I'M FALLEN EVEN MORE IN LOVE WITH YOU

Bella had driven up to see Jacob early this morning to tell him the truth. She'd gone in the forest again. Of course he was mad but he was too busy being concerned to yell. His voice was surprisingly calm, despite this being the fifth time she'd gone in the forest after him telling her not to.
He asked how she had gotten back, she was never good with direction and she hesitantly stated that Edward Cullen walked her...that seemed to set off an immediate reaction, he yelled at her about how he wasn't the safest guy to be around and went on to say that he didn't want her anywhere near him.
Its not like I can ignore him. He goes to my school! she'd told him which only made him angrier We have the same classes! she spoke again before he could say anything else but what he had told her next was something she didn't expect him to say. Telling her he never wanted her to see Edward again, that he was dangerous and unstable...it almost made her laugh YOUR A WEREWOLF! I'm used to unstable! she defended, her voice a few octaves higher than it usually was. That seemed to be all it took, he ran off after that, shifting and headed into the woods.
Angry, she sighed and then growled under her breath, stomping her feet on the ground as she walked back to her truck.
She drove to school after that, along the way rain started falling, pelting against her windshield "Can I get one day...one day where it doesn't rain?" she spoke to herself as she pulling into the schools parking lot, taking her usual spot in front of that silver Volvo, she was very much aware of the fact that that was Edward's car...maybe that was why she parked there.
Not that it mattered anyway. Even if he was the reason she parked there, she was still with Jacob but that didn't mean she couldn't talk to him...or be next to him.
There are so many things I wish to tell you, but I have the feeling you already know.
His voice rang in her head, it confused her...what did she already know. It didn't make sense. There was no possible way he could be a wolf, never mind the fact that he was ghostly pale but there was also the fact that he was freezing. Ice cold.
Sighing in annoyance, she stepped out of the truck but didn't go inside the school, instead she walked toward the shiny, silver Volvo, not bothering to care -or worry- about the warnings both he and Jacob had given her. She had alot more questions and like it or not, he was going to answer them fully and truthfully this time.
"Can we talk?" she spoke the very second she'd made it in front of his car, school didn't officially start for a good ten minutes, they had plenty of time.

  The rain was currently on his side, the sun had not shined for a good few days now, if not longer so when it rained everything went back to normal, even he could venture out and blend in with the many people that rushed by shielding themselves from the rain. Yet when it was sunny, everyone acted as if it was a heat wave, at the same time, he was confined to the forest and his home, although he enjoyed the time alone, the sight of four walls after many days and hours did grow tiresome. So today of all days he was in fact thankful for the rain as it poured down, lashing against the window screen of his car, droplets splatted the floor. With his windscreen wipers brushing back and forth his lights on Edward cruised at what was considered a dangerous speed to wards fork high school, the morning had not gone smoothly he had been once again voted in for the transportation, he had waited ten minutes that morning for Emmett to do, who knew what. With a frustrated sigh he glanced at the clock, it wasn't as if he was running out of time, they in fact had a good half an hour, keen as it appeared he simply couldn't wait to get out of the house, not only that, but his day was lined with excitement, he would get to see Bella again.
As he had sat in the car that morning, this small thought amused him beyond anything, with the radio blaring he drummed his fingers on the steering wheel impatient, Emmett soon enough decided it was about time to climb into the car, shooting Emmett an annoyed pointed look, he was soaked through, luckily he had avoided the first downpour of rain that morning which was more than he could say for Emmett, as he climbed into the car and slammed the door shut behind him, Edward winced, his poor car. Out of all the things he treasured most it was his car, his silver Volvo had lasted a good 6 years if not longer, and it has served him well, and for Emmett to simply abuse it like that, it was hardly called fair, for one thing he knew Emmett wouldn't like it if he did that to Emmett's Jeep, with a large grin Emmett glanced to him instantly Edward responded. "Don't even think about it Emmett!" he scolded, to late, Emmett shook his large head and droplets sprayed everywhere, growling in annoyance, he grabbed a cloth from the glove compartment and wiped away most of the water, "All over my car." Edward complained yet Emmett payed very little attention to this instead he simply howled with laughter. "Chill bro!, it's only water, it's not like it's going to stain or something" Emmett commented and Edward shot him an irritated look. "That's beside the point, it's all over my car."
So that had been his morning thus far, soon after Edward pulled up into the school parking lot, students gathered around in groups gossiping about pointless facts, and persistent babble. Yet another day or the same old thing over, and over again. Emmett climbed out first the rain fell at a drizzle now, Just as Emmett had climbed out he pointed behind, and then thoughts echoed in his mind like always. ohh, look! it's your girlfriend grinding his teeth in frustration Emmett continued on walking, yet Edward could not deny the odd sensation that crept though and over his body as Bella approached not a moment to soon she stood in front of his car, her collar raised shielding her self from the dull drizzle. Hearing her perfectly well, he frowned, talk? what was there that they could possibly talk about? regardless he nodded and leaned over the passenger side and thrust open the door, and called to her "Climb in" he added, his tone was curious what was there they had to discuss had he not closed that topic that day in the woods? Leaning back, he sat in his seat and waited for her to climb in.

