventually I managed to get dressed in dark blue skinny jeans and a long black shirt that stopped mid-thigh. I pulled on a pair of black flats then ran a brush through my now damp hair.

I honestly liked the outfit though I would never tell them that. I wouldn't want to give any of them the satisfaction of thinking that they actually did something right.

I stood in the middle of the room, looking around. I was debating with myself whether I should stay put or leave the isolated bedroom. After a few minutes I decided I would go explore a little bit and try and find the best escape routes that I could.

As soon as I exited the room an overwhelming smell hit me. It was bacon and sausage. Hmm. I didn't now vampires could eat human food. My stomach growled angrily. I haven't eaten in a long time. I just couldn't stop myself from moving towards the amazing scent.

A lady was humming softly to herself as I entered the kitchen. Her long, caramel colored hair was pulled into a ponytail. She must of heard me because she turned around with a smile and said, "Good morning, dear. I thought you might be hungry so I made you breakfast." and placed two plates of sausage and bacon on the island in the middle of the kitchen.

I didn't hesitate to walk over and have a seat. I was starving.

"Thanks."

"My name is Esme by the way. It's very nice to meet you. I am sorry about all this, truly I am. Edward just has a one track mind and it is hard to sway him different. But I hope you are comfortable here."

I nodded slowly as I took a bite of bacon. Speaking of Edward. I was surprised I haven't seen him yet. "Where is…Edward." I hated speaking his name.

"He went out hunting with the others. I stayed behind so that I could fix you breakfast and make sure you have everything you need."

"you mean 'watch me and make sure I don't escape'." I muttered quietly to myself.

She frowned but said no more. I finished the delicious meal as Esme did the dishes.

The sun was shining through the glass window from the main room. Might as well soak up as much Vitamins as I can.

"um, Esme? Is there any chance that I could sit outside for a while?" I wasn't too confident that she would let me but she seemed nice enough to possibly consider it.

"Of course, dear. You don't have to ask permission. This is your home now, too. Feel free to do what you like." she smiled and continued to tidy up the kitchen.

I smiled and bolted out the door.

I wasn't really planning on escaping just yet. Sure Edward and the others were gone and Esme probably wouldn't notice for a few moments. I would have to be patient and wait until the time was right. Then I could take my chance and run to freedom.

I sat on the porch and stretched my legs out. It felt nice to be alone.

I sat there for a few hours and watched the trees sway with the wind. It was actually quite peaceful.

That is, until I heard that smooth, velvet voice next to me.

"Good afternoon, love."

I groaned. Looks like my peaceful evening has now ended.


review please! Let me know if Bella is realistic. I am trying to make her as realistic as possible. Get ready for some more Edward in the next chapter. :)
