A/n: This one is for both tinkerbell0403 and Vivian (hurry up and review, you promised!), who have selflessly agreed to help me help out at a charity fair, and now suffers aching feet. And also for all my dear readers who have reviewed. You make my day.
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight, stop gloating. You probably don't either. Unless you are THE Stephanie Meyer, in which case I would really like to thank you for writing twilight, and inventing these characters.
Chapter 4
EPOV
I watched her leave, and then ran all the way home, after all, school would be nearly over by now, and my car was still with the rest. I hope Rosalie is driving, then shuddered at the thought of Alice or Emmett driving my baby.
The rest of them were home by the time I was there. My car was still intact and good.
As I stepped into the front door, I was greeted by waves of thought given off by everyone in the family.
"Why did you have to go and play the hero? You have nearly given away our secret!" shouted Rosalie, finally breaking the silence.
"Rosalie, calm down, and stop accusing Edward of things. No harm, no foul."
"Oh shut up Emmett."
"Really Ros, am I supposed to stand by and watch an innocent person die?"
Rosalie ignored me and continued.
"And Alice, you could have seen that happening! Why didn't you stop him?"
"Rosalie, please!" said Esme.
A wave of calm then hit all of us. Rosalie glared icily at Jasper.
"For goodness sake Rosalie, you seem to forget that, my visions aren't set in stone. It was a snap decision. And besides, Edward is right. However, I don't think she would have died."
"What?! That would have been a fatal accident. She would definitely have been dead." I nearly shouted.
"Actually before you decided to go help save her, I had a vision of her getting caught between the two cars, but when Tyler's car was removed, she was completely intact. Only she fainted from the shock."
"BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! Are you SURE your visions aren't wrong?" I was in shock
"Have they ever been?"
"Actually yes, back when…" Emmett began, but Alice interrupted.
"That's not the point, there was a change in decision back then, what could I do?"
"Oh, yeah," stated Emmett lamely.
"The point is that…" Alice began again.
"Whatever," Rosalie interrupted, "You see Edward, you, almost gave us away, who knows, she might already have told some people."
"Like they would believe her," added Alice, rather sarcastically. "But that's not the point either."
"So what is the point?" asked jasper, who has taken a rather neutral role in the argument.
"The point is that Bella is not human."
Everyone stopped short.
Then Carlisle entered the front door.
"What?"
"Oh we were just discussing Bella's non-humanity"
"Oh. That's as much as I guessed," said Carlisle. "From what the people around described, I'm surprised she didn't even have a broken bone. The question now is what she is, I'm sure she isn't a vampire, or a werewolf. She has neither vampire coloured eyes, nor does she smell horrible to us."
"Other creatures exist?"
"I really don't know, but if we exist, I don't see why they can't."
"Well, Alice can you see anything about her?" asked Esme, trying to keep a bit of order.
"I'll try…" then she closed her eyes, and concentrated.
…:::…:::…:::…
"So what did you see?"
"I see many times in the future when she will step into a slightly large puddle, then disappear. Only to reappear later, completely dry. I also see times when she'll go into other puddles, but she doesn't disappear, instead, she forms a fish tail."
"So she is a mermaid?" asked Emmett
"Most likely."
"Okay. This, is getting way too weird." Jasper simply stated.
I nodded then headed back to my room, the discussion was over.

Charlie drove me back home, where I received a ton of calls of concern. Renee was also being unnecessarily worried. She always tends to get a bit irrational when it was concerning me.
Lastly, came, the Spaders, who actually visited instead of called.
"So, no broken bones?" joked Adain, the rest of us just rolled our eyes.
"You really should be glad that that Cullen guy "saved" your life. If not, you'll really have some serious explaining to do."
"Actually there was something strange and different about him, it's like he has got super strength and super speed or something. He was about 10 meters away, and, suddenly he was by my side saving me. Also, I think he left a dent in Tyler's car when he used his shoulder to block it."
"Are you serious?"
I casted a moving image of what I saw happened onto a cup of water that was on the table.
"Oh," was all that they said.
"Well, what does that mean?" asked Yazmin.
"That means that he is either super athletic, or has super powers," replied Vo," I'd go with the athletic bit though."
"Okay… How 'bout maybe he's like another kind of us?" asked Charlie.
"As in? Because we don't have super strength or speed, you know."
"As in another kind of creature, not human, not like us either."
"I don't think that is really possible," stated Diana.
"Why not?"
"It's just weird, I mean, how many mythical creatures can wander this earth."
"Well, there are millions of species of bugs…"
This was going to turn bad, Diana always hates being talked, so I decided to interrupt before it really got bad.
"Actually, he is suspicious and wants to know what I am. Do you think that he'll be able to guess that I'm a…"
"A what? A water sprite?" Diana rolled her eyes, "Claire Bennet maybe, but do you really think he will be able to guess that you are a water sprite?"
"Oh yeah. I guess my identity is rather safe then."
A/n: The secrets out! Happy now? Properties of a water sprite will probably out by chapter 6.Sorry for not updating in forever, but really, I've got Christmas gifts to make, and I'm on a tight schedule, just you try making about twenty pouches in about a month.
I'll try to give you another update by this weekend.
R&R please.
