A/N I loved the review guys! Keep them coming. I have been coming up with some other ideas for stories, but I would like to talk to someone about it, and I haven't been able to talk to my friend Emily (the one who came up with this story with me) much over spring break. So if anyone wants to talk or whatever, tell me. I would love to throw out some ideas on IM. So hit me up! Thanks.

Oh yeah, these characters are taking me places I wasn't expecting to go with this story. So be patient if it goes a little weary this chapter with the big reveal. Some of the reactions are going to be hilarious. Sorry that the P.O.V.'s change a lot in this chapter. I can't just have one persons P.O.V. about the whole thing. So here we go!

Revelations

Edward P.O.V.

Tomorrow, my whole family was going over to the Swan's for the day. Bella informed me on this during lunch yesterday. Apparently, father dearest has been sneaking off with Bella's mother and they have become quite fond of each other. Whatever makes Carlisle happy I guess. These past two weeks, Carlisle has been glowing and smiling more than usual. I didn't know what it was until Bella had told me this. I could tell the difference with Rose and Jazz too. I'm guessing I looked the same as the others. We all fell for the Swan's. I just hoped they all felt the same about us.

I noticed that Bella had been antsy since she told me about our plans Saturday. Alice and Emmett were the same, they seemed very nervous. I started to think I was finally going to start getting answers. Bella kept the conversations about me most of the time. When I did manage to get in a question or two, she would sidestep it with a question of her own. She found a lot out about me. Like I liked the classics and I played the piano. We found a common interest in composers. I found out that she was a fan of Debussy. We both agreed Clair De Lune was our favorite. I did manage to find out that she was a huge fan of Jane Austen. This surprised me a bit. We discussed likes and dislikes of things like music, movies, and books. Bella asked me what my favorite gemstone was and topaz blurted out of my mouth before I could think. She made the sweetest sound I think I ever heard when she giggled. Bella must have known I was talking about her eyes. I asked her what her favorite gemstone was and she confessed that it was emeralds. I blushed when I realized my eyes were like emeralds; she had made that comment yesterday during Biology while we were having one of our staring contests. She somehow always won though; which I didn't mind.

I was sitting in my bed, reliving our past conversations, when there was a slight knock on the door. Jazz peeked his head through the door. "Hey Ed, you got a sec?"

"Sure," I sat up on the bed. Happy Together by Simple Plan was playing in the background (Sorry that is what I am listening to right now) and I got up to change it to Me, You, and My Medication by Boys Like Girls. This seemed to fit my mood more. Jasper chuckled at my song choice.

"I have something cheesy to spill," Jasper blushed.

"Dude, you know you can tell me anything without worrying about me making fun of you. I would never do that to you. Jazz, you have my full attention." I said honestly.

"Okay, well, I don't know what it is, but I think I might be falling fast and hard in love with Alice. Every time we are together, it feels just right, like that is how I am supposed to spend my life. We just fit together like a puzzle. We are each other's opposites. She is spunky and I'm quiet. Alice is random and I get straight to the point. She likes to be the center of attention and I'm shy. I don't know what I am going to do. I feel so comfortable with her but I feel like I'm losing it at the same time. I feel like I have lost all control over myself. Like my whole world revolves around her, my sun," Jasper gushed to me.

"Wow Jasper that was deep man. I know how you feel though. I haven't known Bella that long, but I know I want to protect her from anything or anyone who would ever hurt her. I was to keep her smiling for the rest of her life. I want to hear her laughs all day. I feel like I could talk to her for hours about nothing and never get bored. I could gaze into her eyes for the rest of eternity and never feel the need to look away. I feel so connected to her that if something were to happen to her, it would have the same reaction to me. I don't know what to do either because I feel as if I have lost all since of control over myself, too." I stopped; I had no idea I had this much built up inside of me. I didn't realize any of this until Jasper had spoken.

I heard someone at the door sniffle. I looked up to see Rosalie fighting to keep back the tears that were threatening to spill over the rims of her eyes. A tear of betrayal slid down her face to her chin and fell to the floor in slow motion. "Aw guys, I never knew you two were so romantic." Rosalie flew into the room and jumped into my lap and pulled Jasper with her into a huge hug. "I love you guys so much. Just don't kick Emmett's ass for stilling my heart. Okay? Everyone clear on that?" Rosalie asked, suddenly serious before a huge smile plastered across her face. We both agreed and laughed at Rose for crying. She was never one to show her true feelings. We felt like we just got a small glimpse of her sensitive girly side.