Bella almost expected Emmett to say something stupid, she had shot him a somewhat warning look. Trying to be as serious as possible but it wasn't possible. Emmett was too funny to hate or stay mad at. She gave a small wave hello to Emmett, watching as Edward opened the car door for her. She, of course, slid into the car, more than happy to be out of the rain and cold even if it was for only a few minutes.
Her eyes shifted slightly to look at Edward, her face still very curious but she didnt have much time. She knew he'd either cut her off before she could speak or find some excuse not to talk, maybe he'd dodge all her questions again but this time, she wouldn't take no for an answer. She was going to get every last bit of information out of him that she could. Whatever he hadn't told her, he would tell her today.
"I've been thinking about what you said in the woods. When you walked me back...you said you wanted to tell me alot of things but...you felt I already knew." she began, shifting slightly in her seat so that she was facing him fully, her eyes studying his face for a moment, a very small smile gracing her lips.
It was clear he knew that she knew something which meant he more than likely knew about Jacob and the fact that he was a wolf...which meant he knew about the stories, the legends.
"So, im not leaving your car until you tell me what you wanted to tell me but couldnt..." her eyes were suddenly very serious and she folded her arms across her chest "You know about Jacob, dont you?...that he's..." she hesitated a bit. It was still somewhat weird to say it out loud though she'd gotten used to it and accepted it, admitting that she was dating and engaged to a werewolf was still a bit much "You know that he's a werewolf?...when you said I already knew, it meant you know something too..." she was smart, maybe a bit too curious but she didnt care. She'd find out everything about Edward, even if it meant doing a little digging. She would read every book, go to every website, talk to every single person on the reservation...one way or another she'd find out what Edward was hiding.
She licked her dry lips and tucked a few stray hairs that had fallen into her face, behind her ears before looking back up to meet his eyes "I wanna know what your not telling me...and dont say you cant because its for my own good...friends dont keep secrets." she used that for leverage. He seemed like the type to be loyal and true to a friend. He was always well mannered and well behaved...maybe pulling a guilt trip routine would get some information out of him.
Like the last time she wasn't wearing her engagement ring, in fact she never wore it. Only around Jacob would she wear that ridiculous waste of money.

