A/N This is a mixed chapter. A part of it deals with Rosalie learning more of the truth and another part of it deals with how she deals with this truth.

There is some intimacy in this chapter, but it's not more detailed than it was in Breaking Dawn, perhaps if there is enough demand I would do a M rated outtake for this to go into more details.

11. Questions and Answers

"So Questions" he started

Rosalie bit her bottom lip and studied her fingernails before raising her head to make eye contact with Emmett, she nodded.

Emmett waited for the questions, wondering what she'd start with, he'd already made the decision to be completely honest with Rosalie, no matter what she asked.

"Obvious question first, what the hell is James and his two friends?"

Emmett tensed at Rosalie's bluntness, he considered dumbing his answer down, but sensed she was in the mood for clear and concise answers.

"Vampires"

Rosalie frowned. "Don't joke Emmett, When I had my run in with them the first time it was daytime and i'm pretty sure i'd had pasta and garlic bread that day."

Emmett gave a belly laugh, but stopped when Rosalie's glare pressed home that she was seriously not impressed.

"Sorry... Rosalie, Vampires aren't what you've read in your books or seen at the movies, we don't sleep in coffins, we don't burn in the sun and we aren't averse to the smell of garlic."

Rosalie chewed at her bottom lip.

"We?"

Emmett's jaw tightened and his eyes narrowed.

"You're far too observant you know."

Rosalie just shrugged and repeated her question "We?"

Emmett nodded. "Yes I am also a vampire, but I am nothing like James and the other two."

Rosalie was confused, her brain told her she should be afraid and running for her life, but her heart told her that Emmett was still Emmett.

"He had blood red eyes, but yours are more golden, why is that?"

Emmett was amazed at how calm Rosalie was sounding, he hesitated a moment and studied her closer, her heart beat was steady and regular and gave no sign of fear.

"Me and my family aren't your typical vampire, we have an inside joke that we're vegetarians, we only hunt and feed off animals, we don't feed off of you humans, unlike James and the other two, hence our different eye colours."

"What would James have done with me if you hadn't stopped him, would he have tried to turn me into a vampire or just... drank from me?"

Emmett was taken aback by that question.

"I'd imagine he would have killed you and sucked you dry, but I … "

"What?" Rosalie snapped

"Rosalie, it was pretty clear that he wanted to enjoy your body before he did anything else to you and he seems pretty insistent on trying again."

Rosalie found herself wrapping her arms around herself at the thought of James being able to do anything to her body.

"How did you defeat the three of them, even with what you are, you were outnumbered. "

Emmett grinned

"After you banged your head and passed out I had backup arrive. Alice and Jasper helped."

Rosalie tried to picture Alice and her tiny frame being in any way dangerous.

"How did they know, were they following us?"

"Sort of..." Emmett hesitated "Alice has a gift, she can see visions of the future, she had already seen you being hurt, based on you coming to Port Angeles on your own, which is why I was so keen to be with you, which is why I tried to steer us onto the main roads and not in the back streets and alleys."

Rosalie grimaced.

"She saw him hurting me? Why didn't you just tell me?"

Emmett stared at Rosalie incredulously.

"Rose, if after only meeting you for a few days, I had told you that I was a vampire, but a good one and that my sister had visions of the future and saw you being rap... attacked and sucked dry of blood from a bad vampire in Port Angeles this weekend, can you honestly say you would have taken it in as calmly as you seem now? I'm no mind reader and I don't see visions of the future, but i'd be willing to bet that had I have said that you'd have thought I was a nutter and run away from me or called the police on me."

Rosalie started to protest, but then had to reluctantly agree that Emmett was right, she'd not have been able to be just told like that.

"So how did the three of you stop him."

"Jasper has a gift too, he can affect peoples emotions, he just gave James, Laurent and Victoria a heavy dose of fear and they ran away voluntarily, they wouldn't have gone far before the effects wore off, but we got you out of their as fast as we could and Alice could forsee that they wouldn't try again today, though I have no doubt that he won't try something again at some point."

Rosalie shivered at that thought.

"So you're whole family..."

Emmett nodded

"Even your father Carlisle, the new doctor?"

Emmett nodded and smiled.

"Carlisle has had many years to devote to medicine, his gift seems to be of resistance to the scent of blood and he is deeply compassionate."

"I see..."

A silenced filled the room for a few minutes and Emmett watched closely for any sign of reaction from Rosalie.

"Tell me what you are thinking" he pleaded.

"I am thinking that I should be scared of you and that I should be running away from you, but even after what you've told me I still like you, a lot more than I probably should."

Emmett couldn't help but smile.

"Alice told me that you'd be accepting and that this wouldn't change our path, but I didn't believe her."

