Chapter 4: Riddles unsolved- again
Bella's P.o.V.
I let my mind take over, "What did you mean by your family will be exposed?" Carlisle tensed.
"Bella, how could you have possibly heard that!?" Carlisle seemed completely stunned. "We were standing outside of the emergency room! There is no way unless…"
"Answer my question and then I'll answer yours!" I shouted at him but his face stayed blank. I could tell he was deep in thought, I just don't know why! This is so confusing, and aggravating.
I was getting impatient and losing my temper, fast "Answer my question!" I dragged out my words trying to get through to him.
"I need to get you to my house to do some tests. Get dressed and I'll be back in a moment," Carlisle avoided my question.
Just as he was walking out I screamed, "I'm not going anywhere with you until you answer my question!" I lost my temper.
"Bells, you need to calm down, please" Alice called to me. I took a deep breath.
"Can we please talk about this when we get home?" Carlisle begged.
Just then, a nurse ran in, "Is everything alright?" She asked Carlisle.
I took charge, "I'm fine. I just lost my temper." The nurse walked out of the room with an 'ok.'
"You owe me," I said to Carlisle. He nodded. "Okay, we'll go, but you will have to explain everything before you do anything," I ordered calmly emphasizing on the "everything". He nodded again and left the room.
"I'm sorry I blew up like that, Ali," I apologized.
"It's fine. We should get ready." With that Alice ripped the needle out of her arm and pushed a button on the heart monitor to turn it off.
I tried to stand up but got a sharp pain shot through my arm and leg. I cried out in pain. Alice grabbed my unhurt arm before I collapsed.
"Probably shouldn't have tried to stand," I joked, "How are we going to get out of here?" Alice chuckled.
I slowly stood holding onto the wall for support and inched my way to our clothes because Alice had a broken a leg too. Finally, I made it back to the bed, clothes in hand. We silently got dressed. I was wearing a black pair of sweat-pants and a long sleeved blue shirt. Alice was disgusted with her baggy black shorts and black tank top. She had to wear baggy shorts because of her huge cast. I stared at it waiting for it to go away and for me to wake up from this nightmare. I don't even know how this happened, let alone if I still want to be around the Cullen's! I giggled at the face she was making Alice will be Alice, man I love her so much!
Five minutes later Carlisle walked in the room with two wheelchairs.
"Are you ready?" Carlisle asked us. We both nodded. He wheeled the chairs around the bed next to us. I took a deep breath and stood up. The siring pain threatened to make me collapse but I fought it and dropped myself into the wheel chair while Carlisle helped Alice into hers.
"Nurse, could you help me bring these girls out to my car. I think they might feel better at…" Carlisle paused, "home." We were soon out in the car driving at 100 mph to the Cullen house. Instead of using the wheel chairs, Carlisle carried first Alice inside and then me. We were set on the couch. Carlisle was exceptionally strong!
"Okay, were here, now it's your end of the bargain. Start explaining," I rationalized.
Carlisle stood up. Then it dawned on me, where are the Cullen kids?
"Where is everyone?" I thought aloud.
"Which questions would you like answered first?" He sounded amused but tense at the same time. I sat thinking for a minute not knowing who to ask my question.
"Umm… this might seem weird but… what are you?" I asked sounding extremely stupid.
"Ah, you are smart my dear girl. Well, my family -"
Alice cut him off, "Just give us a straight answer!" She basically begged.
"Well… first, I want you to know," Alice was about to interrupt but Carlisle held up his hand instantly shushing her, "let me say this then I will tell you. I want you to know that we will not hurt you and don't panic. Are we clear?"
Alice and I nodded.
"Okay, we are not human, like you portrayed. We are…" Carlisle opened his mouth but not one word came out after 'are.'
"Spit it out!" Alice and I screamed at the top of our lungs, and of course at the same time.
"Vampire…" He whispered and if I didn't see his lips move I wouldn't have known he spoke. My whole body went numb. Did he just say what I thought he said?
"Huh?" Alice obviously didn't hear him because her voice was still irritated.
"My family and I are," he paused, "vampires." Wait, his family, too! How can… wait… Edwards a vampire! I grabbed my knees and pulled them up to my chest, ignoring the pain. My breath hitched and my heart went into overdrive. I didn't even look over to see Alice's reaction. The world around me seemed to just stop. Nothing seemed important, I was off to my own world, my mined racing a thousand miles ahead of me.
I heard Alice ask something. I closed my eyes to block out what she asked. I thought I already knew the answer to the simple question, "What do you eat?" She asked it without stuttering. She didn't seem scared at all. The thing is I don't even know why I'm scared! I relaxed my muscles and lowered my feet as I talked myself out of… whatever it was I was feeling. I took a deep breath, and then another.
That's when I heard Carlisle's answer, "We, as in my whole family, do not hunt humans," I let out the breath I was holding, wait when was I holding my breath?, relieved by his answer, "We eat, or shall I say drink, animal blood. That is why we can be around humans, and why Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper can go to a public school, or any school for that matter."
Then out of know where I asked "What is different from humans and vampires, besides the drinking blood part," I let my curiosity take over.
"Well" Carlisle began "do you want me to tell you or show you?" he asked. Ali and I looked at each other, knowing exactly what the other was thinking nodding to each other. This was going to be awesome! We both looked at Carlisle, he seems kind of nervous, why would he be nervous? Hum… Oh well, I just brushed it off but reminded myself not to forget about it.
"Show us" Alice and I said at the same time, with a hint of excitement. We put all our fears behind us for the time being.
The front door of the house creaked open revealing Emmett who walked into the house, smiling from ear to ear. Rosalie followed with her hand in his. She seemed slightly annoyed and amused. Just as Rosalie walked through the door, Jasper slid in as well, his face was somewhat calm. This just gets better by the minute! Wait... where was Edward? O that's right the hospital thing… Oops… To tell you the truth I was a little disappointed… O well.
Carlisle walked over with the Cullen kids and said, "Okay, we'll show you then. Let's go outside." Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper walked outside and stood in the driveway. Carlisle held open the door for Alice and I. Esme walked over from the kitchen as we all walked outside.
I looked over at Alice meeting her eyes. We silently prepared for the upcoming surprises. Finally, we focused our attention to the Cullen's.
