4. Speculation

That evening, we all sat in the living room. The television was on, but no one paid any attention to it. Emmett and Rosalie had come home and we had just told them about the new vampires.

"Do you already know where they live?" Rosalie asked Edward.

"It wasn't easy to find out," Edward said and frowned. "They're really good at protecting their minds. But they live in a little house on the other side of the town. I know how to drive there."

Emmett nodded. "So when are we planning to go for our little visit?" Emmett asked and grinned, excited. He didn't seem to be worried at all about the new vampires and why Alice couldn't see them. I thought he had already thought that our life was getting a little boring.

"We all don't have to go," Carlisle said. "I was thinking maybe Edward and I would go alone so that we didn't scare them."

"Okay, but I'm still coming with you," Emmett said. "There's no way I would miss all the fun."

After a while, I rose up. "It's late. I'm going to make some food for Nessie," I said. Nessie and I went to the kitchen and left the other Cullens talking and watching the television.

"What would you like to eat?" I asked.

"I don't know, it doesn't matter," Nessie said and shrugged, so I just made her cheese sandwiches and hot chocolate.

I sat opposite of Nessie and watched while she ate.

"Mom?" Nessie asked quietly after a while.

"Yes?"

"Do you think the other vampires are good? I mean, do they drink human blood?"

"No, I'm sure they don't drink human blood," I said and smiled at her. "If Dad said that he couldn't see anything like that in their minds, I'm sure he's right."

"But Daddy said it wasn't easy to read their minds. And why do you think Alice couldn't see them?"

"I don't know, honey, I don't know," I said and sighed. "But Alice can't see anyone. I mean, she doesn't see you. Or the werewolves."

"But we're different. They are vampires, just like she is."

"I really don't know," I repeated. "But you don't have to worry about it. Everything will be fine." I was a little worried, but I didn't want to show it to Nessie. She was still so young, but she was really smart.

When Nessie had finished eating, Edward and I put her to sleep. Then we went to our own room.

"So, did you like our new school?" Edward asked me when we were lying on our bed.

"It was fine," I said.

Edward smiled. "You don't seem to be too exited."

I sighed. "Really, it's ok. This just isn't the best time to go school. I mean, when Nessie is still so young."

Edward wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him. "But we can't all be at home. It would be too suspicious."

"I know," I said and pressed my head against his shoulder to breathe in his wonderful scent.

Edward didn't say anything. He kissed my neck and then slowly moved his lips onto mine. And it didn't seem to be so bad to be at high school again. I would go anywhere, if I could just be with him.

***

The next morning, we all sat around the kitchen table. It felt a lot like a normal human breakfast, though Nessie was the only one who ate.

Carlisle took the newspaper and started to read. After a while, he scowled, worried. Edward looked just as worried as he was.

"What?" I asked anxiously.

"At least four people are missing in Olympia," Carlisle told us. "They vanished without leaving any traces last night…" Carlisle raised his head to look at us. "Sounds a lot like vampires."

We were all silent.

"So, maybe they're not as innocent as we thought," Emmett said finally.

"I – I don't understand," Edward said, confused. "I didn't see anything like that in their minds."

"But I couldn't see them at all!" Alice said. "What could that mean?" We all looked at Carlisle, but he seemed to be just as puzzled as we all were.

"What if they are not like normal vampires?" Rosalie asked. "I mean, what other reason could there be if Alice can't see them. You have always seen all other vampires, haven't you?"

"Yes," Alice answered.

"What if they are half-vampires?" I recommended.

"No," Edward said. "They're not. I can say at least that for sure. I heard how they became vampires. They were both turned into a vampire early at the 19th century."

"Maybe it has something to do with their talent," Jasper said.

"It could be," Carlisle nodded. "Though I've never heard about that kind of talent. Maybe we should just go and visit them."

"But now you have to go to school," Esme reminded us. "You're running late."

We rose up, quickly said our goodbyes to others, and left for school.

***

The school day passed slowly. The last class we had with Oliver and Cassie. When we went to the classroom, they were already there, sitting at the back of the classroom.

When we stepped into the room, they both turned to look at us. Our eyes met for a brief moment, but then they both turned their eyes away at the same time.

Edward and I went and sat on the other side of the classroom.

The lesson went on, but I didn't get a word of what the teacher was talking about. When the school was finally over, we hurried to Edward's car and waited for Alice and Jasper. They came out after a few minutes.

"We have to go to the supermarket, before we go home. We're out of food again," Alice pointed out before we left.

"Okay, let's go then," I said.

We drove to the grocery store and then back home, just to realize that Emmett and Rosalie had done the shopping, too, and our closets were full of food.

"Well, it doesn't really matter," Emmett said when we were unpacking the groceries. "Jacob and Seth are coming for a visit and they both eat like… like werewolves."

"Why would that be?" I asked sarcastically.

Before Emmett had time to answer, Seth and Jacob appeared in the doorway. They were both shirtless and had smiles on their faces.

"Hi, Bella, Emmett," Seth said grinning.

"Where's Nessie?" Jacob asked and looked around.

"She's upstairs with Esme," I said. Esme had started to keep Nessie doing some kind of home teaching, since we couldn't put her in a normal school.

Jacob went upstairs to see Nessie while Seth stayed with us and sat on one of the chairs.

"So, what's up in La Push?" I asked Seth and sat opposite of him.

"Nothing special," Seth said. "And here?"

"Actually," I began. "We might have some problems."

"With what?" Seth asked.

"Well, there're more vampires," I said. "Three altogether. Two are in the same school, with us, and then they have a 'mother'."

"And they are not like you?" Seth asked and frowned.

"We actually aren't sure. For some reason, Alice can't see them at all, and they are really good at blocking their minds form Edward. First we thought that they were like us, but then we saw today's paper and we don't know anymore."

"Oh, we saw the article too," Seth said. "You thought vampires did that?"

"It makes sense."

"But it doesn't explain why Alice can't see them and Edward can't hear their thoughts clearly," Emmett said.

We were all quiet for a while.

"Seth, are you hungry? I can make you something to eat," Emmett asked at last.

"Sure," Seth said.

Emmett started to take groceries out of the closet, where we had put them, just a couple of minutes ago. Edward came into the kitchen, smiled at me, and quickly kissed me on my forehead before he turned to look at Seth.

"Hello, Seth. How are you?" he asked.

"Good," Seth answered and smiled. "Well, bored to death, actually, now when all the vampires are gone. But you seem to have some kind of a problem here?"

"Yes, though we can't be sure yet."

"But remember, if you need any help, just ask the pack."

"Sure," Edward said. "But I don't think it's anything you should worry about."

We talked with Seth and Edward while Emmett made a huge omelet for Seth, Jacob and Nessie.

They ate and then Nessie and Jacob went for a walk (Jacob turned into a wolf and Nessie rode on his back through the forest).

When they got back, it was already dark.

"I think we have to go back," Seth said. "It's late already, and we still have lots of studying to do."

Jacob looked like he couldn't care less about school, but he couldn't ignore the fact that Nessie had to get to sleep.

"Goodnight, Nessie," he said gently. I could hear all the love in his voice.

"Goodnight, Jacob. Goodnight, Seth," Nessie said happily and waved to them as they turned into wolves again and disappeared into the forest.