"Who would have thought we all fell in love with the same family?" Carlisle asked from the door. He must have been listening down the hall to our sappy love revelations. We all laughed once but fell into a serious silence. But it wasn't awkward, just thoughtful. We all sighed at the same time, which sent us into a fit of laughs. Rosalie somehow managed to fall off our laps and onto the floor where she erupted into a fit of giggles. Us guys started to laugh at her, shaking our heads to stop the tears from streaming down our face from laughing so hard.

That night I dreamt of Bella, again.

Bella P.O.V.

I told myself I was just here to check on him. I wasn't stalking him at all. I had been bored, so I ran to the Cullen's house. This wasn't the first time I went over there at night. I had gone every night since last Saturday when Edward had gone to First Beach. I was curious to see if he made it home okay. I had snuck into his room when his breathing evened out. I looked at his peaceful form lying there. I was about to leave when I heard him whisper my name. I thought he had seen me, but when I looked at him, his eyes were closed and his breathing was even. Edward was sleep talking. He was dreaming about me. I knew if I could dream it would be about him. Then he began to sweat profusely and whimpered. Good, he should be having a nightmare about me. I snuck out of the window when he started to stir. I flew down the drive way and back home. I was disappointed in myself for being so foolish to think we had a shot at this. I knew it would get him killed or turn out like us. But I couldn't stay away. That's why I came back every night, to see if he still had nightmares about me. But he didn't, he would just whisper my name over and over again. Tonight was no different. I sat in my usual place in the computer chair. Tonight he was clad in a pair of boxers and that was it. This past week he had went to bed twice with only boxers on. And those two nights, I had barely been able to control myself from crawling in the bed with him. Tonight he said my name over and over again. Once he even said "Come back Bella." I had to clutch the chair to keep me from jumping under the covers with him. One of Edward's arms was slung off the side of the bed and one of his legs was uncovered by the blanket when he kicked. I felt my breath intake when I saw his back slightly uncovered. The muscles were even more defined there. His hair was in disarray fluffs of bronze I just wanted to run my fingers through. Edward mumbled, "Bella, please don't. I love you." My breath caught; maybe I hadn't heard him right. I knew I didn't. Even with my vampire super hearing. He was just dreaming, he didn't mean it. I knew I loved him, but he couldn't love me. My dead heart fluttered at the thought that he was. Half of me wanted him to and the other half did not.

My family and I had talked about the consequences of a human knowing out secret. The Volturi simply forbid it. That was our one law. But we knew we couldn't keep it much longer from them. We all knew we could trust the Cullen's with our dead hearts and lives. Alice and I already knew the outcome anyways. They wouldn't be human much longer. I was still torn on that. What if Edward wouldn't want to be like me, a monster? What if he did, but lost interest in me when he was able to see me for me with clear, vampire eyes? What if he found me ugly and moved on to a better mate? I knew I was pretty to humans, but standing besides vampires, I was simply average. I was nothing special compared to them. Even Rosalie, a mere human, took a few blows to my ego when she walked by me with such grace. One would think she was a vampire if it wasn't for her tanned skin and the blood coursing through her veins. Edward was a god as a human; women swooned when he gracefully walked past. I started to wonder what he would look like as a vampire. His muscles would be even more defined, his hair more vibrant from the venom that would set fire to the dead cells during the change. I remembered my hair was a simple brown while human, but the transformation had brought out red and light brown undertones to it. Esme and Alice experienced the same. Emmett's hair went darker. Edward's skin will become even paler than it was, almost transparent because of the lack of blood in our body. His bone structure would become more defined, and his eyes would be crimson for a while until they dulled to butterscotch from our diet. I began to think about what his newborn years would be like, and I cringed at the thought. I noticed it was getting close to when I should be leaving, so I slipped out the window to head home and get ready for today. It was going to be a very long day indeed.

Rosalie P.O.V.

