Can't Fight The Moonlight

Chapter 12

Things Get Even More Complicated

Harry was indeed right, the entire school knew by the time he walked in. He had left for school early, deciding he wanted to take a leisurely walk - he needed to think. He hated lying to his mother, but he knew it was the only way. Deep down though he couldn't help but think something would happen that would make Lily aware of the supernatural. He wondered briefly what she would think about him dating a vampire. He hoped she would be happy for him; he shook himself out of his thoughts and sighed with all the shocked looks he was getting. Really, they would think he had just announced he had incurable cancer or something not dating. He entered the lunch hall and sat down furthest away from everyone. Feeling very uncomfortable, there hadn't been this much gossip when he told his friends he was gay back at school in London.

He sneered angrily when he caught sight of Bella Sawn, being comforted by a few boys. He didn't remember their names, Mike, Cedric and somebody else. This was all her fault, he wondered briefly if he should just go home. He drank some of his coffee and tried to stop himself erupting venomous words to the stares he was getting. To top things off Jessica Stanley was making her way over. Harry hoped and prayed she wasn't going to sit - his hopes were dashed she sat down a curious but determined look on his face.

Harry refused to even look at her; both his hands were under the table. He didn't think he would be able to resist strangling her. Oh he knew what she was going to say before it left her mouth and he was ready to tear into her before she even spoke.

"Are you and Cullen really going out?" she asked snootily as if it was her right to know.

.X.X.X

"Hurry, Harry's going to do something stupid!" murmured Alice coming out of her vision.

"Damn" snapped Edward his car going even faster when he saw Alice's vision. The great thing about a vampire was even in a vision they could keep control of the car. Or should he say seeing a seer's vision he could still control his car.

Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie were frowning in concern at what might happen they didn't want to move thank you very much.

Edward practically bolted into the cafeteria leaving the engine still running. The worst thing was he was going fast enough for people to be suspicious. He relaxed though when he saw Harry was still sitting down and the table still intact.

"Calm down" whispered Edward into Harry's ear causing Harry to relax completely.

Jessica couldn't have heard, Edward had whispered it that low no human could have - Harry wasn't human now or at least not completely human. He had some traits of a vampire and Edward was desperate to find out why or how even more so than Carlisle and that was saying something.

"Leave" hissed Harry angrily. How he hated Jessica Stanley, he hated gossips more than anything. What's worse he hated people who thought they had the right to know everything.

"I suggest you do as he says" hissed Rosalie right behind Jessica.

Jessica shivered and stood up wide eyed, flinching away from the look Rosalie was giving her. She practically flew back to her table, trembling but not understanding why.

"Are you ok?" asked Edward once she was away.

"I'm fine…why?" frowned Harry.

"You would have lost your temper and broke the table" said Edward a hint of sarcasm entering his voice.

Harry paled at the implications of that, but didn't Edward say that Alice's visions weren't always certain? He must have been angrier than he thought. He had to be more careful from now on, he wasn't even aware of his own strength. Suddenly Harry felt very afraid; he was even scared to hug his own mother in case he hurt her.

"Don't worry we will teach you" said Edward soothingly, realizing perhaps sarcasm hadn't been the best thing to do. Harry was getting upset and worried now - and so he should be but he didn't like his mate fearful the Vampire in him rebelled against it wanting to smash out at the circumstances.

"Teach what?" asked Emmett sitting down quite comfortably in the chair acting human, twitching and moving about humans after all did not sit still.

"Harry to control his strength" said Edward.

"Oh, yeah I guess you will its fun" smirked Emmett.

Jasper scoffed and said "Yeah given the amount of furniture you ruined"

"When we are first turned, we don't know our own strength Carlisle had to teach us. It takes us about a year to rein it in, plus we want to learn anything we just constantly want to feed" murmured Edward quietly.

"Well at least I've avoided that one" said Harry laughing weakly.

