A/N: Hey there readers! Welcome to another new chapter of, Darkness of Twilight! :)
Sorry that it took me forever just to actually update this story.
Isabella: Yeah, while you were off updating other stories, and writing new ones, I was stuck here with little Miss Perfect.
Bella: She's just cranky that you didn't update this story.
Me: Alright, I already said I was sorry. I had a case of writer's block for this story - much like the companion story - and I was having trouble of what to write in this chapter, because I wasn't sure what I wanted to happen in here.
Isabella: Well, you should start off sometime soon already; these readers have been waiting long enough for your ass to get writing.
Bella: Isabella, behave. Don't be so mean to Lily. *turns to me* I forgive you for your absence, Lady Lily.
Me: Thank you, Bella. *hugs* I won't even expect anything from you, Isabella.
Isabella: *huffs and crosses arms over chest*
Me: So, yeah. Sorry I took so long, and thank you for the reviews so far. Now, let's get started on the long awaited chapter!
***DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight, unfortunately. I've been putting "I want to own Twilight" on my Christmas list ever since I've read the series, but alas, I've never owned Twilight. :(***
~Chapter 9~
-Bella Swan-
I was frozen. Immobile. Dumbfounded. Flabbergasted. Shocked to the core. No matter what, I was rooted by what Edward has said to me. "I'm a vampire." Those words were echoing over and over, like a broken record, in my mind.
"A... vampire?" I asked him, finally finding my voice. Edward, who was staring at me with those ruby orbs, nodded, and sat back, giving me space to contemplate over his words. It didn't make any sense; Edward... a vampire? Weren't they like supposed to burn in the sunlight, only come out at night, turn into bats? Don't vampires have fangs? The whole red eyes deal does kind of convince me that Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have any fangs, and he didn't burn in the sunlight. He was out in the daytime when we're at school, and I've never seen him turn into a bat. Unless he does that on his own time, and he probably does have a coffin at his house.
"I knew I shouldn't have told you what I was. You're going into shock." Edward murmured remorsefully, sighing. "Come on, I'm taking you back to your house." Edward mumbled, standing to his feet. He heaved me up on my feet, and hauled me over his shoulders and onto his back. And then, we were flying. "Whoa!" I squeaked, wrapping my arms around his neck and shoulders in a chokehold. "Sorry." I heard Edward muttered in apology.
Then, we were suddenly back at my house. Edward deposited me at my doorstep, looking rather sad for some reason. Why was he sad? Was he sad that our date was cut short? Did he think that him revealing his secret ruined it? Edward looked like he wanted to say something, for he kept opening and closing his mouth several times. Finally, he sighed, his hands fisting together, before he turned around, facing away from me. "Don't go." I blurted out. I needed answers, and I didn't want him to just tell me what he was, and then abruptly leave.
Edward looked over his shoulder to look at me with disbelief. "What?" he asked in shock. I cleared my throat, and with my hands at my sides, I stood up straighter and looked at him with determination. "I said, don't go. I need answers from you, Edward Masen. And, I don't plan on letting you leave me hanging onto your confession with nothing to explain." I stated with curtness. "Seriously? You don't want me to leave, so you can get some answers? I'm a fucking vampire, Isabella. I shouldn't even be here right now." Edward growled, turning around to stare at me with angry red eyes.
"I don't care. I want answers this instant, Mister Vampire." I growled back, staring him down. "And what if I say no?" Edward growled back, his face mere inches from mine. "I know what I can do to get you to tell me what I want to know." I challenged, smirking up at him. "If you know, why don't you just tell me?" Edward challenged me this time, raising an eyebrow. "I know what you want from me, but what if I go give it over to someone else? Like say, Mike Newton?" I bluffed; I knew that Edward only probably wanted to have my virginity, just so he can boast about once again having every girl wrapped around his finger.
"What it are you talking about?" Edward asked me, narrowing his eyes at me. "I know you just want my virginity. And, you would be so pissed off if I went off to Mike Newton, and had sex with him." I retorted, smirking and sneering up at Edward. "Wait... you're a virgin?" he asked, looking surprised at this bit of news. Now that I realized that I just told him I was a virgin, I blushed deeply. Shit; why did I have to go to extremes just to get some answers from this idiot?
"Um, yes?" I answered, looking down at the ground in embarrassment. Abruptly, I was airborne, and then I was over Edward's shoulder, him carrying me like I was a sack of potatoes, and he was picking at my lock. "What the hell? I have a key you know." I muttered to him, moving my legs. "I know; this is more fun though." Edward told me, laughing just as the door opened. Edward walked through the door with me still over his shoulder, and kicked the door shut with his shoe. Then, he walked into the living room and sat me down on my couch.
