Questions

EPOV

"Rose?" I grabbed her hand. "Rose?"

What had just happened?

I checked her pulse. Normal. She was sweating a little, her breathing a little bit labored.

"Edward" Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder.

"I need to check Rose, son"

I nodded and sat on the bed by her feet.

Carlisle was checking her pulse, her eyes, her temperature.

"What happened?" asked Carlisle.

"I already know all of you were listening. So just tell me what happened to Rose"

Carlisle sighed. "She over exerted herself. Her mind seems to be a little fragile at the moment. Forcefully trying to remember everything all at once caused a massive headache or migraine and the strain it had on her brain caused her to lose consciousness"

I sighed. "So it's my fault then?" I nodded. I always seem to hurt someone in the process.

"Edward…"

"Yes, yes it is! I wanted to know more and I pushed her intro trying to remember. She just woke up and I put her right to sleep"

I couldn't cry because I was incapable of tears.

Besides I didn't feel sadness. I felt anger.

"Is she going to be okay?"

He nodded. "Yes, she's just going to need to rest a little while longer"

"That's good" I said.

"Let's go downstairs Edward. We all have to talk"

I nodded. "Is Rose going to be okay here by herself?"

"Yes, she's back to normal. Her mind need to rest that's all"

I nodded and followed Carlisle out the door glancing one more time at the goddess' sleeping form on my bed.

When we made it downstairs I could hear worry in both Esme and Alice's thoughts.

"Are you alright Edward?" asked Esme.

I nodded.

"Edward" Alice was going through visions. Some I could see involved Rose. Some included Bella. But nothing concrete. Everything was fuzzy and she didn't know what that meant.

Alice sighed in frustration and Jasper comforted her.

"What are we going to do about the girl?" asked Rosalie.

"I don't know" I said.

She turned to Carlisle. "Carlisle?"

"I don't know. I'm thinking that maybe we can keep her until we think her condition is a bit more stable and possibly begins to remember." he sighed.

"Carlisle?" asked Rose, getting impatient.

"Rosalie" Carlisle sighed. "I can't just try and dispose of her like I'm thinking you want to do. Her injuries may already be healed, and yes that is strange but she is lost and if I can I'm going to help her"

"What are we going to do about hunting? What kind of excuse will we give when we all have to hunt?" asked Jasper. "I don't want anything to happen. We all know what'll happen if The Volturi gets a hold of this information" he said.

"Believe me Jasper" Carlisle said. "I know, but I can't just take this girl anywhere and leave her there. It just wouldn't feel right"

Esme went up to Carlisle and comforted him, placing her hand on his shoulder and taking his hand. He just nodded and somewhat calmed down.

"Well we don't have to hunt for a couple of more days and we can possibly do it after she's fallen asleep" I said.

"Yeah, well we'll decide when we get to that point. Better than nothing" Emmett said.

"I'm still unsure of what this girl's role is in the future, but from what I've been seeing or unable to see clearly, she's so far going to be alright." she sighed. "But then again we all know how unreliable my visions are. But for right now…Rose is looking to be a large part of the future"

Everyone's mind was still plagued with questions. And…discomfort. A human who found out about us is the ultimate rule breaker.

Bella being the exception. She found out about me and to this day kept the promise of keeping my secret.

Still she wants to become part of my secret. She wants to become like me.

The monster.

"I dream about being with you forever"

Those were her exact words. Words that prove something. That she does love me, but of course nothing like I do. She might not be able to handle it with her mind and body, but it's enough. Enough for her to want to spend eternity with me, for her and I to just be together. But I can't do it. I cannot destroy her soul.

She's too precious to belong in my world.

So my answer is always no.

"Edward" Alice said interrupting my thoughts. "I need to hunt for a little but, to distract my head. Can you come with me?" "We need to talk. Away from all hearing ears"

I nodded my head. "Sure. Rosalie?" she looked up at me with questioning eyes. "Please look after the girl for me. Call me if she wakes up"

She rolled her eyes and started walking up the stairs. "Whatever Edward, maybe you should stop worrying about a human that isn't Bella"

She was right. Bella should be my priority, but I haven't thought about her. Rose has been -for now- my priority.

"I don't know what he sees in humans. I personally don't find anything special about them"

I silently chuckled. Always the same with Rosalie. I seriously wish that she could change just a little.

Yeah right. No amount of wishing can ever make that happen.

I started following Alice out the back door. Glancing at my window as I made my way to the lake.

I sighed and closed my eyes, shaking my head.

OoOoOoO

I know that Alice didn't want to hunt.

That the questions forming in her head are the only things that have her undivided attention.

We ran and ran to the Canadian borders and stopped.

Alice sat on a tree branch and I on a boulder.

"What do you want me to say Alice" I asked out of the blue.

She just sat there quietly. Remembering the visions she had the day I realized -or rather she realized- that I was in love with Bella. The day of the accident. The concrete vision that one day Bella would be one of us.

"I still don't know what you want me to say" I told her.

"I just don't understand" she said "Bella's future is tied to yours and then this girl comes out of nowhere and everything I know doesn't exist or make sense anymore"

I sighed running my hand through my hair.

"You know that no matter what I can never let Bella become one of us. I couldn't do that to her. I don't want to take her like away like that just because I'm afraid that some day I'm going to lose her"

She sighed. "Whether you like it or not Edward, the vision is still there" she said as she once again was looking at clouded visions that passed through her mind. Bella and Alice side by side. Once chocolate brown eyes that were always readable turned red. Eyes that I couldn't read, along with a mind that's completely closed to me.

