A/N: I don't own Twilight and yada yada yada, ya'll know the drill. Thanks so much for reviews! And as for which way this story is going? I myself don't have a clue for I have to change so much for what was already written. But! I'm getting idea's. Beware. Anyhoo, Onward my lovelies! Sorry, that was weird wasn't it?
Chapter 6- *Questions- Bella's P.O.V.*
I heard Draculas footsteps of his shoes against the rocky pavement and onto the front porch. I trembled a little. Would he really have killed Charlie? I shook my head glaring at the coffee table in front of me. It was just stupid Edward and his stupid thought process. How dare he accuse my guardian of such a thing! I wiped off my frown as soon as Dracula walked through the door with a smile on his face. I smiled feeling better just seeing his face and raised my eyebrows at his happy behavior. "What's gotten you so excited?" I asked teasing.
He chuckled, "I have a... What you young kids call, a date." Dracula took off his jacket and placed it on the rack and stood there looking like a handsome eccentric artist in his black turtle neck that hugged him just right to show he wasn't buff, but not scrawny. Just right. Black jeans and dress shoes. Quite the all-black wardrobe, but he said any other color looked too flashy on him. I wish I could have seen him in the 60's and 70's. I mused. "I'd better change into something else." He seemed to think about what other black thing he had in his possession.
"Aww~ Does Daddy Drackie have a wittle girlfriend?" I laughed at his face for he always never liked his nick name.
He smirked, "Brat, I could still kill you, you know that right?" He had a teasing lilt in voice that said he wasn't serious, but if tempted... I toned it down to just snickering. He changed the subject then. "So, did you find out anything about your new friends?"
I stopped getting serious as well, "The Cullens? Yes, I did. They are in fact different vampires than we are..." He nodded his head for me to continue. "Their hearts don't work, like at all. They, as in the Cullens, drink animal blood, though Edward Cullen said that normally their kind drink human blood as well. Plus, they're pretty friendly..."
Dracula's eyebrows arched in surprise, "You spoke to them?" I couldn't tell whether he approved or not, but I nodded.
"They were curious about me too. Don't worry I didn't tell them about you." Of course, I told one. So, I technically told the truth.
"Do you know anything else?" Calmly, walking toward the staircase.
"Not of anything important." Answering honestly with Dracula was always the best option. Speaking of honesty I went back to the lighter subject. "So, who is your date for the evening?"
The mans brown eyes grew warm. "Vera Harmon, the young lady who works with me."
"Oh..." Was my genius reply. I knew Vera, she was a really good friend of ours. This was certainly an interesting development. I'd never thought Dracula and Vera would go at it. I saw Dracula look at his watch, before sighing and heading to his bedroom to get changed and ready for her. Five minutes he's down stairs already showered, hair dry, and different clothes. (A black tux, big surprise.) I grinned. "Hope you have Fun." Emphasizing the word to have him know what I meant. I saw a different shade grow across his cheeks. That did it... "GyaHAHAHAHA.~!"
He glared then, "Act mature, Bella." Scolding me like a child.
"Sorry." I continued to laugh under my breath, "Seeing the oldest Vampire in history blush. I'm on a role!"
"Bella..."
I surrendered, "Sure, sure." He sighed and was headed out the door just to rid himself of my prescence. Gotta say, I'm good at annoying him and keeping my head. I smiled fondly at the sight of the car driving away. I got up to my room and got my boots back on. Headed back down to the back door, where outside was Edwards scent... It wasn't a bad smell or anything. It was kind of the smell of... when the weathers about to turn cold, so frost? It was pleasant reminding me of snowflakes. That's Edwards new nick name name! Ha! So original! Beat that! Snowflake... Here I come! I raced into the woods following wherever the scent will lead.
*E.P.O.V.*
I ran as fast as I could to my house. Three story, white building with one whole wall made of glass facing the East, and it's where my family was waiting. I felt nervous for Bella. I admit she has lived just fine, but I didn't know Dracula. And still in disbelief of someone who was supposed to be in fictional tales of vampire folklore. My head felt like it was spinning as I walked through the door and ran straight into Alice.
"So! What's the big scoop?" Her gold eyes sparkled like butterscotch candy.
I sighed and patted her head like she were an impatient child, "Patience. I have to get my thoughts straight before I tell you guys. Bella specificially didn't tell me NOT to tell you guys about certain parts, but..." I muttered the last part. She pouted, but accepted without further ado we went to the living room to discuss things with the rest of the family.