Edward was almost relieved when Emmett passed by Bella without any form of comment, or even any dirty look, at least he was slowly learning manners, although it would take all the time in the world to get Emmett any where near the word polite, or courteous. At least they did have all the time in the world. As he pushed open the passenger door, he was mildly surprised that Bella had actually climbed in the car with someone she had met briefly in the woods. Reaching over her cautiously almost he shut the door behind her, she looked frozen through. Reaching out he flicked the heater on turning up the heat as it blasted through the vents. At the same time he turned down the music whatever it was she wanted to talk about he had a bad feeling about it, but there was little he could do now, other then simply acknowledge that fact and answer as best as he could, and answer with only part of the truth at least that way he knew Bella would be safe.
Leaning back in his seat he looked to Bella as she turned her body to face his, he slightly equally turned his, but still did not trust himself to stay close to her, and in his car that alone was pretty hard to do. None the less he waited for Bella to speak, she wished to ask questions and tomorrow he would ask the questions.
I've been thinking about what you said in the woods. When you walked me back...you said you wanted to tell me a lot of things but...you felt I already knew. Bella begun, and instantly his eyes narrowed, he hadn't even expected her to remember such simply words, his posture tensed a fraction, but somehow he forced himself to visibly relax, even though he himself wasn't, and still he managed a gentle smirk, like smile in return to her own, but his eyes remained hard, and continued to gaze intently at her.
As she continued Edward listened although his expression gave nothing away he refused to let it. However the look in Bella' eyes said she was determined to get some form of answer out of him, no matter the cost, something she would only regret later on. Still Edward waited for Bella to continue, whatever was on her mind was certainly frustrating as once again he simply could not read her mind no matter how hard he tried. When she begun to mention about Jacob, the dog from the reservation he remained silent for the long part, until she finally spoke the one word he hadn't yet, had expected to leave her mouth. Studying her face carefully he pressed his lips together in a tight line as if evaluating her, was she ready to know? Silently he nodded once and acknowledged the fact, a fact that he already knew that she knew about, hence his sudden unwillingness to get her away from him and therefore the other day out of the forest for many reasons.
He waited further, silence greeted him for the most part her scent clung to him and he held his breath for all he was worth.
I wanna know what your not telling me...and don't say you cant because its for my own good...friends don't keep secrets. Bella stated, which again caused him to freeze for a brief moment, no way was he about to tell her anything, Instead he tilted his head a fraction to the side and smile, his smile was charming, a crooked smile, that created a boyish look about him. "What I'm not telling you? Bella." He begun his tone faintly amused, yet all to serious. "If I told you, I would have to kill you, besides I would like to hear your theories about what you think I am hiding, as you so say. What makes you think that I am hiding anything at all?" He retorted softly how would Bella even know that he was hiding something if anything? unless she was exceptionally observant.

As he turned on the heat, she half smiled. Happy to be in a car with a decent heater, her truck was...in need of repairs. It was no secret that her truck was a hunk of junk that refused to work half the time but she loved that truck. She moved her hands closer to the vents, taking a very small breath.
She wondered for a moment if he was surprised that she still hadnt dropped the need to know everything there was about him, if he was worried that her curiosity would be a problem for him...and if whatever he was hiding, she couldnt help but think the trouble it might cause his family if she found out the truth. Still, she couldn't give up that easily. This is the guy she dreamed about, the guy she just couldn't get out of her head and she deserved to know something...anything about him and who he was.
"I dont think your hiding something. You are hiding something. You wouldnt know about Jacob if you didnt have anything to hide..." she spoke, looking down at the heating vents for a moment before looking at him. He hadn't had the heat on until she got in the car...the day in the forest, it was freezing, he was almost as soaked as she was and yet he didnt seem to notice, he almost ignored it.
"You dont scare me. Im not worried about you hurting me or...killing me."she half smiled "Im not afraid of you."
She'd said that a few times now and she meant it. There was nothing for her to be afraid of, she was certain of it. If he wanted to hurt her, he would have done so by now...the very first chance he got "You wont hurt me."
She stopped speaking after that, wanting him to get a few words in. It was only fair. She didnt know why she was concerning herself with him and his life. It wasnt any of her business, really "You know about Jacob, how?"

