Chapter 3

"Wow I did…not know I was this blind before. It's like I can see clearly now" Bella's transformation was complete. Two days of physical and mental pain was over. She had officially become a true Cullen now.

"You'll get used to it Bella, this is all new to you, just take it a step at a time" Edward said to calm her down and stop her going on a feeding frenzy.

"Edward, I can hear your thoughts by the way. Don't worry about me, I'm not thirsty…yet" Bella said and winked at him.

"Hmmm…very interesting. I still can't hear yours though. I wish I could hear one thought in your pretty little head". Edward jumped down from the tree, and Bella followed, falling gracefully and touched the ground without making a sound.

"I'll make a great hunter out of you Bella, you just gotta learn self control". Edward said, as they both jumped the lake and raced back home.

Soon as Edward and Bella stepped through the door, Bella saw Edwards face cringe.

"Your wolf boy is here…ugh I can smell him. What has he done, rubbed his fur all over the place? This place stinks!"

"Oh shut up Edward" Bella pushed him. "He's just coming to visit, that's all. Now be a good husband and let him in ok?" Bella said sweetly, and flashed a smile at him.

"Fine, wolf b…" Bella glared at him. "I mean Jacob, c'mon on in" Edward said opening the door for him.

Jacob didn't even bother saying hi to Edward, he just bounded straight over to Bella and gave her one of his big bear hugs.

"I'm still waiting for you to say, Jake, I can't…breathe every time I give you a hug, but I guess it's different now that you're a bloodsucker too." Jacob said letting go of Bella, and staring at the changes which had been made in the transformation. "You've changed Bella…"

"Not really Jake, I'm still plain old Bella. I've just got lets say…superpowers" Bella giggled when she said that.

"Edward, can I speak to Bella alone please?" Jacob turned to Edward waiting for a answer. Edward tortured him by making him wait for what seemed forever.

"You've got five minutes" Edward said and walked out of the room.

"Don't worry Edward he won't hurt me" Bella said out loud.

"You can hear his thoughts? Wow, cool" Jacob said, sitting down on the couch.

"Yeah, it's just a power I've gotten through my transformation, long story Jake…" Bella giggled and joined him on the couch.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Bella asked, starting to get curious. She knew Jacob wouldn't keep any secrets from her for very long.

"Bella…" Jacob cupped her face with one hand, and stroked her with the other. "Edward…he's not right for you. I still love you; you can leave him and be with me. What do you say?" Jacob said, waiting for an answer.

"Jake…you know I don't love you the same way. We've been over this heaps of times already" Bella said sighing. "Great…this again" she thought to herself.

"C'mon it could work for us; I will make it work…" Jacob said pleading with her.

"No Jake, you can't make it work because there is nothing to work on. Now if you don't stop this right now I'll get Edward to come in here and throw you out." Bella said pointing to the door. "Or I could do it myself; I could put my new strength to good use you know".

"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll leave now, I see where you stand now, and I won't come back, because I've given up on you. Bye Bella..." Jacob walked out, not even stopping to give her a hug, like he usually did.

"Jake…I didn't mean it like that." Bella tried to stop him, but he had already left.

"Are you okay Bella? I knew I shouldn't have let that dog come here" Edward said as he pressed himself to her, catching the tears on his shirt. Edward knew what had happened because even though Jacob had tried to block his thoughts from Edwards head, Edward got through his mental block, and heard everything.

"I pushed him away Edward…now he won't come back" Bella said, sobbing harder into his now soaked shirt.

"Shhh…c'mon , let's go relax in bed ae?" Edward carried her to their bedroom in her arms and laid her on the bed.

"You know what I miss right now? Been able to sleep, and forget about everything….ugh now what do we do?" Bella said as she rested her chin on his chest.

"We could just lay here and talk if you want, we don't have to do anything if you prefer". Edward said stroking her hair.

After a few hours, it grew dark, Bella and Edward decided to go down to the lounge and see what everyone else was up to.

"You ok Bella? I hope that Jacob didn't hurt you too badly". Alice said giving her a hug. Jasper followed behind her, and the room was suddenly calm, Bella forgot her argument with Jacob and she felt happy.

"Thanks Jasper". Bella said giving him a hug.

"Anytime…" Jasper laughed.

"Where have you two been?" Edward asked them, as they flopped down together on the couch.

"Just been hunting, we caught up with someone who would be interested in joining us" Alice said.

"Uh… who? Anyone we know?" Edward asked.

"No, funny thing is, this person isn't a vampire. He's a human. And somehow he knows what we are." Alice said seriously.

"How is that possible? He's obviously been talking to the wolves." Bella said. "Maybe we should call everyone for a family meeting, this guy could be trouble.

"Already done, Carlisle and Esme are on their way, and Rosalie and Emmet are going to walk through the door any minute now.

Just as Alice correctly saw in her mind, Rosalie and Emmet came through the door arguing.

"Emmet, leave me alone! I don't need this right now, just go away!" Rosalie ran up the stairs with unhuman speed, and slammed her bedroom door. She was crying but trying to hide it.

"Emmet, what's up with Rosalie?" Jasper asked him.

"Argh I don't know…women…" Emmett replied, joining them. "She's having a big go at me, only because I didn't want to go on a vacation with her". Emmet said sighing.

"Why not?" Edward asked him, he started to stroke Bella's hair again, it was a habit of his.

"I'm happy here…and if we went somewhere else and things got a bit hot and steamy…you know what I mean…I just think it's better for us to stay here. Just forget about us, what's up with Alice's news?" Emmet replied, looking alert.

Alice repeated what she told to the others to Emmet and to Esme and Carlisle when they arrived.

"I think we should invite this boy over and ask him how he found out about us. We've always been careful to hide what we really are. Maybe we could convince the boy that this is not a good choice". Carlisle added. "Alice, can you remember where this boy lives?" He asked her.

"Yeah, I'll go pick him up now, Jasper you'll have to come with me, just in case he needs some calming down." Alice said, she grabbed the car keys, and in just minutes Bella could hear her yellow Porsche going down the gravel road.

"Well I guess, all we can do is wait" Edward mumbled. The Cullens watched out the window waiting for Alice and Jasper to come home. Carlisle was thinking of ways to explain all of this to the boy with Esme, Bella and Edward just sat on the couch in disbelief.

How could this boy possibly know about the Cullens secret?" All they could now was wait and find out.

Sorry for the delay in updates. I've been really busy, as the school year is coming to a close in New Zealand…and exams are coming up. And that's taking time away from my fanfiction writing. Next chapter will be up as soon as I can. Reviews are appreciated.
