Chapter Four: The Art of Humanity

Bella's POV

After the pain was gone everything was so much clearer. I could hear things that my human ears couldn't hear before. Edward looked more handsome, if that was even possible. Everything was more beautiful than before. Every sound more precise, more perfect.

But despite all that I still felt a little groggy.

"Ed-Edward?" I tried to speak but the words seemed to need so much effort to say then, but I felt it quickly wear off. Soon I sat up, still in Edward's protective arms.

"I'm right here, my love." I looked up into his eyes. Ah! He could still dazzle me. He just stared at me, as if he had never seen me before. I couldn't help but blush at this attention.

"Bella." I loved it when he said my name."

"Yes Edward."

"Would you like to see your family? We have a surprise for you!" He seemed so excited at this that I was a little wary of what the surprise could possible be. He smile was contagious.

"I would love to!" And with that I threw myself back, taking him with me. We just stayed like that for a few minutes; me lying on top of him, until I turned over so I could see his face. He just smiled at me.

"You're so beautiful." He said as he put his hand to my face. I blushed and then I realized that vampires couldn't blush. I immediately stood up, I think I started him with my sudden movements. I couldn't help it, I was frightened. Why could I blush? Why does this even matter, but still, why could I blush? Is there something wrong with me or is my power blushing…and if it is then that's not exactly the best power in the world; blushing. Why am I even going on about this, I'll just ask him. I really didn't like it when my thoughts ran astray.

"Edward, why can I still blush?" I peered into his face hoping that his expression would somehow give me the answers that I so desperately wanted. He stood up also and took my hands into his. We just stood there, barely inches apart facing each other. I could feel his breath that helped me calm down a little bit, but only a little.

"Why can I still blush? Is there something wrong with me?" He chuckled at me. That slightly irritated me. I just want an answer and he's laughing at me and my question. Then again, it is a slightly dumb question, but still!

"Edward…" All this frustration was making my eyes water, "Please just tell me!" Then I felt it! A tear! I was crying, tears! I'm not a normal vampire! "I can cry! I can blush! What's happening!"

"Your gift is humanity. You can blush, cry…we can even have children." I blushed at that too and he laughed once again but this time I couldn't help but laugh with him. "But even more, you're a Verisol. There's a legend that goes that one of the dark, me, shall fall in love with one of the light, you, and together they shall produce shades of grey, which I think could relate to children. They said that you can eat human food but I highly doubt that. Do you want to feed?" I couldn't believe this, he had just told me how I'm something different and ends the conversation with 'Do you want to feed.'? But I was hungry, thirsty actually, that is a weird feeling. I couldn't help it;

"Um…yes." I looked down, the thought of blood still made me feel a little sick but I needed it to survive. Oh what great options! He put his hands on my waist and closed the few inches between us with a kiss. Our first real kiss! We didn't have to hold back anything, it was the best kiss that I had ever had! Then he took one of my hands and lead me out of the meadow and deeper into the forest. He taught me how to release myself and let my instincts take over. Then after I fedi felt somuch better, if thatwas even possible. We went back to our home.Thenstopped on the porch and just looked at each other. I think Edward could tell how I felt.

"Bella, you look worried, don't be; we all love you and you're a part of our family now. There's nothing to worry about." He took my face in his hands. Why did his eyes have to dazzle me so easily? Remember you sentences! Tell him how you feel before you forget! Speak, that's it! Speak to him, tell him! My mind shouted at me, breaking me from my semi-trance from his dazzling eyes.

"But," I looked down at our feet, "I'm a Verisol, what if they don't like me because I'm different?" I looked straight into his eyes and saw humor that he was trying to hide.

"There's nothing to worry about, trust me."

"I do…but what if…" He kissed me, just like that he cheated ending the conversation by kissing me. Then I heard Alice.

"Aww……their so cute and so happy!" I broke Edward and my kiss and blushed when I saw the whole family in and by the doorframe. I blushed looking down at my feet yet again.

"She still blushes! Yay!" Alice giggled then skipped over and gave me the biggest hug I had ever received.

"Please come in!" I don't think I really had a choice of saying no because as soon as Alice had finished saying that she dragged me into the house where I received either a hug or a handshake from everyone:

"Welcome to the family dear, I'm glad Edward found you, now he's so happy." Esme whispered into my ear as she hugged me.

"Hello little sister!" Emmet greeted as hug enveloped me into a hug that was bigger than the one Alice gave a few seconds ago.

"It''s nice to have you in the family." Jasper said.

"I'm glad that your finally joining us." Carlisle stated as he shook my hand. The last one was Rosalie. I was a little scared of what she might do. Then she surprised me and everyone else by hugging me.

"I'm so happy your one of us now! I'm so sorry for treating rudly before! Please forgive me!" She was still hugging me.

"I do Rose." Then we both looked at each other and giggled 'my sister.' Then I felt my arm being yanked on.

"I'm taking her to see her surprise." Alice yelled as she dragged me into Edward's room.

She stopped at the door. "Your surprise is sitting on Edward's couch! Be friendly!" She giggled than ran down stairs. Oh joy; 'be friendly'? What was my surprise, a dog? I guess it would be better to get this over with so I opened the door and stepped inside. And was greeted by someone inside;

"Good day my dear Isabella."