"Who knew that a human could get me so riled up like this?" I heard Edward mutter to himself, while he disappeared from the living room. "I heard that!" I yelled at him, wherever he went off to. "You were supposed to." Edward suddenly said, and with a gasp, I whirled around to stare up at him from my left. "Uh, how did you do that?" I asked him. "Vampire, remember?" he asked me sarcastically, and pointed to himself.
"Oh, yeah." I muttered, and jumped a little when Edward dropped a pile of clothes in my lap. "What's this?" I asked him, while he plopped himself down on the couch. "Clothes. If I have to explain myself to you, then I need to not really have any distractions. So, go get changed." Edward told me, jutting a thumb over his shoulder to the stairs. "You went through my room?" I shrieked at him, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Relax, Isabella. I didn't touch anything that I wasn't supposed to touch." Edward assured me, chuckling to himself. Sighing rather loudly and angrily, I got up and went upstairs and into my room, slamming my door to show to him how angry I was. I was happy that he didn't go through my personal items, but still? He could've just said I had to changed, instead of coming in here. No good, stupid vampire. I thought to myself while I changed into the dark sweats, and the t-shirt in my hands. I then buried the short dress down far below in my hamper, before I pulled my hair up into a loose ponytail, and walked back downstairs.
"Alright, what's your first question?" Edward asked me once I was sitting back down on the couch. "How long have you been a vampire?" I asked him. He can't be too old, right? Edward, laughing to himself, ran a hand through his hair. "You're going to freak out when I tell you, I know it." Edward muttered, laughing still. "I won't. I didn't really freak out when you told me you were a vampire - okay so I did -, but still, I'll be fine." I stated, shrugging. "You're one odd human." Edward muttered to himself, not intending for me to hear it.
"Just tell me how old you are." I stated again impatiently. "Ugh, fine. I was born in 1901, and I was about to die in 1918. You do the math." Edward stated, and looked the other way. "Whoa; you're over 100 years old?" I asked him, instantly figuring out the years between then and now. "107 or 108; give or take." He replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"No need to get technical." I snapped, narrowing my eyes at him. "Okay, next question." Edward ordered, waving his hand. "Why haven't you killed me yet?" I asked him randomly. "Pass." he replied quickly, rubbing his temples. "What? I don't smell good enough for you to suck my blood?" I asked him teasingly, snickering. But, I was silenced when I found myself on my back, and with Edward hovering over me. "You smell too good, for your own safety, Isabella." Edward said to me, staring down at me with a burning intensity.
"So then why haven't you killed me yet?" I asked him, staring up at him since I couldn't really move from his vice-like hands that are over my wrists, holding my hands above my head. "Because..." Edward trailed off exasperatedly, but he sighed angrily in the end. "Because I just can't, Isabella. I can't kill you." Edward answered rather impatiently. "'Just can't' isn't good enough, Edward." I growled, glaring at him. "You honestly want me to kill you? You want me to drink you dry, until you're nothing but a lifeless corpse?" Edward snarled, glowering down at me with black eyes. I gasped at his anger, but shook my head at him.
"Then why do you keep asking me why I haven't killed you?" he asked me, glaring still. "I honestly want to know why. If you're a vampire, then my blood should be like a blaring sign, just saying, "Free Blood - Free for any vampire to suck dry!" Yet here I am, still standing, alive, with blood pumping through me, and here you are, a vampire with red - er, now black - eyes, and I'm your helpless victim. So, honestly Edward, why haven't you killed me yet?" I snapped at him, looking up at him imploringly.
"You honestly want to know, Isabella?" he asked me. "Yes." I answered immediately. Edward sighed heavily, and then hid his face from me. "If I killed you, then it would be the two for one deal." Edward mumbled into my neck. "What?" I asked him. "If I killed you, Isabella, then I would die as well. It's part of the deal." Edward told me, lifting his head slightly and releasing my hands. "What deal? What are you talking about, Edward?" I asked him, staring at him in confusion.
"Look, you know that I have a feud with the Cullens, right?" Edward began, closing his eyes. "Yeah." I said. "The Cullens and I made a deal awhile back, and it's been the same ever since. The deal between us is that if I don't kill a human in the town that we're staying at, then I get to live. If I don't follow the rule, then it's like I'm digging my own grave." Edward explained. "How long is "awhile back"?" I asked him.
