As usual the two hour sleep I'd gotten felt like I'd only gotten five minutes of sleep, but instead of being my normal, groggy self I had a rush of excitement rush through me as I realized that my plan would be going into action sooner then I thought. I did my normal routine in getting ready for school and when I was finished I ran into my bedroom and decided it would be best if I brought the box full of contents with me, so I quickly stuffed it into my backpack and then joined Charlie downstairs for breakfast.

"Morning Bella." Charlie said in a high spirited tone.

"Morning dad."

While my plan ran through my thoughts on what I'd be doing after school I soon realized I needed to create a diversion and tell Charlie that I'd be going somewhere or else I wouldn't be able to do what I so desperately wanted and needed to do to find the answers I was looking for.

"Hey dad…A couple of girls in my class invited me to go over to their house today after school. Can I go?"

"Sure Bella. Just make sure your home at a decent hour ok?"

"Alright dad thanks."

Charlie had taken the bate better then I thought he would. I quickly finished up breakfast and kissed Charlie goodbye and was on my way to school.

I had arrived at school earlier then planed so I decided I would hide behind the dumpsters so that I could take sneak shots of Edward to examine later on. I waited for about fifteen minutes and was about to give up when all of a sudden Edward pulled up in his silver Volvo along with the rest of his family that always gotten rides form Edward to school.

I carefully took my camera out of my backpack and had successfully gotten a few snapshots of Edward without him noticing and decided I'd compare the picture in the locket with the picture I'd just taken. When I glanced at my cell phone to see what time it was I realized that I would have to hold off on looking at the pictures for now until lunch came around for I only had two minutes to get to class.

When first period started the rest of the day had gone by in a blur and before I new it I was in the cafeteria for lunch. I glanced around to make sure no one was watching me and then I cautiously took out the pictures from my backpack trying not to draw any suspicion to myself. Then I took the locket off and opened it to revile the picture it contained inside.

After a few minutes of going back and forth glancing at the pictures carefully examining every detail making sure I didn't miss one important fact or detail I realized it was like looking at identical twins for Edward Cullen had the exact same facial features as the boy in the picture from 1918. This sent a wave of chills down my spine. How could Edward possibly still be alive after all these years? It was impossible, but some how it was true. Examining the evidence I'd just gotten I could come up with one assumption which was that Edward Cullen was not human. No he was something much more..

While I was trying to gather my thoughts together to come up with a reasonable solution I was interrupted by the sound of the bell ringing, informing me that I had to go to my next class. It didn't dawn on me until I was right out side the door to my next class that my next class was biology and I would be sitting next to Edward. This was going to be more complicated then I'd thought it would be.

When class had started Mr. Banner decided that today would just be a day to hand out our books and gave us the rest of the class period to chat amongst ourselves. My thoughts were back to thinking on what I'd recently discovered when a soft, velvety voice broke through my train of thought.

"Hello, I'm Edward Cullen."

"Hello, I'm Bella Swan."

I was in complete shock when he started talking to me for I was used to him being so quiet that I sometimes forgot that he was even there. I decided to use this opportune moment to question him.

"Just out of curiosity Edward, What is your full name?"

"It's Edward Anthony Masen Cullen."

"Cool."

"Was there a reason behind your question?"

"No just was out of curiosity that's all."

When I looked up at his face to see his reaction to my bizarre question he looked irritated and confused. We didn't speak to each other again after that brief, perplexed conversation until the bell rang. When the final bell rang ending my last period class I ran to my car as fast as I could so that I wouldn't miss Edward.

After a few minutes, which seemed like an eternity, I finally spotted Edward and his family getting into their car. Once they pulled out of their parking space I did the same and followed them home keeping a good distance between us so I didn't raise any suspicion.

After about a fifteen minute drive Edward had finally pulled into a drive that snaked deep into the forest so I decided it would be best if I parked my car on the curb so that they wouldn't notice my car. I sat in my car for about fifteen minutes and decided it was safe to go explore and headed down the long, narrow path.

When I had reached the end of the driveway I had noticed an exquisite three story house that looked like it had been built back in the early 1900's. It looked so peaceful and humble just sitting here in the middle of the forest. When I looked around I didn't see any car's around so I figured everyone must be out.

When I had reached the porch I decided to take a peek inside and saw the most beautiful grand piano I'd ever seen in my life, so I decided I'd take a picture of it and at it to my many pictures I'd taken today. Then I headed to the back of the house and saw what looked like a small separate house. When I had gotten closer I realized the door was open and decided to check things out.

When I went inside I realized that it wasn't a house, but a very large garage filled with cars. I took pictures of a 2007 Saturn sky red convertible, Edward's silver Volvo, pink mustang with purple and hot pink flames, and a black jeep. I'd noticed that there had been a car missing and assumed it was Carlisle's since he had work.

