Chapter 10: Theory

Me and Jeff got out of the car and into the fresh air. He leaned on the car and I sat on the hood, swinging my feet back and forth.

"Can I ask you a few more questions?" I asked.

He nodded.

"When I got lost how did you find me other then the reading the their mind thing?" I asked.

"I followed you scent." he said looking straight into the night.

I nodded, nothing surprised me these days. "And how does the mind reading work?"

"I cant hear them if its more that a few miles away. And its like background music, it's a buzz, but then if I concentrate on one person I can listen perfectly to their thoughts."

I nodded that made perfect sense. "One more and that's it. What color is your real hair color?"

He laughed "Your worried about something like that?"

I nodded I merely curious.

"I think it used to be blond, I'm not sure. I've dyed it to much to remember."

I giggled "I like it like this."

He looked at me "I'm glad."

I looked down blushing. "So why cant you hear me?"

"Your mind must work differently." he said looking up at the darkening sky.

"I guess I really am a freak." I said with a small laugh.

"I hear voices in my head, and your worried about you being a freak." he said with a slight smirk.

"So your theory what is it?" he asked after a moment of silence.

I looked at him biting my lip. Something I did out of nervousness.

"I wont laugh." he said.

I really did wonder how he seemed to know what I was thinking id he said he couldn't read my mind. "I'm afraid you will be made at me."

"I wont." he said calmly "Go on."

"I don't know were to start." I said looking at the floor.

"From the start of course." he said "Were did you get this theory form, a book? A movie?"

I shook my head "From a childhood friend… Ted Austin."

He nodded at me to go on.

"His dad is one of the Quileute elder." I said "He was trying to scare me. He told me a story about vampires."

"And you though of me?" he asked.

I shook my head "No, he mentioned your family."

He said nothing staring ahead. I was suddenly sacred for Ted.

"He though it was just a silly superstition." I said "He dint think I would look into it."

He nodded.

"I tricked him into telling." I admitted "I was flirting with him."

He let out a laugh, but his eyes were troubled. "What did you do after that?"

"I looked it up in the internet. I dint find much… anything at all." I said "I decided it didn't matter."

"How can it not matter." he said "I'm a monster. I'm not human"

"No." I said forcefully.

He said nothing but looked straight ahead, he went around and got into the car.

I jumped off the hood, trying to stay upright and got in as well.

"You angry." I said "I told you."

"No." he said "I'm mad at how you handled this situation." he said. "It doesn't matter. How in the hell can it not matter to you."

"So I was right… well Ted was right." I said. "I don't care but I am curios."

He let out a chuckle "When are you not?"

I smiled "So can you go out in the sun or will you burn to ashes?"

"Myth." he said with a laugh.

"Do you sleep in coffins?"

"We don't sleep at all." he said.

I nodded " At all?"

"Never." he said.

"Okay, so how old are you?"

"Seventeen." he said.

I rolled my eyes "How old are you really?"

"I've been around for a long time." he said but didn't elaborate.

He continued to drive at that high speed that he considered slow. "Aren't you going to ask me about my eating habits?"

I shrugged "Oh that."

"Yes that." he said sarcastically.

"Ted said something of you not eating people."

He nodded "He was right. We are vegetarian, we only drink out of animals. Inside joke."

"Of course." I said having a feeling that they had plenty of that.

"But that doesn't mean that we are not dangerous." he said with a pained look on his face "People should stay away from us. We make mistakes, and one mistake can end a life"

I reached over and garbed his cool hand "Is this a mistake."

He looked down at our hands "A dangerous one."

"I doesn't feel like one." I admitted. "Tell me more about your life. Why don't you drink people."

"I don't want to be a monster." he said quietly.

"Is it difficult for you to keep drinking animal blood?" I asked.

He nodded "It doesn't satisfy our thirst it just keeps it at bay."

I nodded "I noticed that when you are hungry your eyes get darker."

"Your very observant." he said.

I shrugged. "Were you out hunting with Paul this weekend?"

"Yes, buts its hard for me to do so." he said "It makes me anxious to be away from you, something might happen. And I was right."

"I walked away unscratched." I said.

He turned my hand over showing me some scratches I had gotten from falling down "Not completely."

"I'll live." I said. "Why weren't you today at school?"

"I cant go out in the sun." he said "Well at least not when someone can see me."

I nodded as he continued.

"I'll show you sometime." he said.

"It makes me anxious when I don't see you as well." I said going back to the comment he had made earlier.

"This is wrong." he said.

I looked at him in confusion.

"Us. Its wrong. Its not safe." he said "I'm dangerous. I just have to lose it for one minute and - and…Maria you have to understand"

"No." I said forcefully.

"You have to."

"It too late." I said "And I told you its too late."

"Its never too late." he said as he drove.

We were now only a few minutes from home.

"Will I see you tomorrow?" I asked.

"I promise." he said.

I nodded taking off his jacket and handing it to him.

"Keep it." he said.

I shook my head "I would have to explain it to Dwayne."

He grinned "Right."

I nodded getting out of the car.

"Mia." he said.

I turned around to face him the new nickname was something only he could call me "Yes."

Hi face was only a few inches away from mine "Sleep well."

I nodded as I took a step backwards and headed for my house. I opened the door to see Dwayne watching wrestling on TV. "Hey dad."

"Hey Ria." he said "Have a good day with the girls?"

I nodded before going upstairs.

I picked up the phone, to call Melina "Hey Mel, do you think you could bring me my jacket to school tomorrow?"

"Maria." she shrieked "You have to tell me everything."

"Tomorrow." I promised.

She groaned "Fine and sure I'll bring your jacket."

I let out a sight of relief. "Thank you and talk to you tomorrow."

"Okay." she said cheerfully before hanging up.

I went to take a quick shower before going to bed.

There were three things I was positive about.

First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn't know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
