Chapter 4 (Bpov)

I landed in the water and was terrified. About three seconds later I felt a pair of strong arms carrying me. I was really tired so I thought it best if I fall asleep. I ended up having a horrible nightmare about my parents again. I again saw the two vampires coming towards them drinking my mothers blood and my fathers blood. Charlie was trying to protect me. "No Charlie! Don't leave me!" I started to cry and with a scream I jolted awake. I woke to see a beautiful creature with tousled bronze hair and golden eyes. "Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Edward Cullen" the beautiful creature replied. That name sounded familiar but why did it sound familiar?

"Do I know you?" I couldn't keep from asking. He seemed wary now.

"We go to the same school" he replied somewhat answering my question. "Are you okay Bella? Jane didn't hurt you did she?" he began to panic. Wait a second he knows Jane! He's a freaking vampire too! Oh come on can I ever get a break?

"Stay away from me!" I yelled at Edward. He looked confused.

"Bella what's wrong?" he asked anxiously.

"You should know you damn vampire!" I cried. I felt tears coming to my eyes as I called him a vampire. I don't want to die like my parents did. It looked so painful!

"You think I'm a vampire?" he acted like he was questioning my sanity but I didn't miss the worried flicker in his eyes.

"I know you are" I replied in a shaky breath.

"How?" he seemed to gradually let his guard down.

"My parents" I couldn't say the rest it brought back bad memories. I wish Jake was here to comfort me. Billy knew what happened because Sam had told him. Suddenly, I saw an understanding in Edward's eyes.

"Bella I'm so sorry you had to see your parents be killed by vampires" he hugged me. I froze at the contact and he pulled away with a sad look in his eyes.

"I'm sorry but I think I should leave" I pulled away politely.

"No, please stay you will be safe with us" he replied.

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll be safe with a vampire to protect me" I snorted.

"We don't drink human blood" he explained. That explains the different eye color. I froze and turned around. I am too curious for my own good.

"Then, how do you live?" I walked back towards Edward.

"We drink animal blood" he answered. I smiled as I understood the safety he could provide me.

"Edward! Can I talk to Bella yet?" I heard an energetic voice ask.

Edward sighed and replied "Yeah, Alice just don't ask her to go shopping yet."

"Hi Bella I'm Alice" the pixie like girl bounced in the room.

"Hi" I greeted. She walked right up to me and hugged me. I heard Edward groan.

"Oh hush Edward" Alice scolded him. "The rest of the family should be home soon" she added. I froze at the word family. I missed my family. I think I should call them to tell them where I am.
