Belated Thanksgiving guys! This chapter is small but i hope you like it. I just finished my exams and there are tons of homework to be done. But i'll make sure to post very soon.
Review guys!
I shifted from one foot to another and weighed my options. I could go to the library or search in the internet upstairs. But Rosalie was there, currently checking her inbox.
Sighing, i got inside the car and drove to the town's only library. Forks didn't offer many libraries and the nearest famous library was 4 hours ride and i most definitely can't waste time.
What Edward said confused me. When he left me in the kitchen, i felt confused and even more longing for him. I didn't understand this crap. The way he made me feel inside. Like i was going to burst any moment. My insides tingled just by thinking about his name.
Was i crushing on Edward? No, definitely not.
I had passed that crush stage long ago. The feeling that burns inside me is unbearable, almost suffocating. Electricity sparks whenever he is near. Whenever he touches me.
Not wanting to get into an accident, i shift my thoughts from him which is very difficult. I wondered what Rosalie was doing now. Was she thinking about where i have went? I had left a text saying that i was going out and will not be at home till 7:00.
I parked the car in the almost empty parking lot and got out swiftly. Pulling my bag over my shoulder, i entered the library. I had to know what Edward was. Or atleast that was what he had requested me. I had time till tomorrow.
The old lady at the reception looked at me from her book and smiled.
"What can i do for you, chéri?" She asked, pushing her glasses down.
"Um, i need books that talk about mythical creatures." I said, chewing my lips. I felt like a total idiot. She would be probably wondering whether to call the asylum or not.
"Its in the 4th aisle, mon enfant."
"Merci." I said grinning and walked fastly to the aisle.
The top row had those books which talked about mythical creatures, i took an armful of books and sat on the nearest chair. Some books were really silly stating even about incubus. I blushed and closed that book. The other book's name was 'The Cold ones'.
Intrigued, i opened the book and held my breath. It talked about vampires and i wrinkled my nose. Vampires? Was Edward an vampire?
I wanted to scoff but instead, i chose to read the book. Many parts in the book matched the Cullens perfectly and slowly i began wondering if indeed they were vampires.
The coldness, body's hardness and strength. Everything fit. But there was only one thing left and i hoped it won't fit.
The red colour of their eyes.
I flipped through the pages and my breath caught in my throat when i read the passage at the bottom of the page.
I closed the book with a whoosh of my breath and stared at the table unseeingly. Edward is a vampire, his entire family is! The Cullens drink humans blood and i am mortified by it. I can't even imagine Edward's innocently beautiful face sucking blood of a dead human or worse a human girl.
Was he the one who killed Mike?
I blinked when i heard someone calling my name. I looked up and saw Rosalie standing there with a concerned look on her face.
"When you leave a message, you should have the habit of mentioning where you are going! Library was the last place i expected to find you. What are you doing here? What the hell are those books you're reading?"
She placed her hands on either side of her hips and glowered at me.
"R-rose, i have f-found out w-what the Cullens are..." I whispered.
"What?" Rosalie asked as her face changed then she took the book i was holding and read the passage aloud.
"When the cold ones feed on humans, their eyes turn a bright red colour, but when they feed on animals, their eyes turn golden..."
She froze and her blue eyes widened in shock and fear.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I know that the Cullens won't hurt us." I assured her knowing that my words were honest.
"I-i don't know what to say..i-" She paused looking lost for words as she stared at me.
"We should go home." I said getting up and hooked my arm through hers. She had drove here so she left in her car and i in mine.
By the time we arrived at our house, it was 7:15 and was dark. The porch lights were off and i wondered if the Cullens were inside. Frowning, i flicked on the lights on our way with Rosalie. I was right. The house was empty.
"I'll call you when the food's ready. You need some alone time to digest the secret." I said as i slipped inside quietly the kitchen.
Rosalie shook her head and followed me looking stubborn. She sat and watched me while i cooked.
"So you are accepting what the Cullens are." She stated, her eyes hard.
"Yes, i am. You have to face the truth one day, Rose." I added some salt to the chicken and set it in the microwave.
"I know. It's just weird. After i saw your text, i went downstairs and saw Edward talking with the rest of the Cullens looking all grave and sincere. They just stopped talking when they saw me. I still remember how Emmett looked at me."
She shuddered delicately and wrapped her arms around herself.
"How did he look?" I asked folding my arms across my chest.
"He looked at me with fierce determination and confidence. And something else too. It was really weird." She clarified, sighing dramatically.
I took a deep breath and stared at her. Was she hiding something from me? I scanned her face but nothing looked wrong. I was the one who was hiding. I wasn't planning on telling her about my meeting with Edward tomorrow at the clearing.
Rosalie was silent when we ate then left quickly for bed. I stared at her curiously then finally went to my room.
After going through my night routine, i climbed into my comfy bed and pulled the blanket till my neck and tried my best to sleep. Even though my insides were too busy to sleep.
I was going to meet Edward at the clearing tomorrow and confront him about the vampire part.
