I don' own twilight. Just like how I don't own many reviews for this story. :'(

thx to any1 who does read this though.

The rest of the day, no one noticed anything different. It was after school that I had to face Dani.

She would see through any lie that I could give her. He still hadn't told me what to say.

I walked to my car and Dani waiting beside it.

Dean suddenly appeared in front of me.

"I've talked to my father and he thinks it may be best... if... you tell her. She already knows to much. Her future will depend on what she does next."

"What do you mean 'what she does next'?" He was confusing me again, he should really know better by now.

"If she can keep our secret then there may be hope. If she can't, we either kill her..."

"WHAT! YOU CAN'T JUST KILL HER." My yelling was attracting some attention including Dani who was starting to walk over to us.

"Only if she can't keep the secret. That or we change her."

Dani had reached us.

"Elisha are you alright?" She was eyeing Dean questioningly.

"I'll see you later. The same forest alright?" His voice was barely a whisper but I heard him clearly. I had a feeling that Dani hadn't though.

"I'll see you later Dean." I gave him one last look before grabbing Dani's hand and pulling her away and towards the car.

Once we were in the car I glanced out the window where he was once standing, but he was gone.

"So, what was that and lunch all about?" I didn't think that I should tell her in so much public, even if they wouldn't hear.

"I'll tell you when we get home." Home referred to Dani's house... in this case... but I was there often enough for it to be both of our houses.

Dani got the hint and started talking about school until we got to her house.

"No one's home till late again tonight."

She opened up the house and we walked in.

"Hungry?"

"I can't eat anymore." She turned to look at me. She looked confused.

We were standing in the kitchen and she slowly reached for the biscuit jar.

"I'm guessing Dean had some answers." She knew that I had answers for her. There was no way I could lie now.

"Yeah. I'm not sure if you want to know it though."

"Elisha, I'm here for you, no matter what."

"I know, but you don't understand what this could get you into. Dani, this could mean death."

Her eyes widened as they watched me.

"Who? Who could die?" It was a whisper

"I can't. Not anymore." I couldn't say it. I couldn't say to her face that she could die.

"How? Why? What are my chances?"

"Dean told me what's happening, if I tell you, we have to see how you take it. If you take it badly we will probably have to kill you. You have three other options if you take it well. Living normally again has to include keeping the secret or being killed, or something else. It's your choice."

"What's the something else?" She was starting to get scared, I could hear it in her voice.

"That would be part of the secret."

"Elisha, you know I can keep your secrets, but it's up to you what you tell me."

"I just want to keep you safe, but I want you to know what's happening. Dean says that I should tell you, since I've already told you some of it. It's actually up to you from here."

"I want to help you. I can keep the secret and the other alternative can't be worse than death, can it?"

"I don't know. I still don't know everything. I don't think it can be."

"Well then, just tell me."

"You probably won't believe me." I was starting to get scared of how far our friendship would take us.

"I've come this far haven't I?"

I sighed. She really was going to stick around.

For now at least.

"I'm just going to come out say it...... I'm becoming a vampire."

Her reaction isn't what I expected. Actually it kind of was.

If I wasn't as caught up in my own actions when Dean told me, I probably would have had the same reaction.

Dani was laughing out loud. Her laughter filled the room. I just smiled back at her. It was a sad smile. What did this mean for her fate?

When she finely stopped, she whipped away her tears and looked at me.

I still had a sad smile on my face, watching her carefully so that I could pick up on her reaction. I was worried where this would end up.

Her faced hardened as a saw her face dawn with realisation.

"You're serious." All I could do is nod at her.

"Oh, Elisha." She came over and hugged me. Only Dani could understand how hard this was.

I hugged her back. "Thanks." I whispered.

She pulled back from me after awhile. I was glad I'd told her. She was now the one person that could explain everything to.

"So, where does that leave us?"

"Well, you remember your options? The other one was... well is... too..." I took a deep breath, "become one of us." I looked at the floor. Didn't want to see her reaction to that.

After a few seconds I heard her clearly whisper, "And what does that involve?"

I looked up at her. She had taken a seat at the table. Her face was blank. I keep my position standing. If Dani was anywhere near scarred I didn't want to make it worse.

"I don't really know. I still don't know all the details. I just know that my way isn't natural. I don't want this to be a burdened on you. Like I said; if you can keep the secret then noting has to change. You can go back to normal."

"And will that include you?"

"I don't know. I don't know much. You probably know as much as I do. It will probably be based on my actions over the next few weeks."

We just stared at each other. Her face was still blank.

Then I remembered Dean wanting to meet me in the forest. I still had to get back to Rhys as well before I did that.

I flicked eyes to the clock then back to Dani just in time to see her eyes widen in shock.

"Elisha what's the time?" I was confused but I answered her anyway.

"8:30. Why?"

"Just checking that I hadn't imagined your eyes flicking to the clock and back at an unnatural speed."

Oops. I'd scarred her again.

"Maybe I should leave. I'm scarring you."

"As well as yourself. I'm not leaving you. Not any time soon. I'm still your best friend last time I checked." I loved her so much right now.

I smiled at her.

"When are you seeing Dean again?"

"Tonight. Why?"

"Cause I'm coming. I dragged myself into this. I think I deserve answers to. Why tonight anyway?"

"I don't know, he just told me after school. Actually when you walked up. Didn't you hear him?"

"Nope." She looked confused for a little while before being relaxed again. "Super hearing to I'm guessing." I sighed. One more change to add to the collection.

"Probably."

"We don't have school tomorrow. Sleep over." She yelled excitedly. Nothing had changed and I was glad to find one similarity in the day.
