Chapter 2: The Truth Comes Out With A Kiss
Emmett's POV
When I got home Rose was waiting for me.
"Why were you over there?!"
She growled at me.
Edward looked at me.
"To see if she was part of my family."
I said and she looked at me with cold eyes.
"You should have called me or something!"
Rose yelled.
I know she was pissed at me.
"I don't always have to call Rose."
I said as every one was trying not to listen.
"I'm your wife Emmett!"
She snarled at me.
Being a vampire I'm glad I don't get migraines anymore.
"Why are you so pissed off for Rosalie! What is the real reason?"
I said back.
Its starting to get header not to yell at this woman.
She didn't looked me.
I thought she was going to scream or hit me.
But she just turned her back and walked over.
I was shocked that she just walked away.
I looked at Edward.
Can I talk to you?
I thought.
He nodded his head and we left the house.
We ran a few miles away so Rosalie wont over hear us.
"Why is she so mad at me?"
I asked him.
"She is jealous that someone has your eye. Even is she is sick."
Edward said.
"I know she gets jealous all the time. I don't know its getting worst between us." I said slowly.
Edwards eyes got wide.
"You don't mean?"
He said.
"I don't think Rosalie is my true mate."
I said what he couldn't.
"Why do you say that?"
Edward said.
I sat down on a log and rubbed the back of my head.
"Don't get me wrong I love Rose but not in love with her anymore. Even before I saw Nova things wasn't going will. You heard my thoughts back then."
I said as Edward sat next to me.
"I know. But do you really think Nova is the one?"
He asked me.
"When I first saw Nova. I-I don't know how to say this. I feel happy and I mean really happy and warm when I see Nova. When I first saw Rosalie I didn't feel like this."
I said with a smile.
"Nova might be sick but when she talks about us she glows."
I said and he looked at me.
"What do you mean about us?"
Edward asked me.
Then I told him what she told me about her family and how she feels about us. "That is something. I wonder what Carlisle is going to think when he hears this." Edward said.
"I know but before that. Seeing her alone with no one caring about her. She has a very pretty smile."
I said and Edward looked at me.
"So what are you going to do?"
He said and I knew what he meant.
When I was going to tell Rosalie.
"I don't know. I don't think Nova will like me like that."
I said in a low voice.
Edward put his hand on my shoulder.
"I don't know. I can here her thoughts when you left. She really thinks your fun and sweet."
He said and I smiled.
"Really?"
I asked and he nodded.
"I want to hang with her a little more just to make sure that she is the one."
I said and Edward nodded.
"While lets get back. I want to talk to Carlisle when he get home."
Edward said.
Then we headed back to the house.
It was after school and I had Nova's homework.
I told the teachers I was going to take it to her.
So that gives me a reason to see her.
I took my jeep to her house.
I knocked on the door.
I heard Nova get up off her bed and slowly made her way down the stairs and to the door.
It took her a while.
She opened the door and smiled when she saw me.
"What are you doing here Emmett?"
Nova said in a horse voice.
She was screaming again last night.
So it didn't surprise me her voice was horse.
"I brought your homework."
I said as I held up my backpack.
"I thought Chief Swan was going to bring it?"
She said confused.
I smiled at her.
"Since we live close to each other they said I can bring it to you."
I said and she let me in.
She took me to the huge kitchen.
Nova was making something.
"What you cooking?"
I asked her.
Nova's face went red.
"Its a broth."
She said in a low voice.
As I took out her week worth of homework I saw her pour something into the broth.
It didn't smell right at all.
"What did you put in it?"
I asked Nova.
She kept her back towards me.
"It's a powder mix. It has not flavor but it has all the vitamins and minerals that my body needs. So I add it to the broth so it has a little bit of flavor."
Nova said and I sat down and watched her.
"But don't you eat any thing else?"
I said cause foods had all that.
If she is needing that mix then what is wrong.
"I cant keep down other foods down for long. So a broth and the mix is all I can have."
She said like I would think she was weird or something.
"That's understandable. So where do you get it?"
I said cause I know she doesn't leave the house much.
"Will they send me it threw the mail."
Nova said and her voice was really low but it had rage in it.
"Who are they?"