I got up in the morning and started to get ready. I decided on a white lace tank by Oscar de la Renta with a red H&M jacket (A/N everyone's out fits will be on my profile). I picked out a pair of dark wash skinny jeans from topshop and a pair of red stilettos, my partner in crime. My hair was pulled back halfway and the rest fell in waves past my shoulders. I put on red lipstick, eyeliner, mascara; the usual and headed down the stairs. Carlisle was waiting in a white button down with jeans on the couch. I saw Edward sitting in front of his piano in a blue shirt with a grey jacket and jeans. I heard Jasper in the kitchen and he walked out with a sandwich in a tan shirt and a black jacket with jeans. We all hopped into Carlisle's Mercedes and headed out around 11. We pulled up to a large cabin styled house. Most of the house was windows, giving it a modern look. I instantly loved it. Their house was nestled out of town on a long gravel road leading only to the Swan residence. I noticed the other three wore the same shocked expression as I by the house. We gathered ourselves and walked to the door. Carlisle knocked and a stunning woman who didn't look an age over 30 opened the door. She looked a lot like Bella with cascading waves of brown hair; her eyes and skin were the same as her son and daughters. There was no way Bella was her kid. Emmett had told me that Alice was Bella's cousin. Esme, their mother, had adopted her when Alice's mother died giving birth and her father died two weeks later of a heart attack. Emmett said that he was their next door neighbor while they lived in Maine, until his single working mom died in a car accident, like my mother. Esme adopted him since he had no family left except the Swan's. They've been a loving family together since.

Esme smiled and welcomed us inside. Emmett, Alice, and Bella were in the living room playing Rockband on the Wii. They turned and said a simple "Hey," and went back to the song they were on. Emmett was on the drums, Alice was playing base, and Bella was on the guitar. When the song finished, they had a high score for Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects (A/N that song is the only one I could remember being on Rockband). Bella and Alice had got perfect and Emmett got a 96%.

"Emmett, I do believe that you would owe me $20 now." Bella laughed with Alice, but went serious again.

"Whatever, you cheated." Emmett grumbled as he pulled out his wallet. Edward, Jasper, and I busted out laughing when he said the last part.

"Hey Em," I called to him and went to sit by him. He was looking fine; black shirt, jeans, and a white sweater.

"Hey Rosie, you want to see a tour of the house?" Emmett asked me, eyeing me up and down with a smile on his face. I could feel my face turn red, no guy has ever made me blush more than Emmett Swan.

"Sure," I said and he slipped his hand into mine and pulled me off of the couch. I followed him to the kitchen and then he led me upstairs, where he pointed to everyone's rooms. When we got to his, he stopped and asked if I would like to go in. I nodded my head slowly, not knowing what would come out of my mouth. He pulled me in and I looked around. Emmett had a king sized bed up against the east wall. There was a glass window that wrapped from the north to the west side of the room. I guess we were in the back corner of the house on the second floor. One wall was full of records, CDs, DVDs, photo albums, and books. I saw a few shelves dedicated to video games. Emmett had a Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. I asked him if he would want to play me at Rockband. He agreed and we started playing. I let him beat me the first round, and then I let out my wrath of guitar skills. After a losing a few songs in a row, he asked if I want to go out to the garage. Emmett and I loved to talk about cars when we were together.

We walked outside to the garage, which was like as big as a house. It was huge! I could see myself spending a lot of time here. Emmett opened the door for me, what a gentleman. You can't find men like that nowadays. It was common. I walked in a felt my jaw drop to the ground when I saw the cars lined up in the garage. We were closest to a Yellow Porsche Turbo 911. I froze and let out a gasp. Emmett smiled the big goofy grin I loved. "Is… is that… a… Porsche 911 Turbo?" I asked through gasps.

"Yeah, that's Alice's baby. She didn't care anything about the engine or anything. She just said it was cute and she liked how it drove. I was appalled by her lack of knowledge for such a beauty. I'm glad to see you know your cars though." Emmett smiled at me. "I tuned it up just a little when she first bought it, I got to go a little smoother and I put in a few parts that make the engine purr when she revs it up." Emmett said proudly.

"Wow, I would have made the same changes. Excellent job, now if I could feel how it drives…" I began to purr at the thought.

