A/N: Sorry that i didn't post this chapter yesterday. I was really busy with some school stuff. Apologies, have a great day -Han

Edward picked Bella and Amelie up at exactly 6:00pm and drove them to her house. Amelie was very nervous despite her strong exterior. She was minutes away from telling Bella the truth about herself. The drive to the Cullen's house was off the main road and through many trees. She had lots of time to think about how she was going to tell Bella.

She knew that Edward was reading her mind because she could see him looking at her with worry in the rearview mirror. No look of concern could help her though, as soon as she saw the Cullen's all plans that she had made flew out of her head. It was stunning. Its glass walls and  open exterior was the stuff of dreams. The sisters were in awe.

"Wow, it's amazing, so open and light, you know?" Bella said.

Amelie was spinning around staring up at it.

"What did you expect? Coffins and moats and dungeons?" Edward laughed.

Amelie answered, "Yes." at the same time Bella said, "Not the moats."

Edward lead the girl upstairs and a smell of heaven drifted into Amelie's nose. Spices of all sorts and even without Edward she knew she could find the kitchen. She rounded the corner and was face to face with four vampires. She smiled at Rosalie, Emmet and Carlisle when she saw them. The fourth vampire was a beautiful woman who reminded Amelie of her own mother, she strode forward and greeted Amelie and Bella with a hug, a warm smile on her face despite her cold skin.

"Bella, Amelie, we're making Italiano for you girls, " the woman told them.

"It smells amazing!" Amelie said to her.

Her smile grew even bigger.

"Bella, Amelie, this is my mother Esme for all intents and purposes." Edward introduced her.

"Buongiorno," Bella said awkwardly.

"Molto Bene," Esme replied.

"You're giving us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time." Carlisle joined in.

"I hope you're hungry," Esme added.

Amelie nodded her head and Bella shuffled awkwardly.

"Bella already ate." Edward explained to Esme.

What happened next was a reflex more than anything else. Rosalie and Emmet were making a salad in the kitchen. Rosalie was holding the glass bowl and at Edward word it shattered in her hands under her grip. The glass was sent flying over the counter but before it could hit the floor Amelie flung out her hand and used her air control to stop them mid fall.

Bella jumped back from her sister with a little squeak. Amelie who realized what she had just done dropped her hand and did the same, jumping back again as the glass and contents of the salad bowl hit the floor. The room seemed to pause as the two sisters stared at eachother. Carlisle snapped out of it first.

"Amelie has something to explain to you Bella...."

Carlisle and Amelie explained how Amelie's cells changed and reacted that day she collapsed at school. They told her all about Amelie's powers, what they were and how they worked. Bella looked slightly terrified during the whole time but Amelie had to keep talking otherwise she was worried she wouldn't be able to say a single thing.

"She's just like us," Carlisle finished, "She's supernatural."

Bella shook her head as though it would change the fact, "No, she can't be."

"I am." Amelie said to Bella.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I told her not to tell a soul," Carlisle said, "The power you just saw puts your sister in a great deal of danger. The super natural hunt the Nymphs because they fear them. There are very few nymphs left and having you know is putting you in danger. But, now that you know about vampires, you should know about your sister. Only you and my family knows."

Amelie tried very hard not to look at Carlisle. They both knew that the wolf pack knew about Amelie as well, but that wasn't their secret to tell.

"Do not be angry at your sister, Bella. If you want to blame someone, please, blame me." Carlisle told her.

"I just wish that you would have told me." Bella said quietly.

"I know Bella, I'm so sorry. But I'm always going to do what's best for you, and if telling you my secret was going to put you in danger I couldn't do that." Amelie said and she walked over and wrapped her hands around Bella. The whole world felt better afterwards. There was the sound of small footsteps from behind Bella and Amelie and they turned around together and saw Alice and Jasper walking down the stairs.

"HI Amelie!" Alice said chirpily.

"Alice," Amelie was not that fond of the sister but she showed her respect.

"I'm Alice," Alice bounced over towards Bella and hugged her tightly.

Alice backed away quickly, "Oh, you do smell good."

"Alice, what are you..." Edward began but was cut of by Alice.

"It's okay, Bella and I are going to be great friends, just like Rosalie and Amelie."

"No we're not," Amelie and Rose said at the same time. This caused a lot of laughter in the room.

Jasper stiffened beside Amelie.

"Sorry," Carlisle said, "Jasper is our newest vegetarian, it's still a bit hard for him."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Jasper said with a pained look on his face.

Edward was looking very uncomfortable.

"Take her on a tour of the house", Amelie thought.

Edward looked at her quickly before catching on.

"I'm going to show Bella the house." He said and placing his hand on her back, led her up the stairs.

"We'll I'll see you soon." Alice called after them.

Once they were out of sight, Esme and Alice burst into a fit of giggles.

"I think that went well." Carlisle said sarcastically.

"Well, look on the bright side, nobody ate her." Amelie said pas she pat him on her shoulder.

Carlisle cracked a smile and went back to doing the dishes.
