Hi guys, thank you all for following me up to this point. I'm halfway through chapter 17, but with the new school year I may post a little later than usual.
Shout out goes to my beta who has changed her username again so I can't name names. She was I love Edward and Toast, so thank you!
"Isabella where are my car keys?" Rosalie shouted from her bathroom.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?" I roared back infuriated.
It has been a two nights, and it was no surprise that Rosalie and I were on the verge of ripping each other's hair out.
Neither of us had gone to school the day before, we had hid at home, and personally I was thrilled. I didn't have to wear the fluro green jumpsuit.
"You're a pain, you know? I'm going hunting!" She yelled and stormed out, shaking the floor in her rage.
"And don't come back!" I screamed back as she slammed the front door.
I smiled to myself as I thought of all the hard work she was going through just to have breakfast, while my supply was stocked fresh in the fridge.
The thought of food made my stomach grumble so I headed downstairs for my breakfast.
The house was silent now that Rosalie had left, so I could hear every creak and noise the old house made, crystal clear.
I could hear the staircase creak as my weight shifted down each stair.
Since I was home alone, I grinned and swung myself over the banister, sliding all the way down.
Being the klutz I am, I did not stick the landing and fell flat on my bum.
I laughed it off and jumped to my feet.
And then I heard it.
The glass window from the kitchen shattered, so I quickly sprinted into the room.
A dark figure loomed ahead of me.
"Edward?" I called softly, hopefully.
"Not exactly. Besides, I thought he left you." A deep voice chuckled from the shadows as he walked further into the light.
"David," I breathed.
"Forget about me?" He asked calmly.
"You must have so many questions... I'm so sorry; I don't know where to start!" I said quickly and panicked.
"No need. I know everything; I'm a vampire thanks to you." He said, his calm tone becoming louder in anger.
"I don't understand." I stammered.
He looked so different.
His dark hair was lightened with golden highlights, his bone structure had rearranged, cheekbones higher, jaw stronger.
The smallest of scars he'd had had disappeared and his skin had lost his deep tan.
"Well then, I guess I should do the explaining. Sit Bella." He gestured into the sitting room, and I took a seat.
"When I fell ill during the first stages of the change, my mother made a frantic call to our doctor who happened to be vacationing in Hawaii at the time. He was kind enough to end his trip early and was back in Forks immediately. Bella, my doctor is your father-in-law." He smiled.
"Carlisle. He's back? Where is he? And he told you everything?" I said amazed.
"His whereabouts isn't important. And yes he told me everything." He confirmed smiling.
"How much does everything cover?" I queried.
"From when you met Edward, your wedding, your daughter, your feuds, your other family members. Coach Samuels is your brother 'ey? Guess that's an easy A for you. And Principal Hale, not the best idea to get in her bad books." He raised an eyebrow satisfied.
"I guess I learned that the hard way then." I said sarcastically.
He merely smirked.
"Bella, I don't want to be a vampire. I want to be captain of the soccer team. But now..." He trailed off with a sad expression.
"David, you can't know how much I regret turning you. I just lost control and ..." He cut me off heatedly.
"As Dr. Cullen put it, new born vampires are stronger than others as they still have human blood running through their veins. I want you to reverse this now. I don't want to be a blood sucking leech!" His voice was growing louder. "I'm a freaking vegetarian!"
"I can't!" I exclaimed but this wasn't a good enough response as he slammed his fist down on the coffee table, smashing it in half.
"Well find a way!" He roared.
"There is no way! I've been around sixty years! Not once have I found a way to reverse this!" I cried as he advanced in on me, menacingly.
"Then I guess I'll just have to take my anger out on you." He snarled.
"No! You can't! If you kill me..." I paused to find a reasonable excuse. "Then Dr. Cullen will ensure he'll never help you again. Nor will the rest of my family!"
"What they don't know can't hurt them." He smiled and stepped closer to me.
"You're not a killer." I said softly and he stopped in his tracks. "Carlisle gave you blood bags from the hospital to live off. If you're a vegetarian as you say you are, you couldn't end the life of an animal let alone a human, or vampire in this case. You're just bluffing." I smiled triumphantly.
His eyes narrowed and pounced, surprising me so I was unprepared.
He pinned me to the ground, pushing me hard and snarled in my face. He was right, he was stronger, and no matter how much I struggled he was stronger.
"Okay! Okay! Let's make a compromise!" I suggested desperately.
"What sort?" He loosened his grip slightly.
"You won't ever have to kill an animal; I'll make sure Carlisle can provide you with blood bags! And being a vampire has its advantages! I swear!" I yelped.
"What sort of advantages?" He asked warily.
"Let me go." I reasoned.
He did and I stood up and straightened myself.
I observed the clothes he was wearing, old training shorts and a loose grey T-shirt.
"You're roughly the same size as Emmett." I said, noticing how his muscles had enlarged with the change. "Follow me." I smiled and led him up to Emmett's room.

"I am not wearing that." David said begrudgingly.
"Yes you are. Trust me." I smiled.
"That's something my grandfather would wear!" He protested.
"Think of it as vintage." I smiled, and then realized I how much I sounded like Alice. Then I frowned. "We're going to be late if you don't hurry up!"
When David simply stared at me, with his arms crossed over his chest, I sighed and forced his T-shirt over his head to which he fussed and protested over.
"Okay, okay! I'll get dressed myself! Get out!" He fussed.
"Good." I smiled, left the room and closed the door behind me.
I could hear the rustle of David getting dressed inside Emmett's room, I could also hear the slam of the front door as Rosalie muttered to herself and ran up the stairs.
She stood in front of me within milliseconds.
"Bella, look I've been thinking..." She paused and glanced over me. "What happened? You look a mess? You look like you've been rolling around on the ground. Why have you been in Emmett's room? What's that noise?" She said warily as she picked up the sound of David getting dressed.
"Who's in there?" She asked, and I opened my mouth to explain, but she pushed me aside and threw open Emmett's door, to reveal a half naked David.
"Mrs. Hale!" David's voice broke, he was in the middle of putting a leg in the pair of trousers I'd picked out for him and fell over in shock.
I was in trouble now.
Next chapter I plan to make it a little lighter and romantic, but I won't tell you who for, hehehe.
So as a mercy gift from you all, I'd appreciate a review to help me into the foreign and scary world of Year 11 (I think that makes me a Junior in American terminology, correct me if I'm wrong)
