Chapter Eighteen

During the next few weeks I barely saw Kyle, since I was going left and right for Aro, much to my displeasure. But the thing that sucked more about going to Egypt to find a coven that was hiding a vampire who could manipulate nature and not telling Aro because it'd be the downfall of the coven, was the fact that Kyle was sticking to his no blood thing. I have seen pretty much every coven that was friends with my family, and I couldn't release my stress with a good neck biting. Renesmee had emailed me telling me the date of the wedding and told me due to my running away; I'm not allowed to wear black.

Jane was watching me like a hawk every day, trying to figure out who I kept texting. I told her it was just a friend from the United States. I had gotten a new phone so that my parents couldn't track my texts, and I was taking money out in places that we stopped off at in between covens. I felt like a spy, but really, I was scared of meeting one of my parents during one of my missions because I made a mistake of leaving a paper trail.

I was in Italy again, and very frustrated. During the last few weeks I had been snacking on different sorts of people, and I had yet found a type of person that leaves me as satisfied as Kyle's blood. My mood was slowly growing towards an irritated grizzly bear, and I couldn't take it anymore. I donned some shorts and a tank top; put my hair in a ponytail, put a earphone in, turned on my iPod before heading over to Kyle's house. This was probably the first time I wasn't wearing any black…I was even wearing flip-flops.

I rang the doorbell and his mom answered the door with a smile, "You must be Edelle." She expressed, before her brow crinkled in concentration, "Have we met before?"

I realized then I hadn't erased myself from her memory completely. I was still in there, but the memory was so muddled it just seemed like a dream, or déjà vu. "No, I don't believe so," I lied efficiently, "Is Kyle home?"

"Yes, he's up in his room."

"Up the stairs on the left?" I asked, and she looked at me, startled, so I tacked on,"Or on the right?"

She chuckled, "Just follow the stench."

I walked into the house as she returned to the kitchen, but I was stopped by Kyle's little sister, "I'm Lily, and you're a vampire." She said lightly, and I realized that she remembered it. I had forgotten to erase her memories…wait, I did…except her mind had remembered me and had replayed the scene to her in a dream. What was with this family? That means I'd have to actually be careful about what I say with them? Fabulous.

"oh? And why do you think this?" I asked cheerfully, "I'm out in the daytime and haven't disintegrated into ashes."

She gave me a look that only a seven year old can adorably do, "So? Listen, if you turn my brother into a vampire, you'll have to answer to me." She pointed to her chest and glared at me. I chuckled.

"I'll keep that in mind. What if another vampire changes him then?" I asked seriously, and she smiled, showing off a gap in her teeth.

"Then that's fine. As long as I'm changed too! My brother shouldn't be alone," her eyebrow crinkled, "How did you erase my mother's thoughts of you?"

"Uh…she probably listened to a really good song that relieved her stress." I replied before looking up the stairs, "Listen, I came here to see your brother. Are we okay?"

She studied me before nodding, "Yeah, we're okay. You're really pretty." She went off skipping towards the Wii that had been left on. I shook my head before going up the stairs. I looked into Kyle's room and chuckled.

"So what's this stench your mom's talking about? It smells irresistible to me." I replied, my throat searing. He put away the book he was reading and smiled at me.

"You look cute." He replied. I rolled my eyes as I walked in and shut the door. I sat on his bed and groaned.

"I can't stand it! I'm craving your blood so badly!" I whined and looked at him, "Just oneeee little sip?"

He laughed, "Nope." He said, making the 'p' pop, "You know the deal."

I sulked, realizing I was echoing my mother's feelings about marriage. . . but she wanted to be changed by Dad, Kyle just wants me to be his girlfriend, "Fine! I'll be your girlfriend until I don't need your blood anymore." I begrudgingly responded and he shook his head, hiding a smile.

"Then I'll just work hard to make sure I stay 'irristible'." He teased and I looked at him.

"So I can bite you?" I replied excitedly, my smile growing larger. He grinned and opened his arms.

"Come on. Don't make a mess though."

I went over to him and straddled him, one knee on either side of his waist, "Don't scream in agony, you'll scare your sister," I told him with a smile before leaning and biting the left side of his neck. He groaned in pain, and his hands clasped on to my hips, obviously trying to hold in his pain reaction. I felt bad for his pain, but not enough to actually stop. I drank his blood, feeling ecstasy over how good it tasted.

I was almost done when I realized too late that his mom's thoughts were intent on checking up on us. She looked in on us, and paused when she saw I was on top of her son. She couldn't see Kyle's face of pain due to my head being in the way, but she obviously saw his hands tight against my waist. "Ahem." She coughed and I sprang away, and watched as Kyle hid his neck with a casual hand.

"what's up mom?" He asked and she looked at him disapprovingly.

"You know my rule about when girls are in the house that I'd like the door kept open. So that…it's not your sister walking in on something that she wouldn't see." She smiled at me, but her thoughts were showing she now thought of me as a hussy that was trying to take her son's virtue, "I came to ask if you'll be staying for supper Edelle."

