Chapter 3

I grabbed her into a hug and ran to her house. She had gotten a new house in Forks, Washington. After my father died, she basically died with him. She had no color in her eye, she looked like she was a zombie.

When we got there, I let her go and she stumbled, then fell down.

"I don't feel so good" She said.

"Put you head between your legs" I instructed. She did as she was told. After a while she lifted her head up.

"Ok. Now what is a 'Creature of the Night' thing?" She asked.

I took a deep breath and exhaled a gust of air. I really didn't want to tell her, but then again I did want to tell her.

"You know the stories that you used to tell me? The 'Old legends'?"

"Ya. Why?" She was really confused right now.

"Ya. Uh. You remember the story about the 'cold ones', right?"

"I remember it." She said "But those are legends. They aren't true"

"Are you sure they are just legends." I gestured towards my perfectly shaped body.

"N-...W-...No that can't b- Wait! What?"

"They aren't just legends" She slowly backed up. Her heart was going spastic. "You can go if you want but try not to get your body drained of blood, got it?"

She ran out the door. I got up after ten minutes of thinking. I ran back to school. I'm betting everyone is wondering where I've been. I walked into the schools front entrance. I was right. Well, not everyone, but everyone in my family.

"Bella! Where have you been?" Kim yelled.

"Whoa, man. I'm so glad they didn't shred you to pieces. Cause I heard that if you skip class or run out of the school, you would get in so much trouble. The most, of course, would be to kill you. Now that's harsh." Chris was right next to Kim, holding hands. Tim and Ashley came running down the hall towards us.

"Where have you been?" They both said.

"Visiting someone. I guess." I smiled at them. They smiled back.

"But where did you take that woman?" Tom asked.

"To her house. We had a talk, she ran out the door, and I just sat there thinking for ten minutes." I said simply.

"Oh. Well we should get to class." Ashley said. Just when she said that the bell rang.

"Good guess." I said and patted the top of her head.

"Ha. Ha. Funny, funny." Her voice saturated with sarcasm. We all laughed. Then I saw him.

My laugh cut short once I saw him watching me. I looked down; a bit self-conscious. I peeked up to see if he was still looking at me. Even worse; he was walking towards me and my family.

"OO-LA-LA." Tomas said in my ear, in a girly voice. He stepped on the other side of Ashley. I reached over and slapped him in the back of his head. "Hey! What did I do?" He yelled. I narrowed my eyes and said nothing.

"Hey, Bella." Edward said. I looked up and waved a simple wave, and smiled at him. "So are you still able to go with me to the dance thing?" He asked after awhile.

I sighed. "I'm sorry. I have to beat Tomas in a race...again." I chuckled. Tomas glared at me.

"What kind of racing?" He asked curiously.

"Street racing." I looked down.

"Cool. Can I watch."

My eye almost pop out of my head. "You...What?!"

"Can I watch you beat your brother?"

"Uh...um...I'm not sure. Tomas is that ok." When I looked, unwillingly, away from Edwards face I noticed my family surrounding us. There heads leaned in so they could get the full conversation. Even if they were ten yards away, they could have gotten the full conversation.

"Perfect." Tomas said instantly. "If you would like you could try and beat her too. But I got twenty on Bella."

"Ok. When is the race?"

"During the dance at two o' clock. Winner kisses l-" I interrupted him with a slap in the head. "OWW!" He yelled. Everyone in the hall looked at us, but I didn't mind.

"Look. Just be there at two. Got it?" I asked. "I don't really care if you bring your family. Just make sure they don't break anything. Tell them I invited them." I added

"Will do. Bye, Bella." He smiled, waved, and then left.

"Wooo. He's mouth watering, Bella." Ashley said.

"Hello? Did you forget about me?" Tomas said.

"No, babe, I'm just sayin he's hott. But your still the one and only..." She smiled up at him. We all cracked up laughing cause of Ashley's expression.
