Hey!

Here's the next chapter!

And I know I don't like Marie either!!!!

Last Time:

She snapped back into reality and said, "He is with another girl."

"Doing?" I asked impatiently.

"No, no. They're just talking. Don't worry."

"Who's the girl?"

"I'm not sure, all I know is she is a vampire and her name is Marie, or something like that."

"Dammit." I said and walked out of Alice's room.

I ran up the stairs to my room and flung myself on the bed.

Explanation

I'm not sure how long I was lying on the bed. The only reason I got up was because someone else sat down on it, so out of respect, I sat up.

"Bella, why are you mad at me?"

"You were supposed to be with me, and you go off with another girl, how am I supposed to react?"

"Bella, don't be jealous, she doesn't mean anything to me, she was just a close friend, I didn't even like her when I didn't have you."

"Why did you leave me to go see her then?"

Edward looked confused, very confused. "I…don't know." He finally said.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I didn't want to go, but my….I don't know. Something or someone else was controlling me; I can barely remember what we talked about."

"So, there's a chance you did more than just talk?" I asked, why was this making me so mad, I know Edward would never cheat on me.

"No! Bella, I would never do that to you."

"But you just said you weren't in control of your body!"

"Bella, calm down." He paused for a moment, concentrating on someone's thoughts. "Jasper!" He yelled angrily.

"Sorry!" Jasper called from downstairs. Oh that's why I was so mad, why would jasper do that?

"Jasper was making me mad?"

"Yes." He said still mad at jasper. "Emmett dared him; he thought it would be funny." I groaned.

"They are so going to get it later. But for now, I want to know what happened with you and Marie."

"Bella, I already explained it. I don't know what exactly happened but I know what didn't happen."

"Yes, I know. But something odd happened. Why don't you remember it; why weren't you in control of your body."

"I don't know why I don't remember, but I do remember her saying something about her power being the reason I wasn't in control of my body."

"What did she say?"

"I think her power is…well I thought it was mind control, but she controls more than just your mind, she controls your whole body. Basically she controlled me."

"Oh." What all I could say.

"She also said something about trying to control you but it didn't work."

"I wouldn't think so." I muttered under my breath

"Why?"

"Don't you remember, my mind is my safe place, the place where no one can get to you, the reason that your, Jane, or Aro's powers don't work on me."

"Oh, yes, how could I forget that?"

"Did you really forget that?"

"If I put thought into it I would have remember." He said embarrassed.

I just rolled my eyes.

"I want you to do something though." Edward said after a moment of silence.

"What would that be?"

"I want you to figure out about her past, I would but if I get close enough she would probably just use her power on me and make me do things that I would regret" He looked embarrassed again. "And I wouldn't remember. And since her power doesn't work on you, you could figure out her past, you know, who changed her and all."

"Fine. But if I do, answer my question."

"Anything."

"If you do, do anything with her, would you tell me?"

"Of course, and if I ever did do anything, I want you to know that it wouldn't be my decision, I would have to be under her control to ever do anything like that to you. I love you too much to do anything like that with anyone else…anyone at all besides you." He said, staring me directly in the eyes.

He, then, leaned over and kissed me. Why, oh why do his kisses still leave me breathless, I don't even need to breath and I still gasp for air! How embarrassing!!!

Edward started laughing at me, because I was nearly hyperventilating.

"Shut up Edward." I said, mad that he was laughing at me.

"I'm sorry love."

Now I'm at school, preparing to talk to Marie. She is walking in my direction.

"Hey Marie!" I said when I caught up to her.

"Hi, Bella, is it?"

"Yeah. So, when do you have your next class?" I asked, even though I knew she had a 45 minute break.

"Uh, 15 minutes." She lied. I had Edward get a copy of her schedule so I could talk to her.

"Oh, that's enough time, I just wanted to talk." I said the first part too low for her to hear, even with her vampire hearing.

"Um, okay." She said wearily and lead me over to a bench. We sat down.

"So, tell me about yourself." I said.

"What do you want to know?"

"Who changed you?"

"This man named Fred…I think."

"What year were you changed?"

"1919, a year or so after Edward."

"Do you still stay with the man who changed you?"

"No, he abandoned me a week after he changed me."

"Have you always been a vegetarian?"

"No, Fred fed off of humans, so that's how I fed for a year or two…I was disgusted with myself after that and I starved myself for months and when I was walking through the forest, thirst overcame me and I drank from a deer. That's how I found out that you could feed off of animals." She said. "Might I ask a few questions about you?" she asked.

"Go ahead."

"How long have you known Edward?"

"Um, about three years, I think."

"Why were you married so soon?" this was going to be embarrassing, I sure hope that my practicing with jasper pays off!

"Well, I was forced to be changed due to the Volturi. Before I was changed I wanted…something…from Edward and he insisted that we be married first. So, we got married, I got what I wanted, and then I was changed all in a week." I said.

"Why did the Volturi force you to be changed?"

"Because I was a human that knew too much and I needed to die one way or another."

"That's interesting." She mused. "Why doesn't my power work on you?"

"My mind is a safe place."

"Does Edward's power work on you?"

"Nope. Ohh, I have another question. Do you have a power?"

"Yes."

"And it would be…." I trailed off.

"I can control people and vampires to my will."

"Interesting, does it work on me?"

"No."

"You've tried?"

"Yes." She said sheepishly.

"When?"

"The first day of school. It was only because I was mad that you ran into me and made me drop my things. I wanted to make you trip."

"Have you used your power on anyone else in my family?"

"No." she said, I would have believed her if it weren't for my believing Edward over anyone else, and the fact that when she said that her eyes darted above my head and then back. A human wouldn't have noticed this small move, because she did it blindingly fast, but I, being a vampire, saw it.

"Oh."

"Hey, well I need to get to my class, so I'll see you later, okay?"

"Yeah." I said.

She got up and walked away, toward one of the buildings.

After a moment, I decided to get up and find Edward, he wasn't in class but he was far enough away that Marie wouldn't smell him and know he was listening, but he could hear her thoughts!

When I got to Edward I told him everything that she said aloud. Apparently she was thinking one thing and saying another. Well, that's not very nice!

Okay, I don't know if I like that chapter too much but I did my best!

I'm not sending this to my beta because she isn't on and it would take forever to post by the time she reads it, so sorry for any mistakes!

REVIEW PLEASE,

And tell me what you think!
