Another update for y'all... You can say it's short, but hey, at least I updated! Heheee.

"Hey, it's Bella, is Jake there?"

"Hi, it's Rosie, is Jake there?"

"Is Jake feeling better yet?"

"Is he home yet?"

"How is Jake doing?"

"Can I come over?"

It was March now, and we hadn't seen or heard from Jacob Black in two weeks.

I sighed and walked into Bella's room. She wasn't back from work yet. On her bed lay a notebook, which was open on the middle page.

Edward Cullen had ice cold skin, his eyes changed colour and he never went out in the sunlight.

I didn't care what he was. I was falling in love with him.

I raised an eyebrow and thought of what Jacob had said on the beach....

"I hate him." Jacob hissed. "I warned her, but she's too stubborn to listen."

I put my cold hands in my pockets. "Us Swan girls are pretty stubborn."

"But, I bet you'd never fall for one of them."

... What exactly had Jacob meant when he said 'them.'

I thought about it for a moment and then the phrase 'the cold ones' came to mind.

I hurried back into my room and picked up the 'Quileute legends' book. I scanned through the book, stopping on the chapter titled 'Enemy.'

"The cold ones were pale-faced with ice-cold skin. They never go out in the sunlight, in case they reveal their true identities. Cold-ones are unnaturally beautiful, helping to lure in their pray, so that they are able to drink their blood..."

I gulped and slammed the book shut. Vampires. Vampires were real?!

If they were real, which other 'fairytale' characters were?

"Hey, Rose, I'm home!" Bella called, coming up the stairs.

I bit my lip, feeling sick.

"I'm up here." I replied, still in shock.

I heard Bella stumble into my doorway. "Are you okay?"

I turned around and looked at her, my eyes wide with horror. "You.. you dated a vampire?!"

Her eyes also widened. "What are you talking about?"

"I've read it in the books Bella... Edward was a vampire, wasn't he?"

She stared at me. "I er... I.."

"Bella, I know. I read it in the book, and you're a terrible liar."

She looked down. "He was, but you cannot tell anyone."

"What about Charlie?! Does he know?! And Jake?!"

She shook her head, her eyes softening. "No one knows. Rose, please keep this secret."

I shuddered. "No one would believe me anyway... eurgh, Bells, how could you do that? They're like...dead."

"I know."

I shuddered again; did she sleep with him. "Oh my god, did you-"

"No. I only kissed him." She replied, cutting me off, a little flustered. She clutched her chest. "Look, I've got work, so I'll see you later."

I nodded. "Sorry I brought him up, I was just-"

"Freaked out, I know, it's understandable." She half-smiled and left the room.

I stared out of my window. If this was true, how many other fairytales were more than a myth?


That afternoon, I went on a walk in the woods, before heading back home.

I froze in the path when a man with dark-skin, black dreadlocks and blood-red eyes appeared.

He smiled, wickedly at me. "Hello, are you Bella's friend?"

I shook my head. "I'm her cousin."

"Oh." He replied, edging closer to me. "Is Bella home?"

"She's.. out." I replied, knowing she wouldn't want to be bothered at work.

His smile widened and his eyes closed as he inhaled the air, deeply. He moved closer to me, and immediately I felt cold. "Well, I am thirsty."

That's when my eyes widened in horror. "Vampire." I gasped.

He ran his hand across my cheek. "Aren't you a clever girl? And you smell simply... mouthwatering... just like your cousin."

My heart raced and my breathing quickened. This could not be happening.

I lunged at him with a punch, but he dodged it, throwing me backwards onto the sidewalk.

I winced as my head cracked against the concrete. Crap.

I felt my head, groaning when I realised I was bleeding.

Bleeding in front of a blood-thirsty vampire. Smooth.

The vampire's nostrils flared and he grinned once again. "Humans cannot out-smart me."

I shook with fear, wincing as blood poured out of my head. My vision was worsening thanks to the head wound.

He leant towards me, leaning over me, licking his lips.

A tear rolled down my cheek and I prayed Bella and Charlie would be safe of this vampire.

At least I would soon be with my mom...

A wolf appeared from no where; if you could call it a wolf. It was bigger than a bear, with russet skin, and amber-coloured eyes.

It tackled the vampire to the ground and let out a howl.

Something screamed.

Was that me?

No, it was the vampire. The vampire was screaming? But, it was only an abnormal-sized wolf...

I tried to sit up, but I couldn't. I was too weak and the metallic smell of blood was making me dizzy.

Then a head flew past me. My stomach churned and I shuddered, trying to ignore the vampire's head that was just a few metres away from me.

My eyes started to close, but I forced them open.

"Rose, don't pass out. You cannot die. You've got to look after Bella and Charlie." I whispered to myself, but my body was too stubborn.

My vision spun around me, like the world was rotating and lightspeed.

I let out a choked-scream as the wolf hurried over to me.

It's amber eyes met mine; they were filled with sorrow and hurt.

Was the wolf going to kill me next?

I took a deep breath.

And then everything went dark....
