My longest chapter yet!! enjoy
BPOV
There was relief all around when we heard Edward call out. It had been two days since Edward was bitten and none of us where really experts in the subject.
'That was quicker than Emmet, it took him a week to recover!' Rosalie commented, trying to lighten the mood.
'Yeah, but Emmet has always been slow' Jasper joined
'I am here guys!' Emmet's face was hilarious, making us all burst into laughter.
'Hello, where am I? And why does my throat burn?' Edward sat up grabbing his throat.
'Whoops forgot about you sorry' Carlisle said 'Let me explain this, as you may no, is my adopted family' He said pointing around as I stepped back 'Well it's like this we are vampires and that man in your room was also a vampire. He saw you with Bella and got jealous so decided to bite you and turned you into a vampire as well'
'But vampires don't exist'
'This is going to be a long day, any one want a glass of water' Emmet says in his sarcastic voice
'Yes please, my throat feels like it is on fire, like my neck did when James bit me' Edward put his hand on his neck 'Where is the hole in my neck? He bit me and what day is it?'
'The holes close up quickly because you are technically dead and it is Thursday, you where bitten on Tuesday, quite a good recovery actually' Carlisle said
'That means I have left my dad for that long'
'Don't worry we told him that you where staying with us for a while because something had happened that triggered a painful memory of your mum and you needed to get away, he believed me straight away and said to take all the time you need'
'Well that was kind of him. Hang on so your saying I haven't eaten in 2 days, shouldn't I be feeling hungry' Edward replied still holding on to his throat while gulping down the water
'Bella will you run down to the shop and get some chocolate to prove our point please?'
'What point?'
'That your a vampire and you don't eat'
With that I left and was back within five minutes.
'How did you get back so fast?' questioned a confused Edward
'Vampire speed, comes in handy' I past him the chocolate bar and realised it was the first thing I had said to him that day.
He took a bite out of the chocolate bar and spat it out.
'Yuck what is this?'
'The same chocolate that you had when we went to the cinema on Tuesday night, the one you said you loved and tried to get me to try a piece, but I wouldn't eat it'
'Okay maybe I am starting to buy this a bit, I mean what other excuses do I have and what is this burning?'
'Your thirsty' Jasper replied simply
'But I am drinking aren't I?'
'For blood' Jasper said again, keeping surprisingly calm
'Blood, but I don't want to kill people which reminds me, why do your eyes change. I mean everyone's eyes here are golden apart from Bella's who's are black and that man who I think you called James had scarlet red eyes'
'That brings us on to the next point. We are vegetarian vampires we survive on the blood of animals and control our thirst, which makes our eyes this golden colour. James is different he kills people making his eyes scarlet. As for Bella her eyes are black because she is thirsty and hasn't hunted for a while, even if they survive on animals blood our eyes still turn black when we are thirsty'
There was a long pause while Edward thought
'Why haven't you hunted in a while?' Questioned Edward, while turning to look at me.
'I have been sitting with you for the past two days'
'It's true' said Alice 'She hasn't left your side, ever'
'Thanks Alice' I shot her a glare
'Okay then' a smile filled his face after Alice's last speech 'What happens now?'
'Well you have to make a choice, animals or people?'
'Animals' said Edward without a thought
'Okay then, you can stay here a while, until you can control your thirst and then can go and live with your dad again when you feel up to it, but you can't tell him' Carlisle said
'Fine by me, now can I go hunting or something, my throat is annoying me'
'Yeah sure you can come with me' This way I can show him and try to find out what James has said to him.
While we where hunting, Edward caught a bear and so did I. After we had finished Edward was astonished.
'Wow that was fast'
'I know, but don't get big headed I am the fastest vampire around!' I said jokingly
'Oh really, well I challenge you to a race'
'Fine by me how about tonight?'
'Perfect, wait what about sleeping?'
'We don't sleep, ever'
'Alright then'
With that we headed home.
Maybe I should play a prank on the new boy to welcome him into the family. Thought Emmet
'Oh no you don't Emmet, you leave him alone for now'
'But you are going to race with him tonight, I saw it' Alice shouts from the main room
'Yeah but that's only to prove a point'
'Hold on, am I going deaf or something, I never heard Emmet say anything! And what did Alice mean by she saw it?'
'I forgot about that bit. Most vampires have special powers, I can read people's minds, but not yours for some reason, Emmet brought strength, Rose brought her beauty, Jasper can feel peoples emotions and Alice can see visions of the future, depending on the path they are on.'
'This might take some getting used to'
'Yeah it did with me, but lets not go there yet'
'About that what did James mean when he said that you didn't care otherwise you wouldn't have done what you did?'
'Well its complicated, maybe another time yeah'
'No Bella, now'
What do you think? R&R please
