A/N Ok guys, thanks for the reviews I got for the last chapter. I just have to say that I'm really sorry if the story is in bold and is underlined or is anything but regular font. My computer is really stupid and somehow makes it do that when I upload my story from Microsoft word to my profile on the website. I've tried everything that I can think of to fix it, but nothing works.

Chapter 8

Bella POV:

I was somewhat afraid to go back to the house. Had Edward told his 'brothers' what I thought of him? Did he tell them that we were together at all? Did I pretend like nothing ever happened? Still confused on what to say, I walked back inside the house; curious of what was to come next.

I walked in the door and all eyes turned towards me. Edward wasn't back yet, but Alice was looking at me with a big grin on her face. Had she seen the whole thing? Did she tell the whole family? Oh no, oh no, oh no.

"Are you feeling better, Bella?" Esme asked. I nodded and everyone snapped out of it, finally moving and looking at things other than me.

"Bella, you can use the guest bedroom. Remember, you are welcome to stay as long as you wish. None of us would mind having you join the household." A pleasant smile grew slowly across her face. My nose got a tingly feeling like it always had when I was about to cry as a human, and my knees got weak. I felt myself start to fall to the ground but I was caught by someone. I looked up and found myself looking into Edward's eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked. I looked at the rest of the family who were staring at me with confused faces.

"It's just that I've never met anybody as nice as all of you guys," Edward picked me up and placed me onto the couch before stepping back to join the rest of his family. You barely even know me, and yet you're inviting me to live with you as long as I want to. My own parents weren't even that nice to me.

"You see, before James changed me I had wanted to die. I felt as if there was no reason for me to keep on living; I doubt my dad even shed a real tear of sorrow for me at my funeral. But now, I'm finally happy, and you all had a part of that." I found myself shaking with soft sobs, and two sets of arms grabbed me. I looked up and saw Rosalie and Alice hugging me. Funny thing was that I was touching Alice and nothing had happened, I ignored the thought, not wanting to ruin the moment.

We sat there for a few minutes before I pulled myself together and looked up at Esme. Alice and Rosalie released me and I got up and went to hug Esme too. When we broke apart, Alice grabbed my hand and literally dragged me up the stairs into my new room.

"Do you remember how you were changed into a vampire?" I asked before we walked into the room. She stopped outside the door and looked at me puzzled.

"No, why do you ask?"

"Because when you and I made physical contact for the first time I didn't see a vision of you being changed by Carlisle." I said.

"Well actually, Carlisle didn't change me. Jasper and I were the latest edition to the family. I don't remember my human life either, but Jasper remembers his past."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"I'm not. I mean I kind of wish I remembered who I was in my human life, but now I'm happy with Jasper and the rest of my family, so it doesn't really bother me anymore." She opened the door and I was shocked. I felt my mouth drop open as I looked in. The room was literally twice the size of my old bedroom. It had a queen size bed with a brown and green bedspread, a desk with a laptop in the opposite corner, and in between those was a huge bathroom with a closet, too. The walls were a mint green and brown, it was absolutely perfect. The bed also had a canopy with silk green and brown cloths hanging from it.

"May I ask who the designer of this room is?" I asked still in shock.

"Oh, Esme and I did this for fun one day. In case we ever had a long term guest come and stay with us, like you. But I hope you aren't a guest for very long." I smiled and jumped on my bed. Too bad I didn't have to sleep anymore because it would have been nice to have this bed in my human life. I motioned to the door and Alice shut it.

"You guys are all so nice, and happy with each other. I just hope I find my soul mate or someone who loves me as much as Jasper loves you now that I'm…different." I said trying to think of the right words.

"Oh, I think you will…very soon." She smiled shyly and got up to pull me off my bed. She suddenly stopped before she was touching me and her eyes glazed over. What was happening?

"Jasper!" I yelled, not knowing what was going on. He was in the room in a second and then suddenly relaxed.

"Don't worry; she's just having a vision." A couple minutes later she returned to normal and smiled.

"What was it? What did you see?" Jasper asked.

"Oh… the weather is going to be good next week. That reminds me! What are we going to do about her? There will be lots of questions." Alice replied.

"For what?" I asked.

"Well to maintain a 'normal' lifestyle we attend high school for a few years until we move to a different town."

"Why can't you just say that I'm adopted?" I asked.

"Well 'cause the rest of us are all adopted too. You could stay with Esme until your more experienced in resisting human scent."

"Oh, yeah. That would be smart. The last time I was in public with a lot of people…I can't deal with that everyday yet." I replied shaking my head when the memory flashed back into my mind.

"Are you alright?" Alice asked.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about that night."

"Oh, well I'll leave you alone for a little bit. Jasper and I are going to go on a hunt. We'll be back in a couple hours." She smiled at me while Jasper grabbed her hand and they were out the door in a couple seconds.