I asked not sure if I wanted to know or not.
"My good for nothing parents."
She growled but started to cough a lot.
It sounded like it was hurting her.
"You ok Nova?"
I asked her worried.
"Yes Emmett."
She said as she turned around to look at me with a smile.
"Why does your parents send it to you but they never come and see you?"
I said.
Nova shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know but its kept me alive. So its not that bad."
She said as she pour some of the broth in to a soup cup and came over the table. Nova sat across from me and looked at the homework.
Nova smiled as she looked up at me.
"This is easy. It shouldn't take me long to finish this."
Nova said as she took a sip of the broth.
"What kind is it?"
I asked her.
"Its beef. I like the beef better then the other kinds."
Nova said with a smile.
I smiled back.
"Nice. So want to do our homework together?"
I asked her.
"That would be nice. I never had any one to sit with me and do stuff like this together."
Nova said with a bigger smile.
I pulled out two pens and gave her one.
Then we started on our homework.
Will she had more then me but she did help me on some it.
She wasn't kidding when she said it wasn't going to take her long to finish.
I was done with my homework for the day.
So I helped and watched Nova.
"So Emmett how do you like Forks?"
Nova said as she finished the last page.
"Its good I like it."
I said as I stood up and got her another cup of broth.
"Thats good what is the rest of your family like?"
She asked me as I came back.
"Thank you."
She said when I gave her the cup.
"Will you meant Edward and Carlisle. There is Jasper, Alice, Esme and Rosalie."
I said.
She looked at me.
"I don't want to sound mean or anything like that. But you guys don't look alike. I mean Carlisle or Edward. I don't know what they others look like."
She said in a low voice. I smiled at her.
"Will Carlisle and Esme couldn't have kids so they adopted us."
I said and she smiled.
"So Emmett what do you like to do for fun?"
Nova asked as she took a drink of her beef broth.
"Oh I like sport, video games, and hunting."
I said and there was something in her eyes.
"Came with me then."
She said as she picked up her cup and I followed her back to her room.
Nova walked around her desk and walked to the wall and turned and vanished. "Nova where did you go?"
I said.
Nova's head popped out of nowhere.
"Sorry come this way it's a hidden way."
She said and I walked around and saw what she was talking about.
There was a hall way hidden in plan sight.
Nova opened a door and on the other side was a gamers dream.
"Wow you are a gamer?"
I said as I looked around see all the new kinds of game consoles and games. "Before I got sicker I had to stop. But it didn't mean I stopped buying them." Nova said as she sat down on the purple couch.
"Do you mind if we play?"
I asked.
Nova nodded her head.
And I looked for a game.
Nova's POV
Emmett light up when he saw my gamers room.
He picked out the newest football game and we started to play.
I was feeling pain again but I kept it in.
Its been years since I played.
So he kicked my ass for the last two hours.
Then his phone sent off he looked at it.
"Will I better get home."
He said with a sad look on his face.
"Ok. I walk you out."
I said as I got up and walked him to get his homework.
Then locked the door after he lift.
I did the dishes and went up stairs.
The pain was getting worse.
I balled up on my bed fighting the urged to scream.
When this happens I lose track of time.
But it felt like fire running threw me and I couldn't take it any more.
I screamed like I was being set on fire.
My heart left like it was being ripped from my chest.
I hated this fucken pain!
All my life it just keeps getting worse.
Why cant it just stop?
I wish it would just end.
Wish my life would end but if that happened then I wont be able to see Emmett again.
So is this pain worth it just to see him very time he comes over?
I thought to my self.
After a while of thinking and scream.
It is worth it.
Emmett don't look at me like I'm a sick person.
He sees me what is underneath the sickness.
But he is just being nice to me.
It is nice to have a friend I guess that is what he his to me around.
But something inside me didn't feel right.
There is something about Emmett that I like.
His eyes was something else.
Gold like the sun.
His smile makes my heart stop.
He is build like a grizzle bear.
Just the thought of Emmett the pain started to fad away slowly.
When the pain was gone I laid on my bed breathing heard.
My body was hurting so I tried not to move so much.
I wonder what this feeling is that I feel for Emmett.
