Okay…its really short… but it kind of needed to be its own chapter ennjoooyyy!

Chapter 10…. Understanding

Despite my strong urge to simply turn around and walk way from the cars I kept moving forward, half pulled by Edward's hand. I could see that he was disgusted, though curious to what they had to say, he masked his revulsion by ceasing to inhale altogether, a technique that I soon exercised as well.

As we moved closer to the five menacing figures I could feel tension begin to settle over us. When I looked over toward Emmett I could clearly see his fists clamped inside his pockets, his face appalled. My fingers were still intertwined in Edward's, which I had almost forgotten about, until be began to rub it lightly, as to calm me I'm sure. My newly acquired instincts and reactions were still relatively foreign to me; it was still so difficult to be near them.

We all stopped when we were about eight paces away from their small group, not saying a word, simply examining them from head to toe. They all seemed uneasy compared to our clever façade of calm. There was one mangy brown haired dog standing slightly in front of the others, giving the impression of leadership. After what seemed like hours of silence he opened his mouth to speak.

"We know what you are," he warned, his eyes a narrowing slit.

"I'm sure you do… just as we know you're not exactly the normal teenage boys…" Edward countered, calmly and smoothly...fully in control.

His serene composer seemed to irritate the group of hideous animals. "This is a small town, what do you think will happen if people just start to disappear You think we wont hunt you You think that we are just going to stand aside You…." He stopped abruptly and pressed his violently shaking hands tightly against his temples, crouching slightly.

"Watch yourself there, you might want to keep yourself under control don't you think we're not the only ones in this town with a secret now are we your just as menacing as we are…" Edward was still calm, his eyes appearing almost bored, but I knew better. Edward was good, but I knew his game all to well.

"Don't you dare compare us to you! We protect people! You horrid bloodsuckers kill them! We are nothing like you!" His barked at us, furious, his entire body viciously shaking.

"We do no such thing, you know nothing about our kind, nothing about our family. Just because we have been dealt certain cards doesn't mean we have to play them… don't assume the things you have no knowledge of." Edward was now serious, his eyes fierce. "Has one person gone missing in the time that we have been here" he already knew the answer to this question of course. "Our diet seems to be much different than what you believe."

All five boys were at a loss of words, staring intently at the six of us, suddenly unsure of what we were. "What are you?" the brown haired boy finally hissed quietly.

"Oh I believe you know the answer to that… you just are under the wrong impression of who we are. We are the Cullen family, and we like to refer to ourselves as vegetarians. Though animal blood isn't quite as…alluring… it suffices. Now if you'll be so kind as to excuse us…" Edward said slightly menacing. "We will be leaving now." The six of use sauntered around them and slammed our car doors in their astonished faces. That "conversation" obviously hadn't gone as they had planned.

From my place in the passenger seat of Edward's sleek car I was mere feet away from the leader of the pack. As we began to glide out of the parking space, I caught his eyes; they were guarded, though underneath that they were slightly curious and what seemed to be… frightened. It was then that I realized that we had just turned their lives upside down, the way Edward did when he met me. Before I looked away from his bright green eyes I softened my expression and sighed, and nodded ever so slightly, as if to say that I understood. Unsurprisingly he looked immensely more confused than before, cocking his head slightly to the side. Though what did surprise me was that he nodded back, making an effort not to be noticed by the rest of the dogs. We were both young, both new to these games… but we understood each other…I almost sympathized for him… almost, I thought as I grabbed Edward's smooth hand and pulled him closer.