"Let's move onto Bella's Camaro. I heard you had quite the reaction to this baby when you saw first saw her," I blushed. "Now I put in a tweaked the engine to make it go a little faster without having any problems." Wow, Emmett sure did know his way around cars. I just stared, wide-eyed at him. He smiled down at me. "Next we have Esme's precious Mercedes. She has this, and then the Audi R8 V10. These babies were perfect when she got them, I only play around with them, I don't want to mess something so perfect up. I tune them every once in a while to make sure they run smooth. Last, but certainly not least, my Jeep." (A/N all pictures of the cars on my profile!) His jeep was red, like my M3, and was huge. I could tell he liked to off road a lot. There was mud on the sides and tires. "I hadn't had a chance to clean it since last night's little road trip." He chuckled.

"It's cool; I think you got a nice ride. My M3 is the same color." We both laughed. Then Emmett stopped laughing, he got a really serious look on his face. He never got serious, so I knew he was about to tell me something important.

"Rosalie, I have a secret to tell you. It is a very important family secret that you cannot tell anyone! Your family will know about it soon enough, but this is really important that you do not tell a single living soul, or dead, that you know this. Okay?" His face was so serene; I knew he was not joking about this.

"Of course I wouldn't Em! I actually have something to tell you too." I knew this would be a good time as any to tell him how I feel about him.

"You go first," he said.

"Well, I really like you. I think I might be falling for you. But there's something about you and your family that has me asking questions I never would have asked myself before. There is something different about you that I can't place a finger on. Emmett, I need you to be honest with me. Because I love you," whoa, did that just slip out of my mouth? Crap. Emmett pulled out the big goofy grin that you had to smile back. I found myself grinning like a fool with him.

"Wow, Rosalie, I feel the same way about you. I really do. But that is what I was going to tell you. I want you to know, that I will love you no matter how you react to this. My family and I, we, we are not human. We are vampires." I felt my jaw hit the floor. I stood there, gaping at the man I loved with all my heart. I just found out the love of my life was a vampire. A frigging vampire. What was I, the next meal?

I slapped him in the face, but instead of him hurting, my hand started to pound. I think I might have broken my wrist. His skin was like granite. Emmett stood there for a moment, dumbfounded that I had tried to slap him. "You, Emmett Swan, are a liar. You don't love me! You just want me for your next meal! Well guess what, I am not some blonde bimbo that is going to let you suck the life out of just because they love you and think you're hot." I stomped my foot for emphasis and stormed out of the garage. I can't believe I had been alone with the creep. Oh my god, my family was alone with other vampires. Shit. I needed to help them. I started to run towards the house when a big arm grabbed me around the waist and held me tight to their chest that was heaving up and down in short rasps. Emmett was sobbing?

"Rosie, I would never think of you as a meal. Yes, your blood is sweet and smells so good, but I would never kill you just for your blood. You are beautiful, smart, fun and I love you. I would never do that to you. Do you understand me?" Emmett looked down to me with pleading eyes. I felt the need to hold him and tell him it would be okay.

"Unbelievably, yes, I believe you." I said in disbelief. "But you owe me some answers." I stated quietly and we both chuckled. He sat me down under a tree and began to answer my questions. Who would have thought, Rosalie Lillian Cullen fell in love with Emmett McCarthy Swan, a vampire.

Jasper's P.O.V.

When we arrived at the Swan's house, I was shocked by the size of the house. It was like a cabin/mansion. Most of the house was windows, very open to the woods that surrounded it. Esme, Alice's mother for all purposes, answered the door. She gave us a genuine smile and welcomed us inside. I had a good vibe off of her instantly. We walked into the living room to witness Alice, Emmett and Bella playing Rockband. Alice and Bella were holding guitars and Emmett was pounding away at the drums. Alice turned around a smiled, then turned back to her game. The pastel colors of her outfit made her pale skin glow. The tank she wore flowed beautifully along her curves. She looked taller from behind; I guessed she was wearing heels. The skinny jeans hugged her lower curves well. The pale pink cardigan was scrunched up around her elbows and you could tell the contrast from her skin to it. When they finished, Alice had scored perfect as did Bella. Emmett had a 96% on his drums. Bella and Alice started to laugh and Bella mentioned the twenty bucks he owed her. He grumbled something about cheating and then Rose, Ed, and I busted out laughing. I walked to Alice and gave her a hi-five. Her skin always felt abnormally cold when we touched. "Hey do you want to go check out the house?" Alice asked under her eyelashes. I blushed from the intensity in her eyes.

