"You're a vampire."
Chapter Fourteen- Bloodsucking Monsters
Bella
Oh great. He just had to bring it up now?
I knew that Edward Cullen was going to confront me about the situation someday, but I didn't think he was dumb enough to say it loud and proud in public, at a park, with lots of other students.
So I glanced around, listening. Nobody seemed to have heard him, so I had a moment of relief. But then it came to the fact that I was supposed to talk back.
"Um," I thought for words. "Can we talk about it somewhere else?" He stared.
"Yeah, sure." But Edward just stood there. I waited. He stood.
"Okay…?"
"Oh! I know just the place! Follow me." He smiled. I had to say, that smile was as sweet as the smell of his blood –in which I was still trying to get accustomed to- but then I remembered that Edward was a player, so he probably rehearsed that smile in the mirror. So then I frowned in disgust.
He started walking towards the other side of the park, where there were less people. As we strolled along, him the leader, I following, I noticed that people were staring at us. Staring, staring. As in, 'I don't care if anyone sees me staring, it's just too interesting' staring.
And I was pretty uncomfortable.
So Cullen got another girl…
Edward Cullen is such a player! Eww…
Bella Swan. Never knew she was the type for Edward…
Now, those thoughts made me a lot tenser, so I had to block them out of my head, just to relax a bit, but those were still stuck in my head. Edward must have taken a lot of girls to where we were headed.
I passed Rose. She didn't notice me, but she was talking with another girl, Patricia, or so Rose said.
As we went on, the number of students was dimming, and when we finally made it to the forest wall, there were barely any people around.
"Okay, we just have to follow this path," Edward said, pushing an overgrown bush aside.
"It's fine; we could just talk here." The place was private enough.
"No, I wanna show you something." Okay, whatever, Pushy.
He finally untangled the branches and opened up the dense underbrush to show a small, leafy path.
"After you," Edward said politely, gesturing towards the pathway. I rolled my eyes, but went in anyways. He followed behind me as I pushed through the forest. Actually, I basically had no idea where I was going, even though I had that vampire radar.
So I stopped at turned around.
"Uh, I don't know where I'm going, so can you lead?" Edward did nothing but nod. I made space for him to cut through, so he squished through.
I decided to find out what Alice was doing, since looking at trees was just so exciting!
Apparently I came just when she was having a vision. Coincidences!
"So, you're a bloodsucking monster or what?" Edward asked Bella. She shook her head, and said something, but the words weren't recognizable, because the vision was going away.
Okay, so that was really short…
Watch out, Bells… Alice told me cautiously. I shook the thought away, and snapped back to reality. We were heading for a clearing, and it was coming up soon.
Edward
We finally made it into the clearing, and I stood aside for Bella to see the view. I heard her gasp, but I didn't want to turn around, away from the clearing.
I took Bella to the meadow , that place where I hid to relax a bit. Okay, so maybe I've also taken a lot of other chicks there, but they were for different reasons.
"It's… it's amazing," Bella sighed, so I finally turned around to see her face.
Her beautiful face.
Her beautiful, vampire face, along with the rest of her body and mind and whatnot.
God, Edward, get a hold of yourself!
"So, uh, is this private enough?" I asked her casually, like nothing was wrong. But everything was wrong! Bella's a vampire, and her sisters are also probably vampir-
Just shut up, Edward!
Note from body to mind: You're going crazy.
"Yeah," she replied, so I just sat right down. She followed my example.
"So, you're a bloodsucking monster or what?" I got right to the point. She stared, silent for a moment, then shook her head.
"Well, er…" she hesitated, her mouth trying to find words. Bella finally sighed, a sign of surrender. "Well, not really 'bloodsucking monster'; the word vampire is enough for me," she said, looking away. Wow. I didn't think Bella would confess so soon, but whatever.
So Bella was really a vampire, and that means she's not human, and she drinks… blood.
I shuddered.
"Wait, what about your sisters? Are they really your… sisters?" She sighed again.
"Technically, no, they aren't my sisters. And yes, they are also vampires. What would you think, a vampire living with humans?" I chuckled.
"Well, you are living among humans right now, you know, having a private conversation with one right now?" She smiled, such a beautiful smile.
I must really be falling in love.
With a vampire.
Oh God.
"I would've never thought about talking about me being a vampire to a human, especially not you," she said smoothly, brushing a pale hand over her brown hair, "But, you know, nothing's impossible."
"Yeah, like vampires." She laughed.
"So, vampires…" I smiled wryly. "Do you have any, you know, uh… coffins or stuff in you room?"
"No, and I do take pleasure in skulls or interact with bats," she reassured, and I laughed. She frowned. "You seem to have forgotten about one important thing for vampires."
"Oh yeah…" I gulped. "Uh, do you, um, drink… blood?"
"No vampire can escape from that quality we have to take." She nodded grimly, twiddling a flower in between her fingers.
Do I dare say it? I do dare.
"E-err… human blood?" She laughed. I didn't understand. Why would somebody laugh about this type of situation?
