Chapter 6
(Emma's POV)

As the three of us just stood in Bella's driveway when all of a sudden, I just start cracking up laughing, because who'd have thought that I would run into another vampire after last time. But what really got me thinking just how common are golden eyed vampires who only eat animals are there?

Edward answered my question as I just finished thinking about it. "It's not that common. There are only two known coven's of vegetarian vampires. It's more of the way that were brought into this life that makes the decision on our diet. It's easier for us to protect humans than killing them. I've only know of a dozen vegetarians in my hundred years and both of those are in the two coven's that I mentioned."

I smiled, but I said, "I'm going to have to get use to you answering questions from my head." I turned towards my sister. "So, how do you like it, Bella? Wait... wait a second, I know how I found out about vampires, but how do you find out?" I finished in a panic because I hope it wasn't how I did.

"Wow, Emma breath for a second, you okay" which I just nod yes for so she can tell me "I found out because I pay attention I knew there was something different about them but what really got me onto the vampire theory is a friend of mine called Jacob told me the legends from the La Push reservation a legend about how there tribesman would transform into giant wolves if there were every cold ones or vampires around and it kind of just all clicked into place. So I confronted Edward at school and he told me the truth."

"Okay, that just raises more questions, but I'll leave that for later. Just tell me this, how do you feel about knowing that there are real vampires running around?" I asked her.

This made her pause like she never really thought about it before but I think I already knew her answer since she seem incapable of her eyes off Edward for more than fifteen seconds which made Edward chuckle.

"I don't feel any different than if they were human. I'm not stupid, I know that they could kill me in a heartbeat, but I know that they won't and I just really want to get to know them as people, not mythological beings. What about you, Emma, you're the one that have already seen the worst part of their existence. How are you feeling?" Bella was crafty she turned it around on me.

I thought it through, but I knew what I really would have like was to know who the man who saved me was, just a name and I would be happy.

"I'm okay with all of them, including human drinkers as long as I'm not a snack, but really I have no problems at all. I just wish that I knew who the man was that saved me was? But I doubt that will ever happen." I sighed. (AN: She might just get her wish, LOL).

Edward decided on accompanying us, so we took his car, but I internally scoffed. 'A Volvo... really? Isn't that an old man's car?'

Forgetting he is a mind reader caused him glare in my direction after hearing those thoughts, so I muttered a "Sorry", but other than that, the trip to school was made in a peace manner as we listened to the radio and I watched the evergreen trees flash past the windows from the back seat of the silver vehicle.

Bella had begun to tell me about how Forks High only had a shocking small amount of students - 359 students, unlike my old school of 2021- but at least I was starting with already knowing people like Bella and Edward. The only downside was that I'm in a higher year then them and would most likely only see them during lunch unless we happen to be in one of the combined classes together, like Gym or Spanish. Apparently, due to the small number of students, they combined the 9th and 10th grades and 11th and 12th grade classes together during some of the classes like Music, Gym, Foreign Language and Health.

Finding the school wasn't hard seeing as it was just off the main 'highway' – if you could even call it that - and as I got my first glimpse of what looked to be a collection of mix-matched houses all with maroon bricks and if it wasn't for the sign saying 'Main Office' I wouldn't have thought that this was the school at all. Because it was already after nine, there weren't any kids hanging around the lot, so we got a parking space right out the front.

I continued to observe the 'buildings' as Bella and I got out of the car. There were two larger 'buildings' and I immediately assumed that they must be the gymnasium and the cafeteria.

"Edward, you better stay in the car since you're skipping class. We wouldn't want to get ya in trouble!" I suggested as I linked my arm with Bella and headed inside.

Bella leaned in to speak as I opened the door. "Emma, did you want to register with your surname or take the last name of Swan?"

I paused then as I thought about it, but immediately decided upon my answer. "I think I'll keep my name, at least until I speak with Charlie as it's his right to decide if he wants me to take his name. I mean, I can always change later, right?" I told her as Bella nodded her head in agreement, and we continued on.

The reception was so brightly lit that I had to squint until my eyes adjusted as I took in the room. It was a bit too warm than what was comfortable, which is odd seeing as how the room was filled with pots of flowers, which in my personal opinion, didn't need to be on the over-crowded desk. But hey, that's just me.

A lady was behind the desk had the brightest red dye job that I'd ever seen. She looked up with a pleasant smile as she spoke. "Hello Miss Swan, how may I help you and this young lady this morning?"

"Ms. Cope, this is my half-sister Emma Halliwell and was hoping she can enroll so she can finish her senior year." Ms. Cope gasped as soon as Bella said the word 'sister'.

After about forty seconds of silence, I clear my throat, getting the older woman's attention. "I brought my file from my last school with me. Would you like it?"

"Oh yes, Emma, is it? But yes, thank you!" Ms. Cope replied quickly

After twenty minutes of waiting and signing a few documents did we finally escape back into the car did we burst into laughter…. Since I couldn't speak, I told Edward in my mind which had him chuckle.

After leaving the school, Edward drove us down the main street as he pretended to be an English driver as he pointed out different shops and any interest fact and since we also had to a furniture shop we knew we would need Bella's truck so we headed back for it.

Edward left straight away saying that he needed to see his father at the local hospital that he worked at – a vampire doctor, go figure - but he would meet us back at the furniture shop later since he said that "Girls take forever shopping" but little did he know – we were not regular girls.

I couldn't tell you the last time I had so much fun even though we were picking out a double bed, linen, a desk with chair, chest of draws, two bed side tables, two lamps as well as a mattress of course but I also found this beautiful picture it was black and white but it was of a forest nothing special about it but I knew I was getting it.