Sitting back in his seat he turned to face Bella they only had a few minutes left until the bell rang, five minutes to be precise. As the heating gushed out from the vents, he watched as she held her hands to it in attempts to warm up, he supposed he should of made more of an effort to act human, for all he wore was a simple t-shirt and a denim jacket. Crossing his arms he studied her, she was clearly set on getting him to answer some form of question one way or another and he didn't see any possible way out of it. Why were humans so..nosy? he frowned softly why, when he asked her to drop it, did she not just listen?
I don't think your hiding something. You are hiding something. You wouldn't know about Jacob if you didn't have anything to hide... Bella commented determined to catch him, out, Edward shook his head, his expression unreadable, turning his head he looked out the window for a long moment, the questioning tone in her voice, gave it away that she was perhaps more curious then she would ever really let on.
You don't scare me. I'm not worried about you hurting me or...killing me. I'm not afraid of you. Bella then said, which caused the corner of his lips to raise into a crooked smile, not afraid of him? that was perhaps the most stupidest of things any human could ever say when faced with a Vampire. Turning his head to face her again he studied her for a long moment, when she continued adamant that she wasn't afraid of him. "Not afriad..?" He questioned as he then purposefully with his breath still held, he leaned closer, closing the distance between the two of them, so very close that his breath teased at her neck. When his lips were close to her ear, he whispered his tone gentle, and low. "You don't even know me, yet here you are sitting in a car with a complete stranger.." He commented as he reached passed her and pressed the central locking down, firmly. It could only be unlocked via his side. "Scared yet?" he murmured against her ear, his tone lower, colder almost, yet still as smooth as it had always been.
He heard her heart beat increase by several notches, the pulsing of her blood loud within his ears, glancing to her neck, exposed as it was the sheer temptation to reach out, called to him. Foolishly he released his breath, her scent gushed, filling his dead lungs, he exhaled harshly. Too close, to close. Edward shouted within his mind, pulling back, he looked to her for a moment longer. Swallowing hard he moved back further, so that his back was pressed once again back against his door, trying to place as much distance as his car would allow between them, His breathing suddenly fairly heavy he looked out the window again and took a moment to collect himself before he looked back to Bella. "Sorry.." He apologized with a small frown, whatever connection the two of them had, it was certainly getting stronger by the moment, and each moment they spent together, this was wrong, so very wrong and so very dangerous. Finally after a few moment of silence Bella spoke once again.
You know about Jacob, how? it was one of the questions he really did not wish to hear. Composing himself he replied, his tone calm, his expression neutral. "My father knows, Jacobs' father and the many others."" He explained once again it was partly the truth, and extremely close to the truth, he realized her perhaps should not of said anything, but it was simply to late to go back on it now.

Bella's eyebrows were raised slightly, her eyes questioning and as curious as ever. She deserved some form of an answer, some form of truth. It wasn't exactly fair that he kept saying he couldnt tell her because it wasn't safe. That excuse was only good for so long...sure, she should learn to be patient and wait until he was ready to talk but this was something that nagged at her constantly, it was always on her mind. Who was he? Why was he hiding so many things about him and his family? Why is he so 'dangerous' to be around? None of it made sense...
She blinked a few times when he turned to face her once more, shaking her head as he questioned her being afraid of him "No, im not." she mumbled under her breath,frowning just a bit as he moved closer. Just close enough that she could feel his breath against the side of her neck. She swallowed the lump in her throat, trying desperately to remember how to breath. How to function, think...He wasn't making it easy. Just when she thought she had a handle on her breathing she felt him whispering, so very close to her and even as he locked the door, she shook her head "Im not afraid of you." she realized how stupid she sounded. Locked in a car with a guy she hardly knew but she was sure, one hundred percent sure that he wouldnt hurt her. If he wanted to, or planned to then he would have had plenty of time to do that in the forest the other day.
He apologized and she frowned, biting her lip for a short moment "I-its okay." she stammered, struggling to find her voice.
His answer only fed her curiosity, made her want to know more, her eyes grew even more curious as she looked at him and frowned slightly "Okay...so, you know Jake's a werewolf...you know the...stories? legends?" she looked down for a moment, biting the inside of her cheek before looking back up and a small smile reached her lips "About vampires?" she questioned with a small look of knowing. She knew that if this struck a nerve, if it made him even the slightest bit nervous, if he refused to answer her questions any further or worse, if he kicked her out of the car and ignored her for the rest of they year that she would have her answer...

