Chapter 6

Edward POV

I was sitting on the couch next to Max on our way home in the jet thinking about what Alice told me. Max's father Jeb was a scientist. Alice thinks he experimented on her or she has a medical problem with her heart. I'll have to find a way to ask her. She must have fallen asleep because she started to lean on me. I'm glad I hunted before I left forks or I would have killed Max and her sister. There was an hour and a half left of the ride so I closed my eyes so I could think. I wonder if Max knows were vampires yet. Her senses are inhuman. She can feel Jasper send waves of emotions to her. She can tell when I try to read her mind just by looking at the expression on my face. It could be a matter of days before she found out. I'll have to be careful around her. Ella seems to be just a human but she knows Max's secret. I'll have to watch her too. I stiffened as Max started to move. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged herself closer to me. I looked over to Ella.

"Just let her be she'll wake up soon, she takes cat naps" she said holding back laughter

I was about to say something but Ella put her finger to her mouth

Her scent was too much I have to do something. She looked like she was in a deep sleep. I gently moved her hands from around me and to her sides. Got up slowly and laid her down on the couch. I sat down across from Ella and shook my head. She laughed.

"Is she always that touchy when she's asleep" I asked

"Not really." Ella said thinking "She doesn't fall asleep around anyone but me and Jeb she must trust you"

"Maybe but I don't think so" I said looking over to Max

"I think so. If she didn't trust you she wouldn't have let you on the plane, she wouldn't have let you drive, and she would have kicked your ass for following her to Arizona" Ella said smiling

"She does have that kind of personality" I said "What did she mean I don't know the secret?"

"Oh I can't tell you that she'd kill me or worse" she said with a worried look

"What would be worse than her killing you" I asked

"She could set all my cloths on fire. I can't live without my wardrobe" she said

"You sound like my sister Alice" I said laughing "You'll have to meet her"

"That's what Max said" she said

Then the flight attendant came to us. "You should wake up Max the plane is about to land"

"Okay" Ella said "I'll wake her up" She got up and walked over to the couch. She leaned over to Max's ear and whispered "Max, Brigid is here" and took a step back. I didn't understand until Max shot up. Looking around crazily.

Max POV

"Max, Brigid is here" I heard Ella say. Okay whatever wait say what. I shot up and looked around. Nobody here but me Ella and Edward. Ella started to giggle.

"Not cool Ella" I said narrowing my eyes at her "I should burn your clothes"

"Calm down Max the plane is about to land I had to wake you up" She said between laughs

"You could have woke me up normally" I said

"But where's the fun in that" she said I must be rubbing off on her

"Whatever Ella get back in your seat the plane's about to land" I said rolling my eyes

We got off the plane and walked toward the parking lot. I noticed Edward's Volvo was next to my motorcycle. I looked at him he just smiled.

"You don't mind taking Ella to my house do you Edward" I asked

"Not at all I think me and Ella will become friends" he said smiling

"She won't tell you" I said

"I know I already tried"

"Do you know how to get to my house"

"Yes it's not too far from mine" he said "And I'm not a stalker"

"Give me your cell number" I said "Just in case"

He put it in my phone and got in his car and I got on my motorcycle. I was first out of the parking lot and I was going fast. I had to feel the wind around me.

Max slow down there's a police car coming up said the voice. Thank god for the voice in my head. I slowed down just in time to not get caught by the police. After it was all clear I started going fast again. I got there in a half hour. A few minutes later Edward came with Ella. I got her stuff and waved goodbye to Edward as he drove off. When we got inside I found a note from Jeb.

NOTE from Jeb

Max I've been asked to help with the FBI in L.A. You and Ella will stay there in Forks. Nino will have someone deliver you food so you don't have to go shopping. My old friend Billy Black will come and check on you from time to time. I call you later. Hope to see you soon. – Jeb

END of note

"Well Ella Jeb won't be here for a while, so we have the house to ourselves." I said showing her, her room. When I got in my room my super avian-hybrid senses went on. Someone was in my room. Their scent was incredibly sweet. Of course. The Cullens they make me so mad. And out of nowhere bolts of lightning came flying out of my finger tips. Then the power went off but came back on quickly.

"Max what was that" Ella asked as she ran into my room.

"I think it was me" I said looking at my fingers "When I get mad lightning comes out of my fingers"

"No way try it again" Ella said

"Okay make me mad" I told her

" set your combat boots on fire" she said and bolts of lightning shot out of my finger tips and out the window.

"That felt good" I said cracking my knuckles

"Max your eyes started to glow red before the bolts of lightning came" she said

"You have to come with me to the Edwards house and before you ask why they are not human and I don't know what they are yet. And they are trying to find out what I am. And one of them were in my room. Know let's go Jeb left his car." I said pulling her down the stairs and into Jeb's car. I started driving and I was at their house in 5 minutes. I dragged Ella up to the door. I didn't have to knock because Carlisle opened the door.

"Hello Max won't you and your friend come in" he said calmingly

"Yes we will come in and this is my sister Ella" I said sweetly he nodded and led us in. He took us into the living room and everyone was in there. Oh joy.

"Hi Max" Emmett said smiling

"Hi Emmett" I said forgetting why I was here "You guys got some explaining to do"

"For what" Esme asked

"One of you went in my house and in my room. I don't know who did it but I want to know why." I said crossing my arms. "Just because I found out Jasper's power doesn't mean you can snoop around my house when I'm gone"

Everyone was silent. Typical that always happens when I want answers.

"How did you know" Rosalie asked

"It smelled like a Cullen was in there" I said

"Why is she her" Jasper asked looking at Ella. She stepped behind me

"The human is here in case I get mad" I said

"Why did you say human?" Carlisle asked

"Because you and I know she's the only human here" I said and they narrowed their eyes

"Why do you say were not human you don't have proof." Rosalie said

"Because you don't have heartbeats, you run as fast as you drive, and your skin is ice-cold" I said and Ella giggled. I looked at her "What's so funny chuckles"

"Everything you just said screamed vampire in my head" she said

"So true" I said thinking "Just like in Nino's story"

"Nino Pierpont the world's richest man you know him" Emmett asked

"Yes he's my best friend" I said "Why didn't my question get answered"

"Oh it slipped my mind" Rosalie snorted

"I bet it did" I said back to her

"Max your eyes are red" Ella said

"Okay" I said "I think we should leave"

"Don't leave" Edward said popping up in front of me

"Why" I asked him and taking a step back

"You just found out our secret"

"So I can keep a secret"

"But it's not fair that you know ours and we don't know yours"

"True but you just put all the clues out there for anyone smart enough to guess"

"You didn't give us clues"

"But as much as you stalk me and whoever was in my house should have plenty of clues."

"Not really all we know is Jeb's a scientist and your heartbeat is 2 times as fast as it should be"

"I'll give you one clue" I said and everyone was standing in front of me "I'm an angel that wasn't sent from heaven"

I grabbed Ella's hand and pulled her out the door. Wow vampires who would have guessed
