Chapter threeeeeee!

Yey! And my new plan is to try to type AT LEAST a thousand words per chapter. Unless I have to make an exception of course.

No flames, criticism is alrighty-o, reviews are the best... etc.

"Louis is a..." I gulped.

"Yes, Claudia, he is one of us. He is a vampire."

In that next moment I made up my mind.

"Then I want to be one too." I said stubbornly.

All of the vampires around me, plus Bella, stared, gaping.

"Why do all of the humans that find out about us, instead of turning and fleeing for their lives, want to become one of the eternally damned! Edward growled, breaking the silence and storming off.

"What do you mean?" I asked, perplexed.

"Honey, Bella wants to become a vampire also." said Esme, motherly.

I stared at Bella and she nodded and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh."

"And anyway," Carlisle said quickly, "Claudia, don't you think you ought to know a bit more about us than what you do now before you jump to conclusions?"

"That's a good point, when I knew this much about Edward, I had never even dreamed of becoming one myself." said Bella.

"That's good then, because you aren't becoming one!" Edward snarled to Bella.

"Yes I am!" she hissed back, "If you don't do it, then Carlisle will. You know that. And, Edward, you promised, after we get-" she couldn't finish, for Edward cut her off with a low growl.

"Bella, no. Not now. Everyone will find out later. Except of course Alice..."

Alice smirked and the others glared questioningly.

"Claudia, I think that we should fill you in on what being a vampire really means, and also, the last two years since Bella got here." Alice said after a long silence.

Two and a half hours later Bella, Edward and I returned to Bella's (and my) house, and I, was in shock. I had just been taught all about the Cullen family history, or rather the Cullen coven history, plus some of the vampire stuff. 'Wow.' was all I could think.

"Claudia, why don't you go to bed now? You must be exhausted. I'm sure it's been a very long day for you." Bella said sympathetically. She was quite right. I needed sleep. Luckily tomorrow was a Saturday, and I could sleep in, but only until 8 forty-five, as we had agreed to meet at the Cullen's house tomorrow at 9, because they said that I still had a lot to learn. Today we had only been through the Cullens before Bella, and, as Alice had put it, what vampires really were.

That night I had the same dream, only this time I knew what it meant, and this time I was actually sleeping. But at the point when he was supposed to attack me, instead I tried attacked him and he ran away until we were on the beach and out of the forest. I had lost him again. But now I noticed why I had chased him. This time I was a vampire too. And just before I woke up screaming, I saw a woman with fiery red hair and black smoldering eyes that would haunt me in my sleep and otherwise, and all she said was Claudia! Help me! You must help me... and it faded away, but the part that made me scream and wake up was that the words had been said in Louis' voice. The woman with the taunting black eyes full of hunger had spoken my love's words in his voice.

Bella and, surprisingly, Edward first, (though now that I think about it, it shouldn't be surprising that he was there first, after all, he was a vampire) came bounding (and in Bella's case, falling) into my room and rushed to my new bed. I just realized that I was half naked, sweaty and tied up in the sheets, and so I blushed very quickly and fixed myself.

"What happened!" Bella asked in a concerned whisper as she stared at her with wide eyes.

"Did someone hurt you?" Edward asked frantically, "Was someone here? Was Victoria..." he trailed off.

"No. nothing happened. I-I just had a nightmare. I, I had a nightmare about Louis, as a... as a vampire." I was starting to get hysterical, "And me. I was a vampire too. I a-attacked him. I attacked Louis!" I started sobbing and Bella gasped and put her arms around me soothingly.

We all stayed there for a while and Edward sat down on the other side of me from Bella and put a hand on my back, trying to comfort me as they murmured comforting things to me.

Before I knew it, I was awake. It was morning and Bella was asleep on Edward's lap on the floor. Edward wasn't asleep. Of course not; he was a vampire. But he just watched her sleep. I could tell that he loved her more than any words could possibly ever describe. That's how it had been (still was, I told myself) with Louis and I. I just hoped that it could still be the same, after. After what, I didn't know, but after this was all through and everything was back to normal. Not that I really believed that it would ever be normal again. I know now that I knew, somewhere, that nothing would ever be the same after this.

Just then I knew that Edward was listening in again because he looked up at me and smiled. But it wasn't just a smile; it was a smile that was giving pity. I smiled back, then I fell back to sleep.

I woke up a few hours later to Bella shaking me awake and saying it was almost time to go.

I went through my morning routine, although it was a bit different than the morning before, first of all because I was in a new home and second, because I knew that my boyfriend was a dangerous and most likely blood-lusting vampire, out there killing people in the forest to sustain himself.

Just before Charlie came into Bella's room, which was where our getting ready process was happening, Edward was, in a flash, in the closet hiding.

Knock knock knock

"Come in" Bella chimed

"So where are you girls off to so early?" asked Charlie hesitantly, as if he already knew the answer and was just checking so he had a reason to sulk.

"We're going to the Cullen's place." said Bella curtly.

"Bella-"

"No, dad. I'm going. There's nothing you can do to stop me. I'm going to be with Edward forever." she paused for a moment, "We-we're getting married."

Charlie gaped and turned red.

"Wh..."

"And now, if you don't mind we need to get ready still. So if you please..." Bella didn't need to finish. Charlie, still gaping and blinking, and by the looks of it, about to fall over from shock and horror, left the room quickly, most likely to go and call a military school for Bella.

"Bella." scolded Edward, immediately next to her side, "Bella, did you really need to-"

"Yes. Yes I did. Charlie needs to know, and if this whole thing is going to work..." once again, she didn't need to finish her sentence. The point was there.

'They were getting married!'

"Since when?" I cried.

"I think that you'll be filled in about that today. As a matter of fact, my whole family will be filled in." said Edward, sulking, but not being able to help himself, the sulk slowly becoming a grin that lit up the room.

Thank you and good night.

I hope you all liked it. I did. I loved this one. Dunno why.

Rate, pwease.
