Hey guys!! Sorry it took so long for the update... But i'm back!!

Enjoy!


I stared at Alice in shock. Why was she sticking up for me?

She knew something...

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before looking back at Edward. He was staring at Alice, his eyes wide as if I'd just slapped him across the face with a fish.

He looked back at me, "You know?"

I bit my lip and nodded.

"Why did you tell her, Alice?" Edward asked, his voice a mix between anger and astonishment.

Alice shrugged, "You know why." Edward's shoulders slumped and he looked at the ground. Alice looked at me, "Because you're our friend Emily..." she smiled.

I nodded slowly and Edward looked back up at me, "So how much do you know?" he asked.

But before I could answer the rest of the Cullen's were surrounding me, looking at me with curious expressions. I smiled timidly at them.

"Let's do this somewhere else." Alice mumbled, turning and beginning to walk away.

We all followed and I felt my cheeks redden as Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett stared at me. Edward however, walked ahead of Alice, his head down. I felt someone touch my arm and I turned my head slightly as Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper picked up their pace to talk to Edward.

"I wouldn't worry guys." Alice said lightly, knowing they would hear her, "She only knows the basic facts..." she said purposefully, looking me in the eyes.

Ok, so I knew only the basic facts.

I could do that, basic facts.

What the hell were basic facts?

I knew their whole life stories...

Edward walked to a little cafe that had been set up for the carnival and they each sat down on a chair.

I looked around and there was only one chair left, beside Edward. But he wasn't making eye contact with me. He was angry at me...

I sat down anyway and looked around the table at them.

"So when did you find out?" Emmett asked first, breaking the silence and I saw Edward's head move up at the question.

"I told her today..." Alice said brightly, "When I was telling her what to wear tonight... Though she obviously didn't take my instructions..." she sighed.

"How much do you know?" Rosalie asked.

"Just the basic facts..." I mumbled, "I know that you guys are vampires..." I spoke low, knowing they would hear me easily, "Vegetarian vampires... And I know that Alice can see the future, Jasper can control emotions, Edward can r-" I took a deep breath as Edward moved in his seat, "Edward can read minds, Emmett is supernaturally strong even for a vampire, and Rosalie." I smiled lightly, "You're impossibly beautiful and perfect."

She rolled her eyes and shook her head, but she was smiling.

We all sat in silence for another long moment, "You're not afraid of us?" Edward asked quietly, mostly to me. His face was doubtful, and of course beautiful, "Of me?"

I shook my head at him, "Of course I'm not afraid of you..." Was that why he seemed upset? "Why would I be afraid of you? I know if you guys were going to hurt me, you would've done it before now... And plus," I shrugged, turning to look at all of them, "You go to school with humans and feed on animals... You're not evil..."

We sat in silence as the Cullen's smiled at one another.

"I have an idea!" Alice squealed happily.

Everyone's head snapped around to look at her.

"Let's tell Emily our stories!" she smiled.

"Here?" we all asked together.

"Well why not? There's no-one around." She shrugged.

That was when it began.

Alice started, telling me about her time in the asylum and how she'd found Jasper.

Then Jasper took his turn, telling me about the army and Maria and her coven.

Emmett took over soon after, explaining about his human life and how Rose had saved him from the 'stupid grizzly bear'.

Rosalie spoke softly, explaining her human life to me in detail, like the others had. I'd expected her to hold back, Rosalie wasn't known for her openness, but tonight she told me everything.

We all turned to look at Edward as he sat looking at the tabletop.

I spoke in a whisper, "You don't have to..."

He looked up at me, his eyes gentle, "Do you want to know?"

I stayed in silence for a long moment and then nodded, "Yes... I want to know all about you..." Now was my chance to confirm my theory, "But I'm sure you could've told by my thoughts..." I smiled.

He looked at me solemnly, "I can't read your thoughts..."

"Really?" I did my best to sound surprised, "Why?"

He shrugged, "I'm working on it..."

Oh God, please don't find a cure.

I smiled teasingly, "Well maybe it's better if you can't read my thoughts."

"Why are they embarrassing?" Edward asked back, a smile breaking out across his face.

I blushed violently, "No..." I mumbled.

Edward chuckled, seeming far more relaxed now and he began to tell me his story. And his was the one that affected me the most... It was told so seriously and carefully that I felt my heart pull and tears almost spring to my eyes.

When Edward finished he smiled lightly at me and I continued to stare at him, obvious love for him showing in my eyes, but I didn't care.

"What time is it?" Emmett asked.

I snapped out of my reverie and looked at my watch, "God... It's just past eleven..."

"What time have to be home for?" Edward asked.

"Half..." I frowned.

"Well come on then." Alice said standing up, "It's the first time we've ever been to this carnival and we've got another 23 minutes to enjoy it. And..." she smiled, "I see Jasper winning me a giant deer, come on." She tugged his arm.

They all stood up and left the cafe, heading to the balloon and dart game.

I turned shyly towards Edward. He was looking down at me curiously, "What?" I asked, worried I had something on my face.

"Nothing." He shook his head and smiled, "Come on."

We walked towards the game and I looked at my feet, "Edward?"

"Mmm?"

"Are you annoyed that I know?"

I wasn't sure that I wanted to hear the answer.

He sighed, "No..." I looked up at him in shock, "I'm annoyed that I wasn't the one to tell you..."

I blushed and looked down at my feet. Edward laughed as we reached the booth and I looked up to see Emmett with Jasper in a head lock. Alice stood with a giant deer teddy in her arms. Jasper must have beaten Emmett, I smiled.


Edward walked me up the path to my house. I unlocked the door and turned to look at him, "Isn't your mum home?" he asked.

I shook my head, fiddling with my little chick teddy, "Night shift." I explained.

He nodded and then looked down nervously, "Um... We were wondering if maybe... You wanted to come over tomorrow?"

"Sure." I blurted out before I had time to think about it. It was that innocent face of his, I'd give him anything...

He smiled, "I'll pick you up at twelve."

"Okay." I said, trying to hide my nervousness. That's when I thought of something, "Edward? Where was Tanya tonight?"

He laughed, "Esme was cooking chocolate brownies for the kids at the hospital, Carlisle brings them in every Saturday morning... Anyway, there was a bit of an accident... Emmett accidentally dropped the very gooey, very sticky dough mix into her hair... She's probably still trying to get it out..." he laughed and I couldn't help a giggle escaping my own lips.

Edward moved, "I suppose I'll see you tomorrow... I'll let you get some sleep."

"Yeh..." I nodded, smiling at him gently.

He turned and began to walk down the path. But he stopped after his first step and turned towards me again, "You're sure?"

"Sure?"

"Sure you don't care what we are?"

I looked him in the eyes, showing I was completely sure. "Yes Edward." I answered, "I don't care what you are..."

He smiled slightly and turned back down the path again. I watched as he got into his Volvo and drove away.

I closed and locked the door and let out a deep breath.

What had just happened tonight?

Edward and the Cullen's now knew that I knew...

What would happen now?

Before the worry could creep up on me I headed to my room, determined to get a good night's sleep and deal with my problems in the morning.

I walked upstairs slowly and opened my bedroom door.

I gasped in shock as I saw Alice perched on my bed, her legs crossed and her eyes on me.

I'd forgotten about her.

She smiled, "Emily..."

"Alice..."

"Come." She patted the bed beside her, "You have some explaining to do..." I began to walk towards the bed and she spoke again as I sat down beside her, "Like how you knew who we were..."
