A/N: I'm going out of town until Sunday evening. I will post then. Until them: ENJOY!!
When we got to the Cullen house, all the lights were off. There was a not on th table.
Children,
It said in beautiful scrip that could only be Esme's
Your father and I figured it was better to steer clear of the house for a while, so we have taken a week long trip to Paris with Tanya's family. Here is a small note from each of us for each of my wonderful, RESPONSIBLE children:
Emmett: Emmett, dear, please try not to break any of the furniture, or burn down the house. We've left the key to the closet with Edward and Bella, so if you break anything go to them. That means if we find anything, I mean anything out of place when we get home, you're not to sleep with Rosalie for 1 week.
Emmett groaned and the shuddered.
Rosie: I'm sure you are going to be good while we're gone, so all we ask of you is to keep an eye of your husband for us. We love you, Rosie, and I'm sure you can handle him .
Jasper: Please, control your emotions. Don't rile Emmett up, if you can handle that. We love you and we'll see you when we get home. Keep an eye on Alice, make sure she doesn't shop too much, please. We'd like to have some money to spend in Paris.
Alice: Sweetie, as your father said to Jasper, we'd like to have SOME money left to spend in Paris, so please, limit the shopping if you could, dear. We love you. Please, don't torture poor Bella anymore than is really necessary, sweetheart. See you in 1 week. I really hope she's still alive :)
I felt an immense gratefulness and love towards Carlisle right then.
Edward: Dear son, have a good time with Bella and I hope it works out for her to stay with you children I left Emmett's key in the usual place and feel free to call us if we run out of anything, we'll have it shipped. See you when we get home, son, and don't by any means let Emmett at the key.
Bella:
I was immensely touched they included me in their letter.
Bella: Please keep an eye on Edward and take care of yourself, I don't know what he would do without you. We will be calling nightly, not counting tonight and I will entrust you to be phone monitor. I have set it up, so that it needs a password to answer any call from Paris and the password is the price of pop tarts, which only you will know. We will give you a new password when we speak to yo, because they will rush off to the store and check the price, so… We will see you on next Saturday, and like I told Alice, I sincerely hope yu are alive! :)
XOXO,
Carlisle
Esme
"Yay!" Alice squealed. A Whole week. Quick. Everyone, make arrangements. That means you can tell Billy to invite Charlie on a week long camping trip and say Bella can stay with Jake….at the Cullens. Kylee and Embry, you can call home and say you're staying with Jake, Quil, you, too. Bella, you don't have to do anything, Charlie knows you're sleeping over. Ooohhh, This is going to be SO much fun! We're gonna all sleep in here!!"
"I guess, I can go home now…" Angela said.
""NO" Jacob said.
It got quiet for a minute before I quickly saved Jake. "We would love to have you saty….Jake especially". Angela blushed.
"Plus…"I said, taking a deep breath "We have some stuff to tell you". Alice looked sharply at me. I whispered about Jacob and Angela and she said "ohh…I guess it's okay, then. As long as the Volturii doesn't find out…"
I giggled "Such trivial matters" I joked.
Jacob was on the phone, Angela was on the phone, Quil, Embry, and Kylee were on the phone. And they all got a yes!! Yay!! Wow, now I was sounding like Alice.
"Now, I said, addressing the group, all in Pajamas. I was wearing a pair of short shorts and one of Edward's old band tee-shirts that I had stolen. I'm sure he didn't mind when I wore his clothes. He had expressed that to me many times. Alice was wearing a brand new Victoria's Secret pajama set (why she even bough pajamas, I have no idea.). Rosalie was wearing a blood red night gown, Kylee was wearing yet another set of P.J.s from Alice, and Angela, a set Alice gave me a while ago and I stuffed into my dresser in Edward's room. Jasper was wearing a pir of plaid Pajama pants and a white tee-shirt, Jacob a pair of dark blue sweats from Emmett and no shirt, Emmett a pair of green bottoms and a gray tee-shirt, Quil and Embry black tee-shirts and pajama pants from Jasper, and Edward a pair of Grey bottoms with an unbuttoned shirt. He was too perfect, it knocked me breathless.
