Thank you so much for all of your reviews! I now have a picture of Lady on my profile! Well as close as I can find.
Jacob was about to start talking, he had his mouth open and was taking in a breath of air when Lady stuck her head out over the top of the stairs. I smiled widely and laughed breezily. Jacob turned around and saw Lady sticking her head out with her head cocked to the side and her ears perked up.
"How rude of me I have forgotten to introduce you to my wonderful dog, her name is Lady" I grinned standing up like a proud mother and walking over to the top of the stairs crouched down and patted my legs calling for her.
"Lady, come here. Sweetie!" I cooed, she walked forward wagging her tail. I clapped my hands again, that was all it took for her to run down the stairs. She wasn't used to running on the slick hard wood floors; she slid right into me taking me to the floor.
I laughed more freely than I had in so long. Jacob laughed too, I pet Lady she licked my face, she is in a very good mood today. Jacob walked slowly over, I glanced nervously at Lady, she isn't so good with boys.
To my surprise Lady sniffed the air and ran over to Jacob licking his arms and face. I smiled, she tried to jump on him but he is pretty tall. Eventually Lady calmed down and settled under the kitchen table, occasionally licking Jacobs shoes.
"What were we talking about?" Jacob asked, I was about to answer when thunder erupted making me jump and my heart flutter. "Oh yea I was going to tell you scary Quileute legends" Jacob said quickly, obviously trying to change the subject.
"Now I remember" I told him leaning back. Jacob told me all about the cold ones aka vampires and men who turn into wolfs. It was very interesting really, but I couldn't help but compare the mythical creatures in the web Jacob spun to the Cullen's.
"Who are the Cold ones?" I asked at the end of the story, Jacob leaned forward dramatically. He paused to remind me that its only a story from some bored old men. Then finally the answer I was waiting for.
"The Cullen's, you know Dr. Cullen his family" I leaned back in shock, could what he is saying be true. Before I was able to process the information Charlie and Billy entered the room.
"Time to leave Jake" Billy said gruffly. They left, but not before Billy gave me a worried glance.
"I'm going to bed Dad, see you tomorrow." I told him wrapping my arms around myself and running upstairs quickly, Lady followed. I had to think about what Jacob said, could Edward and his family really be vampires?
My immediate response was no that's insane, but then what about that extremely long list of strange things about them all. The way their eyes seem to change color, there are so many other things I could name. If they only had one or two weird things it would be normal, but when I add them all up I don't get human.
Could he be a vampire though? A blood sucking vampire, they do drink animal blood according to Jake though. All I know is Edward Cullen is not a human, he's something more.
What do I do about that though? I need him in my life; I don't know what I would do with out him. I can't imagine anything good though. So what if Edwards not human, I'm not normal and you don't see him running away. But he doesn't really know anything for sure, a small voice in my head reminded me.
So now that I know something about him, do I have to tell him? If he tells me about himself then I would have to tell him about me. I don't know if I can do that yet. I should probably just not say anything; go on with life as usual. I lay down on my bed, sleep took me quickly.
I was standing in the a wet forest somewhere with Jake next to me. Jake shimmered and disappeared, he was replaced by Edward. Not the Edward I know though. Edward had blood red eyes and fangs, he glared at me like he did the first day.
Andrew stood behind him with a wooden stake, I tried to scream out to him my voice didn't work again. Edward started walking toward me slowly, his grace was more like a predator than before.
Andrew also walked forward, my voice still wouldn't work no matter how hard I tried .Andrew started shimmering, he transformed into a wolf. Andrew lunged at Edward, I screamed and this time my voice worked.
Edward turned around in shock just in time to see the black wolf flying at him, it took out part of his shoulder. But the wolf didn't want Edward, he used his back legs to push off Edward and into me.
I jolted upright in bed, I was cold and clammy. I don't care what Edward is, I don't even care if he hurts me, I would probably deserve it anyway. Even if he is only getting close to me to suck all of my blood out, it really doesn't matter. As long as I get to spend every second of life before that with him then I'm ok.
To a stranger I would probably sound suicidal, but I'm not. I have no urge to take one of the knives in the kitchen and slit my wrists, I don't want to rip the gun off the holster that Charlie so often leaves at home and blow my brains out.
I'm not saying that I want to be dead, but if I am going to die I would want it to be at the hands of someone I care about. So my last few moments of live are good ones. My logic may be a bit off, but that's just how I feel I cant do anything to help that.
Why should I be so scared of something I know will happen, if Drew doesn't get to me Edward and his vampireness will right? Why be scared of death, that's the worst thing Drew can do to me. There is nothing else that could hurt me… except him hurting someone else.
Like Edward, I don't know what he really is. I don't know if he is superman and can stand up to bullets or knifes. Edward should be no where near me when Andrew comes, and he will come if I only know one thing for sure that's it.
It anyone gets hurt because of me I don't think I could stand it. Actually I know I wouldn't be able to. Its time to stop fearing death, it happens to everyone some just sooner than others.
I pushed myself off of my bed and went through my morning routine, it was the same as any other morning but it felt better, clearer. I went through school easily, Edward didn't come and pick me up but he did wait for me by his car. He looked just the same as always, I half expected him to have fangs.
Edward walked me back to my car, he surprised me by getting into the passenger side. I looked over at him, extremely confused. What is he doing?
"What are you doing?" I asked, Edward smirked showing off his shimming deadly white teeth.
"I'm coming to your house, with you" Edward told me like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Well it probably was but Edwards eyes gave me a bit of trouble when I needed to think coherently.
"ok" I told him and let the engine rumble to life, it was nothing like the gentle purr of the Volvo. We drove in silence, with me going to respected speed required by law something Edward seems to have trouble with.
We reached my house quickly enough though, I pulled my bag off the floor, and Edward did the same. I lead the way through the slosh to the door, desperate to get out of the rain. I lead Edward into the kitchen, he sat down in the seat furthest away from the door, I sad across from him.
"We should do homework. You probably have a lot." Edward speculated, I nodded I have been gone from school for a week.
"Tons" I frowned slinging my bag onto the table, it landed with a thud. Edward chuckled lightly, I pursed my lips. Edward pulled out his history text book and a note pad, he skimmed the pages quickly and started writing.
I pulled out my own Advanced Algebra text book and started flipping to the page, I was flipping them quickly, probably too quickly. As I slip my finger across the thin shinny page it cut my index finger. I pulled in air sharply as I winced, a drop of red blood formed on my finger
I looked up to Edward, nervous. His eyes were pitch black, he stood quickly the chair squealed across the floor. He reminded me of the day I first met him, he looked like he wanted to eat me and he probably did.
"I have to go" Edward muttered walking swiftly to the door, but I stood up too. He stopped by me. Edward stood over me, his lips a centimeter from my neck.
"Why?" I asked, if he wants to kill me isn't now the perfect time? What's stopping him. Edward leaned closer, I couldn't see his face from this angle my pulse was going faster that I thought possible.
"I don't want to hurt you" his voice sounded tortured. That threw me for a loop, why wouldn't he want to hurt me. Isn't that what this is all about? If he doesn't want to hurt me then why is he with me?
the more review i get the more i write.. btw im really excited for the next couple of chapters!!!!
