Edward POV

Ed. POV

As I rounded the corner I saw Bella, right where Alice had seen her.

"Go be her knight in shining armor," she had told me, "Or, more accurately, her knight in a silver Volvo."

I pulled my car up behind Bella's and got out.

"Do you need help, Bella?" I asked. I felt like slapping myself on the face. Of course she needs help! Her car has broken down, you idiot!

"Yeah, I don't know what happened, but my truck broke down or something. There was some smoke coming out of it at first." She shrugged, and then blushed.

I walked to the front of her car and lifted up the hood. I saw, scratched onto the engine, a small inscription. No human would have been able to read, or write, this.

Edward, just tell her. Have faith in your sister, she can see the future after all.

-Alice

P.S. I will fix her truck and drive it home, take your Volvo.

Alice! If Bella weren't standing a few feet away I probably would have growled, loudly.

Maybe Alice was right. Maybe... maybe I should tell Bella what we are. Alice's visions were not always exact though. Was I willing to risk it?

"I'm afraid I can't fix this, but my sister can. If you want, I can drive you home, and then drive her to come fix it.

"Um, ok." She answered before grabbing her keys and handing them to me.

I shut her hood and walked around to the passenger's side of my Volvo. I opened the door for her and she stumbled in, blushing.

As I walked around to the driver's side I was still undecided. I opened the door and sat down in my seat. I turned to Bella, meaning for it to be just a glance, but I was sidetracked, captivated. The cool January air prickled her skin, raising small bumps on her arms. Her brown eyes were unfocused, staring out into the forest beyond her truck. Her full, pink lips were pursed, probably unconsciously, as if they were begging to be kissed.

That was when I caught myself; I want to kiss Isabella Swan? A human? Could Alice be right? I decided to make a list of the things I knew. One, Alice had a vision where Bella loved me. Two, in said vision, Bella was a vampire. Three, in that same vision, told Bella I loved her, and meant it. Four, in a different vision, Alice saw that Bella hadn't been disgusted by the fact that I was a vampire. Five, I haven't felt an attraction like this in all of my life, human, or vampire.

Of course, being a vampire, I had thought all of that in less than a second. That was when Bella turned to look at me. She saw my intense stare and blushed, one of the most beautiful colors in the world. She smiled, and when I returned it, she blushed deeper.

That was when I made up my mind. All I wanted now, what I wanted more than I have ever wanted anything, was to be with Bella, I didn't think much farther than that.

I buckled my seatbelt and turned on the engine. I pulled away doing at least 110 after a few seconds, but slowed down to 95 miles an hour to do a quick U-turn. Next to me, Bella screamed.

"Are you alright?" I asked her protectively.

"Slow down!" she shouted. "Are you trying to kill us?"

"No, sorry." I said, slowing down to 80 miles an hour. "Are you scared of me?" I asked her, impatient for the answer.

She laughed. "You, no. Your driving, yes."

"Do you think I could be scary?" I asked intently.

"I think you could be, if you wanted to be." She answered after a few moments of consideration.

"If I told you something, something I've never told anyone, would you be able to keep it a secret?" I asked.

She didn't answer right away, but waited, staring at the trees out the window. After what seemed like an eternity, she looked back into my eyes, for once no blushing, and nodded.

"First I will explain how I knew where and when to find you." I paused. "I knew because my sister, Alice, is a psychic." I said watching her reaction. Her eyes widened, but she nodded for me to continue. "Also, Jasper, her... boyfriend, can manipulate emotions. I can read peoples minds, everyone's but yours."

Bella's eyes continued to widen, but she didn't ask me to stop so she could get out of the car or tell me I was crazy. She just stared back into my eyes, her face a carefully composed mask.

"Why is that?" she asked after an eternity.

"That is because we are vampires: Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and my parents." I answered quickly, before I could regret my decision.

Bella POV

"That is because we are vampires: Alice Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and my parents." He answered me.

I took a moment to process the information. It didn't sound like he was joking.

"So, how come you can come out during the daytime? What about garlic? Crosses? Does the sun really burn your skin? Do you sleep in a coffin?" I asked eagerly.

He seemed surprised by my response. "They are all myths. I can go out in the sun, just not where anyone can see me." He paused. "You're not disgusted, terrified? I mean, I'm a monster." His golden eyes seemed very confused.

"It doesn't matter to me what you are." I told him truthfully. Cautiously, I lifted my hand and put it on his. His skin was still icy, but I knew why now. He looked back at me, his eyes astonished, as if he knew what was coming, but never expected it would happen.

I looked forward, surprised to see that we were around the corner from my house. After a few more seconds he pulled into my driveway.

He shook his head slowly. "I will be back later with your car. If you still want to talk then, we can. If you don't want anything to do with me, I will understand that, too." He told me.

I gave his frozen hand a light squeeze. "I will want to talk, Edward, don't worry." I started to step ungracefully out of his car. "And I won't tell anyone, I promise."

I walked through the light mist to the porch at the front of my house. When I turned around to shout a "Thank you", he was gone. I unlocked the door and stepped inside, unsure of what to do while I waited for Edward to return.

Alice POV

"I knew it!" I shouted as my vision came true. I could just feel it, like I did with all of my visions.

"You knew what?" Jasper asked beside me.

"I knew that Edward would tell her!" I stated triumphantly.

"Tell her that we're vampires? Is he crazy? How could you allow him to do that when you knew?" He asked, astonished.

"Because I also saw her accepting it, and I saw her as one of us." I told him.

"Oh." He said at the same time as I heard Rosalie yell "WHAT?" from downstairs.

Uh-oh. Edward wasn't going to be very happy with me.

A/N I haven't been getting a lot of reviews :(.
