I pulled my hand back; I didn't want to feel his touch, because the things I felt made me feel like I wasn't coherent. I was not myself; I was someone having a silly crush. It would be beautiful, if the crush hadn't been a vampire.

Uh oh, dead-end.

"Wolves? What are you talking about?" I asked, examining my hand.

I hoped that the good luck I had wouldn't show. My hand had hit his body and I wasn't sure whether I had heard a crack; a broken finger was the last thing I wanted.

"Don't you know? Remember the meadow, Bella, what did you say? The Quileute tribe descended from wolves." Edward answered, smiling sheepishly. I, on the other hand, was looking quite stupid. I felt dumb for not remembering Billy Black and his tales, now. Was Jacob a wolf? I doubted it, he was an innocent, young and hormone driven boy. There was no place for braveness and fur; I didn't even know how did a human look into its form of a wolf. I couldn't imagine Jacob being an animal.

"Now I do remember, but Jacob has nothing to do with it." I answered.

I heard a soft cough coming from the car; I bent down to look into it. My eyes widened. Sitting in the passenger's seat was Melody. She was being silent all this time, while I had talked to Edward, asking the questions and thinking over the ones I wanted to know the most.

I blinked.

"Yes, it's me." Melody murmured, she wasn't satisfied.

"Melody wanted to come, help in case there's a mess and you've already crossed the border." Edward explained.

I shot a look at him. What was he talking about? Were they babysitting me from a distance? I did not need to say anything aloud to get my question answered, Melody was the one to talk.

"He got worried that the wolves - being the most irritating and unpredictable beings - might go wild and attack you."

"Edward, this is nonsense. First, you say I shouldn't be friends with the Cullens, because you're a bunch of monsters, but now you're telling me that wolves are bad."

I was close to laughing at them being hypocrites.

"Since you're not my friend, anymore, I doubt you can forbid me to visit someone who hasn't dumped me because of his, supposed, nature." I snapped, looking at him.

Edward was looking hurt, I didn't mean to make him feel sorry, but now, I didn't really care if the words I said did harm to Edward's precious soul. He was being absurd and now he had dragged Melody along, I was doubtful about her enjoying this activity.

"Bella, would you stop being a child. It would be smart if you got into your car and headed home." Melody growled at me, her eyes shining in the moonlight. I crossed my hands over my chest.

"Your fiancé has some questions to answer." I wouldn't give in.

"Here we go again." Edward rolled his eyes at me.

I sensed a team forming. Edward and Melody versus my eager want to know things. I knew that they were strong character wise, but I wasn't the weak point now. The things he had said to me week before somehow had strengthened my opinions on things that I wanted and I knew that, eventually, they would have to answer.

For a moment, Edward and I had a staring match. His eyes were golden again, it made me calm yet I couldn't form a single trail of thought in my head. Whenever he did that, my mind went crazy; I didn't know why Edward Cullen had this effect on me.

"Melody don't even think about it." He said, catching me by surprise.

I hadn't heard Melody say a word, yet he was talking to her as if she had. I frowned.

"He can read people's minds." Melody chirped up, staring me down.

It was funny how she made me re-evaluate myself just with one look. As I had said many times before, next to her I was nothing.

"One question answered." I murmured, "Mine too?"

I blushed at the thought, what if he did? Then he would think that I am crazy and obsessed, wouldn't he? I wanted to mentally slap myself.

"No, your mind isn't in my frequency which I find weirdly fascinating."

I heard a quiet growl coming from where Melody was. She didn't like the words he had said, apparently.

"Is there something wrong with my head?"

I was unsure.

"That's a good question, but I have to ask it to myself, as I am the one who is clearly mad." Edward answered with a pained smile on his face.

The evening was glum. Moon shined through the clouds, though the scent of rain hadn't left the territory. Edward, Melody and I were the only ones on the road. It was weird how there was not a single car to pass us by and disturb the silent conversation.

"I will answer her questions, Edward. I promise not to hurt her, nor bite her or even scare her. I'll play nice." Melody spoke, looking at Edward, pleadingly.

They were talking about me as if I wasn't there. The thought of Melody answering my questions didn't seem appealing; she intimidated me. Edward and she were opposites, in my view, as I could be fine with one and completely scared of the other. Melody hadn't left a good impression after she had tried to kill me just because I was at the meadow with Edward. Everything had seemed to be real then, now I could call this all surreal. I had never thought of such possibilities existing, vampires and wolves, where there zombies to come, too?

"I know that you don't want to tell her everything because of who you are; I, on the other hand, would love to freak her out. Let her see that we're freaks and outfitters just like everyone think we are."

