Okay so here's the next chapter! This chapter is awkward because of the mood. But it leads up to something meaningful so keep that in mind…

"Bella?" Jasper's voice rang out to me, snapping out of my daze. I raised my head to meet his worried gaze and raised my eyebrow at him. Why is he worried? I should be worried; I'm in a room fool of vampires..
"How long did I black out?" I asked ignoring his gaze and glanced around at all the vampires standing before me, they were making me extremely uncomfortable just staring at either me or Jasper. I fixated my gaze to the ground.
"Wait, this has happened before?" The doctor suited vampire asked in a curious manor. I eyed him nervously, and my eyes glanced at Jasper for an answer- he always was the one who knew best when we were still human. Jasper smiled as realization dawned on him and he nodded in conformation. My gaze drifted back to the doctor hesitantly and took an unneeded breath. I never needed to tell anyone about my lifestyle, so this was going to be interesting- one step leads to another.
"It does not happen frequently but it is expected once in awhile in new surroundings… it's normal in a way of adapting to a certain.." I wonder off as I glanced between Edward, Emmett and lastly my Brother, " Idea". My gaze returned to the doctor who eyebrows had furrowed.
"How can your brain malfunction when your body is dead?" He asked as if some idea would pop in his head if he thought it out loud. Or he was just plainly asking me. Man I am a nutcase.
"Well you see Dr…" I hesitated as I nervously shifted my gaze to my brothers for a name.
"Please call me Carlisle" The doctor –I mean Carlisle- said with a warm smile which a shyly returned.
"Carlisle" I tried his name on my tongue and took a deep breath, then met his gaze again. "I uh..Pardon my rudeness, I am dead but my brain has a function that was..Formed when I 'died'. This thing has a way of telling me when too much is coming in and stops me before I lose control and… go crazy in a way of speaking- shutting down is a self-conserving reaction".
"So it is your body's defense system" Carlisle said with a nod of understanding. It wasn't all right, it was my brains defense system – but he got the basic idea so I don't need to correct him rudely. I nodded to him with a slight smile.
"Can you tell me how this happened to you?" Jasper spoke up – probably answering everyone's unspoken question. My eyebrows furrowed. How can I tell them when I don't know it at all myself? "You don't have to Isabella, I'm just curious".
I shook my head and tried to rack my head for answers. I had never even thought hard about it, all I knew about my change was that it made my sickness go away and I became Immortal, given the rules of my existence from an unknown source… I frowned deeply as I tried to think in between my sickness and my 'recovery'…. Maw' and pa' were there, I knew that but…
"I can't remember" I stated as I let my frustration fall. What was the use when I would never know?
"Are you a vampire?" Carlisle asked as he began studying my like a rat. This is what every human would do if they discover an immortal. I despised it.
"What do you think?" I snapped as my muscles tensed and locked up, I couldn't lose control here. I felt every inch of my body twitch in anticipation, to release my god forsaken wings and come out from hiding.
"Isabella calm down" Jasper said in a tight voice as he stepped in front of Carlisle in a half – crouch protectively.
So this is what has become of my brother. He found satisfaction within another family while I'm stuck to move constantly with the scene of our parents dying in my head. My dead heart squeezed in remembrance and my muscles let go. I lost all of it again. My brother wasn't my brother anymore; he was a vampire that I knew nothing about. I took a step back from the spotlight.
"Isabella?" Jasper whispered on the edge, but he still stood his ground in front of Carlisle – his new father.
"The illness should have killed me" I stated as I straitened up my back. Jasper's eyes went wide with shock and he shook his head frantically.
"Isabella, no, that's not what I meant. These are a part of our fa-" Jasper started to explain with I gladly cut him off.
"That's your choice, and I won't interfere with it. They are your family, not mine – mine died." I stated and clenched my fists. Choice is what god gave his children and I will not go against god's will. "Let me make my own choices".
"Please.. Nurse Whitlock, we didn't mean any harm" Edward cut in with a hurt voice as he stepped forward.
"Alas Mr. Masen, it is not any of your faults." I said as I shifted my eyes to Emmett who was staring at me. "Another time Little Bear, your mother should be proud". Pain shot through my back but I sustained it as I turned to their front door.
"Isabella don't!" Jasper shouted and his hand was on my shoulder in a tight grasp, "Please don't leave, I just got you back" he begged.
"you got a dead body back, Jasper" I sighed and rubbed my temples. I had no energy to jump at this very second so I would have to wait a couple days or so until I could leave. Might as well start reading for a good time to go to… hm I wouldn't mind visiting Anna again. She was a great horse and I wanted to make sure those Vampires are taking good care of her. I took another unneeded breath. "I'm not in the most loving mood brother. Please". With that I shrugged off his hand and walked out the door.
"Nurse Whitlock wait," Edwards voice range out and he ran out in front of me on the steps, "please let me walk you to a safer place, I can not help but owe you an effort". I looked at him with compassion, so pure. I couldn't refuse.
I smiled faintly and said, "I don't need it, but for your satisfaction you may – but I worn you I'm boring" and with that I walked passed him toward the back of his house toward the woods, hearing his faint footsteps behind me.
Told you the mood was whacked up. Anyways it IS leading up to something bigger!
