A/N: Thank you to those of you that reviewed. I really appreciate the suggestions and feedback. I have decided that I will give this story a few more chapters to see if people respond to it. It just feels like when people don't review, they don't really like it. That discourages me from continuing to write. Anyway, moving on, I worked hard on this chapter. I think that ya'll will definitely like it. Things are starting to come together now and speed up. So read and I'll see you at the bottom!

Changes in the Air: Chapter Four

Monday was here and I thought I might throw up from nerves. I was really nervous about school today. I wasn't sure if I should just walk up to the Cullen table and sit down, or if Alice would call me over. I mean how embarrassing would it be if I went to sit down, and Alice laughed at me because she was joking. I didn't think that she would do that, but then again I wasn't all that used to people wanting to be around me either.

After dragging myself from class to class all day, and steadily avoiding Mike Newton, I nervously made my way to the cafeteria. I still hadn't decided how I should approach the situation with the whole seating arrangement.

Deciding to just see what would happen, I squared my shoulders and walked into the cafeteria. I went through my normal routine of filling my tray up and paying for my food. I stood awkwardly for a minute until I heard my name being called.

"Bella! Over here!" Alice was practically bouncing in her seat. Of course, everyone turned to stare at Alice, and then at me.

I really didn't like all this attention.

I slowly made my way to the Cullen table and everyone in the cafeteria became silent. I set my stuff down and sat down between Alice and Edward.

All the students erupted into whispers. I could make out a little of what they were saying. "Why is that Bella girl sitting with them?" "Do they think that she is better than the rest of the students?" "I wonder if she will become stuck-up like the rest of them."

I tried my hardest to ignore the stupid remarks and smiled timidly at Alice and the other God like people sitting at the table.

"I am so glad that you decided to sit with us Bella," Alice said smiling.

"Well, it's not like you gave the girl much of a choice Alice. You practically screamed at her from across the room." Edward said giving a small smirk.

"Oh shush Edward. I did not make her do anything. Don't listen to him Bella." Alice continued to smile at me and began to introduce the other Cullens. "Bella, this is Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and you already know Edward I believe."

I gave a very small hello to everyone. To be honest, they all intimidated me. Rosalie set down the soda can that she wasn't drinking and turned to me. "So Bella, Alice has told us all about you. You're from Montana right?"

"Uh, yeah, I am. I'll probably go back too whenever I finish with school so that I can take care of Levi."

"Who is Levi?" Emmett asked. Hmmm…his voice didn't sound as intimidating as the rest of him looked.

"Levi is my horse."

"You have a horse? Do you do any kind of competitions?" This question came from Rosalie. She seemed genuinely surprised.

"Actually I do. I'm pretty good too. I almost won state a couple of years ago."

"That's really cool. So, Alice has told me that you are coming to stay the night with us on Friday." Rosalie stated.

"As far as I know. I mean, if it's alright still." I wasn't sure if Alice might have changed her mind yet.

"Of course it is silly." Alice looked at me like I was crazy for even assuming I wasn't staying the night. "Edward, you're being rude. How come you haven't spoken to Bella yet?"

Edward shot Alice a crooked grin. "Because dear sister, I already know all these things about Bella. I am just giving everyone else the opportunity to know her a little bit better." A small blush appeared on my cheeks. I hadn't realized how much I had told Edward about my life.

I was glad that he wasn't ignoring me on purpose. I shifted a little in my seat and went to grab a french fry off my plate. As I brought my arm back towards me, I knocked my water bottle off in the process. Without thinking, I bent over to pick it up and used my power to make it travel the three inches to my hand. Nobody else would have noticed it, but as I looked up, Edward was staring at me like he couldn't believe what he saw. His face held no emotion at all.

"Are you okay Edward?" Jasper asked concerned. It seemed like he was asking Edward a silent question and Edward nodded in response.

I really needed to be more careful about when I used my powers. I had to make sure that nobody was ever around again.

The rest of lunch was filled with more questions about my history from Rosalie, Alice, and Emmett. Edward stayed silent. Jasper seemed like he was too busy studying me to talk. It was kind of creepy actually.

The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. I thanked Alice and everyone else for letting me sit with them as I threw away my trash. Making my way to Biology, I hoped that Edward wouldn't still be acting all weird.

Unfortunately, he was. He sat as far away from me as possible and only spoke to me when I asked him a question. I would need to ask Alice to make sure it was still alright for me to come over Friday. I didn't want to go if Edward was going to be acting like this.

As soon as the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Edward jumped out of his seat and made it out of the room before any of the other students had stood up. I tried to hold back the hurt that I felt. I didn't want my emotions to get out of control and end up using my powers accidently. Pushing back the hurt I stood up and made my way to my next class.

I tried to find Edward in the hallway, but he was nowhere to be seen. There was something really odd about that boy.