"Around in the '80s." Edward told me. "But, that's impossible. If you made this deal with the Cullens in the '80s, then that means Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper didn't exist, and that means Carlisle and Esme were what, like in their teens." I rushed out, seriously confused. How could he know the Cullens, and be the rival of the siblings, when they made this deal back in the '80s, and the siblings shouldn't exist? "Bella - ugh. Okay, I guess I forgot to mention something." Edward said exasperated, covering his face with his hands.
"What else did you forget to mention to me?" I asked him accusingly. "The Cullens are also vampires." Edward said emotionlessly. "What?" I asked him surprised. "Seriously, they are vampires like I am, Bella. They're different than me, but they're still vampires." Edward said, rolling his eyes. "How different?" I asked him. "Well, obviously, I have red eyes, and they have topaz eyes. Our diets are totally different." Edward explained.
"Diets? What do they eat? What do you eat?" I asked him; so many damn questions, and I need to know. But he keeps giving me such small answers. "Calm down, Isabella. I was getting there. Anyways, their diet is of them drinking animal blood." Edward emphasized the "drinking" part in his answer, as if he was correcting me from using the wrong term. "Okay. So, if they drink animal blood, I'm guessing you drink human blood." I assumed, and when he nodded, he was suddenly gone from my side.
"Edward? Where did you go?" I called out, sitting up from the couch. "Why aren't you running in terror?" I whirled around, to see Edward standing behind me, leaning on the back of the couch with his arms crossed over his chest. "Why would I run in terror?" I asked him, turning my body around so that my front was against the back of the couch. "Hello! I'm a vampire, that is a human blood drinker, and I could instantly fucking kill you!" Edward growled at me; this vampire was a little too bipolar, right now.
"Well, I know that you don't want to die, so I know that you won't kill me." I explained to him, shrugging my shoulders. "Like I said earlier, you are one odd human." Edward stated, shaking his head while chuckling. But, abruptly, Edward froze, and then suddenly hissed lowly. "What? What is it?" I asked him. "I have to go, Isabella. Complications are going to be here soon." Edward muttered, getting ready to bolt out the back door. "No!" I hissed, and tackled him from behind - it was like running into a thick, cemented, brick wall; very painful. "What the - What are you doing?" Edward hissed when he felt me on his back. "I'm not letting you leave. I still need answers!" I snapped at him. Faster than I could blink, I was back on my feet, standing in front of him, my hands at my sides, and him holding them there.
"Why do you want me to stay so badly?" Edward asked me, raising an eyebrow down at me. "I want more answers. I need more answers from you. Can you stay, please?" I asked him, looking up at him pleadingly. Edward stared down at me, before he groaned and then nodded. "I'll stay, okay? But, I have to go hide up in your room." Edward told me. "Why?" I asked him. "Would you please stop with the questions for now? I just need to hide. After you're done eating your dinner, you can come up, so we'll continue with the questioning - and I'll answer every single question you want me to answer, alright?" Edward begged with me.
"Okay, fine. Get up there - but don't touch anything personal, because then I'll find my dad's shotgun and make sure you'll be vampire swiss cheese!" I hissed to him when he began walking away after I gave him the green light to go up to my room. "Can't promise I won't touch anything." Edward said back to me, looking over his shoulder and winking at me with a smirk, before he disappeared.
A few minutes later, the front door opened. "Bells?" Charlie called out. "Hi dad." I greeted him, walking out of the kitchen from where I was in. "Hey. So, are you up for some pizza?" Charlie asked me. "Sure." I answered with a small smile. "Oh, by the way, Bells. I invited Billy and Jake over to have some dinner with us tonight. Is that alright with you?" Charlie asked, after he hung up his gun and took off his shoes.
"Uh, yeah it is, dad." I said. Charlie smiled and then walked into the kitchen to go call for pizza, while Jacob helped his dad inside the house. "Hey Jacob, Billy." I greeted them with a slight wave. "Hey Bells." Jacob greeted me with his boyish smile, showing that he really did look like his age - 16. "Hello, Bella." Billy greeted me.
"So, what pizza do you all want to eat tonight?" Charlie asked. "Cheese." I answered first. "Pepperoni." Jacob said next. "I'll be fine with whatever." Billy inputted, wheeling himself in the direction of the living room. "Alright; a pizza of half cheese, and half pepperoni." Charlie stated, and walked back into the kitchen. That left Jacob and I standing in the entryway of the house.
"You're friends were at our beach today." Jacob started. "Hmm?" I asked him, looking up at him. I had been thinking to myself - okay, I was thinking about the vampire in my bedroom upstairs right now - and I was startled from Jacob's question. "You're friends, from your school. They were at our beach this morning." Jacob repeated. "They said that you were off on a date with some guy... Madsen? Monsoon?" Jacob added in. "Masen. As in Edward Masen." I answered; okay, so big deal. I was out on a date with Edward for the afternoon. Why did they have to tell Jacob that?