"Our path?"

"Rose, for many years I have been alone whilst everyone in my family have had their partner, my mother, Esme, has been worried for me for a long time, I was once destined to be with Bella, but neither of us saw each other as anything other than a sibling, then she found Edward and I didn't think i'd ever find someone, but then I found you.."

Emmett flashed Rosalie a huge grin.

"... and how ironic that by the time I finally found someone I liked and they liked me that they would be human. "

Rosalie couldn't help but laugh at that.

"and how ironic that I find a guy that I like and don't feel threatened by and he's a vampire."

They both laughed together, but it was an uneasy nervous laugh.

"What happens now?" Rosalie asked

"That all depends on you, until James and the other two are taken care of you are not safe, but I will understand if you don't feel like you can cope with me and my siblings being at the school around you, if you want some space we will do it, but we will be around in the background keeping an eye out on you and keeping you safe."

Rosalie didn't like this talk of Emmett keeping away from her, her heart overruled her head and she found the best way to communicate her feelings with Emmett, no words could cover what she was about to do.

Rosalie launched herself at Emmett and kissed him passionately on the lips, he froze for a moment before responding in kind, Rosalie felt a burning sense of desire run through her and she kissed at Emmett hungrily as though she couldn't get enough of him.

Emmett adjusted them till he was laying down with his back on the bed and allowed Rosalie to take the lead, she straddled him and continued to kiss and caress him. She felt light headed and breathless and incredibly turned on, she held herself up by her arms and her head hovered over Emmett's.

In between panted breaths she whispered.

"Part of me knows this is wrong, but another part, a bigger part knows this is so so right, i've never wanted anyone in this way before and I want you so strongly... Emmett ... is it even possible, I mean i've never been this far with anyone before, let alone a vampire, I trust you Emmett and I want you. NO I need you, but is it possible?"

Emmett searched Rosalie for any signs of doubt, but couldn't see any.

"I won't lie to you, there is an element of danger to it, I could lose control, but I want this too, i've never been this far either, let alone with a human."

Rosalie didn't need to hear any more than that and started to shed her clothing, Emmett was entirely too impatient to take his off carefully and with a few careful tugs he'd ripped his T-shirt clean off and kicked off his trousers, Rosalie studied the contours of his body and Emmett felt a shiver down his spine as she ran a finger down his chest and down to his side and down his legs.

"Mmmm" he responded

"You take control Rose... it's safer that way"

Emmett pulled his hands above his head and let Rosalie take the lead, he responded to her instructions and did whatever she asked, they enjoyed each and every inch of each other and the pleasure they each felt was immeasurable, when they were done, Rosalie collapsed into Emmett's arms and fell into a deep sleep, Emmett lay their staring at the ceiling battling with the range of emotions that he was going through, he never imagined he'd have been able to experience that with Rosalie, but that was amazing, it felt so much better than he had imagined and she appeared to enjoy it completely, as she lay sleeping at his side his mind raced, he and his kind had no sleep, but for a change he was more than content just to lay there listening to the most significant sound in his world just now, the heart beat of Rosalie.

As the sun filtered through the unclosed curtains Rosalie's eyes flickered open, memories of the night before flooded back, her head still throbbed, but the pain in her head was the least of her worries, her whole body ached, but not in a bad way. She realised she was still laying next to Emmett, he wasn't moving and she couldn't hear his heartbeat or breathing, but as she focused on his chest her eyes were met with a confusing sight.

Emmett was... sparkling, she propped herself up on her elbow and shoulder and she watched on in awe as his chest sparkled like glitter, she looked up to his face to see him staring at her intently.

"Emmet... You sparkle?" Rosalie continued to stare at his chest. "I don't know if I should be impressed or incredibly freaked out right now."

Emmett couldn't help but laugh at that.

"This is why we don't go out in the sunlight, can you imagine what people would think."

Rosalie used her free hand to run circles around his chest and her eyes followed the patterns that they made.

As she was enjoying herself she heard Emmett gasp, as she searched his face and saw him staring at her arm.

"Emmett what's wrong?"

"I hurt you!" Emmett groaned.

"What? " Rosalie tried to work out what he meant, she felt fine, better than fine.

Emmett could see Rosalie's confusion and sighed.

"Go check the mirror Rose"

Emmett cupped his hands in front of his face and huffed.

Rosalie hobbled to the full length mirror and took in her body, her face was normal and just in need of a freshen up, her hair was a hot mess, but her arms, sides and legs were peppered in several bruises, some purple in colour, but others already yellowed, as she traced a set on her shoulders, she could see the pattern of the finger indents of Emmett's hand.