"Sure ma'am, I'd be happy to." I was impressed with her honesty. She had come to ask that, but now she was regretting that, but she still asked.

"Good." She nodded and left, keeping the door open by a few inches. I looked at Kyle, whose face was horrified.

"She thought we were…"

"Uh yeah." I started laughing, "I'm now a hussy in her eyes." I went over to his desk and got him a few Band-Aids. I handed him them, "I'd rather be that then a vampire in her eyes personally."

He applied the Band-aids to his neck, "Well, that's true. So, since you're already a hussy in my mom's eyes and you're now my girlfriend, "he waggled his eyebrows at me and I shoved him lightly.

"No, because I have something I want to ask you." He looked at me curiously, and I smiled, "So how many girls have you had in your room that your mom has made that rule?"

He laughed, "Oh you know, there was this one girl when I was five…" He shook his head and gazed at me seriously, "You're the only girl who has made me look twice."

My eyes widened and I couldn't help the blush that crossed my face. His eyes widened as well, "Did you just blush?"

I hid my cheeks and glared at him, "No."

He leaned over and kissed my hand that covered my left cheek, "That's cute. You don't need to hide it."

"It's the curse of my mother. She blushed at everything." I told him, and removed my hands from my face.

"Well, I'll have to thank your mom then." Kyle teased and I snapped my fingers.

"which reminds me…your family is going on a trip next week right?"

"yeah…but I'm staying because I have school." Kyle replied and I grinned.

"Well, now you have a wedding to go to."

"wow, that's a quite wedding." He remarked and I shrugged.

"Not so bad. I'm sure Aunt Alice had it all ready within two days."

He grabbed my arm and I allowed him to pull me into his lap. He started playing with my hand as he asked, "Describe your family to me. I don't want them to know everything about me when I know nothing about them."

"You'll be a surprise. All Ness said to Alice was I was bringing a guest with me. She didn't say anything about you, because she doesn't know anymore," I replied, though I knew Renesmee probably suspected more.

"Okay, but I still want to know about them."

I leaned back onto his shoulder so I could look up at him while I talked, "Well, Rosalie is so gorgeous you'll probably look at her and forget completely about me…"

"Doubt it."

I glared up at him, "Don't interrupt. She's married to Emmett, who'll probably do some sort of trick on you. He'll probably make a bet with Jasper on something or another. Jasper is married to Alice and can read and manipulate emotions. Alice can see the future based on decisions, but can't see any of the werewolves or Ness and me. Then there are my grandparents Carlisle and Esme. .. Carlisle is a doctor in a hospital and Esme plays the mom role. Then there's my parents. Edward can read your thoughts and Bella can block any type of mental vampire power, except half-vampires like Ness and I can get through."

"Yeah, so four of them have powers…what are their personalities like?" He asked and I smiled mischeviously.

"They're very protective of me and Renesmee. If you don't treat me right, you'll probably be drained of blood."

"…you said that they're vegetarians, so I'm not falling for that." He grinned at me and I chuckled.

"Well, sometimes they have slipups. Nah, they'd probably do some sort of thing to deal with you." I replied, "Oh! And my Grandpa Charlie is the Police Chief, so he'd look the other way."

He laughed uneasily, "Uh…huh. Well, that just means I have to get them to like me."

"well, Esme will love you because you are the first guy to get me smile. Carlilse will like you because he likes everyone. Emmett will like you once you start joking back at him. Oh, and my dad? Will probably never like you." I teased lightly, "The only reason why he likes Jacob is because Jacob imprinted on Ness…but even then Edward still has the urge to kill Jacob sometimes."

Kyle chuckled, "What's imprinting?"

"It's…my family describes it like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time. It's a love so binding, so forever…so….constricting. Jacob goes into withdrawals if he's not with Renesmee for a certain amount of time and he does everything to make her happy. Even if it's his death she wants, he'd jump off the nearest cliff. Of course, he'd survive but that's not the point. It's a love that's so phsycholigcally wrong that it causes most people to become nauseated once they realize it's a forever sort of deal. If my sister wasn't so happy about it, I would have been gone ages ago," I explained, and noticed he was looking at me in amusement, "What?"

"So now I know that romantic dinners will cause you to slap me." He replied casually and I rolled my eyes.

"I like romantic stuff…it's just, so overdone sometimes. I'd rather have a guy hand me a crispy crème and say he loved me more than a box of donuts then be lavished with red roses and a romantic dinner by candlelight."

"I'll keep that in mind." He smiled and kissed the top of my head just as his mother called us for dinner, "Well, for now you'll just have to deal with eating with my family. Come on." He lifted me easily off of him and stood up. I raised my eyebrows.

"You're pretty strong for a human."

"You're not that heavy Edelle. You're slim." He replied with a grin and took my hand. "Come on. Let's go eat."

"Fine, but if your mom thinks of me as a hussy again we're done." I teased and he just laughed.

"Don't worry, if she does just nudge me and I'll reprimand her for it."