Carlisle was surprisingly there for he was usually always at the hospital where it was like his second home. Carlisle was over 500 years old. When he was human he was a son of a Priest. One night he was changed by a vampire hunt during a witch hunt. A vampire of our kind bit him and made a break for it. Never appeared before him again. Our change takes a very painful three days of hell to complete. His beliefs passed down from his father about not taking human life was a Gift to Carlisle. He practiced medicine in hospitals to overcome his pain and hunger for human blood. Carlisle was the beginning of animal diet, so we wouldn't have to be monsters. He stood there with a gentle smile, blonde hair slick back, and his white labcoat with his I.D. Esme his wife stood next to him greeting me with a bright smile. "Welcome home son." Her burgandy hair flowed around her heart shaped face. Her eyes dark from not having fed in a while, but held only gentle affection.
I smiled back unable to not feel good at the nice gesture. "Hey mom." She wasn't my real mother, but she was as warm and loving. Esme's gift seemed to be keeping this family in order and together. Keeping Carlisle happy and not so lonesome as well. She met Carlisle soon after he turned me. She was younger than me in human years, but her age was older when she turned. So, I respected her as my elder. Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice sat patiently on the couch.
Carlisle spoke first, "Hello Edward. I heard that someone has caught your fancy?" If I could have blushed I probably would have then. I heard his thoughts finished the phrase, 'And that she is a different species of vampire?' He was only curious for he was a kind spirit. Not like those doctors who see something new and want to disect it. I thought about the fastest way to explain Bella's story.
"Yes, she is a different kind of vampire. I've seen her strength the other night and how she drank from a blood bag earlier." Carlisle arched his brow at that wondering if there was any missing blood bags most likely. "The one she said that created her is... Dracula."
Esme's eyes widened, "But, Edward how can that be? Can you be sure?"
Emmetts eyes glinted with glee, "Hey if he's evil all we have to do is stake him." Bless him for his lack of the feel for the situation.
I glared, "No Emmett. There will be no staking." 'At least not yet.' I didn't like the stories of the monster Dracula as a human and I felt he wasn't good... Especially, around Bella. "She's shown me that what she said was true by letting me read her thoughts. I believe her and I'm concerned." My concern seemed to go away with a calm wave. My thoughts grew more organized as well. I silently thanked Jasper who smirked in full knowing. I moved to sit in the black leather chair feeling unnaturally exausted. Dealing with new information overload and my feelings for Bella. I wanted to protect her. And I even told her she was my life in the heat of the moment earlier today. She confessed to loving me, but I couldn't be sure if she was telling the truth or just wanting to be close to me for whatever reason. I've felt all these new things like a huge typhoon since Bella arrived in town...
Esme came by my side placing her hand on mine smiling with understanding. "You're in love with this girl aren't you?" 'I'm Happy for you dear.'
Emmett (Again bless him) thought no doubt not wanting Rosalie to hit him for his stupidity. 'Edward and Bella sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.~' I chuckled at that. He was a good brother and always there to give the family a good laugh when we need it. Rosalie suddenly stood from her spot and sniffed the air. Alice went to stand next to her and explained, "Bella's coming this way." She grinned in excitement.
Jasper gave me a suspicious smile, "Excellent." He's been watching too much of The Simpsons I arched an eyebrow at him. His expression turned innocent. Emmett laughed as I got up from my spot to greet her at the door when she arrived. One minute later I saw her running to a slow before she skidded like she was on a skateboard. Her dark brown hair wooshed around her face concealing her glare at me. I tilted my head in confusion.
"You okay Bella?"
"Do..." She growled. "You know how far you live from town! It took forever to get here even with my legs!" She continued to compain to me opening up her thoughts. 'Sure my place is a little far from people, but this is ridiculous!'
I laughed loving how she could yell at me, when my own family has never raised their voice at me.
She placed her hands on her hips. "It's not funny Edward." Pouting. It made me laugh even harder causing my stomach to hurt for the first time in forever. I stopped after a minute still grinning.
"Okay. I'll show you inside." Gesturing her toward the entrance. I wasn't expecting what she did next. She punched me in the gut... And let me tell you, she has an excellent right. If Emmett was a 10 in strength, I'd give her a 20.
A/N: Thanks for reading! The last part was an idea from a friend. LOL Hope you enjoyed it! Please let me know your thoughts by reviewing and I'll get back to you.
