Chapter 14- Only Half the Secret

A few of you liked Edward POV and asked me to do more of Edward POV. I not really planning on put any more Edward POV until the end but, there is a chance I may do a few Edward POV if I think it's necessary. Which means there is a possibility I may do a few along the way. I just thought you needed to know a little bit, of what was going on in Edward's head.

I do not own Twilight or any other the character. Stephenie Meyers owns it.

I was still half-asleep when I heard voices in the room; they sounded very familiar. "How is she?" A male that sounded like Edward murmured in a low, dull voice.

Edward? Could it be him? Oh, no, please don't tell me I'm at the Cullen's. I listened more since I couldn't move or do anything, for that matter.

"She has a little concussion and a cold from walking in the rain but other than that she is fine." A male said.

"Edward, you better tell her when she wakes up. She needs to know." said a guy that was with Edward.

"I know, Carlisle." I heard Edward sigh, feeling him sit right next to me. "I'm just afraid she'll run like she did before and next time, I may not be able to find her." Edward whispered the last part.

"Edward, I know you don't want to tell her but, she needs to know." Carlisle urged.

"I will tell her." Edward said, rubbing his cold hand against my arm.

When he did that, I felt a rush of electricity going through my body and I was surprised that I didn't jump. After a few seconds, I heard someone come in.

"Edward, you need to hunt," a girl ordered.

"I don't need to hunt, Alice." Edward argued, still rubbing his hand against my arm.

What did they mean by hunt? With every sentence, my confusion grew bigger and bigger.

"Edward, you haven't hunted for weeks." Alice pointed out.

"I don't need to." Edward protested; I could hear anger in his voice.

"Son, you need to hunt. I'll stay here until you get back." Carlisle informed him gently, as if to not upset him.

"No," Edward growled.

"Edward, she'll still be sleeping when you come back." Alice stated.

Edward sighed, "Ok." Edward then removed his hand from my arm.

Before he got up, he kissed me on the top of my forehead and I felt the same electricity going through my body when he was rubbing my arm, this time stronger. After a few seconds, I heard him get up and heard the door close. Everything was silence after Edward left.

After what seemed like hours, it was still silent. Then, Carlisle spoke up. "He doesn't have much longer; I'm worried about him."

I felt Carlisle sit in the chair that Edward was sitting in.

"We all are," Alice answered, coming closer to me.

"I have never seen him so protected of a human before. Will he be able to do it?" Carlisle asked.

"I don't know, it keeps on changing." Alice told Carlisle.

I was more than confused by now, and a little scared. Human? Be able to do what? Hunt? What were they?

"I should go; Jasper is going to be looking for me." Alice explained.

"Ok," Carlisle said, as I heard Alice leave the room.

Then it was just Carlisle and I left. Not too long after Alice left I fell back to sleep.

The next time I woke up, I was able to move. I stretched out my limbs, I was sore all around my body.

"Bella," I jumped. In the corner of the room hiding in the shadow was Edward. I tried to get up but my body wouldn't let me.

"Bella, relax please." Edward pleaded, getting closer to me.

"No." I yelled, trying to get up.

Edward pushed me down gently but, hard enough to stop me from getting up. "Let me explain." he said, sitting in the seat next to my bed.

I didn't want him to explain, I wanted to leave. I didn't have much of a choice since, he was holding me down.

"Bella," he sighed.

There was a paused, he sighed again before continuing.

"Bella, I'm not human." He stated, looking down.

"What do you mean, not human?" I almost yelled.

"Bella, I'm not human. I'm a vampire." He informed me, lifting his head up.

If he didn't have a serious face on, I would have thought he was joking. I didn't know how to reply to that. He was looking at me waiting to see my reaction.

"Bella," Edward spoke again after I hadn't said anything. "I won't hurt you," he looked down with a pained expression on his face.

Millions of thoughts were going through my head, how Alice was able to carry me down the stairs without a sweat, and how the Cullens never seem to eat. One thing that seemed to stay a mystery was why he hadn't killed me yet.

"Edward," I asked after I was able to straighten out my thoughts.

"Yes," he raised his head.

"Why haven't you killed me yet?" I asked, voicing my question.

"My family is different from others vampires," he answered. "We don't hunt people; we don't want to be monster."