"now" we all have a few things to tell Angela. I have no Idea how to do this, so I' just going to say it. I know you've probably noticed some strange things about the Cullens. For once, they never eat. Think back. When have you ever seen them eat ANYTHING?"
"Um…never" Angela said "Bella, where are you going with this?"
"You'll see. Anyways, also, have you noticed they always come to school on rainy days. Never on a clear day?"
"No. But now that you mention it…"
"Don't bother checking it, Ang, everything I say will be spot on".
"okay…"
"They're eyes. Have you noticed their color. It's so extraordinary. I looked up at Edward. "And beautiful, and dazzling, and exotic. Oh. Sorry. It's so unusual, and it changed to black occasionally. Right?"
"Yeah. I have noticed that"
"I did, too. Right away. Now, have you ever touched any of them?" I grabbed her and set it on Alice's tiny shoulder. "They're freezing. And hard. Like rock.
Also, you might have noticed things tonight. Things like Edward being able to tell what people think without them saying it or even implying it. Also, Alice can tell things before it happens. So…how does this add up? Ang, I want you to promise me you will begin with an open mind. Imagine the worst thing this could be leading to, and be ready for it."
Angela looked slightly scared. I would be, too.
"Angela, the Cullen's are—"
"Vampires" Edward finished "We're Vampires".
It was quiet for almost a full second, every eye was trained on Angela. Finally Jake said "Jeez, Ang, you're about to squeeze my hand off".
Suddenly, Angela burst out laughing. "HA! She said "Good one, guys!" That is SO funny. HA! You really had me for a sec".
"Angela," Jacob said quietly "They're serious. Look into my eyes. Do I look like I'm tricking you? Does it look like I'm joking?"
She looked dup at him, and whatever she saw in his face must've been truth because she looked at me, all the color drained out of her face.
"B-Bella" she said shakily "I-I though they were fake. I-I-I"
"It's okay, Ang. They're the same old Cullens. Goofy Emmett, headstrong Rosalie, crazy Alice, sweet Jasper, gentlemanly Edward. Just in vamp form." I turned to Edward and added quietly "Do your shock thing, Mr. Medical Degree" He quickly got up and went to the kitchen, returning with a bottle of water and a loaf of French bread. He tore off a piece and cracked open the bottle and handed to Angela. She recoiled and he turned, a resigned expression of his face and handed it to me. I gave her the bottle and she drank deeply. I handed her the bread and she ate hungrily. We sat there in silence for 30 minutes while she ate. She came out of phase 1: shock and denial and then phase 2 came: interrogation. She asked all sorts of questions "Do they sleep in coffins? Why can they came out during the day? Why doesn't he eat us? Why do his eyes turn black? Why are they so pretty? How did he become a vampire? How old was he when he did?" I answered them all patiently with a little help from the Cullens, and finally phase 3 came along: acceptance.
Okay, guys, let's play!" she said enthusiastically, a good 2 hours later.
"Should we tell her?" I asked Jacob.
"Tell me what?" she asked, enthusiastically.
"Yeah. Nothing will shock her after that!" he replied.
"Wanna bet?" Emmett asked.
"Emmett, NO" I said sternly.
"Tell me!" Angela said. "I can take it".
"Well. Right now. You're sitting in the arms of a werewolf"
Okay, maybe she was stronger than we gave her credit for.
"A very sexy werewolf" she said, kissing him on the nose. Jacob looked positively over the moon. "and let me guess, Quil, Embry, and Kylee are werewolves, too?"
"Not me" Kylee spoke up for the first time in hours.
We can form the human club" I joked, referring to her, Angela , and myself ",We're the week ones".
We all giggled at that. Okay. Alice said, appearing out of nowhere with a root beer bottle.How the cullens have root beer in their house, no one knows
She set it on the table. And spun it. It landed on Jacob.
"Edward" he challenged "Truth or Dare?"
A/N: uh oh. Poor eddie poo. What will he pick?! I guess we'll have to see!! See you guys Sun. and I hope to have 100 MORE REVIEWS!! :)
