Okay, so I reread Breaking Dawn, and I realized I was using a lot of the same ideas as Stephanie Meyer, so I'm changing my story a bit. We are now going on Charlie not knowing anything, and I am deleting the chapter where she tells him. If you really liked that chapter and would like it, send me a personal message and I will send it to you from there. It's sort of a shorter chapter, because I wanted to get a new chapter out there before I changed my mind again… :P Enjoy and review! Smiles234
Edward came up and pulled me into him. He didn't feel cold anymore, but I still shuddered at his touch. "I know it's a lot to take in, love."
"It's not that. I mean, I am a little scared, but what am I going to tell Charlie, even if I can ever see him again?"
"We have been discussing a few things, but it's nothing you need to worry about right now. As far as he knows, we're still away."
Alice danced in.
"Edward…" She whined. It was even more annoying now not to know what was going on.
"What? Am I missing something?"
"Nothing. Alice…"
"You promised!"
"I know. Okay, fine. Bella…"
Before he could finish, Alice wrapped her hands over my eyes and led me to her room. She sat me down in front of her mirror. When I turned to look at her to complain, I saw the entire family, well, I suppose my family now, behind her. Edward must have told them.
"Alice, can this wait?"
"No! With all the mirrors in this house, you'll probably see yourself then."
"But-"
"Bella, come on. Look!"
I turned to face the mirror, hoping to get Alice to stop bugging me. At first, I still saw me. But the precision in my eyes noticed something different. My skin was paler, granite looking. My hair flowed over my shoulders. I gasped when I saw the eyes. My eyes. Edward caught my slight sound and must have guessed what it was about.
"They'll go away soon, fade into a golden brown."
I continued to stare at my reflection, until I moved towards my mouth. It had reminded me. I was thirsty, or what I assumed the burning in my throat to be. Jasper must have caught my mood change.
"Edward, maybe we should take her out hunting. It's been a few hours since she's woken up, and she's got to be thirsty by now."
"I guess we should. Bella, how do you feel about testing you hunting skills?"
"Not that great. How will I know what to do?"
"Instincts. And we're all going along just in case."
We all left soon after that. Jasper and Alice ran ahead to check if there were any humans wandering away from the trail. Emmet and Rosalie were teaching me how to follow my nose.
I had tracked down a moose and sucked it dry. I marveled at how expertly Edward had taken down a bear twice his size.
He must have seen me stare at him, and said, "Practice."
We started to head back to the house when everyone's thirst was quenched. Alice was running in front when she stopped short. I almost trampled her when I came up behind her. She must have seen something, because Edward grabbed my hand and ran faster to the house while Alice ran after us, explaining something to Jasper. Carlise, Emmet, Esme, and Rosalie were already at the house, having not known Alice had seen anything.
When we arrived there, everyone was sitting in the living room, probably expecting something had gone wrong since we were so late getting there.
"Carlisle, we have a problem."