When I had finally gotten myself away from the cars I decided I'd head back out toward the front of the house. When I had just reached the side of the house I heard the door open and quickly ran into the bushes closest to me. Whoever it was came around to the side of the house and was scanning the horizon as if expecting something to happen any moment. That's when I realized that they had seen me and were looking for me.

When I took a better look at the figure standing by the house I realized that it was Edward. Then before I new it he was looking right at me, but I couldn't tell if he could see me or not so to play it safe I sat as still a as I could until he looked away.

When Edward finally looked away I grabbed a rock and threw it in the opposite direction as a distraction so I could get to my car more easily. When I threw the rock it worked Edward went speeding into the direction I'd thrown the rock and I sprinted as fast as I could and started running for dear life toward my car. Then out of no where I felt a strong arm grab me around the waist pulling me toward them, while the other hand covered my mouth so I couldn't scream. I started to kick and scream into Edward's hand, but the more I fought back the titer he gripped me.

After a minute of struggling to break free I finally gave up and Edward loosened his grip. I felt his lips by my ear and he whispered to me

"What are you doing here Bella?

"I was just exploring a little it seemed like an interesting place to explore and I didn't know anybody was home."

"I see."

"Edward…I have to tell you something."

"Well go on."

"Well one night I was out exploring the forest grounds near my dad's house for I have insomnia you see and I didn't have anything to do. And well…I came across this trash area full of interesting objects and I came across a box that contained documentaries, a journal, and some pictures of a young boy named Edward Anthony Masen."

As soon as I finished explaining myself Edward froze into place and didn't respond for what seemed like hours. Then after a few minutes he spoke up.

"Bella I think it's time that you leave." Edward said in a tone informing me that this conversation was over with, but I could tell that he was hiding something and I would find out if it was the last thing I did.

"Alright…See you tomorrow in class I guess…Bye." And with that said I headed back to my house. Charlie wasn't going to be home until late tonight so I basically had the whole house to myself and since I didn't have any homework I decided to examine everything I found of Edward once more and decided to do some research to find out what Edward was.

After a few hours of research my list of possible things began to grow on what Edward could be some of the possibilities even if they did seem ridiculous, still couldn't be ruled out until I new I was finished with my list. The list was as followed:

Wraiths- A ghost of a person on the verge of death. The wraith can appear as he/she was when they were still alive.

Doppelganger- a duplicate of a person or creatures. Sometimes, a doppelganger can appear as flesh and blood, other times it can be an astral projection or a ghost.

Vampire- ageless, meaning their physical bodies do not age,immortal, pale skin, and have the strength to pick up heavy objects with one arm.

When reading more and more about all the different vampires the more I was beginning to think that this is what Edward truly was, but there were so many questions to be answered and how would I know if the stuff I'd seen in vampire movies actually happened to real vampires. When I looked at the clock it had read 7 and I was surprisingly tired and decided to go to bed, but before I went to bed I went to my backpack and stuffed my list into my biology note book and decided to look over my list more tomorrow in class.

When I woke up the day went by in a blur and before I new it I was sitting in biology class. I could feel the tension between Edward and I. Edward didn't really talk to me much after that incident last night. I was so absorbed in thinking what happened between Edward and I that I scarcely heard the bell ringing to end the period. I got out of my chair quickly for I was suddenly feeling nervous and well knowing me I tripped on my own two feet and my biology notebook and papers went flying across the floor. What I didn't expect was Edward to help me and I instantly regretted it too because I could tell by the disappointment on his face that he had seen my list. After a few minutes Edward finally spoke up

"If you really want to know then meet me at my house around 12 in the morning and I'll tell you. Though I wish you would stop trying to figure it out, but judging by the way things are I highly doubt that you will."

"Alright." I replied. I was so surprised by his sudden outburst that once I new he was finished I went to gym as fast as I could nervous, and excited all at the same time that he was finally going to tell me.

When I got home time seemed to go be real slow and I wanted it to be 12' O'clock really bad! So to make time fly I finished my homework, cooked Charlie dinner, and read a book and before I new it was time to go see Edward.

When I arrived at Edward's house he was waiting on the porch for me I sat by him and waited in silence. Then Edward finally spoke.

"Well I don't know how to really tell you this…My family agrees that you know too much and that there's nothing I can do, but tell you the truth…" He went silent again and then took a deep breath and spoke.

"You see we aren't exactly what you would call normal we're vampires."

"I see."

At first I thought he was joking around, but when I looked into his eyes I could tell that he was serious. After a three and a half hour conversation with Edward explaining his life and showing him the locket with the picture of him and his family I gave these objects to him so that he would have his memories of his childhood life.

We had become good friends and I decided that it didn't matter weather Edward was a vampire or not I would rather die then never see him again. And so we made plans to hang out together on Saturday. I glanced at my cell phone to see what time it was and it had been 3:30 in the morning. I told Edward good bye and headed home.
