I do not own Twilight Stephanie Meyers does, I only own Ishbel and her family. (DON'T LIKE THIS STORY; THEN DON'T READ IT) i apologize for the wait, but I'm back home and will be posting more often now. Sorry this one took so long.

I walked outside and into the breezy, yet warm air. I couldn't help but stare at Edward, and notice once again how handsome he looked. I swear he could wear a old rag (ME: hand-me-downs, old ripped clothes, ect) and still look handsome.

"Hey" I greeted.

"Hi, you ready" he asked.

"Yeah, just let me grab my sweater" I said.

I went back inside and grabbed my black sweater hanging on the coat hanger, and told mom that I was leaving. I then went back outside and said "Ready."

"Get in" Edward said opening the the door for me.

"Thank you" I said as Edward helped me in.

"You're welcome" he replied shutting my door, but as soon as I buckled myself in Edward was already in the drivers seat.

"I don't ever think I'll get used to how fast you are" I said as he pulled out.

"You will."

Remembering how he helped me in the car made me think of how a man was back in the 1900's or earlier, and made me wonder how old he was.

"Can I ask you something" I asked my curiosity taking over.

"You just did, but you can ask another one" Edward replied smiling.

I gave a small, light laugh and asked "How old are you?"

"I'm 17 years old."

"That's not what I meant, I meant how long have you been a vampire? Or how old are you in vampire years?"

"Would it really make a difference if I told you?"

I thought about it for a second before saying "No it wouldn't. But because of the way you helped me into the car, it made me curious."

"I was born in 1901."

I thought about it. If its 2010 now and he was born in 1901, subtract that and that would make him... holly shit! I'm sitting in a car with a 109 year old vampire.

"That would make you 109 years old" I said almost exclaiming.

"Yeah, I guess so."

He then stopped and I saw that we were in front of the entrance to the forest. I was glade I had chosen to wear sneakers.

"Come on" Edward said who was already holding the door open for me.

"Once again thank you" I said taking his hand, ignoring the coldness of it, and jumped down.

We were still holding hands when he started to lead me into the forest. I felt myself, emotionally, drawn closer to Edward. In the short time we have actually talked, and actually got to know each other I felt like I was falling for him more, and more each time. As we continued walking I noticed that my feet were beginning to ache a little.

"How much farther" I asked trying not to sound like I was complaining.

"We're almost there" he replied.

We soon made it to the edge of the cliff that we were on when I told him that he was a vampire. The sun was out and we sat there on the grass, and I was glade that I got the chance to rest my aching feet.

"Wow I didn't realize the first time that we went that far in" I said amazed.

He chuckled and said "Having speed makes the trip seem shorter."

"True. So did the rest of your family come from the 1900's or is that just you?"

"We all came from different times. If we're going to be doing 20 questions then how about you ask a question and then I ask one" he asked.

"I guess that's fair."

"And sense you just asked a question which I answered, It's my turn."

"Fine."

"So why are you taking karate?"

"Back home in Scotland I was always made fun of, because the school I went to was made up of mainly Americans, and the boys especially never understood why us Scottish spoke so funny and started beating me. Soon my dad found out and wanted me to be able to defend myself, and so he started teaching me karate; he's been teaching me sense 4th grade."

"That's quite impressive" Edward said.

I smiled and then said "OK my turn."

"Fair enough."

"So how did you become a vampire? Did you get bitten by another vampire? Is that how it works" I asked.

"Technically that's three questions but I'll let it go. In 1917 the Spanish Influenza hit the town I was living in with my parents. It wiped out almost half of the town, and then it got my family. First my father, Edward Masen Senior, then my mother Elizabeth Masen, and then I had it. That's where Carlisle found me close to death. I was almost dead when Carlisle found me, somehow my mother knew what he was and right before she died asked Carlisle to save me. He then turned me, I was the first to be turned, and it took a great amount restraint. When we first drink human blood, it becomes like how a drug is to you humans, you keep wanting more, and it's like you can't stop. But Carlisle taught us to hunt animals."

I had been silent as he told the story, I then realized that when we talked of vampires we immediately thought of something scary, or even fun, of course I think its both of those things, but really vampires aren't scary. In ways I realized that living forever must suck, because you never age you watch everyone around you die.

"Wow" was all I could think of.

"OK so it's my turn. What's your favorite color?"

"Wow that's original. Um red and blue. So sense you can read minds, can the rest of your family read minds or do they have different powers?"

"Only Alice, Jasper, and I have powers. I can read minds as you know, Jasper can manipulate emotions, like if you were happy he can change that and make you feel depressed instead, and Alice can predict the future."

"Wow now that's some gift. I guess she saw me coming?"

"Yes, but her visions don't work like that. The future changes everyday based on somebodies plans or decisions. So if you were in danger, like if another vampire clan started coming towards us she would see that, and if they changed coarse the vision would change" he explained.

"Ah. So what's it like becoming a vampire" I asked.

"It's painful. When Carlisle changed me I was in horrible pain for three days, that's how long it takes for the transformation to be completed. I felt like something was piercing my heart, and I remember begging Carlisle to make it stop and to just kill me. It was that painful" he said.

Just then my cell phone rang and I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Ishbel where are you? I thought we were going to get some practice in after lunch" dad asked.

I quickly looked at my watch and saw that it was 1:00 p.m.

"Oh my gosh! Dad I'm so sorry, I'll be there soon, I lost track of time" I apologized.

"Just know that you have to make up for that lost time" he said then hung up.

"You have to leave" Edward asked standing up.

"Yeah, I have to meet my dad at the karate dogo, I completely lost track of time I was supposed to be there half an hour ago" I said.

"I'll take you, I'll buy you a lunch to go and we'll still make it in time" Edward said helping me up.

"Alright, but I don't want you to go through any trouble with buying me lunch or anything" I said.

"It's no trouble at all."

He through me on his back and ran through the forest.