Melody added, looking at me with curiosity. Something in her eyes reminded me of a cat, she was well aware of what she was doing and she probably knew how I felt. I was heading to the dead end, done and finished. I didn't doubt it, she would love to finish me off, as she had shoved no hesitation before.

All I had wanted to do was visit Jacob, not a tough thing to do. Or so I thought. Now I was trapped between two vampires debating about who does what. I took a glance at Edward; his figure in the moonlight was beautiful…

"Only if I'm riding Bella's car behind you."

He yanked me out of my imagination. I thanked him, in thoughts, which luckily he didn't hear. From the corner of my eye, I saw Melody nod.

"Where are you taking me?"

I asked, trying to show them that I am capable of speaking and that I'm not a child.

"Home." Edward answered sharply, turning to Melody. He returned a nod to her and headed in the way where my car was. I had left the keys in the engine; no one would ever steal such treasure.

They had agreed on something in silence and I felt that it was not fair; I weighted the options of staying where I was, not moving a single bone.

"Bella, get in the car. You don't want to act like a child now." Melody murmured, taking the driver's seat.

I listened into her only because her voice sounded strict and I was concerned that it did not bring delight for both of us. I walked to the passenger's door, opened it and sat myself down. I wanted to get away and be home, I didn't know how would I explain such entrance to Charlie.

She didn't wait for anything, Melody started the car as soon as I was in. She turned it around instantly. She was good at driving, but I couldn't understand why she was acting so controlling over me. They both were a puzzle for me, and I couldn't finish it no matter how hard I tried. I needed answers.

"I hate to be doing this, honestly, but I can't let you spend more time with Edward."

Melody spoke, keeping her eyes on the road. I could hear the sound of my car's engine behind us, it meant that Edward was driving it and I felt sorry for him. He had to listen to his girlfriend and me. Both opposites; who we were and what standards we had.

I didn't answer to her, as I didn't want to turn it into a battle for Edward. That would have been unnecessary. I looked out of the window, she was driving much faster and the speed was increasing. I was careful not to glance at the speedometer, I didn't want to have a heart attack, so, instead, I cramped into the door handle and bit my lip.

The rearview mirror had Edward nowhere in sight, of course, my car wasn't that fast to keep up.

"I don't like when people take away or try to take away the things I like."

After a moment of silence, Melody added.

"I'm not trying to take away anything, Melody. I was being a friend, he turned me down and now you act like this. All I want is answers. No more than you promised." I looked over at her, from the spite in her eyes I could tell that she didn't believe a word.

"Alright, answers. You've got them. Ask." She snarled, slowing down.

I was thankful when I saw my car's lights coming closer.

"How does one become a vampire?"

I asked the first thing in my mind.

"I was bitten, Carlisle was bitten, Edward was bitten… a vampire bites you and the venom burns through your body. I don't remember anything from the process, as I try to extinguish every bad memory I have, but I remember the pain. You think you can move, you function, but you don't. It's all a lie, you're burning and screaming in pain. And after an individual amount of time the one who's bitten wakes up and is a vampire. Crimson red eyes, power and blood lust. It doesn't happen in a snap, it's a lot more than that, but I don't trust you enough to tell you how I was changed and when. All you have to know is, we're older than you or your father or your grandfather. We have experienced many things."

The process seemed fascinating to me, I tried to imagine what it would be like to be beautiful, to stand next to Edward or other Cullens and feel equal. Be graceful, not stumble around and trip every day.

"What things?" I was curious.

"I won't answer you that, any more questions?" Melody said, sounding annoyed.

I didn't understand why was she jealous of me, I had nothing compared to her.

"You don't bite humans."

It was more of a statement.

"Yes, we're vegetarian. It gets frustrating, but we try to hold ourselves off. The first day when Edward saw you, he almost went mental from your sense. However, to me you are the same as everyone else. Very plain, I must say."

I could see a smirk; I shivered. Melody didn't seem to notice it, as she was being smug and kept her eyes on the road.

While I was asking her questions, we had crossed the Forks boundary. I didn't know if she would be taking to my house, so I decided to use the time that was left.

"Why didn't Edward want me to go to the reservation?"

"If something bad happened, he wouldn't be capable to stop it. Edward has told me how protective he feels of you, it makes me feel disgusting. Vampires and wolves have a treaty. We do not enter their lands, we don't hunt there." She explained.

"One more question. Do all of you have powers?" I asked.

"No, as far as I know, it's Edward, Alice and Jasper. I can bet that you don't know what their power is. Alice can foresee future, she can see the decisions one makes, so it's not a crystal clear future. Jasper can sense feelings, but the bad aspect is that it can reflect on him, too." Melody answered.

I saw a familiar road; we were not far from my home.

"Will you take me to my door step and greet my dad?"

I was being sarcastic. Yes, Bella and sarcastic.

