Writers Note: I hope you all had a good Christmas. Thanks for the reviews! I'm watching high school musical at the moment...So excuse me if my writing is not at it's best! LOL :] Sorry for not updating for a while but I've been sick, I think I have the flu.

Unfortunately I do not own Twilight...dammit!

CPOV-

"Are you sure you really want to hear about this?" Edward looked dubious, "I might scare you and I don't even know your name!"

"It's Cassie," I said walking into the room, "And I want to know, Edward, please?"

"Okay. But you must tell me if you get scared."

I started drying my hair, the wing blowing it in and out of place. Edward's face stiffened and he grabbed part of the bed frame.

"Sorry. Um. Does it make the smell of blood worse?" I bit my lip again, turning the hairdryer off.

"Only yours, " Edward said, darkly. "If it was any other human in here I would be fine. Yourblood smells so much better than anyone else's to only me. He looked up and the cieling, looking both disgusted and proud.

"Sorry." I didn't know what to say. My heart ached for him, he seemed to be in so much mental pain.

Suddenly Edward laughed, "I tried to kill you but you're the one that's sorry? Why?"

I loked into his golden eyes. "It's hurting you. I'm hurting you. I can see the pain in your eyes and it sickens me. You came to see if I was alright and now you're in pain. Edward, maybe you should leave, don't risk your criminal record just to look after me."

He stood up and came to stand next to me and whispered softly, "Cassie, I couldn't ver forgive myself if I left now. I wouldn't be able to stop worrying about you and your sanity. And as for you hurting me being sickening you, I've already beaten you there. I have killed so many people Cassie and at the time I didn't feel any remorse. I'm a monster."

"Edward, if you were so much of a monster you already would have killed me but you didn't. Doesn't that tell you something?" I argued.

"Is that what you really think?" He asked in disbelief, "I find you so hard to read, it's like your mind has a security system!"

I raised one eyebrow at him, what did he mean? "Can your hear people's thoughts?"

"Everyone's but yours," he answered, mock cheerfully.

I gasped. "But why? Can all vampires?"

"It's something that has puzzled me since I was changed. Carlisle has a theory..."

"Carlisle?"

"My father, for all purposes." He smiled wrily, " He thinks it is because are talents from are human lives are passed on and enhanced. Not all of my family have talents like these. Alice, my favorite sister can see the future. Nothing definite though, people change their minds constantly, make different choices. Jasper, Alice's husband-"

"Vampires get married? That's...lovely"

Edward laughed and continued after flashing his crooked grin at me, "He can alter people's feelings, he always knows how you feel. None of the rest of us have talents but somehow we are all unique. Esme is the most caring, motherly person you could ever hope to meet, Carlisle...Carlisle has his amazing compassion, Rosalie, my sister has her beauty no vampire or human could evercompare to it. Emmett," here Edward paused to laugh, "is never affected by serious atmosphere and is incredibly strong, he was attacked by a grizzly while he was human but Rosalie saved him, she just couldn't leave him to die. Sometimes they live separately from us as a young married couple."

I looked at Edward, "Don't you feel sad? You're the only one...not with someone."

Edward looked at me, so confused and frustrated, "Cassie, you are the most...Amazingly odd human I have ever met, how can you possibly feel any sorrow for me?"

"I'm not sure. Hey, Edward guess what, you're the strangest vampire I ever met too."

Edward laughed, his chuckles peeling like musical notes. Suddenly he lifted me up into his ice cold arms and set me on the bed. "Sleep, Cassie!"

And he disappeared out my window, into the night.

EDWARD POV-

I ran home through the darkness and suddenly my joyful mood disappeared. It was Cassie, she made me forget. Rosalie was probably still going to be irritating when I got to the house. I would still have to reapeat high school everyday for infinity. Still no one would ever understand.

I walked in the door to my family, Alice was arranging flowers, Emmett and Jasper were wrestling, Carlisle and Esme were sitting on the cream leather couch, their fingers locked together. Esme looked up at me at me and I read her thoughts, Edward, I think Rosalie wants to speak with you, "She's upstairs waiting for you, go," she pleaded.

I sighed and began up the stairs. Emmett stood and ours eyes locked for a moment, I'm warning you, Edward!

"Let him go," Carlisle murmured, without looking up.

I knocked softly on Rosalie's door. "Come in Edward!"

She was sitting at her dressing table, brushing her golden hair. I didn't bother reading her vain, self-absorbed thoughts.

Rosalie set down her hair brush and I pulled over a white chair to sit beside her. "Edward, if you think I'm going to apoligize then you're wrong! I've already tried but you're too caught up in angsty, depressing little world to care."

"Apology accepted!" I spat and stood up to walk away. Rosalie sighed and rolled her eyes, "I can't believe you're actually making me say this," she muttered.

"Can you just say it, please?"

"Edward be careful, okay?" I know you only want to help this girl but...Just be careful," She said, her eyes softening into deep molten gold pools.

"Rose?" I said, "When you were human you were always pressured to look good right?"

Rosalie's eyes narrowed suspiciously, "Yes."

"When I walked into Cassie's room she was in there and...she was so sad. All I wanted to do in the first place was apologize, but when I saw her she made me forget what I was supposed to be doing. She looked more fragile athmn other humans. All I wanted to do was take her away somewhere and tell her everything and look after her," I admitted, looking at the wooden surface of the table, "Does that make me a monster?"

"No," Rose answered picking up her brush again, "It means you love her."

AN: AWWWH! So yeah, I dunno what to call this chapter but I may think of something...Let me know if you do. I hope you liked it! Chocolate coins for anyone who reviews!