"Oh!" she giggled

"Oh!" Emmett snapped.

Rosalie turned toward Emmett and put her hands on her hips.

"Quit it Emmett, I had the most amazing night with you. Obviously not the bit where some nutjob vampire tried to attack me, but what we did last night was amazing and I loved every minute of it and I will not allow you to kill my buzz."

Emmett started to respond, but Rosalie cut him off.

"I meant what I said last night, I've never been with anyone like that before, several have wanted to and i've considered it, but none of them could get me excited, but you... what we did... That was amazing and whilst yes I have some bruises they don't hurt and they were more than worth it, so don't you dare go all emo over it!"

Emmett hesitated, he had a million and one emotions raicing through his head, but eventually he nodded his head and tried to smile. Rosalie wasn't convinced by his weak smile and she could see that he was still battling with his emotions.

Rosalie sauntered back towards Emmett and played with an errant strand of her hair, looking up at him, she could feel her cheeks heating up.

"Does it help if I say I want more" she said in a flirtatious voice.

Emmett battled internally, one voice told him not to be so irresponsible, but the other said that if she wants it and he wants it then why not. He went with the other voice.

"I'm all yours" he said.

Rosalie almost ran the rest of the way to the bed and quickly pounced back onto Emmett, he allowed her to take the lead again, doing his best not to grab at her arms or body this time, as they completed round two he felt on top of the world and Rosalie felt absolutely amazing.

The clock in the room ticked slowly as Rosalie sat up on the bed eating the room service they had ordered, Emmett just watched her.

"So, you don't eat normal food?"

Emmett shook his head.

Rosalie continued to eat, she was ravenously hungry. In between mouthfuls of her food she bombarded Emmett with questions.

"So why don't you drink from humans?"

Emmett grimaced "Well I don't want to be a monster."

"How many vampires do exist?"

"Hard to say for sure, but not many in the grand scheme of things, my family are one of only two clans I know that don't have the normal human diet."

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"How long have you been seventeen."

"A long time"

"Why are you so cold?"

"I think it's because the venom that runs through our veins rather than blood doesn't warm us up."

"How does someone become a vampire?"

Emmett hesitated, but reminded himself over the 'answer all questions rule he'd given himself.

"It's not easy, once a vampire bites a human and tastes their blood they get a sort of blood lust and often can't stop themselves from draining it all, but if a vampire bites a human and doesn't drain them of all blood and if their heart is still beating then they start a transformation whilst the venom takes over their bloodstream, it's a painful event and takes at around 3 days, but then they become a vampire."

"How come most wake up wanting human blood yet others like your family didn't?"

Emmett thought carefully about this one.

"We don't wake up not wanting blood, I can't lie to you that I didn't make... mistakes when I was first born, but I was very lucky that I had Carlisle. He helped me see a better way of life."

Rosalie hesitated.

"You said that Alice can see the future and Jasper can influence emotions and mentioned that Carlisle can be around blood but not be tempted and is compassionate, what about the rest of the family, do they have special gifts, what about you?"

"Edward can read minds, Bella has this weird shield thing which means she can sometimes share Edwards gift if she concentrates and she can block other gifts that are used against her. Esme is very maternal and I guess my gift is my strength, not every vampire has a gift though. "

"Why does Edward and Bella dislike me so much?"

"They are afraid that if I get too close to you and it turns out ending badly, then i'll put us all at risk of being discovered for what we really are."

"Ending badly as in I become your next meal?"

Emmett laughed darkly.

"Nice way of putting it, but yeah that's about right. That and they are worried that if you know the truth about us you may go and tell someone, it's sort of not allowed, you're not supposed to know about us."

Rosalie felt a little affronted that Edward and Bella could think so little of her.

"How can they judge me like that. I wouldn't tell anyone, I promise that."

Emmett grinned and nodded.

"I know you won't and don't worry about Edward and Bella, they'll come around soon enough..."

Emmett and Rosalie held each other for a long time, Rosalie's head was swimming, she couldn't quite comprehend everything that had gone on during the past twenty four hours, but she knew this much for certain.

Emmett Cullen was a vampire, he worked hard to deny his instincts, but part of him and she wasn't sure how dominant that part was lusted after her blood.

There was another vampire, entirely different to Emmett, who wanted her too, but his intentions were far from honourable.

She was irrevocably in love with Emmett and no matter how much her sensible side told her to run, she just couldn't do it.

After sharing a shower and packing their things Rosalie and Emmett made an agreement to travel to his house before she returned home to Charlie, given what has happened and Alice's visions he wanted his families help in working out what to do next.

Rosalie was nervous about this idea, but agreed, she sat on the bed and waited as Emmett called his sister.
