REVIEW!!!

I wasn't going to say anything but my mouth started blabbing away before I could stop myself. "Because I thought the legends weren't real! I hoped they were real, but I wasn't willing to risk it! I couldn't live with myself if I knew that I had willingly lead a COLD ONE back to my family. I would just die if I had anyone else's deaths on my shoulders."

I gasped and covered my mouth and ducked my head.

Jacob put his hand under my chin and tried to make me look up at him but I refused. He sighed.

"Let's get you out of here." He said.

I shivered but allowed him to take my bag in one hand and my hand in another. He lead me out. The leering faces I had passed on my way in now turned away in fear of the giant holding my hand.

"Angel." Jake said, now he sounded kinda nervous. I looked at him, trusting him to continue.

"A friend of mine drove me here." I was confused but listened.

Jake took a breath as if to steady himself. "My friend's a cold one."

Oh. No.

No no no no no no no! I thought I could trust him. He's a protector for Christ's sake! How can he be friend's with a cold one?

– I yanked at my hand. –

Had to get away. Had to run. Thought I could trust Jake. Betrayal. Panic.

– My mind was going into an automatic panic, reason shutting itself out.–

Too late. Too late. My mind whispered to me as I saw a cold one in front of me. So stupid. So stupid.

Very gently, Jacob pulled me to him and forced me to look into his eyes. He must of noticed how panicked I had become. Who was I kidding? Of course he noticed.

"Angel," He talked soothingly, as if I was a deer who would bolt at the first sign of danger, which of course was true.

"This is Edward Cullen. He is good. He and his family don't kill humans."

Wait.

– This snapped me out of my panic. –

"Don't eat humans?" I asked, noting the slight hint of hysteria in my voice.

"No," Jacob said soothingly, "There vegetarians. They only eat animals."

I paused for a moment, considering this new fact and nodded wearily.

"Okay."

"Okay?" Jacob asked and I nodded.

"Okay, I believe you."

Jacob lead me to the car and slid in before me. It was a nice car, with leather seats and that weird new car smell. The cold one got into the driver's seat and didn't turn around once. He just began to drive.

I watched him wearily, noting things about him. His skin was deathly white, the same as his, and probably just as cold. His clothes were nice and looked brand new and brand name. His hair was a messy disarray of bronze and I hated admitting it, but the profile he cut was hot.

I shuddered at that thought. Just to draw you in. Their beauty was only meant to draw you in. I knew this. I knew that I was driving along in a car with a creature that could kill me in an instant. I hoped he didn't. I wondered if he talked. I was now rambling in my head as the silence started to get to me.

Just as I thought this the cold one spoke.

"I didn't introduce myself," He said, "I'm Edward Cullen, Jacob and my wife are friends."

It sounded so strange coming from him, a cold one. It sounded so, so normal. He had a wife? Well I suppose if they can talk like humans, that they can occasionally act like them too. They aren't the only monsters in the world. I had watched out for monsters of his kind and monsters of my kind too. Human monsters.

Jacob spoke now too, as if trying to make conversation. "Yeah, me and Bella knew each other since we were kids."

I froze now. Human? She couldn't possibly be.

Edward continued. "I met Bella when she was human and in high school. We fell in love." He must have felt the glare I was giving the back of his head because when he continued talking it sounded like some sort of defense.

"I tried to stay away, but than I was hurting my family. I came back and we both fell in love. I tried to leave. To let her stay human. But it didn't work out for either of us."

I had a feeling there was more to this story than he was telling me but I continued to listen.

"I came back. After she graduated high school we got married. But there was a complication." Here he paused and I could've sworn he was reliving whatever it was.

"Bella became pregnant with my child. A half vampire, half human child."

Shock. My eyes widened and my mouth popped open. I didn't get a chance to say anything though because he continued.

"Our daughter, Renesmey Carlie Cullen was born, it almost killed Bella. I was hard pressed to save her."

Save here? I scoffed, you mean force her to become a creature of the night, a cold one who only wants blood, blood, and more blood. Yeah right.

My softer side spoke up than. But would she have wanted to leave? Her husband? Her daughter? I sighed. I was too nice.

"It all worked out." Said Jacob, him, too, defensive. Huh. Maybe there was more to the story?

I noticed that the trees were thick now, with everything green, too green.

Edward laughed and I jumped, eying him wearily, but he went silent and still. We spent the rest of the car ride in silence. My mind kept going over and over the conversation. It was hard for me to consider.

Were they truly monsters?

Him. Yes, most defiantly. But Edward? With his wife he had fallen in love with while human. His half human daughter? This made me question everything now. Before I had been so sure, so sure to accuse them monsters, point blank. But now?
