Beautifully Undead

Chpt.11: Normal Reaction

Chapter 11

I woke up from a good sleep. No dreams came that night. I felt well rested. I sat up from Edwards bed and looked around. Cd's covered the walls. He really seemed to like music. I stood from the bed and walked towards the CDs to see if I knew any. Their was a lot of classical music.

I was so caught up on browsing his collection I didn't notice Edward come in.

"Good Morning." He said from the door.

I gasped and turned around startled.

He had an amused expression on his face.

"Morning."I mumbled to him.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked while entering the room.

"Yes. Your bed is quite comfy." I replied turning back towards the CDs.

He chuckled and walked up beside me.

"Do you like music?" He asked me.

I looked up to him and smiled.

"Yea. I found a radio a few years ago and I fixed it up. When I did it played country and classical music. I would always listen to it when I was nervous or scared." I said smiling slightly at the memory. I turned to him and to see him staring at me.

"It always help calm me down and make me feel safe." I told him softly.

"Do you still have it?" He asked me curiously.

I looked away and replied sadly.

"No...." I ran my fingers across a few cases.

"I blew it up on accident." I said to him.

"Blew it up?" He asked

"Yea. Combustion another one of my many...gifts I guess." I said sadly.

"That's to bad." He said to me.

"Yea." I sighed.

"Well your welcome to any music in here. Just try not to blow it up." He said to me with a smile.

"Thanks." I said smiling back.

I decided Edward couldn't hate me to much if he was willing to let me listen to his huge collection of music.

"Well, well, well look who is finally up." I heard a booming voice say.

I turned to see Emmett grinning in the doorway.

"Morning Emmett." I said grinning back.

"Esme says to bring you down for breakfast." He said to me. Before I knew it I was being thrown over his shoulder.

"HEY! PUT ME DOWN!" I yelled.

"Not a chance." Emmett said laughing loudly.

"Edward help me." I said to him giggling.

"Sorry!" Edward reply with a chuckle.

"Thanks for your help Edward!" I said as we reached the bottom if the stairs.

"Your welcome." I heard him reply.

As we walked through the living I saw Alice, Rosalie, and Jasper. Alice and Jasper smiled. Rosalie just rolled her eyes and looked away. I waved at them as we passed.

When we finally made it to the kitchen Emmett put me down.

"You know I could have easily walked down here." I told him.

"I know, but it's not everyday I get to pick on someone younger then me." He said smiling. I rolled my eyes and sat down at the table.

Esme brought a plate full of pancakes to me.

"Morning dear. Made you breakfast." She said happily.

"Thanks. It looks delicious." I replied.

The Doc came in with a smile.

"Hello Cora." He said brightly.

"Hi." I replied.

"I think I speak for all if not most when I say we are looking forward to seeing you use your abilities." He said.

"Hmm...do I get to know your secret. I told you mine."I said to him.

Carlisle looked at the rest of his family who I noticed were all in the kitchen.

Then he looked back at me.

"Yes." He said with a soft smile.

"Alright. What is it? You can trust me."I said to him.

"Well I'm sure you have noticed things about us. Like our eyes, the beauty, the coldness of our skin" he told me seriously.

I nodded my head waiting for him to continue.

"You see Cora we are vampires." He said watching me closely.

I stared at him to see if he was making a joke. I turned to the others to see that their was no hint of laughter in their faces. Not even Emmett.

I picked up my fork and took a bite if my pancake. I chewed it slowly. I thought about the possibility of vampires. I mean if their were people like me, why couldn't there be vampires. I looked up to see worried expressions. Well except Rosalie she seemed to be emotionless. I swallowed the pancake and stared at them.

"Ok." I said after a long minute.

I took another bite of the pancake and began finishing my breakfast.

"Okay?" Carlisle asked.

"Yea." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Are you not afraid?" Jasper asked me.

"Hmmm....nope." I said picking up my plate and heading to the sink.

"Wow! You sure you haven't been hanging around Bella?" Emmett asked me.

I looked at him confused.

"Who is Bella?" I asked confused.

"Bella is Edwards human girlfriend." Rosalie said as if she was bored.

"Oh...well no. Why do you ask?" I asked still confused.

Jasper answered me this time.

"Because you act as if it is not a big deal that your in a house full of vampires."

I stared at him.

"Did you want me to scream and run away?" I asked tilting my head slightly.

Everyone laughed at this.

"A normal human reaction would be to scream and run away." Jasper replied smiling.

"I'm not normal." I replied with a grin.