Jacob seemed halted when I said Edward's name, and then he glared at me. "What?" I asked him, narrowing my eyes at him. "Edward Masen, Bella? Tell me you didn't fall for his shitty player ways." Jacob growled, glowering at me. "Jake, I don't have to tell you anything, other than the fact that I did go out with him today. What's the big deal about it?" I asked him angrily. "Bella, I swear, when I find that asshole, I'm going to skin him alive. There's no way I'm letting him get to you like he has already done with most of the women in this town." Jacob snarled quietly.
"Calm down, Jacob. Why are you getting so worked up about this?" I asked him, but I hissed in pain when Jacob suddenly latched his hand onto my wrist tightly. "Ow! Jake, let me go!" I hissed to him, tugging at my wrist. "Tell me, why in the fuck do I smell him in this house?" Jacob snarled at me. "Jacob, let go!" I growled, and when he did let go, I clutched my wrist in pain, glaring at the red marks that was left there. "Thanks a lot, jackass. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take care of my sore and soon-to-be bruised wrist." I growled at him, and then, stumbled up the stairs, but stomped on my way up.
"What's wrong with Bella?" I heard Charlie ask Jacob, before I entered the bathroom and slammed the door shut. "I really should kill that mutt." I gasped quietly, and whirled around to find Edward standing by the shower, his eyes black and looking murderous. "What are you doing out of my room? Do you want them to find you here?" I asked him in a hiss.
"I don't care, Isabella. That mangy mutt fucking hurt you; he had no right to hurt you." Edward grumbled, and then he was in front of me, wrapping my wrist up in gauze. When he was done, I hugged him. "Thanks for wrapping my wrist up, Edward." I murmured to him. I felt his arms wrap around my waist, and then him kissing my hair. "You're welcome. Besides, me hugging you is the only thing stopping me from storming down there and shaving that mutt." Edward added, and I had to laugh quietly at that.
"Go on and go eat some pizza, Isabella. I'll be in your room, waiting for you." Edward murmured to me, kissing my cheek quickly, before he pushed me out of the bathroom. I held my cheek from where Edward had suddenly kissed me there; that was the first time he has ever kissed any part of my skin - well, he has kissed my skin before, seeing as how he really kisses my neck every day - but this is the first time he has actually kissed skin that was not my neck.
I went downstairs, and when the pizza came, we all ate in the living room, the three men in the house watching sports, while I read one of my books. "Bella, what's that on your wrist?" Charlie asked, pointing to my bandage wrist. "Oh, I just slipped and Jacob tried to catch me, but since he could only get my wrist, he gripped a little too tightly, and now there will be a bruise there. No biggie." I all but told my dad in a gritted voice, glaring over at Jacob who looked guilty.
"Oh, okay." Charlie said, nodding.
After I had two slices of pizza - I had to make it look believable, and not like I was in a rush to get to my room so I can continue questioning the vampire in my house - I stood up, and told Charlie that I wanted to go up to my room for the night, and get a head start on a homework assignment that was due in a few days - really, it's due in a week or so - and told him goodnight. When I was safely in my room, with the door shut, I turned around to see Edward sitting on the edge of my bed, waiting for me.
"Shall the questioning continue?" Edward asked in amusement, smirking up at me. "It shall." I answered, sitting myself beside him. "Before we begin with the questioning," Edward began, looking over at me. "There's something I want to try." Edward murmured. "Tell me that you don't want me to just sit here while you go off into the night, and come back to see how fast you were in catching a human for "dinner"." I teased shakily; I had a feeling of where this was going. "Isabella, be practical. I know that I could be here and back like that," Edward said, then snapped his fingers to show how fast he could be.
"But, that's not what I want to try. So, please, be serious, and no sudden movements." Edward whispered, making sure that I was facing him on my bed, and he was sitting directly in front of me. "Close your eyes, my Isabella." Edward purred, his hands slipping into mine. I obediently closed my eyes, and sat there, waiting for what was to come from Edward. I could smell his breath getting closer and closer with each passing second. I couldn't help it too; I breathed in his scent, and that caused me to move slightly.
"What did I say about sudden movements?" Edward asked me in a whisper. "Sorry." I whispered back, and relaxed back into my original posture. Edward chuckled quickly, but then, I could smell him getting closer still. I was waiting on a wire, just waiting for this vampire to make his move already. I mean, yeah sure, I'm a human, full of blood and everything that makes me live, and one little slip up could kill the both of us. But, still, does he have to be so painstakingly slow?
