Hi,
OK, so first off, thanx for all the reviews, you guys are the best. Well done to Casey!!:D88 and MrsJasperHale23 for working out that it means Vampire and Romance novels, but anything with vampires is good to me.
Any suggestions?
Also, just to give you the heads up, I'm going to be attempting to write three stories at the same time including this one, so I may not be able to update as regularly. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. (I couldn't resist adding in that line, I always find it hilarious :)
Here we go, It's question time…

The walk back to the Cullen's house was really awkward. I didn't bother asking why they hadn't taken a car, I knew the answer to that- they had run here. Besides, a normal human would just think that since it wasn't that far a distance, they had chosen to walk there. I longed to run, and I knew they did too. However, we continued to act as if everything was normal and human. We both knew that nothing was normal about this situation, but anyhow, we ignored the obvious and walked in utter silence back to their house. Alice had tried to start some conversation, but everyone was acting so hostile that even she eventually gave up.
I wasn't completely sure on what to do. I knew that I had to let them explain what happened, it was the best way to look clueless. I was curious on what exactly they were going to tell me though. In a way it didn't matter- whatever they said, I was still going to kill them. It was what all my instincts shouted at me to do and eventually, it would be done. I had the upper hand because I knew what they really were. They had probably never even heard of me.
A plan was slowly forming in my head. I had to get them to tell me the truth and tell me that they were vampires. When that happened, I would have all the cards in my hands. I could get to know them, get them to trust me and get them to tell me more about themselves. We might have a high knowledge of vampires but there was still a lot we didn't know about them which could come in useful. When I had finished with them, I would dispose of them like yesterday's leftovers.
Eventually, we reached a clearing in the forest. When we walked through it, we got to the house. It was the most breathtakingly beautiful house I had ever seen. It was huge, no doubt, with very subtle colours. We walked in and the surprise continued. All the colours were continuously subtle. All the furniture looked antique and the whole house just shouted class. What kind of vampires made a home for themselves like this? "Well this is our home," I heard Carlisle announce.
"It's stunning!" I answered sounding generally surprised. "I wasn't expecting something so… extravagant!" I added.
"Well-this is really the only place we can be ourselves" Was that a hint I just heard? "I'm quite sure you want to have everything explained to you so, make yourself at home and we'll do our best to answer any questions."
I walked into their living room and sat down on the plush couches. There was a minute of awkward silence before Edward spoke up. "What did you see exactly… in the forest?"
"I thought I was the one supposed to be asking questions" It was probably a very rude comment but it was supposed to be spoken in a joking sort of manner. Well I'd let them work that out.
"Just answer that question. The rest are yours," he answered softly. His voice was velvet like, and had a very soothing effect. For a second, I honestly considered answering.
"I think it's my right to ask questions right now. You can get yours later," I put extra emphasise on the you. I didn't need to make it harder on myself to get them to tell the truth. I looked around the room and it seemed that although they looked grim, they were silently agreeing. "Who was that girl and… what was she?" My voice trailed off and my gaze travelled around the room, looking at each and every one of them. It seemed that they were silently communicating to each other. My gaze caught Edward's and I was temporarily mesmerised. His eyes were beautiful, the colour of butterscotch, a big improvement on the blood red colour I had first seen on him. He smiled a hesitant smile at me and my breath caught, I quickly answered it, then I turned away.
"Her name was Victoria," I suddenly heard Carlisle speak up. I turned to him and nodded in agreement, to continue. "She was… a vampire." Well that was easy, they had gone straight to the truth, I guess they thought I wouldn't have believed it. I put my poker face on.
"Were all the rest of those people you were fighting, also…vampires?" My voice sounded skeptic. Perfect!
"Yes they were." It was Edward and he was sounding all matter of factly. "We're vampires," He spoke dryly, a crooked grin on his face. I wasn't completely sure how to act now. "Now, I don't mean to be rude but if you don't mind me asking, what is your name?" Edward was acting very polite. I couldn't help answering
"It's Isabella, but everyone calls me Bella," He smiled that crooked grin again.
"What a beautiful name"
"Can you guys just tell me the whole story because I'm feeling quite skeptic right now?"
"Very well Bella" It was Carlisle again "We are vampires, I'm sure you know what they are, although the tales tend to exaggerate things. Most of what they say is completely wrong. A while ago an- incident happened. It lead to the death of Victoria's mate. She wanted revenge on us and she therefore created a newborn army. An army of newly made vampires. She came to forks with it today and we had to kill them all before any more deaths could take toll. That's basically the story so, any questions?" Wow, what a summary, although very politely said.
"Two" Carlisle nodded his head for me to continue. "Number one: Do you drink blood? ... Number two: Are you going to kill me?"
I wonder what they are going to answer. They seem to be pretty good Vamps at the moment but everything isn't always as it seems. Review if you want to find out what happens next. By the way, sorry I couldn't get this chapter up sooner but I couldn't upload anything onto the site :(
