Bella dropped me off home. I managed to get in contact with my brother through the phone. I asked him if I could tell Bella my secret. He told me that it would be my choice since I was a Melrone. Bella had to promise that she wouldn't tell anyone.

That night, I decided to sleep over at her place tonight. We had a quiet dinner. I was very worried about her. All she could do was stare in space on her bed. I walked over to her bed. "Everything is going to be alright Bella. You will see," I said to her.

"How was your trip to Texas?" she asked me. "It's been fine. I found out a lot on the family secret," I said to her. "What kind of a secret?" she asked me. I turned to her. "You have to promise that you won't tell anyone especially not the Cullens," I said to her. "I promise," she said to me. I took a deep breath and spoke.

"I'm a psychic vampire," I said to her. She snapped out of her daydream and looked at me. "What?" she said in shock. "I'm a psychic vampire. It explains my eye color to have some purple in it. I can reflect and levitate things," I said to there.

"What do you eat exactly?" she asked me curiously. "Energy from people normally, but I feed off of nature. I like eating food better than feeding off of energy though," I said to her. She gave me a nod. "My family are the leader of the psychic vampire community. I got permission to tell you about me being a psychic vampire," I said to her.

"You don't sleep then?" she asked. "I do. That's one of the differences between normal vampires and psychic vampires," I said to her. I went to my bag and pulled out a book on psychic vampires. "Here is a book to learn about psychic vampires. You can pinpoint the differences," I told her.

She took the book from my hand and started to read the book. I was happy that I was able to get her mind off of what had happen today and Edward. I showed her a picture of my family in California. We fell asleep afterward.

Next day....

Bella and I were walking into the woods. I didn't want her to go alone. We found ourselves at a meadow. I looked at Bella. Something wasn't right. Bella went on her knees. "Bella?" I called out her name and bent down to look at her. I thought that her depression was getting to her.

Bella stood up and looked straight ahead. I turned my head to see a familiar face. I didn't expect to see him. It was Laurent. I hadn't seen him since the day he warned us about James. I heard that he had been living with the Denali.

"Bella. Beverly," he said our names. "Laurent," Bella said his name. He came to us in Vampire speed. "I didn't expect to find both of you here," he said to us. {Why is he here?} It was strange for him to be here by himself. "I went to visit Cullens but, the house is empty. I'm surprised they left you both behind" he said to us. He was circling us.

I knew this. He was looking at us as his prey. I stayed on guard. "Aren't you both sort of a pet of theirs?" he asked us. "Yeah you could say that," Bella answered. "Do the Cullens visit you often?" he asked us.

I could see that Bella was thinking. I turned my head towards Laurent. "I had been out of town for the past two months visiting family down south. I wouldn't know if they had visited me," I answered him. His head turned towards Bella.

"Absolutely all the time. I'll tell them that you stopped by. I probably shouldn't tell Edward because he is pretty protective," Bella said to him. I knew that she was lying to him. She looked like she was delusional. I turned my head towards Laurent. He was walking around us again.

"He's far away isn't he?" Laurent asked her. "Why are you here?" she asked him. I came as a favor to Victoria," he said to her. {Victoria? I thought he was done with her.} Something wasn't right. "Victoria?" I said her name.

"She asked me to see if you were still under the protection of the Cullens. Victoria feels it's only fair to kill Edward's mate given he killed her's. An eye for an eye," he said to her. {That makes sense.} This was really bad. Bella was very vulnerable when Edward is not around.

"Edward know who did it. And he would come after you," she said as a threat. I could hear fear in her voice. This was not good. "I don't think he will," he said to her. {He read right through her.} "After all, how much could you mean to him if he left you here unprotected," he said to her.

He looked at me. "And you Beverly. How much could you mean to Jasper for leaving here here in the same condition as Bella," he said to me. {A lot.} He let out a sigh. "Victoria won't be happy about my killing you," he said out loud.

I could see fear in Bella's eyes. "But I can't help myself. You both are so mouthwatering," he said to us. "Please don't. I mean you helped us," she begged him. He came closer. "Shhh. shhh...Don't be afraid. I'm doing you a kindness. Victoria had plans on killing you slowly, painfully. for I will make it quick. I promise. You fear nothing," he whispered to her.

This was getting bad. I didn't dare to move. If I did, I didn't know how he would react. Laurent was ready to kill her. "Edward I love you," I heard her say and close her eyes.

SNAP!

I heard twigs snap. We all turned toward the woods. "I don't believe it," Laurent said. Out of the shadow of the woods, a huge, black wolf came out growling. More wolves came out of the woods and they were angry as well.

Laurent moved quickly and ran across the meadow into the woods. The wolves ran after him. I was amazed by their size. It wasn't normal. I saw a russet wolf stop to look at Bella then ran off. Bella looked a bit scared.

I saw Laurent stop in vampire speed and pushed away with force the black wolf. The black wolf got up and ran back towards Laurent. Bella and I took this cue to run. We ran into the woods back to Bella's house.

We saw Henry and Charlie there. They had been wondering about the killings in the woods. Bella and I told them that they were wolves that were hug. They were a size of a car. They took their shock guns and walked out of the house.

Bella and I looked at each other. "I wonder what this means," I said to her. "Something is going on," she said to me. "You think it relates to Jake do you," I said to her. She gave me a nod. I knew what she was thinking.

She was going to see him.
