Chapter Eight

A/N; so I kind of made the meadow trail start from outside his house, please don't kill me. It was a lot easier writing this chapter this way. And lots of different POV'S.

When I had took a shower and got ready which thought was quite fast. I was obviously wrong because Edward was already waiting at the front door, he should come with his own safety warning label I laughed I could imagine it now 'Warning; may cause loss of breath and indefinitely lead to heart failure. Should not be shown to under 18's'. I realised that I had been laughing at myself. I looked up and saw that he was smiling, I thought to myself' wondering if he'll still smile like that in a couple of hours when I tell him what a monster I am. Even if he did hate me. I could understand that I didn't mean I had to like it.

"You ready to go I" he asked, but his voice shook a little it must be nerves. Most humans feared us they didn't know why they just did. "Yea, so you gona spill on where your taking me?" I asked hopefully, "Nope it's a surprise. Anyways you'll see in a couple of hours", I thought to myself that a couple of hours meant it would be afternoon. It was supposed to be sunny in the afternoon. "I thought you said we would be there in the morning?" I didn't want my secret to be out in the open, literally. "No it will take us all morning to get there. Unless you're opposed to a little hike?" he asked.

I just shook my head and we began our venture into the woods, into my unknown.

No, it was too early to be awake as far as I knew I had nothing to do today, not school but a may persuade Esme to come shopping with me, or Jasper. It could be like our first indicial date, who would have known that he actually liked me. ME! Plain little Mary-Alice Brandon, though if anyone called me Mary I would effectively chop their fingers off. I despised that name. It was my mom's name, not that I had anything against her just her . . . hobbies. But all that was in my past and I was now happy with my family.

Which brought my back to my original point why was their a constant cool breeze in my room, I must have left the window open, but when I opened my eyes ready to crawl over my bed to close my window I did not expect to see Emmett blowing in my face. "Aaaaaaaaagh" I screamed I didn't know what else to do, this was my first encounter with him since ii found out that they were in fact a 'mythical' being. "What the hell are you doing Emmett it's only" I looked over to my bedside table the little red numbers flashed 9.05, "Way to early to be up in a Saturday".

But as I tried to pull my comforter over my head it was ripped from my hands and effectively my bed also. Once I had finished sleepily patting my way over myself to see if I could find my duvet I gave up and just asked "What, what the hell do you want?" I felt like I was going to cry, it was just too early. "Alice, I know that you know about us and I have to tell Rose and Jasper and I'm gona tell Rose today so I was wondering. . . "He trailed off. "Fine Emmett I'll tell him but please just let me sleep, I'm so tired". I took that as a yes because when I opened my eyes again it was 11.15 and I was ready to wake up.

Okay so it was no biggy I was going to tell rose with the possibility with her rejecting me for life. I wasn't a sleaze, but I had never felt like this because of a girl before, especially one who was so perfect, so I did the rational thing. I bought her a beat up old BMW that hardy runs, to normal girls they wouldn't appreciate it but to Rosalie it was a goldmine. I figure over the past couple of days that she had a passion for cars and all things mechanical.

So I done the logical thing I bought her an old BMW M3, I knew she had the new one so I bought her the stuff so she could fix it up, then I would ease her into telling her what I was, she must have at least have a guess of what we were. She wasn't stupid, but I could only hope. And with Alice on board to tell Jasper this should be a piece of cake.

We had been walking through the thick shrubs for about two hours now and I guessed we were near to wherever we were headed, but about thirty minutes ago I felt watched like we weren't alone. Edward didn't seem to notice anything but I couldn't pass it off as something else. "Bella, you okay?" Edward was shaking my shoulder, "Yea, I just kind of zoned out on you there what's up?" I asked. "We'ere here" he said then pulled me back a stray branch which took us into the most beautiful meadow I had ever seen.

It was small yet surrounded by huge trees, and little lilac and yellow flowers popped out from the usual green scenery, but I stayed in the shadows I had already seen the rays of light from the sun beaming down flooding the meadow with light. Edward was walking towards the middle; he turned as if expecting me to follow. Well it was now or never. He looked over at me just as I was about to walk into the sunlight, maybe that would be a little shocking for him. I didn't want him fainting on me all of a sudden. That would benefit no one.

"Are you gona just stay there or you going to come join me, I want to talk to you about something anyway", I silently begged his conversation to be about me not being a vampire. I had to ask, "Edward what do you know about me?" I shouldn't be so nervous but by the rhythm of his pulse he was uncomfortable too, "Not much just what Alice told me why?" He made to stand up but fell backwards, without thinking I walked out into the middle of the meadow to help Edward, and then his eyes went so wide I thought they were going to pop out.

Crap!

Ok, maybe if I ran away and never came back he wouldn't notice me. Who was I seriously kidding it was obvious his reaction, but I still stood here (in the sun) in the middle of the meadow with my eyes closed. "Bella, umm would you care to elaborate on your"-he waved his arm up and down the ways-"Sparkling?". "Edward, I'm really sorry you had to find out like this, I was going to tell you just, was scared", I trailed off. "Scared of what Bella?", "You judging me, since Alice found out I don't know, she judged saying that I was going to eat her".

His face paled, "Edward I'm not going to eat you". I said simply. "So what are you? it's a little obvious what your not but I still want to know. And I promise I won't judge". He whispered or that's what it felt like, we were standing about two foot away from each other and I could feel his body heat from here. "Edward I'm a, a vampire" I stated. His brow furrowed and his heartbeat quickened. "But you're not going to like drink me or anything are you?" I laughed and he looked at me shocked, "No Edward I'm not, I already told you that".

A small smile passed his lips, "So if I had to do this?" he grabbed my belt loop and pulled me so that our body's were flush with each other, I didn't know were to put my hands so I settled for his shoulders. "You're not affected, at all". Not by his scent but if I had blood pressure it would be through the roof. He wasn't bothered that I was a vampire, at all. And he was comfortable enough that my cold skin wasn't making him cower.

"What if I did this then?" he asked, then his warm lips were on mine, I moved my hands to play with his hair, then he was asking entrance I gladly cooperated, but never thought and I felt his tongue lightly graze over my razor sharp teeth. I threw myself over to the tree behind me and he stood in shock, "Edward Don't does that, ever again! you could have killed yourself", I spat with a little more venom in my voice than intended. "Bella I'm so sorry I never thought, I'm sorry I should have asked". I had to stifle a giggle.

"You thought that's what I was worried about, Edward think about it. I'm a vampire you were touching my teeth, my razor sharp venom coated teeth. If you pushed harder it would have killed you". He just nodded obviously feeling guilty. "Come on we better get back to the house, it's getting late, I'll explain the Do's and Don'ts on the way back", I held out my hand and he gladly took it.

"So does this mean you'll be my girlfriend?" he asked, a blush coating his usually pale cheeks. "Yes Edward I'll gladly be your girlfriend" then he leaned down and kissed the top of my head. All I could do was smile all the way back to the house.

We didn't ask many questions, just the basics, but I still got the feeling we were being watched, I wouldn't let Edward out of my sight if I could, but as we approached the house a very frantic Jasper was running out of Alice's Porsche, but there was no Alice. Since they started dating a couple of days ago they were almost inseparable. When we went in the front door a faint alien vampire smell assaulted my nose. Everyone turned around to face us but Alice was nowhere to be seen. "Esme where's Alice?", Edward asked.

"She's gone Edward, we don't know where she is".