"Sure, that would be cool," I told her. She grabbed my hand a pulled me upstairs; I didn't recoil from her cool touch though. I actually held on tighter. She showed me where everyone stayed, and pulled me into her room. It was pink, I mean everything was pink. I liked it though; it screamed out Alice. I laughed at the cliché of her room. She had fashion magazines fluttering every surface. I noticed sketches of clothes everywhere; pinned up on a tack board, on her desk, even her bed. She had bags of clothes from her last shopping trip setting out waiting to be put up. I noticed that she had many pairs of shoes thrown about.

"Sorry it's so messy. I thought that you would want to see the real me, not some girl who had everything perfect at all times when really I like things untidy." Alice confided with me.

"I think it is totally you, I wouldn't have it any other way." I told her honestly.

"Do you want to go out to the backyard?" Alice sweetly asked me.

"Sure," I said as she pulled me down the stairs and out the backdoor. I didn't catch a sign of Carlisle or Esme as we left. Their backyard was huge. There were benches and swings scattered sparsely throughout the yard and I heard a river somewhere off far. Alice took me to one of the swings and we sat down.

"Jasper, I have something very important to tell you. But I wanted to let you know how I felt about you first. Jasper, I think I fell in love with you when I first saw you in the lunch room a few weeks ago. I knew I could trust you with any family secret and my life. So, I know that you have been wondering what exactly my family is." My heart was going really fast at the fact I had found our Alice loved me and that she was about to tell me the secret. "Jasper, my family and I are vampires" She took a deep breath and looked at me waiting for my reaction. But all I could do is pull her into a hug. Alice was startled at first, but then relaxed in my arms. "So you aren't going to call me crazy or go screaming and run away from me?" Alice asked, shocked.

"No I don't think I am. I knew something was up about your family. But I knew you were not bad, you were just dangerous. But I love that about you. I love you and everything about you. I accept you for you, even the vampire part. Even though I'm sure you are much stronger than me and could kill me any second, I'm not afraid. I just don't want to lose you. Alice Swan, I love you." I told her confidently; hoping to show her that I really didn't mind. My voice didn't betray me for she beamed and pulled me into a kiss. It was a very gentle kiss that only lasted a few seconds. I knew she was holding back from me because she was still afraid I might get scared and bolt at any minute. "Alice, I would never leave you. You must understand that." I murmured as I kissed her forehead. She fell into my arms and we swung in a peaceful silence. After a while, she asked me if I had any questions, which, of course, I did. We sat and conversed about her life that I love, as a vampire.

Carlisle's P.O.V.

Esme's home was quite stunning. When she opened the door, my heart swelled with love. I knew I was in love the second I laid eyes on her in town that one evening a few weeks ago. We tried to see each other every day and I knew she felt the same towards me. I was going to tell her today how I truly felt about her. We walked into the house and she led me upstairs to her room to give the kids alone time together. Esme sat on the love seat in her room, where I soon followed to. I lay down with my arms wrapped around her cool frame. I have touched Esme's skin many times and it was always cool, very cool. I was a doctor and that kind of temperature would scare anyone, especially me. I asked her about it and she said she would tell me one day when the time came. I was hoping that today was the right time. We sat in a comfy, peaceful silence for a few minutes. I felt complete while she was in my arms. My other half. I knew we were meant to be together since I first saw her just a few short weeks ago.

Flashback

I had just gotten off of work and was heading to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner when I saw her. She was the most beautiful woman I think I had ever seen before. She was getting out of a black Mercedes and stepping into a store. I pulled my car into a parking spot and followed her inside. I must know her name before I left for home. I found myself in a lingerie store. I was about to hit myself in the head when someone bumped into while reaching towards the rack I was resting against. I turned to see her staring at me. "Excuse me, sir. I can't reach that bra right there, could you hand it to me?" She asked without a hint of embarrassment. I knew I was blushing as I handed her a black laced bra. "Thank you very much, Mr.-?" She was asking for my name.

