Chapter 4: Vegetarian

Just breathe, everything will be a-okay. I laughed at that thought. This was far from being 'a-okay'. Why would it be? I'm getting ready to ask Alice Cullen if she is a vampire! And if Charlie was lying, I will be mortified beyond belief. Sure, everything will be fine.

Alice was leaning against my truck when I walked up to her. "Hey Bella!" She said happily. Was she always in a good mood? Probably. I smiled, but it felt forced.

"Hey Alice, thanks for waiting."

"Oh dont worry about it, I had nothing else to do," She smiled back. "So what did you need to talk about?"

I sighed, "Well I found these pictures and... Charlie told me some stuff... but I'm not sure if it's true..." Stop babbling, she'll think you're an idiot! But what did it matter, she'll probably think Charlie and I belong in a mental ward after this. I shook my head, trying to think straight again. "I don't know how to say this without you thinking I'm crazy."

"Well then lets start from the beginning," She sat down in the bed of my truck and motioned for me to do the same. When I sat down I looked around the parking lot, finding that it was now empty. "So what pictures did you find."

"They were pictures from when I was born, pictures from Alaska."

"Well what's wrong with that?"

"You were in some of them, so was the rest of your family." I shook my head, surely she'd think I was crazy.

Alice suddenly grew tense. "What did Charlie say?"

"You'd think we were crazy..."

"You can trust me Bella," She place her hand on my shoulder reassuringly.

"He said- he said your family was vampires." I looked at her and she looked surprised.

"Do you believe him?"

"I kinda do, but I dont really know...are you?"

"Yes. But we're not the kind you see in horror movies. We're what you would call 'vegitarian'." She rushed in a whisper.

"You eat vegetables?" I asked truly confused.

She laughed at this. "No silly, we eat- well drink -animals."

"Oooh! That makes since I guess." Thank god she doesnt think I'm crazy!

"Bella, why dont you and Charlie come over tomorrow night and we'll talk about this more. Then we can have a little reunion. I'm sure after all these years, Carlisle and Charlie will have some catching up to do."

"That sounds great!" I hopped out of the bed of the truck and, much to my embarassment, slipped in a puddle of water that had formed in the most recent rain storm. Alice helped me up while she laughed."Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Yep! Tell Charlie I said hi." With that, she walked over and got into her car, an Audi A8.

Once I was in my truck, I realized how cold I was. I turned on my heater and drove to the local grocery. "Well, I hope Charlie isnt planning on doing anything tomorrow." I muttered to my self.

A/N: If you're wondering what Alice's car looks like I have a pic of it on my profile now :-) I hope y'all liked it! r&r
