"I THINK EDWARD IS A VAMPIRE."
Elise turned slowly to Bella with wide eyes, the cereal slipping from her spoon back into the bowl.
"Bella, it's nine in the morning."
Bella shrugged, fiddling with her sleeve before sitting down across from Elise.
"I'm serious," Bella told her sister. "No jokes."
Elise fought back a laugh. "You're telling me the hottest doctor I've ever seen has a son that's a vampire?"
"I think they're all vampires," Bella added quickly. "The whole family. Called the Cold Ones. I was looking online and—"
Elise nodded. "Bella," she started slowly. "What have we learned about the internet? There are crazy people on there who come up with conspiracy theories—"
"It's not crazy!" Bella denied. "I'm serious. Look, the Quileutes have a legend about this group of blood-drinkers called the Cold Ones and—"
Elise took another bite of her cereal, watching her nearly manic sister speak about the oddest family in town as though they were vampires.
"Is that why Carlise's a doctor?" Elise smirked. "Because he can take all the blood packs from the hospital."
She grinned to herself, placing the spoon to the roof of her mouth so the back was hanging out. "Bella, I vant to suck your blood."
Bella rolled her eyes. "I'm going to prove it to you," she told her sister. "Edward's hiding something and I'm going to figure out what it is."
"And being Dracula is the most logical explanation," Elise took another bite. "Totally understandable."
"Look, I'm going to Seattle this weekend," Bella sighed. "Come with me. There's this book there and I think it could prove my theory." At Elise's hesitation, Bella looked pleading. "If you don't, I have to ask Jessica and then she'll ask Lauren and I don't want to go with them."
Elise debated it. "Your car won't make it to Seattle," she settled on.
"I can ask Angela?" Bella suggested.
"The one with the glasses?" At Bella's nod, Elise shrugged. "Yeah, okay. It's go to Seattle with you or think about death, so I think it could be fun."

"Good evening, Miss Elise," Carlisle's voice came through the phone.
Elise smiled despite herself, leaning against the pillow. "Good evening, Carlisle," she fiddled with the unicorn stuffed animal on her bed. "How was your day?"
Elise wasn't sure exactly why she and Carlisle had started talking over the phone everyday, but she wasn't exactly complaining. His voice was very soothing and comforting and sounded like velvet in her ears.