"No!" I breathed a sigh of relief. But wait, what then? "I drink animal blood, you know, deer and stuff like that. Didn't you once see my sisters and I drinking some, you know, from our window?" Oh, right, on the first day of classes. She giggled. "You know what's funny? We had to drink some because you and your brothers smell delicious." Now that made me shiver head to toe.
"Um… what?"
"Oh, I'm sorry! I thought that would be a compliment to humans, for their blood to smell good to us vampires; I guess not. Whoopsies." I still wasn't that positive. "I mean, I've got used to you now, so I've fine."
I was a still a bit uneasy.
"So, uh, anything else?" I asked. Vampires are pretty interesting, if you ask me.
"Would you want to know anything else?" Actually, I think I had enough for today.
"I think I had enough for today," I said my thoughts. Bella laughed, and I furrowed my eyebrow. "What?"
"Oh, it's nothing," she giggled.
"What is it?" If you knew me, you would know that I'm pretty stubborn.
"You got that right." That made me even more baffled. It was like she was reading my mind or something, then replying back by talking. "Bingo! That's it!"
I gaped.
"What do you mean?" She smiled mischievously. "You mean, like, you can read minds?"
"Yep." It took me a while to recollect my thoughts.
So, Isabella Swan is a vampire, and not only that, but she can read minds.
Oh God.
"Wait, can every vampire read minds?" I asked. Please, please no.
"Nope, only me."
"Anything else?"
"Ehh…"
"What, can you also see the future?" I scoffed sarcastically.
"Nope, that's Alice." I gaped again.
So, Bella can read minds, and Alice can see the future? This is too weird.
"Well, what about Rosalie?"
"Eh, she's only beautiful. Maybe that's her power: inhumane beauty. I wouldn't care for that, but I guess you and your brothers do." I turned a bit red at that.
"Er-well-not always-uh," I stuttered. She giggled.
"It's not your fault. Every boy is like that." So what, is this a teenage boy therapy session now? "It is not!" she scowled.
"Oh, uh, sorry…?" I almost forgot about her… reading abilities.
"Okay, is that basically what you wanted to say or what?"
"Well, does every vampire have a special 'power'?"
"No." Whew… that's good.
"Okay, now I'm good." She nodded. I laid back, and looked up into the sky. "So… what do you wanna do now?"
Narrator(!!)
Let's go see what Rosalie and Alice are doing!
Rose
"No, Patty, pandas can't be green," I told her. Somehow, this idiotic –but nice- girl was thinking that some lame black and white bear was green. How color blind is she?
"I think not." I sighed. Patricia still refused to think otherwise. And as stubborn as I was, her persistence level was higher. But what am I to say about that?
Alice
How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Wow, that's such a hard tongue twister. It makes me dizzy.
I repeated the phrase again in my head as I wandered around the park.
Jeez Louise, there's nothing to do here!
How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Bella
"That one looks like a bunny." I looked at what Edward was pointing to.
"Yeah, a decapitated bunny, maybe," I giggled.
"Well, sorry that I can't control what shape clouds form in… Oh! Look! A dragon!" I have to admit, that cloud does look like a dragon.
What am I doing here?
"So, is there anything else to do than watch clouds?" I asked. He pondered on the thought, then shook his head.
"Nope." I sighed.
"Isn't there anything?"
"Nope."
"Any. Thing."
"Nope."
"So, no other stuff?"
"Nope."
"And you won't care if I ditch you?"
"Nope."
"Well, then, see ya." I got up to leave.
"See y- HEY! Wait a sec!" I laughed. Edward grabbed my hand. "Don't leave me here," he whined.
"Well, unless you find something else to do, I'm gonna leave."
"Eh… we could always make out." I slapped his hand.
"Either I should be really disgusted, or that was a really bad joke," I scowled. He chuckled.
"What do you think?" Edward got up, and moved closer to me, emerald eyes smothering. I rolled my eyes, and began turning around. What an egoistic, insensitive, disgusting brat.
Okay, so maybe that could be a bit much, even for Edward Cullen.
But still.
"Wait," Edward laughed. Apparently something was funny to him. "I was just joking!"
"So you do this to every girl you like. Remember? 'I guess… I kind of like you…" I mocked, regarding to what he said earlier. He turned red, then purple, then red again.
"W-well…" he stuttered, "I take it back! Who would like an inconsiderate bloodsucking monster like you!"
I narrowed my eyes and stormed away, fuming.
Okay, so, a few notes about this chappie:
1. I was sad that I was using Bella's POV too much, so I'm sorry about using too much this time...
2. I'm also sorry that I haven't used Jasper's and Emmett's POVs -too all you J and Em fans out there...-
3. I'm sorry that I've used two Twilight references... Find them!!
4. I'm sorry that the end of this chapter was really quick; Bella got mad really fast...
5. And last but not least... BREAKING DAWN CAME OUT TODAY, 08.02.08!! EEK!! Technically I haven't reserved a book to buy for myself, but sooner or later, I'll catch one!!
