Chapter eleven

- They are... he dropped his eyes and suddenly became very intrested in his nails.

- Vampires.

I was frozen on my place, unable to speak as my mind went through the impossibility he just said. Vampires. Vampires. He had to be kidding me. I thought it over for a minute. If they were... vampires... how could they go to school? I mean, shouldn't they like... sleep in their coffins? I hadn't much experience about vampires, and wasn't an expert. But I did know they drink humans blood, so how could they live so close to Jonathan in that case? Jonathan. My Jonathan. The thought of him, risking his life, made me shudder. I looked at him, and spoke.

- Are you serious? He nodded. I inhaled, trying to stay calm. Vampires, he said?

- Like, real vampires? They drink blood? I asked him. He hesitated.

- Yes, but not the kind you're thinking of. They survive on the blood of animals, he said slowly, looking me straight in my eyes. Well that's a relieve.

- How could they like, be at school in days? Aren't they like sleeping in coffins? I was still shocked as hell, but when it was clear that they weren't intending on draining my loved Jonathans blood out I was pretty much... okay with it? I mean I knew they were something special about them, it weren't that shocking really.

Jonathan surprised me with laughing out loud.

- If I got a penny for every time I heard that, he laughed. I rolled my eyes.

- No, that's just a myth, he told me after calming down.

- Actually, they don't sleep at all, he then told me. I inhaled sharply. That was unexpected.

- Did I scare you? he then asked, suddenly perfecly serious.

- No, it's just... a little new, I assured him.

- So, your whole family is vampires? I tried to sum it up, but then he hesitated and told me:

- Ehm... not my whole family actually. I stared at him in shock, and he continued.

- Jacob is sort of an... werewolf. Well, really he is a shapeshifter, he said. I stared at him in horror.

- So when it's a full moon Nessie's boyfriend's a wolf?

- Ehm, no. He's a shapeshifter as I said, and he's only a wolf when he wants to, or when he's too angry to controll himself, he corrected me. I calmed down. It didn't sound as bad as what I had imagined in my head.

- So, there's nine vampires, one wolf and one human in the Cullen family? My second try to sum it up, but of course I was wrong.

- Nessie isn't really a vampire, either, Jonathan said, carefully.

- What is she then? A yeti? I said while trying to keep my voice from shaking.

Jonathan laughed at my joke.

- No, that would have been a lot of fun, but no. Actually, she's a half-vampire, he said. I noticed he seemed more comfortable around me now, having no secrets to keep.

- A half-vampire? How is that even possible? I said, and I was surprised to find that I was curious. This was a bit fun, despite that fact that I just found out my boyfriends family was made up by monsters. No, not monsters, I didn't really think that.

- Her mother carried her while being human. She almost died when she gave birth to Nessie, but her husband changed her into a vampire in time.

- Was her husband a vampire? I asked, interested in Nessie's story.

- He sure was, Jonathan said with a smile.

- So, her parents died, right? How did that happend?

- Who said anything about her parents died? They are still with her, he assured me with a confused expression.

- Nessie told me her parents died, and that she was adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife, I said in confusion.

- Ah, but that's just the story we tell to keep people away. Nessie's parents are Edward and Bella, he told me.

- Oh. Suddenly I understood why they did look so much alike. Happy for Nessie, I thought before I changed the subject to more urgent things.

- So if they are vampires, well the most of them, how can you live so close to them?

- They are not monsters. After years of training, they don't have any problems with being around humans. Maybe if would be good for you if we visited? he asked with a thoughtfull expression. I nodded, anxios to meet his family. They sure seemed interesting.

Alright, hoped this chapter lived up to any expectations you might had :P I am super thankful to any reviews! Again, lots of love to my readers.
