Chapter 10 - The Truth Gone Wrong

In this chapter, Julia and Carlie sneak into Bella…and Edward's hotel room while Bella is out with her class. They soon find that they are not alone, and that one simple thing can turn the truth into a disaster. The events that take place in this chapter happen very suddenly. Read every word carefully.

Julia's POV

"Carlie, we are about to open the door that holds the truth about who, and what Bella's boyfriend really is. This is our last chance to turn back. Are you sure that we should do this?" I asked my sister Carlie. My long, blonde hair bounced around my shoulders and down my back. Carlie nodded and checked her watch.

"Just open the door," Carlie whispered nervously. I slid the room key through the sensor lock on the door, and stepped into the large room with Carlie before closing the door behind us. My heart raced, and I was too scared to think. I heard movement in the bathroom as someone turned off the water. I turned quickly, and tripped. I fell against a sharp-cornered table and as I hit the corner, I could feel the sharp edge cutting into my neck. Warm blood ran down my throat, and with my fingers I established the fact that I had a one and a half inch cut on my neck. I hit the ground, and couldn't find the energy to stand up.

Someone rushed into the room, and knocked Carlie into the table that had injured me. Through my blurred eyes, I saw Bella's boyfriend Edward was wrapped in a towel, a hungry look plastered across his marble face. Carlie reached out to grab me, but fell unconscious. Edward leaned down, and placed his lips on my throat. His teeth sunk into my flesh, and his tongue lapped up some blood. I then felt him move towards Carlie. With my eyes barely open, I saw him bite Carlie's neck and drink a small amount of blood, before staring in shock at what he had just done.

Edward's POV – Five Minutes Ago

I was taking a shower to use up some of the extra time that I had between the time that Bella left for breakfast, and the time that she returned after spending her afternoon shopping with Julia and Carlie. I was so glad that Bella had found some human friends to hang out with while on this trip to Canada. Suddenly, I heard the hotel room door open. I assumed that it was a maid, because whoever it was thought about leaving the room nice and tidy. I turned off the water, and about five seconds later, there was a small shriek and then, the smell hit me. Blood. My eyes were dark grey, so I was planning on hunting tonight, but I couldn't ignore the warm, wonderful smell that was so close to me. I wrapped a towel around me, and ran out of the bathroom. The smell grew stronger, and in my rush to get some blood, I accidentally pushed a red-haired girl into a small table.

I leaned down to the blonde girl that lay beside the redhead, and bit, then lapped up some of her blood. I moved over to the redhead and did the same. Suddenly, I realized that these two girls were Bella's new friends. She would never forgive me. I backed away from the girls, and dialed Carlisle's number on my silver cell phone.

"Edward, how is the trip?" Carlisle greeted me.

"Carlisle, I have a problem. Two of Bella's new friends walked into the suite today. One of them got cut, and I…I bit the both of them. I couldn't help myself. I meant to hunt tonight, but when I smelled the blood…I just couldn't stay away."

"Can you suck out the venom, like you did for Bella?"

"No."

"Then you must bring them here. You'll have to carry the both of them. I have a night shift tonight, but…Alice can run to you. She'll help you carry the two girls. Alice will meet you at nine o'clock in the forest next to the hotel. Be careful, and make sure that you are seen by no one. In the mean time, bandage the bite marks on the girls. Bye." I hung up the phone, and ran to find bandages. There was a first aid kit in the bathroom. I removed gauze and medical tape from the kit, and bandaged the two girl's nearly healed wounds. There was no blood on the floor, and when I had finished bandaging, I lay the girls side by side on the large bed. It was then that I realized the time. It was half past noon, and Bella would be here any minute.

Bella's POV

It was weird that Julia and Carlie had not shown up at our usual meeting place. I had waited a half hour, but decided to go up to the room and wait for them to call. I opened the door of my room to find Edward waiting for me. "Bella," Edward asked, "What would you say if I told you that I had to go back to Fork's tonight?"

"I'd ask you why," I replied simply.

"What if I told you that I had to go back because there are two new vampires in the family? Two young vampires who are still going through the change."

"I'd ask you who they were, and who turned them." Edward gave me a guilty look. "You didn't! How could you? Who are they?"

"Before I tell you, you need to know that they stole one of the passkeys and broke in."

"One of my passkeys? Who could steal one of my…Julia and Carlie weren't at our meeting place today. You turned Carlie and Julia?" I screamed at Edward.

"They broke in and one of them tripped and blood spilled. I couldn't help myself! I couldn't resist the temptation! Then the other one fell and hit the same table, and I only managed to get a little blood before I realized what I had done! I called Carlisle, and he told me that I had to bring them to Forks tonight. Alice is going to help me carry them tonight. I'm sorry! It's not my fault that you chose friends who are almost clumsier than you!

"I'm sorry that I yelled, but seriously! I beg you month after month and you don't turn me, but two girls that you don't know slip, and you have the courage to turn them?"

"I'm sorry!"

"Well, until you leave, I'm going to sit with them & make sure that they're okay!

"I'll be in the corner."

"No…come sit with me. I know that you couldn't resist the smell of the blood." I grabbed Edward's hand, and pulled him towards the bed that held my two Canadian friends. Julia and Carlie looked like they were in an enormous amount of pain. Every few minutes, one of them would moan and clutch their neck. Although I was still very mad at Edward, I knew that it really wasn't his fault. Together, we watched over Julia and Carlie until nine o'clock. Edward grabbed the two girls and ran as fast as he could out of the room. I looked out of the window and saw Edward wave to me, before running off into the forest to meet Alice.
