Once again I don't own anything.
Chapter 6 – Answers
"I guess we do," he replied observing her as she stood in place while nibbling on her bottom lip. Seeing that there was silence, Edward finally spoke breaking the awkwardness.
"You know what I am," he said more as a statement than a question.
"Vampire," she answered, dropping her gaze to the floor.
"I guess if you found me in the library to tell me, you know what I am," she said as she looked up at him once again. She needed to be strong and brave. She was a Gryffindor she told herself. She couldn't let this person that she just met make her feel so weak.
"Witch," he responded.
"Why where you looking up information on us?" Edward asked a little more protectively now.
"Because I didn't know if you were friendly or not."
He walked up to her slowly, just a few inches away from her. It was dangerous for him but right now he didn't care. He was trying to prove a point and this was his only option.
"Do you think I am friendly?" He could hear her hearth rising as he approached her.
She looked up to his eyes seeing his determination. "Yes." She answered him determine as well.
"Will you bet your life on it?"
He was ecstatic and angry at her response. He didn't want her to be so relying on a vampire. She was being foolish by being this trustworthy.
"Yes," she knew what he was doing. He was trying to scare her, but at this point she wasn't scared, she was curious at his determination.
"Even though you know what we are? You saw all those books there, what they showed you." He was raising his voice at this point remembering the images of the bloody figures on the table.
"Those are just myths. I know there are good vampires out there." She was now getting annoyed at his determination of making her hate him.
"You are such a naïve person. You witches and believing that you know and can control everything." He didn't want to make her mad but she wasn't giving him another option.
"You don't know ME." She said in a scream and with anger as she turned her back at him. She was trying to control her temper but he was making it difficult. He hated that, when people thought they could control her. She was an individual. She had thoughts of her own. It was her choice what she chose to do with her life. If she wanted to go into a mess of vampires so be it. It was her decision.
"I don't, but it still doesn't give you the right to think you know everything," he said as he stared at her back. He was trying to control his anger towards her. This wasn't going as planned.
"I am not saying anything about knowing the answers to everything. That is why I am here, to understand." She finally took the courage to face him once more.
"Make me understand," she looked into his eyes. She truthfully did want to understand what was going on.
"Why are you being defensive? If you where like those vampires I read about then you would have killed me by now," she said in a whisper.
"Because it still doesn't change that I am a monster," he said, holding his breath he took a step closer to her. He was gambling with his strength.
"You aren't," this was becoming strange to Hermione. She didn't know this stranger and she was strangely attracted to him. With a frustrating sigh she continued to talk.
"Look we are both here for answers. You are a vampire. Do you and your family feed on human blood?"
"No we consider ourselves vegetarians, feeding only on animal's blood." Edward answered defeated.
Hermione was taking it all in slowly. Edward was a vampire. He only drank animal's blood. That was all she needed to know.
"Why did you leave?" she asked without thinking.
Edward looked into her big brown eyes.
"Because I am drawn to your blood."
"What do you mean?" Hermione was intrigue by this new information.
"It's like it's calling for me. I can smell it, like a drug."
"Is it just me or does this happen a lot."
"I have the same affect with your cousin. But with you it's stronger."
"Do you know why?"
"I believe the reason that I am tempted to your cousin's blood is because you are around her. Because…"
"Because?" Hermione was staring right at his eyes.
"I feel very protective of YOU. As if I need to isolate you from the world from harm and I don't know why I feel like this. I have the same affect on your family. I know if anything happens to them, then it will hurt you." He could feel her breathing exhilarating as he said those words.
"I just met you," she responded to his statement.
"Then let me get to know you," he said with a smirk.
At that those words she pulled away from his reach. She didn't want to tell him about her past. About what she went through, her sudden distance hurt Edward.
"It's a lot." It was all she could say.
"I have time." At those words they both laugh.
"You know I am a witch." He nodded at her response.
"I went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a school in England for people like me." At those words Edward truly knew who she was. He turned from her feeling anger.
"What is wrong?" she asked him as she saw him pull away. She was afraid at his reaction.
"Give me a minute." He was trying to control his temper. He knew who she was and all the pain that she had gone through because he would see it in Alice's mind. He knew about the war that broke out in the Wizarding world. With the man Voldemort and what happened to the famous boy wizard Harry Potter. He needed her connection with Potter her loss during the war that he and his family refused to get involved with.
She just started at him for what felt like forever. Had she done something wrong? She saw him relax as he turned to see her.
"I know who you are now," he said truly looking at her now.
"How?"
"My sister Alice she as the ability to see the future in a way."
