My eyes went wide. "I'm sorry?" I asked completely shocked by he obvious lie that he had just told me.

"I'm a vampire, Bella. I'm a hideous, horrible, terrible creature." I really didn't understand.

"Edward do you think I'm cluless? There are no such things as vampires and if there were they wouldn't be like you. They would be all the things that you said, hideous and horrible. Not the oppistie." I wasn't hurt, more angry.

I started to walk away, but he caught my arm and pulled me back into his grasp.

"Bella why would I make this up?" he asked looking deep into my eyes.

"I only wish I could step inside your mind." he whispered smiling crookedly to himself.

His brilliant white teeth almost lit up the rest semi dark room, the moon the only thing letting any light in. The third ones out seemed oddly pointed.

"What do you mean step inside my mind?" I asked hoping that I could get him to admit that he was lying before I was forced to give in to the whole charade.

"Bella I can read minds, I've got a good look at eveyone's that I've met on the ship," I could feel my cheeks turn red. " everyone's but yours." he finished smiling again.

"Edward please don't lie to me, this isn't funny anymore.'

"It's not a joke. Bella I am truly a vampire, and I can truly read minds." he said the smile fading with every word.

I looked at his innocent face that seemed begging for my approval. I had to trust him.

I thought about that for a moment.

I had trusted him all these times, why couldn't I trust him now?

"Really?" I asked sarcasticly.

"A vampire?" I said looking up from his face.

"Yes." he said questionly.

"Prove it." I shrugged looking back at his face showing sarcasm through my eyes now.

He smiled again, and threw me onto his back.

He took off running.

The wind burned in my eyes and whiped my hair. There were still a few people out on the deck but not many. They didn't even look up to see what the wind was, probably thought that it was coming off the water. I tried to close my eyes but I couldn't. I tried not to think about the sick feeling in my stomach.

He put me down and we were back in the empty room in what seemed like a matter of seconds.

I began to feel faint and I felt my eye lids begin to drop. I felt Edward's hands support most of my weight.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." I insisted trying to shake his arms off of me.

"Are you okay, Bella?"

"Yes." I said turning around around to face him.

His eyes were burning into mine and all I could hear was the water hitting the boat outside.

"So you're really a vampire." It wasn't a question, more a realization.

"Bella, I would understand if you don't want to speak to me anymore. I know that all I'm doing is putting you in danger." he said his eyes still on mine.

"Will you explain all this to me? I am after all only human." I smiled.

He smiled also but it didn't tough his eyes.

"I'm dangerous Bella." he said with a disgusted look on his face.

"I don't believe that." I shook my head as I spoke.

"You don't have any idea how dangerous I truly am. I'm a killer, Bella."

"I'm still here." I said simply.

"I've killed people before you."

"Then why haven't you killed me yet?"

"I wanted to kill you, luckily I stopped myself before I could attack." I felt my eyes go wide and tried to contain myself. I distracted myself with a question.

"Why can't you read my mind?"

"I don't know to be honest. I've never come across anyone like you before."

"Why do you suppose?"

"I can't imagine."

"Is there something wrong with me?"

"I tell you that I can read minds and you think there is something wrong with you?" he smirked.

"Well..." I said smiling with him. I didn't know why I felt so unconcerned about this. He had told me that he wanted to kill me and I was making a joke out of it.

"So what bout the rest of your family?" I asked making my voice serious again.

He looked at me, questoinly.

"Were they vampires? Is Jasper a vampire?"

"Yes it was my whole family, all of us and Jasper is a vampire still."

I felt a brezze come of the water and it spread across my face. Edward suddenly became uncomfortable. It was obvius by the look an his face and then by the way he walked away from me in a blur to the railing outside the room that we were in.

"Edward what's wrong?" I asked coming out to the railing with him.

"Stay back!" he warned and his face was struck with pain.

"I'll be fine just give me a minute."

I shyed away and ran back inside the room shutting the door behind me. I knew that this was going to be life threatning, being around him. Even being on the same ship with him would be difficult.

"Bella please let me in." I heard Edward plead from outside the door that I had my back to.

"I'm so sorry if I frightend you." he said softly.

I turned around and opened the door to let him in. Now he looked as if he had complete control of himself.

He smiled at me, apoelgticaly.

"Bella I'm so sory about that. I really shouldn't have frightened you that way." he shook his head as he spoke.

"Don't be."

It was silent for a moment and I thought about all that had happened in the last few moments.

I thougt what he said about his family and how even Jasper was a vampire.

Then I had a thought of horror.

Alice.
