Edwards point of view
I drove to the house with Bella right behind me. It was distracting having to drive this way. I was trying to listen to her but also not hit anything in the process. I'm normally really good at driving but I am just loosing focus and I've only known this girl for a day. I have got to go for a run soon just to clear my head.
When we drive up to the house I can hear Esme and Carlisle get happier. We rarely get visitors of the human nature. They got prepared and Esme double checked the coat that was sitting in the kitchen, just to make sure it had no tags.
We all got out the cars and Bella said "This is exquisite"
Esme just got happier as she waited to greet us in the house. Alice lead Bella to the house as the rest of us followed. They were finishing up their conversation as we all filed in.
"Bella of course you remember my parent, Carlisle and Esme" Alice said
"Hey guys good to see you so soon." She said with a smile
"Hello Bella, how was your first day?" Carlisle said with a smile
"It was okay not too bad. But it seems I have to constantly repeat who I am the entire day and I find it hard to say that on the spot. Honestly who cares what my hobbies are?" she said a bit exasperated
She is hilarious. She really has a way with words. Carlisle thought
"We found the coat Alice was telling you about earlier" Esme said as she let everyone to the kitchen
Esme seemed to have made some snacks. Sandwiches and fresh fruit were on the counter. She offered Bella some food as Alice was also trying to fit the coat to Bella. Bella took a square of cantaloupe and a grape and said around her eating "Wow this is a lot of last minute food"
That was confusing. Whats last minute food?
Esme asked first "Whats that?"
"You know for people who don't eat you sure did make a lot of food" Bella said while still chewing
That got everyone's attention. We all froze even Alice who was adjusting the coats hood. Did she know? How could she know? Maybe we are misunderstanding her? My families thoughts were along the same lines.
What? Does? That? Mean?
She knows? There is no way
We have done nothing she could gain suspicion from
Maybe this is just a misunderstanding
"Well of course we eat Bella" Carlisle said with a fake smile
"Dude I know a vampire when I see one. Pretty cool eye color though. What do you drink? Animals?" she said offhand.
This started WWIII in the house as everyone exclaimed and sort of rushed her with questions.
She held up her hands. "Hold up"
We backed away. It was obvious that we were making her uncomfortable. Even Rosalie was curious as to what lead this girl to know so much
"Look guys, I am not going to out you. I wasn't even going to bring it up but I was just surprised at all the food. For real what are you guys going to do with it when I leave?" she said
"Throw it away" Esme said stunned and saddened
It seems no one knew quite what to say or had any sort of filter
"How do you know about vampires?" I asked
"Oh because I'm not human" she said
The universe again did another turn.
"Lets take this conversation into the dining room" Carlisle said
"Can I take a sandwich?" Bella asked
"I'll make you a plate." Esme said
We all walked into the dining room and sat down. With her at one end and Carlisle on the other end. We waited for Esme to walk in and hand Bella her plate and she sat down next to Carlisle.
"Would you like to explain Bella?" Carlisle said
"Okay let's begin. Well I am not human to state first even though I look it. I have been on earth since the Great War and man's creation."
"What war?" Carlisle asked
"You know, the war between my brothers and sisters and the expulsion of Lucifer from heaven." she said slowly
"Right" said Carlisle who was in disbelief
"Yes so I've been guardian of this place since the end of the war and just recently decided to get a human experience and thus my current state." She said
I have no idea how to take this information. This is such a different explanation than I was expecting. Then again I was not expecting much.
Rosalie was furious for our conversation "YOU WANT US TO BELIEVE THIS? THIS IS CRAZINESS. SHE IS OBVIOUSLY LYING!"
"Do NOT call me a liar" Bella looked directly into Rosalie's face. Bella's eyes went completely red.
"Let me explain something to you. I am the balance keeping here on earth for heaven and hell. I protect and serve the people here. Do not misunderstand me I know half breeds that walk among everyone else here think that they are the things that control the night but believe me yous are not at the top of the food chain." She said
"What are half breeds?" Jasper asked
"Yous are. The current idea of vampires is just a delusion. Descended from one type of demon that used to exist on this plain." She said
"Used to?" Esme said
"Yes I killed it and others like it from spreading here on earth." She said
"So what are you?" Alice asked
"I am an angel and demon." She said
Bellas point of view
They were looking at me as if I cut off my own head and kept talking.
