Little Bella

Chapter 7

As my eyes fluttered open, Carlisle and Esme were staring at me worriedly. Then Esme spoke. "Does he do anything else to-"
The door burst open. Dalton strode in, looking murderous. I cowered away from him.
"I'm sorry. She has this disorder.. and this isn't the first time this has happened," he lied.
"Well, I will take your word over yours. The police will arrive shortly," Carlisle's voice rang with authority.
"Wait, little brat, if-" Dalton started, but was interrupted by Carlisle pushing him out of the room.

I sighed contentedly, relaxing back into my pillow.
"You'll never see him again, Bella," Esme assured me. "He'll be in jail for as long as I know."
"That's good, I guess. But then... where will I go?" I was scared at the new thought.
"Well... you see, Esme and I have been talking... and we've decided to take you home with us," Carlisle beamed at me.
"Yay!" I cried happily. "Can I call you Mommy and Daddy?"
"Of course you can, sweetie," Carlisle's smile put the sun to shame. Esme looked like she was going to faint.
"But there's one more thing... it's a secret you must know and not tell anyone about if you are to come and live with us," Esme looked uncomfortable. "Well, you see..." she looked toward Carlisle for help.
"Me and my family are vampires," he finished.

I froze. Are they going to drink my blood?
"Are... you gonna..." I looked down shyly. "Drink my blood?"
"Of course not!" Esme immediately exclaimed, as if the whole idea were offensive. "We drink animal blood, you see."
"You hurt... animals?"
"We drink from animals so as not to hurt humans," Carlisle jumped in. "But now it's time for you to take your medicine."
