Chapter 4 - Edward Cullen (Grace's POV)
"Wait a minute, how did you know -?" I said, but that was all I could get out before he vanished.
I was horrified. There's no way that he could know about my secret. My dad told me every member of hi "group" and there was no Edward in it. And also, the way he said it sounded as though he was disgusted by even thinking about him.
I went to my grandpa's house as fast as I could. While I was going there, an idea struck me. What if Edward was my dad's enemy? And if that's true, then Edward isn't human, he's a monster just like my dad. Maybe not just like him, but I know what I have to do. I have to learn everything I can about him. If he is my dad's enemy, than he can surely tell me what happened in Forks.
I opened the front door and barged in. Charlie was in the living room watching a baseball game. I would have to wait until the game was over to ask him about anything.
I decided to try my luck with the computer. And of course, it took 10 minutes just for it to turn on, making me more angry than before. But when it finally did turn on, I went to a search engine and typed in Edward Cullen.
No such luck there.
All it told me was that he is an Honor Student at Forks High School.
But then, if he went to high school now, how would he know my mom from 20 years ago? And, if he was alive back then, then shouldn't he be older than a student in high school? So the internet provided me with some information after all. Edward Cullen is immortal.
I turned off the computer (which was faster than turning it on, for some reason) and headed to the living room to see if the game was over. Apparently, it was because, when I entered the room, Charlie was flipping through the channels.
"Hey, Grandpa," I said as casual as I could. Chances are that he knew about Edward Cullen and wouldn't like it if I brought it up.
"Oh, hey, Gracie," he said in his rough voice, "I didn't hear you come in. So, how'd you like Forks so far?"
"It's fine, I like it here," I said, "But I ran into this guy and was wondering it you know him."
"Probably. I know a lot of people in Forks. I used to be the sheriff, you know," he said. I was thinking that this was turning into a long, boring story, but then, "Why do you want to know about this guy, anyway? Could he possibly be a future boyfriend?"
"No, it nothing like that," I said, "I just thought interesting and wanted to know more about him."
He chuckled. "Oh, okay," he said, not convinced. "Now, what's the boy's name?"
"Um," I hesitated, "Edward Cullen."
His face was in shock for a few seconds and then changed to red fast.
"You stay away from that boy!" he yelled. "Don't talk to him, don't' go near him, don't even think about him!"
I had a feeling he knew about Edward.
"But why?" I asked, "It's not like he's a criminal or -"
"Yes, yes he is!" he interrupted. "He's a dirty, filthy crook!"
I opened my mouth to argue about how someone who's a crook can't be on the Honor Roll, but then closed it because I didn't want to fight with him on my first night here.
"Okay," I gave in to the lie. "I won't talk to him again."
"Good," he said. "Now, um, do you want me to order pizza, or did you already eat?'
"Pizza's fine," I said, realizing how hungry I was. "Call me when it gets here. I'm going up to my room.'
"Yeah, okay," he said, picking up the phone.
I went back onto the computer. While it was starting up again, I realized why my grandpa was so mad when I brought up Edward. He has to be my dad's enemy to make him that angry. But the only question was, what was he?
When the computer turned on, I went to the search engine again and this time I typed in werewolves. I spent fifteen minutes on the computer and all I found was crap about werewolves: changes on a full moon, killed by a silver bullet, all the things my dad told me were myths about him. Then I found this one website called "The History on Werewolves". I clicked on it. At first, it told me about the legends about the first werewolf and the stuff I already knew were myths. But then, it finally talked about their enemies. In the beginning, it said humans were there enemies and how they got revenge by biting them and turning them into werewolves (which is a myth, by the way). But then it said that they have one other enemy. It said, "This enemy can not be bitten and turned, they can not die, and they can kill a werewolf without a silver bullet. The werewolf's mortal enemy is the vampire."
So by the end of my first day in Forks, I learned that the only guy I know is a vampire and my family's mortal enemy.