As the week continued, my situation with Edward remained at a standstill. I sat with the Cullens every day, and Edward ignored me. It was like I wasn't even there.

It was now Friday, and I knew I needed to talk to Alice about Edward. I didn't want to go over to their house if he was going to continue to act weird. As I made my way to their table I noticed that Alice and Edward were having a heated conversation. Rosalie looked up to me and nudged Alice.

Startled Alice looked up and smiled at me. I guess their conversation was over. "I'm not interrupting anything am I?"

"No, no. Edward and I were just discussing whether the piano or the violin sounded better." Alice gave Edward a pointed look. I knew that they were talking about something else, but decided to drop it.

"Oh, ok. Well personally I think that the piano sounds better. But I'm not a very musical person."

Edward gave me a surprised look. Actually it was the first time I can remember him looking at me since Monday. "I think the violin sounds better. Did you know that Edward plays the piano Bella?" said Alice.

"No, I didn't know that. Are you any good Edward?"

Edward looked down at his hands as if he found them to be the most interesting thing in the world. "I'm alright I suppose."

"Alright? Edward you are better than alright. Hey, you should play something tonight when Bella comes over so she can hear." Rosalie told Edward. I was beginning to believe that Rosalie and Alice were up to something.

Nonetheless, I was interested in hearing him play. "I would love to hear you play Edward."

"Maybe I will. I don't know yet." I tried to not let the hurt show on my face.

"Oh come on Eddie, you can play for Bella," Emmett said teasing Edward.

"Don't call me Eddie, Emmett. You know that I do not like that name." Edward huffed.

"Whatever dude."

As soon as lunch was over I pulled Alice away from everyone else to talk. "Alice, you sure it's still okay for me to stay the night?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" Alice looked concerned. "You do want to right?"

My eyes widened at her question. She thought that I was trying to get out of it. "Yes I still want to, but I wasn't sure if I should because of Edward. I don't want things to be weird tonight…"

Laughing a little, Alice put her hands on my shoulders. They were surprisingly cold. "Don't you worry about my brother. I have everything under control."

Feeling slightly reassured I said good-bye to Alice and made my way to Biology. As usual everything stayed the same. I decided at the end of class that I would try to get Edward alone tonight and find out what I did to offend him.

As soon as school ended I made my way out to my truck. Rosalie was already there waiting on me. She was going to ride with me so that Edward wouldn't have to drive so slowly. My truck couldn't go half the speed that Edward's Volvo did.

The trip to their house was a quiet one. Rosalie would ask me a few questions about Montana or school every now or then, but otherwise the ride was quiet. It gave me some time to think about what I would say to Edward tonight if he continued to ignore me. Hell I didn't even care that he ignored me, I just wanted to know what I did.

After driving for fifteen minutes, Rosalie told me to take a left off the highway. The driveway to their house was a narrow one, but my old truck did fine. As the trees started to clear we came upon a beautiful three story house. It looked modern but also old at the same time. The outside was white with dark blue shutters. It had a full wrap-around porch with a bench swing on one corner of the house. It also had a five car garage connected to the side.

Parking my truck, I grabbed my over-night bag and followed Rosalie up the stairs. She opened the door and yelled, "We're here!"

Emmett came bounding down the staircase and picked Rosalie up, swinging her around. "I didn't think you guys would ever make it home."

"Neither did I. Bella, you really need a new vehicle. You're truck is soooo slow."

"Don't hate on the truck," I said laughing. I finally looked around the room. It was just as beautiful as the outside. Everything was modern but not overdone. Right now we were only in the foyer, but I could also see the living room and a hallway leading somewhere else. There was a grand staircase to the left of me that Emmett had just come barreling down from. I couldn't wait to see the rest of the house.

Alice and Jasper finally made their way into the foyer too.

"Emmett you owe me twenty bucks," Jasper said putting out his hand.

"Yeah, yeah." Emmett reached in his back pocket and took out his wallet. He reluctantly gave Jasper a twenty dollar bill.

"Wait, why does he have to give you twenty bucks Jasper?" Rosalie asked.

"We made a bet on how long it would take for Bella to drive here in her truck."

Rosalie gave Emmett a look making it seem like he did this quite often.

"I tried to tell him not to Rose, but he wouldn't listen. He didn't believe me when I told him that Jasper would win." Alice smiled at Jasper with joy and love. I wish Edward would look at me like that. Speaking of Edward, I wonder where he is…

"I bet you will next time you big oaf." Rosalie smacked Emmett on the arm. He smiled sheepishly at her. Yeah, he definitely did this sort of thing all the time.

"What are you kids in here arguing about?" said a beautiful woman. She had pale skin like the rest of the Cullens, the same topaz colored eyes, and caramel colored hair. Next to her stood a man that looked like an angel. He was probably 6 feet tall, blonde hair, topaz eyes, pale skin, and a very calming smile. His eyes looked like they held a lot of wisdom in them, but he couldn't have been older than maybe twenty-seven.