I was brought out from my internal complaining, when I felt a pair of cold lips on my hot and heated ones. He kissed me, then pulled back, before he repeatedly kissing my lips over and over again. After the third time him doing so, I slowly wound my arms around his cold neck and kissed him back timidly. "Don't be afraid, my Isabella." Edward mumbled around our lips, his hands going to my hips.
I nodded during me kissing him, and now kissed him back with a fervor that I didn't even know that I had within me. I didn't even care if I was uncomfortable from this position. I didn't even care that I was in Edward's lap, straddling him. I didn't freak out that there was something prodding my stomach. I didn't notice, nor care, that Edward's cold hands were slipping under my top, and roaming over my stomach freely. All I could think, and care, and notice about, was the fact that here I was, kissing a vampire guy who has been following me everywhere I go since my first day at school, while my dad, and two family friends were downstairs, unaware of what was going on in my bedroom.
When we pulled away from each other, Edward stared at me with hungry, darkened eyes. I was panting from lack of air from our kissing, but also from the sexual charge that was in the air ever since we kissed each other. Something was different between us right now... and I kind of like it.
Edward got up, and made me get up as well, and then he walked with me, making me fall on top of my small bed, while Edward crawled over my body, until his face was level with mine. He kissed me again, this time more fiercely than our kissing before. I responded with fervor again, and wrapped my arms around his neck. His hands slipped under my shirt, his hands moving upwards, to my bra that I still had on. (Like I was going to expect this sudden make out session with Edward.)
"You're a virgin, correct?" Edward asked me after he had lifted my shirt off of me, leaving my chest covered by my bra, open and exposed for him to see, and then his hand dipped into my sweat pants, and his nimble fingers danced around the one area that was hot and just pooling with need. "Uh huh." I grunted out breathlessly, arching my back and moving my front closer to him. "Are you positive about that, Isabella?" Edward purred to me. "Yes. You're the first guy to being so close in touching me like this." I breathed out to him, biting my lip to keep myself from crying out in sexual frustration.
"Then, I'll make sure to take this as nice and slow for you, and then later on, we can ease our way into more... flexible positions." Edward growled to me, grunting quietly when my lower half came into contact with his lower half. "Promise me that you won't just bang me, and then leave me." I pleaded with him quietly. "I don't think I'll be leaving any time soon, Isabella." Edward whispered to me, staring down at me with intense dark eyes.
"Bella?" I gasped, and Edward growled lowly. Why is he in here?I thought to myself, in panic, before Edward and I turned to stare at the intruder...
And I must leave you there for now, readers. ;) Yeah, I know; I'm evil.
But, at least that this chapter was by far, one of the longest chapters in the story. :D That's a plus!
So, if you likey the chapter, please review-y. XD I would greatly appreciate any feedback, to see how you guys liked Bella's reaction; it's pretty easy to see that she doesn't seem to care, while she busy making out with Edward. XD
Oh! One more thing; if any readers of this story has saw the third movie of the Twilight Saga - Eclipse - would it be too much to ask you of what you thought about the movie, and what were your favorite parts in the movie? I would love to know your opinions of the movie. I absolutely loved Eclipse very much, and I had many favorite parts in the movie, like:
-The part of the movie where Edward and Bella were telling Charlie about the plane tickets to Florida, and Charlie just says so "happily"; "Yippee." That part was funny. X)
-The part of where Edward asked Bella if she would stay in the car, and just as he got out, she gets out, and he just mutters, "Of course not." XD So funny!
-Then the part of where Edward was dropping Bella off at the treaty line, and Edward asks Bella, "Doesn't he own a shirt?" My dad would keep repeating that to me, since he read and probably saw some of the scenes in the movie. And then, I thought it was so funny when Edward kisses Bella, right in front of Jacob. I had to laugh! X3
-The scene of where Bella punched Jacob; that was so funny, even if it hurt her hand and such, but it was practically funny to me. XD And, even as much as I hate Jacob, I had to laugh a lot when in the movie, he just kept pausing in his explanation to Charlie of why Edward and Jacob were fighting, and Charlie just looks proud! It's like, "Charlie, who's side are you on?" And it's also like, "Oh, poor Charlie, he has no idea what's going on." XD
Those are just some of my favorite parts in the movie; there's way too many favorite parts to count. X3 But, I would like to know what your favorite scenes, and what you readers thought of the movie. I just would honestly like to know.
Besides, I would go on and on about my favorite parts, but I'm rambling too much in this ending author's note.
Please review! Bye for now,
~*Lady Lily of Darkness*~
