Chapter 11
Kyle's POV
"Now Kyle," said Zelda, "I've given my dad reasons for the changes to you."
"And those are," I asked.
"Well I memorized them; so quiz me."
"Alright; the reason my… ailment is gone."
"Carlisle finally found a way to treat the sickness."
"The reason I have ice-cold pale skin?"
"The treatment requires you to stay out of the sun and take many, many baths in ice water."
"And the change in eye color?"
"You've been experimenting with color contacts."
"Alright then, you seem to have everything covered."
"Yep, I do."
When we got to her house, I slowed down and put her down. We started to walk together and hold hands. When we got in the house Zelda said, "Dad, I'm home; and Kyle's here too!" We walked through the house and into the backyard where Zelda's dad was setting up her trampoline. "Hi kids," said her dad, "I thought you were dead, Kyle."
"Yeah," I replied, "I thought I was gonna die too."
"But," said Zelda lovingly, "The important thing is that you didn't."
"Yeah, I guess." I helped Zelda's dad set up the trampoline; with me helping, it didn't take very long. "You must've been working out," said her dad.
"A little," I said. After the tramp was set up, Zel and I were bouncing away.
"You having fun," she asked, still bouncing away.
"Yesh, yesh I am." Why I said it like that I have no idea. Her dad was watching us bounce. I decided to do a flip; thanks to vampire coordination, it worked. "Yahoo," I shouted out in joy; bouncing was a ton of fun.
After Zelda and I were done bouncing, we went inside for dinner. Sure I was a vampire, but her dad didn't know that; so I had to eat even though I'd just end up barfing it all up later. The dinner was spaghetti and meatballs. It tasted good; for human food. "This is very delicious," I said politely.
"Why thank you, Kyle," her dad replied.
After dinner, Zelda and I went out for a walk. She grabbed onto my hand and I put my arm around her. I think I kind of ruined the moment there because then, I vomited out all the food I had eaten.
"Kyle," said a shocked Zelda, "Are you alright?"
"Nothin' to get excited about," I said, "Did I mention that vampires can eat human food; we just throw it all up later."
"No, you did not mention that."
"I think I should've mentioned that."
"I'm willing to forgive." She went up on her tiptoes and kissed me. I kissed her back; all this was happening while we were walking.
Paul's POV
"The human female appears to be the new Cullen boy's mate, brother," said my brother, Alexander.
"I agree, brother," I replied, "We have not attempted to do battle with the Cullens for a century now." We were watching the new Cullen boy—Kyle, I think his name was—and his mate on their evening constitutional together.
"I think it would make a most interesting game if we tried to drink the blood out of his mate brother," said Alexander, a maniacal ring to his voice.
"I agree brother," I said, "I agree."
