I'm pretty sure you guys didn't keep up your end of the bargain, but it was a hollow threat. I wrote the next chapter anyways.

Disclaimer: I own twilight and all of its characters or my name isn't Stephenie Mey- oh CRAP! My name is Emily.

Chapter 2-2

As soon as Rosalie had left, Edward was back in the room, his face composed. He rushed to my side and stared into my eyes.

"That was interesting." I groaned and his reaction was a sly smile.

"Come on, Bella, you know me better than that." I nodded. His face twisted into another emotion.

"Are you thirsty?" He asked softly. I thought about that for a moment. No, I didn't, I finally concluded. That was odd, though, since I was a vampire. Shouldn't there be this raging thirst for human blood? Shouldn't I be like Bree in the fire circle?

"No." I said firmly. "I'm not." He nodded, and now I was the confused one. He patted my head.

"Take a breath, Bella." I was astonished that I had forgotten to breathe all this time. I was cautious as I took a deep breath.

Suddenly, all my senses were alive and they brought a vengeance. I grabbed onto the bedpost and nearly broke it off. I instantly stopped breathing again, and the thirst was instantly gone. Now Edward was even more confused than ever.

"Carlisle!" He called and suddenly Carlisle was standing in front of the bed.

He looked at Edward and Edward looked at me.

"When I breathe, I'm thirsty, but when I don't, I'm not." Carlisle just stood there, looking abashed. He sat down on the bed.

"You aren't thirsty in the least bit when you are not breathing?" I nodded, and he sat there, confused. "Interesting." He said simply. "Regardless, I think its time to go hunting." I groaned.

"And Carlisle," Edward said. "She smells almost the same as before, just dulled a bit." Carlisle was shocked at these words.

"Bella is always the oddball in this family, I guess." He chuckled, but I knew he was as interested in the answer as I was.

Sorry that was such a short chapter. I will get a longer one out soon. That's what you get for not holding up your side of the bargain.

Until then.
