The wind let out a small roar making the branches of leaves shake uncontrollably. Standing with Kevin now was no different then standing with him two hours ago at the mall. I had always known he was different… in a good way.
The minute I heard the 'We need to talk line' I insisted on going somewhere secluded. I needed a good amount of space if my anger took control.
"I really don't know how to say this." Kevin starts. I sigh. " Just say what you need to say."
He hesitates for a moment not sure but then breathes in a breath.
"You know about the myths and legends of the world, right?"
"Yeah…doesn't everybody?"
He starts to hesitates again but I lay a hand on his warm shoulder signaling for him to continue.
"Well. I'm one of them." My body fidgets a little cry.
"Please don't tell me you're a werewolf?"
"What? No way…you could say I'm like a harpe." My mind relaxes. No Werewolf. That's a relief. " But aren't herpes's girls or resembling girl like bird things?"
I hear him chuckle. "Let me show you."
Kevin gets up from where he set by me and stands in front. The winds stifles a cry but begins to blow the way it was before. I could see a tremble in him then out of no where are two huge symmetrical midnight blue wings. They were beautiful. My mouth falls open just a little and I see him smile. "What do you think? You think I'm a freak, right." I stand up and approach him slowly, a smile of my own forming. I then embrace him.
"Well, you'll think I'm a bigger freak."
He gives me a strange look and I giggle. I could feel that he had razor sharp claws, which surprised me. That shouldn't even bother me, I am after all the undead.
"I'm a vampire."
At first I expected maybe a little bit of uneasiness between us but all was calm. He embraced me back just a little bit tighter.
"That explains so much." I let out a sigh of relief.
And we stood like that for hours, locked in each others arms. Not moving except for Kevin's random twitches every now and again. I listened to his heart beat, the sweet thumping pattern was memorizing., and at the same time irresistible.

The rain padded down slowly. It was one of the heavier rainfalls of the year. The rushing and rumbling from upstairs was unquestionable. It was time for the baby to come out. Or if you could really call it a baby, who knows what it would look like. I could smell the sweet blood from where I sat and it was already hard enough for me to restrain myself. I was so pathetic. Over 130 years old, I should be able to control myself.
I turned my head towards the stairs to see a frenzied Rosalie being pulled by Alice and Emmett. I snicker, Miss Perfect wasn't so perfect after all. They kept dragging her in till she was out of the house and a safe distance. I could hear Jacob telling something to Bella about not dying. I flex my hand muscles trying to stop thinking about the blood when I heard the doorbell ring. I glide to knowing Kevin would be standing right there when I opened the door.
And I was right.
I embrace like we did in the forest , making him stagger a little. I laugh joyfully breathing in his scent. "Glad you could come." I whisper.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Taking his hand lightly I guide him into the living room where we both sit down close together.
"I'm guessing Bella got worse."
Uck. My mind sours with thoughts of her at the mention of her name.
"Yeh , there trying to…you know…not kill it." I look at Kevin. His face was serious yet had not looks of interest. I smile. He was just asking to be polite. How sweet.
Soon Jacob comes down the stairs with a strange look on his face. He seemed to be in pain. I lay my head on Kevin's shoulder watching Jacob as he passes the couch. He had the smell of fresh human blood on him. I let out a small whine. It smelled so good . I think back to the last time I hunted which was two and a half weeks ago. Before I could think of anything else, Alice is back in, a face of pure concentration on her face so I presumed she was having a vision.
"What is it Alice?" I ask with growing curiosity.
"It's the baby."