"Okay look in order to keep balance I need to be of both so that I favor none. I am an angel and hear the calls of prayers but I also am a demon that does on occasion sees the bad guys side. Bad things need to happen. That's just the way it has to be and that's where my demon comes in. Angels feel a vigilante need to not like bad things but God gives trials that humans must live through and these bad things must happen. I ensure that they happen but also are controlled."
Wow I sounded horrible
I looked at them and just waited.
"So why were you afraid of us what we picked you up?" Carlisle said
"One I am more worried about reactions of people. Yeah I wondered if yous were murderers and pervs. But notice how I still got in the car. Two I never have the right reaction as a human so I was screwed on that front." I said
"So can we see?" Alice said
"See what EXACTLY?" I hedged
"What you look like as an angel?" She said
Oh thank God that's what they wanted to see and not the other half.
"Ummm sure"
I let the glow of my grace shine and my celestial side come through and it felt peaceful. My grace slowed around me and I felt at home. I heard the voices of everyone on earth. The prayers of sinners and the call of the innocent were powerful and I reveled in sending them strength. I heard the call of support from those who needed help. I spread my wings out and they filled the room. I loved to fly and hadn't had a chance to fly in days. They stretched out and flexed their strength. My clothes changed into the long dress I wore that would both move with me and allow me to fight without hindrance. My tattoos warmed at my power and I soaked it up. When I was fully okay I opened my eyes to see them with dumb founded expressions.
I changed back quickly and just sat there.
"Okay so…." I lead with "any questions?'
Carlisle stood "That was amazing. I have many questions theologically"
"You are religious?" I asked
"I was raised in a religious household and I have many questions about the state of beings like us in this greater picture." He said
"Well you serve a purpose like everyone else and I can see why father likes to all so much." I said
I knew my father liked them because while inside my grace father did show that they had a good cause and their souls were clean and repentant.
"He knows of us?" Carlisle said
"Hahaha he knows of yous, yes. He knows all of his children." I said with a smile
"That's good?" He seemed a bit afraid
"Well yes its good the work yous are doing is good and your way of life is a really good alternative to the tradition way of life." I said
Edwards point of view
I had so many questions and the big one was the soul question. I wanted to know where, who and when. Everyone was on this sort of surreal thought process and no one knew how to take it.
"Look I am going to be normal and function as any normal human would and I think I've been here a bit longer then I planned. I have to make my dad dinner." She stood
"Okay let me take your plate" Esme said
Bella looked at her and smiled
"Come on guys I'm not crazy or weird, weirder then yous I mean." She said
"How about we all talk again tomorrow, not at school, after school?" she proposed
"Yes we would love that." Carlisle said with a smile.
An angel! My goodness
"Edward would you walk me out?" she said
I stood and followed her out of the house.
"Are you okay?" she asked me
Me? Why would she ask this?
"Yeah"
"Out of everyone here you're the one who still looks like I hit you with a shovel" she said lowly
"I think so." I said unsure
"Well if you need anything just pray for me" She said
"HaHa what do you mean?" I asked
"I hear prayers. All angels do. I will hear if you call" she said
I think I may have to call her soon. Wait! Did she just tell me to call her?! She metaphorically gave me her number! I broke out into the biggest grin ever as she was to her truck. When she turned I toned it down and waved.
Alice came running "your coat!"
"Oh thanks! I completely forgot." She said "See you tomorrow!"
She drove off with a loud truck. Me and Alice were just standing there stunned.
"What do you think?" I said
"I think I just got a really fabulous friend" she beamed
We walked inside just as everyone unfroze.
"So what do we do now?" Jasper asked
"Obviously she isn't going to tell anyone anything" I said
"I wonder how strong she is, did you see those wings?!" Emmett said excitedly
"We all did Emmett" Rosalie said with attitude
"That glow was euphoric" Esme said
"A true angel." Pondered Carlisle
"And demon" said Rosalie
"We are all demons, or demon babies" said Alice in protest. "So what if shes different if shes here and not against us she is our friend."
"How do we know that?" Rosalie yelled
"Well shes dating Edward" Alice said
WHAT?!
"WHAT?!" everyone but Alice was surprised
"I see that Edward and Bella will be dating. And …"
She saw a ceremony us together…a wedding…. It was spotty….me in a tux…Bella in a wedding dress. Then it was gone. That future was unsure but a possibility
"And maybe WIFE!" Alice yelled and danced in place
Universe flip again
Okay guys what do you think? And how soon should Edward call? Remember that the first call must be made by the guy and it must be at the right time! And anyone got any suggestions about first date ideas or should I introduce Jacob early? But be warned I have a twist for Jacob as well.