Still after all that, she wasn't at all afraid? not even in the slightest? either there was something wrong with her, or there was something else, a part of him wanted her to be terrified of him to run screaming from the car, at least that was better than anything, at least she would be somewhat cautious, and at least then he would know if there was anything wrong with her. Looking to her now, he frowned, although her heart was racing, although her pulse was pumping, there was not an once of fear surrounding her, she seemed. Comfortable.
Sitting back he said nothing for a long moment, this would not end well he could see this now, perhaps Carlisle should know? yet what possible advice to he give him to deal with this? All he could think of was the coward's way out, to pack up and leave once again. To move on, as they had done from town to town. After moments of silence passed in which the two of them collected themselves and he, regaining his self control Bella spoke once again, her expression a give away that she was not about to let this drop.
Okay...so, you know Jake's a werewolf...you know the...stories? legends? Bella continued, he paused, whatever it was he didn't like where she was heading, not in the slightest. About vampires? She continued, and that was that. He froze suddenly, his jaw tensed, his whole posture froze, did she really know? or was it simply some form or a hunch, a way to catch him out? Slowly he forced himself to relax, he would not let on, he would try his hardest to dismiss that sentence.Slowly he nodded, his own facial expressions giving nothing away, he refused to even allow it.
"I have heard about them yes, what of them?" He replied keeping his tone calm, his expression cool. He hoped for her sake that this was nothing more then genuine interest, and that she would soon forget about it, all of it. If not then he was left with little in the way of choice, other then to move, to leave forks. Yet currently that was the last thing he wanted to do, especially when he was just beginning to settle down, to make a life. Even now when he had only just met Bella, he wished to know her, without the danger. Yet was it to far gone now? Did she know? There was only one real way to find out.

Bella watched him closey after the word passed her lips, her eyes carefully taking in as much of his face as she possibly could. Her lip twitched as she awaited his answer, finally setting her hands down and away from the heater. She was much warmer now and she was grateful he'd turned on the heat when he had. She would have gotten sick otherwise.
His reaction, the way he went rigid, it wasn't a dead give away but it didnt help him in the slightest. However she couldn't be entirely sure, not yet anyway. There wasn't enough to go bye. The mere fact that he froze at the mention of vampires could have been a normal reaction for anyone who knew about it...after all some people -if they were only just finding out about it- tended to get freaked out by the mention of it. But this was something else, something entirely different.
She would have looked at him more had he not calmed down just moments later. She sighed a bit, shaking her head quickly "Nothing. Just...its kinda weird that you know. Its not like Jacob's dad and the others go around telling everyone...how long have you known?"[/b[ she spoke, continuing with her line of questioning as she looked up at him for a moment. A knowing smile touched her lips. She only hoped he would answer more questions and that he wouldnt say they had to save this conversation for later. School was starting in less than two minutes.
She sat up right, leaning over him and unlocked the car door on her side. Though she didnt go to the school, she looked over shoulder for a moment, heading toward the forest area that arrounded the school, waiting for him to follow her.