I looked around my room and noticed some other things on the same wall as the door. I had a book case from the ceiling to the floor filled with books, except the middle shelf was full of cds. Next to the book shelf was a little night stand with a stereo on it. I scanned over the cds and found Debussy with Clair de Lune. I popped it into the stereo while I looked over the books. I smiled when my eyes found Wuthering Heights. I took the book off the shelf and set on the night stand and pushed the play button on my stereo. The beginning of Clair de Lune started and I went and laid on my bed listening to it. I heard my door open when the second song was half way through.

"Nice choice, Debussy is my personal favorite. I thought you might like it." I heard a velvet voice say. I sat up in my bed and smiled at him.

"So you helped make this room too?" I asked.

"A little, I got asked to pick out all of the books and cds for the room. I guess Esme and Alice really wanted to make our guest happy." Edward walked over to my bed and took my hand and pulled me up off the bed.

"What are you doing? I hope you know that I can't dance… at all."

"Maybe as a human." He lifted his hand up and I twirled. He was right, as a human I had no dancing abilities at all, but it was a different story as a vampire. It was as if I had an instinct for dancing too. He made my body twirl once more, except this time it was like I was a tornado moving on to a different section of a city. Before I knew it, I was being pulled back to him, and I ended up with my face mere inches from his when the song ended. His lips moved toward mine a little bit and I pulled away, avoiding a disaster waiting to happen. I had experience with kissing a guy you just met, it never turned out good.

"Umm, thank you?" I said after he dropped his hands. I could tell he had disappointment in his eyes, but I didn't want to ruin what we had.

"Your welcome, just remember that a lot of things are different as a vampire, even your dancing skills." He smiled a fake smile and turned to walk out again.

"Wait," I called out quickly, "Do you wanna go on a hunt? I haven't fed in a while and I bet you'll know where more things other than deer will be more than I will." He smiled again, and this one didn't look forced.

"Sure." He motioned for me to go first, and I ran downstairs. He was right on my heels. "Esme, we're going to go for a hunt. I'll show her how we hunt." He told her. Esme smiled and nodded her head. Edward out the door and I followed suit. We ran for what seemed like forever until he finally stopped.

"My family and I are different from others, we don't kill humans. We call ourselves vegetarians because we only drink animal blood." He turned around to face me.

"I know, and I'm willing to change to that. On the way to Forks from where James and I were, I only drank animal blood. A friend of mine told me about your nature and how you lived and I was willing to change my diet for the better."

"Bella…people who never know you…they're missing out." I couldn't help myself; I walked over to him and hugged him. It took him a second to figure out what I was doing before he hugged me back.

"Edward Cullen, you owe me." I said as I pulled away.

"I do?"

"Yes, you never let me see what you were really thinking." He took a step back from me and a look of confusion crossed his eyes.

"Why do want to know at this second?" He asked.

"You read my thoughts, but you wouldn't let me read yours because you were making your mind concentrate on saying the ABCs."

"What if I don't want you to know what I'm thinking?"

"Well by the end of this week, I'm going to read your real thoughts. Whether you want it or not." I smiled my evil smile and then took off running to where I could smell a scent. I couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, but it smelt very good. Way better than the bears' scent, it almost smelt like a…human. I stopped running immediately, and tried to grip onto a tree. I ended up ripping it out of the ground, I threw it away from me, and suddenly I was being held tightly. I realized it was Edward a second later and buried my face in his chest; trying to forget the human scent was around me. His scent was strong, but not strong enough. I was still at a big war with my inner instincts. I felt Edward grip my body tighter, and my feet were lighted off the ground and we were moving away from the scent making it more distant until I finally couldn't smell it anymore. Edward set me on the ground again and I started sobbing tearlessly into his chest.

"Do you want to sit down?" He asked me and I simply nodded. Edward slowly lowered us onto the ground and I kept sobbing into his chest for what seemed like an hour. When I finally calmed down a bit, I just laid my head on his chest. We were both lying on the ground, and started stroking my hair on the side of my head. After lying like that for a while, I finally said something.

"Thank you." I whispered. He grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it.

"Your welcome. I would have wanted some one to stop me too. At least you realized what you were doing before you did it. That's the first step to changing." I smiled and turned so that I was facing him.

"Can I read your mind now?" I asked.

"Why must you be so persistent?"

"Fine, but I will get you to let me."

"I know you will." I smiled and sat up.

"I think we should get going. Thank you again for being patient with me, I just couldn't imagine killing another innocent person." He sat up too and nodded in understanding.

"I'd do it any time, it's not like I need to do anything anyways. Do you want to go hunt some deer closer to the house? I know a place where there won't be any humans." I nodded and we both got up to leave.
