Well, here is another chapter!! Hope you enjoy... I worked hard and so did my beta!!!
Bella POV
"So, you guys are vampires?" I asked nonchalantly, attempting to change the awkward subject of why I had moved to boring old Forks; that was a subject I was not ready to tackle. They could tell that I was avoiding the subject, so they shot me one of those 'You will tell us later' looks before answering. "Yep. Rose has been for almost a century now, and me well... I don't really know how long I have been one..." her sentence trailed off. I was about to ask why when Rose shook her head at me and mouthed 'not now' to me.
"Wow. Thats a pretty long time. I guess I should start calling you an old lady from now on," I said playfully. She glared at me.
"Be careful what you say, child.. I could easily rip you're head off if you get on my bad side." I faked terror and Rose came over to try to console me; I burst out laughing. She growled at me, but then joined in laughing with me and Alice.
"Hey I know!" Alice screamed while bouncing up and down. "Bella should spend the night tonight!" Alice was bouncing so high, she was about to jump through the ceiling. Before I could answer, 3 Gods walked through the back door. The blond one smiled at Alice and ran over to hold her down. He lightly kissed her on the cheek and said "Calm down darling. We don't want Esme to freak out over another broken ceiling, now do we?" Alice giggled and turned around to embrace him firmly on the lips. I turned around, embarrassed to watch them have their little moment. The big one laughed at me.
"Bella!" He ran over to me and picked me up in a big bear hug. I laughed at his enthusiasm and he put me down still smiling. "I just couldn't wait to meet the girl who made my boy back there loose his cool after almost a century of control," he said it as if it was not a bad thing. My face fell as I remembered the horrifying moment.
"Emmett!" Scolded Rose as she hit him in the back of the head. "Sorry for my rude husband. He doesn't think about his actions. This is Emmet by the way." He stuck his huge hand out to my face and I shyly grabbed it.
"I'm Jasper.." said the blond. He too stuck out his hand and I repeated my hand shake..
He began to speak to me, but I paid no attention to him. I was focusing on the one guy I was dying to meet; the one sitting in the corner as far away from me as possible. My attacker. Before I knew it, my feet were dragging me over to this mysterious, pale boy. He looked up at me, torture stretched across his face. I sat down next to him.
"If you knew what was good for you, you would have run away from me." He mumbled so low, I almost didn't hear him..
"I'm not afraid." I whispered while grabbing his ice cold hand. He flinched away from me.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Do you have a death wish??" He spat at me.
"I'm not afraid." I repeated. His facial expressions changed from angry, to tortured, to sadness, to confusion.
"You're not?" He said it more like an answer than a question.
I lifted his face up to look at me so he could get a clear visual of the truth in my words. "No." His lips began to turn up at the ends. He was smiling. All of the sudden, I became very aware of the people around us. I glanced over to see their surprised, yet happy faces staring at us. I returned to looking at the angel before me, and gazing into his perfect gold eyes. It seems impossible, but I could swear that they were a shade lighter than before, and they were still getting lighter. "How is that possible?" I mumbled to myself. His face turned to confusion and he said, "What is it?" I was pulled out of my trance.
"Your eyes. They changed colors." I whispered. They were now the same shade as honey. I smiled at him and he returned it with a gorgeous crooked smile, causing me to suck in a sharp breath. "Are you OK?" He asked.
"Fi-ine,"I choked out. "Umm, Alice? I think I do want to spend the night." I said. She jumped out of Jasper's arms and ran over to me, almost choking me with a giant hug.
"OH MY GOSH! We are going to have SO much fun!!" she squealed. "Lets go get your stuff, OK? Come on Rose." She grabbed Rose firmly on the arm and dragged her out to the car. I took one last look at him before I walked out of the house. Halfway to the car, I felt a cold hand grab my shoulder. I turned around to find the beautiful God staring at me.
"By the way, my name's Edward." He grabbed my hand and gently pecked the top of it. I blushed a deep crimson and heard Emmett's booming laugh from inside. "Wow, I don't think I have ever seen any human turn that deep a color red!" Another boom came from inside the house. I smiled at him and began to walk backwards, but forgot to look behind me and tripped over a tree root. I prepared myself for th impact, but was caught by 2 freezing cold arms instead. Edward placed me back on my feet and laughed at me, followed by another laugh of Emmett. "Careful there. You don't want to deprive Alice of her night of fun now do you?" There goes that beautiful crooked smile again. I sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm Bella by the way," I said before jumping into the car. As we were pulling away, I glanced back at the house to find Edward watching us pull away.