"Nothing Esme, just the boys betting on stupid things." Rose said while narrowing her eyes at Emmett.

"They will never learn will they?" said the man.

Esme laughed and turned to look at me. "Ah, you must be Bella. I have heard so much about you from my children. Welcome to our home. I am Esme, and this is Carlisle."

I shook her outstretched hand and noticed that her hands were just as cold as Alice's had been. "Thank you, it's lovely to meet you both." I couldn't help but smile at her. Jasper had mentioned one day during lunch that they were all adopted. I couldn't help but wonder how that was possible since they all looked alike. They all had the same colored skin and eyes.

"I guess we'll let you kids have your fun. Boys try not to break anything, and girls have a good time." Carlisle said as he and Esme made their way towards the opposite end of the house.

Alice and Rosalie took me upstairs to show me my room. I couldn't believe that they had so many rooms in this house. I was staying on the third floor. Alice had happened to mention that Edward's room was next to the guest room I was staying in. It made me kind of nervous to be honest.

After getting a tour of the house Alice, Rose, and I made our way to the living room. We had decided that we would watch a movie. Settling on Flicka, we got comfortable on the couch.

It was a little cold, and I started to shiver. "Bella there are some blankets in the hallway closet if you need one," Alice said not taking her eyes off the movie.

I got up to get a blanket. When I opened the door I sighed. Of course the blankets would be at the top of the closet. I was 5'6", so I wasn't short, but there was no way I was going to be able to reach the blankets. I looked down both ends of the hallway to make sure the coast was clear, and used my power to get one of the blankets.

Just as it floated in my hands, I heard someone suck in their breath. Startled I turned to my left to see Alice and Rosalie standing a few feet away from me.

"Alice, Rose, I promise it's not what it looks like…" I have never been more frightened in my life. They would never want to talk to me again after this. It had taken me forever to make friends and now I was going to lose them.

"I think that it is time for us to have a talk Bella. Could everyone come in the living room please!" Alice yelled to the rest of the family. Walking in front of me, Alice turned to face me. "Don't worry Bella, we just want to talk."

Nodding my head I followed them into the living room to find that all of the Cullens were sitting comfortably. Even Edward was there. I couldn't comprehend how they had all managed to get there when it only took Alice, Rose, and I ten seconds. Something didn't feel right.

I can't remember ever being more terrified in my entire life. I had never told anyone my secret, and now I was going to have to tell a whole family.

Carlisle was the first to speak. "Bella don't be frightened. We are not going to tell anybody about your power. In fact Alice and I have known for a long time now."

I looked up startled. How would they have known? "Did Edward tell you? I kind of figured he saw me using my power at lunch on Monday."

Everyone turned to look at Edward then. "Don't look at me like that. I didn't say anything because it wasn't my place to. I figured if Bella wanted everyone to know, then she would say something. I would like to know why you and Alice kept this to yourselves though, Carlisle."

I was grateful that Edward had kept my secret. He didn't have to but he did and that meant the world to me.

Alice turned to Edward to answer his question. "We didn't say anything because we didn't want you guys to freak out. I saw Bella in a vision using her power. I have been having many visions of her lately. They all point to somebody attacking her."

Wait a minute. Visions, someone attacking me? What was going on here?

"I think someone needs to explain to Bella what we are. She is feeling quite frightened and confused at the moment." Jasper said eyeing me cautiously. They could feel my emotions too?

"Bella, calm down. You don't need to let your emotions get the better of you right now. I have seen what happens when they do," Alice said soothingly.

Carlisle walked over to me and knelt down. "Bella I know that you are confused but I am going to try to explain all of this to you. Alice and I know what you can do because she can see the future. Jasper can feel and manipulate emotions, and Edward can read people's thoughts." My eyes widened in surprise. He could hear my thoughts? Oh Shit.

"I can't hear yours Bella. I don't know why, but it seems like you have some type of barrier around your head." Edward got out of his chair and started to pace the room.

"You mean there is something wrong with me?"

Edward stopped walking and turned to look at me. His normally stone face held a look of confusion and shock. "You find out I can read minds, and you think there is something wrong with you?"

I gave him a small smile. Carlisle turned to me to continue. "Like I was saying Bella, this is a very talented family not unlike yourself. There is one major difference between us though." He paused looking towards Alice and rest of the family. It seemed like he was asking for permission. They slowly nodded their heads. "Now, please don't be frightened when I tell you this, but we are vampires.

Holy Shit.

A/N: Sorry this one took a little longer to get out. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect and work has been getting in the way. I hope you liked it. This is by far the longest chapter I have ever written. I'll try to get the next one up in a few days. Oh by the way, I really need a Beta reader so if anyone is interested pm me. Review please!