"Cullen, Carlisle Cullen." I managed to get out.

"Thank you Mr. Cullen." She nodded her head and began to turn around when I grabbed her elbow to turn her back around, but I was met by cold, hard skin.

"Mr. Cullen was my father. Please, call me Carlisle, Mrs.-?" I asked her back, hoping she wasn't a Mrs. but a Miss.

"Swan, Esme Swan. And it would be a Miss for the time being. What about you, is your wife trying on something?" Esme asked, looking around the store for someone she wouldn't find.

"Actually, no, I am single. I saw you getting out of your car and had to find out what your name was before I went home." I admitted honestly.

"I'm happy you did Carlisle." Esme smiled sweetly. I felt my heart swoon, and I knew I was in love.

"What are you doing tomorrow? I heard it wasn't supposed to rain. Maybe we could go for a walk in the park?" I asked with a hint of hope and pleading mixed in my voice.

"That would be wonderful Carlisle. I must go, but I will see you there around 3?" Esme asked for the time we should meet.

"Perfect, I get off of my shift early tomorrow from the hospital, so I will see you then." I smiled and waved as she walked to the checkout line. That couldn't have gone better. Well, except for the setting.

End of Flashback

I smiled at the memory of our first meeting. "Carlisle, I have something very important to tell you. But I have to let you know that I love you before I go on." She paused long enough for me to respond.

"Oh Esme, I feel the same way love. I have loved you since I saw you step out of your car. You can tell me anything and I promise I will be there for you." I honestly stated the truth.

Esme's smile brightened, "Carlisle I am very happy you feel the same way. Now back to what I was trying to say before I get off track again," she smiled at me. "I'm just going to go ahead and get it out there in the open. Carlisle, my family and I are vampires." She looked up into my eyes and I knew she was happy with what she found because she kissed me. Our first kiss and I just found out she was a vampire. I wasn't entirely shocked, last night I had looked up things and I found a few things that mentioned vampires. So I was kind of prepared. We sat and talked about the important aspects of her being a vampire. I was in love with a vampire. As was the rest of my family. I hoped they took it as easily as me.

(Finally)

Edward's P.O.V.

Bella had showed me up to her room. We were currently sitting on her couch, chatting aimlessly about random things. I was surprised at how open her room was. Two of the walls were pure glass. Her room was the only bedroom taken on the third floor. There were two more rooms there, but were for guests and Bella's library. Which was huge! I was surprised at all of the novels she owned. I picked up the one on her bed that was the most used out of all of her books. The title read, Wuthering Heights. Bella still surprised me by the minute. I was shocked into silence when I saw her immense collection of records and CDs. I hit play on her iHome to see what she had been listening to last. Don't Trust Me by 3Oh!3 filled the silence of the room through the speakers. I chuckled and Bella giggled. I grabbed by her hands, and didn't recoil from the coldness. I had gotten used to it over the past few days. I took her hands and began to dance around. I spun her around and she giggled again. When the "Shush girl, shut your lips, do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips," part came on, Bella did this little dance that she knew to it. I was laughing my head off when she finished her dance at the end, "Cuz a ho won't trust me," with her arms crossed over her chest and a whatever look on her face and bobbed it up once. Bella busted into a fit of giggles when she finished and we fell onto her couch. She leaned over me to hit pause on her iHome and I suddenly was lost in the smell of strawberries and freesia. I inhaled deeply and sighed. She sat back down and got serious.

"Edward, I have to tell you something very important. I feel like I can trust you with my life and secret. Your theories about me were off, but you were right about one thing. I'm not human. My family and I are vampires." I knew it! I wanted to yell I knew it. But I couldn't find my voice to speak. I leaned in and placed a kiss on her full lips. It was the best sensation I have ever experienced, but I pulled back quickly.

"I know, and I don't care. I am not afraid of you, but I'm afraid of losing you." I whispered in her ear. I heard her take a deep breath.

