Chapter 7: Blood

Nessie's POV

There was nothing but pure silence for a minute. I could still feel Edward's eyes boring holes into my body. Whenever I glanced at him I was met with his furious stare.

Bella was the one to break the silence.

"Nessie you speak Spanish?" she asked me happily.

"Yeah I speak Spanish fluently. I started learning it when I was maybe four years old" I explained.

"Well your voice sounds very beautiful when you speak Spanish. Edward speaks Spanish too you know"

Fear confirmed. "Of course he does" I could hear the little bit of fear in my own voice.

"And there is nothing beautiful at all about what she said" Edward seethed. "Every single word that passed her lips were curse words and profanities. Words that I never want to hear coming from her lips ever again" Edward's fists were balled in anger. His last comments had been aimed directly at me.

"Okay I'm sorry" I said. "I just have this habit of speaking Spanish when I'm upset"

"Well just please work on that" he said.

"So Nessie you're bilingual?" Carlisle asked me curiously. "How did you learn to speak Spanish?"

"Actually I'm trilingual if you count American Sign Language. As for how I learned Spanish? Well there are quite a few Hispanic communities around here. I've always liked hanging out with the people that lived in them. My baby's father lived in one of them. He was four years old when he and his family immigrated here illegally from Mexico. They wanted to live somewhere wetter and colder so they chose here rather then California. Anyway, I used to hang out with him and his family a lot. It really helped with the whole Spanish thing"

"and how did you learn sign language?" Carlisle asked me. Again, sounding very curious.

"Well I met a couple of deaf kids on the streets when I was little. They only used sign language. I'm not sure how it happened but I was able to pick up the language pretty easily. My brain is weird, I think there is something wrong with me. I mean, I can learn and understand concepts at least ten times faster then a normal person, if not more. I think faster then most people. My brain just works really fast. I know I'm a freak-"

"Nessie you are not a freak! Don't ever say that about yourself again!" Bella scolded.

"Well I'm definitely not normal. That's for sure" That's without even mentioning the blood thirst part. Speaking of which it had been a while since I last drank blood and I was starting to feel thirsty again, but I wasn't sure how I was supposed to get it now. I scratched my throat as I felt the familiar burn in my throat.

"Ness?" Edward says, giving me this strange look.

"Yes?" I said.

"Are you okay?" he asked me.

"Yes" I answered. Why would he ask that?

Later on when I was walking through the house a familiar scent. Blood. It smelled mouth watering. It made the burn in my throat worse, as the scent of blood usually did.

I opened the door and was surprised to find a section of the room filled with bloodbags. I got one of the bags. Just as I was about to open it someone's voice stopped me.

"Nessie what are you doing?" Carlisle asked me, staring curiously at the blood bag in my hands.

"Nnootthing I'mm ssorry" I stuttered nervously. I threw the bag the down and ran straight past Carlisle. I didn't know what I was more ashamed by: Carlisle almost catching me drink blood or the fact that it was one of his bloodbags I was about to drink"

I really was a freak.
