“You're being incomprehensible! Eliza's a vampire, so why does it bother you so much that I want the same thing?!”

“She almost died! And you're just being impulsive! You weren't even planning on telling me anything! What did you think?! Huh?! That it was okay to make your mother and I think you were dead?! No! It's not okay!”

Charlie watched his daughter angrily as he ran his hands through his hair, his mind still processing the new information but to know that his daughter wanted to become a vampire without his knowledge was beyond him.

“Go to your room. You're grounded.”

“Yet you still care for Eliza, don't you?” she mumbled in disbelief before marching off to her room and slamming the door shut.

“Why? Why? Why?”

“And why did that shitty vampire treat me like that today?” she mumbled, throwing the objects on her desk to the floor.

“Because now, this shitty vampire can read your mind.”

Edward watched Isabella's puzzled expression as she began to turn her fury into discomfort and tried to look weak.

“Don't waste your time, Bella. I already know you're rotten, I've been able to read your mind ever since they left,” he revealed, watching her approach, still wearing her mask.

“W-What? What are you saying, Edward?”

“You want immortality, not me,” Edward spoke. “I never thought this was your real personality, I fell in love with a complete sham,” he mumbled laughing dryly as he looked away from her.

“Edward, I love you. I really do.”

“Will you if I don't turn you?”

Isabella fell silent, her mind beginning to devise answers, she was so used to not being read that she didn't seem to remember that her thoughts were now accessible to him.

“Don't bother, Isabella. This is over.”

“B-But I'm your mate!”

“Tua cantante,” he corrected, denying with a smile, “not mate. It's not the same thing. My partner is someone else and his mind is definitely not rotten like yours. Your blood sings for me, for me to drain it completely out of your body... but his blood calms me and makes me want to protect him.”

“I would love to be a part of your life... your family.”
