I broke apart remembering something important, ok not that important but the question was nagging at me ever since I read the series. Edward looked disappointed when I slid off the piano bench.

"Where's Carlisle? I'd like to ask him a few things."

"I believe he's in his office." I blinked and where he had been sitting before he left and now stood at my side gripping my hand in his and pulling me towards the stairs.

"Carlisle?" He knocked quietly.

"Come in." He opened the door revealing a beautiful office that I had read about oh so pages ago.

"How can I help you?"

"I have a question if you don't mind." He looked at me, his eyes piercing, I had to look away to reform my thoughts.

"Ok I know how stupid this will sound but I'm completely serious and I truly want to know."

"No question is a stupid question." He chuckled.

"You'll regret that." He gestured me to continue.

"Ok so if vampires are dead and have no blood how can they have sex? I mean the guys can't get a hard on cause they don't have blood so how does that happen?" Carlisle only smiled while Edward looked dumbfounded.

"W-what?" If he could blush I swear he would but I only stared at Carlisle truly eager for an answer.

"That wasn't stupid at all but a very good question. I don't particularly know but I'd have to say the only probable reason is that we're the living dead."

"That's what I figured. But I had to ask." Edward exchanged mystified looks at our casual conversation.

"One more, doctor if you don't mind."

"There's more?" Silly Edward.

"Not at all."

"Ok when Edward wanted to change Bella but was afraid of killing her, well that was part of it but anyways. And Bella just wanted his venom in her system. I have a theory how that could've worked but I want to know if it's plausible."

"And that theory is?"

"I call it the rattle snake theory. Have you ever watched discovery channel when they collect snake venom? Well they have a bottle and they put the fangs over some paper thing and the venom drips into that. Why couldn't you collect some of Edward's venom that way and then use a syringe to put the venom into Bella, although I know she doesn't like needles."

"That's a good theory. I'm surprised no one's thought of this before. I guess it would be possible but we've never tried. Hmm." Edward grabbed me by the hand pulling me out of the room leaving Carlisle to his thoughts.

"What was that?" He set me down at the stairs.

"Just a quenched curiosity is all." I skipped down the stairs leaving him stunned.

EPov (just cause I love him so and he's funny)

We spent quite some time visiting the house. Esme seemed relieved that I wasn't going into the zombie facade I had when I left Bella. Carlisle seemed confused as to why I would go down the same path again and so soon. It was confusing to myself as well but like Bella there was just something about her. She had a certain charm, there was her blood also but more that last time there was this charm. And here I lay back in the meadow next to a sleepy brunette who is ever so calm in my presence. Here I am yet again my life all in the hands of a simple human. Yet she seemed even more complex. Her thoughts were even more confusing than Bella's. Bella, thinking about her pulled at my silent heart, I banished the thoughts and continued twirling a strand of her hair. Her breathing became even and slow, had she really fallen asleep?

"Did you fall asleep?"

"Mm... Edward." She turned over so she was facing me and snuggled close to my chest. Was she asleep? Does she talk like Bella used to? I decided to find out.

"Yes?" I hedged.

"Edward... I... i... how...?"

"What?" Her breathing was still slow and even she couldn't be awake.

"Edward," She mumbled. "How do you ever expect me to sleep when you keep talking to me?"

"You are a very good actor." I teased, poking her in the ribs.

"I have to be." She mumbled quietly. Her voice was so sad, what could be wrong. Before I could ask she stood up.

"It's getting late I think you should be taking me home."

"O-okay." The first time I stammered ever except earlier this morning. This girl always took me by surprise.

The drive home was quiet. I could feel an eerie mood settling in the car. I thought I'd better bring it up now then never.

"Alice has it arranged where you can sleep over tonight. If you want." I stared at her out of the corner of my eye. The girl who was all giggles this morning was replaced. She looked over at me.

"Not surprising." And she attempted a small smile and then went back to looking out the window.

Memories. They haunt me. Always creeping back. My ultimate defense and he's managed to slide past it. People confuse me. Most act as how I would expect. Others are strange, not more than me. I wonder how my sub conscious will work it's defense now. If scarying them away didn't work like it usually does. No one can get close. He's getting closer than anyone ever has. I don't want to experience it again. I know him though. It's not like him. He's different. People are different. So why can't I believe that?

No. My thoughts they even confuse my self sometimes. I'm glad he can't read my mind. He wouldn't understand it anyway. But if he did, could, he'd know. They never know, they never understand. The stupor will not have me again. I'll be content, for now. Edward pulled up to the house, well the house he was living in now, him and his ridiculous driving. In one of his blindly fast moves he was opening my door while I was still unbuckling.

"Thanks." I took his hand and got out he didn't let go of it until we reached the house and even then he began to drag me towards the stairs. I looked around the house which was usually packed but the only vampire in the living room happened to be a Hale. The very Hale I wanted to talk to sat on the couch reading a magazine.

"Hold it, Edward." He stared at me and paused.

"I want to talk to Rose for a minute alone if you don't mind." He simply dropped my hand and without a second glance he darted off on lightning reflex. He didn't seem very happy.

"Hey Rose." "Hm." I turned to look at her and sat on the couch beside her.

"Can I talk to you. About something important." My throat seemed to tighten.

"Sure." She closed the magazine and I closed my eyes thinking for just a moment. I kept them closed as I opened my mouth to talk.

"You're story in Eclipse. What happened to you was really sad. And I guess after reading your side of the plot I felt a connection between us fictionally. What ended your life almost happened to me and totally ruined mine."

"What do you mean?"

"I think you understand what I'm saying to a point but ever since then nothing was as it seemed and to say the least I was screwed over and could talk to no one about it. And that was when I was eight. I was almost raped, my best friend moved and my other best friend left me to wallow. People don't look at me the same and I can't imagine how'd they acted if they knew." I didn't open my eyes and took a shaky breath. I didn't sound that bad in my own ears but it was as close to describing what horrors I'd been through. And that was only a few in one year, when I was eight.

I heard her whisper. "Charlie, what happened to you?" I opened my eyes to look at her.

"You want to know the sad part? I've never been able to cry over it." Before I could get my belongings together I was being lifted upon her lap and she started rubbing my back.

"If you don't want to talk about it we don't have to." She whispered.

"I really don't in fact I don't care anymore. Maybe that's why they call me monotone and emotionless. I have a thing with repressing bad memories that they're starting to mix. I just want to forget about this and lock it back up in the secluded spot in my head."

"Hm." She was thinking hard.

"Well then, Alice had a few things set up for you that she wanted to do. Go on up and see her and I'll raid the fridge for you." She winked and darted off, I landed with a small thump back on the couch. That was pretty cool, ha ha thump. I shook the insane giggle aside and headed up to Alice's room.

"Alice?" I opened the door gently. She flashed in front of me and lit up with a gleaming smile. I felt extremely better than before.

"Gee humans are slow." She pulled me aside and tossed something to me. Rose laughed at me already back with food.

"Go put these on. Go, go, go." I was shoved into the bathroom and the door slammed with a click.

Sorry for taking so long. Humans are slow :P super duper busy though. Yeah. And tired extremely tired lately.

Hey I'm gonna put a future quote in here from next chapter.

"At lease he can't take me to prom, I've already had that human experience."

Now that I'm on summer break I can write more often hoepfully.
