Umm, I don't have anything to say today.

Here's chapter 3

************

On my way to the palace library for some new reading material I thought about everything I learned from Edward about vampires from that first night.

He had a special talent to read anyone's mind within a 3-mile radius, but for some strange reason my mind was completely blank to him. Not even a whisper could he detect from me, it was as if I did not even exist.

His strength and speed were both far greater than any humans, I pictured the great Herakles, god turned mortal as a babe but still kept some of his incredible abilities. Edward demonstrated his supernatural abilities by flitting over to my window in less than second and then returning to my side the next second.

When I asked him how many there was of him he told me he had never met any, he didn't even have a clue how he was made into what he was.

"Then how did you know what you had become?" I had asked him, as he laid his head next to mine on my pillow.

"Well, I'm not sure but when I was in Slovakia a human had saw me…" he struggled to say the word, "feeding. He shouted 'vampire' and I just assumed that was what I am so, here I am. I'm a vampire." he grinned half-heartedly.

He had been a 'vampire' for around two centuries and he had never met another vampire? Perhaps he was the first, bitten by a-a bat or something. Some of them drank blood, didn't they? Perhaps that is what happened.

He was 17 almost to his 18th birthday when he was transformed into his new form, so I had been almost correct when I had first saw him.

His skin is completely impenetrable, as hard as a diamond and he couldn't be harmed by any known thing, certainly not humans. Also, he had no need to breathe, that I found very fascinating.

And he sparkles. When the sun touches his skin it glitters as if he were a precious jewel on my sisters fine jewelry they wore. As I yawned I also remembered Edward couldn't sleep, how horrid, to never be able to escape from this world and be alone in your own head.

A painting caught my eye as I rounded the corner to the library and I moved closer to look at my favorite painting in the castle. It was of my parents when they had first been wed, so young and beautiful, nothing like me and their daughters.

No, I wasn't even their daughter anymore, they didn't deserve to have a daughter as hideous as me. I know my family loves me but I can't take it anymore, I really hope Edward comes soon so I can escape.

I continued to the library fighting back tears.

**************************

5 months before my 17th birthday I was summoned to the study where my father usually does all his document signing and other legal matters. I was summoned one…last…time.

My parents, sisters, and their newly wedded husbands were waiting for me as I walked with my head held high to my seat, not looking at any of them. I already knew what was coming and what I would say.

"Darling Isabella, you are most definitely grown, what are you going to do?" my mother asked yet again. I sighed internally and quickly ran over what I would tell her.

"What will I do mother? Father? Tell me, because I certainly don't know. Every time I tell you what I want to do you all reprimand me and call me a 'silly girl'. So tell me what am I going to do?" I asked angrily.

"Absolutely nothing." Marie said, unfazed by my outburst, did she even hear a word I said?

"But you would do it with taste and elegance." Lillian gushed, as though they were talking about a handsome man.

"And you would spend all your time being beautiful." Angela added, smoothing her already perfect hair. I was growing angrier every passing second.

"You are all idiots!" I exploded, "how can you just sit in this castle doing nothing all the time? No one besides father has ever left this ridiculous castle! I am dying inside being cooped up in here I want to explore the world see everything there is to see. I want to escape!" I finished.

"I think she is angry with us." Marie whispered to Lillian who looked at me stupidly. That was it, I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran screaming and sobbing from the study to my room.

"Edward! Edward please, save me! Get me out of here, take me wherever you want to go, just please take me away." I sobbed. He appeared next to me and I jumped onto him wrapping my arms around his neck and sobbing into his shoulder. He rubbed my back and rocked me back and forth as I cried.

"Please don't leave me tonight Edward. Just wait until those…buffoons go to sleep then take me away from this horrid place." I whispered from his shoulder where my head was resting.

"Yes, yes Bella. Absolutely." I couldn't see his face but I knew he was absolutely ecstatic that I was finally leaving with him. I now know why I didn't go with him the first two times, and it had nothing to do with the fact that he might be harmed or I had my duties.

Because the truth was, I knew, even before I really knew why, that Edward could never be harmed by the palace guards. I have no duties that I had to tend to, none of us did, except for the king and queen. I guess I was just afraid to leave the castle since I had never left the grounds once in my life.

Now I was more than ready to be rid of this place, forever.

We waited, staring into each others eyes, for my ex-family and the servants to go to bed before we left. After waiting 2 or 3 hours Edward confirmed that everyone was fast asleep and that we could leave.

"Climb on my back dear, we have a ways to go." he picked me up and put me on his back then I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and my legs around his waist. Once I was ready to go he started to run

Ok, in chapter 1 I accidentally made Lillian say there might be werewolves or vampires in the mountains, it was supposed to be goblins and trolls, they don't know about vampires or werewolves yet. Sorry! Hope you liked the chapter! Please review, I'd really like 10! I hope that's not too much to ask for but I know you ladies and maybe some gentlemen can do it!
