How the hell did she find out?! Someone said I don't update as much, but since I'm feeling generous, I'll add this one. But it will be short, I promise you.
I will be strong
I will be faithful
Because I am counting on a new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning yeah
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
That'll make you wanna cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection
Of the highest power and lonely hours
The tears devour you
Truly Madly Deeply, by Cascada
Chapter 11
"What the hell happened to your perky attitude?" I snapped, I am not taking crap from this bastard. "And I don't know anything about what your talking about" I added coolly.
"Don't play dumb with me!" She growled. "I heard you and aunt Alice talking in the bathroom"
"Why you little pest, hasn't your parents ever taught you not to eavesdrop!" I scolded bitterly. Taking a step towards her, I resisted to kick her ass right there.
"Oh please! YOUR just jealous that Edward and Bella love me more than you!" She mused. I slightly winced from her comment.
"I don't care anymore! They can do whatever they want! They kicked me out of their low lives 16 years ago!" I yelled harshly.
She narrowed her eyes at me, "Whatever, but I know you've been hiding from them. Your just a coward!" She hissed. Her words stung like venom.
"And your just a bastard who needs a life!" I retorted.
"So what?! I could easily go into the house and tell Edward and Bella your true identity" She threatened.
I glowered at her, "Do you realise what I can do to you?" I said in a grim voice.
"Oh please!" She breathed out, holding her hand out.
In a flash I had her collar in my grip and she was in the air, flailing her legs. "What's your problem? You got a lot of nerve to threaten a vampire" I said softly, but my voice was deadly.
"Y-your one of them?!" She muttered, I noticed a bit of fear in her voice.
"Oh, hell yes.." I muttered, smirking.
"But you don't look anything like one!" She retorted, trying to wriggle out, but she was no match.
"Oh really? Do you remeber the girl you met at the pharmacy?" I questioned, cocking my head to the side.
"What the crap? That was you?!" She coughed. I nodded.
"So what?! Once you let me go, I can still tell on you!" She said, stopping her useless wrestling. She was right.
"Unless..." She started, an evil smirk settled on her face. I was afraid of what might come out. "You do everything I say, then I won't tell" She bargained.
"HHHHEEELLL NO" I denied, but defeat was in my voice.
"Alright... Oh Daaaddddy!" She called teasingly.
"Okay fine!" I gave up, dropping her like a stone. "Now get out of my sight bastard, before I kick your sorry ass" I hissed. Whatever she did, I was not going to lose my dignity.
She rolled her eyes, "Whatever, your MY slave now" She said, getting up and stalked into the house. I followed her figure to the front door and saw Edward standing there. His topaz eyes narrowed at me.
"What the hell..?" I whispered. Never considering that he might of heard the whole thing.
I strolled passed him, not taking a single glance. He stiffned when I passed him, weirdo. I entered the house and saw everyone gathered around the table. I restrained from laughing at the thought of having the Cullens to eat human food.
"This should be good" I mumbled, taking a seat beside Alice.
"Hey Charlotte!" She chirped. Pecking me on the cheek when I sat down.
"Hi Alice!" I said cheerfully. There was an empty seat next to me, but unfortunately Edward took it.
Don't let him read your minds I thought to Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet.
Dinner proceeded and I got a kick out of Emmet staring at the food presented to him. He poked his peas, "What the hell is this?" He mumbled.
All the Cullens had to eat it, and I had to excuse myself once. Since I would have fell out of my chair from laughing. Everyone had to eat the human food! EVERYONE!
After dinner we all chatted a bit. They asked me about my dogs and other general things.
"So Charlotte dear, are you really adopted?" Esme asked, placing a hand on my lap gently.
"Yea, my parents gave me away, since I was too unusual" I said, flashing a sarcastic grin at Bella. She raised an eyebrow at me.
"They gave you away because you were unusual? How horrible!" Esme exclaimed, "You must have been through a lot" She cooed.
"Naw, I don't really care it was only 16 years ago" I shrugged, Kailey smiled at me reassuringly.
"So you were only 8?" Carlisle inquired, looking stunned. Edward stared at me intently the whole entire time.
"Sure?" I said uncertainly. I glanced at my phone and saw it was 11 p.m. already. "Um... I have to get home, I need to see if my dogs are alright.." I said, looking at Kailey for help.
"Oh yes!" She said, rising up from her chair.
"Edward, would you mind taking them home?" Esme asked, smiling at him.
"It will be my pleasure" He said, sending a type of smirk my way. Freak..
They ushered us out and we all climbed into the yellow car. Edward and Kailey sat in front and I sat in the back. Once again he drove at an average speed, and I watched out the window.
I would sometimes catch him look my way from the rearview mirror. It really disturbed me.
Then finally we got home and Kailey and I got out, including him. "Thanks for taking us home!" Kailey said, giving him a hug.
"No, thank you for having dinner with us" He grinned. Kailey smiled and walked to the house.
"Yea thanks.." I mumbled, following Kailey. Something cold grabbed my wrist and I turned around. It was Edward.
"We need to talk" He said softly, looking down at my locket. Oh crap!