I could never live with myself. I couldn't -in the deepest part of my mind- be closed off to Bella's emotions that show through her deep chocolate colored eyes. Yes, that was selfish to think but the minute I let Bella into my world, into my secret, rules and everything else went out the window. I wanted to stay selfish.

"But this girl is also there. She's also playing Bella's role in your future"

Bella's role? "Are you saying Rose is going to become a vampire?"

If my heart still beat, at this very moment it'd be racing and I wouldn't be able to breathe.

Why is it that I always have to have someone in my life and then have them destined to give them this awful fait?

I shook my head slowly. No. no one is going to have this awful fait brought to them because of me. I could prove Alice wrong if it meant keeping Bella and Rose safe.

"I don't know!" Alice shouted then sighed. "I don't think so. I just know that whatever is your future…it's between Rose and Bella"

"I don't even know the girl Alice" I sighed. "besides I just want to get her home to whoever is waiting for her"

"Well all I know is that Rose is safe for us and…" I saw it in her mind before she even voiced it. "you and her are going to become very close?"

She sighed hard. Clearly frustrated. "How is it that a human can block my visions this way?"

I sighed. I think if I was a human, right now I'd be tired with all the questions and activities that happened in the couple of hours. But right now I just have to wait for Rose to remember, because I do have a lot of questions and I won't make the same mistakes as I did earlier. I'll let Rose remember on her own.

"Let's go back home" I said.

I had to check on Rose. I have to see if she's okay.

Maybe Alice is right…maybe Rose and I will become good friends.

Alice nodded and we started out run home.

RPOV

I could possibly be dreaming right now because there was someone in front of me, talking to me…but calling me the wrong name.

"Lissa you have to relax" said this green eyes good looking guy.

"I can't Adrian. What if they don't find her? What if she's dead?" the girl talking suddenly became sad, running her hand through soft hair. "What if she became one of them?" Then I stood up and started pacing around the room. I was nervous, sad, tired. "I don't think I'd be able to go on without her, knowing that she could be one of them"

The guy stood up from where he was sitting and came to stand in front of me, both hand on my shoulders, holding me in place. His emerald kind of colored eyes were looking down at me. They looked very confident.

"Listen to me Liss. I don't want you to ever think that. Her being one of them will mean the end of our world. She'll be the biggest threat and we'd be forced to kill her. You and I along with everyone who love her don't want it to come to that." he closed his eyes and squeezed my shoulders lightly. "It would kill us"

I wonder who he was talking about. I wonder who he even is anyway. Do I know him? Maybe he's a memory from part of my life that I forgot?

Still for some reason after this guy, Adrian, said those things I started feeling a little better. A little more confident.

I nodded my head and hugged him. "You're right" I said? "they'll find her and bring her back to us safe and sound"

Then everything went black. I was back in my dreamless sleep and I never felt more peaceful.

OoOoOoO

My eyes fluttered open and I could see light all around the room. Was it morning?

"What happened?" I said still sleepy.

"You lost consciousness and slept if off the whole rest of the night" said someone who sounded like they were right next to me.

"Edward?"

"Are you alright now Rose?"

I nodded, and slowly sat up on the bed, rubbing my eyes.

My throat felt dry.

I guess he knew what I needed because I felt him try and put the sup of water in my hands.

I slowly took it and drank some water and it felt good.

I cleared my throat and finally opened my eyes, putting the water back on the nightstand.

I saw Edward was standing in front of me, still looking cute in every way.

"What time is it?"

"Past six in the morning"

"Ugh that sucks" I said as I laid back down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

He chuckled and it sounded really beautiful.

I looked back at him. "What are you doing up at this time anyway? didn't you sleep well?"

"I'm always awake around this time. I usually go for a run before I have to get ready for school"

"How old are you"

"Seventeen" he said.

"You look eighteen" I smiled.

He chuckled. "Thanks"

My stomach growled and I blushed.

He laughed. "What do you want to eat?" he asked.

I bit my bottom lip seriously embarrassed. "Hmmm. I think I want eggs, bacon, a hash brown, a bagel with cream cheese, and orange juice"

He laughed. "Wow you sure can eat"

I blushed again.

"Come on" he said and grabbed my hand slowly dragging me out of bed. "let's go down to the kitchen and I'll prepare you something to eat"

Going downstairs was kind of cool. His house was big and every time you went down a flight of stairs you'd always see something different. You could see outside. The woods and the small sound of rain. It was beautiful.

When we entered the kitchen I wasn't all surprised that no one was there.

"Is everyone still asleep" I asked him as I sat down on a stool.

He shrugged, gathering things from the refrigerator. "Probably"

I was watching him make my breakfast and I cant believe they actually had everything I wanted to eat. But I guess it was understandable, there's a lot of people to feed.

Then I heard the sound of a truck coming towards the house.

"Someone's here" I told him. And when I said that he kind of looked like someone electrocuted him again. "Do you want me to get it?"

"No, I'll get it that's okay Rose"

I shook my head. "No, I'll get it. I don't want you burning my breakfast" I said playfully.

Before he could say anything I was already at the door opening it.

There was a girl there. Her hand raised, about to knock the door.

"Can I help you?" I asked her.

She put her hand down, looking curiously at me. "Uh yeah, is Edward home?"

I nodded. "He's in the kitchen right now. I can go get him and tell him you're here"

"Thank you"

I nodded and moved to the side to let her in.

After she stepped in I took a short look at her.

She was kind of pale, but nothing like Edward. She was slim, long brown red wavy hair. Brown eyes. She was really pretty.

"Okay, I'll go get him. May I ask who's looking for him?"

"Bella"

Okay so I did what I promised.
