A/N *Peaks out from behind Jasper* Hi! please dont be mad at me! I know its been forever, and i said i was going to get better at this posting chapters thing. Writers block has been my worst enemy :'(. But here's a chapter for all of you that :) I just hope everyone knows that i love each and every one of y'all, those of you who read my story, and those who favorite it and follow it :)

Edwards P.O.V.

I could hear and see the others off in the distance, standing in the tree line, with Jasper sitting at their feet. I headed over at human pace, not sure how to start the conversation. When I got there, he wouldn't meet my eyes. I could hear the shame, and the thoughts of weakness for his earlier actions, anxiety for what was going to happen next, and fear that Aubrey would hate him, and leave for good.

"It wasn't your fault, Jazz. It was an accident." I said to him. He looked at me with confusion evident in his eyes. "You didn't just have to worry about your blood lust. You felt all of ours too, with the exception of Bella and Carlisle. No one blames you. I didn't exactly make thing better when I threw her into the table and the vases. That only made things worse."

Jasper shook his head. "It doesn't make thing much better. I know Aubrey suspects something of us, but this wasn't how I would have wanted her to find out. Me, attempting to attack her and drink her blood. She'll never forgive me."

"That's not true Jazz." Alice interjected. "I know it, Edward knows it, and Aubrey knows it. The rest of the family knows it. It may not be easy for her grasp right away, but remember; I saw her as one of us." She turns to head back into the house, and Jasper calls to her. "Alice… Tell her I'm so sorry." Alice turns with a small smile on her lips. "Of course."

Aubrey's P.O.V.

My question hung in the air like a thick smoke, as Carlisle stopped his work to look at me, and Bella looked at me in surprise. "So… you are. You are vampires." I say without an answer being given. "You would be correct." Carlisle says. "But we're not the vampires from old tales and the movies." He continued the work on my arm as I sat in slight shock. "I'll tell you what Aubrey," Bella said. "When Carlisle is finished with your arm, we can all sit down and talk. We can explain things more." She takes my hand in hers. "I'm sure you have lots of questions."

After removing the last of the glass from my arm, Carlisle proceeds to stitch me up. He does so in silence, as Bella continues to hold my hand, and my thoughts go wild. "Carlisle, how do you do it? How can you sit here and do that? Bella how are you the only one who didn't flee the room besides Carlisle.? How…" I roll out. "Slow down Aubrey. One question at a time." Carlisle chuckles. "I've had years and years of practice. I barely notice the scent anymore. You could almost say I've become immune."

"And as for me… The others always joke about how it's my gift, my ability to not be affected by blood. It's not like im not conscious of it, or that I don't smell it. But I can control my bloodlust. When I was new to this… Life, whatever it is that we vampires would really want to refer to it as, Edward and I went hunting for the first time. And during that time, I caught on to the scent of a couple hikers. And I raced after that, because it smelled so much better than the elk the family hunts. But Edward caught up to me, and I realized what I was doing. I held my breath, and ran away. And from there I learned to control it. And really we all have. That's why we all go to high school, and can be that close to humans."

"But, what do you mean 'gift'?" I ask. "Well, not every vampire has a 'gift'. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett and Rosalie don't have gifts, no extra abilities or things to use to their advantage. The rest of us do. Gifts are manifested from strong abilities from our human lives. Edward, for example was really good at reading people, which is how Carlisle believes he has the 'Mind reading' gift. Jasper was very influential, so he can influence the emotions of everyone around him." Bella explains to me. "Alice can see the future-" "So she was good at predicting things when she was human?" I interrupt Bella. She shakes her head sadly. "You could say that. No one knows what Alice was like before she became a vampire. She doesn't remember."She explains.

"I'll do my best to explain that when we all sit down." Alice says ,entering the kitchen. "You have a right to know everything Aubrey."

I looked down at the ground and nodded. My mind was trying absorb what it had already learned. Oddly enough, I wasn't scared knowing the Cullen's are vampires. I was positive what had happened was an accident; Jasper wouldn't hurt me, at least not on purpose.

"Is Jasper okay?"I ask. Alice leans against the island in the middle of the kitchen. "He feels terrible. This wasn't his idea of letting you in on the secret. Jasper thinks he may have destroyed his friendship with you." My head shot up. "I'm not mad! This doesn't change how I feel about him. It wasn't his fault." I say with conviction.

Carlisle wraps a bandage around the stitched up area, and pats my knee. "There you are, all better."I jump up, stumbling slightly from a head rush. "Great! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to take care of something." I say, practically running out of the house and running straight into a cold hard body. Arms catch me before i can fall., and pull me gently in. "We gotta stop meeting like this darlin'" Jasper murmured. "That's my line." I mutter, smiling.