"Edward, you have no clue how dangerous I am. Come, I will show you." She grabbed my hand and threw me on her back and leaped out of her window onto the ground. We started to fly through the woods. So this is how she was able to get to me so fast that one day when I was nearly struck by the van. Bella had some type of super vampire speed. I had to hide my eyes against her back because the wind was bringing tears in my eyes. It felt odd to be on Bella's back. I couldn't help the feeling that I should be caring her, not the other way around. She obviously had some sort of super vampire strength as well. She stopped and we were in a meadow. It was beautiful; the trees stopped to form a circle around this patch of grass. I heard a stream nearby. The grass swayed back and forth in the slight breeze. There were different colored wildflowers situated throughout the meadow. I looked around to tell Bella this, but she was gone. I found her eyes near the forest's edge.

"Bella, what is it?" I asked her.

"I'm going to show you why I can't go out into the sun, Edward." She stepped out into the meadow just as the sun broke over the clouds. Her skin sparkled like diamonds and little rays of rainbows beamed off of her.

"You're… You're beautiful," I managed to choke out. Bella was simple stunning. Her top, that was blue, the color was thrown off from the rays bouncing off from her arms. She had kicked off her blue flats before she had stepped out. The skinny jeans she wore hung tightly to her curves, as did her top. She was simply breathtakingly beautiful.

"Beautiful? Edward, this is the skin of a killer." I heard her choke out. "As if I didn't need these looks. As if you could outrun me," Bella was there speaking and then she was on the other side of the meadow in a mere second. "As if you could fight me off," She grabbed a nearby tree and threw it to the other side of the meadow, where it crashed into several trees and they collapsed at the force of the thrown tree. "Everything about me invites you in. My voice, my looks, even my smell." Bella said, suddenly in front of me. I took a step back because of her quickness that shocked me.

"I told you Bella, I'm not afraid of you." I reminded her.

"You really shouldn't have said that." She growled at me. Did she just growl? I could have sworn I heard a growl escape her lips. Bella suddenly was in a crouching position and had her teeth bared. She let a snarl rip through her teeth. Bella stalked towards me like I was prey. I stood there, waiting for her to get to the point. I knew she wouldn't hurt me. I knew she was just trying to prove her point. Bella leaped at my throat suddenly, catching me off guard. I was once again pushed to the ground when I was hit by a hard, cold, steel frame ramming into me from the front this time. Bella was straddling me with her teeth bared to my throat. My breathing hitched; she let out a laugh and kissed my neck. "Umm, you smell so yummy." She whispered as she sat up.

"Yeah, it's an off day when someone doesn't tell me I smell 'yummy'" I quoted her. She let me roll her over so I was hovering over her. "Bella, I love you, and I don't think you could ever actually intentionally hurt me." I confessed to her.

"I doubt I would ever intentionally hurt you. But the odds of my hurting you unintentionally are far too great. I could kill you with my pinky right now. Do you have any idea how much self control put myself through to be around you? Yes, I am immune to human blood, but yours is the first that actually smelt good to me. But I have been able to live past the burning feeling in my throat. But what's to say about my physical self control over my movements. How could I live with myself if I shattered your whole bone structure while holding your hand?" For emphasis, she grabbed my hand and gently squeezed. I let out a cry of pain from the intense pressure I felt for that one second she had squeezed. "See, now you are going to bruise there from my hand. That is my fault. I feel horrible right now just for bruising you. I feel so connected to you; I never want to hurt you. I want to protect you from being hurt. Tell me what you're thinking." She whispered the last part. I was about to answer when she held up a finger. After a minute, she closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on something. After a few moments she opened her eyes and smiled. I love you, too. Whispered through my head, but Bella's lips never moved. I looked at her, questionably. I had no idea what was going on. All vampires are gifted with a special power when they are turned. Esme thinks that it's their strongest trait from their human life. When I was human, I often shielded myself from others and never let them in unless I fully trusted them with everything. Only one person had done that, and that is Esme. When I was turned, I found that my power was that I am shielded from mental attacks, like my friend Kate, who lives in a coven in Alaska; she can shock you by just touching some part of your skin. But it's a mental thing really. She tried it out on me and it didn't work. I learned later how to push my shield out to others so I could protect them to from these things. So far, I have reached 100 yards to be able to stretch my shield. Well, while in my shield, I can talk to you and communicate without having to speak; like we are now. I learned that I can see whatever part of your mind I wanted to see and that you can only see what I want you to see in mine. It is really a perfect gift to be blessed with. She finished and I was shocked into silence.