Why my heart stops when I see him?
Why when I breath it hurt but not in the bad way?
When he looks at me my face goes red.
Just wonder why I feel like that when he is near me.
My eyes wont stay opened any more.
The next day I was feeling great.
No pain, no feeling sick no nothing.
So I got up and went to the bathroom.
Then went down stairs got some water.
Since it was one of my good days I cleaned up my room and bathroom.
It was noon so I grabbed my home work and headed for my truck.
Then I headed to the school.
It looked like the sun was going to come out soon.
So I wanted to be home when that happened.
Pulling up into the parking lot I part my truck next to a nice silver Volvo.
I got out and headed for the office.
"Its good to see you Nova."
Said the lady that I don't remember her name.
"Its good to see you to."
I said as I pulled out my homework.
"You know what they left me a message for you."
She said.
"What is it?"
I asked her.
"Since you're a straight A student. They said you don't need to do homework anymore. But you still have to take the state tests. When we have the books for you to study. So you can rest up and not have to worry about doing the homework."
She said and I smiled and thanked her.
I walked out of the office and headed for my truck.
I started to cough hard.
If I don't have anymore homework then I wont see Emmett as much.
I wasn't looking around me as I walked to my truck and got into it.
I started to cough so much I had to cover my mouth up.
Then I felt something came out.
I looked down to see black blood mixed with red.
I stared at it for a while then whipped it off on a towel.
I got the feeling I was being watch and I looked to my left to see Edward and this family.
Emmett was looking at me with worry.
I felt my face to a deep red.
I was about to start the truck again when I started to cough again.
Then I felt my door open and saw Emmett.
"Slide off I take you home."
He said and I did what he said.
He sounded mad so I didn't say anything.
Just coughed into my towel.
More of that black shit came out.
I could see him tense as he drove me home.
He pulled into the garage and got out.
Then came around to my side, open the door and pulled me into his arms.
I didn't know what was going on.
He was mad but he was holding me gentle.
Emmett walked into my house and took me to my room.
Sat me down on the bed and sat next to me.
He was shacking.
"W-what's wrong E-Emmett?"
I said in a low shaky voice.
His eyes snapped to me.
They were black and I didn't know if it was my eye or something else.
"Why did you go out for?!"
He said in a growl.
I moved away a little and he turned more towards me.
"I was feeling good so I went to hand in my homework."
I said and Emmett moved closer.
I could hear him sniffing me.
I moved till my back hit the wall.
He moved between my legs and moved his head closer.
Then put his head on my shoulder.
He stopped shacking when he did that.
My heart was beating so fast I could feel it trying to jump out of my chest.
I felt Emmett smile against my neck.
"You should have asked me to take it for you. If something happened to you I don't know if I could have taken it."
He said softly to me.
"I don't understand."
I said softly.
Cause I never had someone say this to me.
He pulled away and looked at me.
"I really care about you Nova. I know we just meant but there is something about you. I cant get enough of you. If something happened to you I don't think I could live on. I didn't know how I felt till I saw you in your truck with blood on your hands."
He said as he move his head closer to mine.
I still didn't understand.
"Please don't move."
He said as he moved his face closer to mine.
Then I closed my eyes. I felt him press his lips against mine.
His was a little hard but is was nice.
Wait what!
He is kissing me and I never kissed anymore before!
I screamed in my head.
I didn't know what the hell I should do.
Then he pulled away and I opened my eyes.
"Sorry."
Emmett said in a low sad voice.
"Don't be Emmett I never kissed any one before."
I said and my face started to cool off.
He smirked at me and leaned closer to me.
"If you like I can show you how its done."
Emmett said as he leaned closer again.
Then he told me what I needed to do.
After that he kissed me and I kissed him back and his move his hand into my dark red hair.
Emmett slide his tongue into my mouth and I froze.
He pulled back.
"Sorry I should slow down."
He said with a smile.
I know my face was red but it wasn't as red as before.
"You don't have to say sorry."
I said to him.
He smiled and kissed my cheek then neck.
A small moan slipped from my lips.
"I should stop right now."
Emmett said as he sat back away from me.
I didn't understand at all but I let him do what he wanted.