"If you don't kill people, what do you drink?" I questioned.

"We hunt animals but, it's doesn't fully satisfy our thirst." Edward explained. He smiled just then as he went on. "We call ourselves vegetarians."

His smiled vanished as he lowered his head. He was quiet for a minute before speaking again.

"The first night you came into my house, I wanted to kill you. Your scent was powerful; I didn't even know you came into the houses until I smelled your scent. I couldn't read your thoughts, all I could read was the people outside our house. I wanted to kill you the second you stepped into the house. For some reason when I saw you I couldn't, instead, I followed you back to your house. I watched you as much as I could." Edward explained.

After he explained, my thoughts were all over as I tried to gather all he was saying. I was about to ask him about reading thoughts but, he continued.

"Bella," Edward sighed as he raised his head. "I never want to hurt you; I wouldn't be able to live if I hurt you." He lowered his head again.

"Edward," I asked, his eyes finding mine in a direct gaze. "What do you mean you couldn't read my thoughts?"

He smiled then and answered, "I can read minds."

"Can everyone in your family reads mind or is it only you?" I asked.

"It's only me but Alice has the ability to tell the future, Jasper can feel and control emotion." He answered.

We stayed quiet as I processed all this in my head and then I remembered what Carlisle said before. "Edward," I asked.

"Yes," he answered.

"Why did Carlisle want you to change me?" I asked as I looked at him.

"It's nothing you need to worry about; nothing is going to happen to you." He stated, giving me one of his crooked smiles but this time it seemed like it was forced. "Let's go down stairs." he said before I could ask anything else.

"Ok." I answered, giving in for now.

When we arrived downstairs, I saw Esme, Jasper, and Alice in the kitchen. Jasper and Alice were sitting at the table while Esme was cooking breakfast for me since I knew now that the Cullens were vampires. When I sat down Esme placed the plate in front of me. It smelled so delicious. The plate was full of food. There was bacon, sausage, eggs, and biscuit, with jelly on the side. Edward, Alice and Jasper were watching me eat as I took my first bite. I didn't like the way it felt to have their eyes examine me as I took my every bite.

"Edward, what would happen if you ate human food?" I asked, staring at a piece of bacon in my hand.

"Our body would reject it, and we would end up throwing it back up," he stated watching me take a bite of bacon.

Edward and I continued to talk about vampires while the rest of the Cullens left the table. Once I was finish eating we were walking out of the kitchen when I noticed I hadn't seen Emmett or Rosalie.

"Where's Emmett and Rose?" I asked Edward.

"Emmett took Rose hunting." Edward informed me as we walked up the stairs, holding hands.

I stop walking, "Why does Rose hate me, I haven't said or done anything to her." I stated, turning towards Edward.

He hesitated a little bit before answering. "She doesn't really hate you, she more jealous than anything." He started to walk the rest of the way up.

"Jealous? Why is she jealous of me?" I asked Edward as we reached the top of the stairs. "She jealous that you're human and you know about us being vampires; Rosalie never chose this life, and she never wanted to be a vampire." He turned to face me.

"Oh," I replied as we were walking up the next flight of stairs to his room.

"She'll get better; she's not use to a human knowing about us." He continued as we reached the last flight of stairs.

When we arrived at his room, we decide to listen to music. While he was looking for a CD to play, I plopped myself on his bed and then I remembered what he said earlier in the kitchen.

"Edward, why did you buy a bed since you don't sleep, you could have made up an excuse to get out of buying a bed." I asked as I lifted my head up.

He turned around to face me "The only reason I got it was because of you," he smiled. I smile back as he put a CD in and we talked and listen to music for the rest of the day.

So now Bella knows that the Cullens are vampires now but, what exactly is Edward hiding from Bella. Right now, I'm not in the writing mode and when I'm not in any sort of writing mode my chapters are bad. So by tomorrow, I'm hoping I'll be in the writing mood. I probably won't update for two weeks because of this problem but, If get back into my writing mode by tomorrow I should have the next chapter up in about a little over a week. If not, it will be around November 12. The good news is I have the rest of the story all planned out so, I shouldn't get any writer's block. Since I may not update for two weeks, I'll give you the title to the next chapter. The title to the next chapter is 'Shopping with Alice.' Some questions will be answered next chapter and some will be left unanswered. Review.
