My Twilight Love Story
Chapter 3: Confessions
Today was the day. The day I would confront him on what he is. But how would I do it? I guess I’m going to have to ask him come over tonight. The day passed slowly. At the end of the day I jumped at my chance. “Hey Seth? Can I ask you something?” I whispered knowing he could hear. “Of course, Bella. You can ask me anything. You know that.” He smiled. “Well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out this afternoon, in the forest my family owns. If it’s alright with your parents.” “They won’t mind as long as I’m home before eight. Yeah, I’d love to hang out.” “Awesome. Let’s go.” I was blissful that he’d agreed. When we got to the limo, only Jackson was inside. “Hey Jackson,” I began. “This is Seth, the boy who saved me yesterday. He’s going to hang out tonight.” “Oh, right. I forgot you told me about this earlier. Hi, Seth. I’m Jackson Rathbone.” “Hi, Jackson.” Seth said cautiously. I stifled my laughter because he was scared of Jackson. Jackson. The one who would never hurt a fly. When we got to my house we dropped our things off and headed to the woods. When we got there he was looking at my wild flowers while I stood frozen. “Something wrong Bella?” Seth asked, scaring me. “No, it’s just that…” I couldn’t finish. “That what?” he urged. “I know what you are. Your eyes change color week after week. You don’t breathe when near me. You stopped the van with your hand, and got to me at an incredible speed. Your skin is boiling hot. You barley eat at all during lunch too. Lastly, you can hear me when I whisper so low I can barely hear myself.” I finished. “So what do you think I am?” “A vampire-hybrid. Well, am I right?!” I demanded. “Yes, you’re right. It feels so good to have you know my secret now. But I’m not sure if I can control myself.” At that, I reached up on my toes and lightly kissed him on his perfect lips. I felt him pull me closer. I broke free and said, “Now that wasn’t so hard was it?” he smiled at me, “No, it wasn’t. Thank you. Your eyes are so beautiful when they’re gold and when your cheeks are pink.” This caused me to blush deeper, and for him to laugh louder than ever. I joined in his laughter. “What do we do now?” he asked me. I thought for a moment, “Well you could tell me about your family.” “Let’s see, my parents are Charles and Eloise Pierce. My father is a doctor who transformed my mother after she had me. She restores houses that have been falling apart for years. My adopted siblings are Rachel, Keith, Jared, and Ariel. Rachel and Keith are together, and Ariel and Jared are together. I can read minds, except for yours because I’m guessing you have a shield. Ariel can see the future, even mine and other creatures that she’s not. She saw you coming. And Jared can control emotions. Keith is definitely the strongest, and Rachel is the best with mechanics.” He told me. “So, you’re growing at an accelerated rate right?” I asked. “No, I’m an unusual hybrid. I grow and age at the same rate as any human. So I really am four days younger than you, and I am thirteen. I am venomous, and I can create a full vampire. I haven’t though, because when I bite my first human, I stop aging and become a full vampire. I’m saving it for someone special. I can have normal, full human children, except they would stop aging at age eighteen. Pretty freaky, huh?” he laughed. “Wow. So do you want to meet my family or go introduce me to yours? I know they won’t kill me because you feed on animals. I know that because you have gold instead of red specks in your eyes.” I said, showing off a bit. “You sure know a lot about vampires. Then again, you did grow up on the set of a vampire movie, so I expected it.” He paused to smile at me. “I would rather meet your family today. I need to give my family all the details about your visit before you come over.” “OK.” I grinned. We walked out of the forest had in hand, on our way to my house. Where I would introduce them to my new boyfriend.
