Chapter 3

Helen was a bit surprised to see their truck waiting for them in the parking lot.

Helen got in the truck and waited for Bella to get in too she asked "are you going to tell me what you know about Edward now? No one normal could have got our truck for us like this."

Bella smiled and said "you like him I can tell."

Helen asked "is he an alien?"

Bella laughed and said "No. You will never guess."

Helen asked "was he exposed to radiation and instead of making him really sick it made him super strong."

Bella said "that only happens in comic books you know radiation kills."

Helen asked "so what is it? He has told you hasn't he? I mean you are dating now aren't you? You would think he would tell you his secret."

Bella said "he did tell me but Helen it is secret I promised I wouldn't tell anyone."

Helen said "I'm not just anyone I'm your twin, come on Bella we never have secrets from each other."

Bella sighed and said "alright I'll tell you. Edward is a vampire. His whole family are vampires."

Helen asked "drinking blood kind of vampires?"

Bella said "they only hunt animals but there are others that hunt humans. We both smell very good to Edward more then the average human. He thinks it is both of us because we are identical twins so physically we are the same. He also can't hear our thoughts where he can hear everyone else's. He isn't sure why we both share that blockage for him but again he thinks it is because we are twins that it is both of us."

Helen said "wow vampires I never would have guessed that. I don't suppose people like us are suppose to know about them."

Bella said "I don't think so we can't tell anyone."

Helen said "who would believe us anyway. Is he going to make you like him?"

Bella shrugged and said "I don't know we haven't talked about it yet. He keeps telling me he is dangerous but I know he will never hurt me."

Helen said "he is too nice to be dangerous are you really going to Seattle tomorrow. I'm not sure I am up for a long drive yet. In fact I'm pretty tired just from being at school I think I will take a nap when we get home."

Bella said "I'm going to be with Edward tomorrow. But if you want me to cancel I will."

Helen said "No, You have fun with Edward I'm just tired I'm not sick I just need some rest. I have almost two weeks worth of homework to catch up on so I will be busy this weekend."

Helen laid down for a few hours and Bella fixed dinner.

The next morning after breakfast Edward and Bella left in the truck and Helen got to work on her homework.

Helen made dinner that evening but she went to bed early. When she woke in the middle of the night Edward was holding Bella while she was sleeping. Edward could have left before Helen noticed but he didn't want to let go of Bella.

Helen smiled at him and whispered softly so not to disturb Bella "don't let Charlie see you he will be upset if he finds out you were in our room all night. I have to pee."

Helen left the bedroom and used the bathroom she went back to bed she whispered "Good night Edward."

Edward smiled and whispered "good night Helen."