"Looks like someones got a crush on you," Alice giggled. Rose chuckled along with her. "I think someone (cough)-Bella- has a crush on him too." I chucked my 2 hour old drink at her. She growled at me while me and Alice and me almost fell off our seats from laughing. "You got my hair wet, human." This made our laughter increase. Alice had to pull the car over she was laughing so hard. Pretty soon, Rose joined in laughing with us. I knew at that moment, I was going to love this family.
Edward POV
I couldn't stop replaying that moment. 'If you knew what was good for you, you would have run away from me.' 'I'm not afraid.'
Those three little words had sent chills down my spine. They caused me to realize, I was not going to attempt to kill her again. Those three little words, were enough to silence the ever-thirsty monster within.
"Dude, what was that about?" Emmett asked, dragging me unwillingly out of my thoughts.
"I don't know," I replied, shrugging it off.
"Well it had to be something, because I have never seen you look at anyone like that before."
"I don't know," I repeated. I really didn't know though. I could not explain the emotions that had passed through me moments ago. It was all very new to me. All I knew, was that I could not wait to see this beautiful, chocolate brown eyed girl again.
"'Me thinks you dust protest to much'," Emmet said, chuckling to himself. Jasper and I looked at each other, then burst out laughing. Emmett tried to play dumb. "What?" His lips gave away the lie. "Oh, nothing brother. Nothing at all."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're home!" Ughh. Those were the exact obnoxious words from earlier today, the ones right before my terrible moment of weakness.
I ran out human speed to greet them (mostly to see Bella), but they hauled her away before I could even mumble a hello. "Be right back!" they yelled then came the sound of a crashing door. Emmett came out and saw me staring after them and began to chuckle. "Man, you got it bad, don't you?" I shoved him into the wall. "Oh shit!" I whisper-screamed.. There was a huge Emmett shaped hole in the wall. Esme was going to burn us alive. No, worse than that. Shes going to drag us with her to Lowe's, make us plaster the hole up, rip off our heads, and burn us alive while she maliciously chuckles at us.
"You idiot! Look what you made me do!" Emmett yelled. I was about to reply, but was cut off by a fuming Esme. She gasped at the sight of the wall, then shot daggers at us with her eyes. "Boys! What have I told you about fighting in the house?? Just look at the mess you've made! I hope you plan on fixing this... with your money, not the credit cards!" Everyone appeared in the room to watch us suffer. I could see Alice trying to contain her laughter and Jasper looking sympathetic. Rose was smirking and Carlisle was shaking his head at us.
Esme stormed out of the room with Carlisle following behind her. When it was safe, the entire room fell to the floor in laughter, allowing the tension to melt off us.
"Well good job smart one! You got us in trouble with 'mommy dearest'!" Emmett yelled. "Well maybe you shouldn't have been an ass and I wouldn't have shoved you," I said walking away. "Maybe I should tell everyone what I said to provoke you to do such a thing," he said with a smile in his voice. I bolted around to face him. " You wouldn't," I said, glaring at him.
"Wouldn't I?" A mischievous grin spreading wider across his face. I stole a quick glance at an amused looking Bella, who caught me looking. 'Crap.' I thought to myself. "Hey! I saw that! I'm so going to tell her," Emmett taunted.
I growled at him. He just kept on smiling. I was about to put another Emmett shaped hole in the wall when Bella stepped in front of me.
"Lets not fight now, boys...or do I have to separate you 2?" She said, a smile playing across her lips. That was enough to do it. I backed off immediately, only causing my dumb siblings thoughts to flood my head.
"Edward, you soooo like her!"
"Like I said, you got it bad."
"Great way to be subtle about it, idiot."
"You should just tell her how you feel. A little birdie in my head says she has feelings as well..."
"Shut up!" I yelled. Bella had a questioning look on her face, but all the others were smiling like idiots at me. "Oh, so I guess no one has told you about vampires powers," I said to Bella. She shook her head.
"Well, vampires sometimes get these powers when they are changed. No one knows why, but we do. I can hear peoples thoughts, Jasper can feel peoples emotions, and Alice can see the future." I took note that she turned that beautiful crimson shade when I mentioned I could hear thoughts. This made me smile. "Don't worry, I can't hear your thoughts," I said, trying to comfort her.
"Why not?" She asked. The rest of my family was curious to know the reason too. I had not yet told them this little fact. "I don't know why," I said. "You are the first person this has ever happened with."
There was an awkward silence following that then Alice had a vision. Her face went blank as she and I both watched the image dance across our brains. She and I both smiled at it.
"Guys, I think it is time to play a game," I said.
"What game?" replied Bella, her interest peaked.
"Truth or dare!!" yelled Alice. The whole room groaned, but I smiled to myself at the dare to come.
