A/N: Wow, I'm surprised I got so many reviews. I expected people to hate it. Lol. Well for the kindness of all your reviews I decided to update immediately. I think this chapter will answer a few of your questions as to Rosalie. I thought of that idea, and I immediately found another lead to which way to head for the story. I hope you all like reading it as much as I like writing it. (:

Chapter 4: You're what?
Bella stood petrified at the door.
"Rose! What happened? Everyone thinks you're dead!" Bella exclaimed and went to hug her.
The moment Bella's arms made contact with her body, she realized two very important details.
One, Rose's body was cold. Freezing cold. And two, that her body was hard, as hard as a rock.
The hiss that escaped Rose's lips was unlike that of any human. It was very animalistic.
Rose's eyes were a shade of pure gold. They sparkled as her face frowned. "They're right my sweet Bella. I'm no longer alive."
The shock on Bella's face was evident. "Bu- But how? You're here and talking." Bella's eyes had widened as she remembered the fairytales her mother used to tell her when she was younger. No, Rose couldn't be.
"Bella, my dear, I'm afraid to admit it. But even though I can breathe, talk, and be able to physically be here. My heart does not beat." Rose grabbed Bella's hand and placed it above her heart.
There was no beat.
"Bella, I'm a vampire." The words rung in Bella's head for what seemed like hours but was merely minutes.
"No, you can't be… You can't be dead, Rose. You're my best friend." Bella sobbed.
"Don't cry Bella. I'm still here. I'm still your best friend.' Rose was reluctant to hug Bella, but she did so cautiously and softly.
Bella sniffed and hugged her back. "Are you staying for good?" Bella cried.
Rose stiffened at the thought, "Bella, I know you think I'm not scared anymore, especially since who I am, but I am. I couldn't face any of them again."
"But I did. They're not that bad. They've changed." Bella told her and pulled away.
"Even Edward?" Rose said hopefully. Bella smiled, she remembered Rose used to have the biggest crush on Edward when they were younger, despite all his harsh words.
"Well… in a sense. He's not mean as much as he is stuck- up and big- headed." Bella explained.
"You'll still be my best friend right?" Rose asked hopefully, her new rough exterior fading at the thought of being the friendless nerd once again.
"Of course Rose… I just… got one question…" Bella stated, becoming a little scared again.
"What is it?" Rose asked backing away at the realization Bella was afraid of her.
"You don't… feed on… humans… do you?" Bella asked, afraid of actually knowing the real answer. She pressed herself back against the door again as Rose laughed, in what sounded to be a witch cackle.
"No, Bella. I don't feed on humans. I'm a vegetarian, remember?" Rose giggled. The sound of it was velvety smooth. Bella looked utterly confused at the statement of her being a vegetarian.
"How can you be a vegetarian? You feed on blood!" Bella whisper yelled. Rose just giggled again.
"I feed on animal blood, Bella. Not humans. That makes you a vegetarian in the vampire world. It doesn't quench my thirst entirely but it dulls it. So I'm a vegetarian." Rose explained to Bella. Bella still didn't fully understand but nodded. Then something crossed her mind that she couldn't help but ask.
"Where are you living at?" She asked suddenly.
"Rose's eyes saddened as she spoke. "Nowhere. When I was changed, I had no one. I lived nowhere. I just roamed freely," She told me solemnly.
"Oh… I can ask Ch- Dad if you can stay here with us... He'd be pleased to announce that he found you and you'd have a place to stay." She said, Rose thought about it, and then agreed.
Rose had moved in with Bella and was living in the guest room. Everyone was so proud of Charlie that he got promoted. And Charlie was too proud of himself to realize that Rosalie was different. Soon enough Rose was enrolled into school with Bella.
Bella and Rose were early to school, the day she was enrolled. And luckily they both shared 3 of their 5 periods, including lunch.
"What happened to Jasper?" Rose asked, it had been years since she'd seen him.
Bella looked at her oddly then said, "Nothing. Why?" Rose just shrugged.
"I was thinking about asking him out to get him back for the way he was to us as a kid." Rose explained. Bella felt her blood boil at the thought of Jasper and Rose. She instantly recognized the feeling as jealousy. Unfortunately for her Rose noticed Bella's red face, and the jealousy was practically radiating off of her. "Ohhhh," Rose said and smiled. "Someone has a cruuuush!" She sang in a sing song voice. "Youuu liiike Jasper!
"Shut up!" Bella scolded her and looked away, her face turning three different shades of red.
Bella snuck a quick peak over at Rose and realized how beautiful she was. I wonder if I would be prettier if she changed me… Bella thought. She began thinking; maybe the life of a vampire would be better. She wouldn't have to worry about walking home late at night, and being raped or murdered in a dark alley. She would be stunningly beautiful. I could rip Edward's face off of his shoulders; she thought and smirked at the thought of it. She'd never really thought about it before. But immortality seemed like the perfect escape from like to her.
But Jasper… She couldn't deny she felt something for him. It was obvious, even as a child that one fact had been painfully obvious to everyone except him. She told her mother about it and her mother just told her it was a crush, that all little girls got them. But even now as a teenager, she felt it wasn't a crush any longer. Because don't crushes end as quickly as they start? Well 10 years give or take a few, was too long to be a crush.
Bella looked over at Rose her face no longer red. She knew what she wanted. "Rose?"
"Yeah," Rose asked looking at Bella suspiciously.
"I want you to change me."
