I blinked at them both and then slowly put my head down. Vampires! More damn vampires! Why does this always happen too me? "Sorry Bella, I'm a little on edge." Caroline smiled and laughed a bit. I didn't say anything back only kept my head down and stole glances at Damon. After about five minutes Damon parked outside of a huge house. It instintly reminded me of the Cullen's and I cringed.
"Bella? You okay?" Caroline asked.
"I'm fine." I replied. Damon got out of the car and told us to get out. I lamley stepped out of the car and looked around.
It wasn't too secluded and looked a bit darker.
I followed Damon and Caroline in silence. The house looked like something from a medevil house. It was really nice, not very homie but nice. Damon went straight for a bar on the side and poured himself a glass of something I didn't care to really know. "So Bella Ella now you know are secret." Damon had a annoyed tone in his voice as he turned and gave Caroline a small glare.
"I'm sorry but I'm going to have to well.." He smiled and Caroline looked at him with alarm.
"Kill you." He cocked his head slightly and then lunged towards me.
My mind came to when I sprayed James with pepper spray. I felt something grab me and i flew across the room and then was picked up. I couldn't even tell what was going on but when I focused on everything I realized I was in Stephans arms and he sat me down on the couch.
"Damon! What are you doing?" His voice was hard and he was ready to attack. "Well Stephan, Barbie vampire over here told her our secret." Damon looked calm now. Stephan looked at me and then at Damon, "Stephan, what are you going to do?" Elena said from the door. Stephan turned to me and then gave me the stand up sign. "I have a question?" Caroline asked. We all turned to her and she smiled slightly.
"You said vampires sparkle does that mean that you already know about vampires?"
Stephan looked confused.
"Sparkle?"
"Yeah."
I nodded. "I-um knew some back were I lived..." I cringed at the thought. Damon laughed, "Well great isn't everything getting better and better!" He walked up to Stephan.
"I still say we kill her." Stephan looked at him evilly and Damon sighed and grabbed his drink. The last I saw was him walking upstairs muttering something about 'overly good brother.'
Stephan rolled is eyes and smirked then walked over to Elena. He slowly brought her over to me and sighed. Caroline was the one to break the silence "So, maybe Elena should be getting home, Stephan." Stephan nodded. "I'll get your truck tonight Bella. You can ride home with Elena and me." He finished and headed towards the door. I slowly followed close behind, slightly beside Elena. Elena waved bye to Caroline and put her hand in Stephan's. My heart felt fridgid, I wanted to tell them too stop. All that came out though was a quiet wave to Caroline. My mind raised that now I was stuck inbetween vampires again. Something in the back of my head cried out for Edward to come and save me.
For anything to come and save me, to take me away. Now I more afraid then ever, I believe Elena knew too. She smiled reasuringly at me many times in the car as if to say 'Don't worry.' I highly doubted that would help though. Stephan pulled into Elena's driveway and the setting sun made the house look bright in the night.
"Go on in Bella, I'll be there in a second." Elena smiled again and I clumsily made my way into the house. Opening the door the first thing I saw was Jermey he smiled at me and put a hand through his hair.
"So you-uh know now huh?" He asked. He looked very childlike right then and his dimples shown easily.
"I guess-I do.." I had nothing else to say.
I was in shock, I didn't exactly know why, my mind wondered back to Damon. His devilish smirk and crisp blue eyes looking me up and down. He seemed so dangerous it was kind of refreshing.
Elena entered and she now didn;t have a smile her and Jermey looked at eachother. "Bella come on up too my room. We'll have a sleepover thing tonight, kay?" She looked scared too. I nodded and pretty confused walked up the stairs. I had never exactly done a sleepover before, I found no point in it really. "Here's some extra PJs." Elena handed me a purple tanktop and very short black shorts. I looked at them in amazment for a second and tunred to her bathroom. I felt like a complete idiot for putting it on and probably looked like one too. Elena was on her bed writing something in a small notebook, when she heard me she quickly closed it and patted the bed beside her.
"So, now you know huh? You okay?" Elena asked. I nodded, "Actually yeah. Stuff like this never really came as a shock to me." I smiled a little and Elena looked at me as if I were crazy. "I couldn't even believe when I found out, about Stephan I mean." She stopped. "Who were the vampires you knew?" She asked. My heart gave a little leap and I looked down, "No one really-I-important.." My voice cracked. "Bella you can tell me." Something in her voice made me want to tell her. I breathed in, "It's kind of a long story.." She nodded.
"I have time." Then her smile pushed me foward.
"Well, last year I decided to move in with my dad. In Forks." She nodded. "The vampires they were the Cullen's. Sort of like royalty for Forks, most beautiful and they really were. Each one was adopted by Carlise-He's a doctor and his wife Esme adopted Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and E-Edward.." I cut off at his name.
"Thats a large family for vampires I guess. Edward, what happened with that?" She crossed her legs.
"Um, one day at school One if my friends was driving and he ran into some ice and he was about to crush me. Suddenly out of the blue Edward was there and he moved the car out of the way.." Elena nodded and she looked very interested. "Later I found out what he was and we were-" I looked down holding back tears. "In love?" Elena asked. "Yes..deeply. Everything was really good, he could um-read minds.."
"What?" Elena looked surprised.
"He read minds and Alice could see the future..Jasper well he could feel a person's emotions. Edward couldn't read my mind though, I was the only person." I told her moving my hands as I talked. "Oh, I see. That must explain why Damon and Stephan can't repeal you." I looked at her confused. "Well, the vampires I know can control people but they couldnt with you." She smiled. "Oh, well..um-on my eighteeth birthday the Cullen's threw me a party. It was stupid really..but...Edward was very protective and Jasper attacked me." Elena gasped a little. This was were I started to get a bit emotional. "I-well-Edward left..he told me he didn't want me-a-anymore...he left me in the woods.." Elena looked at me with the most sad eyes I had ever seen. I broke down and felt myself begin to cry. "Elena, It was terrible. I couldn't do anything it was like my heart was ripped out and I couldn't feel! It was so horrible-thats why I came here..to get.a-away.." I wiped my tears away.
Suddenly I felt her hug me.
I gently hugged her back and when she let go I breathed in.
"Wow, you make me and Stephan look like nursery ryhme.." She whispered.
"I'm so sorry Bella.." I smiled softly. "What about you?" I asked. "Well...it's sort of difficult to explain. Back in the eighteen hundreds Stephan and Damon knew a woman named Katherine. She was horrible in every way possible and played them and turned them into vampires." Elena stood up and got her phone she looked through it a second. "This is her." I looked at the photo, it was badly tooken from her phone but seemed very old. I took a closer look then looked at Elena, "You two look just alike!" I exclaimed and she nodded.. "That's what were trying to figure out, you know...why that is." A small smile crept up. "She's back and after me apparently.." She looked down.
"Wow, thats wonderful." I laughed and she nodded.
Meanwhile
She walked down the streets in the night like a cat on the crawel. She would find Bella Swan and kill her slowly it was the only thing that mattered. She just had to look, "Victoria!" She heard Laurants voice from her back side. "Yes?" She asked a bit annoyed. "She may be in Virginia. Mystic Falls to be exact." He smiled. She looked at him and studied his expression "Wonderful." She looked at the road ahead. "Were coming for you Bella." She told the night air.