We were at the start of the street I lived on. Melody stopped the car, looking at me.

"No, I'm stopping here and you're getting in your own car." She ordered, looking in the rearview mirror. Edward had pulled behind and was out of his car in a moment.

I opened the door and, hesitating got out, straightening up.

On my way back to car, I exchanged a glance with Edward; he stopped me by pulling my sleeve. My heart must've stopped by then.

"Your dad has company that smells like a bunch of dogs. Have a, I guess, pleasant evening."

He murmured at me, with an alarming look in his eyes. There was also repulsion in his face. Was Edward acting paranoid once more? I watched him leap into the passenger's seat and opened the door of my car. They sped off, as I was just starting the Chevy. It was being stubborn, but after the third time, I finally got it to work.

I drove up to my house, noticing another car parked in front of it.

Oh, no! I thought Has Charlie invited Billy Black? Gosh, please no.

I wasn't ready for Charlie's reaction after he would've realized that I hadn't visited Blacks. I shut the door, locked the car and went inside. As I was putting my jacket on the hanger, I heard muffled laughter greeting me.

"Dad?"

"Bells, the living room."

I went to the living room just to see Charlie, Jacob and Billy all in front of the TV. Men. They looked very comfortable in the positions they were. Beer cans and bowls of junk food. I winced, could it get better than this? I put my hands on my hips and looked at dad; he didn't seem to notice that I hadn't been at Billy's, that I hadn't visited Jacob… What was going on?

"Umm, dad, won't you ask me where I've been?"

I was bewildered. In any other time, he would've gone crazy over where I've been. I didn't spend the time outside the house, I wasn't social or outgoing.

"Why would I? I got a call from Alice Cullen and she told me that you've arranged plans to hang out together; didn't it go like this? Then I decided to invite Billy and Jacob over for a good old match of football." Charlie answered his eyes on the screen.

"Also, didn't you have to talk to Jacob?"

That meant, the Cullens had seen this before. Alice had gone to trick my dad into thinking I wasn't going to the reservation and they had plotted a nice idea on how to get me back. I WAS being treated like a child.

"Yes, it went like that. Sort of. Jacob, can I talk to you?"

"Of course, I could use some other company." He answered.

Jacob seemed to have forgotten the incident, Charlie had not. He warningly glanced at Jacob, and then turned his attention to the screen. The priorities he had…

Once Jacob and I were in the kitchen, I saw at the counter and he took a seat next to me. I looked over at him; I hoped he wouldn't be hormone driven tonight.

"I wanted to apologize, Jacob. For kicking you and pushing you off-"

He shushed me.

"I should apologize, I was being a prick and I deserved it. I hope we can stay friends, though, it would suck to miss a friend like you."

I blushed, smiling at him. This was the nice thing about Jacob, he could be a prick, but he did apologize about it. Unlike someone I knew.

"Alright, now that it has been cleared up, I will head for bed." I told him, Jacob answered in a moment.

"I'll tell my father and Charlie to keep their voices down, then."

I laughed.

"It's okay, I can't hear them upstairs."

Both of us stood up, I could see Jacob lingering.

"Bella, would you mind a bone crushing hug?" he asked, pleadingly.

I laughed, allowing him to wrap his arms around me. I patted him on the back. It was nice to have someone other than friends I had in school. The warmth Jacob was radiating amazed me, as I had spent two hours in the company of marble, ice-cold statues that knew how to dictate me. I was angry with Edward and Melody and maybe, even, Alice. I didn't want to be ordered like that, but when Jacob had hugged me, the warmth took my worries away. I smiled.

"Good night, Jacob." I said, as I went upstairs. He scuffed off to the living room, I felt sorry for him having to spend an evening with two old men. I didn't want to invite him to my room, though.

I turned the lights on and opened my window. I liked to sleep with fresh air in the room. The night was silent, I liked that Forks wasn't a loud city. It was peaceful and little, I had grown to liking it. After writing an email to Renee, I looked at the tiny pile of home works, but it wasn't anything I wouldn't be able to do in the morning. They weren't complicated, at least for me.

I could hear the booming laughter from the downstairs. I had lied to Jacob; their laughter was awfully loud.

I took my pajamas and went to the bathroom. There I took a shower, washed my face and brushed my teeth. When I was dressed and clean, I attempted to put my hair in a bun while I was walking back to my room. I had just gotten in when I grasped that it was a wrong move. I tripped, but two cold hands caught me. He had returned.

"I'm tired of staying away, Bella."

I heard his voice murmur. His mood swings were insane, but somehow, I felt butterflies shooting up my spine.

"Even you do smell awful lot like a dog."

A/N: thank you for reading!

You can ask any questions regarding the story. I'm sorry that it's all Bella's POV, I didn't mean to, but it happened!
