Chapter 13: Confessing

What was I supposed to do? Obviously they were going to find out eventually, might as well have them hear it from me right?
I just didn't expect them to react the way they did, honestly house arrest?

I know they were just trying to protect me, but it was a bit extreme. Okay, alot extreme. "No school, those vampires go there too, you may continue your job at Jewlaski, but otherwise stay home." Renee said.

I turned to Phil for support, but he agreed with Renee, they had that look in their eye that said it was final. I went up to my room, and called Angela.

"Hello?" Angela asked.
"Hey, Angela it's me Bella," I said trying to sound calm.

"Oh, Hi Bella how are you doing?" Angela asked me.
"Not so good, listen I won't be able to go to school anymore," I told her.
"Why?" she asked.

I paused how do I tell her, if I do tell her that is. "It's complicated, let's just say I got in trouble and my parents were mad."

"So you can't go to school?" Angela asked. "Yes." "Well, okay."
"Thanks, I got to go now." She said goodbye and I quickly hunged up the phone.

My phone started ringing. "Angela?" I asked.

"No, Alice," she replied. "Alice? Do you need any more employee help?" I asked.

"No." "Then what is it?" I asked. "You told your parents about us."
"Yes but-" "They already knew." "Uh yeah but-" "Listen Bella."

I nodded even though she couldn't see me, "Edward is on his way to your house to settle things, I'm on my way to inform my parents, and Jasper and Emmet is too busy trying to restrain Rosalie from killing you," Alice explained.

"Are you mad too?" I asked. "No, only Rosalie is, confused yes, Bella you already knew about vampires too didn't you?" Alice asked.
I gulped, and took a sharp intake of air, "Ye- yes." I stammered.

I heard Alice sigh, "Alright, we'll take about this later okay?" Alice told me. I nodded. "Okay."
"Wait, did you say Edward is coming?" I asked. "Yes."

"No, Alice he can't!" I said. The line went dead. "Hello?" I asked. "Isabella! Phone now!" Of course they did it. Alice wouldn't have hung up on me.

I sighed, and went downstairs, Renee held out her palm expectantly, I set down my phone in her hand and she quickly closed it. "NO PHONES."
I nodded and went back upstairs, I flopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling.

And it once again occured to me that Edward was coming, and that I was trapped into telling him and his family about my secret, not only that but my parents were going to put up a shield aroudn the house so nothing or no one can get in or out, except them of course.

I abruptly stood up, and walked over to my window, that's how he got in last time, or should I say sneaked in.
I opened my window, in a flash he was in front of me, "You have to go, NOW." "Bella you know I can't we need to talk, you need to explain," Edward told me.

"I know, I know, we will but right now we can't." "Let me inside." "Not now." "Why?" "I'm under house arrest." He raised an eyebrow. "No time to explain, you just have to go before your trapped in here too."

He gently pushed me back and stepped insde the room and closed the window. I sighed. I looked behind and me and sure enough a pink energy that looked a lot more like lightning shot in the sky, meaning that they put up the sheild.

"Great," I muttered. "You really don't want me here do you?" Edward asked. "No!" I snapped. "Cause now," I walked over to the window opened it and threw my small potted cactus out of it and the pot broke against the sheild, "you're stuck in here too."

I still wasn't facing him, but I heard his shock gasp. "Bella! No throwing things at the sheild!" Renee sternly yelled at me. "Okay!"
I closed the window and let down the drapes, "This is what I meant by house arrest."

"Bella, you need to explain now, because I am honestly confused." "Of course you are."

"The truth is Edward, I'm not like many other people, in fact I'm not really a human." His eyes went wide, and then he laughed.

"Of course you are, you look human, you breathe, your heart beats, you have blood, you have a pulse, you eat disgusting human food, even your eyes, the beautiful chocolate brown eyes of them are human," Edward told me.

"Listen to me Edward, the truth is I'm a sorceress."

BTW I COULDN'T UPDATE BECAUSE MY HOUSE LOST ALL INTERNET ACCESS SO I'M SORRY, OH AND i DID A LOT OF READING.

"No." "No what?" I asked. "I don't believe it, you are human, you have to be!" Edward said. "Sssh! My parents are going to hear you!" I whisper yelled at him. He paced back and forth the room, "I don't have to be anything." He looked up at me, and stopped pacing, "I know what I am, if you don't believe then I'll have to show you."

I stepped in front of me and cupped his face with my hands, and I whispered a spell, "Arcos Viso." I saw his eyes glazed as I showed him my memories, when I let go of his face and took a step back he turned to me and said, "You are defintely not human." I smiled, and he returned the smile with a crooked one of his own.

Leaving me temporaily dazzled.

