Revelation

'What is it?' I demanded in a frustrated manner.
Edward cleared his throat, 'Well, you know how there were some things about us that I couldn't tell you?'
'Of course I know…,' all the things that Edward has kept me in the dark about, all those strange happenings, how strangely strong that they all seemed, how unbelievably strong and graceful they seemed, there was a secret behind all of that, and I was about to find out.

I didn't know how to feel about it, on one hand, I wanted to know what was behind all this mystery; on the other hand, it must be something bad, something terrible as Edward refused to tell me. After all, he could only be protecting me, he loves me.

'Edward,' Alice hissed in a warning tone, looking meaningfully in his direction.
Edward glared back at her, as if somehow receiving a message.

And then, not taking his eyes away from Alice's direction, Edward muttered,
'We're vampires.'

'What?' I shouted out.
There was a moment of silence, which I broke with hysterical laughter, 'Is this some kind of prank, cause I get it now guys,' I clutched my side, I was laughing so hard, 'Come on, guys, I know that there's something different, but vampires? They don't exist everyone knows that!'

My outburst was greeted by silence from the Cullens, I watched as they looked at each other strangely. Alice then took her hand between her own,
'Bella, this is real, and we are really vampires.'
'Wha-what do you mean?' I replied shakily.

Edward took over, 'we're not like the ones you see in movies and books. We don't drink human blood, we can't turn into bats, and we can come out in the day, obviously. But we do have supernatural powers. We're extremely strong, and we have extremely good senses, like hearing.'
I look at him suspiciously, but seeing no sign of anything, I have no choice to believe him. They did kidnap me and lock me in their car after all.

'We don't drink human blood, so we call ourselves vegetarian; we drink animal blood instead to survive. But there are vampires that still consume human blood, and –'
'They're getting closer,' Alice said loudly.

'Bella, there are vampires that are after you right now. We don't know why but they want your blood. So now you need to trust us, we're going to try and distract them, and keep you safe, alright?' Jasper said.

'But, why me?' I asked in a timid voice.
Edward sighed and rubbed his temples, 'No idea.'
'There's always been a different scent to her,' Jasper murmured quietly in the background.
'She's different Edward, you know she is.' Alice added in.

'What's wrong with me? Am I not normal?' I cried out frantically.
Edward shook his head at his siblings, then turned back towards me, 'every human smells different, so there's nothing wrong with that… your scent is just, stronger than others. And some vampires, like me, have some extra skills, or powers if you will. I can read minds.'

My jaw dropped, Edward had been reading my thoughts all along? I couldn't believe it! 'That's beyond cool.'
Edward sniffed, 'Not really.'
'Anyway,' Alice cut in, 'Edward says that he can't read your mind. It's blocked, or something. I can still see your future, and Jasper can still control you.' Alice ended brightly.

'Is that your skill Alice? You can see the future?'
Before Alice could reply, Jasper started to speak, 'We haven't got time to talk about all this, seeing as your future is still at risk. Let's go,' he said, nodding at the house which the car had stopped in front of.
'Where are we?' I asked uncertainly.
'This is the Cullen household.'

um. reviews? :D
