DISCLAIMER: I don't even own a copy of Twilight, let alone the book itself. (I'm more of a Library person)
Chapter 5
Insanity
With a sudden wave of something, be it bravery or just plain old stupidity, I asked, "Do you still believe in vampires?" It came out in a rush; I couldn't believe I had even said it out loud.
(Now Amy's POV)
I don't know why I answered truthfully, it could have been my surprise, or some other unnamed reason, but I did. I rather bluntly said, "Yes."
She took a minute to look at my eyes read whether I was joking or not. She found that I was and asked, "Why?"
That was a quite unexpected response but I thought… what the hell, she probably already thinks I'm insane, so might as well tell her, tell someone… "I saw it with my own eyes. I was only 4 but I did see it. I pretended that I realized it was just an exaggeration, but I know it wasn't. So, think I'm insane?"
"No. If you're insane, then I'm insane to, and I prefer not to think of myself as insane, though I've had enough cause to."
What the hell did that mean? She believed in vampires too? She witnessed something like this? I had no idea so I asked her, "What do you mean by that exactly?"
"I've met a few."
"Vampires?"
"Yes"
"Where, When?"
"Can't tell you."
"Why not?"
"I just can't, it's personal."
This was making no sense. I could tell that we were both shocked at how truthful we were being. Then my thoughts drifted back to the conversation…
"How could it be personal?"
"It just is." I could tell she was regretting telling me.
"I'll tell you another one of my secrets." I bargained
"It's not my secret to tell."
"Whose secret is it then?"
"Theirs"
"The vampires?"
"Yes"
"Why would you protect vampires? They're evil."
"These aren't," The insult seemed to make her angry. Why would she care about murderers?
"How the hell are vampires not evil?"
"End of conversation."
"But-"
"Let's start practicing."
She wouldn't talk about it, we just practiced our lines. I had to do some snooping.