He put his hand on my knee and I put my hand on top of his.
Not sure if I should do that or not.
Emmett smiled at me.
"Nova how are you feeling?"
He said and I looked at him.
"I feel ok."
I said back to Emmett.
He looked at him.
"You look a little paler then before."
He said with worry.
"Don't worry about it. I go pale and come back."
I said as I coughed again.
Emmett got up and got me a towel.
I coughed into it and more of the black stuff came up.
Emmett sat beside me and rubbed my back.
"Sorry."
I said after the coughing stop.
"No its ok. At lest you didn't start coughing while we were kissing."
Emmett smiled at me as he wiggled his eyebrows at me.
I giggled at him.
"Yeah that would have been funny."
I said and he put his arm around my waist.
I put my head on his shoulder.
I could feel how hard his body was.
He couldn't be. . .could he?
I thought to my self.
"What are you thinking about?"
Emmett asked me.
I looked up at him.
"Just wishing I could go to the library."
I said and he stood up.
Softly picked me up and took me to the library.
I turned on the lights.
"Which shelf did I put it on."
I said to my self as I went to my family's history.
Emmett stayed close behind me just in case I fell.
My leg was started to shake.
"Maybe you should rest?"
Emmett said as he moved closer.
"Found it!"
I yelled a little.
Making Emmett jump.
"Sorry."
I said to him.
I pulled out a huge black leather book.
That I couldn't hold.
Emmett picked it up and picked me up with one arm.
"You are very strong."
I said to him.
"I know. I have to be for you now."
Emmett said then kissed my neck.
I giggled a little when he did that.
Then he took me back to my room with a chuckle.
Emmett walked with me like it was nothing.
I know I was lit but I didn't know I was that lit.
Back in my room Emmett sat me down on my bed and handed me the old book.
I opened it up and started to go threw it.
It had hand drawings in it and descriptions of each monster.
Emmett sat next to me and was trying to read it.
"What language is this?"
Emmett asked me.
"Sorry but the Van Helsing family made up a code for our books. I might have only been three but I knew how to break it or read it."
I said as I flipped the page's slowly.
"Why did they do that for?"
Emmett asked me.
"So no one could read them and use them for evil. Cause some of this stuff here can be used for evil."
I said.
Not just that this book gives you everything you need to know about that monster.
What it looks like, how they are made, what they eat, how to find them and how to kill them.
I use to read this all the time before I got sicker.
I would never have thought this book was real till I meant Emmett and got to know him.
Then I found the page it had a picture of a human but it read Vampire on the page. "Which on is this?"
Emmett said to me with a smile.
I looked at him.
"It is a humanoid creatures. They were human once but turned into what they are now."
I said as I remember the page number 313.
And kept on going.
"How many kinds of humanoid creatures are there?"
Emmett asked me.
I put my head on his stone hard arm.
"A few but there are a few that looks like human but really are something else. Like take the banshee. She is like a human but when death is near she will scream. There is still little known about them. Banshee's are very rare so there is little known about them." I said as I looked at him.
"Banshee's?"
There was something on his face that I couldn't read.
"Yea they look like humans act like them. But they have a power to know when someone is going to die."
I said.
"That is something. What other kinds of creatures are there?"
Emmett asked me.
"Will besides the ones I told you about. There are hybrid's, dragons, white eyes, Sphinx, Kala, Zar's and many more."
I said.
"Dragons are real?"
He said and I smiled.
"Yes but they learned to change their shape. They walk with the humans. You could be looking at one and never know."
I said to him.
"That is something."
He said as he put his head on top of mine.
Then he looked up and around.
It looked like Emmett what listening to something.
"Nova I have to go. But if its ok with you. I would like to come back tomorrow after school."
Emmett asked me.
"That would be nice."
I said and then he kissed me before he left.
Once I heard the door shut I went back page 313 and started to read:
What we know about vampires as been added to this book threw out the ages. They look like humans but there are a few things that makes them different from us. One is that they have red, gold or black eyes.
They reflect sunlight prismatically. They never sleep, nearly indestructible. They are pale, beautiful immortals and they drink blood. Some drink human and others drink animal. They are flammable. They are cold to the touch and have hard body's. After some study of them the red eyes of a vampire is due to the blood of humans they drink.