"Explain," she was looking at him with curiosity and anger. How dare these individuals she didn't eve know look into her life.
"She kept having vision a few months ago about the war happening with Voldemort. She couldn't block it even if she tried. Your friend Harry Potter was too important for her to block out. So she ended up just keeping tabs to see if the war would get out of hand."
"She told you all of that?" she looked up at him. He had come once again only a few feet away from her.
"I couldn't keep it out either," he said in a low voice.
"You can see the future like she can?" she said in a whisper.
"Not exactly, I can read peoples minds." This made Hermione look deeper into his eyes.
"Can you read my mind right now?"
"No, your mind is different, which irritates me," he said with a smirk on his face.
"You can't get them all." She smiled back at him and continued.
"Has this ever happened before?"
"I can't hear your cousin's mind. But it may be something with you. Some defense mechanisms that you have up."
"How do you know that?"
"Because that week I was gone I tested my theory. Apparently your uncle's blood is as tempting as your cousins and I can't read his mind either. Before you came I could read his mind. It also may be that you are a witch and you are throwing energy out without knowing." Edward was irritated at that fact.
"I can tell you this; I am not doing it on purpose," she told him firmly.
"I know, it's just that this has never happen to me."
She was impressed with him knowing all this information. But he was a vampire, who knew how long he had live for? Which lead to her next question.
"How long have you been this age?"
"Seventeen. I have been seventeen since 1918," he answered as he tightened his jaw. He didn't know how she would react would be to all this information. Although she was a witch, this was still a world she wasn't familiar with and he was right. She was overwhelmed with all this information.
"I think this is all I can take today."
"Do you want to meet the rest of my family, I promise that we won't bite." He smirked to her.
She took a deep breath. It was better to take care of it now then it was to do it later. With that thought she nodded.
"We can do it another time. It's getting late and I think that Bella and Charley may get worry." He told her.
"No, it's okay. I can just call them from my cell phone and tell them that I will home a little later, so they won't worry." He nodded at her and took her hand. Not expecting the cold she shivered.
"Sorry," he responded to her reaction, however, he didn't let go of her hand.
"It's okay," she smiled at him and squeezed his hand for reassurance.
He carried her once again on his back, leading them to his car.
"I like the idea of getting use to this," she told him as she placed her down. Although she hated flying and fast movement she was still a sucker for adventure. She was a Gryffindor after all.
"I like the idea also," he told her as he opened the car door for her, not taking his eyes from her.
Once he got into the car he started to head towards his home.
"You sure you want to do this now? We can do this some other time." He wanted her to feel comfortable.
"I am sure, I am okay. I am just going to call Bella right now to tell her that I am okay."
Edward just nodded and kept his eyes on read.
"Hello? Bella? Its Hermione… Yeah I am okay. I am just hanging out with somebody I met at school. Can you please tell Charlie that I will be home a little later. I will be fine. He can just call me if he needs anything. Thank you, see you later."
Edward heard the worry voice of Bella on the other side.
"Hermione, are you okay? Where are you? … Oh, Okay. Are sure you are going to be okay? Okay… No problem… See you later."
He smiled at their formal awkwardness and how they still cared for each other.
"Everything okay?" he asked her trying to be courteous.
"I know you heard everything. You don't have to pretend," she said as she looked at the phone in her hand.
"Sorry."
"You don't have to be sorry. Just don't insult my intelligence."
The rest of the ride towards the Cullen's was quiet. Not being able to read her mind made Edward impatient. Once they parked in front of his home, Edward finally turned to her to look at her.
"What are you thinking?" He looked at her with an intense gaze.
"What am I doing?"
"What do you mean?" He was now scared at her answered.
"I am going into a house full of vampires. I may trust you but I don't know them," she said as she shook her head and smiled.
"Why are you smiling?" He grinned at her relief and that she wasn't asking him to take her home.
"I feel like I am at school again. Doing idiotic things with my friends," she said not taking the smile off her face.
"It's good that this is not and idiotic idea." He took her hand as he said this. They stayed in the car for a while as her heart rate slowed down. He wanted her to be calm when she entered the house.
"Ready?"
She nodded as she finally let go of his hand regretting her action.
However, as soon as she let go, he opened her door, taking her hand once more.
The both walked in hand towards the house where his family waited patiently, along with a little pixy girl who had a big smile in her face.
They soon arrived to his house. "Are you sure?" he asked her one more time as he stopped the car in front of the enormous hour.
"How many time are you going to ask me if, I am sure?" she said with a smile as she stared at him. Smirking back at her he responded, "As many times as I can." Silent filled the car until she finally spoke once again. "Well, it's now or never," as she pull out of the car.