Did I tell you I loved you? I asked mentally.

No, but I saw it in your head. No worries, the feelings are gladly returned. Now could you get off of me before I make you? She asked, a teasing smile playing at her lips. I rolled off her onto the ground and she curled into my side while I stroked her hair. Ask me the most important question though, what do we eat? Bella asked a little more serious.

I heard you say you were immune to humans. How does that work? Isn't that your diet?

That is supposed to be our diet. But me and Esme care about others; another gift we were blessed with. We were repelled by the scent human blood when we woke from our transformation. So we skipped out newborn years, something I will tell you another time. We found that we could live off of the blood of animals; why our eyes are butterscotch instead of red. I learned that we are the one of two covens that I have so far met that is what we call 'vegetarian' vampires. That is the coven in Alaska, the Denali clan. It's more like a family though, like us. We found that we are me friendly and loving than vampires that live off of human blood. Drinking animal blood is like a human living off of tofu. It keeps you strong, but not completely satisfied. Nothing like drinking your blood for instance. No one in my family, apart from me, has ever tasted human blood.

So how did your family become to be?

120 years ago, I gasped at her age. Don't be too surprised love. Anyways, 120 years ago, my mother and I were living in New England and I was asleep when I awoke by a sharp fiery pain in my neck. There was a man hovering over me, much too strong for me to fight off. He was sucking at my throat and I felt fire began to coarse through my veins. It was the vampire venom spreading. My mother ran to my room when she heard me scream. Esme screamed when she saw the sight of a man laying over me biting my neck and sucking my blood. I tensed all over to think she went through this. There, there, love. I am glad this happened because it led me to you. Let's face it; I would be rotting under the ground for over the past 30 years before you were born. I would never have met you if it wasn't for Laurent. He bit Esme soon after. We left him after a while and we found Emmett being mauled be a bear 60 years later. I changed him myself. It left me sick for many days to think that I didn't want to stop when I first bit him. But I did, I only bit him long enough to get the venom moving. We found Alice 10 years later in New York in an alley way being attacked by a vampire. Alice had already been bitten when we arrived and we took her back to our house. We've been together ever since.

Wow, Bella, I'm proud of you for stopping. I can't imagine what it was like for you to do that. I sat in awe for a moment.

It's like being an alcoholic and having one drink, then wanting more and more. Once we taste human blood, it sets us off on a sort of frenzy and we lose ourselves to the taste. I am the only one who has experienced this in our coven. That was when I changed Emmett. But I stopped, for that I am grateful. I don't know what eternity would have been like without him.

Didn't you say that you were repelled by humans?

I am, but by their scent. I find animals smell better. But I have to say Emmett tasted better. He got a kick out of that when I told him.

You said eternity a minute ago. Are you immortal?

Yes and the only thing so far that has been able to kill us is each other, and werewolves.

I have some werewolf friends. I chuckled. If they were really werewolves, no they couldn't be.

I felt Bella go rigid besides me. How did you start to guess about us being vampires?

When I went to First Beach, I ran into some friends. One of their sisters started to tell me some old legends. Said that your family had signed a treaty with their ancestors that you wouldn't bite a human or go on their land. If you bit a human, it would be war. She also mentioned they were supposedly decedents to wolves. She didn't believe it though. Bella was still besides me.

Edward, you have to promise me you stay away from La Push. She looked me straight in the eyes.

Whatever you want. May I ask why, though?

Werewolves are very unstable, if you were standing near one when they got angry… I couldn't do anything but blame myself for letting you near them.

Wait, werewolves are real?

Of course, I'm the one who offered we write a treaty before they ripped our heads off and burned the pieces.

Oh, okay then. We should head back. It's getting dark.

You are right. Let's go back. You want to ride? I chuckled and nodded. Bella grabbed my arm and threw me over her shoulder onto her back. When my family left the house, we were silent. No one said anything the whole car ride, when we got home, the next day even. We all had a glazed over look on our faces. No of us could focus on anything. We were all madly in love with a family of vampires. This would be interesting.

A/N so what do you think so far? Extra long chapter to make up for not updating till, what time is it? OMG! It's 4:23 AM. I would be regretting this tomorrow. Gosh. Well I hope you guys liked it and please review!
