Hey! I'm soooo sorry for not updating yesterday! I went shopping, nad I thought it would onyl take one or two hours. Yah, I was gone until seven thirty last night. So here's today's chapters. Thanks for understanding. - iluvtopazeyes

Chapter 8 – Vegetarian?

My notes from the past two weeks:

Edward reads minds, but can't read mine.

Alice has visions, but they're never set in stone.

Jasper can feel emotions.

Emmett is REALLY strong.

Rosalie likes to look at her reflection.

Carlisle is a doctor.

Esme is extremely nice.

That's all I really had, but I was spending the whole day with Edward, so I might get some useful information. He knocked on the door while I was putting on a jacket. He started driving, but I didn't know where we were going.

He pulled off on a road, and we stopped at a dead end. " Are we hiking that trail?" He shook his head. " What?!? I can't even walk on smooth ground, and you're taking me on a path off the trail?"

He smiled and said, " Hop on my back. I assume you've ridden while a vampire runs before?" I let out a breath and nodded my head, climbing on his back." I closed my eyes like I always did when Mick would run. I felt the wind against my face, and noticed that Edward's run was more graceful than Mick's.

We stopped, and I opened my eyes to a beautiful meadow. Edward pulled me to

The center and we sat down. I looked up and Edward was staring at me. I noticed now that he had golden topaz eyes instead of crimson red.

I knitted my eyebrows together and asked, " Why are your eyes a different color? Mick's are red." As soon as I'd said it I knew I'd made a mistake.

Edward looked at me weird and asked, " Mick who?" I swallowed and lied, " Mick Johnston." Edward let out an unnecessary breath and said, " I thought you were talking about a Mick that I knew. I hate him with a passion."

I looked up at him and asked innocently, " Why?"

" I went to the Voulturri – you've probably heard of them – to tell of an out of control newborn vampire. Aro offered me a position as a guard, but I wanted to stay with Carlisle, so I declined. Mick forged my signature, and I almost ended up trapped with the Voulturri forever. So, I tried to kill him. He got away, though. He probably hates me just as much as I hate him."

I gulped. So this is why Mick wanted me to kill Edward? Because he wanted revenge?

Edward's voice cut off my thoughts, " And my eyes are a different color because I only feed off of animals." I smiled and stated, " So, you're like a vegetarian vampire?" He nodded and said, " You could state it that way."

I smiled, and for the first time since I'd moved to Forks – even though temporarily – I felt like I was truly home.

Hey, you HAVE to review...or I won't post tomorrow.