The gold eye vampire drinks the blood of animals so their eyes turn gold. They value human life more then their thirst. They must not be killed at any cost. They red eyes we been at war with. Till one of our own fell in love with one. The red eye came to us and said. "I know I drink human blood and I'm not ashamed of it. But have you very thought that with out us around the human population would get to big. Just like animals you have to thin them out so the world can keep growing." We never thought about that.
Then he told us about their law and as long as they keep to it. We have nothing to fear. But the ones that shows their blood lust will be dealt with. Both of their eyes turn black when they need to feed. They have super speed, sight, hearing and smell. Some of them has powers that they can use. Some we found that can read minds, see the future, deliver pain with their minds, take away feeling and sight, block or shield them self's from attacks.
There are a lot more but you get the idea. When they find their true mate that's is it for them. It is sad when anyone's mate is kill. But if that happens to a Vampire or a shape shifter they will never find another mate.
I stopped cause that was sad.
If their mate dies they must be in so much pain.
But thinking about it Emmett fits all of this.
His golden eyes that turns black.
His rock hard body.
Emmett must have heard someone out side so he left.
I never seen anyone like Carlisle, Edward or Emmett before.
They are pale and beautiful.
I bet they are immortal as while.
Fork's is a good place for them cause the sun hardly comes out.
So they would be safe here.
But the big question is what am I going to do?
I know this is cool but what if they have to leave cause I know?
Gold eyes wont kill me right?
I will never tell anyone this.
But what would Emmett say or do if I ask him if he is a vampire?
Would he tell me the truth?
If he does, does he have to leave?
I don't think I could stand to be away from him.
But does it really matter if he tells me or not?
I know the truth and if he does tell me that's fine.
Its not like I'm his true mate or anything.
I'm not pretty or anything.
He is just being nice to me.
The kiss was just something he thought I might like.
Yeah that's it.
I'm sick and going to die soon or some day.
So he thought I shouldn't die with out having my first kiss.
I put the book to the said and turned off the light.
Then put my head on the pillow and started to fall asleep.
Edwards POV
I was out side Nova's house listening to them talk.
"Emmett you should let her rest. She cant stay up this late."
I said.
Ok Edward. I'm on my way.
He thought and said goodbye to Nova and left.
That's when her thoughts stopped me from going home.
Emmett came over to me.
"Edward whats wrong?"
He said to me but I held a hand up to him.
It didn't take long for Nova to go to bed.
"We have to get home now. I need to talk to Carlisle."
I said and we took off running back home.
It's a good thing Carlisle was home tonight.
He was with every one in the living room.
"Van Helsing."
I said and he looked at me.
"How do you know that name?"
Carlisle said.
"She is a Van Helsing."
I said and Carlisle was looked at me.
"But why is her last name McCarty?"
He said but Emmett spoke up.
"Cause her parent changed it cause a Van Helsing isn't suppose to be weak."
I nodded my head.
"You have nothing to worry about Edward. Even if she is a Van Helsing they don't hunt us."
Carlisle said.
"I know that. She is reading a book that has us in it. She knows what we are."
I said and Rosalie stood up and glared at Emmett.
"I told you not to be going over there!"
She snarled at him.
But Emmett looked at her.
"I told you she needs a friend."
He said coolly.
"What did she think when she found out?"
Emmett said as he looked at me.
"Nova is a weird one I give her that. She wont say anything to anyone. Nova wont even ask you if you are one or not. If you tell her then she would be happy to know for sure."
I said with a smile on how her mind works.
Rosalie's mind was cursing at Emmett in her head while she growled at him.
"So what are we going to do?"
Esme said.
She was afraid of having to move again.
"Carlisle its up to you on this one."
I said.
"Tomorrow I go over there after Chief Swan leaves and talk to her."
He said and I nodded my head and sat down.
Rosalie snarled again and stormed out of here.
I can hear Emmett trying to figure out how to tell Rose how he wants Nova with out hurting Rose a lot.
I wasn't really happy about him going to hurt Rose but I was happy that he was finally going to tell her.
But I hope nothing bad is going to happen.