Edward couldn't help but be grateful by her response, she was still curious that much was obvious, but on the plus side her curiosity seemed somewhat curved, perhaps he could get away with it after all. Keeping his expression calm and his posture relaxed even though he himself may not be relaxed he waited for her response
Nothing. Just...its kinda weird that you know. Its not like Jacob's dad and the others go around telling everyone...how long have you known? Bella finally spoke although it looked almost to him that she was somewhat disappointed, disappointed at what? he wondered silently, frowning softly he raised his shoulders as he continued to play along, he was telling the truth. Just not all of it. "A while.. we came across them, whilst we were out hiking.. they were in their forms, the leader of the pack, shifted before us we were about to attack them." He admitted again, it was partly the truth, with just the occasional white lie, but the odd one made no difference. His world was not for Bella, yet she seemed sure that she wished to know everything. Yet it was in her best interest that she didn't know, the only problem was telling her that it was better for her not to know, without actually telling her.
Suddenly Bella moved, she leaned across him her scent surrounded him once again and he drew a sharp intake of breath, her neck was exceptionally closer now, and with the faint breeze that followed her movement, how could he not resist? Yet by some..miracle here he remained, and here Bella stayed, alive. Removing his gaze from her neck he glanced to the side, a second later Bella was climbing out of the car he hoped for one moment their conversation had ended yet instead Bella had turned, away from the school and begun heading to wards the forest, of course he couldn't well just stand their and let her wonder of into the forest of all places. Climbing out of the car he shut the door, before he headed after Bella ignoring the many looks from the many people that passed by, some whispered rumors. Yet they were easily ignored. with his hands in his jacket pocket her followed after her, up the gentle slope that led into the forest. Soon enough trees surrounded them, and Edward stepped over the many logs and tree roots until he soon enough caught up with her.
His voice was low, and gentle and ever so slightly concerned. Which was most certainly odd. Frowning lightly he spoke. "You know which creatures roam in the forest yet still you wonder alone in the forest, you are either foolish or brave" He commented as he stopped a few meters behind her. What if she did know, if she really in all honesty knew? yet she was simply just hiding the fact, drawing it out in the attempts to get him to admit it? Which most certainly wasn't going to happen. It wasn't for Bella to know, she was better of not knowing, if only he could get her to see that now? For a long moment he stood their, his golden eyes gazed intently to the back of her. She trusted him enough to simply have her back to him? Remaining where he was a good distance away from her, he waited for her reply, a gentle breeze brushed by picking up the occasional leaf and twirling it within the wind, the tree's rustled softly, the odd chirp of a bird filled the moments of silence that followed.

Bella had no reason not to believe his story of how he knew about Jacob. He'd given her no reason to not believe him, he was answering questions and cooperating...a little. She would have loved if he gave her a bit more than 'he met them while he was hiking' but she couldn't force the truth out of him. At least she didnt think so.
She didnt respond to his 'how I met the wolves' story. Instead she focused hard on the steps she took, each and every step was carefully thought out so that she would not fall down. It was bound to happen sooner or later but she was fairly certain she'd be okay if and when she fell.
Ocassionally, she'd lose her footing and nearly fall but thankfully she managed to make it through the short walk without accident, ignoring the many eyes that watched her and Edward as they walked. She was certain rumors would spread like wild fire at school, word would reach Alice and her sister was sure to flip her lid. Alice had taken a liking to Jacob and she was dead set on this wedding, maybe more than she thought possible. Alice wanted her to marry Jacob, wanted her to be happy...there was sure to be a few problems, most of which would be Bella's fault.
After a few short minutes of walking, she came to a stop but kept her back to him as he spoke. She shook her head a bit, biting her lip "Im not afraid...of you or anything else out here."she murmured, wanting so bad to just turn around...instead she took in the smallest of breathes "You know more than your letting on. You didnt just meet them while you were hiking. Im not an idiot, dont act like im stupid." she whispered, only slightly offended. She did know that there was a reason he was lying so much, a reason he didnt want to tell her anyhting...he didnt want her to get hurt.
She sighed "You can't protect me, you know?....Jacob can't protect me, the pack cant protect me..." she whispered, looking over her shoulder briefly to meet his eyes with her own. Again they were golden, a brilliant liquid topaz. She frowned "Contacts?" she spoke curiously, staring just a little longer before averting her eyes.

