--Sorry I haven't updated. I slept in accidentally through my alarm clock yesterday and was nearly late for school. Anyways, I guess not a lot of people like the fan fiction I recommended, so, whatever. I like it. I guess I just need to read better fan fiction to truly see the faults…
'I am the who when you say 'who's there?''
Sorry, random song moment XD. I am totally obsessive over the song 'This is Halloween' by Marilyn Manson. It's a remake. If anyone knows where I can find a clip online of Panic! At The Disco's version, I would be grateful!
BTW: Thank you to everyone who informed me of Victoria's ability!

Chapter 10: Arrival
"My mom paid you off. How much?" Madison knew all of her mother's tricks by now. She didn't need vampire abilities to know that.
"A fifty." Christopher replied, turning onto a narrower street which immediately ended in front of the mall.
"Must be big. How long does she want me out of the house?"
"She just said to be home no earlier than nine."
"Wonder what it is…" Madison started to brainstorm everything she could think of. Everything but the obvious…
She turned to Christopher. "You know. Don't you."
He grinned. "Your dad's in town." Madison blinked at him. It had never been so easy to get information out of him. It usually took hours of mindless flirtation and kissing. He glanced at her, then back to the road. "Your mom never told me not to tell you, and you have a right to know."
"Take me home." She said flatly.
"No can do. I've got orders from your mother." He pulled into a parking spot. She was about to object but his lips caught hers. "Let's just enjoy tonight, okay?"

Bella found herself unable to move as she watched Edward get out of the Mercedes. She wondered why Alice was driving the Volvo, and why Edward wasn't even in the Volvo. He got out and gripped the car for support. His eye's looked vacant; distant. As if he were so lost in thought, he couldn't find his way back.
Bella smiled as the family approached the door. Esme wrapped her arms around Bella in a tight hug and she smiled at Carlisle.
"It's so nice to see you again, Bella," Esme exclaimed.
"It's nice to see you all, too." Bella avoided Edwards gaze—which was fixated to her face. She led them in and they all took a seat in a chair in the kitchen.
It was silent. No one knew what to say. It would've been an awkward silence if not for Jasper. No one had the courage to ask Bella the one thing that was on most everybody's minds—her transformation. Jasper sent a wave of courage toward Edward after Alice stared at him, glancing from him to Edward and back.
Edward sighed, they were all mentally asking him to speak up. "Bella," She looked at him, surprised. "We all want to know. About what happened." She knew what they were referring to.
She nodded. "Right after Madison was born sixteen years ago…"
