I decided to post this now since I'm up to chapter 15 in writing. But then I got distracted when a whole new fanfiction idea popped in my head that I'm going to post maybe after the sequel to this. Note: What Lays In The Forest will be a Trilogy. My new fanfiction idea is a story of Rosalie's vampiric life from getting saved by Carlisle to Bella. Love it or Hate it? Tell me if you'd like.

I sat at the side of the house and nobody came out to get me. They were probably letting me cool off. I didn't over react, did I? Either way, I'm not going home. There's no way I am. I'm happy here and I don't want to leave. The Cullens have been so nice to me for the most part and I don't want to leave here. It would be horrible to go back now. I don't know how Renee and Charlie would react. They would lock me away and never let me out or something like that. I'd be like Rapunzel trapped in the tall tower without the super long hair.

I grumbled until I saw three people walking up to the house. Nobody comes out here. The Cullens house was in the middle of the forest, nobody wanted to come out here. Who are they? There were two males and a small girl who was about my age. They looked at me strangely and I just stared at them. How rude am I. The girl began to whine to the black haired male, "It's not working, Aro. Why isn't it working?" They now were right infront of her and the one named Aro patted the girl on the head then touched my arm. His skin was chalky and very pale and his touch wasn't any better. I felt scared for some reason. I didn't feel safe around them. He looked at me strangely and I looked away not wanting to make eye contact with any of their red eyes.

Edward came outside as if he had sensed it and stood in front of me. Even though I hated him right now, I was happy to see him. I felt protected but I didn't want to feel that with him. I leaned my head against his back and started breathing deeply to calm myself. He didn't seem to notice. Aro started to talk to Edward, "Why are you protecting her? She's only human." I wasn't sure what happened but there was silence for awhile until Aro said very amused, "Oh, she's your soul mate." I'm his what?

I'm Edward's soul mate. What? This is ridiculous.Did he know this? Oh my gosh, he did! Edward knew this the entire time and didn't care to share this valid information with me. I'm here, feeling stupid for liking him and now I find out we're destined to be together. Now that I think about it, everyone knew. That's why they were all acting so weird. That's why Rosalie started to be nicer to me. Why Emmett winked at Edward that one night. Why Alice and Jasper laughed at me...us that other night. They knew that Edward and I were meant to be. This is so weird. My breathing becomes faster again and I started to sweat. Please don't let me hyperventilate now.

Edward noticed as he always does and wraps an arm around me so I'm even closer to him. All seemed better with his touch and all I could smell was his nature-like musk. I wasn't sure what Edward was doing right now that his secret was revealed but I was happy as can be. Edward and Bella, Bella and Edward, Bella Cullen, now I sound like an obsessed girl. I feel like one of those girls who has love a celebrity all their lives and then out of nowhere, they love you back. It's like Romeo and Juliet with a happy ending. I was overjoyed.

I heard the door open and move my head that was still on Edward's back to see it was Carlisle. He looked angry, "What are you all doing here?"

An unfamiliar voice spoke and I assumed it was the blonde haired guy, "Well we just came to visit but instead we found something interesting."

Aro hushed him, "Shhh... Cauis. Carlisle, old friend, we came to visit as he said and well we happen to find a human child here. What are you doing Carlisle?"

I try to subtly peek out from behind Edward but the girl sees me and smirks evilly at me. I whimper and go back behind Edward. Aro asked, "Bella, can you come out here for a minute?" I didn't want to move but Edward pushes me forward a bit. Aro smiles at me and questions, "What do you know about the Cullens?"

With all attention on me, Edward shakes his head no and I some how understood what he meant. Maybe there was really something to this soul mate thing. I started, "Well they are my friends and they took me in when I ran away from home." I didn't lie; I just skipped over some parts. I'm not a good liar at all so if this takes a wrong turn, I'm going to be very sorry. Then he asked something I knew I couldn't answer straight, "Do you know what they are?"

I stammered and took a deep breath, "They're humans."

They all stared at me and were trying to dissect everything I said. They so knew I was lying. I stared at my feet scared of what would come next. Why couldn't I be a good liar? I remember when I broke a lamp which happened to be a major family heirloom. Renee seemed to know it was me right away. Well I did avoid the area and lied to her about it all day. I'm defiantly not subtle in anyway. She wasn't that mad though at least Renee didn't appear to be. She told it wasn't my fault and that the lamp wasn't that nice anyway but I knew better. She had the thing polished once a day for crying out loud.

Aro, Cauis and the girl kept glaring at me and I was relieved when Carlisle told me to go inside. He smiled at me but there was worry glistening in his eyes. I began to turn when I felt a cold hand grasp my shouldeur rather roughly. A growl erupted from Edward's chest. I was turned around with so much power I nearly fell over. Thankfully Edward was there to catch me. He set me back up straight and Aro said, "She's lying." He was so plain about it. I think it scared me more than if he had yelled at me. Did he not care?

Note to self: Why me? What have I done to be interregated by random vampires? Oh ya, I ran away from home. Why is karma suck so bad?

So I'll probably post chapter 13 when I get to at least chapter 17. If I run out of prewritten chapters and I have to write on the spot, my writing usually sucks so I won't write a sucky chapter for you guys. :D

Preview for Chapter 13:

I can't really post a preview without spoiling anything in the chapter. Though I'll tell you this.

-Something from the books happens. (I'm so unoriginal. lol)

-Bella being stubborn...again...what a surprise.

-Bella forgets something important.