Silently Edward followed behind Bella, all the time his eyes remained focused intently upon her, every time she would slip a sudden sensation would rush thought him, and each time his breath would catch, causing him to exhale deeply. What was it about her that really did affect him so much? Eventually they stopped, and Edward stopped meters behind her, his hands buried within his pockets he stopped silent, until Bella spoke, yet she still did not turn around only briefly did she glance over her shoulder, stepping closer he stopped, so that his breath touched the back of her neck yet only faintly.
I'm not afraid...of you or anything else out here. Bella muttered, then she was certainly foolish perhaps she didn't really know what waited in the depths of the forest, what each of the creatures. Including him. Were capable of. You know more than your letting on. You didn't just meet them while you were hiking. I'm not an idiot, don't act like I'm stupid. She continued, and Edward frowned softly, "I'm telling you what you asked of me, no more then I need to say, I don't think you are stupid, but I think you are foolish for walking so willingly into the forest when you know just what is lurking." He stated his tone was soft, and low, yet calm all the same.
You can't protect me, you know?....Jacob can't protect me, the pack cant protect me... Protect her? so she did know what truly lurked, yet she was leaving herself open, a sitting duck. "You don't know me. You don't know what I am, and are not capable of." He stated his own tone slightly offended, he could very well protect her, there was no doubt about that, all she had to do was ask, all he had to know was how dangerous this situation was, when concerning Bella's safety. Just then she glanced over her shoulder, their eyes met. The word that left her lips caused him to blink. Dammit. She was more observant than he had given her credit for. Looking away he paused. "Oh, um. No, just..trick of the light." he explained then mentally wished to kick himself why had he not just said yes?

I'M FALLEN EVEN MORE IN LOVE WITH YOU

Bella, though completely avoiding looking at him, could tell her had moved closer. His subtle and quiet footsteps were still sloshing against the wet dirt and grass. She smiled a bit, biting the inside of her cheek as she felt his breath, gently and very lightly graze against her neck. Goosebumps followed, slowly working up her spine.
"No, your telling me what you think I should know, what you want me to know..." she mumbled, looking down for a moment, she didnt want him to tell her what she already knew. It was more than obvious that he'd met the wolves and one had shifted in front of him. He would not have known about them otherwise.
"Wolves wont attack me. The only real threat would be a vampire...well, one vampire. Victoria." she shuddered at the name, her eyes suddenly frightened. Though she knew Victoria had been driven out of town, she couldn't help but feel a little bit afraid, maybe even worried that she might come back. There was always a possibility.
She froze when he spoke again you dont know what I am...what he is? Well up until now Bella had thought he was human.
"What you are?...dont you mean who?" she questioned, now fully turned so that she was staring at him. Her eyes were no longer curious, no longer questioning. They held a sense of knowing. If she wasn't certain that he wasn't completely normal before, she was one hundred percent positive now. He wasn't human.
She bit her lip lightly, sucking in her bottom lip as she turned back around, no longer looking at him. Her hair fell slightly into her face and a small breeze blew passed her, sure to carry her scent to him "I- I know what you are..." she whispered under her breath, just low enough so only he could hear...her voice barely above a whisper. She was positive in what she was about to say, so very sure that he was...dare she say it, admit the impossible, admit the guy she had taken such a strong liking too was a...
"Y-Your a vampire..." she mumbled again, another small breeze blew pass but she didnt care, she turned once more to face him, looking him right in the eyes.

