I appreciate the reviews and feedback from you guys. It really helps me...like a lot! Like I said I'll try to update as soon as possible. I'll try my best to update every weekend (even though im a few days late with this chapter). I don't really do anything then (cuz I have no life) so I think Ill be able to write. But dont be mad at me if I dont update right away! please?

OMG! Today I was watching Eclipse and I realized that one of Bella's friend's name is Angela. I had read the books and watched the movies and it so didnt cross my mind until today. I need to pay attention.

As always PLEASE Review and ENJOY!

Chapter 7: Eric

Angela looked so rough. Her brunette hair was pulled back into a ponytail but there were strands of it everywhere. There were dark purple bags under her eyes hinting she either hadn't been sleeping or hadn't been feeding. Eric looked the complete opposite. He was practically glowing. Since I found out he was a vampire, his personality changed drastically. He wasn't normal. He was acting so cocky. Like his brother, Dalton. I wondered if that's where Dalton got it from.

Suddenly my mind drifted to him and how I was so drawn to him. It was creepy. Yeah, he was appealing but the way I felt toward him, it was like he was a god and that was far from the truth.

I tried to push pass them but Eric grabbed my arm. "We'll talk later." His voice was barely a whisper.

I nodded as he let my arm go. I sneaked a look at Angela and she gave me the littlest smile. It managed to brighten her up, but I blinked and it was gone.

Though I got a smile from her, it was still awkward between me and Angela. We didn't talk to each other. She even went as far as sitting on the other side of the room during 8th period.

It smelled like it was about to rain as I walked outside once the bell rang. The person waiting for me was not Jacob,like expected, but instead Eric. He was sitting on my car as if it was his. He saw me and nodded.

"Can you get off my car?" I asked while reaching in my pocket for the keys.

"We aren't taking your car." he jumped off the hood of my Porsche.

"I'm not getting in your crappy El Camino."

"El Caminos are classic," He was genuinely offended by my comment. "We aren't taking my car either. We aren't taking a car at all. We're running." He grinned from ear to ear and raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not as fast as you." It was true. I was faster than a regular human but I was no where near as fast as a full vampire and I hated it. The only way I could FEEL as fast as a vampire was if I rode on Jacob's back.

"I'll jog." Eric smiled again and took off. I glanced around to see if Jacob was around but he wasn't anywhere to be found. I bit my lip and ran after Eric.

We ran in the woods so no one human would see us. He was so fast even for a vampire. My dad or uncles weren't that fast and they've been vampires for a long time. Of course I couldn't catch up to him so he would stop every few minutes until we arrived at a beach. There was a patch of rocks about 20 feet from the right of us and to our left was a flock of seagulls. They were pecking at a fish that must have washed up on shore.

"I used to take Angela here. It was the thing we would do on her birthdays." Eric sat down and buried his feet in the sand. Instead of looking off into the beautiful ocean, he lay his head on his knees. "She would always light up when she saw the ocean."

I sat next to him. "Why'd you stop?"

He shook his head but didn't say a word.

"My aunt Rosalie used to take me to the movies every year on my birthday and we would watch vampire movies and laugh at how fake they were. Then Jacob started tagging along. After a while, she stopped coming. It wasn't special anymore." He didn't move. "Lauren."

"I get that they're best friends but..." Eric trailed off and we sat there in silence for a few seconds. Then he abruptly picked his head up. "That's not why we're here. You have questions."

His comment threw me off a bit but I quickly started filling through the million questions I had in my head. Eric told me about how he and his biological parents were in a car accident 20 years back and his parents died instantly but he barely had a scratch on him. Mr.C found him, adopted him, and changed him a few days after his adoption was finalized. Mrs. C, Dalton, and Marie were already there. When (human) Mrs.C wanted a child a few years later, Mr.C agreed and they had Angela. Of course he had to change his wife soon after she gave birth. Eric, only having 4 years of experience as a vampire, wasn't there for the birth but he has been there since. (So Angela lied about Eric being in the family for only three years.)

We both sat, watching the water for a while until he sighed, stood up and brushed the back of his pants.

"There's one thing I didn't tell you and I'm only telling you because my sister and I like you Cullen. My dad isn't the nice guy you guys think he is. He doesn't like a lot of things but he only hates one thing: Werewolves."

I sucked in a breath.

"Before he even met my mom, he ran into one and things didn't end so well for the wolf." He continued. "Now that he's met your boyfriend, he's gonna want him dead and he'll hurt whoever's connected to him."

I jumped up. Now I know why Jacob wasn't in the parking lot waiting for me.

Mr.C took him.

Once again, a short chapter, but I actually put a lot of thought into this one. Thank you for reading.

Please Review! 3