Bella and I both liked the dark cherry wood for the desk, chest of draws, the chair and the bedside tables. The bed was made out of metal and painted black, the lamps were black metal, but had red lamp shades. I also bought a red satin cushion for the chair and if ya couldn't tell I really like red so the linen for the red was mostly dark red, purples and even a black set, I got a black and silver bed spread with Chinese symbols randomly sewn across it.

Edward showed up just in time to help us load everything onto the bed of Bella's truck and by now it was pushing 1 o'clock so Bella and I were starving. So, with the bags stuffed into Edwards car and the truck loaded we went back home and brought everything into the lounge room and it was here I saw the blessing on super speed.

"Bella, why don't you and Emma have lunch and I can assemble the furniture? After I'm done doing that, Emma can decorate. It's a million times faster if I do the unpacking myself." Edward told us.

"Thanks Edward." I replied with and watched in amazement as Edward became a blur as the boxes disappeared and emptied while Bella called out to me as to what I'd like on my sandwich. As she spoke, I finally managed to snap out of it and I heard a manly chuckle echo from my new bedroom.

By the time we finished lunch did I finally enter my room did I see Edward laying on my bed pretending to sleep or is he. I thought to silently sneak up to him as I grabbed a pillow and as I raised it to throw did he scare the shit out of me as he sat straight up as he whacked me with a different pillow. To say that I was gob smacked would be an understatement, but it really was kind of funny. But I did shoo him out so he could spend some time thing Bella and for the next two hours, I decorated my new bedroom and I felt great.

It's nearly 3 o'clock when the phone rang, so I headed out to see Bella speaking into the receiver before she hung up and turned to face me

"That was Charlie. He said that he's needed down in the next county and that he won't be home till late tonight, if not tomorrow. He said that he's really sorry that he won't be here for your first night." She said as she looked at me apologetically.

Edward decided to speak up, then. "Why don't you both come to mine so you can meet the rest of my family? That way, Charlie can still have your first night together with you girls tomorrow night!"

I thought that it was a really good idea, but I could see that Bella is worried.

'Oh yeah it's the whole meeting the boyfriends family deal,' I thought to myself as I mentally snickered.

"Are you sure Esme won't mind, Edward?" Bella asked.

"I'm sure, Bella. She loves to entertain company as well as cook and to take care of people. She will love the idea and if Emma is ready to go, then we can get there before my siblings do." Edward replied.

"All done, should you call Charlie Bella and let him know?" I questioned

After Bella does that we are back into the *old man's car* Volvo and were on the way to meet a family of vampires and I have to say this must be a first for humankind.

The Cullen House

Oh my gosh, it's beautiful!

It just emerged from thousands of tree till suddenly there was a meadow and right in the center was a house, but not just any house, it was a timeless, graceful and at least a hundred years old. It was a rectangular house with three stories as well as it was painted a faded soft white that really set it apart from all the green. All the windows and door were either originally apart of the structure or perfect copies.

Bella's truck was the only one I could see but with the huge garage a hundred meters away on the right was easily enough to see.

As I exited the truck, I closed my eyes as I took in the sounds of nature and I could faintly near a flowing river not too far off but still hidden from view.

"My gosh, it's beautiful... did you find this place or build it?" I gasped out.

"Thank you! I take it you like it?" He asked somewhat smugly and I nodded as he turned his attention towards Bella. "What about you, Bella? What do you think?"

"It has a certain charm." Bella smiled up at him.

He smiled as he pulled lightly on her pony tail just as a beautiful women with caramel colored hair and an oval face that just screamed happiness and love emerged out the front door.

My God, it was like meeting a real life fairy tale princess, Snow White in the flesh!

"Wow, it's the most beautiful house that I've ever seen. Did you build it?" I questioned the beautiful caramel haired woman.

"Not from the ground, but I always redecorate and renovate the house every time we move back, you know to keep up with time and style" The woman replied, but she spoke again, shaking her head as if she just remembered herself. "Oh, where are my manners? I'm Esme Cullen, Edward's mother. Bella, it's lovely to meet you officially and may I ask who this lovely young lady is?"

"My name is Emma Halliwell and it turns out that I'm Bella unknown half-sister from our dad, Charlie's, side. It's actually a long story, but I can explain later if you like!" I replied as we walked up the porch steps to where Esme stood on the wrap around deck.

"Oh my! Well, please do come inside and out of this cold weather. I do believe that I hear Rose's car coming up the driveway. Would you girls like anything to eat or drink?" Esme asked as she brought us into the lounge room. It was bright and roomy inside, even more amazing than the outside in my opinion. It looked as though it was several rooms combined and that the walls had been removed in order to make one large room. A beautiful marble spiral staircase circled up to the next couple levels, as it looked as though there were three levels, not including the basement.

Bella and I both replied with a "No, but thank you."

A minute later, the door banged open as a huge man bounced in as he shouted, "Sweet! Another human!"

A beautiful golden haired women who looked like she could be on the cover of Sports Illustrated slapped him across the back of his head. "God Emmett!" She said sarcastically as she eyed Bella and I in what appeared to be disdain, but looked at Bella with even more distaste. "What is she doing here?"

'I guess they aren't that Bella knows about them?' I thought and Edward discretely shook his head 'no' as he confirmed my suspicions.

A pixie-like girl with short black hair that spiked off in every direction skipped into the room and over to Bella. "Hi Bella, it's so nice to meet you! We are going to be the best of friends, you'll see!"

But the rest of the commotion was drowned out as the forth and final one of Edward's siblings came through the door.

The guy with honey blonde hair was strikingly familiar as I looked up and into his eyes as they locked immediately onto mine.

I gasped as I breathed out, "Do I know you?

A/N: Cliff Hanger! hehe! What do you guys think? Any ideas about what will happen next and what everyone's reactions will be to having Bella and Emma over when they aren't aware that either of the girls are aware of their secret? Review!