As he drew a fraction closer Bella's heart rate increased yet another notch, the rhythmic sound calling to the animal, how easy would it be to simply reach out, to wrap an arm around her neck as he drained away her life? too easy, yet here he stood, not moving a muscle, her back still presented to him without fear. Without any shred of caution. Yet again, he did nothing. It was odd on some level the thing he wanted most at that moment stood before him, her neck exposed, yet he could not find it in himself to move.
No, your telling me what you think I should know, what you want me to know... Bella stated, and she was right, he was telling her what he thought she needed to know, all that she needed to know and on some level what he wanted her to know, any more and her life would only be in an even greater risk then what it was in at the moment, yet still Bella showed no signs of shying away form it, she had not taken the countless warnings he had thrown at her. Yet deep down he knew, no matter how much he tried to deny it, he knew that he wanted to let her in, to let her into his world, so easily. No one had gotten under his skin as much as she had, he hadn't let anyone get close enough. Except for Bella.
Wolves wont attack me. The only real threat would be a vampire...well, one vampire. Victoria. Bella stated, continuing moments later at the mention of the name, Bella's heart beat faster, the tangible taste of fear clung to the air, she was scared, scared of this vampire. Yet oddly he showed no signs of surprise at the mention of a vampire, why would he after all? "Your scared of her." He stated flatly. Frowning softly the urge to comfort her threatened to overwhelm him. Why did he feel so attached? so drawn to her, they barely knew each other yet already he was willing to risk his life for her, to even give his life up for her. With a frown still present he continued. "Why is she after you?" he questioned his tone soft, with undeniable traces of concern for her, and even fear for her safety and her life.
However that only lasted a moment, after he had spoken he realized his mistake, he prayed she hadn't noticed..yet it fell on deaf ears, it was the first thing she happened to pick up at that moment, he was about to agree with the fact that he had meant who, but it was to late. Bella turned around at that moment, meeting her eyes, he was met with a knowing gaze. Her eyes held small traces of fear, if only for a moment before they were replaced with curiosity, how much did she know? she couldn't expect him could she? As she turned the gentle breeze picked up her hair, catching it in the wind, her scent flew to him in an instant surrounding him, he held his breath subtly, as much as possible although it was perhaps a visible gesture, again it was to late to correct that, his eyes shifted to a darker shade, he had only hunted the other day. His throat burned, venom pooled in his mouth. He closed his eyes for a second curving his hunger at least for the moment, he could manage, he had no other choice, he had been around humans long enough now, yet this girl, Bella caused such a reaction.
I- I know what you are... No, she couldn't know, it was some..gesture, some trick in order to get him to admit it, he wouldn't couldn't do that to her, to throw her life into danger. He waited, still and silently, he barley even blinked now. Gazing to her he watched, her reaction her face became paler, her voice low and soft, hesitant almost. Inhaling a deep breath as he battled the urge to lunge for her, his eyes hardened then "Say it. Out Loud Say it." he partly demanded of her as he took a step closer still.
Y-Your a vampire... She stated, it was there, out in the open she knew everything, he did nothing to tell her otherwise, her life because of him, because he had stayed with her, been her friend her life was in danger now. He gazed to her, his expression hard, his eyes slightly darker, yet they still retained the same golden liquid color. "Are you afraid?" he whispered to her then, as he took yet another step closer, he stood directly before her now. Their bodies inches apart, he wanted her to be scared, he wanted her to fear him, he waited, and watched for any sign.

The way he spoke, the softness in his voice, it was surprising for her to hear him speaking so kindly to her. She imagined he would be as rude as he always was but to her surprise he seemed to actually care for her and why she was terrified of Victoria. She bit her lip, struggling with the words to answer his question but eventually shook her head, if he could not tell her aspects of his life than she could certainly do the same "Its nothing. The wolves have been keeping her away, Jacob's been standing guard outside my house every night..." she wouldnt, couldnt bring herself to say it wasn't only Victoria after her but her friends as well. Laurent and Victoria's mate, though the wolves were extra cautious and Jacob was overly protective, she was sure she was safe...as safe as can be when faced with three canabalistic vampires that want nothing more than to kill you. She felt bad for Jacob, he hardly slept anymore and when he did, he was out like a light for at least a day.
She knew staying here with him wasn't the safest of choices, in fact had it been any other vampire, she would have been terrified but there was no way...no possible way Edward would ever hurt her. She had nothing to be afraid of, nothing to fear.
When he asked if she was afraid, she seemed to go very quiet, very fast. Taking a moment to answer. She had to word this carefully, though even as she thought of a response, only one word passed her lips and she turned to face him, her eyes determined and stubborn as ever. She wouldn't back down, not now "No." she spoke in a slight whisper, knowing that answer would change everything.
Things had taken a turn for the worse. She couldn't very well deny everything she felt for Edward but she also couldn't deny that she still loved Jacob very much and she couldn't break Jacob's heart....though if she stayed with Jacob, then it would be Edward who got hurt...either way, no matter who she chose, not matter what path she chose to walk someone she loves. Someone she cares deeply for would get hurt and it would be her fault, her own fault for being both selfish and stupid.