I shook my head and looked down, "We have to get you out of here, as soon as the shield goes down you have to run out of here okay?" I said.
"But there's so much you need to explain, when that vampire kidnapped you why would you lie to us?" he asked.

"One I didn't know all of you that well, second, I couldn't we have rules." "Rules?" "Yes, I can lose all of my memory and powers now, if the Council finds out it surely would be that way, and I'll end up just like my father."

By now I was looking out the window, I knew I couldn't keep it to myself for long, and if I tried to keep it for a secret my punishment could be even worse.

"I come from another realm, my parents moved here because Phil had to help out an old friend, I had to leave all my friends behind, I would return next year for school, but that's it."

"What happens exactly if the Council? Is that what you said?" Edward asked. I nodded. "What happens if they find out?" he repeated. "Well what would happen that we would all go to the other realm where the Council will choose our punishment, most likely they'll erase your memory too."

"Most likely I would too, except I wouldn't remember my whole life, they would make one for me and place me somewhere else, no one in this town will even remember me, almost like I was never there to begin with."

It was silent after that, Edward didn't ask any more questions, I just sat on my bed and he sat on my rocking chair.
Occasionally, I would feel his eyes staring in my direction, I would fidget, before I turned around to face him, he never turned away from my stare, eventually the intensity of his gaze was enough and I would look out the window.

"How do I know when the shield is down?" Edward asked, breaking the on-going silence. I thought, "Well the sheild is invisible, the only way we can know is when someone goes through," I answered.

"When do you think that will be?" he asked. "In the morning when they leave for work, actually my mom said I could still go to work, I'll have to stall, but with your vampire speed I think you'll be able to sneak out while the sheild is down." I smiled, he might not have to be trapped in here with me for weeks and weeks.

I also felt sad at the thought of Edward leaving, I quickly shook it off and pushed it to the back of my mind. "So, I'll be gone by tommorow morning?" Edward asked. "Yes." I confirmed.

"You should get some sleep, you have work tommorow, I have the feeling you would be working a long shift." Edward said, getting up from the rocking chair, and tucking me into bed.

"Are you a psychic now?" I teased. Edward chuckled, "No, that would be Alice." I suddenly felt very tired, I yawned and felt my eyelids droop, as everything in my vision got darker, I blinked trying to stay awake, but the more I tried, the quicker my eyes started to close, I felt Edward's cool lips gently kiss my forehead and I fell asleep.

~~TheNEXTday!~

I woke up, I felt happy and engerized, I also felt determined to stall my parents in anyway possible. I sat up in my bed and yawned, I stretched my arms, and stumbled out fo bed.

My hair was a mess as always, I took a shower and dried my hair. I realized I forgot to bring my clothes to the bathroom, I looked for my bathrobe, it was lavender, and unlike my mother's it was long and not silky.

I snorted, newlyweds.

I quickly put on my bathrobe, and made sure I tied it securely around my waist, I tiptoed into my room, I closed the door and quickly walked over to my closet, I knew that no matter what I picked Renee would tell me to change when we got there, and I would come home in a dress she picked out herself, that she thought was 'decent attire' for those who sell 'extravagant accesories'.

I sighed, and changed into my blue jeans and red V-neck sweater. I closed the closet, and walked to the door I nearly shrieked when Edward stood there. Our faces were just inches apart, "What are you doing?" I whispered. "I was waiting for you to finish changing, Renee and Phil are about to leave go downstairs, I'll wait for you in here," Edward said, and stepped inside my room and gently pushed me out and closed the door.

I walked downstairs, Edward was right, my parents were ready to go, Phil walked over to me. "Renee thinks you should stay here, you can go to work on your regular shift, we're gonna go, don't try to get past the sheild," he told me.

"I won't." Technically it was true, I was trying to get Edward past the sheild but it's not like I can tell them that.
Renee hugged me and they left. "So, much for stalling," I muttered. "That wasn't in there thoughts," Edward said. "I bet it was one of those quick decisions parents make spontaneously," I said.

"It looks like I'm staying." "Yup, it does."

"My family might come here if I don't get home soon, and Rosalie is a tad-" I cut him off. "Don't sugar coat it, Rosalie hates me and wants to kill me, we might be able to talk to them."

I went upstairs in my room, "Do me a favor?" I asked. "Sure," Edward answered. It struck me odd how he didn't hesitate at all, I sighed. "I need you to move all the furniture from that wall," I said, pointing to where my computer desk was.

He nodded, and after a minute he had everything moved away and downstairs. I said a spell, "Teleus portal." On my wall was what looked like a movie screen but what really was somethign that made my wall a web cam, for the Cullens to see.

"Oh shit!" "Emmet language!" "Esme, everybody, come to the living room quick!"