"Don't worry if anyone can figure out what happened - it will be Carlisle he's very resourceful and smart" said Rosalie comfortingly.

"Thanks" said Harry smiling half heartedly at Rosalie obviously not having as much confidence in Carlisle as her.

Just then the bell went signally they had classes, groaning in distress he threw away his empty coffee cup and walked to class with Edward. What's worse he could hear all the gossip and he hated his new super hearing it sucked. Edward just laughed quietly at him and said at least he didn't have to listen to their thoughts as well. Harry had to concede that point … he was rather grateful not to have Edward's gift he shuddered at the thought of hearing them all day.

Needless to say by the time lunch came around, he immediately left the school and sat in a café drinking his coffee. Edward found him a few minutes later smiling almost sadly at him.

"I thought you were alright with it" sighed Edward sitting down looking at Harry a worried expression on his face.

"It's not just that Edward it's everything" moaned Harry hiding his face in his arms looking practically exhausted.

"I know" murmured Edward resigned shaking his head when the waitress drew in on him. Almost pouting she left them both alone, thankfully because Edward knew how close Harry was to snapping.

"Come on lets go" said Edward guiding him out and over to the school. Putting them into his Volvo before driving off back to his house. Harry and him obviously needed to talk. He felt his heart stutter to a stand still at the thought of Harry backing out now - after giving him hope that he would have his mate.

.X.X.

"Esme can you give me and Harry some privacy please?" asked Edward softly as soon as he entered the house.

"Of course" said Esme looking worriedly between both of them before slipping out. Getting into her own car she decided to do some shopping, and give them proper space.

"Harry if you don't want this you don't have to" said Edward firmly, even though he was close to breaking down and begging Harry to give it a chance.

"I don't know why I'm being like this…my angers getting the better of me…I'm feeling everything more strongly than usual" Harry tried to explain expecting Edward to not really understand him.

"Vampires do feel things more than a normal human…" said Edward letting Harry know just how much he understood.

"So my emotions are always going to get the better of me?" asked Harry incredulously.

"I think Carlisle should get your test results as quickly as possible" sighed Edward this situation was getting more complicated by the minute.

"Fantastic more needles" grumbled Harry, but he was feeling better that Edward wanted this sorted out as much as him. He didn't understand what was happening to him he was feeling more of a freak than ever.

"Don't say that about yourself…please" whispered Edward looking strained he didn't like that at all. His mate was unique not a freak and it rubbed Edward up the wrong way hearing his horrible thoughts of himself.

"Sorry Edward but its how I feel" sighed Harry looking ready to either burst into tears or punch something.

"We will get this fixed I promise" said Edward, but he wasn't as confident about that promise as he let on. All indications were that Harry had all traits of a vampire but was still able to eat normal food and drink. Never in his immortal existence had he seen someone or something quite like it.

Edward spent the right of the day soothing his mate, explaining things he felt were important. When the family got back he took Harry to his meadow and they continued to talk well into the night before he finally took Harry home.

Asleep in his bed late on Harry couldn't help but feel much better about everything that had happened to him. Edward had explained so much to him and everything made more sense. He understood everything Edward had went through, not completely of course - nobody could but he was beginning to see what happened as the best thing to happen in his life. If it didnt happen he may have not got to know the Cullen family the way he did.

His life wasnt perfect but at least for now he was happy.

Harry wasnt very manly in this story...help how do i fix it? gah but this had to happen eventually...everything was getting on top of him. The lying, the gossiping, his new life as some sort of mutant vampire, everything is getting on top of him and he's scared this is the only way i could write it. He didnt cry but he moaned about it becuase thats the only way he could process it. hes still human but experiencing emotions as a vampire...just wait till he starts getting posessive :P how would you like that? would you like to see a posessive Harry? what will his blood results be like? what do you think's happening to Harry? will harry go cold and his heart stop over time? will he ever be turned? can he be turned will he be forever like that? or will someone have information that will help him?
